I still don't own Hetalia thanks for the reviews and follows.

Lovino woke up feeling the most comfortable he had in years, even when on his ship his hammock had been as uncomfortable as fuck. He was sat down and he was leant on something very warm, something warm and moving, he had two smaller warm somethings wrapped around his shoulders, and another buried in the crook of his neck. He also had something draped around him that felt familiar or at least more familiar than the warmth that was around him.

It was peaceful, and Lovino decided that he should probably open his eyes, but resolved not to move for a very long time because his new found bed was far too comfortable to even think of moving from the spot he was currently sat.

Cautiously he opened his eyes and discovered that his face was buried in something white with some words that he couldn't be bothered to read on it, it felt soft, familiar and warm so Lovino found himself snuggling into it.

And then he remembered where he was, on an island, in a cave with an idiot; With an idiot in a very small space which meant that there could only be one soft warm thing that breathed this close to Lovino...


Antonio woke up from a strange dream in which tomatoes had surrounded him and were taunting him about something, he couldn't remember what about, but he knew that it had made him very distressed and then he was running (Antonio had never before run from tomatoes but he made an exception in his horrific dream) the tomatoes of doom chased him into a desert, he was exhausted and then he saw a figure and some how knew that the person needed to be protected from the tomatoes so he tackled him; Then suddenly he felt safe but kept hold of the person.

He woke from the dream wondering what the hell had happened and found that he was very warm and had hold of something else that was warm. He looked down and saw that he had Lovino curled up in his arms fast asleep. For a few moments Antonio wondered what to do before settling on doing nothing because Lovino would probably be even more angry if he woke him up.

After a while Antonio fell back asleep.


Okay, he could do this, he could simply clamber out of the cave and pretend this whole sorry affair never happened, the only fly in the ointment was that Antonio had blocked the exit of the cave so essentially Lovino was trapped, it didn't help that Antonio had him trapped in the mother of all bear hugs.

Antonio was snoring really fucking loudly, apparently the peacefulness he'd encountered on first waking up was all a lie because shit if Antonio didn't sound like someone grinding with a pestle and mortar.

Lovino attempted to wriggle out of the hug backwards, he was just about to pull his head through when Antonio decided to wrap his arms around Lovino's head "Fuck!"


"Shit shit fucking bastardy fuck!" Oh...it sounded like Lovino was awake, Antonio opened his eyes and saw that he had pinned Lovino's face into his chest, that might be why he was so angry. Antonio released Lovino who had gone red, although Antonio couldn't see much behind the beard.

"Sorry Lovi"
"The fuck is wrong with you!" Lovino gasped before elbowing Antonio out of the way and squeezing through the gap looking just as angry as he had been the last time he'd stormed off.


Antonio's fears that Lovino would do a runner (run off) were confirmed when he left the cave and couldn't see him anywhere. He settled himself down outside the cave deciding to wait for the grumpy man to return.

"ANTONIO!"

Antonio looked up to see Lovino sprinting down the slope towards him, slipping near the end and face planting the floor; Antonio immediately ran towards him to find out if he was okay but Lovino waved him away "There's a ship you stupid Bastard, come on!"

Antonio stared at him "What?"

Lovino seized his hand and hauled him back the way he came "A ship!"

they arrived at the beach and Lovino started shrieking at the ship waving his arms and yelling. Antonio had never seen Lovino grin like that before, tears were running down his face and he looked more happy than he'd ever seen him.

Lovino rounded on him "Come on Antonio, help me!" he ordered.

Antonio nodded and started waving Lovino's coat in the air yelling as loudly as he could. It looked as though the ship was going past them, Antonio looked over at Lovino to see the most heart breaking expression he had ever seen on a human being's face "Lovi?"

Lovino looked at the floor "I'm fine"

Antonio shook his head and held out his arms for a hug, but then Lovino's face became over joyed "Those Bastards" he beamed

"What?" Antonio asked, Lovino punched him lightly on the arm

"It takes about three hours to turn a ship that size, they just took their sweet time doing it"

Antonio looked back at the ship which was beginning to change it's angle.


The ship was nearly to shore when it became evening, suddenly Lovino took the time to really look at the ship... she flew a pirate flag displaying a skull drinking tea, he looked to the name on the stern of the ship "The home counties" ...A Kirkland ship.

"Shit" he muttered "Shit shit shit, Antonio we have to get away"

Antonio looked at him "What?"

"that's a Kirkland ship you idiot! They'll kill you and use me to get to my family, shit shit shit! Arthur's a complete Bastard" Lovino exclaimed, tugging frantically at Antonio's arm.

But it was too late, long boats were ashore and a group of pirates were approaching them.

"Lovino Vargas? Is that you behind all that hair?" Asked a man with dirty blonde hair and massive eye brows, he looked alarmingly like the Kirkland Antonio had left behind.

Antonio looked to his left but Lovino was no where in sight, but then he realized that Lovino had decided to use Antonio as a human shield "Yeah it's me" He was physically trembling.
