Chapter 1

The Same

Sigh.

It was way too damn early for a meeting, if it wasn't for Lovinos brother Feliciano and his arse of a boyfriend- or whatever their relationship was, Lovino honestly didn't give a damn- he would be home now sleeping in. Lovino and Feliciano were actually twins and although they have their similarities they are completely different, in fact opposites. Futhermore, they didnt look exactly alike, Lovino was tanner and his hair was darker whereas Feliciano was light complected and had light auburn hair. As for personality, in everyones opinion, Feliciano was more loveable and attractive. It wasn't Lovino's fault everyone thought of him as unlikable, everyone else was just simply not as understanding and quick to judge. Lovino has always been this way ever since he was a child, after it was their grandfather who had sent him away and kept Feliciano... Yeah that's what did it. After which, Lovino had become incredibly sad and defensive against anyone who he thought would hurt him. Can't be hurt if you hurt them first, is what Lovino often thought.

Lovino watched Feliciano jump around, slightly annoying a blonde haired german named Ludwig. Felicianos whatever. They were always together so anyone can assume that they are more then just allies. Lovino glared slightly, oh how he hated them right now. For one, it was really early if he hasn't mentioned it a hundred times already. And second, they are publically showing affection in the meeting room! If they kiss or hug in front of Lovino again, he will be sure he would vomit. Yes, it has happened in front of him. One time Lovino was going down to make himself a hot cup of cocoa and before reaching the kitchen he witnessed Feliciano and Ludwig on the couch in front of the fireplace going in for a kiss. How dare Feliciano do such a disgusting thing on the couch he would use to read or watch tv.

Lovino sighed once more and placed his head on his arms that are crossed on the table in front of him. Maybe if he just went to sleep no one would notice he was even there. After all the only "Italy" people seemed to care more for was his brother. Lovino adjusted himself comfortably and hid his face away in the open space between his crossed arms, and closed his eyes trying his best to block out the others voices as more and more countries started flooding in. Lovino had placed himself the farthest away at the very edge of the table so no one would bother him, so you can imagine how annoyed he suddenly got when he heard someone bring the chair that was next to him out and sat themselves down. Lovino didn't physically react to whoever was sitting next to him, he thought if he just pretended he was asleep then they would not bother him.

The person that decided to sit next to Lovino poked Lovinos hair over and over again, "Pssst. Hey. Wake up."

Fuck, he was wrong. Just ignore him.

The man shifted his poking to Lovinos side and this made him seize upright and immediately glare at the man. "What?!"

The man, Lovino now saw, was none other then Ludwigs older brother Gilbert. He was five times more annoying in Lovino's opinion, especially when he has that smug face he always wears even now. Gilbert was hyperactive and childish and always bothered Lovino whenever he saw the chance. Gilbert has much lighter skin compared to his younger brother, in fact his appearance was similar to an albinos with his porcelain skin, silver hair, and redish violet eyes. Lovino didn't understand why Gilbert always bothers him and when he asked all he would say is that he thought Lovino is hilarious although Lovino never once cracked a joke with him. Personally, Lovino thought it is because Gilbert wants to get closer to Feliciano through Lovino or that Gilbert saw he couldn't take Feliciano since him and Ludwig are a thing so he just decided to talk to Lovino instead. Both thoughts angered Lovino immensely.

Gilbert flashed Lovino a smile, obviously overlooking the anger and annoyance upon the italian's face. "Well good morning sunshine! I thought you were dead for a moment there!"

"If I was would you leave me alone then bastard!?"

"Someone slept on the wrong side of the bed~" Gilbert gave Lovino a soft smirk. "Didn't have your coffee this morning?"

"Ugh, i hate how much of a morning person you are. Almost as bad as Feli. Leave me alone and let me sleep," Lovino said as he proceeded to lay his head back down on his arms.

"Aw no come on! You can sleep later! I need you to entertain me."

Lovino glared at him once more, "I am not your puppet you can just request for entertainment and expect me to put on a show for you!"

Gilbert smiled once more for reasons Lovino had no idea of. He should just smack that smile right off his face. See if he is smiling then! Lovino opened his mouth to tell him off more then stopped when he saw Gilbert slide a mug over to him. Lovino looked down at the mug and saw it was full of steaming hot coffee. Lovino blinked taken aback slightly, he can smell the coffee from the mug, it was a light roasted coffee with enough creamer to make the coffee a light brown color similar to Lovinos uniform. Was that vanilla? Must be from the creamer. Lovino shook his thoughts of the coffee away and looked at Gilbert for an explanation.

Gilbert chuckled. "Its for you. I brewed it when I saw you dead on the table. This should wake you up!"

Lovino looked at the cup of coffee. Gilbert brewed this coffee for him? Lovino wasn't even aware of the coffee machine on the table on the far side of the room along with some snacks. Lovino considered taking the cup but if he did what if Gilbert would think Lovino was grateful of him and would think of they would become buddies? The aroma reached Lovinos nostrils once more as if screaming to be drunk.

