EYYYYYYY! Ugh I had this really cute as hell idea because Ivan is just so cute to me now! XD Dudes, it won't happen in this chapter but there will be a chapter in the future where this eally cute part happens. I'll let you know when it is. Also when this story ends, do you remember thtat Alien Invasion Bonus story a few chapters ago? Well~ I'll just let you know now that even after this story ends there will be a lot of bonus chapters focusing on other characters and their story lines plus what happens after.

Ivan, Feli, and Felix passed their tests. They were all very happy about it. But you don't wanna hear about that. The three friends decided to celebrate with hot chocolate. January was coming to and end and in another week or so Valentines day would be upon them. How fun is that? Feli sat in the cold, his nose turning pink as he sipped his warm drink. The others had a similar look but feli wore it the best. Today Ivan was wearing his scarf, his sister deciding he wore that better. Felix was dressed to the point where Scott Schuman would stop him in the street and beg to know where he got his clothes, that stylish mofo.

Things were quiet after the fight, and really there was no time for Ivan and Feli to talk about what almost happened at Felix's house. But there was plenty of time to think about it, and dread over it, and hope for it to possibly happen again. That's where Felix comes in. In the nearby starbucks felix saw his latest well to do crush, Toris of the Baltic Trio. He grinned at Ivan and Ivan gave him a helpful push. The swanky pink lad walked off, "I'll be back in a jiffy."

It was quiet for a moment, but then Feli spoke up, "Ivan… I've been meaning to talk to you."

Ivan stiffened, the almost kiss was way too foreword on his part, "Yeah… I've been meaning to talk to you about it."

"So you know. I heard them talking the other day but I don't know who they were."

"Wait, someone knows!?"

"I guess, I mean… I scared for you Ivan. You barely got away once."

"It wasn't so bad."

It was obvious to us that Ivan was talking about the almost kiss while Feli was talking about the voices in the hallway. Oh, sweet little kids.

"Hey Shit Head!"

They looked up at that point to see Feli's brother Lovino, making his first real appearance. I mean he's been in this story but these are his first important lines. Ivan stared at Lovino for a minute, then looked away realizing that his first real contact with the boy was when he accidentally molested him.

"What is it fratello?"

"WHAT IS IT!? LOOK WHO YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH!? THIS ONE'S WORSE THAN THAT GERMAN SAUSAGE FEST!? I'D RATHER YOU WENT BACK WITH HIM!"

"Stop it Lovino! There's no way you could hate Ivan more than you hate Ludwig!"

"I HATE-A THEM BOTH!"

"And stop with the southern Italian accent, you're not even Italian anymore!"

"How-a dare you! You have an accent!"

"Yeah but it's not as bad as yours! Seriously! We visited Italy once when we were like five and you act like youre a native! We were in Milan!"

"FELI! WHY ARE-A YOU ACTING THIS WAY!?"

"Because I-" Feli caught himself, stuttering a little bit, "He's my friend."

Lovino was not fooled, in fact he was horrified. He knew his brother all to well, they basically shared a brain… which would explain so much actually. Lovino saw the word "love" forming in Feli's eyes and basically, Lovino decided he would have to go full assassins creed on these players. But before Lovino could defeat Ivan once and for all and maybe get Feli back with that German creep, or better yet, make him asexual, Lovino was wrapped in the tan arms of 20XX's sexiest man alive.

"Lovi~ What are you doing~" It was Antonio.

And suddenly Feli had the upper hand, "Is this a date, Lovi~"

Lovi groaned and shoved Antonio off of him, "No it's not. I was walking home and fuck face was stalking me again."

Antonio smiled, "I'll take care of I Lovi~ You go on ahead alright?"

Lovino blushed with a pissy face, it was undeniably cute. The Italian dragged his brother off with him and walked ahead. Ivan sighed with relief, Antonio didn't look angry or anything. He was sure this would be fine.

"Ivan?"

"Yes?" Ivan smiled at Antonio.

Antonio blushed and took a step closer to the Russian, "Look, I really like Lovino. Like, I plan to marry him, even if he says no you know?"

Ivan nodded, understanding the sentiment… wait what?

"And because I care about Lovi so much, obviously I care about his brother too! Francis told me he saw you and Feli getting kind of close and it wasn't until the fight I saw just how close. I came here basically," he blushed scratching the back of his head, "to tell you to stay away from Feli or else he'll be broken and if that happens I'll burn your house down and burry you alive in my tomato garden. Si?"

Ivan stared, wondering why no one seemed to ever be afraid of Antonio, oh because he's shockingly beautiful. Damn all beautiful people and their easy lives… then again they say beauty drives people crazy. That explains so much.

"I don't understand," Ivan said.

Antonio was very confused by this, his expression darkened, "What do you mean?"

Ivan took in a nice breath of frozen air, "You said you've seen how close we're getting, so you should be able to see how much I care about him. Why do you think I'll hurt him?"

"I don't think you'll hurt him, in face when I look in your eyes when you look at Feli, I can recognize what I see. It's the same way I look at Lovi. I trust that you care about him, but it's because of that you have to leave him. Tell him you don't need him anymore or something. I don't care what it is, just distance yourself."

"But why?"

"Ask Francis, he's the one who told me to come warn you."

"What that staying with Feli is dangerous for me?"

Antonio looked very unimpressed, "No, it's dangerous for Feli."

Before Ivan could ask any more questions Antonio's face changed again. The Spanish boy was smiling and said he had to catch up with Lovi. Ivan stayed behind and watched him run off. Danger? And then what Feli was saying earlier stuck out in his head. He wasn't talking about kissing, he was talking about this. Someone is actually out to get them? But who? That's a stupid question but even so, Ivan didn't want to just throw blame around randomly.

