Spain X Bullied! Reader - Crush

End

Hello again! Finally, the end of this series has come and I can post some others in its place! Recently I haven't been writing as much due to lack of ideas and also I spent the whole of last night reading The Danish Slaughterhouse, which is a really awesome (but dark) Hetalia fanfic, I don't think I'll ever see Denmark the same way again XD
But anyway, hope you enjoy this part, and I'm sorry if there is any mistakes.

After a couple of days, (F/N) finally went back to school. It took a while of convincing from Antonio and her mother, but in the end, she gained enough confidence to go back. She'd also started smiling again and she and Antonio were back to eating lunch together every day again.

At first, a lot of people stared when she first arrived at school, especially the two girls who caused her to leave in the first place. But they kept their distance, and they didn't even talk to Antonio anymore, though he wouldn't tell (F/N) why. He'd, at some point, made a visit to the head master's office and explained everything, using his class teacher as evidence for the whole situation. Phone calls were made; the two girls now had a months worth of detentions and were left to clean up the lunch hall after lunch. They'd certainly gotten some part of what they deserved, though Antonio often wished they'd been expelled and out of his life.

Things between Antonio and (F/N) were relatively normal, even after his confession at her house a few days back. She still acted as flustered and blushed around him. Especially when he would just randomly hug her and squeal about how cute she was, which had become a habit of his now, not that (F/N) minded. But considering that, they still weren't dating, not technically. He'd never asked her, but he did plan to.

They were eating together in the cafeteria, just the two of them since Francis and Gilbert had gotten detention for messing about in class too much. (F/N) couldn't help but feel like everyone was glaring at her and Antonio since it was just those two on the table that had lots more seats. They looked just like a couple and she could tell people were jealous of that. She gazed around uncomfortably, her food left untouched.

"(F/N)? Are you okay?" Antonio's voice snapped her back to reality and she looked up to meet his worried gaze.

"A-Ah, sorry! I'm fine!" She said, unfortunately, it didn't look or sound believable. Antonio frowned.

"Are you sure? You haven't touched your food. You can tell me." He urged her, his emerald gaze boring into (F/N). She let out a small sigh.

"I-It's just, it feels like everyone's staring at us..." She felt like she could hear the whispers of the envious girls. She lowered her head as she remembered of when they cornered her in the hallway. It didn't happen to long ago and the memory was almost still fresh in her mind. She felt a hand pat her head from across the table and she lifted her gaze to meet Antonio. Although he was smiling kindly, his eyes looked completely serious.

"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you again." His green eyes flickered with sadness for a second. "I won't make the same mistake twice." (F/N) smiled back at him the best she could so he wouldn't hold onto his feeling of guilt for too long.

"Thank you Toni." She smiled genuinely this time and received a smile back. After a short while of silence, Antonio picked up one of (F/N)'s sandwiches she had with her and held it out to her with a grin.

"Now you have to eat something! I don't want you starving here!" He pushed it towards her. "Say 'Ah!'" (F/N)'s cheeks flushed red and she averted her gaze.

"I-I can feed myself!" She stuttered.

"I know, but I want to feed you!" Antonio replied, still holding out the sandwich to her. (F/N) felt her whole face heat up as she slowly turned her face back towards him and opened her mouth to take a bite out of the food. But, once she'd swallowed and saw the grin on Antonio's face, she couldn't help but shyly smile back.

"Hey (F/N)? Do you want to go somewhere more quiet?" Antonio asked. (F/N) blushed slightly but she nodded her head.

"Sure, I don't mind." And so the two of them made their way out towards the back of the school where there was a hill and a few trees and green bushes. The sun was shining warmly and the birds in the trees sang joyfully. (F/N) and Antonio continued to eat their lunch and chat with each other, enjoying the peacefulness of the nature surrounding them.

Halfway through eating the rest of her lunch and without warning, (F/N) felt a warm pair of arms wrap around her, those arms obviously belonging to Antonio. She felt her face heat up red and she dropped her remaining sandwich back onto its packaging. Antonio giggled slightly.

"Hey (F/N)?" He said.

"Y-Yeah?" She stuttered in return. She felt him rest his chin on her head as he sat behind her.

"I love you a lot, I'm glad you came back to school." He smiled and pulled away from the hug. (F/N) tilted her head around, trying to think of something to say, but she could think of nothing. Instead, Antonio brought his face closer and closer to (F/N)'s until the gap was closed and a soft pair of lips hit hers. (F/N) felt her face turn as red as a tomato, but relaxed and kissed him back. Soon both of them needed to catch their breath and pulled away.

"Te amo. Will you, (F/N), go out with me?" He said sweetly with a smile to boot. (F/N) blushed yet again, but gave him the brightest and widest smile she could muster.

"Yes! I'd love to!" She laughed. Antonio quickly hugged her tightly, until the sound of clapping was heard. Both of them turned their heads to the side to see Francis and Gilbert stood there clapping. Though their detention should still be in session, they still managed to make it and spy on their two other friends.

"You finally asked the Frau out!" Gilbert said with a smirk.

"Ohononon~ You two make a great couple, I'm jealous." Francis giggled. Antonio just laughed in return while (F/N) sat there as red as a tomato. The rest of lunch was spent eating together with her new boyfriend and his friends.

She didn't need to worry anymore. Not about bullies, or making friends. She had friends now. But most importantly..

She had Antonio by her side. Now he wasn't just her crush anymore. No, he was much more than that.

I'm glad I can finally finish this! Thank you for sticking with me and reading this fan fiction! I'll see you in the next one!

Oh and just in case some of you didn't see the question I asked on my last update, which Hetalia character do you think is most likely to be a scientist? Thanks!
