Arthur barged into Lovino's cell in the small hours of the morning, a blindfold and ropes in his hand. "Oi! Wake up, runt! It's time to go!"
Lovino groaned, rubbing his eyes. "What the hell? Its four in the morning, stupido!" he exclaimed angrily. He stood, but didn't go near the pirate. Arthur began advancing towards Lovino, making the Italian back away into the wall.
"Would you stay still?" Arthur snapped "Stand here."
Not wanting to anger Arthur any more, Lovino obeyed and stood in front of him. "Wh-What are you doing?!" he questioned as Arthur began tying his hands together.
Arthur sighed, beginning to stuff the blindfold in Lovino's mouth and tying it behind his head "I know a guy who is willing to pay a lot of money for you. So, yea, I'm selling you." He said simply.
The Italians eyes widened. He's getting sold? Antonio would never find him now…
Once Lovino was all tied up, Arthur hoisted him on his shoulder and carried him into the captain's quarters.
Antonio was furious to say at the least.
He had done absolutely nothing, yet Lovino was taken right from under him! The poor boy was probably terrified. Antonio knew how much the little boy feared Arthur. Why, just last year, when Lovino was ten, Arthur had come upon board for trading reasons and Lovino never left his room; he was so scared of the Brit.
Now, being trapped on his ship, doing God knows what, it must be horrible…
Jose stepped inside the captain's quarters.
"Sir, were a quarter ways to the Americas, should we take a break and settle in Cuba for awhile?" Jose asked.
"No." Antonio replied sharply "There's no time. We have to arrive in America before Arthur does."
"But, sir…The crew is exhausted! We're running out of supplies and we have no luck catching fish! If we don't stop and renew our supplies, we may never make it to land alive!" he argued.
Antonio sighed. "Si, you're right…we stop for a day in the nearest country. Then, we set sail again."
"Yes sir! I'll tell the crew." Jose declared before hurrying out.
Antonio had a bad felling that he'd never see Lovino again.
Arthur had just received the letter from Antonio and was now snickering as he read it to Lovino.
"I have no idea what you're talking about—pfft—but I'm coming for you Lovino. If I ever hear that you did something out of place with his—Ha!—I'll definitely kill you." Arthur spoke.
Lovino nearly growled in anger; how dare he make fun of Antonio like that!
Arthur wiped a humored tear off his cheek. "I'd like to see him try! I won't try anything with you…but I'm sure the man I'm giving you to will…Oh well! Oh, what should I write back? 'Lovino says hi!'?"
Lovino yelled something, but the blindfold in his mouth that acted as a gag prevented it.
"Oh, just shut it." Arthur laughed "I'm writing back now."
'Good luck with that, I won't have him soon after this. Isn't the black market just great? Your precious Lovino is tied up in front of me right now, actually! You'd love the sight, you pervert, all tied up and defenseless…
-with hate,
Arthur'
Okay, I'm honestly loving the way this story is coming along, but frankly I won't be able to finish it in tie for winter break to be over, so….The chapter may take longer to update during school.
And by the way, there's been some confusion with Lovino's age. He's chibi! Romano in this, o he's about eleven. ^-^
I don't own Hetalia!
R&R please!
