Heeeeyyyy guys. I'm sorry this has taken so long. I'm behind on all of my fanfiction. Everything got so busy and...you know what? Summer's here! And I'm gonna do my best to update my stories a lot quicker! So enjoy the fourth Chapter of Time waits for no one!
Disclaimer: I do not own hetalia. But, I do own this plot! :P
So, here I was again, held in the arms of some stranger, being kidnapped. I really wasn't that surprised when I looked into my kidnapper's face and found it was Antonio again.
I sighed, took in a deep breath, and screamed.
He slapped a hand over my mouth.
"Shush little one, don't fear. I'm not going to hurt you." His warm breath caused the hair on the back of my neck to rise and I shivered involuntarily. I then nodded my head and he took his hand away. It wasn't like I was letting him win…I was just luring him into a false sense of security is all!
He carried me through the corridors, in some crazy rendition of someone being sneaky. Lifting his legs up high in complicated positions; crouching down low and trying to barrel roll while holding me. Putting his head down and nuzzling my hair with his nose, humming a song that I would later be informed was mission impossible. It was pretty ridiculous.
Maybe it's rude, but I love laughing at people. So soon it was my own hand covering my mouth, trying to stop the giggles from escaping. I failed, little bursts of laughter coming out, maybe it was the crushing loneliness I had been feeling lately. But, it felt good, laughing that is. I surely didn't feel good went he gave me that gleaming smile. Like, he had planned to make me happier with his dumb-ass shenanigans. Well I was laughing AT him, not for him. So HA.
Antonio tried to do a back flip while continuing to hold me, I yelped, and as expected we fell to the floor with a crash. Our racket must have alerted someone. Because that's when we heard a group of people running down the hallway to our left.
"Shit." Whispered Antonio, scrambling to his feet and picking me up, he began to run down the opposite hallway.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!"

Have you ever had your breath taken completely away? Your thought process shuts down and you can't move, you can't blink; your just there. Until that moment I had never truly felt that. That pressure, that breathlessness. The darkness, seeping in from the corners of my eyes.
One moment we were running, (well he was running) the next were in a broom cupboard. I froze as a hand covers both mine and Antonio's mouths respectively.
"Ne parlez pas!'' Came an urgent whisper from behind us. So, even though I had no idea what the guy had even said and I was really getting sick of this hand covering mouth business I shut-up. One because I was frozen in fear and two because I terrified. We listened hard for footsteps coming our way; they did. Swiftly, loudly, deadly, and then they were gone. The stranger behind us push a glowing green button and the door slid open. We walked out and Antonio turned around to thank the stranger.
"Francis?" Antonio whispered.
"Oui? " The stranger asked slyly. One of his perfectly sculpted eyebrows lifted up gracefully as he tilted his head to the side. He was disgustingly ga- flamboyant. Made me want to puke into Antonio's shirt. I really didn't like this Francis guy.
"Francis, your collar, it's on French." Said Antonio pointing to his own neck to a place where a collar would go. Francis chuckled and did some quick adjustments to the collar; it popped off his neck. I subconsciously pulled at my own collar, which caused Francis' attention to turn to me.
"Well who is this little cutie? Come here, dear, let me hold you." Said the blonde man predatorily. I glared back at him and snapped my teeth at his hands.
"Feisty aren't you?" he replied, eyes gleaming, and I swear to the Lord he was drooling!
"His name is Lovino.~ " says Antonio unnaturally perky. I turn my head to glare at him, throwing my name around like that, how dare him! I returned my attention to Francis when he leaned in to kiss my cheek; I shrieked and clung to Antonio.
"No, no, no, no, no, NO!" I yelled. Causing Francis to jump and for Antonio to (again) slap a hand over my mouth. They stayed still for a moment, listening for footsteps. When there was none, they both let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Well, It's been fun, see you both later!~" said Francis, who then winked and sauntered off. I glared at him until he turned the corner.
"Wow! We're having a real adventure! Aren't we Lovi?" said Antonio cheerfully. We walked down a couple more deserted hallways, until we came to a barely used door. The stairwell.

After walking down a couple flights of stairs, Antonio stopped abruptly.
Chuckling, he exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of this sooner!"
After fishing around in his pant pocket for awhile, he pulled out a key with a button on it. Pointing the key downwards, he pressed the button. A beeping sound was heard from way down below, then the sound of fans. Antonio leaned over the railing and looked down; I did as well, about seventy flights down a motorcycle like contraption was floating in the space between the box structured staircases.
"We can make that." Said Antonio, squinting at the device.
"Ya, we can definitely make that. Don't you think so Lovino?" I shook my head fervently to the negative. But, Antonio just ignored me, and stretched his legs a little, squatting with me in his hands.
"Ok, Lovi, hold on tight!" he gave me a charming smile and backed up to the wall of the staircase; I blushed and clung to his neck.
"Here we go!" He said getting a running start and pushing off a stairwell's edge. For a moment we were falling, falling so fast that my breath was sucked straight out of my lungs. With a jolt, we landed almost perfectly on the seat of the vehicle. He put the key in a hole on it contraption, and we were off.

We passed the white buildings and fake paper trees. Passed the carbon-copy buildings. Left the lies, secrets, and blinding lights of the city far behind us. We rode so far that there were no buildings at all just alabaster tiles beneath us.
And the city a small speck of light in the distance behind us.
After another long period of time, we came about a tall concrete wall. As tall as the magical skyscrapers in America. If they even existed anymore in this strange world.
But this wall seemed to touch the sky; blocking the world outside from us. Or, just like my new blank white room, caging me inside this empty world. The huge wall stretched from the right and left, going so far in each direction that I could not see its end.
Lifting my arm up from around Antonio's waist, I gently touched the wall with the palm of my hand. The wall was cold to the touch, solid beside my skin, and virtually unbreakable.
Antonio swiftly turned right. I yelped and clung to him, making him vibrate with chuckles. I scowled at his antics. He smiled back at me, and revved up the machine.
We rode next to the wall for a long time, it felt like forever. But, finally we came to a stop at a window.
Antonio got off of the bike and picked me up, pressing my face against his chest.
"Antonio! Why are you here again?" exclaimed a women's voice.
"You know why." Said Antonio, sounding very serious. I peeked out of his embrace to see a woman at the window. She was beautiful, with golden hair and green eyes. She wore a silver headband in her hair that tied behind her head. She probably would've been even more gorgeous if she didn't look so over-worked.
"I shouldn't be letting you out! I shouldn't be letting anyone out! You know what they do to people who break the rules. You know what they did to my older brother!" she looked frazzled and nervous.
"You know all this, yet here we are today." Said Antonio smirking. "Anyways," he gestured towards me in his arms, "This little one needs to see."
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she smiled down at me. I blushed instantly and buried my face into Antonio's chest. It's not like I trusted the bastard or anything like that! He was just familiar to me, THAT'S ALL!
Looking back up at Antonio she said, "This is the third time this week alone! You were out there nearly half the night two days ago! Didn't you end up late for work?"
"Please," he gave her a pleading look, "please, for the boy, he needs to know."
She sighed and pulled the lever next to her and typed on the flat typewriter to her left.
"What I do for old friends."
AN: thank you for all the reviews guys! I live off of them, for real.
Also this chapter was a real struggle, because it's a major turning point in this fic, and I had this horrible inner war over who would be "kinapping" Lovino, it was between Anonio and Sadiq. And each lead to very different storylines. But, I'm happy with my desicion with Antonio, because I felt like there needed to be more interaction inbetween him and Lovino.
Also the women at the end of the chapter is belguim, I really hope I made that I made that obvious.
