Lovino pressed his hands to his forehead as he listened to mommy and daddy fight again. Why was it like this every night? Why couldn't they just be nice and love each other? His five year old mind reeled as he tried his hardest to answer the questions that plagued his mind. His mind blanked though when he the house shook slightly from the force of the front door slamming signaling his mothers departure from the house.

It was at this point that Lovino finally broke down his small frame shaking from the sobs that racked his body. Even though his parents had stopped the voices in his head continued playing out the scene that had just happened. He wanted to run after his mother scream for her to come back and never leave him. Yet he stayed rooted to his spot letting the over whelming sadness take over and fog his mind trying to block out the reality of what was going on.

He stayed like that until soft steps in his direction brought him back to reality. Wiping the tears from his eyes he looked up coming eye to eye with a cheerful boy. Standing up startled by the others sudden appearance he moved back a little unsure. The other boy approached him until they where toe to toe smiling he pulled the other into a tight embrace whispering soothing words into his ears.

From that moment on Lovino never felt alone. The boy who's name he learned was Romano was always with him. When he was at the park they would play together on the swings and on the slide he was the only friend Lovino had but he didn't care. Romano listened to Lovino even when he was being boring and taking about his parent's. And when Lovino was alone at school or home Romano would whisper in his ear. At first it had scared Lovino because he couldn't see him but soon he began to expect it of the other. And once again he was able to live in solitude from his class mates and family.

But as Lovino got older he noticed that Romano got seemingly more possessive not letting him make friends or be social with his father or Grandpa who he now lived. Sometimes Romano would even be mean to him when he tried to talk to other people. Honestly Romano scared Lovino with how violent he could be. But he couldn't part from the other he was his only friend and he had been there to sooth him when he was upset. He was better off with him than without him and Lovino would never let him go.

Present time~

Lovino grimaced the light in his eyes blinding him as he sat up yawning loudly stretching languidly and throwing his legs over the side of the bed. Standing up he rubbed his eyes and dragged his feet down the hall and slipping into the bathroom. Turning on the shower he hopped into the searing hot water and began to scrub himself down.

'Good morning Lovi~' He heard Romano's distinct voice whisper into his ear. Smiling slightly he looked around knowing he was there he just couldn't see him.

"Morning Romano" He murmured back stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel and wrapping it around himself. Before making his way down the hall to his room getting ready for school throwing on his school uniform and grabbing his bag. And making his way downstairs talking to Romano the whole way. Sitting down across from his brother he didn't speak as his food was place in front of him.

His brother had once tried to tell him Romano wasn't real he had smacked the other and then gotten sent to his room. After that he and his brother rarely talked at home or at school but he didn't need his brother he was fine it was just him and Romano. That was all he would ever need.
