It wasn't that Antonio wasn't happy to see Lovino at his house
It made it easier for the Spaniard to ask the Italian a certain question but it was quite unexpected
"what bastardo?" Lovino asked as Antonio nervously shifted around trying to make his house presentable, he shared his dorm room with Francis but after a certain crazy who tied them both to a bed and almost raped them Antonio came up with the rule that Francis was NOT allowed to have non pre-approved house guests over
And due to the fact that Arthur liked it better in his house than theirs Antonio found the house all to himself.
"Nothing, I just wasn't expecting you" Antonio smiled happily saying what was on his mind, even if he lied Lovino would know
"Do you want something to eat? I've already had dinner since it's like 10 in the afternoon but—"
"Feliciano is in one of his moods and I can't go home tonight" Lovino cut in looking down at his gloved hands
Antonio friend
'Moods?' he thought inquisitively
"h-he's really upset and I could probably feel it if I stayed in the apartment so I was wondering if...i could stay here the night?"
Antonio opened his mouth to say something but then shut it and stared at Lovino
His face was really Red
'Like a tomato' Antonio smiled happily
"Fuck you bastardo" Lovino snapped
"Aww lovi" Antonio said coming closer "you can stay here the night if you do something for me"
His tone got more serious and sort of...seductive as he said that last part
"w-what? N-no!" Lovino snapped as the Spaniard pressed him against a wall
"you..." Antonio started kissing the Italians forehead "can"
The cheek
"Come"
His neck
"to the parade that's going on in town with me tomorrow" Antonio announced "everyone's going to be going, and the schools going to be closed just for it"
Lovino stared up at the Spaniard in complete confusion
"s-sure whatever" he mumbled looking down
"great!" Antonio exclaimed hugging the Italian "let's go to bed then so tomorrow can arrive faster!"
"That's a stupid idea bastardo!" Lovino snapped trying to cover his face as the Spaniard picked him up princess style and shamelessly carried him to the bedroom.
...oOo...
Kiku made his way down to the gardens quite quietly. It was a Friday and almost nobody was on campus (due to the huge parade they were having in the city).
The teenager smiled and looked around
He loved the gardening club, although he wasn't cut out for any strenuous physical activity (that involved being out in the open sun for obscene amounts of time) he did love what they managed to do with all their hard work
'I wish I could join' Kiku wished looking up at the surrounding forestation
Well, maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Kiku stopped as he spotted Feliciano and mark. Near the old play area the builders had left in
The school had been built in a large area where houses were basically abandoned and the city had decided to turn it into their huge academy.
They seemed to be having an argument.
Feliciano's face looked really sad and mark just looked really angry
'I could stay...but' Kiku thought looking down the path then back through the bushes and trees at his far off friends
He couldn't hear what they were saying but it looked important
He also couldn't resist
Kiku then went into full stealth mode and got closer to the couple
"I can't do this anymore!" Feliciano exploded coming out of a chain or long and rapid Italian
Mark then promptly slapped him and said something in the boys native tongue
'oh. Hell. No' Kiku thought looking on with horror
This was getting physical.
The Japanese boy thought about coming out as mark grabbed Feliciano but then the wind picked up and smaller objects such as rocks started to float along with the close rusty old swing
"Let go of me!" Feliciano exclaimed
Mark then let go but gave a very sadistic smile before stating something simply
Feliciano's face fell and he started to cry
Like. Actually cry.
"Why?" Feliciano asked "why are you doing this? I've given you what you wanted!"
"Oh no" mark said shaking his head "this won't be over until you're dead"
Kiku held back a gasp and then watched as mark once again grabbed Feliciano and dragged him away
This was bad.
This was REALLY bad.
...oOo...
(a/n-I know how you guys are feeling about this but...parade time)
Lovino walked cautiously through crowds of people, the last time he had been to a parade...well he couldn't remember but he did remember Feliciano mentioning they had gone to one with their mother before she left and...
"Do you like it Lovi?" Antonio asked
Lovino looked down at the chicken one of the vendors was selling and Antonio had bought without hesitation
"it isn't bad" Lovino whispered which was enough to get the Spaniard smiling even wider
"I think the actual parade will come through here in—" Antonio started but was cut off when someone shouted Lovino's name
The pair turned to see Mathew and Ivan together
'Shit' Antonio thought starting to panic which confused Lovino
"Ah, I didn't know you two were an item" Mathew said looking at their interlinked hands
"we're not!" Lovino denied quickly "we just ended up..."
The Italian trailed off but didn't pull his hand away from the Spaniard
"so...I heard thing went bad between you and Gilbert" Antonio said blatantly "I was going to visit but I wasn't sure who to go to first, then I stubbed my toe and forgot about it , then I made dinner and then after I finished eating Lovino—"
Antonio coughed and choked as Lovino elbowed him in the gut
"Oh...so anyway, you guys wasn't to go and visit some of the attractions? I hear ripcord s playing to apologise or their last wrecked performance"
"You like ripcord?" Lovino questioned with excitement
"Only WITH A PASSION!" Mathew said in a surprisingly loud voice "I've got all of their CD's and merchandise and I always follow what they're doing"
"da, his room is filled with their things" Ivan nodded happily
"Where are they playing?" Lovino asked
"That direction" Mathew pointed letting go of Ivan's hand as Lovino let go of Antonio's which cased the Russian and Spaniard to give a sad looks
"Wait, Lovino!" Antonio exclaimed as the two departed without their dates
"Great" Ivan sighed looking longingly at his lost companion
"It is ok amigo, we'll find them eventually".
