A drizzle of rain, accompanied by a pleasantly dark night sky, illuminated with several glowing orbs. Lovino smiled contently to himself – the atmosphere was soothing out his bad mood. His voice faded with the breezy wind and his thoughts were calming down along with the roaring sea. A glint of silver flashed beneath him, and down below his dangling feet he saw his own reflection in the pure clear water. Hazel eyes stared into his, emitting shivers down his spine. His hair was messy from the weather; his face looked haunted with sorrows.

And that was when Lovino felt the all too familiar dark shadow dominate his very being once again. The void he cannot escape. His body suddenly felt all too cold, his blood draining from his face. Threatening whispers told stories of his failures, his imperfections and his flaws – reminding him that he was unwanted, trash, a nuisance to his all too perfect family.

Family. Not even they wanted him. A silent cry echoed within Lovino, despairing on why he could not just be like his perfect brother. Pain would spread through his body every time he saw Feliciano. Jealousy. Envy. Oh, how he desired to replace the unpleasant scowl on his face with a carefree smile. How he would love to be acknowledged as something more than a vulgar brat. How he would love to have friends, instead of being hated. But something went wrong, and he was not granted with such luck. He would always be the crack on the perfect surface, the ugly concealed blemish on one's skin, the red stain on your brand new shirt. Lovino was born to live second to his brother- always hiding in his shadow.

The dark void of depression turned blacker and blacker, and before Lovino knew it, he was in too deep. He looked at the sea- the sea that understood him. Its surface mirrored him – broken, undesirable, lonely. He could do it. A simple jump to join his only companion into a deep and peaceful slumber. No more regrets, no more sins, no more sadness. The sea would welcome him with open arms and it would not judge him for his flaws. No, the sea can wash his pain away; wash away the blood that stains his rotting flesh, the engraved hidden scars beneath his skin. He could be free. He won't need to live this suffocating life anymore. He could finally disappear from this destructed world.

Lovino let out a shaky breath as he stood up. The rock beneath him wobbled slightly, eliciting a gasp from him. Above him, a million stars shone their magic upon his soul, encouraging him to join them. Down here, on the rusty cold surface of the Earth, he was merely an insignificant number. Just that one creature in a million. No one will notice if he was gone, no one would even care. In fact, he would be doing the world a favour, ridding them of this vile and gruesome tumour. With the needed rush of determination and encouragement, Lovino stepped forward, closer to the wailing waves. With one final breath, Lovino shifted his feet ahead once more, as it landed onto empty space.

A smile tugged on his lips. He was so close to his desired freedom… so close to escape.

And in that moment, he felt purely at bliss when death embraced him.

Antonio's mind had been so occupied by this perfect Italian, that his situation of being lost was completely forgotten. His heart pounded against his chest as he watched those soft and delicate lips move, producing the most serene and beautiful sound. Not understanding the Italian lyrics, Antonio still felt the sorrow and hurt behind the words- and his beating heart ached to know this man in front of him was unhappy. All the Spaniard wanted to do at that moment was to wrap his arms around the delicate and fragile body, holding him close and to never let him go. He didn't know why he felt this way- all he knew was the immediate attraction and interest he had to this person, the sudden desire to lift the corners of his mouth up, to hear him laugh and smile. A sigh escaped Antonio's lips. He cannot believe how fast it had taken him to fall for this country, and one particular person in it.

Talking about falling, did he just see something drop into the –

Panic surged through Antonio's body. Where did he go? He shut his eyes tightly before opening them again hoping that the figure atop the rock a few seconds ago would appear again. No such luck, he was gone. Evaporated right into thin air. The beautiful man suddenly felt like a dream, merely a figment of Antonio's vibrant imagination.

Trying not to feel disappointed by this new revelation, his hope was revived when he heard alarming splashes nearby. Knitting his eyebrows together in confusion and terror, Antonio walked closer to the now lonely rock and peered over it. Right beneath the cliff was the wide and vast sea. It would have been a pretty sight to see - the moonlight reflecting against the liquid surface, illuminating it in a bright mysterious glow – if it weren't for the odd yet familiar struggling, drowning body in it.

"Shit!" Antonio cursed, which he rarely did. Dread consumed his being as his mind struggled to think of what to do. His heart was hitting his ribcage at a painful speed, each reminding him of the little time he has left to decide on his future actions. His eyes widened as the flailing in the water begin to slow down, and realisation that the Italian man he had admired for a few minutes could potentially disappear from this world forever, hit him with a sudden force. No, the mere thought of that sent unknown stabbing pains right into his heart. Antonio couldn't let that happen, he would never be able to live his life the same again if he did.

So he did the only thing he could. Antonio ripped his shoes off in a hurry, and dived right into the sea. His thoughts were filled with the Italian, his ears capturing his sweet voice as he let the water swallow him whole.