The next days were quiet, and Ivan found that Francis was skipping town for some family thing. What was going on? Ivan noticed notes coming to his locker daily. They were just blank pieces of paper and it was all very ominous and creepy. Ivan tried to avoid Feli, he didn't want him to get mixed up in all of this weirdness. He even stopped talking to his friends. Suddenly Ivan was feeling very dark and alone and no one knew why he was doing this. Should he tell a teacher? Fuck that, the only one that would maybe listen to him would be Mr. Cornwallis and he's about as helpful to a student as a shot in the foot.

It was after school about a week later that one of his friends actually came to talk to him about it. The others had tried but the others weren't as persistent as Matthew.

"Yo Ivan," he said lighting a cigarette, "What's been up with you?"

"Oh, Hey Matthew. Nothing really?"

Matthew cringed, "Then why have you been acting so weird?"

"I-I'm not acting weird?"

Matthew sauntered over to Ivan and stepped on his smoke, putting it out, "You're a terrible liar Ivan, worse than me."

He stopped, something was off about Matthew, "I was told that someone's out to get me. I don't want anyone to mess with you guys."

Matthew laughed at this, "Look who you're talking to."

Ivan nodded, "Yes, I know you and Arthur and them can probably kill someone if you need… I'm talking about Feli really."

This struck a chord with Matthew, the boy's eyes widening behind his glasses as he suddenly appeared right in Ivan's face, raising his hand to slap him, "Feli Again!?"

"M-Matthew?"

His hand fell onto Ivan's shoulder and Matthew's face fell, "Why is it Feli? It's always Feli… and it was funny at first but… I mean I never thought…"

"Matthew?"

The Canadian boy looked up and glared, biting his lower lip, "What if I told you I liked you?"

"You what?"

Matthew punched Ivan in the shoulder, "You fucking heard me, Ivan! I like you! I wanna go out with you and do all that fluffy shit!"

"Fluffy?"

"Shut up Ivan! Don't you like me!?"

"I do! I mean sure I do… just not…"

"Not in that way, yeah yeah. I got it," Matthew huffed, and for the first time Ivan could see the resemblance between Matthew and Alfred, in a good way, "Ivan… can't you just learn to like me like that? I won't make you go through everything alone like Feli does. I'll fight by your side, I'll run away with you if you wanna try that again. Or have I lost you completely?"

"Matthew, you haven't lost me!"

"Yes I have. This always happens. I do all this shit for people and I wake up empty, I have nothing. Can't I just get something in return? And you! Haha! To think I'd fall for you of all people. I remember when I first saw you, you didn't see me of course, no one did. No one can see me, not even Alfred half the time. I thought to myself 'what a sap. I'm the lucky one. I'd rather be invisible than be him. Everyone hates him.' And then you showed up at the club, a total dork. I was wondering what happened to the ass hole that beat me up in the bathroom in freshman year? And then when Felix told me you were interested in Feli, I bent over laughing. I was so sure that would never become a thing! Still, for whatever reason I thought 'yeah, why not. We're all just losers at the end of the day, why not help the kid out?' And then I got to know you. I felt like shit about everything I had ever thought or said about you. And then I was angry, why couldn't I be like you? You're an idiot… no, I'm an idiot. But it's you're heart Ivan, and maybe your hands too. You're not shallow like the rest of us, you- you're magic! You can make anyone happy! You don't even have to try. I'm such an ass, I only liked you because you were the one guy that had it worse than me."

Ivan stared as Matthew gave his deep rooted confession.

"I'm not even coherent. What I'm saying is… You can't smile all the time, at least that's what I thought. And then I met you! I met you Ivan and you were like… a freaking comet, shooting across the sky. You can't hide from your world like I can, but you don't want to hide. You try to actually face it. But you still sit and listen to people like me… and you can see me. You don't care that I'm off my rocker, you accept it. You accept all of us. You found a way to be friends with us. That's why I fell for you. And saying it all out loud now makes me want you to be with someone else. I'm sure this is what Felix was thinking when he threw in the towel. I don't like you for you, I love you for what you do for me. You want nothing in return for your kindness, but I'll back down. How's that? It's not enough to repay your kindness."

"Matthew I don't-"

"Save it. Just don't cut me out again. I want you to be happy Ivan. When that happens I'll be free. Let's kill the guys fucking with you and go get your man."

"Matthew?"

"Fuck what?"

"… Thank you…. For being my friend."

And then Matthew started to cry. I took his glasses off and cried and Ivan held onto him.

"W-what are you doing?"

Ivan smiled down on him, "hug therapy."

"Heh heh, that's funny. Sounds like a dumb name for a teen movie?"

"Or a really long fictional story."

"Yeah, that sounds right."

Matthew laughed and started crying again, rubbing his face in Ivan's chest, "I feel like Alfred. I fucking hate him you know? He's as dirty as I am but everyone likes him and listens to him… AND SEES HIM! Fuck him, he's been going crazy lately…"

And then it clicked between them, "Alfred… Alfred is the one who's been making all of this happen."

"Yeah, but he couldn't do it on his own, he's as stupid as I am," Matthew said.

"You're not stupid Matthew."

"Thanks buddy."

They continued to speculate, unaware of the tan ears listening to them.

Bitches! It's coming along! We finally are building to the final fight and the story will be ending at some point. Haha. 4th wall, brought to you by Matthew Williams. Look foreword to the next chapter. I'm planning some serious Spamano!
