So here is the Secret Santa, I really hope you will like this! I know it's probably horrible, but I still can hope right? I made a lot of changes throughout, and this was the thing I was most happy with. I wanted to get deeper in the 'how they get there' moment, but that failed horribly...
Merry Christmas!
It was just another day at the Academy for Lovino "Lovi" Vargas, a fresh new senior. Together with his brother Feliciano, also known as Feli, they've been going to this school since their junior years. They both made friends, although Feliciano more than Lovino. It was very easy to see why though: Feliciano always smiles, makes delicious food, is always friendly and can hang out with everybody. Lovino, sadly, was the exact opposite from his younger brother. He was always grumpy, never smiled or laughed but scowled, cursed like a madman and he hang out with who were seen as the wrong guys: The Bad Touch Trio. The Bad Touch Trio, or BTT for short, was made out of three guys. Francis, the "perverted" Frenchman with too much love for everything. Antonio, the airy Spaniard who was the one to introduce Lovino, they've known each other since both were kids. And last was Gilbert, a so called albino Prussian who thinks he's "awesome" because he looks different. The three looked a bit mean, even dangerous, from the outside, but from the inside Lovino had found out that they're really nice and always in to have some fun.
But he hadn't thought of /this/ kind of fun.
Earlier that morning Gilbert had run up to him, exclaiming something about Christmas and something German the Italian had absolutely no idea about what it could be. By the time he had calmed him down (also known as hitting him with a book) the Prussian started to talk. "Lovi, you wanna make a bet with me?!" he asked with a grin, that made Lovino raise an eyebrow. "It's simple, promise! All we have to do is fake being a couple for Christmas and after new year we can quit it. I just need to prove I won't be single this Christmas to Francis, he says I'm a lonely idiot! I'm awesome!" the albino said with a grin. Lovino raised his other eyebrow at that, not interested at all. "You're getting half of the money, a hundred bucks!" the other said with a sigh, and Lovino agreed. He really needed the money to pay for the rent of his house, it wasn't cheap to live in the city and his brother got fired on every job he tried.
So that's how Lovino now ended up walking through the halls, even more angry and depressed than normal. 'The hell will I do this?! Damn that bastard, I can't just fake love!' he screamed out in his head, but his eyes darkened when he saw the albino come up to him. Their eyes met and the other smiled at him, and then they grabbed each other's hand and walked to their next classes. It earned them a lot of staring, which only made Lovino grumpier and Gilbert happier. "So, are you excited for Christmas?" Gilbert asked happily, like none of the stares ever hit him or got noticed by his ruby eyes. "Shut the hell up, potato bastard." Lovino snapped at him, earning some more stares from their classmates. "Ksesese, I was just asking! Is little Lovi so humbled to be around the awesome me?" "Like hell, I'm glad when this stupid thing is over and I get my money." Gilbert pouted a little at this and couldn't help pecking the others lips, who in his turn turned bright red and pushed him away. After that he stormed off to home, leaving a startled Gilbert alone.
The next day Lovino didn't go to school, the day after he still wasn't there. Then the vacation started, meaning Christmas was soon there. And by now, Gilbert was getting worried about his Italian friend.
It was two days before Christmas now, and Lovino was getting sick of everything already. Yes, he had bought a few small gifts for Gilbert, and yes he had helped his brother decorate their house. But he couldn't care less about Christmas now, mostly because said brother was on the couch sucking the face off of Ludwig, the younger brother of Gilbert. The two have been dating for over two years, probably, he didn't really care much for counting it all out. "Can't you two stop sucking each other's faces?" he snapped at his brother, who blushed bright red and let go. "But Lovi, you are with Gilbert too right? Why can't I be with Ludwig when you can be with him?" The older just growled and walked away, he couldn't tell it was all fake just yet, and that was horrible. In the kitchen he got a glass of wine, and then texted Gilbert.
To: Potato Bastard
Time: 18:03
'Can't you get your bastard brother out of my house?!'
To: Mein Tomato
Time: 18:03
'Ksesese, I can't stop bruder. But I can come help you ;)'
To: Potato Bastard
Time: 18:08
'Get lost bastard.'
To: Mein Tomato
Time: 18:09
'I already got lost, in your eyes ;)'
This continued for another few hour or so, Lovino snapping and Gilbert sending him rather flirting texts. Lovino knew he should be annoyed, but after a while he started to enjoy the texts and they kept going through the night.
To: Mein Tomato
Time: 2:01
'Lovi, go get some sleep. Your last text said 666666djiedf.'
But Lovino didn't answer, fallen asleep already. And on the other side of town, Gilbert couldn't help but smile at that idea.
