POV:Lovino
No. This was not happening, I must be dreaming. Kill me now. Antonio had pulled my sleeve up exposing all my cuts, scares, lies. Everything I had worked so hard to hide. I felt hot tears siding down my face, this was it he was going to leave me.
His grip loosened enough so I yanked my hand away and cover my arm. I was immobile, frozen as a statue. I didn't have time to process what was happening all I know was that I saw Antonio get up and go into the bathroom. I heard a crash.
POV:Antonio
I pulled up Lovino's sleeve to see if there was anything...I found something. All up his arm were cuts, some were still bleeding. I had no idea my Lovino was hurting so much. I saw him get his arm back so I stood up and went into the bathroom.
There had to be something I had missed every time I searched in our cabinets for medicine. I always look for medicine to give to homeless people so I take some of our expired stuff and give it to the sick, but never before had I seen anything sharp or dangerous. I looked again. Lovi's box I wasn't supposed to open, I took it and up the contents on the counter. Bloodied razors. I knew in that moment my heart broke more than it ever had before. I punched the mirror out of sheer frustration, it cracked.
I went back out to the table and saw Lovino hunched over crying. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close. His body stiffened and his breathing caught. I made small circles on his back not having the words to say. Eventually he started sobbing into my chest, so i picked him up and carried him to the couch. There I set him on my lap and hugged him.
"Lovino Vargas why on earth would you do that?"
"I-I don't need to tell you you bastard!" his voice clearly breaking in several spots.
POV:Lovino
My voice broke from all the crying. I hoped he wouldn't notice.
"Yes Lovino you do need to tell me." he said making me sad that he pretended to care even now.
"You bastard you should know! Every day I am ignored and mistreated by everyone because they all love Feli more! I'm just the screw-up who is bitter and will never be as good as my brother! I'm not nice or kind and I push people away because they don't really love me! Even grandpa loved my brothers more than me! Even you love Feli and Marcello more!" The last sentence was said in a whisper only meant for his ears.
POV:Both
Don't love him? I loved him more than I loved life. He was my world and to have him say that I didn't love him, that hurt. We all loved him, I wish he knew that. I slapped him across the cheek. "I Love you. Not your brothers. I fell in love with you not your siblings. And if you every say something like that again I will put you in a family intervention."
"You love me? N-no your lying. Don't say things you don't mean cause I cant take It anymore!" I couldn't believe him, not now. He had to be lying, he always was. Right? No one would ever love me.
"Lovino te amo I mean it! You the stars in my sky, ever since I meant you I have loved you. I love you." Hopefully he knew I was telling the truth, ever since we were children I had loved him with all of my heart. He was my first kiss, first date, first and only boyfriend. Mi tomate.
Tears rolled down my face again because I no longer had the will to fight Antonio. I let my guard down, just taking in the feelings around me. Antonio smelled of spice, tomatoes, and something else... himself. "Ti amo." I whispered, this was the first time I had meant it in a long time. He picked me up and carried me to bed.
I placed Lovino on the bed on the bed and crawled down beside him. I gave him a kiss in the cheek and asked "Can you tell me the story now?"
"Yes I thinks Its time you know you bastard."
