Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia
Sorry for the short chapter. I was expecting this chapter to be a little longer but I guess it just didn't happen.
Just to let you guys know: the beginning with Lukas follows after the previous chapter; the rest of this chapter happens the next day; and the last part with Lukas was hours after the interaction between Emil and Marcello.
"This can't be happening..." Lukas is very conflicted. Panic and anxiety is rising within him. He began to feel dizzy, so he grabbed a chair and took a seat on it. He buried his face in his hands. Everything got very complicated. He felt like he's going to cry. He is in love with Feliciano, his best friend. Friends aren't supposed to feel this way for each other.
What should he do? How can he tell this to Feliciano? How would Feliciano even feel if he finds out? Will he accept his feelings or will it go unrequited? If the answer is the latter, would they still be friends? What if they do become a couple and later they break up?
So many questions, so many risks and only one way to find out. The question is just...does he even want to know the answer? Lukas sighed and moved his hands away from his face, resting them on his chin. It's a big problem but what should he do? He have never been in this situation before. How can he even face Feliciano after this shocking discovery?
Everything have gotten really difficult.
"Emil!" Marcello shouted, running towards the silver-haired boy. Emil stopped and turned around to see the brunette boy. By an accident, the two teenagers bumped into each other and they would fall to the floor, had they not quickly regained their balances. Emil frowned at him and pushed the other boy away lightly. "Marcello, be more careful. You almost knocked me down." He scolded him.
Marcello smiled sheepishly at him. "Sorry, it's just...there is something I want to ask you."
Emil raised an eyebrow. "Really? What is it?" Marcello gave him a small smile. "As you know, we are good friends." The young Italian told him. Emil nodded. He must admit that while he is still getting used to him, Emil found that he doesn't mind Marcello's company. "Yes, so?"
"So, I have been thinking of something: how about we do something together this weekend?" Marcello suggested. "I mean, that is if you're not too busy and if you want to."
"Hm..." Emil considered the suggestion. After he thought it through, he gave his answer. "Sure. I don't see why not."
Marcello grinned at the response. "Really? That's great!" He surprised the other boy when he hugged him. Emil blushed at the sudden contact; he isn't used to get hugs from others that isn't his brother. "E-easy now." He told the brunette boy, stammering a bit. Marcello released him from the embrace, still smiling at him. "Any idea what we should do?" He asked him curiously. Emil began to ponder. Yes, what can they do?
He got an idea. "Well, Lukas and I did visit you and your brothers. How about you visit us?"
"What a good idea. Sure, we can do that. Of course I need to ask them but I'm sure it won't be a problem."
"So it's settled?"
"Yes, it's settled." Marcello said. "I have to go to my class now. But see ya later." Emil remembered that he have to go to his own class too, he can't get into trouble with his teacher. As he made his way to his class, Emil began to think. Marcello might be too happy for his own good sometimes, but he isn't so bad when you get to know him.
Lukas wished he knew how to deal with this situation. He have always thought that falling in love with your friend was only possible in the movies, but now he's experiencing it himself. What should he do with the whole thing? If anything goes wrong, their friendship could be ruined. He can't let his stupid feelings ruin the special bond between them. And what about Feliciano?
It took him a while before he got over his break-up but it had been going in the right direction. What would happen if it doesn't work? Losing a lover is one thing, sometimes they come and go, but losing a friend can be really hard for some people. Feliciano could be upset again and his heart will be broken again. Lukas would never forgive himself if he did that to him.
He got startled when he heard the door slammed. Emil must have come home from school. How long had he been in his thoughts? Lukas ignored the question as he went to greet his brother. Perhaps spending some time with him can help him forget his problem for a little while. However, he is full aware that this kind of problem won't go away immediately. He wanted to do something about this, but he didn't knew how. Oh, how he wished he did.
