Chapter 11
"Wake up fratello~ You're going to be late! Ve~" Feli gently shook his brother's arm to wake him. "W-what the fuck? What time is it?" Lovino mumbled rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Um, I think it's like 7:25… I don't know~ Nonno just said we should leave." "Fuck! It's already past 7? Damn it Feli!" Lovino ran to his room and changed faster than if Arthur had just offered him some food. "Let's go!" He yelled and ran to the door. His backpack was where he left it last night and his brother was now standing by the open door. "You almost forgot this~" He sang holding out Antonio's hoodie. Fuck him and his stupid jacket, stupid tomato bastard.
Lovino already had a headache as he grabbed the evil sweatshirt and pushed past Feli towards the car. He drove to school faster than necessary, they weren't actually that late; they got there before the first bell rang. "Feli, would you mind giving this to the jerk at lunch? I-I'm going to be too busy to come today." Lovino asked shoving the hoodie into his brother's hands. "Sure fratello! Ooh, there's Ludwig~ I'm going to go say hi! Bye~" The younger brother quickly jumped out of the car and ran over to his friend. Lovino watched him go and rubbed his aching head, he had just stared at that stupid note all night, it was burning a hole in his pocket right now. What the fuck was Antonio thinking?
xXx
"W-where's Lovi?" Antonio's face fell when he got to the table. He had practically ran to the cafeteria after class and now he just stood there dumb founded. "He said he was too busy to come to lunch today~ Oh but here's your sweatshirt back! He told me to give it to you!" Feli explained and handed Antonio the jacket. The junior almost threw the lunches on the table as he checked the pockets, empty. "Do you know where he is?" Feli shook his head before greeting Arthur and Alfred as they walked over. "Wow Toni, you don't usually get here before us. Where's Lovino?" Alfred asked as he unwrapped one of his burgers. "I heard him and Ivan were dealing with a fight between Heracles and Sadiq. Kiku's with them too I think." Yao answered as he came up behind the two blondes. "O-oh… Well then I guess I'll go sit with Gil and Fran. Since I don't have to give Lovi his lunch…" Antonio mumbled, then with a sheepish smile he waved and slipped back over to where his friends were sitting.
"Hey Toni. So then I told him that I didn't need to pay attention because I already know everything!" "Your attitude never ceases to amaze me mon ami. Salut Toni, why aren't you sitting with Monsieur Vargas and co.?" Francis asked as their friend sat down. "He's not at lunch today. But I asked him!" Antonio said with a big smile. "You asked who? To what? Homecoming?" Elizabeta questioned with wide eyes. "Si, I asked Lovi to go to Homecoming with me." "Lovi? As in Lovino Vargas? What did he say? Did you two kiss? Can I take a picture of the two of you together?" "Eliza, you really shouldn't bother people like that…" "Shush Roddy! I need to know these things! You were saying?" "Um, he hasn't given me his answer yet."
The girl huffed in annoyance, "You shouldn't get my hopes up like that!" "I'm sorry chica~" "Don't apologize to her! She's a crazy witch!" Gilbert cried in horror at his friend. "Nobody needs your comments Gilbert, they are rude and uncivilized." Roderich sniffed at him. "Go play a piano or something. You two are so un-awesome! Why do you even sit here?" "Because we can! No shut up before I hurt you!" Elizabeta threatened and crossed her arms for emphasis. Most of the lunch hour was past listening to her and Gilbert fighting while Roderich listened; Francis talked with Madeleine on the end of the table. Antonio zoned out, he kept looking around to see if Lovino would come in late. He didn't.
About 10 minutes before the students had to leave, Elizabeta stormed away dragging her boyfriend with her. "Good riddance!" Gilbert grumbled after them. Before a new conversation could start a tall blonde figure ran over to their table, "Gill! Hey!" "Matthias!" The loud and smiling boy quickly claimed a seat across from the albino, "We still on for tonight?" "Of course! I even snagged one of the evil witch's cameras when she wasn't looking!" Gilbert beamed and held up a camera proudly. "Awesome! So it's going to be at Lucy and Emily's house around 9. And yes, it is a sleep over." "Really? Even though Eyebrows and Feli are going?" "They're getting kicked out at 11." "Kesesese! This is going to be great!"
