Feliciano was not as fortunate as everyone else he heard of was, and not even that, he just came here, he didn't know anyone He was poor, almost poverty stricken, and his parents died in a car crash while he was at his grandfather's house when he was 8 years old. His grandfather took him and his two brothers in, Lovino and Fulio (I do not know Seborga real name so i called him Fulio) Lovino was a pain the rear at times, very bratty and hated being told what to do, so he was always glaring and he seemed to get more attention that Feliciano, so did Fulio. Fulio was a smart kid, he was kind and not much of a flirt, but the girls liked him, alot… he was always happy and smiling, and he loved his time with his brothers as much as Lovino loved to spend time with the smaller brothers as well, but he just acted grouchy, that was all.
After their grandfather died, in a store robbery, the boys were all split up, Lovino had to go with his teenage cousin Antonio Carriedo, and his mother and father, they were wealthy and they loved children so he was going to a good home, he was just forced to go to a private school, and he did NOT like that at all, he was trying all he could to stay with his little brothers but he eventually was too exhausted to move and they carried him off, the family could only take in Lovino, no matter how much they wanted to take in the other two children as well.
Fulio went to a rich man and his wife, he was the president and he wanted an heir, so he got a son, though a teensy bit strict, the man loved his son, it filled the empty hole he had there after his wife died of illness. Fulio was pulled away from Feliciano the same way that Lovino was, and he eventually just gave up, sobbing, the president could only take one son in, he wanted to take Feliciano, but he had to hurry and his supervisors said one son would be the best choice anyway, if he got to stay in power and pass it down to his boy…
That left Feliciano all alone, he was never adopted, and he remained in the orphanage a very long time as he was stuck waiting on someone to eventually adopt him, but they never came, he lost track of his brothers and he never saw them again, he was sure that they would never come back either, with that in his thoughts, all of his mind was consumed with grief and sadness. Then the orphanage was shut down, he was stuck wandering the streets, living alone, that was until he found an empty apartment and he was able to make use of it, it was at the end of town and it was decent sized at least, and it was furnished, this was making his life at least just a little easier, since he had it so badly to begin with.
Starting school now because the police have finally managed to get him to the school after years and years of searching when the orphanage was demolished, and the caretaker died, well it was about a few years, Feliciano was now about 15 years old and believe me, this one did not have it easy in the slightest bit. He was now going to an unfamiliar place where there are or at least tend to be a whole bunch of people, what if they were mean?
As he was walking up the path, he wore his old clothes, dull and faded, though in decent condition of the circumstances, he was okay to be dressed like this since it was an average public school, and he wouldn't need a new outfit for a few days, while the school was to be ordering their school attire.
There it was, a tall school, though it did look a little average, it was not bad looking, it was finely built, there was a nice green lawn, there were a few students walking around on the lawn, while the others were sitting in the shade on a bench, most of them were the girls, watching the guys in the field that were playing sports. They were giggling amongst themselves as the guys tackled and wrestled each other to the ground. Some of the other guys were on the other benches, having arm wrestling competitions, some drinking water, juice or soda, and there was this one reading a book. Sighing to himself, he had tried to make himself as unnoticeable as possible, it was a couple months into a new year. The reason outfits were being ordered was because it was now a school requirement.
Upon seeing the new kid, one of the boys tapped another boy on the shoulder, and he whispered something to him, both of them started to smirk and gave a chuckle of mischief, they got up and they soon started to follow the younger man, though the other did not seem to notice them. Getting to a less populated area, Italy was about to sit down and wait for the bell to go in, he tried to open the doors, but the doors were locked, so he guessed he needed to wait for a bell first. He sighed again, he didn't have any idea what to do here. Right after school, he was going to be picked up by a bus and taken to yet another orphanage, and he had not yet had the chance to meet the caretaker.
Snapped from his thoughts by a laugh behind him, he turned to see a taller man, he had a mask on, and he was smirking widely as he looked down on the smaller male, the italian felt like an ant to this guy, he had brown hair, green eyes, and slight facial hair, not really much but still there as far as he saw.
" hello there new kid! Why are you so shrimpy? Man, heh, you are freaking tiny!" The taller man taunted and he pushed the Italian down to the ground, the smaller teen lands on his cantankerous and he grunted in pain
" Ve… why did you do that? D-did i do something offensive to you? I'M SORRY!" there they were, the water works, the blasted tears he had always cried, since he was always so alone, there were the tears he shed when his brothers were taken away from him, the tears he had when his grandfather died, the tears he started to shed when he had been hurt from being pushed down the stairs by the boys at the orphanage. The same tears of pain he always feels, whether it is emotional, physical, or even the start of mental, they were all there and they were spilling down his face in small rivers
"Come on Sadik, really, it is the dudes first day of school, you too Gilbert!" came the voice of another boy who was rounding the corner, he was taller than Feliciano, but he was only an inch shorter than the boys who were pushing him around, the other male, who was an albino, huffed and he glared a little bit like a schild as a yellow bird was perched on his shoulder
" Come one Alfred, you are no fun! The awesome me has to do something somehow and this is it, he is so shrimpy! And look at him, he looks cute, but pathetic when he cries!" the albino whines to the other male who was watching them, not in amusement, but in annoyance, though he seemed to be smiling at the same time, maybe thinking of a way to make them understand not to pick on little kids, italy looked like he was only 13 years or so
" forget it Gilbert, lets just go in the 'hero' over here can deal with the crybaby, and we can get him later.." Sadik huffed out and the other male grumbled, then they both left
" are you okay little dude, did they hurt you?" Alfred asked and he offered his hand out to the other, who gladly, but cautiously took the hand, and got up, sighing
" Ve, thank you, who are you?" Feliciano asked and he looks at Alfred, who was already grinning happily
" I am Alfred, Alfred F. Jones! F stands for Freedom!" Alfred was beaming and Feliciano was confused for a moment, but shown the light of a childish smile to the taller boy in appreciation "thanks Alfred, I am Feliciano Vargas and it is nice to meet you" came the voice of the other boy, who was now grinning ear to ear in happiness as he was dusting himself off.
