1. Lost in the woods
Lovino was angry, well… more than usual, so he sprinted towards the back exit of the Spaniard's house towards the garden, he didn't stop when he reached the tall tomatoes plants that Antonio was growing, neither did he do it when he reached the end of the Carriedo's land or the entrance to the dark forest, he only kept cursing to himself not quite noticing that he had left any safe ground long ago, he kept walking deeper in the woods
Meanwhile another boy was walking through the tall trees, this one knew the woods like the back of his hand, every tree, rock, pathway, everything. While having a little stroll in the known ground he heard what seemed to be a voice and curiosity hit him, because no one ever came to this forest apart from himself, he made his way through the different plants and reached a tree that was tall enough for him to see everything and not being seen, a place he used a lot when he still didn't knew the place well. Reaching a rather tall spot he saw a boy with burnet hair that had a weird defying gravity curl and seemed to be talking to himself as no one was with him
Lovino reached a tall tree and upon seeing it he didn't recognize it, when this realization strode his mind he started looking everywhere and panicking when he came to terms with his actual situation, when he was about to turn around and leave a sound got his attention. Looking into the sound's direction Lovino meet with a boy that had white hair and bright red eyes, the boy smiled at him
"Hallo, you seem pretty lost" he said
"That's not your business" said Lovino
The other just rolled his crimson eyes before smiling again
"I'm Gilbert, vhat's your name?" he asked
"Why would I tell you?" asked Lovino
"I wanna know, besides I might be able to help you" said Gilbert
Lovino gave him a confused glance and Gilbert chuckled before grinning
"Zhis woods belong to zhe awesome me" said Gilbert
"Yeah right" said Lovino
"You still haven't told me your name" said Gilbert
"Fine! I'm Lovino now stop bothering me" said Lovino
Lovino started sprinting into a random direction when…
"Don't move a muscle!" said Gilbert
The Italian looked at him stopping his steps as he ran towards him
"What do you want now bastard?" asked Lovino
"You're in a bear trap" said Gilbert
Lovino looked down to find that he was right and looked at him with fear obvious in his face, the other looked serious as he examined him from up to down , this time Lovino didn't say anything to complain
"I know how to get you out but you have to trust me" said Gilbert
"F-fine, just g-get me out-a of here" said Lovino
Gilbert gulped taking a decision and putting his arms around Lovino's waist; having been in any other situation Lovino would have either cursed or hit whoever touched him but this was different and somehow when Gilbert lift him up and spin him out of the mortal trap he didn't feel the urge to either, he even felt a little cold when he was released in the floor again
"Are you alright Lovino?" asked Gilbert
He nodded not trusting his voice as the albino lets a sigh of relief, Lovino looks at him curiously… no one had really cared for him like that
"Do you really know this forest that well?" asked Lovino
Gilbert smiles proudly as he nods and Lovino sighs before connecting his eyes with the red orbs
"Is not like I'm asking your help but I'm really lost dam-it" said Lovino
"Don't vorry, zhe awesome me vill help you get home" said Gilbert
"Then start guiding bastard" said Lovino
Gilbert gives a wining smirk before heading in the exact opposite direction that Lovino took and soon the brunet catches up with him. By the time they reach the end of the Spanish hose it's already late and he gives the albino one last look before the last one smile at him and starts heading away
"Oi Gilbert" said Lovino
The red-eyed stops to turn to him surprised that he called him by his name
"Listen because I'm not saying it twice" said Lovino
Gilbert nods and Lovino looks away with a slight blush on his face that he, the Prussian, found really cute
"Grazie" said Lovino
And before Gilbert can say anything back Lovino is already at the back door of the huge house, Gilbert sighs as he lets a small smile form on his lips as he wish he can see the Italian again although that might never happen. But he was wrong, for destiny had something in store for the two
