Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia
Hey guys. I apologize for not updating the story for a while, I just had a little writer-block. But here is a new chapter from me :)
This chapter contains a sad beginning and slight Twilight-bashing. No offense to them who likes the books and/or movies.
"Feliciano."
The said boy turned to him. "Yes, Ludwig?"
Ludwig blushed. They had been a couple for five weeks but he is still shy when it comes to romance. "There is something I want to say..." he began a bit shyly, though he was trying to be confident.
Feliciano tilted his head in curiosity. "What's that?" he asked. "I was thinking that...we could make a promise." Ludwig suggested, blush evident on his cheeks.
"A promise about what?"
"A promise about...us. How about we can spend for the rest of our lives with each other, no matter if it goes up or down? That we will always be together?"
Feliciano smiled. "Sure. I promise."
The German smiled one of his rare smiles. "I promise too."
The couple hugged each other. It lasted for a minute. When they pulled away from each other, they kissed on the lips to seal the promise.
"I love you." Feliciano said when they broke apart.
"I love you too."
Feliciano opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around, seeing that he was in his room. Oh, it was just a dream... he thought sadly. But it wasn't just a dream, it was also a memory.
A memory of back then, when they were still a couple and that day when they made the promise.
He looked sadly down at his hands. They had been dating for five years and now it all ended because Ludwig had fallen for someone else. When did everything went downhill? Who was that person who managed to capture his ex-boyfriend's heart?
Suddenly, he heard a beeping noise. He had been in a deep thought (which rarely happens to him), so he got surprised when he heard it. He grabbed his cellphone and checked it. He saw that it was a text from Lukas.
It read: God morgen. Did you sleep well?
Feliciano noticed that the first part of the text seemed to be in a different language. He just wasn't sure which one it is. But he didn't thought too much of it and wrote a reply.
Yes, I have. Thanks for asking.
He got another text. Good to hear.
Feliciano got an idea and began to type. Hey Lukas, I was thinking that maybe we could hang out later at the day? That way, we could get to know each other. What do you think?
Sure. At what time?
We could meet at the afternoon 12:00. Is it possible for you?
Yes, I can make it. See you there.
Okay! I can't wait to see you.
After he sent his final text, Feliciano smiled for himself. He was glad that he got a friend like Lukas; especially someone who can cheer him up after a sad morning.
"What are you guys planning to do today?" Marcello asked curiously as he walked with his brothers. They are following him to the school today. "I'm not complete sure of that yet, but I will probably try to avoid idiots today." Lovino said.
Marcello chuckled at his older brother's remark. "Oh, you are always so grumpy."
"I am not! There are just so many idiotic people on this damn planet."
The youngest brother turned to his other older brother. "What about you, Feli?"
"Lukas and I had agreed on meeting each other later on the day." Feliciano smiled at him.
"How exciting. When are you going to meet him?"
"At 12 o'clock."
"And where are you guys going to meet?"
That was when Feliciano's smile faded. He just realized that he didn't thought of where they could meet. "I don't know..."
Lovino rolled his eyes. "Idiota."
Marcello, who heard that remark, turned his head to Lovino and frowned at him. "Now, grande fratello, don't say such things about Feli. It isn't his fault that he forgot about it."
The older brother scoffed. "Maybe but it's his problem and not mine."
"I better text Lukas about where we can meet, so we don't get confused of the whole location-thing." Feliciano said as he dug his hand in his pocket and took out his cellphone. While he was texting with his friend, Marcello noticed that they are close to his school. He turned to his older brothers and smiled. "There is my school, I better go now. Arrivederci!" he waved at them as he ran to the school.
When their younger brother left, Lovino turned his head to his brother, who had just finished texting. "You seem to bond a little quickly with this Lukas-person. I would be more careful if I were you. You don't know anything about him." he said, a serious look on his face.
Feliciano turned his head to Lovino and smiled. "I know that he is one of those quiet types and that he have a little brother."
"Yeah, but what else do you know about him? It could be that he isn't what he seems. He could have secrets that you wouldn't dare to think of."
"Could he be a vampire?"
"No, not that kind of secrets. It isn't like Twilight."
Feliciano watched as his brother started to rant about Twilight and how unrealistic the author wrote the vampires ("Vampires aren't supposed to sparkle, dammit!") and the supposedly relationship between a human girl and a vampire boy. He didn't really have any opinion on it since he never watched or read the series but after being told by Lovino that they are really bad, he decided to follow his advice and avoid having anything to do with Twilight.
As for Marcello, neither of them knew if he liked it or not.
When Lovino was done ranting, he turned to Feliciano. "What did you exactly write to your so-called friend?" he asked. "I've wrote that we could meet in the park." Feliciano responded with a smile.
"Just be careful, okay? I don't want you to get hurt again..."
"But fratello, how can a friendship hurt me? Will you please quit worrying so much about me?"
"I cannot promise that." Lovino couldn't help but worry a little. Feliciano didn't know much about his new friend, how could he know that Lukas isn't actually a jerk who could hurt him? Feliciano hadn't completely gotten over his break-up yet. If Lukas did something to hurt him, the poor Italian wouldn't know what to do and might even spiral into depression.
Lovino didn't want that to happen to any of his brothers. Although he is often the grumpy and rude one, he does secretly care about his brothers. He just doesn't want to admit it.
"I suppose I cannot stop you from seeing him. He is your friend after all." Lovino said and sighed. "Now that we followed Marcello to the school, we can go home now."
Although he is unsure that one of his brother's friendship with the quiet guy is a good choice for him, who was he to deny his brother to see him?
I just hope you know what you're doing. he thought as he and Feliciano was going home.
Translations:
God morgen -Good morning(Norwegian)
Idiota - Idiot(Italian)
Grande fratello - Big brother(Italian)
Arrivederci - Goodbye(Italian)
Fratello - Brother(Italian)
I would have added the part where Feliciano would meet Lukas later, but I changed my mind and decided to end the chapter here. But don't worry, they will meet in the next chapter.
The reason why Lovino is unsure about Feliciano's new friendship is because he feared that Lukas might do something to hurt his brother and would make things worse for him. I can also easily imagine him as one of those people who hates Twilight. I'm more like Feliciano when it comes to Twilight. I haven't watched or read the series, so I don't fully have a opinion on it but I've heard that it's really bad.
And one thing more: vampires doesn't sparkle.