Just then the bell rang, memories flooded back from when he was a child at the orphanage, there was a bell, and anytime he didn't get to his destination in time, he was either made fun of, or pushed around by the others. The Caretaker of the orphanage was a very cruel man who liked to pick on and torture Feliciano the most, mostly because he always cried around and he was always listening to his directions and orders to make sure he was not getting in trouble. There were two boys that liked to pick on him in particular at the orphanage when he was younger, where they went, he had not a clue though. The bullies names were Rodney and Kigali, they were very mean and they loved hurting everyone, Feliciano was very kind to them when they had first came into the orphanage, but when they started being cruel, he was scared all of the time, and they loved his fear almost as much as the caretaker, if not even more or slightly less, give or take the situation to be honest.
When the place was demolished, they were injured badly and he had helped to patch them up using the bandages he had stolen from the cabinet, they didn't be mean that single time and they left, they went to the forest and Feliciano had never seen them again.
Getting pulled from the thought's he was having, Feliciano had been brought back to reality, where he was on his knees again, and he was shaking, as to why, he did not have an inkling of a thought on how, but he got up and he looked all kinds of confused as he just got up and started to walk inside the school, he was looking around, and it was rather large inside, he took a turn and walked past another group of girls, who were all giggling and laughing.
The passing a group of guys, he just remembered something, he barely remembered what his brothers looked like, they were slightly taller than him when they were smaller, but they also had curls, he couldn't remember anything else, they were just, shadow like figures, and they seemed to have a warm comforting feeling to them as he thought of them.
The girls he walked by, there was a girl with long platinum blonde hair, it had a blue bow in the top of the hair and the girl herself had lavender eyes,, mixed with a single tinge of blue as they were brought into the light of the room. She was looking at him blankly, and she had this almost devious expression, though she looked pretty, she was also very scary looking as well. Another girl, she had light blonde hair, her eyes were huge, and blue, they were glimmering, and she was blushing, it looked like it was a natural blush, she had 2 pins in her hair, to the left, and she was wearing overalls and a dressy shirt, she had boots on, and some dirt was near the bottom of the pant legs, she was looking at him, and she looked very kind, maybe he could ask her for help later if he needed it. There was a girl with brown hair, very long, she had green eyes and a green dress on, it reminded Feliciano of the one dress he had to wear in the orphanage because they thought he was a girl, either that or they didn't really care to even notice and threw him it whatever they found. She had a book in her hand and it was a book about cooking. The fourth girl had short cut hair with a purple ribbon and a flower in it, it was slightly darker than the other girl with blonde hair, but not by much, maybe a shade or two at least.
Feliciano did not spend much time looking at the girls though, he found the principle's office and he walked in after gaining acceptance from a voice, just seconds after he had knocked on it.
Walking inside, he stopped in front of a desk, there was a man, long blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked at Feliciano and waited for him to talk, then he greets the young teen with a smile and he gets up to walk around his desk " Ah, you must be Feliciano Vargas, am i correct?" he asked and Feliciano did nothing but nod as he was waiting for the man to continue, though he returned a friendly smile as a way to try and stay on the principle's good side if he could, he was not going to be a teachers pet, he just didn't want to get in trouble.
" Si~ may i get…. Uhm, my… schedule, is it called?" The young Italian asked and he tried to think about it, since he was never in school before, he had no idea what to call all of this, the only reason he ended up in high school, was because the police had a few teachers come in and give him a few basic skills tests, and he had perfect scores after they had explained things to him, he was rather intelligent for a kid that had never went to school and learned these things the easy way.
" yes you may, here it is, and your guide will be here shortly, attendance is taken" The man said and he smiled as he allowed Feliciano to sit on the chairs, though the boy just sat on the floor, he sighed and he smiled again to the younger man. Soon enough there was yet another knock on the door. " Come in." came the slightly loud response, used to let people pass.
" Hello, good morning, i am Ludwig Beilschmidt, and I have all of my classes with you, so let's go, we have to make sure we both are not late." the boy was tall, masculine, and he had gelled back blonde hair, he also had the same piercing eyes as the principle, they were the same color and their hair was as well, not to mention they both could hold a rather sturdy and demanding expression as they gazed at others. Feliciano nodded and he started to follow the other teen, who was 16, just a year older, but he was in the same grade as him, they started to leave the room. "See you dad, i'll be at football practice after school as well" the principle smiled and he waved as Ludwig closed the door. So that was it, the Principle was this guys dad.
Walking down the hallway was almost a chore as the two silent teens had to dodge running and walking students who were in a time rush to beat the bell and get to their classes, the silence was killing Feliciano, so he made an attempt to start a conversation with the older boy, who looked blankly ahead him as he was talking about the school from time to time.
" Ve, i am Feliciano Vargas, it is nice to meet you…" Feliciano smiled and the other one did not even such as look at him, he was still staring ahead as he walked and nodded curtly at him with a mumble of a 'nice to meet you too i guess', but that was about all he said "thank you for showing me around here" Feliciano tried again and he could tell he annoyed the other boy, so he shut up and went to the class.
