In fact I did enjoy writting this, though it most probably has many nasty mistakes so I'll be taking in count all spelling-chekers and granmar-nazis. Tell me what I did wrong and I'll correct it!
1. Of friends and crushes
"Do you like him? And don't lie to me, you know I can tell" asked Camila
Arthur looked at the black-haired girl in front of him knowing it was true and thinking about it, he had asked for her help so the wasn't any need to get angry at her suggestions, not to mention that the Argentinian had always been nice to him, his thoughts carried him back to why he was here in the first place
It had started as a normal week, with the plus that when the next week finished it would be the end of the school year, next year would be their last so everyone was kind of exited about the end of this one, talking on how next year was going to be incredible, or awesome as Gilbert proclaimed it, Camila even joked about it making his German accent about it being 'zhe asomest year', even when she was one year behind them due to age, who cared anyway, she got along with most of them, it was her fault that Arthur had met the Italians. I mean, sure he crossed ways with them various times as they shared some classes together but never did spoke with them unless it was completely necessary, but that changed after Arthur became 'friends', Camila said they were but the Brit wasn't so sure,with the Argentinian, at first he thought he would get a mean treaty from her, considering she was Argentinian and their countries didn't have a good relationship, but found that she was from 'the city that wanted to be European', as she called it herself, which he then learned to be named CABA, but what really made him became her friend were two particular things that they had in common, of course with the slim difference that when being called a freak and told that she was crazy the Argentinian only thanked the person while smiling, a attitude Arthur never understood.
After knowing Camila for some time he finally got to be invited to her house, the main reason why he never went before was because both her brother hated him, for her birthday, and she introduced him to the Italians more properly, when he met them he also found the other common thing between the black-haired and him, they both had a soft spot for Italians
It had been hard for Arthur to accept his orientation but his 'friend', who was he kidding the girl was like the sister he wished he had, had helped him through it, she even defended him when his real brothers decided to bother him about it, and that's how Arthur knew what an angry Camila was like, he didn't want to be the one to anger her, ever! The reason as to why he found out about his interests was rather ironical now that he thought about it, it had been all thanks to Michelle, Francis' cousin, and home-made pasta by the hand of the one and only Camila, as she had introduced the dish, it had been Camila's speciality, which meant Gnochis [I], that resulted in making Arthur discover his love for pasta; well it had been a odd day but when he realized and told Camila about the fact that he had discovered he was gay, she had smiled and told him that it would be good as long as he hadn't felt in love with Francis adding a healthy amount of curses towards the French guy and his particular way of being, another thing she had in common with him was the way they acted towards Francis, though Camila could act like him if she wanted but did only when joking. Of course it took some time untill the Brit finally noticed where his attention seemed to drift, which took him back to the current situation
He was sitting in the room of his best friend having a cup of tea with home-made cookies, which were incredible according to anyone who tasted them, and Arthur wasn't any exception to that, and besides she made a great tea. He took a zip, of course he had thought of that, he was glad that he had befriended the Italians, both of them, you could never get bored with them, but Feliciano had caught his attention the most, which was good because he had the reason to believe that Lovino was straight drinking tea in front of him, he smiled a little, Camila had told him about her crush on the elder Italian, it were the first day of the holidays, Arthur had seen for various Universities but had decided for a peculiar one Close-by, they had a great program for Literature, he was going to be a writer, he decided, and Camila had pushed him far enough as to finish a story which they tried to publish, then Feliciano came into the picture saying that he had met a woman who was in charge of a small Publishing company and told her about the story, which the italian knew of thanks to Camila slipping the copy to him without Arthur knowing, and she loved the idea and wanted to meet the autor, he got so exited that he literally made a little joy-dance, which caused Camila to literally roll on the floor laughing, then she joined the celebration as she had helped a lot, and when he thanked Feliciano that day and received a warm smile in exchange he felt as if an explosion occurred inside of him
"How would I know, I've never thought about guys that way before the incident with Michelle" said Arthur
