Lovino woke up feeling exhausted. He blinked before sitting up and looking around. He spotted the dark cloaked figure in the corner, tossing things into a large pot. The figure glanced over and Lovino jumped slightly from seeing his red eyes. "No no. Go back to sleep," he said as he poured a red liquid into the pot. "I don't want to."
Vlad looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "Lovino, I am in the middle of a potion. You better lay down and sleep before I go over there." He went back to measuring something. "Then do it." Vlad looked back up to look at him. "What?"
"I said do it. Come over here." Lovino held a soft gaze and Vlad found himself blushing. "You're kidding right?" Lovino shook his head and Vlad sighed. He put down the vials and put out the fire before going over to the couch. "What?" He asked and Lovino scooted over. "Lay with me." Vlad sighed and removed his cloak before laying with Lovino, wrapping his arm around him as he cuddled close.
"If my order is late, then I will punish you for it. I'll like, turn you into a frog," Vlad said. "Hey." Vlad looked down at Lovino who watched him tiredly. "Kiss me." Vlad's eyes widened and he stared at Lovino. "K-kiss you?"
"Do you not want to?" Lovino asked. "No, I do! I.. I want to kiss you," Vlad said leaning in. "I want you. I want all of you, Lovino." Vlad closed the space between them and felt himself dizzy as he connected their lips. It didn't take long before Lovino was gasping and pulling Vlad closer. "Vladimir. I love you," he said tugging him close. "Say it again for me," Vlad whispered to him. "I love you, Vladimir." Vlad pulled away and looked at him. "I love you too Lovino. I love you so much," he said, leaning down and kissing him again.

Arthur was busy preparing a sundae when he heard a slam on the table beside him. He turned to Lukas who sat, head slammed on the table. "Lukas?! Are you that tired?" He asked. "Don't you feel it?" He asked lifting his head. "Feel what?" Arthur asked.
Lukas sat up and cleared his throat before singing, "Can you feel the love tonight?" Arthur face palmed. "I'm not psychic like you are." They heard footsteps beside them. "What's happening?" Matthieu asked as he lifted the sundae glass. "Oh Lovino and Vladimir are having s-"
"Don't expose him!" Arthur yelled. "What? Right now?!" Matthieu asked, flushing red. "No. But they might if I'm feeling these waves correctly," Lukas said lifting his book. "Seriously?!" Kiku asked, popping up beside them. "You never rest when bl is involved do you?" Lukas asked. Kiku shook his head and Lukas nodded. "Well... We can always spy on them," he said.
"Don't do that!" Matthieu scolded. "They're really doing this in my café," Arthur said frowning. "Arthur, if I remember correctly, you and Francis once-" Lukas was quickly interupted with a large mug being slammed in front of him. Lukas looked up at the scowling blonde from behind the book before taking the mug and taking a long sip. "But that's none of my business," he said.
"Oh my gosh. I can't believe it," Matthieu said still red. "It's all so sudden." "What do you mean, haven't you and Allistor already?" Arthur asked. "No. We haven't even actually kissed yet," Matthieu said. "Boo, how boring," Lukas said. "Eh?! Was I supposed too?" Matthieu asked. "Well, Allistor would have wanted too. I'm surprised he's gone this far without touching you," Arthur said, preparing another order. "O-oh." Matthieu looked down and walked away.
"Matthieu! That doesn't mean you should feel obligated to do it!" Lukas yelled after. "That's right. Take your time!" Kiku added. "Yeah. Make that wanker wait for you. Wait until he's begging on his knees!" Arthur yelled. Matthieu's head whiplashed back, flushed a bright red. "Eh?! Don't yell that out!"
...
Vlad came out of his chamber with a content look on his face. He walked over to the counter and began to take a cupcake. He stopped, staring at the cupcake as he bit back his smile with a blush. "Well now." He jumped up and looked at Minel looking at him. "Minel?! What are you doing here? Where's Aurel?" Minel had the smuggest look ever as he stared at Vlad. "Aurel went to he park with Peter. I was worried so I came to check on you, however as I was about to go into your chamber, I was stopped by an amazing force," he said.