Upon the boys opening the door, all of the students were already looking at him, he was nervous, he did not like the fact all of them were looking at him, it made him feel a bit scared, so he started to shake
" aah, hello Beilschmidt, is this the new student?" came the teacher's voice, it was almost smooth and it didn't really sound mean as much as it was morbid curiosity that had grasped the teacher's words
" yes, this is Feliciano…" Ludwig said and he went to sit down in his desk, ignoring the teacher after that, though he did get out his notebook, and he started to get the page ready for the day's notes
"Alright Feliciano, please re-introduce yourself to the class and say a few things about yourself as well. Then go and sit in seat number 7 in the back of the room…" The teacher instructed, as he turned, Feliciano saw the name tag and it said the teachers name was mister Greggs.
Nodding, the small male faced all of the students in the class, that consisted of a Frenchman, who was his…. HIS COUSIN FRANCIS?! There was Ludwig, a Japanese man in the back of the room, the American boy in the back of the room was the same one that saved him earlier, there was the Turkish and other German, and there was an English boy towards the front, the scary looking girl from earlier with the bow in her hair, a Hungarian looking girl, a Greek boy sleeping in the middlemost desk, a cat next to him. There were a few girls in the back and front of the room and other guys as well, they all looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
" Ve~ hello i am Feliciano Vargas and it is nice to meet you! I love the colors blue and red, i love pasta, and i sketch in my free time!~" He said happily, though he was still very anxious he was trying to make sure to cover up his scared looking face and just try and be happy and hopefully he was going to be fine. He had never been is such a public place to where so many people were looking at him.
" wait…. Feli?" Came Francis's voice, as if it were in shock and disbelief, he was looking at the Italian boy with wide eyes and they almost seemed to be ready to lose some tears
" UH….. yeah?" Feliciano looked at him and he stopped as he realized just who he was talking to, it was his 'big brother' France, though he was more of a cousin.
" how? How are you here? I thought you died when the orphanage was destroyed! The police said they couldn't find your body! Me and my family were looking everywhere for you!" the French yelled out and he was worried sick, he was almost trembling.
" awww, look how romantic! Looks like Francis has himself a long lost girlfriend!" Sadik yelled from the back of the room and the rest of the class bursted out laughing, with the exception of the sleeping boy and a few people who either looked sympathetic or simply annoyed at the outburst like the teacher was.
" I-I'm not a girl!" the confused and rather nervous italian boy yelled out, he was blushing, did he look that much like a girl? To put it in a simple standpoint, the Italian did not quite know the meaning of 'Cruel Sarcasm' and he was finding himself getting more and more uncomfortable
" Zip it Sadik! He is my cousin!" Francis yelled out and the class stopped abruptly, there was a long pause and there was simply not much talking, the teacher gets out of his seat and he sighs
" alright class, thank you for the introduction Felciano, please go and take a seat between Francis and Arthur, we will start todays lessons on biology, we will be drawing a diagram of the frog's' intestines and label them, please take your time and do as good as you can, this will be a 50 point grade, remember students, i am not grading artwork, i am grading accuracy with the names! You have 30 minutes, and then you get to present it to the class, and i will also give you a grade on oral presentations!" The teacher yelled out and he sat in his chair, grading the papers that were turned in the week before.
Seeing the helping image on the board, the small male got to work on it, he started to draw the stomach and the other bigger organs first, and went into the smaller details first, there were smaller things he was getting down, and the Japanese boy that was a couple seats behind him got up to grab his pencil.
Not meaning to, he looked at the Italian boys drawing so for and to say this, it looked, wow. It was so realistic, there were the parts were the shading was good, there was a real look to them and they were all labeled accurately, there were small smudges the boy was erasing now, that are now making it look a little foreshadowed, there was an outer shadowing of a frog, and it even looked real, though you could see no real details like eyes, even the shadow looked like it was popping off the page.
" wow, you are a good artist…" The Japanese boy said as he looked at it again, he was rather interested in the picture, for his own, it at looked pretty decent, but at the same time it was somewhat cartoony, mainly because the only thing he can draw good is anime things and he was not good at realistic stuff, but it did have a someone accurate ring in the picture.
" Ve~ thanks! I love to draw! This is actually pretty easy!" Feliciano smiled and he Continued to draw the figure, labeling his name in rather fancy penmanship on the top of the paper, like one of the instructors showed him to do. " who are you?" he asked in curiosity, wanting to get to know this new acquaintance.
" Oh, right prease forgive me, i am Kiku Honda, and it is a preasure to meet you" came the response, this boy held no expression, but somehow Feliciano could tell the other was rather embarrassed from not introducing himself to the other.
" it is just fine!~ Nice to meet you!" The bubbly Italian boy smiled and he grins even wider at the other, who seemed to have a ghost of a smile spread across his lips seeing the other smile, somehow the smile was rather, well, contagious, somehow.
" Werr, i better get back to work" Kiku said and he went back to his desk, the other just kept ahold of his paper and thought about the boys accent, he was Japanese, he could tell from the looks, mainly it was in the shape of the eyes, and the face, not to mention the skin tone from time to time, but the skin tone was not all that reliable. The accent was Japanese, it sounded like he was still a little bit foreign, he was having a bit of trouble pronouncing his 'l's' and they were replaced with 'r's' but they was fine, at lest there was a new friend possible for him, it would maybe be better to have more friends than enemies, or maybe not hang around anyone too much.
When the teacher called the class to the board to present, everyone was surprised that Feliciano had that much drawing talent and they even applauded at it, some apologized for laughing at him after class was over as well. Following the German to the next few rooms he had, he was silent, there was nothing to say, it did not seem as if it was in the others mindset to talk too much. So Feliciano just left him alone, unless it was to say thank you for the directions, and even then all he got all of the time was a simple curt nod and a huff.