...oOo...
Antonio and Ivan both stared at the masses of people they had been trying to navigate through for the past 6 hours with no luck, it was dusk now and they were now standing on some random roof together trying not to feel sad
"This was meant to be my day with Lovi" Antonio winged and Ivan nodded
"I do not understand how you can date someone who reads minds" the Russian said which threw the Spaniard off
"w-what?" Antonio spluttered in confusion "h-how?"
"who do you think helped Feliciano wipe the memory off of your servers?" Ivan asked "Eduard is a good hacker but he used to serve under me"
"Oh..." Antonio whispered "it's just...I don't have any secrets I think about all the time and Lovino doesn't pry, he's getting better at not catching peoples thoughts by mistake so, yea" the Spaniard explained quite vaguely
Ivan nodded
"it must be nice to trust someone that much"
"it is" Antonio stated before frowning
His phone had been ringing for the past half-hour but he had chosen to ignore it seeing as Lovino didn't have his number.
"You should answer that, da?" Ivan said simply
Antonio stood up and took out his phone before answering
"Hello?" he smiled, he didn't really recognise the number but he always answered the phone with a happy tone
"Antonio? Is that you" a deep voice came "oh mein gott, we need help"
Antonio frowned
Usually Ludwig was the polite and reserved type but right now he sounded really distressed
"What's wrong?" he asked
"Mark, he's taken Feliciano somewhere and we went looking for them but we can't find them anywhere, Kiku said it looked really serious and...and he thinks mark's going to try and kill him"
Those words hit the Spaniard like a ton of bricks
"I'll be back at the school as soon as I can, meet me outside my dorm room" the Spaniard said
"Ivan, I need you to take Lovino home if you locate him, something important just came up"
"I will find them soon, da?" Ivan smiled happily also standing "have fun"
Antonio nodded before starting to make his way down.
...oOo...
Lovino and Mathew cheered as the ripcords exited the stage
It had taken them a while but they had made it really close to the stage and were not immersed in the deep buzz of the concert
"Thank you, all but we must get going now!" the lead singer exclaimed "have a great night"
They were still cheering and shouting as the band left but as the buzz slowly faded, he realised a few things
He wasn't with Antonio anymore
He had no idea where he was at all
Mathew Williams was smiling.
"You want to go grab something to eat partner?" Mathew asked with a huge grin
Lovino nodded
"I can't pay for anything though; I still haven't gotten around to exchanging my euro's to dollars"
"That's ok, eh?" Mathew smiled "I'll treat you to anything since you came here with me...now that I think about it where is Ivan and Antonio"
"I think...we left them behind" Lovino said slowly looking around
The pair stared at each other for a second before starting to laugh out loud
"oh well" they both shrugged at the same time before laughing even harder.
From a distance, a trio watched the exchange
"I thought Mathew would spend more time hung up on you but it seems like I was wrong" Francis said frowning at the two
"but I wonder where this leaves Antonio" Arthur said slowly
"fuck them" Gilbert said bitterly "they can get together and fuck for all I care" he snapped bitterly
That was what this was about in the first place
Mathew wasn't ready to give himself to Gilbert and Michelle was, even if they wanted to keep it at a friend's with benefits level
But it hurt to see him so over the awesome him after no time at all.
"if you say so" Francis shrugged glaring down at the boy he was holding back "will you stop struggling Alfred?" he asked
"No! He's no good for him!" Alfred exclaimed "I need to be the hero and break them apart before it escalates, before the commies win!"
"How does that even—" Francis started but was cut off by his boyfriend smirking and saying the words
"Too late" Arthur pointed at Ivan who casually walked over and stole Mathew away from Lovino, the Italian didn't seem to mind but Alfred was fuming
"That's even worse!" he proclaimed struggling some more
"Gilbert help be hold him down before he ruins your ex's chance of happiness!" Francis exclaimed
Gilbert glanced at Alfred but didn't do anything which resulted in the American getting free and running at the Russian
"Keep your hands off my cousin you commie bastard!" he exclaimed as he punched Ivan in the face
"Great" Arthur sighed placing two fingers at the bridge of his nose
Francis glared at Gilbert but it quickly faded when he noticed that longing in his eyes
'I told you you were going to regret your impatience' the thought resisting the urge of tutting and shaking his head.
...oOo...
Mark sat on his working desk calmly sipping his coffee
This felt good
He finally got what he wanted
The brunette then got up and starred at his basement door where a certain Italian was banging
"let me out!" the Italian repeated over and over
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
Mark sighed before grabbing the emotive displacer and switching it onto full blast mercilessly
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Feliciano crumpled down in pain before tears started to rush down his cheeks
'I deserve this' he thought as the pain took over
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
'I deserve this, I deserve this' felicaino thought over and over
It was the only thing that made him feel better
'this is all my fault'
Halleluiah, Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah
