staring vary intently at one of the melons nearby (she knows she can eat it alone but should she?) and runs into him.

curses loudly and rubs his arm before noticing her. Giirrrlll.... "Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, are you okay?"

takes a moment to steady herself, grabbing his arm to keep from bumping in to anyone else. "Oh I'm fine...Sorry!" She looks up and blinks at him with her big baby blues. "Well aren't you just a cutie? Hey,

wanna share a melon with me?" She looks over at the melon on the stand nearby. See? That was good right? IF someone would share it with her.

turns bright red and scratches the back of his head awkwardly. Sure, he liked girls and was nice to them but that didn't mean he didn't know how to handle it when they were nice too him. "Ah.. if you want..?"

to flirt. She especially liked to flirt with the shy type too. Though she wouldn't be too bad till she knew him well enough to know that he was okay with friendly flirting. "Oh awesome. I'd feel like a fattie

if I ate it all by myself." She is taking him by the arm, too bold for her own good, and strolls him over in that direction.

stays totally red. He wasn't sure if he would welcome any kind of flirting but he's too nice to tell her off so soon. He isn't even sure if she is flirting with him. His arm tenses at the contact and he-

moves a little away while still letting her hold the arm.

looks up at him and tilts her head. "So like, where are you from bucko cause you look totally familiar somehow. It's super freaking me out." She laughs. "You have a cute little curly too, how sweet."

avoids looking at her. "Oh, ah... I'm from Italy.... Southern Italy."

looks up again and beams moving to step in front of him now. She reaches up, grabbing his face to turn it down- oh Amelia. Brazen and no sense of personal space. "Oh! That's why you remind me of that pretty

pasta lady!" She laughs and lets his face go. "Seriously, are all Italians cutie patooties?"

( I'm sorry my character is difficult to deal with haha)

sputters and flails his arms a little, panicking a little internally. "Y-you mean Ch-Chiara?"

(( XD It's totally fine~ ))

blinks up at him and grins. "You know Chiara? Wow do all Italians know each other?" She has him by the arm again now, catching it as he flailed it, and pulled him over to the melons.

just lets her pull him, he figures it's probably just easier to go with it. "Y-yeah... she's my sister..."

stops and looks up at him reaallly hard. "Sister? But she doesn't have a...." She finally has a lightbulb moment. "YOu're like the dude South Italy. A boy pasta kid!" She laughs and decides that if he's a

nation they should totally hug. Which she does, pulling him down into a almost too tight but still rather quick hug. She had a soft spot for the Italies so meeting another was exciting.

returns to flailing and being red. Really, he'd probably be flailing and red the rest of the day at this rate... "S-so, how do you know her?" He couldn't imagine Chiara having a friend like this...

beams at him and strikes a jaunty little pose, one that accentuates her figure. She gives him a little teasing salute. "I'm the U S of A, and me and her are totally friends." Though Chiara might not agree of

course, but Amelia thought they were at the very least. "You can call me Amelia, sweet thing."

stares. Well that explained nearly everything.... "Ah.. So you're his counterpart?" He generally was easily annoyed and his America's personality but this was a girl. He couldn't be too annoyed by a girl...

him a sweet smile and nods. "Alfie's a bit of a dweeb sometimes but I like him well enough." She shrugs one of her shoulders just a bit and hums. "I'm totally cooler than him okay?"

doesn't really believe that yet but he will just nod and pretend. "S-si..."

nods at this and turns. "Now about this melon. Which do you think is best huh?" She pokes through the ones there.

blinks before turning to go through some. "Hmmm... there's a few decent ones here... I'm sure we can find a good one."

easily pleased and she pokes around until she finds a nice one. She presents it to him with as serious a face as she can manage. "How about this one, Mister Italy?"

