A young man was walking down the dirt street in a steady motion. The sun shone down on him as if it were god himself doing so, reflecting off of his white clothing. A white hat sat on top of his dark, auburn hair and a single curl fell to the right side of his head as his chocolate, honey eyes looked around the small town. White boots were strapped on his feet but only the bottoms of them could be seen coming out from underneath the white garbs he wore. A gold-yellow sash was draped around his shoulders that were lined with silver-grey bordering.
The town he wandered around was just a small town with a population of 150 people. Mostly work buildings were lined on the street this young man walked, but some of these buildings were also the housing of some of the townspeople. Most other houses, however, were bordered in a small area farther into the town, mainly for safety reasons. The buildings were no more than two stories high and most others were just one. There wasn't any need for them to be larger than that anyways.
As the younger man walked through town, a few of the townspeople would stop walking and give a small wave to him before stepping out of his way. The young priest waved to them as well as he continued down the road. Some of the townspeople would greet him with 'Hello Father Lovino" or 'It's good to see you Father Lovino.'
Lovino was the young man's name. A bright, intelligent youth who became a priest at the age of 16 since his Grandfather passed away. It was weird for him to think such a thing could've happened since his grandfather always took good care of himself, but it did. Lovino never really wanted to be a priest at such a young age, but he had no choice. His little brother was bedridden most of the time so Lovino believed that it was his duty to take care of things. Many people would say that he was overworking himself, but he felt like he wasn't.
"Good day Father Lovino," a young woman greeted with a sweet smile and a wave as the Italian walked by. Lovino gave a slight wave back as he continued to head towards the church. Now, this church wasn't one of those extravagant ones that one would see in Vatican City or even in a different city, it was just a small church that didn't even have a second floor to it. It was noticeable from town though. A large cross sat on the roof of the white building at the edge of town. A few windows could be seen, though only two of them actually let sunlight inside while the other ones were all stain glass ones.
As Lovino came up to it, a medium-sized door was on the front and a smaller section was attached to the church which led to the bedrooms that were present there. Lovino turned the nickel-silver colored door handle and walked inside the empty church, closing it behind him. He then walked through the main area of the church before going through similar doors on the front left side of the church and into the corridor where the bedrooms and kitchen sat. Three beds rooms to be exact. Lovino was in a room while his younger brother was in another room and the last room was empty. That had been the room their grandfather had stayed while he was alive. It hadn't been touched since then though, neither brother wanting to go inside and messing anything up.
The corridor that Lovino was walking down wasn't anything fancy either. White walls with a few flower vases lining it and, at the very end, was a picture of their grandfather hanging there. Lovino looked up at it. It was hard to tell the older man's age since he seemed so young but he was about 80 years old when he died. Lovino's dark auburn hair was like his grandfather's, though not as messy in the style. The one thing Lovino and his brother were different when it came to their grandfather was that they weren't as broad. The man in the picture had broad shoulders and it looked as if he could pick up a wooden crate that was over a hundred pounds, though that probably wasn't true.
Lovino softly sighed as he walked into the kitchen where he saw a young man, not much younger than himself, cooking at the stove. This man, however, had light auburn hair but wore the same clothes as Lovino, though the sash on this one was red instead of gold.
"Ciao Feliciano…." Lovino greeted the other man. The young man, Feliciano, turned around and smiled brightly at Lovino.
"Ciao Fratello~" Feliciano greeted his brother. Yes. Feliciano was Lovino's younger brother, though most people didn't seem to know how the two were related except the fact that they looked alike. So much so that they could be mistaken for twins, which happened when new people came to the church and they had not known the two prior to their visit.
Lovino didn't like that most of the time, but would ignore it anyways since that's what his grandfather had taught him when he was but a child. He would remember his grandfather saying "Be kind to those who do not know even if you do not like what they are saying." Almost everyone loved their grandfather.
"Did you get to do what you wanted to do this morning?" Feliciano asked as he placed some food onto two plates and set them on the table where Lovino now resided.
"Si… I did…" Lovino replied as he looked down at the plate. Scrambled eggs and ham. Just like the two always had in the mornings. Lovino didn't mind though since the church didn't have a lot of money and they could only afford to go food shopping every once in a while.
"That's good~ Ah!" Feliciano sat down before remembering something that he wanted to say. "Fratello~ Do you believe in angels?"
Lovino coughed a bit as he inhaled some of his food at that question. "W-Where is this coming from all of a sudden!"
"W-Well… I was just wondering…." Feliciano looked down with slight disappointment at his brother's outburst. He was hoping that his brother would just answer him instead of questioning him. Lovino grumbled a few things under his breath as he took a sip of the milk that his brother set in front of them earlier.
"No…" Lovino finally replied after a few minutes as he went back to eating.
"Ve…. Why not?"
"They're only things that people made up to give themselves more faith that their loved ones were still around…" Feliciano stuck some of his food into his mouth as he remained silent for a while before looking back up at his brother.
"I believe in them…."
"And?"
"Ve… I-I thought you might make fun of me for it…"
"Why would I do that? That's what you believe and I'm not going to comment on it…" Lovino continued to eat as he stared down at it. He really didn't care if his brother believed in angels or not. To him, they were just a way to keep from forgetting the past and he didn't believe in them since he couldn't really remember the past well. Being a priest, he couldn't laugh at someone who believed in such a thing. That was something else his grandfather had taught him as well.
"O-Oh…." Was all Feliciano said as he went back to eating as well. The silence filled between the two until Lovino was done and placed his dishes into the sink. He then went back out to the church and started getting ready for morning sermon like his grandfather would always do.
Now that Lovino thought about it, he couldn't really remember anything that he did with his grandfather besides things that came with the church. He remembered how his grandfather set things up for the sermon and what he was taught to become a priest and how to deliver a sermon, but that was about it. Anything else he couldn't remember. All of it was just a blur to him. It had never occurred to him before his brother had mentioned the whole angel thing. The older Italian shook his head as he started to light the candles in the church. He was being ridiculous to think of something like that. He would just get through this sermon and then ponder on everything later. That would be the best thing at the moment.
And that's exactly what he did.
