Romano's POV

"Oh my God this is an amazing moment for me! I'm graduating!" Belgium squealed and hugged me. I smiled. "Hey I'm-a going with you to the-a same college," I said and hugged her tight. I released her only to find that Belgium was crying. "Ragazza why are you-a crying?" I asked. Belgium wiped her tears. "They're tears of joy Lovino!" Belgium exclaimed. I kissed her forehead. "Well it's always-a nice to see my-a ragazza happy," I said with a smile on my face. I put on my graduation cap careful not to touch my curl.

"It's nice to see that I'm still with you even after everything. Thank you, Lovino," Belgium said. I smiled and held her hand. "And it's nice that I'll still-a be with you," I said. Belgium nodded. We took our seats as I took mine next to Italy and Belgium. When they mentioned my name, Belgium cheered. I looked at her and gave a thumbs up. Vice versa what she got up.

When the boring graduation ceremony was over, there was a graduation party at England's repaired house. America had promised England that he would stop breaking his stuff. England was more than happy but he said he would arrest America if he did break his stuff. Well, last time America threw his tea in the toilet (Boston Tea Party).

I went to the party with Belgium. Not just that but I planned something. "I got to go to the-a bathroom, real-a quick," I said and left my glass of punch on the counter. "Oh okay," Belgium said as I left.

"Antonio did you bring it?" I asked him. Spain nodded and handed me a guitar. I put the guitar strap around me and asked Seychelles to announce something. "Awe how sweet! Okay, go get her Romeo!" Seychelles exclaimed.

"Okay listen up graduates! Lovino has a song to sing!" Seychelles exclaimed. I inhaled deeply and sat on a chair in the front. There I put a piece of paper in front of me on a stand and had a microphone as well. "B-Bonjornio you know-a me. Well, I had a little bit of-a help from-a Kiku. And I'm a bit-a rusty. Here goes nothing," I said and started playing.

"It's called Self-Inflicted Achromatic," I announced.

I had played the opening on the guitar as I read the lyrics on the stand and started singing while playing the guitar.

I want to be a person just like you, don't you see?
I want to be a person who is still being "me"
It really would be nice but I'm paying a price
'Cause I'd really, not be me and that would not suffice

A dream which is an easy task I won't deny
But it'd be fine if people just like me would go and die

If I am this way I would never want to stay
Tens of thousands of people would be sad and cry
No one here wanting me, please don't say you don't agree
Wishing for a world hiding from my seeking eye

If I am this way please just wipe me into gray
Hundreds of millions of people would be glad and shine
No one here hating me, that would be so nice to see
But that kind of joy will never intertwine

Tomorrow I will still be dreaming half awake
And I am hoping I can disappear in such a state

If I'd live this way I would never want to stay
Hundreds of millions of people wouldn't even know
No one here wanting me, please don't say you don't agree
Would a world like that be a "yes" or be a "no"?

If I'd live this way and you'd wipe me into gray
Hundreds of millions of people wouldn't change at all
No one would hate on me, that would be so nice to see
Nothing would change 'cause I am losing where I fall

In the end, I know that everyone will be broken in similar ways
And "My Self" that's made in everyone crumbles because we are just a disgrace
In the end, I know that everyone will be scattered in similar ways

If I am this way I would never want to stay
Tell me, 'cause I wanna know just why you smile so much?
Really, when you are smiling like that
I will forget all the time I am sad
And these too, all my reasons for saying good-bye
They just failed me and now I am falling to cry

If I'd live this way and you'd wipe me into gray
Hundreds of millions of people wouldn't change at all
With something stopping me, maybe that's my chance to flee?
You facing me I cannot smile but just move on

I ended the song with a bit of guitar melody then I ended it. I spotted Belgium sitting at the table with her and Netherlands. She gave a standing ovation and was the first one to clap. Italy was next waving his white flag in the air. Other countries soon joined in the applause.

I bowed and walked away. I returned the guitar back to Spain and sat with Belgium at the table then took a sip of punch. "I liked your song! It had a deep meaning. Which made it amazing," Belgium said. Netherlands just nodded with a modest look on her face. There was a long awkward silence before Netherlands butted in.

"Well, are you two going to kiss or not?"

My eyes widened as Belgium blushed and looked at her shows awkwardly. "Well, he-a approves," I said and smiled. I kissed Belgium right at the spot. "Ohohohohon," I heard France say. I pulled away from the kids but I locked myself in her gaze. "I-a love you ragazza," I said. Belgium sheepishly grinned.
"I love you to," Belgium said.

"But do you love me?" We asked at the same time. I nodded and she did the same.

It's just me and her. We're still together. Even through everything...