Gilbert laughed, "It wont bite Lovi! Its just coffee!"

"Shut up bastard! Don't call me that as if we are friends! I am drinking this but only because I am too tired to make my own coffee!" Lovino grabbed the mugs handle. "It better taste good."

Gilbert smiled satisfied even though what Lovino had just told him. Lovino carefully sipped the hot beverage and was instantly glad he did. The coffee was so warm and felt so refreshing going down his throat, even the sweetness is at the correct level. Lovino set down the mug and met eyes with Gilbert, was he watching him drink the coffee? Is he expecting for Lovino to say something?

"Is it good?" Gilbert looked at him hopefully.

"Yeah.. i guess its okay." Lovino lied, it was invigorating. Lovino took more sips, looking away from Gilbert.

Gilbert was excited to have made the coffee good enough to have Lovino drink it. The meeting finally began once everyone had arrived and Lovino paid not much attention, he kept sipping his cup of coffee and soon was waking up more. Unfortunately, to Gilbert this meant to him that he can continue to bother Lovino which made Lovino even more distracted from the meetings discussions. At one point Ludwig told Gilbert to shut up and Gilbert proceeded to pass notes to Lovino as if they were in kindergarden!

Honestly, why was Gilbert so determined to talk to him?

The meeting soon came to an end and that second Lovino got up, ready to leave. Another pointless meeting. Gilbert got up too and took Lovinos arm and he stopped and looked at him confused, "Let go of my arm."

Gilbert let go and quickly asked, "Hey do you need a ride back home?"

Lovino furrowed his eyebrows, "What? No I have a ride. I came with Feliciano and Ludwig."

Gilbert smiled, yet again."I heared they were going out to eat or something! Most likely a date! I can take you home!"

Lovino frowned, how dare they go out to eat without inviting him. Gilbert saw him frown and quickly replied,"Unless you're hungry! We can go out to eat! Ooooh i can taste sausages now just thinking of it~"

Lovino gave him a disgusted face, "Out to eat with you? Please... Why would I? I can just make my own food!"

"I will pay~"

Well if he is insisting...

No what is he thinking? Go out to eat with this annoying albino bastard? As if they were on a date! Lovino sighs, for he cannot pass on free food.

"Fine.. but you will take me home first to change!" Lovino started for the door before Gilbert could answer.

Gilbert hurried after Lovino and then lead the way out to his car where they both got in and headed toward Lovino's home. Gilbert was grinning and singing terribly to the music on the radio to the point that Lovino wondered if he could jump out of the car and survive.

They made it to Lovino's house and immediately the tanned skinned italian ordered that Gilbert stay in the car and wait for him, and left the car before Gilbert could protest. As Lovino walked into his home he did not notice Gilbert smiling after him and then bringing down the cars mirror to check his teeth for any imperfections and adjusted his hair neatly. Gilbert began to search for his cologne he kept in his car for emergencies, meanwhile Lovino was getting dressed comfortably yet stylish as he often did. Lovino was looking himself over, adjusting his scarf. Lovino proceeded to apply cologne and stopped mid-spray. Why was he getting all dressed for? He looked at the spray and realized he only wore this cologne when he was going out to catch some ladies attention. He quickly placed the spray down and shook his head and headed out the door.

Lovino walked to Gilberts car and met those red-violet eyes looking right at him and for some reason this gaze made Lovinos face redden up. Why? No clue. Lovino got into the car and buckled up and looked at Gilbert when he was oddly quiet. "What?"

Gilbert straightened up. "Oh! Nothing! Is that cologne i smell?~ Got all nice for me did you Lovi?~"

Lovino's face went crimson and puffed out his cheeks in annoyance. "Of course not! I always dress nice bastard so don't go thinking you're special!"

Gilbert laughed,"Sure Sure! I know you're just dying to go on a date with me~"

"As if! Just drive before I change my mind!" Lovino looked away out the window and crossed his arms. And just as he did Gilbert reached over and stroked his chestnut hair softly, Lovino darted his gaze at Gilbert, taken aback. As expected Gilbert was smiling but this smile was different. It was tender and his gaze upon Lovino made his heart skip a beat, it looked like it was longing for something. Lovino has never seen this look on Gilbert and wasn't sure if he liked it. Lovino quicky pushed Gilberts hand away off his hair. "Stop touching me you weirdo."

Gilbert said nothing but just gave a small chuckle and turned up the music and started driving.

What was that? Lovino's heart was racing and his face was burning up, he was thankful that it was chilly outside or else he would've been sweating with the overwhelming heat coming off of him.

Lovino wondered if he was just seeing things because that moment after Gilbert was back to his annoying self, singing terribly yet again. Lovino had to yell at him to keep his hands on the wheel as he was beginning to play air guitar. 'I don't want to die in this car with you' he added when Gilbert finally decided to put his hands back on the wheel.