"Oh? What force?" Vlad asked. "You know, the force of love," he said. Vlad flushed red and looked at him. "Did you hear?" He asked softly. "Hear? No you weren't that loud but I was stopped by the guys," he said pointing to the others huddled together and looking at him. "O-oh. Uhm, yeah." Vlad looked down with a derpy smile.
"I admit, I didn't think you were brave enough to go that far on the first day," Minel said holding back a laugh. "What do you mean?" Vlad asked. "I doubted you. But congratulations on loosing your virginity," Minel said patting his back. Vlad's eyes widened and his face flushed red as the cupcake he held was crushed.
"What?! I didn't go that far with him though!" Vlad yelled. "Who on earth told you that?" Minel looked over to the group and Vlad sent them a scowl as they nervously waved. "Well no. We just talked," Vlad said. "And maybe made out but I didn't touch him any other way," Vlad said. "Oh. Nevermind then," Minel said with a frown.
"By the way, here you go," Arthur said handing them an envelope. "What is it?" Vlad asked taking it. "Feliciano dropped it off," Arthur said as he opened it. He pulled out the white card filled with cartoony dragons. He opened it and the two friends read through the card together. "Lovino's surprise party?" Minel asked. "Yes, he really wants us to go," Arthur said. "Then we'll be there," Vlad said with a smile.
"Why dragons?" Minel asked, taking the card. "Dragons are cool," Vladimir said. Minel looked at him and it quickly clicked in his head. "Oh. Now I see," he said smugly. "In that case why don't we go gift shipping tonight," Minel said. Vlad nodded and Minel left to pick up Aurel.
...
Lovino felt uncomfortable as he walked out of the chamber. They all stared at him smugly and he knew what they were all thinking. "Oh hey, I have Friday's costume," Arthur said. The workers surrounded him as they closed. "Okay, first off let me say that this is all Lovino's fault," Arthur announced.
"Huh?! What's my fault?!" Lovino asked. "Well I made a bet with the frog. I lost the bet and now we have to dress this way Friday," Arthur said holding up the apron. "It's an apron?" Kiku asked. "Yes." They all looked at him confused. "This is all. It's only the apron. Nothing else," Arthur said. They all gawked at him. "Wait! What the hell was the bet?" Lovino asked. "I bet that you wouldn't date Antonio."
"Why would you bet on that?!" Lovino asked. "I had faith in you but you let us all down," Arthur said crossing his arms. "That is not okay! How could you?" Lovino asked. "Well he was talking about 'L'amour' and 'Antione' and I just couldn't stand it. I knew you hated him so I made the bet," Arthur said, imitating the French badly. "I hate you," Lovino said scowling.
"Well, he had his reasoning," Matthieu defended. "That's right. And while I did bet that we would wear this, I never said I'd let them in," Arthur said smugly. "What do you mean?" Lukas asked. "Gentlemen, Friday night is ladies only night," Arthur announced proudly. "If I'm going to show off my bum, it won't be to that perverted frog." Arthur smirked towards Lovino who had a smile back.
"That's right, Lovino. Girls. Just what you asked for," he said highfiving the Italian. "Uhm," Vlad said raising an eyebrow. "I'm a flirt, get used to it," Lovino said smiling. Vlad's eyes hardened and everyone else watched them with interest. "You want me to let others be all over you?" He asked darkly. "Just the ladies," Lovino said. Vlad crossed his arms. "Why would I allow it? They might steal you away," he said.
The remaining workers watched them back and forth. "Oh come on. I finally have you, I'm not stupid enough to let you out of my grasp," Lovino said. Vlad smirked and grabbed his waist. "Lovino Vargas, I'm going to keep you wrapped around my finger. I'll make sure no other person catches your eye," he said. Matthieu was blushing as Arthur gave Kiku napkins for his bleeding nose while Lukas was eating popcorn as he watched.