...takes the melon. "This one is pretty good, I guess..." He takes a final look over the other melons before tucking it under his arm. "Let's go pay for it."

a little sound of success and hops. "Alright. Let's go!" She follows after him. "So what's your name pasta kid?

pulls out his wallet and pays the cashier as he replies. "Lovino... and I'm older than you." He pouts a little at being called kid.

him a sweet smile. "But you got quite the baby face for your age, Lovi-hunny. It's hard to believe that you're too old ya know." She likes to tease.

starts walking out the store. Okay, he was wrong about her not being able to annoy him. He puffs his cheeks and looks away. "Tch, just don't call me kid."

giggles at how he puffs his cheeks up and bumps their hips together as they walk. "Oh alright, but cute's still alright?" She smiles and reaches up to poke his puffed up cheek.

steps away from her. "No! I'm not cute and I am not a kid!"

huffs and gives him her full power pouty face. "I mean cute in like the good way- not the kid way. Like the 'Look at that cute band member: he's totally dreamy." She tugs gently at his shirt sleeve. "Don't be

mad."

grumbles but reluctantly stops pouting as much. "Fine..."

smiles a little at this and nods. "How about we crack this sucker open at the park huh? That'd be fun!" She pauses. "Oh but no knife."

tilts his head, thinking. "I have a pocket knife... but that might be too small."

about that. "Yeah me too." She hums and thinks about it. "Well we could ask for help or something. Or buy a cheap 'just for now' one?"

shrugs. "My house is just around the corner, we could pick one up there. And I could grab my guitar."

blinks at this and looks a bit doe eyed. "You play guitar?" Musicians are hot okay... She nods. "Let's do that! It'll be really fun then."

nods and starts leading the way to his house. "Okay, I need to practice more anyways."

nods and moves though to take the melon from him. "If you're gonna get your guitar, I should carry this. Otherwise It'll be awkward to carry huh?"

shakes his head and holds onto the melon. "No, it has a strap, I can just carry the guitar on my back." He wasn't going to let her carry it even if it was awkward.

pouts a little up at him and shrugs. "Well if you say so." She could help though. She could just throw him over her shoulder and carry him around too, but there was no sense in it because he was only being

polite.

wasn't nearly as strong as her but he was a man, dammit, and he would carry everything even if it hurt! They get to his house and he pauses. "Do you want to come in or stay here? Shouldn't take long."

smiles and shrugs. "Whatever you prefer. I don't wanna invite myself in." She runs a hand through her hair and hums gently.

shrugs and walks in. "I don't mind either way. Seems like everyone from your world barges in anyways. Might as well invite one of you in at least once."

giggles. "Maybe they just like you is all. You're a pretty attractive dude." She steps in and looks around, curious.

turns bright red and quickly walks to the kitchen to hide it while he grabs a knife. "A-ah... grazie..."

giggles against his hand at the bright red cheeks. Oh that was so cute! "I call 'em as I see 'em." She follows him in and hums. "I bet you're like a super good cook."

"Ah... W-well, I don't know about that..." This was really weird... he wasn't used to anyone complimenting him, let alone with such frequency. He just knew he was going to embarrass himself at this rate...

laughs. "You're a shy one, huh? That's alright. Be bold! You'll have women everywhere swoonin' for ya." She hums. "Want me to put the knife in my purse?"

pauses before deciding that he couldn't physically hold the knife, melon and guitar. He passes it to her. "W-well, I'm already seeing a girl so I don't need that..." He hadn't seen her in a long time, though...

smiles at this and tucks the knife away into her bag. "On you're seeing a pretty lady!" Oh! Juicy gossip! "Who is she? Oh I bet she's cute as a button!!"

looks away as he mumbles. "Oh... ah, Giselle..."

blinks and thinks about that for a minute. She processes- "Oh that Germany lady with the bright eyes and white hair." She stares at him close. "Oh wow I bet she totally doms you."

twitches. "What? No way, dammit!" His cheeks puff and he pouts.

him a little smirk and shrugs. "If you say so. It sounds like, totally hot though." She lets him go to get his guitar, flouncing back toward the entryway.

sighs and grabs his guitar, swinging it over his back before following her. "Have you seen her around lately? Giselle, I mean..."

about this. "Naw, I don't think I have. I mean, she's pretty noticeable so I'd have probably at least recognized her on the street.

nods slowly as he walks. Well that was one more person who hadn't seen her...,

realizes that he seems a bit upset by this answer. "To be fair, I don't see her a lot period. Like I'm pretty disconnected from Europeans half the time."

