clutching a scrap of paper in in his hand, completely oblivious. He hopes she doesn't, that girl was really really cute!

flusters and blushes, going after the paper. "N-no! Just...just a cute girl, not a girlfriend!"

she wasn't taller than him..he reaches for the slip of paper, unable to reach. "Si! Si, just a cute girl, that's it!"

flusters. "She's...ah..she comes off very shy at first, but I suppose when she knows what she wants, she's very determined." Hence the number. "She agreed to meet me at a cafe tomorrow.."

blushes dark, smoothing out the creases in the paper. "Ah..si, maybe. If all goes well. She's very cute..."

smiles at that, happy to walk with her. "Si, if you wish to hear about it." Since she's here, he leads her down the road towards a small dessert shop. "Do you have anyone these days?"

supposes so. "Si, you always seem to have humans falling over themselves to impress you. I can't blame them." She was rather very pretty, he'd always known that much.

smiles at her words, before he starts to fluster a bit when she calls him that. "I'm not little anymore, bella. I was headed home...but we can go out for gelato if you would like."

blushes even more, but stays close to her as they head off. "I wasn't cute. Feliciano was the cute one." So cute everyone had thought he was a girl for some reason. Then again he himself was obviously a boy, _

_and that bastard Spain still made him wear dresses too BT

glares at a passer by obviously checking out Eliza. "I don't know about that. I think we argued a lot even then..." Well they never argued so much as he yelled at Feliciano...

blinks at the tap, shrugging slightly as he tugs her a little closer. "Feli...is just Feli. He moons over everyone."

that some thought. "Si...I guess so." He hoped so at least. "Although I do yell at him a lot. He does stupid things, bella."

that's a nice way of putting it. "si, si...when he remembers to think at all"

smiles a little at the nudge, tugging her up to the gelato shop. "I'm not that harsh, it's what's true." He motions with his head "Which flavour would you like?"

hums. "I like them all. But I might try Amarena...it's just plain gelato, but it has cherry sauce swirls."

orders two of them in the larger sizes, paying for them, and handing Elizaveta her cup. "There you are, bella."

nods. "Si, si. There's a fountain over there, would you like to go over?" He offers his arm again, thinking it only right that he did.

pleased to have Elizaveta on his arm, and leads her to the edge of the fountain. "Luckily the weather is nice today."

sits next to her, glancing back at the fountain for a moment. "You should come visit more often." He missed her.

blushes a little, but he can't help it. "I should visit more as well...I will."

nods. "Si, si, I'm sure he misses you even more." He blushes a little darker at her giggle, scratching his cheek as if that would hide it.

nods. "Si, that would be good...but we don't have to invite.." That bastard, ugh. "Austria, do we?"

tries not to scowl, and silently attempts to word what he's about to say as politely as he can. He'd rather not swear in front of her. "I...hold grudges." That was better than _

_calling him a prissy potato sucker with a pole up his ass, that fucking split up he and his brother.

does scowl at that, even if slightly. "I know. But.." It was hard for him to not hold grudges. "I guess I can try...for you, bella."

flushes a little at that. "I guess...." He'd have to hold his temper the entire time...

eats another spoonful of the gelato. "Okay, bella. If you say so." He didn't see what would be fun about Roderich, but if she said it would still be fun, then he trusted her.

smiles at that. "You're welcome. Anytime, okay bella?"

flushes happily. "Grazie, I think. I can't imagine not being polite to ladies.."

scratches a little at his cheek. "Grazie..."

looks up at her, before shaking his head. "No, not really. Did you?" Maybe they could have dinner together or something.

perks up at that. "I would be happy to, bella. What would you like to do?"

smiles at that, grabbing her hand and tugging her off. "Si, definitely." It had been so so long since he's gone for a gondola ride on the canals. Too long.

used to go all the time. He wasn't sure why he stopped...it was peaceful. "No problem, bella." He carefully helps her onto the boat, knowing it tended to rock.

nods. making sure she was okay. He climbed in after her, paying the man. "Si, a little." He sat down, sighing happily.

smiles. "We used to. I used to come by myself sometimes too. It's very...relaxing, for me."

blushes slightly. "Ah, that is a good idea, isn't it? Maybe I will..."

smiles at her, a little shy. "Si. It's a good idea...I really hope it works out."

gets shy about this stuff! "Si...alright."

would deny being..cute. He glances around, enjoying how calm it is. "We should have brought wine or something."

nods. "Si. Next time? If you're not busy, that is..."

happy to hear that. "Buono. Maybe next time we can go sight-seeing as well."

smiles at that. "Si! It'll be lots of fun. We haven't had a day like that in a long time..."

smiles a little at that. "Si. If not the economy, and laws, and normal things, it's my boss getting into scandals."

supposes so. "You would think he'd stop sleeping around with strippers after the first few times he was caught..." But no. He had a dumbass for a boss.

humans are often quite stupid on a whole. "Si...how have you been doing?"

a little scared to ask, but he's heard gossip about her and those two potato bastards. He just wants to make sure she's alright... "Buono...if you ever need anything..well, I'm here, si?"

nods at that, reaching over to give her hand a quick squeeze. "Alright, bella. That's all I want."

anyways. "I know, bella. You'll kick anyone's ass, si?"

's shoulders relax a little at that. "Good. Good..."

flushes a little at that. "Bella, I can take care of myself, you know."

flushes, but he has to give that much to her. "Well si...but I'm grown up now." He watches a little affectionately, he does kind of think of her like a sister in some sense. "But if I get into trouble, I'll _

_let you know, si?"

can't help but think of Feliciano at that. "Some more than others...."

smiles when she laughs, and nudges her lightly. "We should do this more often."

to agree with that. "Maybe I'll drop by with pasta and wine sometime...if that's okay?"

smiles at that. "Buono. I'll try and remember to call in advance, si?"

isn't polite to everyone. "Don't worry yourself, bella. I just don't want to disturb you if you're busy."

swats at her hand lightly. "Bella...well, alright, then."

[what are they doing, again? Still on the canal?]

glances up when the boat comes to a stop at the end of their stretch. He holds a hand out to help her up, handing a few Euros to the man. "Buono..."

flushes lightly, shrugging a little. "Bella, I don't think I'd ever be anything else to you."

blushes at that, but smiles. "Buono. I wouldn't want to be anything else."

doesn't think its much of an effort for her. It's hard to be nice to some of the other nations though..dio. He shrugs a little, just happy for the moment. "Is there anyone who isn't kind to you?" Well...that_

_Prussian bastard always picks fights with her, but other than him...

huffs a little at that. "Who?"

...will do something to Gilbert for her. "Sadik is...but I can yell at Romania for you."

still do something to Gilbert. He at least deserves it. "Are you sure?"

her a look, but relents. "Alright, bella..."

tends to worry anyways. He feels better when she takes his arm, and leads her along the street. "Okay...what do you want to do now?"

her a soft smile. "I'd take you to Rome, go see the coliseum...but for now...hm."

nods. "Si. I think...for now, Cinque Terre...it's quiet..and nice. Peaceful. No cars allowed."

smiles, leading her towards a tram. They'd get close as possible this way before going on foot. "The view is beautiful. There are many hidden beaches, and olive groves, and.." He sighs a little in happiness._

_"It's wonderful."

nods. "Si. When I need to get away for awhile...just relax. It's becoming more overcrowded with tourists these days, but there are a lot of areas that are still quiet."
