And here's another chapter!
I was surprised with how many reviews the first ones got W Thank you all!
Oh, btw I seem to realize that instead of using human names I sometimes use their nation names, I guess it's a habit, but if you see a nation name I'm sorry ^w^;
And I used the name Augustus for Roman Empire's human name. (Not to be confused with Holy Roman Empire)
AUGUSTUS
Means "great" or "venerable", derived from Latin augere "to increase". Augustus was the title given to Octavian, the first Roman emperor. He was the adopted son of Julius Caesar who rose to power through a combination of military skill and political prowess. This was also the name of three kings of Poland.
(You know cuz he's old *shot*)
And here we go!
"Wait. Did you say… Antonio?" Feliciano asked.
Antonio is a family friend. How does he know about him?
"Don't worry Feli-"Roderich started to say but Alfred jumped in front of him in his face.
"Oh come on, Roddie! Can I tell him?" Roderich glared at him.
"Only the basics." He whispered. "Ok!"
Alfred did a 180 degree turn and jumped to Feliciano. "Ok. I'll answer your questions you asked earlier! Are you ready?" Alfred asked to Feliciano, and Feliciano could only do a small nod.
"Ok. The reason I know you is because I knew your dad. You dad and my dad used to be… err… how would you say it? Drinking buddies I guess." Feliciano looked confused. "Ve? What are you…?" "Hold on let me continue. Your dad and my dad met in a bar, and became friends almost instantly. When our parents would drink, they mostly come to my dad's house." Alfred stopped to to let Feliciano take it all in. "So… that's where he went?" Feliciano asked. "Yeah. For the most part. And when they would get drunk, your dad would always talk about stuff that goes on in his life and his sons like they was his prize possessions. He really loved you and your brother."
This is so confusing. But… It makes me feel good to hear that he loved us.
Feliciano smiled a little, and a tiny tear, almost barley seen, came to his eye.
"He he, no need to cry." Alfred said, wiping the tear away from his eye. "Since your dad always talked about you two I asked him where he sent you two. He said he sent you to Roderich's house and your brother to Antonio's." Alfred took a break for a breather. Feliciano just stood there, thinking over what he just heard, which was a lot. "So… how do you know Antonio?" Feliciano asked. "Well… I got curious."
Flashback…
"Hey, Mr. Vargas?" A 9 year old Alfred said while walking up to the very tall man. "No need to be so formal!" The man laughed. "Just call me Augustus." The man said. Alfred nodded. "Ok then, Augustus. What does your children look like?" Alfred asked. Augustus looked over to him and smiled. "Oh, just the most adorable little kids in the entire universe!" He liked to brag about his children when the topic came up. Augustus reached in his pocket, took out his wallet, and took out a small folded paper. He opened it up to Alfred, revealing a picture with Feliciano and Lovino, around 4 years old, being held by Augustus with the most biggest smile ever. Yes, indeed. They were cute. "Can I meet them?" Alfred asked. "Hmm…" Augustus thought. I'm going to take my children to the park right after this. Do you want to come?" He asked. Alfred's eyes widened. "I really can?" Alfred questioned. "Only if it's ok with your father." He responded. Alfred ran into the kitchen and came out with a big smile on his face. "He said yes."
After a couple of minutes of walking, they finally got to Antonio's house first. Alfred looked up at the big building and asked "Is this where Feliciano is being held?" "No. This is where Lovino is." Alfred looked a little disappointed. He didn't not want to see Lovino, he just wanted to see Feliciano more. They walked to the door and rang the door bell. "Hey, Antonio! I'm here for my kid!" Augustus yelled. The door opened slowly and out came a little child, eating a tomato with a pout. "I's about time you came te pick me up." The little child managed to say. "He's being mean to me." The little child pointed toward the door, revealing a medium height man, around 18 years old. "Oh, come on Lovino, I was only teasing you!" The man said with a smirk. Alfred pointed to the man. "Antonio?" Augustus nodded. "Antonio, this is Alfred. The child of Arthur." Augustus introduced them. Antonio reached his hand out for a shake. "Nice to meet you, little Alfred." Alfred stared at the hand, and then shook it. "You too." He responded. "Oh, my, he has manners?" Antonio remarked. "As a child of Arthur, I expected him to look away in disgust, like he did with me." "No. I sort of do my own thing." Alfred responded. Augustus looked at his watch. "Oh! Better go pick up the other one! Bye Antonio!" He said while waving and walking off the driveway. "Hope to see you soon!" Antonio waved back.
