It surprised you, how well the mask fit on your face. It was almost as if...it had been MADE for you! You loved the way it accommodated your cheekbones, when you smiled, and the way it didn't feel too heavy, or too light, but just right.
Peering into the mirror, you smiled. This mask was your perfect ticket to freedom.

Opulence. The sheer opulence.
That was the first thing to hit you. Before, you had helped decorate these ballrooms, for the balls, but now – seeing them in all their glory had you dumbfounded for a moment. You were merely a simple, middle-class girl, but when your distant (and much wealthier) cousin had come to you for help, asking you to masquerade as her for a ball, you couldn't decline. She had wanted to spend the night "somewhere else"...with her lover, you presumed, and, well...this would be the closest you'd ever get to the higher echelons of society, anyway.
"Vuoi ballare?" The words had caught you off-guard, and you were almost about to curtsy, but then you suddenly remembered that you were no more just a commoner, but had managed to enter a masquerade ball meant for the elite! Turning around, you saw...only a man in a mask. His mask wasn't ornate – in fact, it was more on the plain side, but it was made tastefully, and you found yourself following the intricate details with your eyes. It wasn't until he held his hand out further, that you fully realised what he had been asking you.
"S-Sì," you replied, nodding, letting the brown-haired boy take your hand, and lead you to the dance floor.
His steps weren't hard to follow, but nonetheless were graceful, elegant and lithe. You found yourself enjoying this very much – it wasn't often that you met with someone who could dance so well, and with such grace.
"I don't think I've seen you around here before, bella" he spoke, all of a sudden.
"How would you know?" you smiled, as you replied. "We're all wearing masks, after all."
"Sì, but...you dance so well – I wouldn't forget someone who dances so beautifully."
This... was insane – how did he manage to make you blush, without even seeing you?
"G-Grazie, signore," you stumbled somewhat with your reply.
The man who you danced with laughed – a light, merry laugh – as the music came to an end.
"Signorina, could I have the next dance, too?" The stranger leant in closer, and you could feel the heat radiating off your cheeks, as he whispered into your ear. You found yourself nodding.
"Actually..." he paused, for a moment. "You look tired, bella – why don't you rest, and we can talk? I'd love to know more about you!"
You couldn't help but smile at this man's frankness, and honesty, and you really felt that he meant no harm.
"Why not?" You found yourself replying – a bold answer for a woman.
"Bene! If you go down the third door on the right, there's a corridor there – I'll meet you there, d'accordo?"
Peering into the mirror, you smiled. This mask was your perfect ticket to freedom.

Unpredictable [N. Italy X Reader]
~~~~
You were sitting in the grass near the track, watching Italy, Germany, and Japan run laps. When Italy noticed you there when they started training that day, he blushed lightly and payed full attention to Germany, obviously trying not to notice you. By this time there was a cat sitting with you as they ran. Finally, as they all finished their laps, Italy let himself collaps into the dirt dramatically. "Feliciano!! I have some pasta~!!" you say, laying on your back in the grass. "Pasta?!" he jumps up and runs to you. "Not really. But I can take you to eat some pasta." you suggest, giggling. "Okay!! It's time for lunch anyway!!" he says ex

Romano x Reader
A/N: (e/c)= eye color (h/c)= hair color. Sorry for any spelling. Enjoy~
Work, work, work, type, type that's all you would to do at your oh so boring job. You worked at a gun shop as a secretary who would keep files on people who bought which gun and what model number it was and you answered the phones too. Sure you worked with a bunch of guys but they were like family to you. The only thing who hated about your job was that women were discriminated so men who walked in would give you dirty looks. That was the main reason who kept two evil eye bracelets (1).
Ring the door opened and a man with chocolate brown hair came in. Yo

Spain x Reader
You glared at the manga in front of you, sneaking peeks at the boy across from the room. You slammed down the copy, groaning, and hit your head on the lunch table.
"Hey!" Your friend, Megan, poked your back. She had moved your plate at exactly the right time, and it was because of her quick thinking that you didn't have food all over your face. "Still can't stop thinking about my uncle?" She guessed.
"Hey! No talking about that here!!" You cried, looking up at her with a purple bruise on your forehead.
"Oh psh, it's not like anyone can hear me."
"Yes they can, Megan!!"
"Here, I'll prove it; HEY EVERYONE!!" She yelled standing. "I'M AN AL

This was supposed to be a one shot - ended up being two parts, as I'm tired OTL.
But, I hope to finish this tomorrow, once I'm back from school!
Yay for masquerade balls, and Feliciano! He's just too cute, seriously! I love this guy!
As for the setting - it's somewhat mid-1800s, I think, but it's a party with a Renaissance feel to it. Very, very grand, opulent, and just...beautiful!