"Okay! Well yeah, this happened. See you tomorrow," Arthur shouted. They all split up and went home. Lovino went straight to his room and hugged the red dragon as he bit back a large grin. "Fratello! The pasta is do- are you blushing?" Feliciano asked smugly.
"What? No! Well.. maybe," he admitted. "What happened?" He asked excitedly. "Vlad and I are dating. We made out and his lips are so soft and he is so cute," Lovino squealed (in a manly way). Feliciano screamed and ran to his brother, hugging him excitedly. "This is great! I knew it would work out!" He yelled as Lovino actually hugged back from excitement.
"Nono! Lovi and Vladimir are dating!" Feliciano yelled as he pulled his brother into the kitchen. "Good! You better make me lots of cute great grandkids!" Roman said hugging Lovino. "N-nono! We're both male!" Lovino said flushing a bright red.
...
"And then Peter won the game," Aurel said. "That's not fair. I think you should have won," Vlad said as he ate dinner. "I think he won fair and square. It's only a game," Aurel said gaining approving nods.
Vlad's phone went off and he checked to see a message from Feliciano. He opened the message and saw a selfie of the teen with Lovino blushing crazily as his grandfather hugged him tightly. The caption read "congratulations! Guess who is a blushing mess today?" He smiled and sent a reply before putting his phone down. "What's for dessert?" He asked with a smile.
"Yogurt!" Minel said standing up. "But you said we were having icecream," Aurel said with a pout. "You have icecream then. I'm having yogurt," Minel said as he took out the tub.
...
Matthieu groaned and plopped himself onto bed. "Mattie! Dad says he wants you to help with the equipment," Alfred said walking into the room. "Uuuhhhggghmmm," he replied as his face was burried into the pillow.
"Dude, I already helped him with the garage. You know how many spiders there were? It's your turn to help," Alfred said jumping onto the top bunk. Matthieu sighed as he pushed himself up and went to help his dad clean their different equipments.
"Say dad?" He started as they continued. "Hm?" His violet eyes looked at Matthieu's. "Would you be angry if I dated someone a lot older than me?" Matthieu asked. "How much older?" He asked, looking through some boxes. "Twenty five," Matthieu said. "Well... Do you love this man?"
"I don't know, dad. He's a great guy, really. But I don't know if it's right. He is just so much older and we are so different. I don't think it would work but I still can't help but like him." Matthieu sighed and moved the box aside. "Then give it a try. You'll never know how things may work out. When I met your mother, she hated me," his father said with a small smile.
"She always said she would date an asshole before dating me. And look what happened," he said. "She married you," Matthieu said with a soft smile. "Yeah but not until after she dated the asshole," he said gaining a small laugh.
"Just give it a try. You shouldn't worry about age. You two aren't as far apart as you think." Matthieu smiled and nodded. "Thanks Papa." There was silence for a while. "I want to meet this guy though. Just to be safe," he said and Matthieu sighed before nodding. "But what about Alfred? Alfred won't like me dating him," Matthieu said. "Why not?" His father asked.
"Well you know Al. Besides, his friend has been hitting on me for a while now and Al is trying to get us together. He's a great guy too, really sweet, but since Allistor came along I've found him rather boring."
"What friend?" His father asked. "Gilbert Beilshmidt," Matthieu replied. His father started laughing. "Gilbert is boring compared to this guy, huh? Well then I'm expecting to be pleasantly surprised," he said with a smile. "Well, sure Gilbert is albino and eccentric but now that Allistor is here, Gilbert seems rather childish. Allistor is so mature and can be so.. mysterious at times," Matthieu said. "Gilbert is just so expected now."
His father raised an eyebrow as he held a smirk. "You must really like this guy. Well I support you, Mattie. As long as you're happy." Matthieu smiled and nodded.
