All the rest of the day and all through the night, Lovino did nothing but think. He thought about what would happen to him and Feliciano, he really didn't want to see his twin get hurt. Around 3:3o in the morning, Feliciano woke up and wandered to their office. He noticed his older brother sitting in his chair, hands folded over each other, eyes wide, and his body practically shaking. It looked as if he was slowly going insane. Feliciano was a little scared and very worried.
"F-Fratello...?"
"...Go back to bed..."
"Fratello, are you okay?"
"...I said go back to bed..."
"No."
The younger Italian approached his brother and lifted his head.
"You go to bed."
"I can't sleep..."
"...You won't sleep...You're still thinking about it..."
Lovino hugged his brother.
"Feli, jail is terrible! We'll get life and most likely be sentenced to death because of the Mafia!"
"Fratello..."
"I don't wanna die, I'm only 16! I'm too young to die!"
"Fratello."
"I'm a wreck! I'll never see Toni aga-"
He was cut short by his younger brother's hand going across his face.
"Lovino Vargas, calm down!"
"F-Fratello?"
"Listen to me. I'm scared too, but I'm not gonna let it get to me. You're the older brother, I look up to you, but you freaking out isn't helping either of us. I'm sorry that I slapped you, but please. You have to calm down."
Lovino let go of his brother and looked away. Feliciano dropped to his knees so he was eye level with the other Italian. He caressed his brother's face gently.
"Ti amo, Lovino..."
Feliciano reached under their desk and pulled out a little black box.
"I know you promised me and Antonio that you'd quit, but I think you really need this. You're a total mess, so this one is excused. "
He handed his brother a cigarette and a lighter.
"Enjoy it. This is the last one you're going to have for a very long time."
Lovino lit it immeadiately and re-adjusted himself to a more comfortable position.
"Grazie Fratello."
The younger Italian smiled and sat in his sighed.
"I just don't know how we're gonna pay it and what's going to happen to us if we don't..."
"Don't worry, Fratello. We'll figure something out..."
"I hope you're right, Fratello..."
Finally, they both went to bed. Feliciano wasn't that tired, but fell back asleep for two more hours. At 6:30, Feliciano woke back up and woke everybody else up for work. Antonio woke up and walked right into Lovino's room.
"Lovi~"
He noticed that his adorable Italian lover was still asleep. The younger Italian sibling walked in and smiled.
"Don't wake, Lovi... He's been up all night..."
"Why? Working?"
"Worrying..."
"What about?"
"I...really shouldn't tell you...He doesn't want you to be involved with it. It's something just for me and him to be worried about, even though you do deserve to know."
"Concerning the Mafia?"
"Si... but it would affect you too so i don't know why Fratello won't tell you, or anybody else"
"Oh... is it that bad?"
"Si..."
Antonio nodded, leaned down and kissed Lovino's forehead.
"I don't want him to worry too much..."
Later, when Lovino woke up, he had a cup of coffee while talking to his brother. Feliciano grapped an energy drink out of the fridge.
"Fratello?"
"Si?"
Antonio knows something's wrong... We should tell him."
"It's none of his concern..."
"But you love him."
"So?"
"He deserves to know! If we get arrested, so does everybody else! Included Toni!"
Lovino looked down, he knew his brother was right. Antonio did need to know. He let out and called to Belgium. She rushed in.
"Yes, sir?"
"Call and emergency meeting. This is something that they all need to know, including you."
"Right away, sir."
'Antonio... if we can't settle this, I'll never see you again...'
