Chapter 10
"Have you asked him yet? It's already Wednesday!" Gilbet asked as the trio of friends sat on the football field together. They were supposed to be in their 3rd period class right now but they decided this sounded more fun. "No, well sort of… I'm working on it!" "What do you mean, 'you're working on it'?" Francis rolled onto his side to listen to their conversation. "Well I wrote a note to him and well, you'll just have to see ok?" "A note? That is so un-awesome. You should've asked him face to face!" "But that wouldn't have been as cute!" "Cute? This is Lovino Vargas we're talking about. Nothing about him is cute! Birds are cute, Maddie is cute, even Fran is cuter than that angry munchkin." "That's not true, Lovi looks cute when his face is all blushy and red like a tomato~" "Toni, I think you need some help." Antonio just laughed and shook his head, "We should probably head back in now, 4th hour will start soon." He hopped up and without waiting for his friends the Spaniard started making his way back to the building.

"What took you so long bastard? I'm starving here and all you can do is smile." Lovino grumbled when Antonio finally handed him his lunch. "I'm sorry Lovi! The man held me back because he found out I skipped my math class." "And why the hell did you decide to skip math?" "Because it's not fun." "Idiota, you can't just skip a class because it's not fun! You're going to get in trouble dumb ass." "Are you worried about me?" "Fuck no!" The Italian shouted as his face lit up, the younger boy grabbed his lunch and leaned away from Antonio. Seeing the gap, the junior slid over so his own shoulder brushed against Lovino's, "You're so far away Lovi~"
Lovino stared to protest and tried to push the other away when Feli interrupted him, "Hey fratello, can I get a pet kitty? Ludwig's letting his brother get a chicken~" "No! What the hell does that potato bastard's brother getting a chicken have to do with you getting a cat? No, absolutely not." He commanded, averting his attention from the arm touching his. "B-but f-fratelloooo, I-I would be s-so good! V-veee, p-please?" His brother pleaded on the verge of tears. "If you want a stupid cat keep it at that bastard's house, it can't live in ours." "B-but he has doggies t-that would chase i-it… A-and it might try t-to eat the c-chick…" "Feli, we can't get a cat!" "B-b-but w-whyyy?" "Because I said so. Just stop crying…" "V-vee, I-I want a k-kitty~" "I-I'll make you some pasta instead, just don't cry." Lovi sighed to his brother who immediately perked up, "Really? Ok!"
"Aw, so he does have a heart after all!" Alfred teased and threw a fry at the brothers playfully. "Shut up! Fucking fat ass!" "Don't be mean Lovi! Alfred just meant that you're cute when you act all nice~" "Don't call me cute you damn tomato bastard!" Lovino seemed to remember that Antonio was touching him and pushed him away, "And sit on your own chair damn it!"
"I think Alfred and Antonio are right. You should act nicer more often." Arthur agreed stealing one of the fries that was on Alfred's plate. "Of course you do, just go make out in a closet some where you jack ass." Arthur choked on his food and blushed, "I-I-I! N-No, you b-bloody wanker!"
"Why do you all act like children?" Yao asked with a frown. "Because we don't want to act like old men like you do!" Alfred said throwing a fry at him too. "Stop throwing your food everywhere." Ludwig scolded while Feli clung to him. "Da, it's annoying." "Don't join the old man-y-ness of the Yao club! Come on guys, loosen up a bit!" Alfred exclaimed throwing a last fry at Ludwig, he didn't try to throw one at Ivan – he was too smart to do that. "Stop being a slob!" "Whatever you say mom!" The American said and crossed his eyes at Ludwig who huffed in annoyance.
"Why can't any of you idiots just shut up and eat your food?" Lovino complained finishing his own lunch and giving the empty box back to Antonio. "If I had someone making me homemade lunches every day I wouldn't complain either 'Lovi'!" "Don't call me that you damn fat assed American! It's bad enough he says it! You fucking fucker, it's not like I want them. It's his payment from the fucking picnic you dumb asses made me go to." Lovi finished by flipping the blonde off and shooting him a glare. "Do you still have my sweat shirt Lovi?" Antonio butted in with an innocent smile. The Italian blushed, "I don't know! Why would I have your fucking sweat shirt?" "Well you borrowed it at the picnic and you never gave it back…" "I'll see if I can find it then. It's probably under some fucking clothes 'cause I haven't touched it since! Bastard." Antonio smiled a little wider, "That's ok, would you mind bringing it back tomorrow?" Lovino jumped up and glared at him, "Tsk, if I remember you jerk. It's not like I asked to borrow it so fuck off." With that he stormed out of the cafeteria, his face quickly heating up to a neon red. Noticing that lunch was almost over, the rest of the students quickly finished their own meals before heading back to class.

"So have you actually asked him? This isn't a joke Toni! You can't end up going stag!" Gilbert whined as Antonio drove home after school. Well it wasn't after school yet, the trio had skipped their last class. "Si! It's ok Gil, I know what I'm doing~" Francis shook his head from the passenger seat and Gilbert snorted, "You'd better!" They were at Antonio's house in a matter of minutes and they wasted no time storming into the kitchen to raid the fridge.
"What do you three think you are doing?" They froze with their hands still reaching in to grab some left overs. "M-mom?" Antonio turned his head slowly, hoping he was imagining things. Nope. There she was, arms crossed and a scowl on her face. "Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, what do you think you are doing? You are supposed to be in school right now." "Si, aren't you supposed to be at work though?" He squeaked back tring to move behind Francis.
"I came home when I got a call from that you skipped math class. You'd three better get back in that car and go back to school right now. You even have football practice Gilbert!" "Of course !" The albino agreed while nodding his head furiously. "If I catch you skipping classes again, any of you, there will be sever consequences! Now shoo! Buscarruidos!" She waved her hands at them and followed them out the door. With a sigh the three drove back to school and returned to class, there was only about 20 minutes left of school but they all feared the wrath of Antonio's mother.

"What do you mean they came back? What the fuck is wrong with those three?" Lovino sighed into his phone as he drove home. Feli decided he wanted to take a nap in the back seat. "Whatever, so Arthur started a fire in Home ec today, the mascot's head was shaved by Sadik, the one guy- with the creepy white stuffed animal things- he hacked into the school's private files for us again, and the three idiots ditched their last class just to come back, is that all? … Right and Feliks got yelled at for disobeying the dress code again. … Look, if anything that actually matters happens tell me. Whatever bastard." He hung up his cellphone and tossed it in to the cup holder without saying good bye.
His head was killing him; thank goodness he just pulled into their driveway. "Wake up, we're home." Lovino smacked Feli's shoulder lightly before climbing out of the car and dragging himself up the marble steps. "We're home Bastard!" "You don't have to shout nipote, I'm right here." Their grandfather said walking around the corner, he was really handsome and young looking so was often confused for the twin's father. "Whatever." Lovi shrugged his bag onto the floor and walked past his grandfather without another glance.
He shuffled over to his favorite window seat where he knew the red hoodie was. It's not like he liked it because it was Antonio's, it was just fuzzy, and warm, and it smelled nice, wait no it didn't! He cursed his own thoughts as he pulled back the thick curtain he used to hide himself with. He picked up the red jacket and glared at it, "Stupid tomato bastard." He grumbled and reached into the pockets to make sure he didn't leave anything in them. The first one was empty but when he tried the second one his fingers brushed a piece of paper. He yanked it out and quickly looked it over. He froze in horror when he read it: Lovi~ Will you go to Homecoming with me? Yes No -Antonio 3 . "What the hell is this?!"
