Chapter 22: America

The first part kinda centers around Romano's POV as well as the other nations.

And Again. Sorry for the really late update, but... Tadda! Another note, I'll be changing how Mika speaks again. It would look like this now:

'Something like this.'

I'll be using apostrophes instead of quotation marks. That's it. READ ON.

Romano awkwardly retreated to his place next to Portugal, shuffling towards his sister silently while keeping a keen eye on his twin. Veneziano was being as flirty as usual, something they both gained from their grandfather. Nothing really unusual with him, Romano noted with a scowl. His brother was an idiot but was still family.

Romano perched himself on a desk then slowly turned his attention to the honey-haired girl known as Katherine DelPillar.

Veneziano.

That was what the girl had said, and Romano was as curious as ever, especially now that she's proven she's no normal human. He had purposely introduced himself and his brother by their alias names, just like the other nations had done. There was nothing wrong with it.

Human names were mere aliases. Romano thought about his real name, Italy Romano. That wasn't an alias. His actual name used to be the city of Rome, his grandfather's capital. After Roman Empire died, Romano's territory spread to the entire South Italy and he soon changed his official name from Rome to Romano, the nickname given to him by Ancient Rome.

Veneziano was named after the city of Venice, for whatever reason.

Romano blinked twice at that; only he and the countries knew about their names, unless called in public. Maybe it wasn't unusual that she called his brother Veneziano instead of Feliciano.

Again, Romano paused. He mentally scowled now. This girl known as Katherine was a pain. How did she know Veneziano's real name? He didn't even say anything!

But the again, it could just be a mistake. . .

No. She was clear with her words and didn't even hesitate to say it.

But Veneziano and Feliciano are pretty similar. . .

But. . .

. . . Ugh.

This was not his day.

Romano scowled again.

Damn bastards, dragging him all the way to this stupid school. Why the fuck did they need him? They had the damn Sushi Bastard! Even the Hamburger Bastard was good with tracking.

Damned idiots, making my damned head hurt. Romano's not in the mood for shit now. He glanced again to Veneziano then began pulling at his hair, grumbling curses.

Especially when my stupid brother was still flirting!

He gave off a quiet snarl when Veneziano continued to flirt with Katherine. It was annoying.

Across the classroom, Veneziano shot Katherine a flirtatious wink as he cooed, "Ve~ Did it hurt~?"

Katherine raised a brow at the younger twin and asked, "What?"