"It's easy really, love is known for being easy to find in oneself but hard to discover in others, unless they're in love with someone else" said Camila
She moved closer to him and left the cup aside
"is something you feel here" she said pointing to his heart "and here" she added now pointing to his stomach
A bushy blond eyebrow raised at her comment
"I know that already" said Arthur
"Then you shouldn't have any problem noticing" said Camila
She looked to the window, he knew that look, it meant that she was going to say something cheesy but that was completely true, it wasn't a common look on her but Arthur paid special attention when it appeared, because it meant that she knew a lot about the subject
"The heart wants what the heart wants" said Camila
Then she got up and took the tray with the cups and the empty plate, Arthur went with her downstairs and wouldn't be happy until she agreed in letting him help washing the dishes, the door-bell rang and Camila looked at the direction confused
"I wasn't expecting any visits, beside yours" said Camila
She sighed and went to the door leaving Arthur with the cleaning, which he hurried to finish, curiosity making him faster, until he heard a familiar voice and almost dropped a cup
"Ve~ Ciao bella (1)" said the voice
"Hola Feli, what brings you here?" asked Camila
Arthur took deep breaths and kept on cleaning the cup before leaving it to dry with the other things, he then went to the kitchen door and listened close
"I came to ask you if I could borrow one of your books" said Feliciano
"Sure, come in" said Camila
Arthur decided to stand straight and pretend like he had just left the kitchen normally
"Ve~ Arthur! What are you doing here?" asked Feliciano
"He came for some help on a Spanish, so he came to me" said Camila
Arthur throw her a grateful smile to which she rolled her eyes still smiling
"Do you want a book in particular?" asked Camila
"I wanted that poetry book you showed me once" said Feliciano
Camila raised an eyebrow, something she had gotten from spending so much time with Arthur, and smiled
"Of course, I'll go look for it, please make yourself comfortable" said Camila
She went upstairs leaving the other two alone, not without giving Arthur a meaningful look beforehand of course, the blonde could feel his pulse quicken, specially when Feliciano's gaze moved to him
"You seem pretty close to Camila" said Feliciano
Arthur smiled feeling a bit more relaxed on that topic
"Yes, she's like a sister to me" said Arthur
"Ve~ That's really nice, for a moment I thought Arthur would be interested in Camila" said Feliciano
"Oh no, I mean sure she's nice and anyone would be lucky to have her but really I wouldn't see her as anything but a younger sister that can scare the crap out of my older brothers" said Arthur
The sentence had a joking tone, he found it amusing really, how the little Argentinian could be so imposing when she wanted to
"Camila is really brave ve~" said Feliciano
"You seem to be close to her too" said Arthur
"Ve~ Si, I've known her since we were little" said Feliciano
Camila came downstairs with the book she was asked for
"Here you go~" said Camila
"Grazie bella (2)" said Feliciano
"Prego~ (3)" said Camila
The one thing Arthur had always envied from Camila was how easily she spoke in other languages, maybe it was because of the way she spoke in her own, he always told himself that if there was any chance of him wanting to learn spanish, he would want to learn the kind she spoke, because it had feeling like every other language, unlike Antonio's Spanish, but maybe that was just Arthur hating everything the Spaniard did
"I see you're opening a little to him" said Camila
"What do you mean?" asked Arthur
"You're usually more reserved when it comes to me, don't look at me like that Feli wasn't really trying to be silent and I worry for you" said Camila
"I'm not reserved about you, I just think that if they want to know about you they should ask yourself" said Arthur
"Which is exactly what I think about your stuff, but most of the time you act like an overprotective brother, which I appreciate seeing that my real brother doesn't care much for me" said Camila
"I know that, it was the reason we became friends, remember?" said Arthur
"And you get angry when I say that your way to feminine, do you listen to yourself?" asked Camila smirking
Arthur frowned and she giggled before winking at him, he rolled his eyes at her antics and she grinned
"Tomorrow is the first Monday that I'm looking forwards to!" said Camila out of the blue
Arthur couldn't help but laugh at the comment and nod his head
"I bet you want us to go as soon as possible" said Arthur
"Of course, then I'll finally be able to study during break, the guys can get very annoying" said Camila
"Am I not included in the group?" asked Arthur
"Of course not! You're my gay friend" said Camila
"Oh shut up!" said Arthur
Camila laughed lightly and Arthur crossed his arms in irritation but the look that Camila gave him make him relax, she was just joking, of course
"I think you should leave, my brother will be here soon and he despises you more than he despises any one else" said Camila
"Sometimes I wonder just how the two of you are related" said Arthur
She rolled her eyes and pushed him out of the house, but she was smiling because she knew he had been joking too
