But anyways, here is the second chapter, hope ya'll enjoy it. Rewiews would be nice too, since they could help me get ideas ;A;
Xx~Tuesday, morning~xX
The sky that was darkening and so was Lovino's mood. He had slept only five hours last night and he hated waking up early anyways. He dragged his feet lazily. Then suddenlysoem stupid rock decided to come in his way and he fell down. He was already really clumsy and that rock had not helped the situation. He closed his eyes and his hands moved infront of him from reflex.
For a second he kept his eyes closed but then he realized he was floating in midair. He opened his eyes carefully just to see the gray tarmac. He turned his head a bit but he had no time to see anything since whatever was holding him up spinned him helping him back to balance. Lovino found himself from standing as if nothing had happened. He also found the smiling Spaniard straight infront of him.
"Hola Lovi! You left so suddenly yesterday that I got a bit worried. And you didn't even answer your phone." Antonio's forever smile didn't fade despite his words.
Great, the brunette didn't seem to mind what happened yesterday that much.
"Ciao bastard."
Lovino felt like he should say something to the comment about yesterday but all the words got stuck in his troath. But Antonio looked more happy than just a minute ago. Was it just because Lovino greeted him back? He really was an idiot.
"Lovi, would you like to come over at my house today?"
The question catched Lovino off guard and he stumbled only after just one step. He cussed as he tried to keep his balance.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
But he had just yelled at Antonio yesterday. Did the Spaniard really not mind it at all?
"So will you come?"
Antonio took action since there didn't seem to be an answer coming anytime soon.
Lovino opened his mouth but closed it again imidiately. If he really didn't mind it then what would it hurt to go over at his house. That would mean free food after all. Heck, Antonio would maybe even cook for him. Not that it would make him happy at all!
"Fine. Only if you cook."
"Aww.. I was wishing that you would cook for me..~"
Ah, those puppy eyes should be illegal or something. At least for Antonio, he was just too cute- No! He did not just think that!? Something was weird. The person infront of him was Antonio, the idiot who was too attached to Lovino. Then why did he seem handsome- Stop! He needed to get his eyes checked, they were playing tricks on him.
"No! You cook or I won't agree."
He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest to make it straight that it was the one and final decision.
Antonio let out a soft sigh and he laughed warmly.
His laugh ringed in Lovino's ears for a while. He convinced himself it was just because it was so annoying. Not any other reason for it.
"I guess it's the final if you put it like that."
Antonio rubbed the back of his head as he stepped a bit at the side. His clear green eyes were closed which felt like a waste to Lovino. He stared at the Spaniard for a moment. The brunette opened his eyes again and blinked.
"Lovi, what is it? Is there something on my face?"
That snapped Lovino back to the real world.
"No! Why would you think that?"
"Since you were staring at me so intensely~"
"It was just your imagination! I was looking at the... bird! There was a bird behind you."
Antonio looked very convinced by his excu- reason.
"Okay! But we should really hurry or we'll be late."
That remined Lovino that he had been on his way to school. School! He almost forgot the whole thing! He started to run and Antonio soon passed him. Of course the Spaniard was a lot faster. Well he was more sporty anyways. Suddenly Antonio grabbed his hand and started pulling him.
"What are you doing?!" Lovino let out a shriek as he almost fell.
"We were late, right? So better hurry~"
That statement left Lovino silent. They really were in a hurry so there was no time for an argument. And anyways, there was nothing he could say since, for once, Antonio was right.
Xx~Tuesday, lunch time~xX
Lovino felt so relieved that the bell had finally rang, freeing the students. He was so hungry since he had used all his energy to run so he wouldn't be late. That bastard was the reason he was late in the first place and then he made him run. It was so annoying!
The Italian sat down on one of the tables after taking big serving of some lasange on his plate. He was about to start eating when he noticed Antonio stepped in to the school's dining hall with his two idiot friends. The Spaniard was excitedly chatting with his friends and they took the food. He usually always noticed Lovino, like he had some kind of instinct for it, and this time was no expection. Antonio turned his head and looked straight at Lovino who just then noticed that he had been staring at Antonio for a while. The Italian turned his face away imidiately. The Spaniard waved at his friends as he ran to his Italian friend.
"Hola Lovi~! Do you mind if I sit with you?"
Even though he had asked he didn't wait for the reply. He just casualy sat down opposite of Lovino who frowned.
"What is it bastard?" He didn't turn to look at the older male. He just stared at his food like he could melt it with his stare.
Antonio let out a laugh that had a hint of awkwardness. This made Lovino to look up at the other.
"What is it?" His voice had turned demanding from the curiousity.
He moved the half eaten meal with his fork as he stared at Antonio who was hesistant with his answer.