Lunchtime came slowly, there was a crowded lunchroom, and there seemed to be yells coming from everywhere, walking through the lunchroom, he had bumped into someone, it was a boy not much taller than himself, he had hair that seemed to resemble his cousin Francis's hair, though it was a few shades lighter and had this curl falling down in front of his face, the curl was a rather sloppy looking loop-de-loop shape.
" Ve! I am so sorry, i did not see you there!" The Italian was quick to apologize and he was doing it repetitively, he was afraid of being bullied again so he was trying to make amends, though the other boy looked more worried or confused than mad at the brunette, he was holding a little stuffed bear, it was a robot though, since real bears were too dangerous for school.
" Your fine, what is the matter? It was an accident eh?" the other had a very meek and quiet voice, only slightly audible since there was much noise in the surrounding area.
" … yeah, sorry though, i did not mean to bump into you…" The Italian said and he was finally starting to calm down as he was getting his breathing under control and looking sheepishly at the ground with more of a look of fear than anything and it was making the Canadian look very confused and he was trying to comfort him
" it's okay! Please calm down, you're fine, it was just an accident!" Matthieu was getting scared, did he literally just scare this guy into crying? He wasn't that scary, especially since he was way smaller than almost everyone there, and he was only an inch or two above this guy in front of him. This one was quick to think he was in trouble, so that must of meant he was bullied a lot through his years, that was generally not a very good sign.
" okay, sorry though, again… VE!~ I am so confused!" the Italian wailed out and he sighed and he sat on the bench nearby, putting his head on the table so he can try to calm down and think things over while the other boy looked at him. Getting his emotions under control he smiled and got up again. " I am Feliciano Vargas, it is nice to meet you… and i am still sorry for bumping into you"
" It is fine, eh, I am Matthieu Williams, are you the new student here everyone is talking about?" The Canadian boy asked and he looked to the other with a small smile. 'I wonder why he can still see me, i am usually one who doesn't get seen… at all…. I am usually forgotten for my step brother Al, and when they do see me, they think i am him….that is really odd' he was thinking to himself and he smiled internally.
"Who are you?" came the voice of the robotic polar bear that was hanging in his arms, all of a sudden, his happiness was shattered and he sighed, going into an emo corner "Im Matthieu… your owner…" he hugged the bear and he sighed…. There seemed to be blue covering his face as he just sat in the emo corner until Feliciano spoke again
" Ve! It is nice to meet you! Who is your cute little friend?" He asked and he walked up to the bear and started to pet the little fluffy robots ears, which moved realistically
" This is Kumajirou, he is the robot bear i made when i was smaller, so i had something to play with, i didn't like some of my other toys so i made him, he is a good friend to have and i am happy i have him." Matthieu smiled and he pet the bear again, though he was very disappointed his own creation couldn't even remember his name, he was still happy he made him and he wouldn't try to change him for the world, he was happy, and he was going to keep it at that, no matter what.
" Nice! Maybe i can try to make a kitty cat! I want to name it Itabby! He will be so cute and look like me! VE~" Feliciano had said with much excitement in his voice and he smiled, he sat down and asked if Matthieu had wanted to eat with him and the Canadian boy nodded with a smile, there was certainly excitement in hi eyes with the answer, maybe he had made a friend!
" Sure! I am going to go and get my food, i will be back, okay?" Came the meek boys voice, though the first part was supposed to be a small shout, it was merely a whisper as he was smiling and he got in line.
After a few moments of smiling, the small ecstatic boys smile faded, he was happy he was going to have a friend to eat with, and he was happy he wasn't in trouble with him either since he bumped into him, the bad news was he was hungry and he wasn't going to be able to ever afford his lunch here so he was going to get rather hungry. He was not going to ask anyone else to give him anything though, it was their lunch, not his.
" Back, thanks for waiting up on me" The blonde haired boy smiled as he sat down and Feliciano didn't respond, he was staring out the window, just then, Matthieu thought he was forgotten and he wasn't see once again and he sighed sadly, getting ready to get up and leave, but Feliciano stopped him.
" OH! Sorry Matthieu, i was thinking, go ahead and sit down!" The other boy smiled a true smile and he let the Canadian sit down on the the bench as well, the other smiled and he started to eat his waffles and sausage, he was munching it happily as he looked at the other and noticed he didn't have a plate.
" where is your food? Aren't you hungry?" Came the violet eyed boys question out of the blue to the other who was smiling and he stopped, and he smiled again and gave a very faint wave of his hand to the other.
" VE~ I am not that hungry, i had a large breakfast! Thanks for asking Matthieu!" He smiled and he continued to talk about small things like art and his love for animals and other things like that, such and such for here and there. The 'norm' as they call it.
" Feli? Who are you talking to?" Alfred was looking at him like he was crazy and he was surprised and shocked, what was going on here?
" huh? Oh! I am talking to my friend, Matthieu! He's right there!" The boy pointed to the spot where his friend was, but Alfred looked at the spot and all he saw was an empty area, where there was a half eaten lunch and he looked saddened
" His last name, what is his last name?" Alfred asked and he was almost to where he was giving a small shout to the smaller brunette, who was looking at him quizzically, and he was tilting his head a little bit to the left as he looked at him still.
" Ve? His name is Matthieu Williams, he is fun to be around! He has this awesome bear and he had glasses like yours, he kind of looks like you too! Maybe you two are related! Only he had longer hair, a different curl, his glasses are more round, and his eyes are violet/purple, and his hair was about a few tones lighter than yours!" The Italian smiled and he was pointing to his friend who was across the table from him, smiling as he ate his meal, but all of a sudden his face faltered, he knew what was coming next.
