Action in this chapter. Make over a dinner of, yup, SPAGHETTI! BE JEALOUS! *ahem* on we go.

Don't Forget Me

Ludwig's mouth dropped open. Feliciano's eyes sparkled with cheer. Lovino had just told them that he and Antonio where engaged.

All four of them where sitting around the Italies living room drinking coffee. Lovino had been quite excited to inform his brother, but there was no reason for HIM to know that. He quickly hide his growing smile behind his cup as he took a drink.

"Veh~! Oh Lovi!" Feliciano lept up and ran to his twin, wrapping his arms around his neck. "I'm so happy for you two! When?" He said excitedly.

"June 20th," Antonio said.

"Oh this will be so wonderful! The first day of summer! It's going to be beautiful! Isn't it wonderful Luddy?" Felicano asked.

Ludwig smiled at the two. "Ja. Congratulations Lovino, Antonio."

Lovino did something no one expected. He smiled right back at Ludwig and said, "Thank you very much Ludwig. I hope you and even you brother can come."

Antonio squealed and pulled him into a hug. Ludwig and Feliciano looked pleasantly surprised.

"Veh? Lovi? Does this mean...?" Feliciano trailed off, barley daring to get his hopes up.

"Si, Feli. I want you two to be happy together," Lovino smiled softly.

Feliciano through himself onto his brother and hugged him. Ludwig shook his hand joyfully.

"Who else knows?" Ludwig asked.

"Only you so far," Antonio said. "Lovi really wanted his brother to be the first to know."

"Aww~! Grazie fratello~," Feliciano said.

Lovino blushed. "Yeah, yeah," he muttered but the smile remained.

"Oh! Let's tell people now!" Feliciano called, snatching up his phone.

"Really? You'll help us get the word out?" Lovino asked.

"Veh~. Techniquly, we only need to tell Gilbert. Then before we know it, everybody with have heard!" Feliciano said.

Lovino laughed, yet another rare thing for him to do.

Less than 5 minutes after Gilbert had been sent the message, (Veh~! Gil guess what! Lovi and Tonio are getting married!) then all four of their cell phone started blowin' up.

They happily replied to the messages. When things had finally started to calm down, Lovino and Feliciano made pasta and they ate their first non-violent dinner together.

Then something happened that changed the mood entirely. The Spanish and German nation had no idea what was wrong. One minute the Italies where happy and laughing, the next both had frozen, looks of mixed anger, fear, and annoyance on both of their faces.

"Shit, not now, veh." If not for the 'veh' the others would have guessed Lovino had spoken. The two became aware of a ringing sound coming from the kitchen.

The Italians stood and went into the room, not noticing that their lovers had followed. They started at the ringing phone as if it would bite them if they came to close.

"Let me answer it, fratello," Feliciano said.

"No. I'll do it. I know how to deal with them and you don't," Lovino insisted.

"Fratello, it's almost your special day. I won't let them ruin it," Feliciano reached for the phone. As soon as it was in his hand, however, Lovino hit the speaker phone button.

"Veh, ciao?" Feliciano asked.

"Ah. Mr. Veneziano. Just the man we wanted," a smooth, silky voice said. Ludwig became aware of a sudden urge to rip the phone away and through it across the room.

"Hey," Lovino said, "I'm here to."

"A-ah. M-mr. Romano. How nice to hear your voice," the speaker became obviously agitated.

"Well?" Lovino demanded. "What the fuck do you want?"

"W-well you see we would just like to give Mr. Veneziano a little something. To help him on his way." Was that fear they heard in the voice?

"Veh. That depends on where I need to go for it," Feliciano said coldly. Ludwig and Antonio looked shocked but didn't say anything.

"Just outside you house. We came to deliver it personally," the voice said, regaining a little of it's smoothness.

"Alright. Fine. I'm coming," Feliciano said, before hanging up.

Lovino followed slightly behind his twin as they moved towards the door.

"Who was that?" Ludwig and Antonio asked together.

Lovino glanced at them from the corner of his eye. "The Mafia," he said, tonelessly.

Feliciano reached for the doorknob and to Lovino everything seemed to slow. He had heard a noise on the other side of that door. A noise he knew well. The cocking of a gun. After years and years of hearing this same sound, his ears had automatically searched for it everywhere.

Lovino sprinted forward just as Feliciano opened the door. He slammed sideways into him, knocking his brother flat. The gun went off. Lovino stood, framed in the doorway by the headlights of the car outside. Feliciano looked up in terror and saw the life leave his twins body.

Lovino slowly fell. Antonio ran forward and caught him, screaming his name. Lovino had a vague sense of pain in his head and he noticed he could no longer hear. He felt something warm dripping from his head but he was to tired to investigate. Yeah, sleep. That sounded nice. But why did Tonio look so sad? He was only taking a nap. He'd wake up again in a little while. No need to cry...

His head fell limply onto Antonio's arm. Antonio screamed. Ludwig stood in shock, unsure of how to react. None of his manuals had ever said what to do if this situation arouse.

Surprisingly, it was Feliciano who reacted first. He stood and pulled something from his pocket. The hit man seemed to suddenly understand that he had hit the wrong target.

"Motherfu-!" was the last thing that left his mouth before Feliciano's own bullet hit him squarely between the eyes.

The blast seemed to bring Antonio and Ludwig back into action. Feliciano retreated back to his twins side. He took him from Antonio and began to sob.

The two remaining Nations stood and exited the house. Antonio pulled the door shut behind them. The next 10 minutes, maybe longer Feliciano couldn't tell, was filled with terrified cries, angry screams, gun shots, and gurgles as if someone was trying to breath threw a slashed throat.

Feliciano layed his head on Lovino's chest and continued to cry. 'No,' he thought. 'No this wasn't suppose to happen. Lovi was suppose to get married and finally be happy, not here. Not dead in my arms. Killed for my sake.' His sobbes renewed themselves.

Ludwig and Antonio reentered. Feliciano couldn't bring himself to look into the accusing glare he was positive was being aimed at him by Antonio. He was startled when two sets of arms encompassed him.

"Feli~. Shh. It's alright. It's alright. This isn't your fault," Antonio whispered.

"Mein libeling. It's going to be fine. I promise. I promise," Ludwig said gently. Feliciano again put his head over where Lovino's heart should have been beating. God, he could still imagine it going thump...thump...thump...

Wait. Thump...thump...thump...

"LOVINO!" Feliciano screamed. The other two, shocked be his outburst fell back. "He's alive! We need to get him to a hospital! NOW!"

The three Nations jumped into action and in no time at all, Lovino was checked safely into a room.

"How did he survive?" Antonio asked. He was so beyond relief that the moment they had rolled Lovino away for surgery, his legs had collapsed.

"We are Nations," Ludwig said, watching the doors. "We don't go down that easily."

"Lovi," Feliciano whispered, wondering if it was truly possible and that his dear twin would soon be back with him.

...~Love is always with us~...
