Vargas Household
Lovino munched on the salad while completely ignoring any attempts at conversation made by the person sitting to his right (also known as Roma). So far any starting sentence had left Lovino less than amused with the possible directions the conversation could have gone, so might as well just not respond at all. Why was he here again?
"So…I stopped by the school on the way home."
Lovino looked up at his dad, not enough to lift his head from the direction of his bowl, but he at least lifted his gaze up. There's no way I'm going to even act like I'm listening to this.
"You two took a test in world history today…" Mr. Vargas slid his chair back far enough to grab two papers off of the stand behind him. He then scooted his chair back to the table.
"Is supper really an appropriate time to bring something like that up?" Roma asked, blinking.
'Thank you grandpa. I take back what I was thinking about you.' Lovino shot him a grateful look, not that he was looking in Lovino's direction anyhow.
"I seem to recall you talked about these things at the supper table a lot." Alexander responded flatly.
Lovino noticed his mother was suppressing a bout of laughter and mentally sighed. Going to be getting this conversation no matter what happened here.
Roma pouted, "That's because whenever you failed a test you locked yourself in your room until supper. I had a valid excuse for that."
Lovino took another mouthful of salad, munching on it without comment to the current conversation. When those two got started on how Roma had raised his dad it could go on for hours. Because more often than not, those two did not see eye-to-eye on how to raise children. Which is strange considering his dad was always claiming Roma did the same thing. Maybe he mellowed with age. Lovino shot a sideways glance at his grandfather. …That would imply he was serious at some point. HA.
"I did not!" Alexander quickly became flustered after that comment, "I only locked myself in my room when you were in one of your moods!"
"One of my moods? That sounds like a female when she's having cramps, ehm, no offense." Roma looked apologetically at his daughter-in-law.
Lovino shook his head. There went that metaphorical shovel again. Flinging the metaphorical dirt right over both their heads. Why did grandpa sit next to him anyway? There was space beside Feliciano (who apparently was ignoring the entire conversation as well).
"None taken. I think." Amelia sighed, shaking her head as well.
"And anyway, I did not have 'moods'. I had some moments where I was grumpy, but only because of a call from a certain someone's principal!" Roma made a face at his son.
Alexander was less than amused by having his conduct issues pointed out, "You had moods."
"Oh my word." Lovino dropped his fork and buried his face in his hands, "Would you two stop already? You sound like a couple of grade-schoolers." Antonio would be having a laughing fit at this, for sure.
Roma pouted and started eating again, "He started it."
"I did not!" Alexander snapped, "You're the one who brought up my bringing this test up at the table! You started it!"
Roma's turn to flush red apparently. Lovino let out a sigh of frustration and took it out on his lettuce by stabbing it with his fork. These two were impossible. How they got along long enough for his dad to survive through his childhood was beyond Lovino's imagination.
"Oh, get along you two." Amelia looked back and forth between the two before the argument got any farther, "Now then. Since the test has been well-brought up by this point, whether there are some agreements to that or not, let the disagreements rest for right now. Bring up the argument away from the supper table."
Roma just shook his head in silence and continued eating, making no further comment.
Lovino winced, accustomed to the 'moods' his grandfather had, he could tell quite easily that his grandfather was well beyond annoyed by this point. Not that he was showing it outwardly with his (immature) facial expressions.
"The test in world history, it was supposed to give an indication of your emotional standing at the current time…" Alexander sighed, apparently also aware of Roma's mood.
Lovino lifted his head enough to glare at his dad, silently daring him to bring up the answers he had written down.
"Feli, you were listed as good overall, but there was a note that was added to the bottom of your paper…" Alexander sensed Lovino's mood and quickly reverted his attention to the younger twin, leaving Lovino to finish eating.
Lovino noticed Roma was about to get up and reached under the table to put a hand on his arm, "Mom gets mad if someone leaves the table early." He whispered.
"I don't care." Roma smiled (NOT cheerfully by any standards) and stood up anyway, "I'm done." He wandered away from the table and out of the room before Amelia could stop him.
Amelia made a face and tapped her fork, in a rather annoyed manner, on the table.
Lovino sunk in his seat a bit and continued eating. Definitely some tension in the air now, not that there wasn't before.
"A note?" Feliciano asked, swallowing the mouthful he had.
Alexander, after watching Roma leave the room, turned to look at his wife, "…Should I go after him?"
"What note?" Feliciano blinked in confusion, tilting his head.
"You upset him, you fix it." Amelia pointed down the hallway with her fork.
"How did I upset him?" Alexander exclaimed.
Lovino slammed the fork down on the table and got up. Forget it. He stalked past his parents and went back upstairs to his room, rather amazed that there hadn't been anyone calling after him. Dad, you can be the most oblivious person in the world at times. He returned to his computer and glanced at the chatroom once more.
Lovino: =_=
LovisAntonio: :D you're back! *cheers* that was a fast supper
Lovino: Uh, yeah. And why haven't you gone yet?
LovisAntonio: *is suspicious~* I'm eating at the computer. Mom and dad aren't gonna be home for supper. *pout*
Lovino: I have never seen you suspicious.
GilbertofUnawesome: Oh mein gott~
Lovino: …new username?
GilbertofUnawesome: Ja. Because I can't talk to vati to save my life.
Antonio: D: Aw, poor Gilbert!
Lovino: You changed your username now?
LovisAntonio: Aw~ it's okay Lovi, I'll go back to this one!
Lovino: *bashes head on desk*
GilbertofUnawesome: You two are so cute~ *laughs*
Lovino: Don't you dare call me cute. *glower* And why do you need to talk to your dad?
GilbertofUnawesome: …no reason. Just to talk.
LovisAntonio: I'm suspicious~
Lovino: =_=
Roma signed in!
Roma: :D
Lovino: Oh great. Now you're in here.
Roma: Of course I am. *pout*
Lovino looked over his shoulder as his dad peered in the room, "What?"
"Your test…" Alexander held up the paper uncertainly.
"I know already. I need to improve on my emotions and whatever else crap you're about to say." Lovino waved his hand around dismissively.
"…" Alexander made a face, "You could at least try."
"I AM trying!" Lovino snapped, "Does this not look like trying to you?!"
"I meant you could at least try to listen to what I was about to say." Alexander buried his face in his hands. "Don't be so quick to react to everything."
"The history of this conversation made my answer a safe assumption on where this was going." Lovino scowled at him, "And instead of standing here repeating some crap that we both already know, go apologize to grandpa."
Roma: I can hear them from here.
LovisAntonio: D: Aw, are they fighting?
Roma: Sounds that way. Maybe I should go intervene.
GilbertofUnawesome: …wouldn't that make it worse?
Roma: Probably, what's up with your username anyway? I don't remember the 'un'
GilbertofUnawesome: don't ask.
LovisAntonio: :D …
Lovino: =_= Dad left.
Roma: That was fast.
Lovino: And he's going over to your room more than likely.
Roma: *insert some curse word here*
Roma has signed off
LovisAntonio: Aw, he signed off D:
Lovino: No, I don't think he did.
GilbertofUnawesome: Boy when your dad wants to talk he just shuts off the computer.
Lovino: Because grandpa refuses to listen when he's in a bad mood -_-
GilbertofUnawesome: Oh that's just terrific. Unawesome vati, unawesome me, und a ticked-off-unawesome-failure-of-a-counselor
LovisAntonio: The name is just getting longer.

Lovino: No I got the gist of it already.
LovisAntonio: You know your family should totally do a bonding time.

Lovino: Uh, no
GilbertofUnawesome: NOT HAPPENING.

GilbertofUnawesome: Ja it says Roddy is a boring person who can't come up with a better name
Roderich: You have fun insulting me. I can make sure mother does not let you in when you come over.

Roma: XD

Roma: it seemed necessary, how long did it take you to break the door?