"You can't come at my house after all. My dad decided to make me work at his shop today.." Antonio averted his eyes but then turned back to Lovino who hit his fork into the food angrily.
What did he even wait from this bastard!? The Spaniard couldn't even keep one promise to him. He should just had said no when Antonio asked if he could come at his house.
As Lovino was about to stuff all rest of the lasange into his mouth Antonio stopped his hand and looked straight into his eyes.
"If I work there now, I'll get the weekend free."
"What about that?"
"I was just thinking that since I have that much free time, I cold come and stay at your house for the weekend?"
That made Lovino's heart skip a beat.
"For the whole weekend? But my parents aren't home then?"
"Si, I heard that from Feli."
Antonio nodded a bit which caused him to move even closer to Lovino who soon pulled back a bit of red dusting his cheeks.
"Fine! But you better come or I won't forgive you!"
He pouted to hide the blush that was turning more visible. He could here Antonio sigh from relief and then let out a soft but cheerful chuckle. That voice of his was just too amazi- annoying. That was what he thought, no way it was anything else.
Lovino felt a warm hand pat his head. He turned to look at Antonio who was softly smiling at him. This made Lovino's face turn even more red than before.
Suddenly Antonio stood up. This took Lovino by a suprise but it wasn't the only reason. The idiot Spaniard hadn't brought any food. As he was about to ask the reason for the missing food Antonio grinned.
"I'll go now. Let's see when we can. I'll have to hurry to work so I can't take you home today. Lo siento."
The Spaniard waved as he ran off to his other friends. Lovino was left there pouting.
"You don't have to take me home anyways."
Then an idea hit him.
Xx~Tuesday, after school~xX
Lovino looked at the clear sky and a sigh escaped from his lips. The cloud he had been staring for a while looked a lot like tomato which made him feel a bit hungry. He could already feel drool dripping down his chin. He almost got distracted enough to not hear the familiar laugh and steps. He turned around to look at the direction of the laugh and saw Antonio who was talking to his friend Francis.
Francis seemed to notice Lovino before Antonio did. He suddenly waved at his Spanish friend and ran off. Antonio looked a bit cionfused but decided not to mind it. He turned his head and his eyes met Lovino's.
Suddenly Lovino felt his heart skip a beat. This must have been the first time he had waited for Antonio at the gate since elementary school. He felt his legs try to escape under him. The young Italian tried to smile but his lips formed into a weird shape and he could feel his face flush red as Antonio raised a brow with a soft chuckle following it.
Antonio soon arrived right in front of Lovino and looked at him. They really were almost at the same eyelevel, just Lovino was a bit shorter.
"What are you doing here Lovi?"
Antonio sounded obviously happy to see Lovino here, of course expecting him to be waiting for the Spaniard. And in that, he was right.
"Just thought.. I-I should take you home! B-because I should repay you all those times you did!"
The Italian could feel his face burning up at that point. His eyes wondered around to escape the Spaniard's happy gaze. He was feeling so embarrased and only from offering to take the other home.
"Really? Would you do that for me Lovi? You really are nice~"
Antonio's answer made Lovino's face burn up even more. He couldn't get a sound out of his mouth so he just nodded. Antonio almost missed the nod but not quite. A grin spread across the older male's lips as he hummed happily. This went without noticing by Lovino because he was still looking at the ground.
Xx~Tuesday, evening~xX
The Italian leaned down on the couch he was sitting on. He felt like squeeling but decided that was too girlish so he kept it inside of him. His grandpa, who had arrived home just a while ago, had looked quite confused because Lovino looked so happy, since it was very rare of him to even show his happiness unless it was about tomatoes.
And the reason he was so happy was of course Antonio.
On their way to Antonio's home the Spaniard had told himabout some kind of suprise he had for the younger male. He would know what it was when Antonio would come over to their house on the weekend.
Lovino wasn't really that curious, of course. It would just be something lame, since it was from the tomato bastard. But then, what was this bubbling feeling he felt in his chest?
Lovino fell on his side on the couch with a longing sigh. He wasn't really even interested to the show that was on the television. He wasn't even sure what the show was about anymore.
He felt like he was acting like a stupid girl in love. But no, he wasn't in love, no way! He was just friends with the Spaniard, nothing else. There was no feeling that were even close to love. But Antonio did hug him and say how cute he were all the time. And all those words made Lovino's heart and face feel warm. There was something he couldn't escape.
He was crushing on the Spaniard and bady even! Even he knew it wasn't that kind of crush that would go over in few days if he wouldn't see the bastard. It was something that he had no escape from. But how did this happen? In what point did he start feeling like this towards Antonio?
With those questions in his mind, he coudn't fall asleep the whole night.
