Chapter 11

The mood that Lovino had been in the night before was over. He stumbled down the stairs, strangely enough there wasn't a scent of breakfast in the air. This perked his curiosity as he made his way down.

"Morning," Lovino mumbled slumping into the chair like normal. It was still a bit strange to him how he had fallen into a sort of morning routine so easily.

The lack of breakfast might have been caused by the lazy Spaniard sitting at the table. His head was bent over a sheet of parchment. "Buenos días. I was just coming up with your studying list." Lovino groaned, fuck school. "Anything else you would like to add?"

Just to please the man, Lovino looked over the long list. It covered just about anything that could ever be learned, at least to him. Yeah right, like he would want to add anything to the list, except… maybe he could get Antonio to allow astronomy. Briefly the idea flitted around in the teen's head, but still he didn't think that Antonio would allow it. And he would have to let his secret obsession be out in the open.

Lovino set his jaw, "That's too much." It was easier to complain than tell the truth, that is if the boy had learned anything about life. He knew that it was impossible to open himself to other people, it just wasn't going to happen.

Antonio only sighed, "It's not going to be all at once, I'm not that cruel."

Yeah, right. However, it wasn't worth the morning fight. The boy grabbed a tomato instead, since there was still a lack of breakfast.

"If you want Lovino, we could get breakfast in town for a change." Antonio suggested.

Before Lovino could really question the reason for the change of pace, a strange colored projectile came in though the window. It took a few second to process that the projectile was in all actuality just a parrot with a letter that was dropped in front of Antonio. The newest addition to the strange Spanish household mewed at the sign of such creature.

"What the fuck is that?" Lovino exclaimed pointing at the bird. Scratch the thought of being any where use to living with Antonio, it strange things like this happened daily.

"Pedro, my bird." Antonio mumbled, looking totally engrossed with the letter.

After watching Antonio's facial expression change several times, Lovino was really starting to wonder what the hell could be in the letter. If he had to guess it had to be an girl or something like that. Wasn't it always a girl?

"What's it say?" Lovino asked as he tried to see the letter. To his disappointment it was in fucking Spanish.

Antonio hastily crumbled the letter, apparently he forgot that Lovino couldn't read it. "Nothing important." he said quickly, a bit too quickly for that to be true.

That could only mean one thing to the teen. "Sounds like your in trouble," Lovino smiled a bit. One thing that was cool about Antonio was that he didn't act like he was perfect or God's gift to the world, unlike certain people.

Antonio groaned, "Si, my boss isn't too happy now." That's one thing that Lovino never had to deal directly with, human leaders. From what he understood, the were real pains in the ass, he couldn't understand why nations bothered to put up with them.

Lovino snorted, so it wasn't a woman. Still that was pretty funny. "So are we still going to town to slack off?"

The man gave him a teasing look of annoyance, "I need a tutor for you, so yes." So that's why they were going, Lovino had already figured it wasn't just for breakfast. Antonio got up, apparently ready to go. "In fact, let's leave now."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hetalia!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lovino was pretty sure that Antonio had horses, as most nations did, and yet they still walked to town. The teen was sweating already, he wondered how much worst it would be later. Better yet, he wondered if Antonio would let him go back to that lake since it was going to so hot.

They didn't spend too much time passing through town to the center, which is where all the shops seemed to be held. The streets were crowed and though it all, young children still managed to run throughout the crowds with toys and sweets. It was just large enough of a town to have goods from other places set out, in fact a few items looked like they made it from Lovino's home.

Despite knowing that the reason they went into town for a tutor, Lovino was actually pretty excited. At Austria's he wasn't allowed to go to the city alone, and trips weren't often taken. The sweet scents from a bakery and interesting looking objects in the window of another place made Lovino wish that he could go look around, even if he had no money.

Antonio pointed to one particular café that sat on the corner and explained a little about it. By the way that they were severed rather quickly, Lovino had a feeling that Antonio knew the owners. The man was certainly friendly with a lot of people.

"So Lovino," The Spaniard started soon after he finished paying for their meal. "I take it you want to look around town a bit?"

The boy wasn't expecting to be allowed to go, he blush and mumbled. "Of course I do." The Spaniard would have be an idiot to think he didn't want to.

Antonio smiled, "If you promise me that you won't get lost or get into trouble, then I'll let you loose."

Lovino tried not to sound too excited. "Really?"

"Sure," Antonio replied. "I've got nothing but boring stuff to do today, go have a look around. Meet me back here at eleven."

As long as he could find his way back Lovino was good. He took off, hoping that way Antonio wouldn't have any time to give him more rules.

The only question now was where to start. With so many shops and a limited amount of time that was going to be hard, but Lovino was sure he's be fine. After all, what's the worst that could happen to him?