" But there's, no! It is not possible!" Alfred shouted with a hoarse voice and his eyes were leaking tears as they looked at Feliciano in shock and utter disbelief, how? How did he know what his brother looked like if he just moved here and haven't met him! Then again, there was no way he was going to be able to meet him, he went missing a year ago and Alfred was dedicating his time to go and look for him whenever he could, though he had no luck, the police haven't been able to find him either.
" How? He is right here in front of me Alfred!" The Italian was very confused, why was he saying there was nobody there, and why did he look like he was about to cry? The boy he was talking about was right in front of him and he was sitting there eating still, while he was looking at Alfred.
" He went missing a year ago, nobody has been able to find him, not even the police! How could you have seen him?! How?! I just don't get it, where did you learn about my brother at?! Why are you saying you are talking about someone you don't even know?!
" ve! What are you talking about? He is right here! Matthieu! What is he getting at?" The confused male looked at the blonde who's face was now darker and he seemed to have this stance sinister look on his face as he was looking at Alfred, like he wanted to kill, he was refraining and refraining a lot, Feliciano was confused even more as people started to whisper about and talk amongst themselves and to each other as they continued to look at the italian and the america who looked like he was about to cry.
" you are a liar! He is not here!" Alfred was now giving off a glare as he was starting to ball his fist to show anger, now it was replacing all of the friend he and he was felling a huge bubbling rage take over and he was about to sock the other boy in the face, the english boy that was in the same class as both of them from earlier walked up to them and he managed to spit i the one sided fight from the Americans side and the mass confusion coming from the other.
" What is the issue here? Is there something that needs to be reported to the principle?" he asked and he looked sincerely to the only inches taller male, who was still glaring at Feliciano with morbid hate, and almost lost in despair, there was much sorrow filling the anger blazing baby blue eyes as they burrowed right into the amber ones.
" ….. This….. Liar, is telling me he is talking to my brother, and he is lying to me! He says he is talking to Matthieu, and there is nobody there! He knows what he looks like as well! There is no way this should be happening! He should not know him, he is still missing! There is just no way!" The American yelled out and he was ready to throw another punch, when Ludwig walked up to the group holding his tray of food. He looked very, well, to put it nicely, he looked extremely unhappy.
" Is there a problem? I think i can help you with it, why are you trying to punch Feliciano? You know that is an automatic suspension from school, right Alfred? Feliciano, is he trying to harm you in anyway?" Ludwig turned his gaze to Feliciano who was more pale, and he smiled and gave a fake, but real sounding laugh, as he sat up straight, he saw the way Alfred paled, he was like he was seeing someone killed after he heard the word suspension. The English boy was about to say the truth, right before the Italian cut in, Ludwig was going to take the word over the English boys word, since he was the one who was about to get punched and he was talking to Alfred the longest.
" Ve? Of course not silly~ Alfred here was trying to imitate a professional wrestler and he tripped! The other boy over there raced over to catch him, he was being nice! Alfred was just trying to socialize is all! I promise!" The Italian grinned ear to ear and he and the unseen Canadian left, though all they saw was the boy who was defending Alfred.
" Alright then, nevermind, it was my mistake" Ludwig said and he left the area, Alfred was astonished, he was about to punch the smaller brunette, and he just saved his hide from getting suspended from school, if he got suspended, his parents were going to kick him off the football team and make him stay home, and he was also not going to be able to go the baseball game he and his other friends were planning for months.
" Ve. That was close, i could of gotten clobbered" Feliciano said to himself as he was rounding the corner and he went to the doors to go outside, he sighed and he sat on the benches, though he failed to notice the Canadian staying in the shadows, he had a dark look on his face and he warped into a shadow for a moment, then back to the form he was in before that, he walked up the Feliciano and smiled, seemingly in contempt.
" It was nice of you to allow Alfred not to get in trouble, he was getting angry because i look like his brother and more than likely he didn't see me because when people don't want to see another, they seem to block the image from their sight, and work off of emotions… so sorry for that, also, i am sorry, but it have to go, i need to go and prepare for my other classes, i love to be extra early! See you eh?" Came the Canadians happy voice as he was walking off into a well shaded area of the school grounds and he walked inside the building.
" okay then… bye…" Feliciano was disappointed, he was hoping to have some company for just a little bit longer, but he guessed not, there was not much to be able to do anyway, he was just looking at the place where the other teen had went and thought on how lonely he was, he gave off a sigh and he got out his sketchpad, starting to draw. He made the intricate and rather delicate lines with ease as he lightly dragged his pencil across the paper with a look of small relieving grace.
Upon hearing the bell ring he went back into class, and he awaited yet another class, and they seemed to only be getting worse and worse by the period, slightly more confusing, that was not the bad part, but he felt the eyes of many people on him as he was doing his things, like homework and just sketching if he had the time, he also heard whispering as they were giving off strange faces at him when he was smiling to himself.
After school was over, he was heading to the busses, there they were, holding the many kids, and he got on the bus with a crane on it, he was sitting in the front seat, and he waits for his stop, he was still rather anxious, he was supposed to be going to another orphanage, but the thing was that he did not want to. What if this guy was mean, meaner than the last orphanage runner, but at the same time… what if he was…. Better? Should he just ditch the orphanage and go to his home in the woods? No… the police were going to find him, he might as well see how it goes right? If only it was easy having that much courage like other kids did, there were many things that Feliciano was, but none of them were too curious, and courageous
There were people laughing in the back of the but as it was driving along and he was listen to it as they were chattering away with each other, talking and complimenting or complaining about their day.
