What was a quiet afternoon is interupted when Lovina Vargas, eldest of the Vargas sisters, yells, chasing two little puffs of fur out of her resteraunt, or rather the place she shared with her younger sister, Felicia.
"C-cazzo..." she curses, noting that this time around the pair of kittens took food. She glances over at Felicia who is nervously smiling. "Sorella, what the hell? We can't feed every animal that you think looks cute." she frowns, scolding her.
"Buuuut Sorella" Felicia pouts, her soft amber eyes filling with tears. "Those little babies are helpless, and so cute~" she giggles thinking of them. "I bet Antonio would take them i-"
"I don't give a flying fuck what the tomato idiot would do!" Lovina glares at the younger sister, putting her hands on her hips. "He's such a bastard..."
"Did you and Tonio get into a fight again?" Felicia pouts more, resting her hands on her perfectly tanned complexion. "Sorella, he loves you~" she giggles more, causing Lovina to sigh. Ever since Felicia and her highschool sweetheart parted ways, she was always going on about how Lovina shouldn't be too touch on Antonio, her on again and off again boyfriend. She was even more persistant when she heard that said highschool sweatheart went missing. Nobody knows if he was alive or not, and the only ones who still had hopes were herself, and of coarse his older brother, Gilbert Beilschmidt. "Please, give her a chance to prove his love~"
"He already had chances" Lovina rolls her eyes turning away. "And don't you dare say he didn't mean it...for the love of god, he openly admited to hooking up with the damned rose bastard" she cringes, trying to take the mental image of him and his best friend Francis Bonnefoy, doing what they did. It just made her stomach churn, because Francis always was such a pervert.
"But sorella..." Felicia trails off, letting out a small worried 've'. "They were tryin g to protect eac-" A knock at the door interupts Felicia, causing Lovina to look up at the door. "S-si?" Felicia asks, geting up and going to the door. "Tonio" she giggles, hugging the Spainard as if they were separated for years. "Lovi's in here~" she giggles, practically skipping back into the room. "Lovi~ Lovi~ Antonio's here~~" he giggles, dragging him in with her.
Lovina rolls her eyes, before going back to work. She was prepping a meal for someone, when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. With an annoyed 'chigi' she stomps her foot back, automatically earning a small pained 'ow'. The grip loosens enough for Lovina to turn around and raise her hand to slap Antonio across the face. Sadly for her, as if it were expected, Antonio grabs the Italian's hand, stopping her.
"Lovi~" he pouts at her. "I said you were my only little tomate~" She frowns and tries to turn away, buthe embraces her with as much passion as he could muster. He rests her head on his shoulder, and with his free hand, strokes her hair. "Lovi~ Te amo~" He says this as if it were second nature. "Now, please don't be mad at me? Please Lovi~?" He cups her chin with his hand, his emeral green eyes softly looking into her own dark amber ones. "I promise I'll love only you~" He moves closer, but pauses when she just stifly stands there, her fists clenched tightly. "Lovi..."
Lovina tries to look away, and tries to push him, but the minute her hand touches his chest, she freezes, feeling a blush slowly take over her tanned complexion. Then the tears sting her eyes as she looks up at him. She feels a pain in her chest as she wonders why she decided to hate Antonio. Yes, she was hoping they were each other's firsts, but now it finally hit her.
She meant more to him than Francis ever would.
She couldn't hate him for that. She could hate Francis, but Antonio...she could never hate him for all that he did. He was there for her, when she was having family, or rather problems with her grandfather. He was there for her when that guy from Turkey started to harass her. Above all else, he was always the one Lovina went to when she was upset, and he was the only one to see her cry.
She leans in and presses her lips against him. In almost no time at all, he kisses her back, wrapping his arms around her waist. Everything with him felt perfect, and especially the way he could read off of her in these moments. Lovina was puzzled at how someone like him could have less than intelligent moments, but when it was just him, he did everything to make sure she was happy. Just how in the world did that work? She completely forgets this internal argument, melting into one of his many perfect kisses. Even though his lips were chapped from the sun, because he spent hours upon hours outside, they just made the kiss better for her.
"T-ti amo" she whispers as she moves back, resting into him, as he strokes her long brown hair. He was an idiot, but she couldn't stay mad at him.
"Te amo Lovi~" Antonio smiles, kissing the top of her head. "Now whydon't we go for a walk or something, si~?"
"B-but..." Lovina stutters, caught off guard. She was expected to close up with Felicia in a few hours, because she refused to let her stay alone in with Gilbert, one of the waitors. The last time she was left alone, the place got closed early, and Gilbert was balsting annoying music. In other words, he had started a party while she was absent. "I can't...I have to stay here tomato idiot..."
"It'll be fine sorella~" Felicia practically skips in. "Gilbert's father is here and will keep Gil in check...even if he's scary" her smile falters as she remembers him. "S-so s-scary...ve..."
Cue Lovina's palm meeting her face.
"Con on Lovi~ let's go" Antonio smiles, as he grabs her hand, literally dragging her out of the resteraunt. He waves to Gilbert, who is sitting at the station with Francis. Lovina glares when said Frenchman sitting close winks at Lovina in a very suggestive way. She hates him with a fiery passion since he used to stalk her when she was in middle school. He smoothtalked to all of the women...no scratch that, he smooth-talked to anything that walked and he found attractive. He was almost as bad as her grandfather.
With a small sigh, Lovina follows Antonio, until they are at a small park, sitting near the turtle fountain Antonio loves so much. He cuddles with her near the bench, in the midst of their beautiful little retreat. On the fountain where some small baby turtle figurines that during the night had various lights, illuminating the main part of the fountain. At just the right hour it was a beautiful and breaht-taking sight, and for Lovina and Antonio, it was where their first kiss was and where their first-year anniversary date was. Lovina lets out a small content sigh as she rests her head into his chest. She really did miss the tender moments they shared, from the slight hand touches to the moments like this, where nothing matters but each other. She feels at ease, hearing his heart beat, and even relaxes more while softening under his gentle touches here and there. To anyone who would pass by, there are the perfect couple.
"Lovi~?" Antonio asks, looking ahead of him. "Lovi? Something's meowing..." she carefully shifts her, and gets up folowing the source of said meows. Lovina tiredly follows until they find the source and her eyes widen in shock.
In a crawl space under the gazebo was a family of small kittens, a few of them to be exact. Two of them she instantly reconized. The kittens who always took food out of the kitchen, or in some cases were given food by Felicia.
One of the kittens had a light fur, however what stood out most was the light brown mane around it, and even more unusual was the curl protroding out. It shyly curled up next to the kitten that always seemed to annoy Lovina the most. This one looked identical, almost like a twin to the first kitten, if it weren't for the fact that this kitten has a darker mane, blue eyes instead of purple, and an ahoge instead of the weird curl. Lovina frowns remembering that for the last week or two these kittens were the cause of her stress as they took food, or even worse coaxing Felicia into giving them milk.
"Lovi~ Look at the kittens" Antonio starts to laugh, while kneeling down and allowing one of them to go to him. "Who's a little cutie~" he picks up what looks like a scottish fold, who starts to hiss at him. "Awww...look at...him~"
"Antonio you idiot..." Lovina frowns when the kitten scratches at him for trying to figure out the gender.
"But lovi~ we haver to know the gender~" he pouts before looking at the kittens. "Do you little ones want a real home with Lovi and I~?" he laughs when one of the twin cats jumps up in excitement. "Then it's settled~ Lovi and I will be your new parents~"
"C-che cazzo" Lovina can't help but get annoyed. "Antonio, you idiot...we can't keep all of them...hell we don't even live in the same house...how the fuck is this supossed to work?"
"Oh...right...well...we live close by~ and if it fails we have friends who can help out~"
If only Lovina knew how one of those kittens was going to change her life after that day.
