Rome x Reader: The memory wall

  (Y/n)'s P.O.V

     I let out a sigh as I finished off my paper work, but this was not a sigh of relief. It was a sad sigh. For the past few hours that I have been working on my paperwork I could not get my mind off of all my friends, the ones that have passed and the ones that are still here. Mostly the ones that have passed though. I am the country of (C/n), second oldest country that still exists. China is probably older than me by about three hundred years. Which isn't all that long when you've lived as long as China and I. China and I were both adults around the same time as the other ancients, but sadly they all passed away, leaving me and China alone. Well not completely alone, China has his family and I have my friends I suppose. But my friends are all children or grandchildren of the ancients, which just reminds me of my passed friends even more.

     I got up from my comfortable office chair and stretched, hearing a satisfying crack. I walked out of my office and toward a destination that one would not expect me to go. Instead of going to my room to finally get some sleep at this ungodly hour of the morning I went to my library. Not like I was going to read any of the books in there, I'd read all of them already. I walked to the farthest wall from the entrance and pulled the green book out of the middle row of the middle bookcase. The bookcases moved out of the way and exposed a whole different, secret room. I entered the room and pushed to button to close the door. I walked up to the wall directly across from me and looked at it from side to side and up and down. The entire wall filled with photographs and drawings. Some were new, some were as old or older than the ancients themselves, the drawings that is.

     My eyes landed on a certain sketch that was of one of my closest friends, maybe even the man I loved and still love. The sketch was of Romulus Vargas, or the Roman Empire. I had drawn the sketch on one of the nice days back then. I had been sitting in a field watching all of my friends have their fun. I had been sitting off to the side of all the excitement, although I could still clearly hear their voices. I had taken out my paper and writing utensil and drawn a ruff, but accurate and good sketch of Rome, he had been quarreling with Carthage at the time. I let out a sad sigh and ran my fingers over the old sketch, I had cast a spell over it to preserve it. So it's still in great condition.

     "Hello again Bella*, I heard that you've been missing me." A voice said from behind me. I whipped around and placed my hand on my gun that was resting in its holster. But quickly removed my hand from it and moved my hand up to my mouth. Standing in the doorway was Romulus Vargas himself. I don't know how it was possible, but it was. I got over my shock and ran over to him, wrapping my arms around him in a hug. He hadn't changed one bit since the last time I saw him, which was shortly before the fall of his empire. Romulus wrapped his arms around me as well and rested his head on mine. "I've missed you Rome." I said quietly, almost so quiet that one could not hear what was said. "I've missed you too." Romulus said just as quietly.

     He lightly patted my back and I winced. Recently a few younger countries declared war on me, I can feel myself getting weaker as I lose. My time is growing nearer and nearer as the days pass. And then it dawned upon me why Rome was here. He was here to take me back to heaven or the safe haven that all nations go to, before I fall in war. I know he doesn't want that to happen to me like it did him. Rome doesn't want me to go through that pain. "I know why you're here Romulus." I said quietly, but a bit louder than last time I spoke. He chuckled a bit and laid a kiss on the crown of my head. "You always were a quick one." He said, and without even looking at his face I knew he was frowning. It's obvious he doesn't want it to be my time yet, that would mean I'm dying. But it happens to everyone, it's just the way life is. It's beautiful, but cruel.

     "Don't worry or feel bad, I'm ready to go. I'm tired of feeling sad down here, and feeling all this pain of being a nation. I've been around long enough, and I believe it's time for me to make way for new countries to form." I said, lightly drawing patterns with my fingers on Rome's chest. "Alright, but before we go back. I have something I'd like to tell you." Rome said, tracing his own patter on my back. "And what would that be?" I asked, looking up from his chest and into his caramel eyes. "It would be that I love you. I always have." He said, not even a hint of nervousness in his voice or face. "I love you too Romulus." I said before leaning up for a my one and only first kiss. After all this time I'd never had my first kiss, but better late than never I suppose. The kiss was soft and sweet, nothing about it was lustful or rough. And after we pulled away we made our way back to our home with the other passed nations.

     Okay guys, I don't know what is up with my writing style for this one but it feels different some how. And I do but don't like it. Oh gods help me. I swear I don't know what is wrong with me. Also I'm so sorry that this took so long to be updated. I'll be honest with you I've been busy with updating two other books I have. One of the being a Kid n Teenagers oneshot book. And the other one which is newer, just posted today in fact, being a Heroes of Olympus child reader oneshot book. So that also means if you like either of those things I'd be very grateful and happy if you checked them out and told me what you think. And if you've never heard of those things I greatly encourage you to read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I also greatly encourage you to read the Kid n Teenagers comics, which you can find on Z-t00n's page on Tumblr. I'll even provide a link below for her comics. Well that's all I have to say.