Lovino had quickly forgotten about Gilberts sudden touch and gentle smile from earlier, and they were now at the restaurant Gilbert picked out for them. Lovino recognized the place instantly, it was his favorite place to go out to eat. He would often go with Feliciano who would sometimes bring Ludwig along as well much to Lovino's disgust, but nevertheless he enjoyed the food no matter who joined him. This isn't what surprised him. How did Gilbert know? Before Lovino couold ask, Gilbert spoke first.

"Remember the last time we were here? It was so long ago but Feliciano and West invited me and you were there too! I happened to catch you saying this was your favorite place to eat while you were talking to Feliciano! So i thought we come here today!" Him and Gilbert walked in together as he recalled this memory to Lovino. Well shit how long ago was that? Thought Lovino. Then just as suddenly after thinking that he distinctively remembered sitting next to Gilbert, judging him for getting a sandwich instead of one of the many tasty pastas the restaurant had available. Telling him after all the appetizing choices suggested he chose a simple sandwich.

"That was so long ago! How could you remember such a conversation with my fratello? Also you are a creep for listening in on our conversation and remembering it!" Lovino lied through his red cheeks. He tried to hide the fact he was grateful that Gilbert remembered and brought him here. Even so, Lovino was ready to eat and go back home. It was strange seeing Gilbert be oddly thoughtful and ... sweet.

Gilbert smirked, "Oh shut up and just thank me! Or else you would be eating at my favorite restaurant! Mouthwatering german cuisine~~ Sausages, bratwursts, and beer! Oh my~~" He laughed his loud laugh making others in the restaurant turn their heads at them to see what was so funny. Gilbert then recieved a slap on his arm from the tomato faced italian. They both sat at the booth table across from each other and Lovino quickly picked up his menu and hid his face away from Gilbert. So embarrassing... Lovino thought.

He looked through the menu wondering if he should get something he has already tried or something new. Gilbert also was looking through the menu heading towards the sandwiches and Lovino noticed this and slammed down Gilberts menu, startling him.

"For the love of god please don't get a sandwich again! Try something good!" Lovino pouted.

Gilbert grinned, "I did get that last time didn't I? Aw you remembered~"

Lovinos eyes widened and brought his hand back in a quick arm cross. "Oh shut it!" Why did Lovino cared what Gilbert was going to eat? He just can't get something so plain in a delectable restaurant like this damn it! "Here get something off this page," he demanded, flipping through the menu.

Gilbert skimmed through the page Lovino requested. "Hmm.. Oh! Lets get this pizza! Is it big? We can share it. And I will get an appetizer too! We can share that too."

Gilberts eyes brightened up at the thought of them getting something they can both enjoy.

Lovino looked at what pizza he was pointing at, "Share food with you? What if you leave me with nothing with your fat ass?" But then again Lovino thought it over. It was only lunch and he figured he shouldn't eat very heavy anyways. "Fine but only if we get this one instead." He pointed at the margherita pizza.

Gilbert read over the ingredients and made a face, "No meat?"

"Not every meal has to include meat! Isn't sausages in the morning enough for one day?" Lovino was only giving an example but Gilbert actually did have wurst that morning.

Gilbert gave a mischievous smirk, "I like sausages in the morning~~"

Lovino narrowed his eyes in confusion, then he got the joke. "Oh my god you are gross!"

Gilbert cracked up at his successful dirty joke. After he ws done they aggreed they would get a split pizza with their favorite toppings and Lovino's choice of appetizers. They soon told the waitress their order and ate just moments after. Lovino loved every bit of the food and overlooked the fact he was across that annoying albino red eyed bastard. Honestly, give Lovino good food and he will be a happy italian. Lovino actually cracked a smile here and there, Gilbert noticed, at some of the stupid comments Gilbert would make. Gilbert often commented how awesome the food was and Lovino would smirk telling him 'I told you so bastardo.'

Gilbert pulled up to Lovino's home at the end of their lunch, Lovino started for the car door. Gilbert looked at him and poked Lovino's side in which he reacted with a startled jerk. He turned to glare at the albino man, "What was that for?"

"You are ticklish aren't you Lovi?~~"

"Shut up no I'm not!"

Gilbert chuckled softly and leaned in close to Lovino. Lovino's eyes widened and froze watching him inch closer to his face and he felt his skin start to heat up, why couldn't he move? What was Gilbert going to do? Lovino's breathing started getting heavier as if someone was blocking his air way. Gilbert reached over on the other side of Lovino and opened the car door for him. Gilbert smirked as if he planned that whole thing to try to scare Lovino.

"I will see you at the next meeting," Gilbert looked him over while Lovino tried to gather his breathing back.

Lovino slid out of the opened car door swiftly and shut the door behind and hurried up the front door, opened it, and ran inside without looking back. Lovino didn't waste a moment and surely didn't notice Feliciano greeting him just across the room, and went straight up the stairs to his room. Lovino slammed the door behind him and leaned against it, panting as if he ran a marathon. Heart racing. Cheeks crimson.

What the fuck was this?

One thing was certain. Next time he saw that bastard, he was going to kill him.
