RomanoxReader: Memories of Summer

RomanoxReader: Memories of Summer

    Rain harshly berated the windows of your small, frigid apartment, and thunder rolled ominously outside. You shook quietly as the thunder claps continued to increase in frequency and volume, the storm filling you with a sense of unease. You wrapped your (f/c) blanket tighter around your shoulder as you watched the lightning outside the window strike the darkened earth below, a violent flash of white light illuminating the world for a moment.

    You could feel the humid air outside slipping into your small home from the crack underneath the door, and from the window that was permanently jammed slightly open. A candle on your bar flickered in an unfelt wind, and you found yourself staring at its dancing flame, entranced by the beauty and warmth it seemed to fill you with. The fire reminded you of warmer seasons than this; Spring was honestly your least favorite season. Summer was much more preferable.

    You smiled slightly at the thought of Summer; warm yellow sunlight coating your skin, a blazingly bright blue sky, your boyfriend’s tan skin, which was as warm as gentle as the breeze on an Italian summer day.

     His eyes were the color of fresh, green olives, and they held the warmth and radiance of the sun as he smiled at you. You embraced him, nose burying in the crook of his neck and inhaling deeply. He always smelled earthy, like he had just come from outside, but there was also the smell of freshly ground tomatoes and pasta lingering just underneath the smell of the outside air.</i>

     Ever since you had met him, he’d smelled that way. It was honestly one of your favorite smells, and you suspected it was probably because it simply always made you think of Lovino.</i>

~*~*~*~

     He murmured sweet words to you, professing again and again how much he loved you, his words jumping between your language and his. His voice was usually harsh due to his shouting, much like the sound of sandpaper on rocks. But when his voice was quiet and gentle, much like it was now, it was like the sound of the ocean. Soft and alluring, relaxing and pulling you deeper into its grasp.</i>

~*~*~*~

     His kiss was passionate, raw and unyielding as he revealed his love to you. His lips burned like the sun against your own, but it was an intoxicating blaze, enticing you to melt into his harsh embrace and submit to almost overbearing heat. His hands were everywhere on your (s/c) skin, ghosting across your stomach to your breasts, giving them a long squeeze. 

     You arched into his touch with a moan as your hands tangled in his hair, which was tinted with gold as the summer sun set outside your bedroom. One of Lovino’s hands had snaked underneath you to press you tighter against him as his lips trailed from yours down your neck, nipping harshly at the sensitive skin there.

     Between every kiss, he murmured something different in Italian, your sex-hazed mind to muddled to pick up more than a few words as you his name tumbled from your lips in mewls and pleas for more of his intoxicating touch.

~*~*~*~

    You jumped in surprise when the door to your apartment slammed open, yanked from your thoughts and blushing slightly as the memories remained in your mind for a moment more.

    A soaking wet Lovino shoved the door closed, struggling against the humid wind that tore through the apartment as soon as he’d entered. With a final curse, he managed to slam it shut and lean against it, his back to you.

    You rose quietly from your seat on the lounge chair and padded across the living room to where Lovino leaned against the door, muttering curses at the horrific weather outside. You smiled and gently wrapped your arms around his slender waist. Lovi tensed at your tender embrace for a moment before relaxing and turning in your grip, a lopsided grin on his lips and olive green eyes glinting with mischief.

    “Ciao, bella, (name).” He said, locking his arms around you and placing a kiss on your forehead. “Sorry, it took so long this fucking weather is atrocious.”
