Several bowls and pans littered the kitchen, their contents spilling onto the countertop. Multiple plates were also scattered around the kitchen, holding chocolate cakes that hadn't quite turned out right; some were burned completely black, others had sunken, or fallen apart as they were taken out of their tin…

But the one cake that'd turned out just right was now being carefully iced and boxed up, ready to give away.

"Antonio better like this," Lovino growled aloud, blushing heavily as he thought of his crush.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-

The next day, Lovino waited rather impatiently for lessons to tick by (It's not like he was dying to see Antonio or anything!) until finally, break time came. He made his way over to Antonio just as he was packing up his stuff.

"Antonio!" Lovino called, holding out the cake he'd made. "I…got you this. Happy Valentine's day," he said embarrassedly.

Antonio smiled and accepted the cake. "You made this for me?" he questioned happily.

Lovino blushed and retorted, "Y-yeah. Just whipped it up in a hurry last night. Not like I…forget it!" and turned his face to the ground.

Antonio went through his bag and pulled out a small box of chocolates with a note attached. "Gracias, Lovino. I got you a little gift as well. Happy Valentine's day to you too!"

Lovino's heart raced as he took the gift. Could this mean…

Antonio's gaze shifted as he saw Arthur about to leave the classroom. "Lo siento, but I have to go. There's something I need to talk to Arthur about," the Spaniard said apologetically, taking his things and running over to the blonde.

Lovino looked on as the blushing Antonio pulled out a huge box of chocolates and gave it to the Brit. Arthur accepted it happily, and returned the favour with another gift. The two appeared to exchange a few words, before Arthur melted into Antonio's arms and the two shared a kiss.

Lovino stormed out of the classroom upon seeing the two's kiss, seething and holding back tears. Didn't Antonio love him?! If not, why would he have given him those chocolates?! But still what did it really matter in the end?

With nothing else to do, he opened the note attached to the chocolates.

Lovino,

You're such a good friend!

-Antonio

Lovino completely lost it then, and started to cry, tiny sobs that broke out every now and again. How dare he get me hopes up like that! He thought.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-

Later that night, Antonio opened the box he'd been given. His face fell as he saw what was iced on the cake.

Ti amo, Antonio.

He was suddenly overcome with guilt. I hope Lovino isn't too upset, Antonio thought…

I know it's a bit cliché, but I felt like writing more SpUK, and something a bit angsty, so I came up with this! See y'all later~
