Two Tomatoes in Love

Ch. 7

School was very…..interesting in Monday when they saw the rednecks that they 'ran into' Saturday. One of them would give either Antonio or Lovino a glare, but only Lovino returned a glare. Other than the constant glares the day was pretty normal; until soccer the only class all of them had together.

They were all kicking the ball around the field the rednecks on one side, Antonio and Lovino on the other; totally avoiding each other.

"Hey guy," One of the rednecks say when he spots Antonio and Lovino kicking the ball back in forth, "Do ya'll think I can hit them queers?"

"Yes!" They all say. He dribbles the ball to the center of the field and without hesitation kicks the ball towards Lovino. BAM! Lovino gets hit in the head falling backwards, Antonio runs towards him to see he has blood coming from his head.

"LOVI! Are you alright? Of course you're not alright you're bleeding. I'll go get the teacher." As he goes to stand up Lovino clutches his sleeve. "L-Lovi, what's wrong?"

"…..C-C-Carry me..." Antonio nods picking him up bridal style.

"GROSS THEM QUEER'S ARE TOGETHER!" The guy who kicked the ball to Lovino said. They ignore what they yelled out and walk to depart to the nurse's office. Once at the nurse's Lovino gets cleaned up; while staring at Antonio the whole time. Minutes later they are dismissed to go back to class; going back holding hands.

"Quick ever' one shield eyes!" The group of bullies says as they laugh. Antonio walks to them, letting go of Lovino's hand, goes to the single bully that says everything, and punches him down to the ground in a single hit. His 'friends' look at Antonio (who's ready to fight the lot) and walk off slowly. The wimp on the ground does the same; running to the locker room.

"That out to tech them to mess with you." Antonio says walking toward Lovino smiling. The next thing was unexpected; Lovino runs to Antonio and jumps on him wrapping his legs around his waist, as Antonio quickly wraps his arms around his boyfriend, "Hi Lovi~!" Antonio laughs.

"Shut up and kiss me bastard." Lovino goes bright red when Antonio looks at him smiling and bringing his warm chapped lips to Lovino's soft ones.

SIX YEARS LATER

Epilogue

After four years of college Lovino and Antonio moved in together in a small apartment in Rome, Italy. A year later Antonio proposed to Lovino in the cutest way…..

"Lovi~ come help me pick some tomatoes." Antonio says as he picks tomatoes, Lovino puts down his lemonade, gets up, putting his sunhat on, and groans. He goes to a different row and starts picking tomatoes. "LOVI~!" Antonio shouts wrapping his arms around his boyfriend unexpectedly; causing his to drop a tomato in the soil.

"WHAT THE FUCK ANTONIO YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU MADE ME DROP THE FUCKING TOMATO ON THE FUCKING GROUND! UGH! DAMMIT!" Lovino screams to Antonio; untangling him from his grasp. "What do you fucking want anyways?"Lovino crosses his arms with a scowl on his face.

"Come over here, please." Without an answer Antonio tugs on Lovino's crossed arms, pulling him to where he was working minutes before. Lovino just glares at Antonio and continues to work. When the sun starts to set they decide to leave. "WAIT! I forgot something!" Antonio says with all the tomatoes in his arms.

"What was it? I'll go get it for you." Lovino says seeing what Antonio was carrying.

"It's a black bag that has my sunscreen it in." Lovino walks to go get it, finding it in the process. He opens it up, from curiosity finding no sunscreen, but a black box. He opens the box slowly seeing a golden band with the words 'Will You Marry Me' across the top. Lovino's mouth drops, unable to say a word, and his heart skip a beat.

"Will you?" Antonio says wrapping his arms around Lovino's waist and putting his head on Lovino's right shoulder. Lovino turns around and looks at Antonio seeing the sunset behind him, messing but perfect hair, beautiful bright white smile, and the perfect sunset behind him.

Lovino smiles wrapping his arms around Antonio's shoulders, "Three meals a day, tomatoes, and plenty of naps…..with you." Antonio smiles bringing Lovino into a passionate kiss. After putting the ring on Lovino they leave to go home; where they have a very exciting night.

They got married five months later in a tomato field. With all of their friends and family, but they didn't matter. They could've had a wedding in a deli shop and wouldn't care; provided that they had each other they didn't care all that mattered was that they had each other for the rest of their lives.

They were two tomatoes in love.
