Feliciano hopped into the passenger side of the car, setting his pasta in the back seat of the red Ferrari.
"Hurry up fratello!"
"Chigi, I'm coming Feli!"
His brother shut the door, making sure to lock it before dashing to the car and jumping inside, not even bothering to open the door. He had a bag in his hand and Feliciano couldn't help but smile when he saw the familiar red fruit.
"Did you get good tomatoes?" the other looked at him with mock hurt for a moment, before he smirked and grabbed a tomato, handing it to him.
"See for yourself."
Feli took a bite and grinned. "This is great fratello!" Said person's smirk widened ever so slightly.
"You doubted me?"
The question went unanswered as Lovino turned the keys in the ignition. In less than a second his foot was on the gas pedal and the two were off.
They were headed to Japans house, just like they said they were going to after they got out of the mansion. All of the nations that had made human names were going to be there.
It had only been a few days since their escape but Feliciano had been looking forward to this day more than anything else. He wanted to see everyone again…
He found that a few hours after they had returned home yesterday that he started to think that not all of his friends would be at Kiku's house. That they had somehow died or the scene he would be met with when they arrived would be a bloody one. That a monster had somehow left from that horrible place and was going to take its revenge on them for escaping.
But his worst fear was that this would all be a dream and he would wake up at that place in the safe room or with Germany next to him saying the meeting was over and he would be forced to go there again and they would all die and he would have to do it again and again and-
"Feliciano, listen to me!"
The Italian blinked and felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced to his right and saw Lovino looking at him worriedly, one hand on the wheel.
Lovino saw that he finally had his brother's attention after trying several times in the past few minutes. He sighed.
"Breathe."
It was then Feliciano noticed he had been holding his breath. He released it slowly and breathed in. Repeat. His brother nodded, satisfied with the response and returned his eyes to the road, which they had surprisingly not driven off of.
"They'll all be there Feliciano, don't worry. It will be fine." He hoped that Feli would believe him. He did have plenty reason to be worried, no matter what is seemed like now that they were out of that hell hole.
Feliciano nodded, making a mental note to try and not climb on that train of thought again.
"I know fratello, it's just… I need to see them." Lovino completely understood that.
As they neared kiku's house Feliciano became both more exited and anxious. Lovino could tell his brother was trying to wait for them to arrive instead of just jumping out of the car and running as fast as he could to the Japanese man's home.
When they pulled in Feliciano was shocked to see everyone in the front, all smiling at them. They were welcoming the two.
Feli ran out of the car grinning and hugged Ludwig and kiku. Neither pushed him off though they did look flustered.
Lovino grabbed his tomatoes and his brother's pasta and walked to the group. For once he didn't curse at the German, only handing feli his pasta when he pulled away from his friends. Well, he supposed they were his own friends now too. That didn't seem so bad.
Someone hugged him from behind. Lovino didn't even have to look.
"Lovi, I'm so happy to see you!"
Lovino sighed although he smiled a little bit. Though he would never admit it, he was glad to see the Spaniard. He pulled himself from the one sided hug a red starting to color his cheeks.
"It's only been a day bastard." Antonio laughed.
"I know, but it seemed like forever. …oh, you look like a tomato Lovi~!"
Lovino's face became redder. Cue face palm.
Kiku decided that now would be a good time to intervene.
"Feliciano, Lovino, the two of you can put your food in the kitchen if you wish." Lovino nodded and walked inside. Feliciano smiled and turned his gaze to the others. "Come on!"
The other nations smiled and followed the now happy Italian into the household.
They did just what they agreed they would. They had a potluck of foods from each other's countries, and yes, even Arthur's. They laid out futons for everyone all over the house, though everyone wanted to sleep next to each other like they had that one night in the mansion. Before they went to bed kiku taught them how to play the sudden death pillow fight game.
Kiku and Alfred woke up early to pick food from his garden. Alfred woke the others up later and they went out as well.
Everyone went shopping a few hours after breakfast. Arthur, who now finally had his vision back, had a wonderful time looking at suits. Ivan got a yukata, which he enjoyed.
Everyone had a great time. They stayed at kiku's house for a few days until eventually they had to return to their own homes. Everyone was disappointed that they had to leave but at the same time wanted to be at their own home with their people; although, many nations, like Matthew, Arthur, and Alfred, were going to be staying together for a bit.
Feliciano didn't want to leave but Lovino and everyone else assured him that it would be alright.
It seemed like things were getting better, but all good things must come to an end.
