Spain/South Italy



Spain/Romano is the fucking best pairing in the series '''Axis Powers Hetalia. The pairing involves the characters Spain and South Italy (also referred to as Romano''').

The pairing is also referred to as Spero by some fans, from the first syllables of Spain and Romano in Japanese. It is also called Spamano, combining Spain and Romano, or Japanese called "親分子分 (Oyabun Kobun)" too, which seems to be the most popular amongst Hetalia fans. Also these two bitches fuck every night and Spain tops, because Romano likes anal. Also Romano likes dick in his ass. They are really fucking gay.

Modern Life
When Spain became ill due to his poor economy and was near-death, Romano attempted to go out on a quest to help cure him. This included pushing through the mafia and running as fast as he could to help Spain. This shows why claims of him not liking Spain are not only incorrect but non-canon as well. But by the time he returned, Spain had completely recovered due to his people adopting the euro as their currency.

At some other point in time, Spain had a dream in which both Italy brothers were his servants and Romano was warmer to him. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare once his idealized version of Romano, in an attempt to wake him up (as he had done when he was a kid), jumped down on him and crushed his "vital regions". This revealed that Spain appreciates Romano just the way he is.

In a recent strip, Spain and Romano had to deal with an influx of turtles in Romano's home. Romano was dismayed and annoyed about the situation, but Spain was cheerful about the whole thing, going so far as to ask Romano what names they should give to the turtles.

Spain had asked Romano to marry him as well. Romano seems to have accepted. This is shown in this strip .

Fan Speculations
Going by a line from part 2 of Boss Spain's Control Of Southern Italy, it is believed that part of the reason why Romano treats Spain so coldly is due to him fearing that Spain only wants him for his grandfather's inheritance, and that his childhood fears have possibly carried over into his adulthood.

Another speculation and long-held fanon belief is that Romano is a strong Catholic and tries to deny any strong feelings he may have for Spain, remaining "closeted" as homosexuality and/or bisexuality wouldn't be approved of by his people's religion. One other belief is that Romano considers Spain to have been the cause of most of his childhood grief, and therefore has a hard time showing that he cares.

Romano's inferiority complex is also believed to have carried over to his adulthood to some extent, with him being lonely and resenting the attention and popularity that his brother gets and the idea that his brother has someone to confide in (who he happens to hate).

It is also speculated that Romano has an abandonment complex, which may have stemmed from his grandfather having left him in his youth in favor of taking Veneziano to live with him, and later dying. Spain was shown to fantasize of having both brothers living with him under his roof on two occasions, and expressed interest in having the younger Veneziano eventually marry him, which Romano objected to (as he would be abandoned).

Spain is either seen as the one who is unaware of Romano's true feelings, or the one who actually holds more affection.