The bus driver was a gruff old man and he kept looking at the students in annoyance they played loud music and shouted out things at each other, some of it was derogatory and other were happy little chats they were having across the bus, spreading gossip, reading books, passing things back and forth, there were also a few kids sticking their heads out the window as well, it was only a matter of time before they got hurt.
After the very last kid was finally off of the bus and heading home, the bus driver looks at Feliciano, in which he actually appreciated because he was willing to be quiet and listen to directions unlike the rest of the children.
" Alright and you are the last stop of the day, correct mister Vargas?" Came the older man's voice as he was looking in the mirror to see the boy who was in a nearby seat and the boy smiled at him
" Yeay, my stop is nearby thank you for the ride mister Anderson!" The Italian said and he got off the bus as soon as it stopped, he rounded the corner of a couple blocks and he got to a shabby looking brick building that was labeled " Dmitry's Foster Care for Boys" the sign was even all bent up and it was it was very tattered, some of the paint was peeling and the wood crumbling off, there was a birds nest up there as well, and the ravens looked down at the teen as they were ready to go to their nest.
" Hello, i take it you are my newest arrival, Feliciano Vargas, am i Correct?" Came the middle aged man's voice, as the door was crept open only slightly ajar as there was this dull greyish blue eye looking out at the brunette who was holding his very few belongings under his right arm and his binder in his left with his 2 pencils, a pen, and a couple highlighters and markers. The man opens the door all the way, he was slightly shabby looking, almost like a human looking version of the house! He was very tall, and he bad a small build to him so he was no twig. His eyes were as ice cold and unwelcoming as the windows glass with the many scratches and the creepy drapes that were torn. His shoes were covered with brown teneshoes, that were covered in mud, much like the front porch that had shoes in the front, several pairs, about 6 or 7. His hair was as dark brown as the shadowing on the top of the ratty looking roof of the house that had some of its' tiles hanging off of it like someone was up there walking around, he put creepy to the capital y in his looks, and it was the same as either his or the houses mimicry
" Ciao! Ve, si i am, it is nice to meet you-" he was starting to smiled and he was about to continue when the man interrupted and he glared
" that is quite enough from you, now hurry up and get in here, and get to work, you are here because nobody wants you, and you are going to earn your ability to sleep inside, chop-chop and get to it" The man glared and he walked inside, the boy then followed, he was only here about 3 minutes and he was already scared! What was he going to do now?
" Go and stick your things in the room where all of the other boys are and hurry up and get to cleaning, if you do not have the bathroom done by 5:00 you do not get any dinner, got that?" Came the very snippy mans voice as he sat down and he started to drink on soda, watching t.v, he glared at Feliciano and the little male hurried and he scampered out of the room, to try and find the boys area where they were supposed to sleep, he did not find it until he got to the attic.
"Hey look, it's the new kid that mister Dmitri was talking about…" Came one of the whispers from the shadows and it was a little small, maybe it was a littler kid, then there was a louder, and more gruff, but slightly gentle voice
" I wonder why he is here to begin with, he said he was not allowed to take any more kids into his custody since he already had us in his house…"
" I'm not very sure, maybe we just need to wait and then see how it goes, who knows, maybe they made an exception for him to take this one, either that or he goaded them into giving him another kid to take care of, probably because he wanted more money for himself" came another, it was slightly lighter, and he was sounding like he was thinking about other things at the same time as he was talking, so he was kind of distant, and the others understood what he meant, they just did not understand how he was able to multi-task like that.
" Wait a minute…. I remember him!" Came the voice of one of the other kids Feliciano remembered from his childhood, it was filled with… excitement, and maybe happiness, that part, well Feliciano just didn't understand that much… there came another familiar voice
" NO way! Feli is that you?" Came a slightly lower toned voice, though it was just as much excited as the other, the Italian got nervous and he smiled and rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish look, though it was just covering up for him being scared, he was smiling and the other boys that were hidden by the darkness of the room stepped into the light a bit.
" Yeah, it's … me* He replied and he was waiting to see what was going to happen, he was still scared of getting hit and he kept his distance without being too obvious about it.
" Aw man! It is so awesome to see you again! I haven't seen you since you helped his in the last orphanage! Everyone thought you were dead!
"Ve!, Sorry about that!~ I didn't mean to worry you!" Came the small males voice and he smiled at the others again, this time he was a little less scared and more confident, he then waves and the others and smiled back at him, the one that was the most reluctant was the oldest one, who was rather tall, but he was not that lanky in the least.
" Where were you though? I haven't seen you in a long time, neither of us have. We have been here, it happened shortly after the old foster home/ Orphanage burned down, we were found by the police and they said the other children were not injured, and not long after that they had gotten adopted, so it worked out in the end i guess" Though he had a different name, he was always called Derek, and the other one was Josh
" Yeah, they looked for you for about a year before they gave up and they had considered the case cold… they found you where? How were you able to hide away for so long?" Josh asked and he looked at the shorter male and he tilted his head to the side as he was waiting for a response from the other boy and he smiled, though it was more in morbid curiosity as he was still looking at the other so directly.
" I was camping out in the forest, I found a cabin, and I was able to live there, there were three cabins i found, so i was able to go between the three, they don't know about the other two cabins, but the one they found was the closest one to town.
" Oh! Really? That is so cool, i wish i could get out of here, i do not want to be here, do you know exactly where the cabins are? Maybe we can make an escape together, the man that takes care of us, he is mean! He doesn't let any of us go to school, he makes us stay home, you have to go because the state had you in school first." Came Derek's voice and he seemed to get angry even as he just mentioned the man that took care of them, was he really that awful to them? Or were they just overreacting?
