((OOC: Open to anyone who wants to join. No more than one or two other people please!))
Another school year had begun and Spain knew it was another year of homework, tests, essays and getting up early. Luckily for him, this particular day was over and he could now enjoy the walk home. It was another awesome spring day and days like this (preferably warmer, he noted) were perfect!
No matter how much he enjoyed his walks home, Spain was cursed and destined to forever be the laziest person in the entire world. So even though everyone knew that Groundskeeper Willy kept his sports fields PERFECTLY groomed and didn't like anyone on them when there wasn't a game going on, Spain decided that he was above the rules and that it would be just fine and peachy keen for him to cut through. However, first he would have to scale that wire fence (no problem for El Jefe!)
First, he tossed his backpack over and then, using his momentum from a short running start, he took one hop to the top of the fence and stood there. LIKE A BOSS.
...like a boss...who was falling? In what seemed like a second that lasted forever, the fence came toppling over. Spain watched and winced as the fence continued to crumble all the way around the field.
Groundskeeper Willy wasn't going to like this. And more importantly, how much weight had Spain gained over the break?!

Romano was peacefully strolling by the sports fields, enjoying the warmer weather and trying his very utmost best to not think about the actual school. As he had learned last year, he actually wasn't very good at any topics that nations supposedly needed to be good at. Like economics, or war, or... anything but agriculture and tourism, at the root of it. Things were not looking good for him. (At least the fucking muffins weren't around right now to make things worse.)
... Wait, he was supposed to be not thinking about that!! DAMMIT! He kicked at a pebble, which flew forward and bounced off the field's fence.
And then the whole thing collapsed.
Yelling in shock, he lept back as he watched the entire thing fold over like a chain of dominoes, struck into silence. What the fuck?! This wasn't his fault, was it?!
... Maybe if he walked away very quickly, no one would notice.
But then he saw someone standing in the distance, and with closer inspection, his eyes narrowed. Spain!! Yes, it was obviously that bastard's fault!! Right? Right?!
"Spain, goddammit!!" he called out, though with just a bit of nervousness. He was pretty much bluffing blindly right now and hoping that he was right. "Why the hell did you do that?!"

Spain sat wide-eyed, still staring at the fence all around him. He contemplated getting out of there as quick as possible because no one wanted to deal with Groundskeeper Willy once he got angry. That's when the shirt came off and heads started rolling. Though Spain's scent was already on the fence and the groundskeeper would end up finding out anyway. He was doomed.
With his spirits low with the thoughts of impending death, he hung his head low. Suddenly, he was brought back up by a nearby voice. His first instinct was that it was Groundskeeper Willy catching him in the act!! However, his worries were dashed when he was faced with the most nonthreatening person he knew!
"Romano~" his face went from worried to stupidly smiling in one second flat. Then, after a minute, he realized that Romano had seen him knock over an entire fence so his face went back to worried (except not it was a combination of worried and stupidly smiling so it came out to be more stupid worried). "You saw that?!"

Romano would look worried too! But he was most obviously innocent! Because there was no way a small pebble could knock over an entire fence! No, he was not worried. That would be ridiculous. Not to mention, Spain just confessed to the crime!! Romano was quite clearly free from the murderous grasps of Groundskeeper Willy (and no one wanted to deal with an angry Groundskeeper Willy). That would just mean that the Spaniard could nobly sacrifice himself for a friend's sake! And be useful for once in his life!
"Of course I saw that!!" he snapped back, storming over so that he stood in front of Spain, arms crossed. Giving him an accusatory look, Romano revealed, "You knocked over the fuckin' fence, dumbass! Willy's gonna bury you alive, y'know that?!"
With some quick thinking and a dramatic sigh, Romano mournfully pondered, "If only you had someone to help you hide the evidence! Too bad I have to...." He paused, wracking his brain for something intelligent. "... fish in the pond for lunch."
... Well, Spain was pretty stupid anyways!! And hopefully, he would come to the conclusion that Romano needed someone to pay for his lunch because he was pretty damn flat-out broke at the moment.

Spain was currently too preoccupied by the phrase 'bury you alive' to think about buying lunch for anyone, honestly. Though Romano had a great idea when he suggested hiding the evidence! All Spain had to do was hide the fence and--
Wait, how does one go about hiding an entire fence that stretched all the way around the field? Would the woods be big enough to drag the fence into for now? How heavy is a fence anyway? Did Romano have another great idea when he used the word 'bury'? Burying a fence was definitely not a one-country job.
"You'll help me, Romano? After all, you are my loving underclassman and would do anything for me, right?" he asked, smiling pathetically. It wasn't lunchtime anyway and surely Romano could go fishing later. He gripped Romano's hands and looked hopefully into his eyes. "The fish will wait!"

"What the hell, you asshole?" Romano replied, his tone blatantly asking Spain if he was actually serious. He huffed, because dammit, it wasn't as if the fuckin' Spaniard was low in money! He could pay for one meal, right?? The dumbass. There were no damn fish. How the hell could the fish wait for him if they didn't exist?!
"You can't just ask me for services and not pay, you fucker!" he snapped, whacking Spain in the arm. "I'll help, dammit, only because I don't wanna get blamed by association. You're buying me lunch after this."
He stood by the fence, inspecting it with a concentrated glare.
Then Romano snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, you go out into the street. And shout out, 'HEY MOTHERFUCKERS, I'M THE GODDAMN COUNTRY OF SPAIN. SERVE ME OR I'LL LEGALIZE YOUR GAY MARRIAGES, BITCHES.' And once they agree, and they'll have to fuckin' agree 'cause this is America and he's fuckin' weird, you can get them to move this for you!" Though gay marriage is already legal in Massachusetts. But Romano didn't know that.
"It's goddamn brilliant," Romano stated smugly. "You better buy me a real good lunch."

