"A-Antonio, please, ahhhn, please..." moaned Lovino quietly as Antonio skimmed gentle fingers across his bare skin. Their lips hovered inches from the other's, sharing the same heated air in shallow, heaving breaths, Lovino unable to stop the stream of mixed moans and words spilling from his. Antonio grinned in a lazy fashion.

He'd overcome his nervousness of the whole 'kissing Lovino' situation approximately half an hour ago and now. Well, now he thought he may be addicted to the taste of olive skin and orange shower gel. He licked his lips and the tip of his tongue flickered over Lovino's mouth, causing a groan of frustration to rumble up Lovino's chest. Laughing, Antonio spread his hands wide across Lovino's soft stomach and sharp hips, feeling the rise and fall of hitched breathing under his fingertips.

"Tonio, stop teasing and do something already, or I swear I'll... I'll... Oh, do that again!" Antonio worried at the skin of his jaw line, but stopped to croon in Lovino's ear in a raw, husky voice.

"Or you'll do what, Lovi? Kiss me? Because I really wouldn't mind if you did, you know." Lovino prised his hands from their grip on Antonio's hips and laced them through his hair instead, rolling his eyes in frustration at the ceiling. Goddamn Antonio and his fucking saint-like patience and his definitely not saint-like ability to keep him permanently seated on the edge of burning arousal. How he knew exactly where to touch and kiss and lick and bite was beyond Lovino, but if he could just drag his mind out the clouds that his ecstasy had thrown him into, then he was going to show Antonio precisely what he would do to him. A hands on experience-

Muffled talking echoed in from outside the front door of the small room. Antonio's head whipped around to the door, as if expecting to see someone standing there. When no knock or call came, he continued mouthing at Lovino's neck in short motions, a touch of lips on skin before they flitted to somewhere else.

Outside Antonio's door stood Eliza and Bella.

They were arguing. It was the same argument that they'd been having for the past half an hour and it showed no signs of abating. However littered with the kind of scathing insults that only friends could come up with it was, the fight was nevertheless a very quiet one, as neither wanted to alert the people inside the apartment of the commotion occurring feet away from them.

"Bella, this is not a good idea. In fact, this is probably the worst idea you could've possibly come up with. Even worse than the one with the pizza guy and the pineapple chunks, and that one you came up with drunk on vodka shots!"

"Do you want to meet this guy or not? Plus, it's not like we haven't 'visited' random people's houses before. In fact, wasn't it you who made me climb up that drainpipe at one in the fucking morning to creep on the guy from Luxembourg? You're just getting cold feet."

"That was different! Ish... We need a better cover than 'are you coming to Abel's party' because duh, we could've waited until Lovino came home!"

"Oh come on, Feli was totally okay with giving away his address so he must know the guy already. Now stop being a wimp."

"But-"

"No, just knock! I'll make it work, don't worry."

"Fine. I just really hope I get a glimpse of sweaty, half-naked, clearly-interrupted-in-the-middle-of-fucking boys for this."

Eliza unfolded her arms from where they had been pressed tightly against her chest and flicked a curl of hair away from her face. Bella smirked. Her foot was tapping an impatient rhythm onto the hard floor. Stepping forwards, Eliza rapped on the door twice, then quickly moved back to stand beside Bella. Nothing happened. Bella turned to face Eliza, who just shrugged, hands raised at chest level in the universal gesture for 'don't look at me like that, it's not my fault'.

"Knock again then!" hissed Bella.

Eliza wrinkled her nose, affronted. "No, you can this time. You want to be here too, so you knock now. All we've got to do is see if it's him, that's it. Go!"

"Oi, no, you!"

"Bella, you are seriously no fun-"

Neither girl had noticed the noise of the door hinges creaking open, but both quickly stopped their argument at the cough from the figure leaning on the door frame with a slight frown marring his forehead. They spun around from facing each other, startled, then both opened their mouths to speak at once.

"I swear this isn't what it's going to look like-"

"Oh, hi, you must be Antonio right-"

Antonio wrenched his mouth from Lovino's collarbones at the rap of knuckles on the door. A frustrated huff came from Lovino, and he pushed with light fingertips on the back of Antonio's neck, nails scratching at the hairline.

"Just ignore it, pretend we're not in... Come on, idiot, we have much better things to be doing than entertaining whoever's interrupting us now of all times." said Lovino, widening his eyes. With a frown, Antonio shook his head.

"No, let's find out what they want, yeah? Then we can, you know, carry on." Antonio tried to use his best placating voice, but at the unimpressed set of Lovino's mouth, he knew it had just sounded like a plead. Lovino pushed him away.

"Go on then. But come back quickly, for God's sake!"

Antonio scrambled off the sofa. Pulling on the shirt hanging over the arm rest in a well practised motion, he schooled his expression into one less irritated and more vaguely polite. Ignoring Lovino's grumbles from behind, he eased open the door to see two girls, both about the same age as him, arguing loudly. The brunette looked familiar in a way that Antonio couldn't place for the life of him, but he decided that he must have just seen her around the college. When neither acknowledged his presence, he leant on the door frame and coughed pointedly into a fist. The two spun around to face him and spoke at the same time. One word stood out from the noise only; his name. Astonished, he blurted out the first words that came to mind.

"You know my name?"
