We're already at chapter 10...wow I need a life. You know, if writing fanfiction was a job, I would totally want it. Btw! Did you guys see the episode 1 of Beautiful World: Hetalia? OMG! It's AMAZING! It totally made my day because I was super depressed and then...WABAM! it was right there! I was so happy! Anyways, here's chapter 10 for all you beautiful people!I woke up to the smell of cinnamon and pine for some reason. I woke up and found myself a nice warm bed. I saw little pictures of yellow birds all over the place. Why? It was the most randomest thing ever. I sat up and rubbed my head. I heard talking outside the room. I got up and walked out the door.
Feliciano was talking to this big, muscular man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He seemed to having the time of his life. The other man was not amused. Next to Feli was Zio, who had a little yellow bird on his shoulder. That explains the little yellow birds all over the room...I think?
"Hey, Lovi!" Zio patted the empty seat next to him.
I rubbed my eyes and yawned, "buongiorno, Zio."
"Oh, Fratello!" Feli smiled brightly, "morning!"
"Morning," I looked at the blonde he was talking to, "who the hell is that?"
"Oh, this is Ludwig! Zio's younger brother!"
"Guten Morgen," Ludwig didn't smile.
I rolled my eyes and sat next to Zio. My stomach growled and I looked down.
"Hungry?"
"Si."
"Don't worry, Bianca's picking up some stuff from the cafe she works at, so she'll be here soon."
Feli turned pink, "did you say...Bianca?"
"Ja! She's my godchild! She's really sweet. She even calls me Vati," He smiled proudly.
I exchanged glances with Feliciano. I raised an eyebrow and he was slightly smiling. He turned pink.
"So, technically, you could say she's your...half cousin?"
"Vati! I'm home!" a shout rang through the house.
"Ah, here she is now!"
"I got all the stuff you wanted!" Bianca ran through the room and stopped as soon as she saw Feli.
She smiled at him and Feli gave a sheepish smile back. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from laughing. Her light blue eyes shined like before and her brown hair was in a high ponytail. She carried two big brown paper bags. They smelled really good. It smelled like coffee.
"Ciao, Feliciano!" She put the bags down, "Lovino."
"Ciao," I said.
"C-c-ciao."
"How are you?"
"B-buono..."
"Good! I got you some pasta and coffee from the cafe, so take as much as you want!" Bianca took out some of the contents. There was a five smaller boxes and two smaller cups. In the others were five more boxes, "they were leftovers from yesterday's service."
"Danke, Schätzchen, just put it on the table and sit with us."
"Vati, I just need to go grab something."
"Go get it."
"I'll be right back," Bianca bounced back.
"She's such a sweetheart," Zio shook his head, "shame her parents died."
"That's really sad," I said.
"Ja. Dad died in a work accident and Mom died in a car accident."
"She's so sweet and kind and nice and beautiful and..." Feli went on and on about Bianca.
"If you love her that much, why don't you fucking tell her, Fratellino?" I crossed my arms.
He fell silent.
"Aww, Lovi dearest," Zio rubbed Feli's hair, "don't force your poor bruder to tell Bianca."
"Why the hell not!" I snapped, "he should tell her if he loves her so much."
"And you're the perfect example, aren't you?" Zio leaned towards me, "you've got some confessing to do."
"I...I...I..." I blushed, "that-that's completely different."
"I'm...going to go see where Bianca went," Feli went to the direction Bianca went in.
"I'll go, too," Zio Ludwig followed close behind Feli.
"Why the fuck do ya need to go?" Zio yelled after him.
"Make sure they don't do certain...activities."
Zio laughed, "fine, do what you want."
When Ludwig walked out, I commented, "he knows Feli's not that kind of person, right?"
"Ja, he probably knows, but he gets those genes from Vati."
"I can tell."
"Anyways, we were talking about you."
I blushed, "si."
"What's holding you back?"
"I don't know...it's...me."
"Why?"
I took a deep breath, "I don't know. It's just...I don't know."
Zio took my hand and squeezed it, "don't worry. Tell your Zio."
"Well, ever since I first met Antonio, I felt that, he's so carefree and has no worries. Damn, was I wrong. He's been through so much shit, that I didn't know. I bet you and Bonnefoy knew because he trusts you."
"He trusts you, too."
"No, he probably doesn't."
"Do you think he would tell you everything if he didn't trust you?"
I looked at Zio. He had a crooked smile on his face.
"What's with that look on your face, Zio?"
"I think you should tell him."
"Tell him what?"
"That you care about him? That you...love him?"
Screams came from the hallway and Feli came running in and fell into my lap and Bianca was right behind him, yelling at Ludwig. She seemed really mad.
"Onkel! How many times do that I'm not a little kid anymore? And I know Feliciano from school for Dio's sake!"
"Well...I...I," Ludwig didn't know what to say.