glances at her. "Alright." He stretches his back a little as he walks. "I think she's back wherever you guy- girls came from..."

about this. "Maybe? But she could just be drunk somewhere."

starts to debate that but... "Yeah... I guess..."

pats his back. "I'm sure you'll find her huh? Chin up. If I spot her, I'll send her your way."

nods. "Ah... thanks."

doesn't like seeing people sad. She pats his cheek and tries to pull him out so they can go find a place to sit and eat this melon they bought.

blinks in surprise but lets himself be pulled along.

smiles up at him. "I'm really glad it's all sunny and stuff today."

nods and looks around. "Si.. it is nice out."

smiles and hums a little. "So what's your hobbies huh? Other than wooing your lady friend?"

scratches the back of his head. "Ah... well I play guitar and cook?" And he was really too lazy to have anymore hobbies than that.

about that. "Well see those are good. I wish I could cook better. Food is pretty awesome."

shrugs and starts walking towards a picnic table. "I guess it is. Well, some foods are. Some foods are terrible."

laughs softly at this. "Yeah but it's usually the terrible-st when you can't cook right?" She moves to sit down at the table and dig the knife out of her purse.

sets the melon down. "No, there's no good way to cook potatoes."

giggles at this. "Sure there are. Don't like potatoes huh? Picky eater?" She hands him the knife.

huffs and starts slicing the melon. "No, I'm not picky. Potatoes just aren't good."

giggles against her hand. "I guess everyone has their own tastes." She wouldn't argue it too much though she would eat most things without too much problem.

splits the melon before sitting down. "Potatoes and beer... I don't like either of those."

blinks in surprise at him. "Really? Beer is a no go? I mean I guess I prefer other shit to beer but when you want to get hammered it's useful."

makes a face. "It tastes really gross and the smell is bad, too!"

laughs at his expression. "Well I won't argue that. You drink it to get drunk, not cause it's good."

"You could drink other things to get drunk, though!"

nods and leans in to get a slice of the melon. "Yeah, that's true. I like cocktails. They taste pretty great.

nods. "Cocktails are good." He takes some for himself and starts nibbling at the fruit.

starts to eat now, happy with this and humming gently. She looks up at him. "This is pretty tasty huh?"

finishes a bite and nods. "Si... I don't have melon often, but it's good."

smiles at this. "Oh! Me either. But it's good sometimes." And she was already missing summer and this was a good 'summer food.'

didn't have many weather changes where he lived so he just ate most foods anytime of the year unless they were special holiday foods. "I guess they don't grow well here..."

hums. "No kidding?" she says. She thinks about that. "Well it doesn't matter. You got tons of other good foods huh??"

shrugs. "I guess? I like most of the food here so I don't mind."

smiles at him. "Well that's what matters right?" She demolishes her piece of Melon and reaches for another.

nods and takes more time with his own, enjoying the weather and food,

*.

smiles at him. She liked that he seemed happier now. She just continued to eat, hoping he'd play the guitar when he got done with his food.

finishes up his melon, sighing contently. "That was pretty good."

beams and looks rather smug. "See! I knew I was having like the best idea ever."

rolls his eyes before pulling his guitar into place.

looks curious when he finally pulls the guitar out. How dreamy~ She eats another piece of melon, eyes trained on him.

starts strumming a few chords to practice.

munches and waits. She very much liked musicians

.

starts playing a simple song as he warmed up, a few other people in the park listening in.

smiles at this and likes that people are starting to gather as well. >u<

doesn't really notice the other people, he was just focusing on his guitar.

really impressed with his sound, and the people watching are enjoying it as well.

starts to play a tarantella song, humming along to his playing.

tickled pink by how happy he seems to be as he plays- well if not happy he seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. That was pretty awesome in her opinion..

really was happy and enjoyed playing guitar. It always cheered him up. Or at least made him a little less grumpy.

that's cute! He was really rather good though and that made her happy.

finishes a song and glances over at her.

claps delightedly as he finishes. "That was wonderful. It sounded awesome." She beams. "No wonder that German lady has the hots for ya huh?" she winks.

blushes and looks back at his guitar. "Yeah... I guess it was pretty good.."

beams at him and winks at him. "It was perfect. See? You have a nice little crowd that agree with me."

