Jealousy Is An Italian Monster

After a small talk with Feliks which ended rather abruptly as the Pole began drifting off at the table, Feliciano went to go see Lovino to tell him what he and Ludwig had done. Of course they were not the be all end all decision, but now Lovino did not have to worry about all of those cake choices! He was still filled with a very exact sense of gratefulness that he had been directly asked (Lovino never asked him to do things for him!) and was going to tell Lovino all about it.

When he saw his grandfather's motorcycle on Antonio's lawn he remembered that his grandfather was here.

"Grandpa~!" Feliciano burst in to see the three of them there, Marcus and Lovino sitting on the couch and Antonio lounging in his armchair.

"Feli~!"

Feliciano ran over to hug him as Marcus opened up his arms for the movement. He did not stand up though, not that Feliciano minded. "When'd'ya get a motorbike?"

"It was a gift from my girlfriend! See, here's a picture."

"She's really beautiful!"

"I know! She's stunning! Her name is Lucia~"

Something seemed wrong. Maybe it was the way that Marcus grinned at him, took the picture back and stuffed it into his pocket and turned his head away. Feliciano tried to think about what exactly about that was wrong, but nothing came to mind. He was probably just imagining things. "Ludwig and I picked through the cakes for you!"

Lovino scowled. "Ludwig? He has no taste!"

"Yes he does! Anyway, I ate everything he did, so there!"

"Now now, boys..." Marcus tutted. "Feliciano, don't start a fight with your brother~"

Feliciano opened his mouth to say something, but then he realized he had just been told off. "Oh! I'm sorry Lovi..." Lovino was busy gaping like a fish for some reason. "I didn't mean to be mean! Lovino!"

"Oh Lovi, stop being silly," Antonio chided. Lovino turned to look at Antonio, but his expression did not change.

"Lovino, what were you saying before Feli came in?" Marcus asked, pulling at one of Lovino's cheeks. That seemed to snap him out of whatever funk he was in so that he started to talk again.

Feliciano, however, suddenly realized what was wrong. He was here. Feliciano was here and yet his grandfather was not paying attention to him. Feliciano could not comprehend this because this had never happened before.

Not... not that it mattered! Lovino was getting married, after all. He had a lot to talk about!

Feliciano bit his lip, everything he wanted to say now rattling around in his brain and his eyes watching the entire situation for the single moment when the other three would be quiet and he would be allowed to say everything he wanted to say.

Lovino was smiling, laughing.

Feliciano swallowed down the feeling (whatever it was) and let Lovino have the spotlight.


Notes:

Yeah, Marcus and Ludovicus came on MOTORCYCLE. Ludo was in the sidecar. Ludovicus was not happy. But as always, in the end, Marcus usually gets his way.

And at his age, Marcus is still getting girls. Damn, but he is good. Anyway, about Lucia. She is Germanic, has long blonde hair, rather serious and career oriented. Sound like anyone else you might have heard of?

Antonio, Feliciano, and Marcus in the same room... for some reason does not hurt too much. Probably because Marcus is actually focused on Lovino, Feliciano is actually jealous, and Antonio is distracted by talking to Marcus about the wedding. Ergo, none of them are being too annoying. Weird that.
