Cyanide: Okay! I'm back and uploading Chapter 2! *Disco Pogo starts playing*
Okay, enough with the festivities. For now. I'm uploading from school, but I bet you don't care.
So, on with the story!
She hid quickly and stopped breathing so she wouldn't make a sound, pressing herself against the wall of a building, thanking God that she decided to wear her black hoodie.
After a few seconds, he only saw the darkness of the alleyway and continued home. A few minutes later he ended up at his house, the door still open from the break in. The lock was useless now, smashed by the people who ransacked his apartment.
She followed him silently, clutching her own pocket knife.
The teenager didn't notice her and left the door wide open, his place still a mess.
She slipped inside, frowning at the destruction.
"Damn! They even found my safe!? How!?" he half yelled, then walked into the same room that Lissy is in.
She hid quickly again, stopping her breathing once more. She was in a small closet that held casual clothing and what she recognized to be the male World Academy W Uniform.
He fell to the floor. "What did I do to deserve this?" he questioned, the sound of his crying filling the room.
She frowned and spoke hesitantly. "Luiciano?" she whispered so she wouldn't scare him too much.
He glared, a bit spooked. He became quite aware of his surroundings, unable to figure out if the voice was real or not. "Who is that!? Come out or die!" he yelled, brandishing the pocket knife. He stood, shaky from lack of sleep.
She stayed in her hiding place, waiting for him to calm down.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "If someone is truly here then take what you want. I no longer care. Be quick and be gone." He slowly moved to the kitchen and sat in the corner clutching his pocket knife.
She walked out of the small room and tiptoed to the kitchen, trying her best to not make a sound. "Luiciano... It's me, Lissy. I don't want anything," she said gently, kneeling down next to him when she saw him. She stayed wary of the blade he held, glancing at it once or twice.
His eyes were blood shot and quite tired from the stress he's been through, "Why did you follow me? This has nothing to do with you. Hurry and leave before anyone sees you or me."
"I don't care. Who did this?" she asked one hand still in her pocket. She glanced around suspiciously.
While she looked away, out the window he went trying to avoid her getting involved. He ran to an old ally way with a vacant apartment and camped out for the night.
She cursed loudly and attempted to find him, but to no avail. The sun eventually came up but she continued to try to find him.
He got a few good hours of sleep, and then the sun peeks through the tattered curtains of the vacant apartment, waking him up. He quickly went home and took a quick shower and put on clean clothing.
Lissy went home to shower and change into fresh clothing, and then went out to find the Italian again.
Still strolling, he found an old oak tree in a small park. He climbed it and began to draw his view of the park; lucky that he hasn't taken his should bag off when he went to the cafe the day before.
She ended up in the park, her stomach grumbling, angry at her for skipping dinner and breakfast. She sat down and sighed, still worried about Luiciano.
He looked up from his sketch and saw her in the park. Worried his cover would be blown, he climbed deeper into the tree.
Lissy heard the rustle of the leaves and looked up. "Luiciano!" she called up to him.
"Dammit– I'm not here~", he whispered in a high pitched voice. He climbed up higher thinking, "Why must she be persistent?"
"Only you would say that. Come down here or I'll get you myself." She stood up, looking at him.
He jumped out of the tree and landed the jump. "What do you want?" he asked reluctantly.
"I want to ask you two questions," she said, looking him in the eyes.
"No." he said quickly, looking straight into her eyes. "I have nothing wrong."
"That wasn't my question. Either of them." She frowned at him, what he said sounded too rehearsed, as though he said it often. "Number one, do you know who did that? To your home, I mean."
He looked away, pondering with his inner self then finally gave in. "Yeah I do, why you wanna know?"
"I said two questions, not three. Number two, will you stay at my house until we can get your home cleaned up and stuff?" She asked, looking at him expectantly.
Surprised, not used to this kind of kindness, he took her up on the offer and agreed. "Si but don't tell anyone."
She made a movement as though she were zipping her lips. "Not a soul."
"Thank you so much!" He hugged her tight with a sigh of relief.
She hugged back, the feeling of being embraced by another human being foreign to her. "Don't thank me, that's what friends are for, right?"
"Friends?" he asked, confused.
"Oh– Sorry," she said, looking away. "I didn't mean to say that..."
"Not that it's bad but..." he hid his blushing face. "What are friends?"
"Friends are... I can't really explain it, but a friend is easy to make, but is worth a fortune. But that would mean I'm poor." She laughed without humor.
Still quite confused, he considered Lissy his new found friend.
She smiled at him a little. "I'm sorry for the crappy explanation, but I don't usually tell people what a friend is."
"No worries friend." He tried to act like himself around her.
Her stomach rumbled again, only then did she remember that she was hungry. "Are you hungry?" she asked him.
He dug out a sandwich covered in aluminum foil from his satchel and held it out to her. "It's all I could find in the apartment... Sorry." He looked, down feeling pathetic.
"No, I was actually thinking of us going somewhere to eat," she said, already thinking of places for them to go.
"Ve then you pick and I shall follow," he said with a small grin on his face.
"Hetalia Cafe? I can get us a discount," she said hopefully.
"Si, lead the way!" he replied. She led him the small, home style cafe and sat down, smiling.
A small smile appeared on his face he just dazed off into space.
She stopped herself from asking him another question and waited for the waiter to come to them and ask for their order. He snapped out of the trance and waited with her. Soon, the waiter came and asked for their order.
"I would like buttermilk pancakes with chocolate syrup and a glass of milk," she ordered, having already memorized the menu.
The waiter looked towards him and he stuttered that he wanted a frappe with caramel.
She sighs happily when the waiter leaves. "It's feels nice to be served and not to serve."
He chuckled a little," I bet it does, ve."
"Yeah, I've worked here since I was 16 years old," she said, looking around.
Luiciano was surprised, never having had an occupation. "Holy crap."
"I'm 18 now," she said, looking at his surprised face. "Maybe I could get you a job here? We need a new waiter."
His eyes grew bigger, thinking that he fails at everything except art. "Ve!? I- uh- no not me..."
"It's easy, ask what they want, give the order to the chef and give it to the customer," she explained. "You can even get tips."
"I dunno... My job history is bad..." he said, looking down at his hands, which rested on his lap.
"It's okay, I'll make sure they don't ask questions," she assured him. "You can come when my shift starts in–" she checked her watch, "3 hours."
"O-okay," he said, giving off shy vibes.
"I promise you'll be perfect, you don't have to speak to the customers besides asking their orders." She smiled warmly at him.
"Si... I shall try."
The waiter arrived with their orders. After he put the orders down, Lissy drowned her pancakes in chocolate syrup.
Luiciano chuckled to himself, watching the younger teen with his pinkish purple eyes.
"Hm?" She looked up at him, tilting her head to the side a little.
"That's what I do to my pancakes too," he said with a smile.
"Oh," she said, kind of like a child. She smiled and took a bite of her pancakes.
He took a sip of his frappe, looking out the window. He sees a small gang across the street, and then hides his face nervously.
