Angsty Romano. Angsty Canada. Those are my two must-haves when it comes to fanfics, and frankly, I'm feeling rather angsty right now. So feel free to cry or whatever. Sorry, I'm writing this at 2 AM so I'm pretty tired. I'm not sure if this will be RomaCan, or Spamano and PruCan. You guys can decide.

Prologue

Lovino used to have friends, but they were all taken by his brother Feliciano. Matthew used to be loved, but the attention was taken by his brother Alfred. Now they are roommates in college, having moved out of their houses as soon as possible, and all they have is each other.

Believe it or not, Lovino's best friends were once Ludwig, Bella, and Antonio, and he was very cheerful and bright. Then his brother came back from living with their nonno while Lovino had stayed with his aunt. When his friends met perfect little Feliciano, he felt that everyone was drifting away from him in favor of his brother. So he turned to the dark side and became bitter and cold. No, he no longer trusted anyone who didn't know his pain. That's why he trusts Matthew.

Before Matthew met his older brother, he lived with his mother, Francine, who always smothered him with love, and he was perfectly content. Then he met his father, Oliver, and his brother, who was a year older than him. At first, everything was great, perfect even, but soon Matthew faded to the background while his parents smothered loud attention-seeking Alfred. Then his existence became nothing but a forgotten memory, and he became quiet and un-assuming. He trusted no one but someone who had also turned to the dark side. That's why he trusts Lovino.

They met the summer before middle school when they both happened to be thinking of what went wrong in their lives at the park. Lovino was sitting against a tree, eating a tomato, and Matthew was sitting on the swing. They both commented out loud on how their lives sucked, and looked at each other, surprised that someone felt the same way they did. A conversation started and they soon became each other's best and only friends. Since then, they were inseparable.

They were lucky enough to get accepted into World Academy and share the same dorm. Unfortunately, so did their siblings. They always just ignored them though, for they could care less about them. Whoever happened to see them, which was not often, they would always be seen whispering to each other. They didn't dare say anything loud enough for anyone else to hear.

Lovino had quickly learned that Matthew held more anger than he thought, and Matthew learned that Lovino held more childish thoughts than anyone could assume. They both kept themselves from doing any harm to each other by just being there. They would forever be best friends.

Together, they will conquer the world. They would let everyone know that they are still alive and they will live on. From the beginning, they have been together through thick and thin. No matter what may happen, no matter who else they lose, they will always have each other. They will always trust that the other will be there. The people who roughly put them aside will know that they have broken them, but they are okay. Because they found someone who would always be with them.

Their world was a strong one, bound together by sheer friendship and strength. They think of themselves as weak for getting depressed over such small matters, but I know that that is not the case. They are strong, for they have gone through pain and suffering, but are still able to hold themselves strong. One day, I hope they realize it. For I have been long gone, but I will tell their story.

Who am I? How do I know Lovino and Matthew? I am the one person who they trusted other than each other. And we were supposed to be a trio forever.

Best friends. Forever and always.
