Chapter 3- 6.30

Tapping his pen on his on pad, Gilbert made no effort to take down the notes. He didn't really know why he was in college… he barely finished high school. His grades were all average and he has no idea what he's going to after all this.

"Were you even paying attention?" Gilbert was bought out of his thoughts by that obnoxious voice that belonged to his roommate.

"Fudge off," Gilbert swung his bag over his shoulder and glared at the Austrian.

"Here," Roderich pulled his note book out and all but threw it at Gilbert, "I didn't see you take a single note and you're going to need them,"

"Whatever," Gilbert muttered before he left the room.

Roderich rolled his eyes as he left the room and made his way to the music department. Reaching the empty piano room Roderich quickly looked around him before vanishing inside.

Feliciano sat with Elizabeta and Kiku at lunch. He was enjoying his pasta when a certain blue eyed German came over.

"Do you mind if I sit with you?" Ludwig asked kind of awkwardly.

"Sure!" Elizabeta smiled at Ludwig, making him feel less uncomfortable.

Sitting down next to Kiku, Feliciano looked over at Ludwig and gave him a big smile; he was really starting to like the German. They may only have five classes a week together but Feliciano felt really close with him.

"Ve~ Ludwig, have you thought of anything to do for our cooking project?" Feliciano asked smiling even bigger.

"Um, Nein," Ludwig looked down to hide the blush, Feliciano seemed to get though the barriers he had set up and Ludwig wasn't sure if he wanted the Italian to climb though.

"Thank god! I thought I was the only one who hadn't thought of anything," Elizabeta joined the conversation, "Hell will freeze over before Gilbert helps me with this so, yea…"

The three talked about their lessons as Kiku checked though his list of 'appointments'. His first customer was at 6.30 tonight. Kiku bit his lower lip and text his first customer to confirm time and location.

6.30, your dorm

Subject: Re: T&L

Sounds good

Kiku closed his phone and looked up to find that the other three were looking at him.

"What?" He asked slightly confused.

"We asked what you plan to do after college," Elizabeta looked at Kiku's phone before back to him.

"Oh… well… I'm still working that out, my parents want me to become a lawyer," Kiku thought about all the different things he wanted to do, "What about you guys,"

"Ve~ I was thinking of being a cook or artist," Feliciano smiled before looking to Ludwig, "What about you Ludwig?"

"A mechanic," Ludwig had decided long ago and didn't really understand why these people had waited till college to decide their careers.

"I'm a bit unsure too but I've been looking into writing… I mean I'm really popular on and all…," Elizabeta suddenly remembered all the fan fictions she needed to update and publish, "And on that note I better go and check Fanfic…"

She said a quick good bye before leaving the three boys alone. There was an awkward silence that made Ludwig feel even more awkward because of the way Feliciano watched him. He was beginning to wonder about him.

"Um… Feliciano?" Ludwig frowned when he noted the daydreaming look the Italian boy gave him.

"Ve~ What Ludwig," Feliciano was bought out of his daydream with a slight jump as he realized he had been staring, "Oh, I'm sorry… was I staring?"

"Um… ja," Ludwig saw this conversation going nowhere and so did Kiku.

"FELICIANO!" Right then an almost identical replica of Feliciano turned up looking rather angry.

"Oh shit," Feliciano got up and ran; Lovino right behind him.

"Vhat is that about?" Ludwig looked at Kiku who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Go long!" Alfred yelled as Matthew ran backwards to catch the football.

"Got it," He muttered, catching the ball and waving back to Alfred.

"Nice catch," Matthew jumped as a French accent was heard from behind him.

Turning around Francis gave the Canadian a smile which caused a blush to spread over his face. Gilbert gave the small blonde a wave and a smile. Antonio rolled his eyes as his friends began flirting with the boy.

"Hey Matthew who's these guys?" Alfred came running up and noticed Francis, "Oh hey Francis, I haven't seen you since high school,"

"Oh high school flash backs…" Francis ran his fingers though his hair, remembering high school, "You, me and Arthur… god we ruled the place,"

With a sudden jump, Antonio reached for his vibrating phone. He smiled silently to himself, knowing the number instantly.

Subject: Re: Got plans

Sure, what plans do you have in mind?

Subject: Re: Re: Got plans

I'll pick you up from your dorm at 6.30 and we'll get dinner?

Antonio sent the text and felt a bit nervous at the thought of a date with Romano. He knew that Romano wouldn't see it as a date but he sure as hell did. What if he rejected him again… this wasn't the first time he'd asked him out.

Subject: Re: Re: Re: Got plans

Sounds great! See you then!

Antonio got his hopes up but something also told him that something was out of place here.

"Please Fratello! Let me explain," Feliciano jumped as Lovino slammed the door behind him.

"God! I can't believe you!" Lovino didn't know if he wanted to cry, yell, scream or punch his brother's lights out, "Ok, explain!"

"Well… this morning during break… I realized I had your phone when Antonio sent a text though asking if you wanted to meet up tonight and I kind of... maybe said yes… and got you a date with Antonio tonight… he's going to pick you up from here at 6.30," Feliciano flinched, waiting for his brother to hit him.

Lovino just stood there, thinking things over. With a huff, Lovino just flopped on his bed and made grumbling/moaning/yelling sounds into his pillow. Feliciano opening his eyes and unclenched his fists.

"Ve~… Lovino?" Feliciano sat down next to his brother, "Is everything ok?"

"No and don't call me that," Lovino muttered as he felt the calming fingers run though his hair and play with that little curl.

"Want to talk?" Feliciano already knew the answer to that but it was something their grandpa used to do before he passed away last year.

"No… and isn't the eldest supposed to be the one looking after the younger?" Lovino turned his head to the side to look at Feliciano, "I miss grandpa,"

"Ve~ me too," It was the first time Lovino had said something like that, leaning down Feliciano kissed his brother the way they did as kids before moving away from the hand that tried to slap him.

"Ve~ so are you going to go out with Antonio tonight?"

"Maybe… You got a date?"

"Nope

~6.30 that night (dun dun dun!)~

Lovino looked himself over in the mirror; Feliciano being the more fashion aware of the two had picked out some clothes from him. Lovino really wasn't ready for the knock at the door. He stood there for a bit before he was forced to open the door.

"Hola Romano~" Antonio flashed the Italian a smile who just frowned in response.

"Yeah, hi you jackass," Lovino chewed his lower lip as he stepped out of the dorm after a reassuring smile from his brother.

Antonio led him out to the college car park where his car was. Lovino was still a bit nervous about this all and Antonio was starting to notice. His began to think of many things he could say but it soon became one of those situations were talking seemed uncomfortable.

They both knew that if a conversation wasn't started soon they may just spend the evening in silence.

"Um so…" Antonio began as they stopped at a red light, "um… what's your favourite sport?"

"Soccer," Lovino was trying so hard not to fidget, break down crying or just yell.

"Same, what team to you back up?" The drive became less and less awkward as they found things they had in common.

Reaching the restaurant, Lovino wasn't so anxious about everything and Antonio was his usual happy, relaxed self again.

Kiku took a deep breath as he reached the green house. It wasn't like he didn't so this every night it's just… he knew who he was about to sleep with for money. He never thought that this guy was the type to hire Kiku for the night.

Kiku didn't see himself as a whore or a prostitute he just did this because he liked pleasure and erotic things like this… but god… he was having a hard time trying to realize that Heracles Karpusi had hired him.

Reaching the right dorm, Kiku took a deep breath before knocking on the door. He thought he heard a cat before the door was opened for him. Kiku tried not to blush as a very attractive and rarely awake Greek boy smiled at him.

"Good evening," Kiku muttered before Heracles smiled at him and let him in.

Kiku stepped into the room and instantly had three cats were at his feet. He bent down to pat them; they were just the cutest things he'd ever seen. Looking around he soon discovered that Hercules must really like cats.

"Sorry guys, but this one's mine tonight," Kiku blushed at the statement as he stood up to look at the Greek.

Kiku didn't really know what to say but he found he didn't need to say anything at the soft pair of lips on his own. Kiku gently pressed back as the kiss grew deeper. Hercules slipped his tongue into the inviting one of the Japanese boy.

Hercules slowly pushed Kiku backwards before they tumbled softly onto the bed. Kiku was feeling less awkward about this all as Hercules made him comfortable and turned on. Kicking off his shoes, Kiku wrapped his legs around Hercules.

They broke the kiss and Hercules kissed down Kiku's neck in a sensational way. Opening his eyes, Kiku turned his head to the side and was met with a rather furry paw.

"Come on, this one's mine," Hercules sat up with a smile as Kiku giggled, "Can I have him?"

In response Hercules got a paw in the face before the cat sat on Kiku's chest. Kiku laughed as those gouges brown eyes that only cats have, watched him. Leaning up a bit Kiku gave the cat a small peck on the lips.

"There, now will you leave?" Much to Kiku's surprise the cat responded by nuzzling his cheek and climbing off of his chest with a purr.

"Well that was adorable," Hercules watched as the Japanese boy turned red with slight embarrassment, "I'm sorry for his behaviour; he get jealous went he's not the centre of attention,"

"It's ok… now where were we?" Kiku wrapped his arms around Hercules's neck and things proceeded from there…

Lovino found that the date had actual been kind of good. Walking out of the restaurant he laughed at Antonio who stumbled when his foot got caught on an uneven bit of pavement. His hands came out and ended up grabbing Lovino for support.

"Hey, basted," Lovino's train of thought was cut off when Antonio looked up at him.

They stood, not moving or talking for what felt like a life time. Antonio knew that if he was to do anything now would be the time. Lovino could almost read Antonio's thoughts and found himself thinking the same things.

"Can I?" Antonio whispered.

Lovino didn't say anything but instead closed the space between them. Antonio's eyes bulged at the sudden contact of their lips but soon relaxed into the kiss. He gently wrapped his arms around Lovino who in turn put his around Antonio's neck.

As they broke apart, Lovino turned bright red at the sudden realization of what had happened. He looked down, trying to hide his embarrassment. Antonio smiled before kissing Lovino on the forehead.

"I'm in love with you Romano," Antonio whispered.

(AUTHORS NOTE: YAY! Third chapter done! Ok to un-confuse people that got confused, the part were Antonio got the texts happened before the part where Lovino chased Feliciano!

I want to ask you guys a favour if you've read this far… could you please name Hercules's cats and give them appearances? He has two boys and a girl, one of the boys has brown eyes and likes Kiku just as much as Hercules!

Thank you so much for reading this far… I'm starting to doubt myself so please give me some good reviews and ideas so I know what to do next! Love you all, da~

p.s. wow, first kisses and half lemon in this chapter… congratulations to Feliciano and Lovino for the first kiss and Kiku and Hercules for the half lemon; I promise the lemons will be better and more detailed in the next chapters… maybe even the next chapter! Who knows?)