...notices the crowd. "....Go back to your business, dammit!!"

giggles at how startled everyone looks. Oh he was so huffy!

pouts and swings his guitar to place on his back.

smiles at this. "Oh but they all had so much fun. You did really well!"

grumbles. "I don't want a crowd..."

smiles and pats his shoulder. "Self conscious?"

scoots away. "N-no! J-just don't want a crowd..." He fidgets and looks away from her.

smiles at him. "Well, I think it's kinda sweet you're like that."

blushes bright red. "I'm not!"

pats his cheek and giggles. "You are!"

moves even further away and... right off the bench.

gasps as he falls and is instantly pulling him up out of the grass. "Oh honey come here did you hurt yourself sweetheart???"

sputters a little before starting to cry a little. That hurt, dammit!! "St-stupid bench moved..."

blinks at his tears and leans up to wipe them away. "Oh sweetie no...! Don't cry." She kisses his cheek and pulls him down into a hug, stroking his hair a little. "Oh honey it'll be okay." She was like Alfred

in this way- she didn't like to see people cry well when they didn't deserve it anyways

.

sniffles and starts to pull away but dammit, he's already totally embarrassed himself so he just sits there and lets her hug him. "C-chi... dammit..."

her nurturing hero side kicked in. She rubs his back and shushes him and tries to help him calm down to where he isn't quite so embarrassed anymore. "I know honey."

blubbers on a little more before sniffling one last time and looks away from her. "...Grazie..."

smiles at him when he finally gets himself under control and she wipes his cheeks clean. "No problem sweet thing."

grumbles and tries to push her hand away gently to clean his own face.

softens at that, even with the grumbling and pushing. He was a big baby but he was trying to be tough. It was sweet really.

stands up and stretches, trying to act tough.

giggles a little. "You're a good person. I like you." She has decided that she approves of him and she nods imperiously. "Next time you can come to my house and we'll do fun things.

stares at her. He... really didn't know what to think about that. "Okay."

him a happy sort of smile and leans over to look him over. "Do you have a phone??"

blinks. "Uh... yeah?"

looks him over, and she's trying to find which pocket he's tucked it away in so she can snatch it!

A small tomato phone charm dangled out of his shirt pocket.

blinks when she notices and grabs it, dashing out of reach so she can put her number into his phone (and steal his number of course.) "A-ha! How cute lil tomato."

flails and tries to reach for it to grab it back. "H-hey!! What are you doing?!"

grins and keeps out of reach, programming her number in lightning fast. She was good at texting and using a phone for things like this by now. "Nuh-uh! Wait!"

keeps flailing as he goes after it. "Wait?! For what?!"

laughs softly and is trying to get his number typed into her phone. She shoves it into her cleavage when he gets to close to catching it. "Hey now, if you'd calm down I could take down your number with no

problem?"

turns bright red and looks away as he nearly grabs her chest. "Chi... you could have just asked for it..."

laughs softly. "It's not nearly as fun that way." She only fishes it back out when he seems like he's given up and types the rest of his information into her phone. She turns and snaps a picture of him- all

bright red like that- for her contact image. "Ah! How cute!"

huffs. "H-hey!! No pictures, dammit!!"

him a sweet smile and passes him his phone back. "Too late~" She leans up and pecks his cheek. "Okay okay, I'm going to go now, but like you should totally text me! We'll hang out and it'll be fun. Okay?"

puts his phone away grumpily. "Not if you steal my stuff, dammit..."

giggles at little. "Now c'mon Mr. Grump. I didn't hurt anythin' and gave it back. "Come and see me sometime!" She gives him a flirt wave and a wink before she's off again, humming. She had to get back to her

errands now.

grumbles to himself before walking off. "'M not grumpy..."

(Amelia likes grumpy people x3 She thinks it's funny i'm sorry x3 )

(( XD No, it's fine~))
