Just a Misunderstanding [Italy x Reader]

Oh how it made your heart burn with rage, seeing him so… happy. He smiled and laughed as if nothing ever happened. Thinking back, you remembered how perfect your relationship had been. It was you he always held. Your name he used to whisper in your ear, in a way that sent shivers down your spine. His soft lips upon yours, fitting together like two puzzle pieces.

And there he was, one week after the big break up, smiling down at a gorgeous woman. It should be you…

You vowed you’ll make him pay…. Feliciano Vargas will regret the day he lost you. Dark thoughts plagued your mind. But no matter what came to your mind, you couldn’t bear to physically hurt your ex-lover. A part of you still had feelings for the Italian. So you found yourself staring at his face, hoping a final glimpse at his beautiful golden brown eyes will help you move on.

That’s when he felt your longing gaze, and opened his eyes. They appeared to be filled with shock and guilt. Luckily, his new girlfriend didn’t notice what was going on. With a frown on your face, you got up from your spot, and began walking down the street. Tears stung your eyes, but your stubbornness and pride prevented you from revealing a softer side.

As you brushed past the townspeople, you heard a voice calling out to you, wanting you to slow down and wait. You glanced back over your shoulders to see your former boyfriend trying to catch his breath as he repeatedly called your name. The way he said it in his accent made you heart flutter slightly. It angered you to no end that he could still make you feel this way.

You broke into a sprint, trying to lose Feliciano in the crowded streets of Italy. His voice began sounding faint, so you were getting some distance between the two of you. But just to be safe, you dashed down a nearby alley. You leaned against the cool brick wall, panting loudly. You decided to use this time to rest a bit before carefully returning home.

Glancing at your current surroundings, you thought about what route would be the most discreet and quick.

As if on cue, you heard an oh so familiar voice. You didn’t take the time to see where he was, you just ran as fast as your legs could let you, wanting to get far away. Little did you realize that you just ran into the man you tried to run from, who made the wise move of trapping you in a warm and tight embrace. You squirmed a bit, but you already used up your energy. You stopped moving, since he began murmuring something in his native tongue. Your eyes, full of confusion, met his once again.

Clearing his throat, he spoke again, but in English this time. “Don’t run anymore. Please.” He begged quietly, bringing a hand up to stroke your hair.

“Let me go,” you hissed. “And go back to your lady friend.”

“Who was it?” Feliciano asked suddenly, ignoring your words completely. You stared at him dumbfounded, urging him to go on. “Who… were you cheating on me with?” He rephrased his question a bit softer this time.

Cheating on him? “What are you even talking about?”

His response caught you off guard.

“Don’t you lie to me.” He nearly yelled, holding you away from his body. You noticed the tears that threatened to slide down his face. The sight brought tears back to your own eyes.

“Feliciano Vargas, I never cheated on you, not once.” You said in a hoarse whisper. He released you and turned around. He then slammed his fists on the wall, causing you to jump in surprise. Slowly, he turned to you, frowning.

“Mio fratello has no reason to lie to me,” He said calmly, pausing for a moment. “Lovino told me he saw you in public with another man, just over a week ago.”

You felt your blood run cold at the thought. In all honesty, you truly hadn’t seen another man..

Unless… Of course! That was it!

Felciano blinked in surprise as you began snicker, which slowly turned into loud laughter. Now you were crying from your little episode.

“What’s so funny?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at you. You wiped a tear from your eye and took a deep breath.

“He’s right; I was out with another man.” You told him. “But it’s not what you think-”

“But it is. You just admitted to cheating on me.”

You held a hand up to silence the brunette. “Let me finish. That man I was with? That was my brother.”

“…So you cheated on me with a relative?” Feliciano nearly sobbed, which made you chuckle.

“No silly, he was visiting me that day. I thought I told you about it?” You were certain you did. Not a doubt in your mind told you otherwise.

“… Oh. Um… mi amor?” He started, rubbing the back of his head. The sheepish look on his face nearly sent you into another giggling fit. But hearing him call you that kept you nice and sane.

“Well… will you ever forgive me?” He asked with a nervous laugh, lowering his hand.

You pursed your lips and thought for a bit, causing a certain somebody to pout. You giggled at his expression and nodded. “Yeah, I suppose I could forgi-” You were cut off by a pair of lips crashing onto yours. During this passionate kiss, his arms went around your waist while yours went around his neck.

After what seemed like forever, he pulled away with a playful smile on his face. He leaned in again, but this time he got close enough where your nose and forehead touched his own.

“Bene.” Was all he said, after letting out a happy sigh.

It wasn’t until the two of you walked out of the alley, hand in hand, that you remembered something.

“Feliciano, what about that woman you were with?”

“Oh! She was upset about losing her job, so I cheered her up!” He said proudly.

What a relief that was…
