"Hey Toni!" Francis called out as I grabbed my bag from my locker. I shook my head and smiled at him.

"Hola, what's up?" I shut my locker and turned to see a beet red Gilbert. Francis whipped out his hot pink and navy blue phone and snapped a picture.

"Ohonhonhonhon! You look like one of Toni's tomatoes. Mon ami what 'appened?" Francis grinned like a mad man. I mean, he was mad so that wasn't such a stretch. Gil looked happier than I've ever seen him. I could only imagine why, could it be Ludwig was nice to him or didn't ignore him?

"I kissed my soulmate!" Gil laughed and smiled as we walked towards the front door. He also had such a pep in his step I wanted to check him for a fever. His blushed face reminded me of the color of Lovi's lips. Speaking of him, I invited him over to my house. Wait, oh mierda, I need to get to the front of the school before he thinks I was joking. I saw the time and started to walk faster.

"Toni?" I escalated my speed, sprinting to the front door cursing like a sailor in Spanish. I tripped on the stairs falling a whole flight and barely landing on my feet. I tripped on my shoelace and fell right into the man, the myth, the legend-

"ANTONIO FERNANDEZ CARRIEDO GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" Lovino Vargas, looked me dead in the eye as red appeared on his face and I got nervous.

"I-'m so s-s-sorry!" I put my hands up and backed away slowly. He walked towards me sighed and dragged me by the back pack out the door.

"Why don't you grab my hand?" I grinned waiting for an answer. His face turned into a tomato and he just ran faster. I ran ahead of him dragging him onto the bus. We sat down in the same seat.

"I'm so sorry I was late Lovi, my locker was jammed, and Francis had to help me." I tried to find the words that would make him accept my apology but came up at a blank when he started to snicker.

"Matt and the Albino Potato are together in front of us!" He whisper yelled in my ear. His smile was so bright I thought I needed sunglasses. I had only seen him smile once before so this was a treat.

"You ship them?" smirked as he was peeking at the two boys having a make out session in the seat in front of us.

"I want Matt to be happy. He is one of my only friends." He looked me in the eyes and I felt my self lean towards him.

"What if all I want is you to be happy?" I whispered softly as I brushed my lips against his ear.

"Ch-ch-chigi!" His blush deepened into a maroon red.

"Look at the love birds!" Gilbert poked his head over the seat laughing at my blush.

"We're not love birds but you are!" I retorted as I held Lovi back.

"Ve~ Fratello's in loove!" Feliciano sang from across the aisle. He was sitting with Ludwig, Gilbert's brother.

"Shut-a your mouth fratellino!" Lovi shifted his body in front of me. His joyous fanboy grin was but a memory in my mind.

"Lovino, trade places with me." Feli's eyes grew dark and I gulped as the brothers traded places. Lovino has a sadistic smirk on his face while Feliciano had a maniacal grin.

"If you-a break my fratello's heart I will-a feed you too our cat Pookie and chew you out. . . " Lovino continued threatening Ludwig as Feli turned to me and frowned.

"If you dare hurt my fratello in any way at all I will wipe your face off the earth, grind it into the ground, and run over it with a Ferrari." Feli's eyes held dark mischief. "I will proceed to make you into pasta and eat you!" He beamed and traded back with Lovino.

"Are you okay?" Lovi turned to me nervously. I gulped and gave him a reassuring look. He only shot his eyebrow up and gave me the yeah right look. I smiled and was about to say something when the bus stopped at my house.

"Come on Lovi!" We walked off of the bus and I led him into my house. It was usually empty nowadays. My parents were on a long business trip, and my older brother was in college. I motioned to a seat on the old faux leather couch next to me.

"Why couldn't you have grabbed my hand as you dragged me to the bus?" I smiled as he held his wrist close to his chest. I reached my hand out towards him. Completely unaware my letters were showing.

"I don't know the last time you cleaned your hands!" Lovi interjected. He gazed at my wrist ,and before I could think about it he grabbed my wrist and saw the letters. I felt warmth caress over my entire body,

"Lovi?" His hazel-green eyes bore into my very soul. . .
