Olympia: A Hetalia Fanfic

Chapter 18

A/N

I don't know where I'm really going with this... I'm surprised I actually got this far at all. I was going to just end it a while back...

No one is giving me any response to this, so I don't have many ideas...

But OMG 132 READS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM. I didn't think I was getting anywhere close to 100, let alone past it...

Thank you all so much for reading. If there's a chapter you want me to dedicate to a certain country or sport (like my curling) let me know. I'll gladly do it.

Hasta la Pasta~~~!

I'm not allowed to compete. They didn't want to risk my falling on my wrist again and completely hurting myself.

It's over. It's over... My career... It's...

"Fiore...?"

I looked up and saw Feliciano sitting next to me, frowning.

"Hey, Feli..." I sighed, leaning back.

"I'm-a sorry..." Feliciano gave me a hug, sounding more upset than me.

"Me too. I'll have to retire at 15. Ain't that sad...?" I pulled my legs up and tucked them under me, my elbows resting on my knees.

Feliciano, for the first time in his life, had nothing to say. He fell silent and stared at the ground.

"You win gold for the both of us, sí?" I smiled.

Feliciano brightened a bit. "Sí!"

I stood up and ruffled his hair. "Molto bene."

"Where are you-a going?"

"To find someone."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't skate anymore. It's over."

"What??"

"You heard me right."

"But you can still come back next year, aru."

"......."

"Fiore?"

"....I don't think I want to."

A sigh came from the other end of the phone call. "Why?"

"It's not very fun anymore."

"So you're going to quit, aru?"

"My heart's not in it anymore. To be honest I only started skating when I was younger was because of Romeo."

"....Fiore?"

"Sí?"

"Why did you call, aru?"

"Because-"

"Why did you call me, aru? Why not Arthur, aru?"

"......"

"Can we not argue about this now?"

"Of course. I'm sorry, aru. I hope you figure things out"

"Thank you."

"I have to go, aru. Goodbye."

"Bye."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I clicked the end button on my phone and shoved it into my pocket, my head aching.

All I wanted to do was sleep. So far today hadn't been going so well. I don't know what's up with Yao, Arthur is probably pouting somewhere, I told I can't compete anymore, Romeo is disappointed, even if he doesn't say it, and it's that wonderful time of the month where chocolate is the only thing that makes you happy.

I sighed. I'm a mess right now.

"Hey! You look sad!"

I looked up and saw a tall, blond guy grinning at me.

"Maybe a little..."

The guy nodded. "Yup. I know who you are."

"You do?" I tilted my head to the side.

"Yeah! Arthur has a huuuuuuuuuuuge crush on you! It's kinda weird. That guy doesn't like anyone. So you dating now or what? I saw him just now and he looked sad too. Did you break up-?"

I silenced the guy with a look. "No we didn't. Things just happened. I was going to go talk to him now, actually."

The blond guy pushed his glasses up to keep them from falling off his nose. "Oooooor you could come curling with me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Curling!! My brother Matthew does it and he wanted me to play a family match or some shit like that. We could have a pretty girl on our team!"

I raised my eyebrows.

"Pleeeeeaaaaaase?" He whined.

"Fine fine. But I don't know your name."

"Alfred!"

"Nice to meet you Alfred."

"You too! Come on!" He grabbed my good wrist and dragged me away. I can't catch a break today...