"Damn, Luddy!" Zio scolded his younger brother, "give the poor girl some breathing room."
"I'm getting late for work," Ludwig got his coat on, put on his glasses, and walked out the door.
The room went silent.
"Bianca, meine Tochter," He held Bianca's hands, "what happened?"
"Well, I wanted to grab some your old clothes to give to Feliciano and Lovino to keep until we got more clothes for them, so I was in your closet. I didn't realize Feliciano was there, so I asked him to help me. Well, he was standing above me and he tripped on something and fell on top of me. I laughed because it was funny and he laughed, too. Then, I realized that Onkel was there and he pulled Feliciano off me and started yelling."
"What did he yell?"
"He said this and I quote, 'what the hell were you thinking? Did you think you could do something like that behind my back?" she imitated Ludwig and even did hand gestures.
Zio laughed, "he really said that?"
"Si, it was ridiculous! And stupid! I can't believe he actually thought that Feliciano is that kind of person."
"Well, don't be so hard on him. It's only because you're getting older and he still sees the little girl who would walk around saying, 'Onkel! Onkel!'."
"I know."
"Even though, he needs to know that you've grown up. I'll talk to him later."
"Grazie, Vati!" she wrapped her arms around Zio's neck.
"No problem," he sighed, "now, you gotta get ready for school! You're gonna be late!"
"Oh yeah! Hurry up you two!"
She walked out of the kitchen to her room.
"Oh, Feli," Zio turned his attention Feliciano who was silently crying, "what am I going to do with you?"
"Mi dispiace, Zio!" he sobbed, "I didn't mean anything! I just wanted to help Bianca help and I didn't know the other Zio was there! I...I...I..."
"Oh, c'mere!" Zio opened his arms and Feli collapsed in them.
"Oh, Fratellino," I shook my head.
Zio looked at me and mouthed, "We'll talk later."
I rolled my eyes.
...
The three of us walked to school together. I wore an oversized t-shirt that used to belong to Zio. His pants fit fine on me, but the shirt was huge. Feli was absolutely fine though. He wore his shirt from yesterday and a pair of Zio's old pants.
"Hey, Bianca?" Feli's voice was kind of shaky.
"Si, what is it, Feliciano?"
"I'm sorry. About this morning."
"Oh, Feliciano, it's okay! It wasn't your fault!" she laughed.
"Really?" Feliciano smiled.
"Yeah! I mean, it was kind of mine fault, too."
"Oh, you didn't do anything wrong, Bianca!"
I walked ahead and heard them talking. I smiled to myself. It was nice to see Feli not being so shy towards strangers. It was nice that he was talking to Bianca. He used to be shy when he was a kid, so I would do all the talking for him. It got better when he reached high school with me. But, he would be shy if I wasn't there.
I was so lost in thought that I ran into somebody.
"Oh," I rubbed my head, "watch where you're going, bastard!"
The person turned around and my heart dropped. It was Arthur.
"Who do you think you're talking to, you little pest?" He growled.
Feliciano and Bianca both fell silent and hid behind me. I felt my throat get dry and my palms get sweaty.
"Oh, it's you," a smile curled on Arthur's lips, "that little Italian at the school."
"It's me alright," I tried not to let the fear slip in my voice.
"I guess you didn't learn your lesson, yet."
"Feli, Bianca," I kept my eyes locked on Arthur, "get out of here and don't look back. Get to school."
"But, Fratello..."
"Feli! Get the fuck out of here!" I yelled.
"Okay," he grabbed Bianca's hand, "let's go Bianca."
"But," Bianca started.
Feli dragged her away and kept her hand. I could hear
"That you're younger brother?" he looked at Feli run away.
"Si, that is," I hissed.
"You both look the same."
"I get that a lot."
"I might 'accidently' mistake him for you at one point."
"You think about touching my Fratellino, bastard, and I'll make sure you don't live another day."
Arthur laughed. It wasn't a kind laugh. It was mean and harsh. Almost like a demon's.
"Now, why would I think about doing that to such a sweet boy like him?"
"Listen to me," I grabbed his shirt collar, "you can do whatever the hell you want to do to me, but if you touch my Feliciano, I will END you."
"I'll try," he brushed my hand off and turned around and walked away, "although, you Italians are worthless...just like Antonio."
My eyes grew wide with anger, "you bastard. What did you do to him?"
"If you want to see him, he's in the hospital a block away from your school," he laughed and walked away.
I stood there with the people brushing against me. They had no idea what happened to me. I clenched my fists so tight, my nails were digging deep marks in my skin. I could feel blood dripping down. It stung.
But it didn't sting as much as my eyes... Translations:
Guten Morgen...Good morning
Danke, Schätzchen... Thank you, darling
Onkel...Uncle
meine Tochter...my Daughter