Francis interrupted them with a wave of his hands, "Attendez! What are you two talking about?" "The party with all the football player's dates!" Matthias laughed and high fived Gilbert across the table. "So you two are going to go to this party. Even though you're both on the team and both of your dates are going." "Well yeah! How else would I get to see Lucy do anything other than frown at me?" "And Maddie's going to look so awesome!" "Um Gill? I-I'm sitting right here…"
Matthias jumped when he realized she was sitting next to him, "You're not going to tell anyone are you? Please! Lucy will kill me!" "U-uh, well I guess you're not hurting anyone…" "Maddie you're the best! See? Isn't she awesome?" Gilbert cheered then turned to Francis and Antonio, "Do you guys want to come too?" Francis shook his head with a little smirk, "No thank you. Instead of watching the action from afar, I have a date to go to." "What about you Toni?" The Spaniard shrugged with a smile, "Sure, I don't have anything else to do."
The bell interrupted their conversation. "Great well I'll meet you guys there! We'll get there at 10:30, that way we can have a little bit of time to laugh at the prez!" Matthias said getting up from his seat. The other two nodded in agreement before the 5 students split up to go to their classes.
xXx
"I hate you." Arthur glared at Alfred from his seat. The other winked at him from behind his glasses and jumped up to sit on Arthur's desk, "Yeah yeah yeah, you're mad at me for agreeing to that party for you." "I'm not mad, I'm furious." "I don't see why it's that big of a deal. It's just a party, there's no like deep meaning behind it or anything."
Arthur sighed and looked around the empty room, it was supposed to be for the student council but they rarely used it; the room had become like Arthur's private office. Lately Alfred had started to come bother him here after school. "Except by doing this, we look like a couple…" "Do we?"
Green eyes glared at blue. "Yes we do, wanker." "Is that a bad thing?" "Wha-?" Arthur choked on his tongue as his cheeks caught fire. "What do you mean!?" "I was just asking if that was a bad thing." Alfred said with a shrug."I mean, we are technically going on a date together: to the dance. Isn't that what couples do?" He continued matter-of-factly. Arthur tried to read his face to see if he was joking but nothing gave him away.
The class president jumped up from his seat and paced over to a book case, "What are you talking about?" He crossed his arms and stared at the books like they would tell him what to say. He could hear Alfred jumping off the desk and walking over to him, but he refused to turn around to look at him.
"I'm just saying that I want you to think of this as a real date and not just some joke or easy way out of going with someone." Alfred said softly and reached out to turn the other junior towards him. "If that's ok with you…"Arthur let himself be turned but couldn't say anything once he was facing the other again. "I-is it ok?" The normally confident, cocky face was full of unease and covered with a blush. He just nodded like an idiot. The blue eyes lit up and a smile came back to Alfred's face, "Is it ok if I do this then?" He asked and leaned forward so their noses brushed, their lips almost touching. "You're a git." Arthur muttered before closing the space between their lips.
He could feel Alfred's smile as they kissed. It wasn't very deep or passionate, just a simple kiss. It only lasted a couple seconds before they pulled away from each other. "I-I have to go get ready for a s-stupid party now thanks to someone." Arthur stammered walking away from Alfred. He picked up his backpack and stood in the doorway, "A-are you coming or not?" "Right, sorry Iggy." The American smiled and grabbed his own bag but stopped when he was in the doorframe too. He leaned into the shorter boy and kissed him again. "See you tomorrow." Then as if nothing happened, Alfred started down the hallway, leaving a flustered Arthur behind him.

Yay! Chapter 11! What? Did you expect Lovi to just say yes? That would be too easy~ I put an Arthur and Alfred part in if that makes it any better? The party will be next Chapter!