" Oh, i see, how about this, kay? I will live here for a little while to see how it goes, and if i think it is fine here and you still want to leave, i will show you to the cabin, and if i want to leave permanently, i will stay with you guys at the cabin then?" Feliciano asked and he looked over his shoulder as he was pulling the school books out of his backpack and he smiled
" Sure dude, it sounds cool! Let's-" Josh was starting to say happily
" YOU LITTLE RATS! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT AND GET TO WORK OR YOU WILL NOT GET ANY FOOD FROM ME AT ALL! YOU ARE NOT STAYING HERE FOR FREE! NOW GET TO CLEANING, THERE IS AN INSPECTION TOMORROW AND I WANT THIS PLACE TO BE SPOTLESS!" Bellowed the man from the lower area of the as the front door was slammed shut, making a picture in the downstairs living room fall to the ground and shatter.
" … Alright, let's go, i actually want to eat tonight…" The oldest one said and he got up, helping the smallest boy to his feet, the smaller boy smiled and thanked him for his help
" Hey, i got some food for you guys, since i was in school, after i was talking to someone in class and i had apples thrown at me from the back of the classroom, not to mention there is also an orchard nearby… have some, there are a bunch!" Feliciano smiled and he handed them each two, they had all thanked him unanimously, and scarfed them down like they hadn't eaten in days
" That is way better! Thanks Feli! Let's get to work! I feel a song coming on! I want to sing the cleaning away!" Derek smiled and he runs downstairs, the other boys following him, Feliciano laughed, yeah, he and other kids liked singing, that was an odd thing to have in common, but hey, it was fun and he had friends to sing with as well!
" I have an idea for the grouch, i made a theme song for him!" Josh smirked and he laughed as he starts to clap a beat for the song, the others join in as they cleaned the walls, bobbing their heads to the beat as well.
" Take out the papers and the trash. Or you don't get no spendin' cash, If you don't scrub that kitchen floor, You ain't gonna rock and roll no more. Yakety yak (don't talk back) just finish cleanin' up your room, Let's see that dust fly with that broom, Get all that garbage out of sight, Or you don't go out Friday night. Yakety yak (Don't talk back) You just put on your coat and hat, And walk yourself to the laundromat, And when you finish doin' that, Bring in the dog and put out the cat. Yakety yak (Don't talk back) Don't you give me no dirty looks, Your father's hip, he knows what cooks, Just tell your hoodlum friend outside, You ain't got time to take a ride. Yakety yak (Don't talk back) " By the time the end of the song came about, everyone was done with the living room and they were laughing like there was not a tomorrow to live. (NOT MY SONG)
" HAHAHAH! Thanks Josh! That was both funny and amazing! It suites him! Now if only he could afford half of the things you even brought up he would be the real life mirror image of the song dude!" Derek laughed and the other boys joined, Feliciano was grinning ear to ear as he was listening to them and he laughed as well.
" We better finish cleaning, i highly doubt he will feed us, but i don't want to be locked up there for 2 days again! That was scary!" The smaller kid laughed and they went back to cleaning, since the place was such a mess, it took about 4 hours to clean and they were all exhausted by the time they were done, they headed up to their dark attic and pretended to sleep by the time the caretaker got home.
The rest of the night was filled with the sounds of a horror movie going in the bottom of the house and the smell of cigarette smoke as it was wafting through the floorboards of the room, it was a lot so more than likely it was about the second pack of Camel 99's as the man was watching the loud show in his part of the house, which just happened to be most of it sadly, the attic seemed to get smaller and smaller as the boys slept, because it was so crowded
In the morning, Feliciano woke up to the sound of his alarm clock going off to get ready for school, he groaned a little bit and he rolled onto the floor, the other boys looked at him, then covered their ears as they were trying to sleep as long as they could before the caretaker got up, the good thing was that he was a very heavy sleeper.
" What's going on?" Derek asked as he sleepily got up and he rubbed his eyes, the other boys got up as well to see what the imperial sound was that dragged them from their dreamless fasting
" Sorry guys, it's my alarm, i have to go to school, i will be back in a few hours, alright? Sorry ve" Feliciano could not seem to apologize enough and the other boys all waved before they went back to bed and fell asleep almost instantaneously, while the italian was walking to the bus stop where he was supposed to be picked up from, which was almost a block away from where he was currently at, so yeah, he had a bit of a walk ahead of him today.
Getting to his bus stop, there was nobody really there, it was a part of town that was mostly not occupied and it was a very quiet place, though it seemed abandoned, Feliciano could feel the many ice cold eyes of people or other beings around him, almost the feeling of them getting closer and closer, it was making him very nervous, he disliked this feeling a lot, it was making him tremble as he was looking around himself. The bus pulls up then and he gets on in a slight rush, to escape the seemingly invisible eyes as he still felt watched.
The ride to school was very terrorizing, he was still stuck with Sadik near him as he was sitting down and the bully this time had a pea shooter on him, and he was hit in the head with the pea shooter about 6 times before that stopped, only to had paper and rocks thrown at him instead, so he was cowering behind his seat.
" Look! It's the little chicken, look at him as he is just hiding himself! HAHA! That's it, you little runt! Cower!" Sadik was smirking as the rocks were getting bigger and they were being thrown more frequently, the poor little foster child hid behind his seat as snuggly as he could and he whimpered, he wished this guy would stop, why was he so mean? The bus finally comes to a halt as it was parking in front of the school and everyone was filing off the bus to get to the school yard and meet up with their friends, chatting away happily, Feliciano wished he would of walked…
Heading into the school right away, he started to look around, they left the doors open today, so he might as well get accustomed to the school while he can, he shouldn't ask the german teen to help him again, he seemed peeved the last time so why bother anyway?
" Hello Feliciano, hey, uh…. I-Im sorry i yelled at you like that yesterday…" Came a familiar voice of the American boy from the day earlier
He was shaking, yeah, he was scared, what if he said the wrong thing again and that made him more upset? That was not going to be
good… should he say something? Probably, if he doesn't respond, he might only offend the American boy more than he did yesterday! "OH! Hey Al! It's fine, you just thought that and i am glad you said it to me though, i am sorry your brother is missing, please forgive me from yesterday…" Feliciano smiled and he turned to face the other
" Really? I was such a jerk yesterday! You shouldn't be able to forgive me for that, it was unacceptable…" Alfred said and he looked down and he rubbed the back of his head in shame and he seemed to be ready to run out of the room, but he just straightened up again and he gave a small smile " Thanks Feliciano, um…. Is it okay if i just call you 'Feli'? Like a nickname?" Alfred smiled and he offered out his hand to the other boy almost eagerly
" VE! I have never had a nickname before! I like it! Thanks Al! I have been calling you Al because i keep forgetting the rest of it, i remember from time to time, but i keep forgetting, so sorry! May, i ask your name again please?" The small teen asked as he looked at the other, who smiled, maybe Al was having a bad day yesterday? He seems fine now, maybe there is nothing to be scared about after all!
" OH! My name is Alfred! But if you call me 'Al' it is okay, i like the nickname and some of the others call me by the same nickname!" Alfred smiled and Feliciano smiled back happily, though the moment of peace and friendship was destroyed like a fine pane of glass being smashed on the ground, when the bell rang, Feliciano almost jumped three feet in the air in fright and surprise
" Ve~ See you Alfred, i need to go and get my other book out of my locker!" The small brunette smiled and he goes down the hallway, getting to the locker closer to the center of the row of tacky green lockers they had, not such a fantastic color, but it was not so bad either, so he guessed it was okay,it wasn't like he had to pack the thing around all day, that would've been weird
Heading to his class he sat down and started to sketch, it already started to feel like an hour and he was only in there a few minutes, was school going to be like this all year? He hoped not, and he was certainly sure if it was, he was going to be the first student to die from boredom and not of old age.
The classes after that were even slower, until he got to the one right before lunch, it was fairly quick, it was art class after all, it seemed to almost flutter by, then it was gone, if only he could have stayed longer, he was so happy when he was painting and drawing, he wished it was in every single class instead of just one.
Going to the cafeteria, he noticed a shadow watching him from the hallways near the music room, getting the chills, he walked to the place where he saw the shadow, it was empty, even the place near it was not occupied by anyone or anything, the teen shrugged it off, and he started to turn around when he heard piano music, it was alluring and beautiful as it seemed to glide across the air into his ears, his curiosity getting the best of him, he starts to walk to the place where he thinks he is hearing it come from, inside, he saw the music teacher, his name was mister Roderich, and next to him was the Hungarian girl he saw on his first day of school, yesterday… she was watching him play the piano with interest, she seemed to be rather happy as she watched, enthralled
"Hello, is there something i can help you with there boy?" The teacher asked and he looked to the boy who was watching and the boy backed up
"OH! No, sorry, i was just listening a little bit before i went to lunch…" Feliciano said and he quickly leaves the room, scurrying down the hallway to get to the crowded cafeteria
Roderich and the Hungarian girl look at each other in confusion before the music teacher continued to play the song he was composing
In the lunchroom, Feliciano sat down at a table where there were very little people and Matthieu showed up again, he smiled to the Italian and he sat down in front of him, though he was more agitated then the day before, he knew the American would ruin his plans, so he quickly made the Italian forget the other days conversation before he could even bring it up and he stuck with the greeting "Hello Feliciano, it is nice to see you again…" the Canadian 'boy' said as he smiled and sat down, getting to what he wanted to say
" Ciao Matthieu! How are you today?" Feliciano greeted and he smiled as he waved a little, and the Canadian boy smiled back, though there was some unknown malice not seen behind the smile he was carrying, and he got up, looking down to the Italian
" Hey, what do you say we go and eat outside, away from all of these other kids, it is a little too loud in here, and i have a bit of a headache…" he asked and the smaller male smiled and he followed him out the lunch room right as Alfred was walking by, the smaller brunette was smiling and acting the same as yesterday…
Getting outside, The Italian and the Canadian teens sit on the furthest benches from the school and the Canadian eats while he was talking to the hyperactive boy in front of him who was just enjoying the fresh air and such as what he needed, especially after hours of being cooped up in some of the classrooms
" Want to see some of my favorite places out here? I like it better out here then in doors, there is even a basement that nobody knows about here, it has a lot of things in it, and it is even sound proof!" Matthieu smiled and he seemed to be like a kid in a candy store, it was almost amusing to be honest
" Ve~ Okay, let's go! Lead the way Matthieu!" Feliciano smiled and he walked with the Canadian to the dark and scary looking basement, swallowing his fear as he looked down the dark vine of a tunnel, he follows the other down the stairs, and they get to the door, there is a musty smell in the place, it was making the Italian nauseous, he was getting a little dizzy, though the Canadian seemed unaffected, he continued to walk down the tunnel and he looks around to see what is there, but he saw nothing by the flashlight mathieu had on, until they get to a large door in the middle of the hallway.