"Hey, daddy?" Lovino tugged on Augustus's shirt. "Yes?" Augustus responded. "Am I goin' t' see fratello now?" "Yes, we're almost there."
Alfred, Augustus, and Lovino walked up to what looked like a mansion. "Is this where Feliciano is?" Alfred looked up and asked. "Yep. Roderich is sort of… rich."
As they were walking to the front door, they could hear the sound of a piano playing. "Ah. Looks like he's at it again." Augustus said. Alfred just looked at him with a confused look.
Augustus rang the doorbell, and the music stopped. When the door opened, there was a man with brown, sort of slicked back hair, and a little cow lick pointing out of his head, just like Alfred. "Come here to pick him up?" The man stated. "Yeah. Now where is he?" Augustus replied. "Just a minute."
When he said that he turned around and called for a person named 'Feli.' Which must be Feliciano, Alfred concluded.
When Roderich turned back around, a small little child was standing there. Alfred's face turned to a complete blush. He was looking at the most adorable and cute child he had ever seen in his entire life. Now he knew that Augustus wasn't lying when he said that his son was the most adorable little child ever.
"Ve! Papa! Fratello!" The little child, Feliciano, shouted when he got full view of the people at the door.
"Ah! My little cute child!" Augustus announced as he picked up the little child, with Lovino in his hands. "Ve! Bello vederti, Fratello!" Little Feliciano said to his brother. He simply nodded.
"I'm sorry to just show up and leave but... I have some business to attend to." Augustus said to the man at the door. "Yeah, can't be helped." He responded, while turning around. "Just don't get lost."
"Ah, was that Roderich just now?" Alfred asked Augustus. "Yep! He may seem a little rude, but that's just his normal attitude." Augustus felt two little tugs at his shirt. "Ve, who iz that boy over ther?" Feliciano managed to say. Feliciano was quite young, so he still couldn't talk very fluently. "Oh, that's Arthur's son." Augustus replied. Feliciano's face turned to terror. "H's not like 'im, is he?" Feliciano started to cry. This stunned Augustus. "No! No! He is a very nice gentleman." Augustus reassured Feliciano.
They got to the park and Feliciano's and Lovino's eyes grew wide. "Ve! You di'nt say we was goin to the park, Papa!" Feliciano cried out. "I wanted to make it a surprise!" Augustus sat Feliciano and lovino down on the ground so they could walk. "How about Alfred show you guts just how nice he is by playing with you?" Augustus smiled and said. "Ah! Ok!" Feliciano smiled, grabbed Alfred's hand, (and he totally DID NOT blush W) and went to the swings. Alfred helped push Feliciano and Lovino on the swings. Augustus sat on a bench and watched. It was a beautiful scene. "I think they're gunna be just fine." He said with a happy, but sad face.
End Flashback…
"And that was the first time I met you, Lovino, Roderich, and Antonio. I still kept in contact with Roderich and Antonio, but lost contact with you and your brother. You probably don't remember because you were so young." Alfred finally finished.
Feliciano just stared back at Alfred, who was smiling.
I don't remember this at all. But it would explain some things…
"Well, it's a very detailed story, so I can't say it's a complete lie." Feliciano turned to Roderich. "Is it true?" He asked. "Yes, unfortunately. The more he grew up, the more he wouldn't leave me alone." Roderich's face turned into one of disgust. "Oh come on, you know you love my presence!" Alfred said while hugging Roderich in a death grip. "But… wait." Feliciano perked up. Alfred and Roderich stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "If Alfred was always with you, then how come I never seen you with him? And how come you never told me about him?" Feliciano questioned. "Well, there was never a need to tell you." Roderich responded back. "And he stopped hanging with me a little while ago." "Oh? Did you miss my presence?" Alfred teased. "NOT IN MY LIFE." Roderich picked up a strainer once again. "Ve! It's ok!" Feliciano put his hand on Roderich's hand to make him drop it. "Well, now I know." Roderich looked at him confused. Then realized what was happening. So he dropped the strainer and patted his head. "Ok. Now get back to work." "Ve! Yes sir!" Feliciano said while turning around. "Oh! Feli!" Alfred perked up. "Ve? What is it?" Could you go with me somewhere after you get done with work?""Ve…Sure! Where?" "An Italian restaurant!"
An… Italian restaurant?
And then they lived happily ever after.
The end.
Lol jk.