Romano was so cute when he tried to think! It was not every day Spain got to see Romano's brain in action and it was such a privilege to get to witness it today especially since he was using it for him! However, after hearing Romano's idea, it was clear his brain hadn't gotten exercise in quite a while and it was out of shape!
"You get an A for effort, Romano!" he said, trying as hard as he could to hold back his audible 'buhyoo~'. The idea also required too much work and Spain would rather not lift a finger too much. Especially so close to siesta time.
He gave Romano a pat on the head for doing such a good job and cursed the fact that he didn't bring any Scooby Snacks to reward him with. However, as adorable as Romano's thinking face was, his ~smug~ face could outcute the thinking face any day. Spain needed to capture this moment forever and scrapbook it in his 'Precious Faces' book. He pulled out his camera and held it up, snapping a picture before Romano could react.
"Say 'gay marriage', Romano~"

.......... dammit!! No one appreciated his unadulterated genius!!
"W-What the hell, Spain?!" he replied instead, eyes blinking from the camera's flash. With lots of first-hand experience, Romano could tell when he was being undermined. This was one of those times. "It's a fuckin' amazing idea!! What's the point of being a country if you can't even assert your authority, dammit?!"
Well, fine. Groundskeeper Willy could come out and cook Spain up in a stew of anger for all he cared. It would show him for not listening!! Spain would regret this.
"You still owe me lunch," Romano reminded irritably. Because if he had to go through all that trouble for thinking up such a plan, he might as well get something for it. And he was really hungry, anyways.

Spain lovingly put his camera away and smiled at Romano. "I didn't say it was a bad idea!" he defended. Wait, had he said it was a bad idea? Did he even say anything about his idea at all? Honestly, Spain forgot what they were talking about once Romano continued the conversation and brought up lunch.
He stupidly stepped up on top of the fallen fence and began walking along it. "I owe you lunch?" he wondered. "Since when? Aren't I the upperclassman? Shouldn't you be buying me lu--?"
Spain's thoughts were interrupted. Maybe, if he bought lunch for Romano, he could get Romano to also invite Italy along too and then the three of them could have lunch together and get group married and it would be awesome! (Maybe Italy and Romano knew some cute kids that could come too! Spain enjoyed the laughter of young children and they could bring so much to a social event!)
In actuality, Spain had forgotten about the fence entirely despite the fact that he was walking on it.

Romano stared at Spain blankly as he walked along to the side of him, waiting for the idiot to finish his sentence.
But, judging by the dreamy glaze that had settled onto Spain's face, it looked like that wasn't going to happen any time soon. Probably daydreaming again. The dumbass.
... Romano really needed to get new friends.
"... Right. Yeah. You need to buy me lunch, dammit. I'm running out of money and as the upperclassman, you should be looking out for me, dammit!", he complained, trying to use the pity card. And no, he wasn't whining and taking advantage of Spain in any way!! Romano was just... making use of his resources.

...oh yeah! Spain had to remember to actually finish his sentences when he randomly zoned out whilst talking. It worked out anyway because now was a good chance to offer his brand new and most awesome idea. And really, if Romano had such a bad economy, then Spain could always help! He seemed in pretty good health for having a bad economy but maybe Romano was just strong and filled with hardcore vim and vigor.
"Hey," that was how Spain decided to enter into his offer. "I'll buy you and your brother lunch and show you just how good of an upperclassman I am!"
He jumped off the fence and it dug a small divot in the field. ...fortunately, it was the lacrosse field and not the soccer field or else Spain would have a bit of 'splainin' to do.

Romano scowled his best scowl at the offer. Dammit, why did everyone always want to hang out with his brother instead?! It was obvious that Spain was implying that he would only stay around if there was a chance that Feliciano could come too. Fucking idiot. (No, Romano didn't have esteem issues. That would imply weakness in character!!)
"Well, he's actually got money," he replied grumpily, digging his hands into his pockets. "Just goes around selling paintings and he's fine. The bastard."
Romano glanced idly at the fence, wondering if they should actually do something about it. "Can't you just buy me lunch? You missed my birthday anyways, idiot."

Did Romano assume that just because someone had money, they weren't entitled to a free lunch every now and then? After all, hadn't it been Italy's birthday as well? Maybe? Perhaps not? Spain actually had no idea.
Maybe Romano just didn't want to hang out with Italy. They probably see each other a lot and Spain would just have to have lunch with Italy without Romano there. Problem solved! In his head anyway. It's not like he had spoken to Italy at all.
"I got you a card!" Spain defended himself so that Romano couldn't use the birthday excuse. "You want a lunch for your birthday too?"

Except the card ended up being not so cute. Romano had been pretty disappointed. He had expected something completely motherfucking adorable. But Spain's sense of cute could be weird sometimes so he really shouldn't have been surprised.
"Sort of," he replied with a shrug. "Mostly because I'm hungry right now and I don't have any money on me." Which was a lie, but the money he did have was very small and for buying a recipe book sports magazine later!!
With a reluctant sort of huff, he finally decided, "Fine, I'll just owe you a favor if you pay for this. Dammit."

That card was adorable, Romano Alejandro Vargas. If Spain ever found out, he'd be devastated. Luckily, he can't read Romano's inner thoughts and he went about feeling ignorant to Romano's completely uncute unappreciativeness.
A favor? No one could ever accuse Spain of being the kind of guy to say no to a favor. The less work he had to do, the better! Maybe Romano could even be his cute servant! And he'd call Spain EL JEFE and it would be a dream come true.
"I'll do it!" he agreed, figuring a dinner was a small price to pay for a new servant. Not that Romano's servitude was a lifelong commitment, but Spain was far too excited with the concept of being Boss Spain to think about the details. Or even think about running this idea by Romano.
