Beware, this has a serious plot twist, so keep an open mind plz =w=
Feliciano woke up to the brightness of the sun in his apartment.
He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. As he was walking he felt something tugging at his heart, a feeling that made him just want to stay in bed all day, but he had to get to work.
As the day went on the felling wouldn't go away, and it felt like it was turning to anxiety.
"Hey, you ok? You don't look so good." Bella said to him. She handed him a mirror, and below his eyes were dark. "Hmm. I don't know. I have… a very weird feeling… that something bad is going to happen today." He said. "I think it's because of something's that happened yesterday." He concluded. He thought about Alfred. "But I don't think I should worry." Feliciano smiled. Bella looked at him concerned. "Well, ok then. But don't overwork yourself." She said. "Thanks Bella."
It was an hour before Feliciano's work shift ended. Bella walked up to him, holding her hands together. "Feliciano...Could you do something for me? I promise I'll repay you for it." "Sure, what is it?" Feliciano asked. "Well, you see, I have to go somewhere today, but I have to close the shop and make sure it's locked. I was going to have Alejandro do it because he IS the boss, but he already left! Could you do that for me?" She said with a pleading voice. "Ve, of course!" He responded.
Feliciano had never really locked up before, but it seemed easy. It was at the end and everyone had already gone home, so it was really empty.
Ve… so scary!
Feliciano walked out to see Alfred again. "Hey Feli! You're a little late today." He pointed out. "Well, I had to lock up for the day so… I had to wait for everyone to leave." Alfred nodded in understanding.
They turned around, only to find the same man they saw yesterday.
"Good evening to you both." He said. Alfred's face resembled that in surprise and hate. "What are you doing here?" Alfred asked the man. "Well, I did give you a warning, didn't I?" He said with a sinister smile. "That was just yesterday! And even then, I'm still not giving it to you." Alfred yelled back.
The man tipped his hat so his eyes couldn't be seen. "Exactly."
He whistled, and about two big muscled men came out. "You see, I am a man whose patience isn't very big. So I'll just take what I want and go." The man looked at Feliciano, and held out his hand. "Come to me, Feliciano." Feliciano's heart beat faster. "What do you want with me?" Feliciano yelled at them. "Oh, nothing. I just want to take care of you. You know that these people can't take care of you like I can." The man took off his hat and threw it behind him. "Come with me Feli! If you're with me, you won't have to worry about the little things you can't acquire, because I'll give it all to you." Feliciano ducked behind Alfred a little, as if to say no. The man looked a little hurt. 'Do you… not remember me?" He asked. "Ve… I don't think so…" Feliciano quietly said. "H-how could you forget me? We… we used to play all the time when we were young." The man looked sad. "It doesn't matter if he remembered you; he still wouldn't want to go with you, Gilbert!" Feliciano's eyes widened.
That name it… sounds familiar.
"Brudder, I don't think that forcing him to come with you would work." A voice said, coming from behind the men. The men parted revealing a tall slicked back hair blonde. "Ludwig." The white haired man, apparently named Gilbert said.
Feliciano looked to Alfred. "Ve, Alfred. You know this man?" Feliciano asked questionably. Alfred choked up. "Y-Yeah, give or take." Feliciano felt left out. That feeling of anxiety came back in, except more harder. "You… you're keeping secrets from me?" Feliciano said as he backed up from Alfred. The two brothers, Gilbert and Ludwig, glanced at the scene. "You knew… You knew that I hated being left out… and you hide this from me!" Feliciano yelled at Alfred. "You don't understand!" Alfred yelled in defense. "It was…" Alfred's voice faded. "It was for what?" Feliciano asked. Alfred just looked to the side, silently. "You… You're all the same." Feliciano fell to the ground, grabbing his chest.
It hurts… my heart… it…
"Feliciano!" Alfred yelled, grabbing Feliciano from behind so he leaned on him as he fell. "What's wrong?"
As the scene went on, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled. "Perfect timing too." Gilbert said. "Don't tell me you had something to do with this!" Alfred yelled at them. "Not really, but it's the perfect chance to get what we want." They started coming closer. Alfred held on to Feliciano, not willing to let go. "That's just like you. Take whatever you can get." A voice out of nowhere came in. "Ve…? That sounds like… Roderich?" Feliciano managed out. A dark figure suddenly appeared before them. "Sorry I'm late. Had to take care of some stuff." "N-no, just in time actually." Alfred managed out. "Hey, don't keep me out on this one! I want to have fun too!" Another voice came in. It sounded… Spanish? Then another person came into view. "V-Ve? Alej-" The man put his fingers to Feliciano's lips. "Please don't call me by that name. You can call me Antonio, like you used to. Feliciano was surprised.
My boss Alejandro is… Antonio?
"Crap."Gilbert said. "Oh well, shouldn't be too hard."
"Alfred. You know what to do." Roderich said to him, with a serious face. Alfred nodded, and then picked up Feliciano bridal style. "Ve! No! I don't!""I'm sorry Feli. But they can handle it. I know it." Alfred went up the stairs that ran next to the restaurant. "Damn." Gilbert said, pulling out a gun, trying to shoot Alfred. He took a couple shots before Ludwig stopped him. "Stop! You don't want to hit Feliciano!" Gilbert looked back. Alfred had already gone through a door next to the restaurant and was already gone with Feliciano. "Well, no that that is out of the way, I think we have some business to take care of." Roderich said, cracking his knuckles. "Hey! You bastards!" Another voice called from behind the group of men. "My lovi!" Antonio shouted out. Lovino jumped on the man's heads and reached to where Roderich and Antonio were at. "I hope fratello is in safe place, yes?" He asked turning around to face the group. "Yes, Alfred is taking care of him." "Good." "Ha Ha! You think you can win? Its three verses four! And my group is the strongest around!" Gilbert boasted. "I think it's time to shut these potato bastards up." Lovino said. "Agreed." Roderich and Antonio said in unison.
(Authors note: Just wanted to let you know that anything with italics, is what Alfred's thinking ;3)
Alfred carried Feliciano through the door, into what looked like a mini apartment above the restaurant. He walked through what seemed like never ending doors to Feliciano. He was still hurt from the anxiety attack he had a while ago. When Alfred finally stopped walking, they ended up in a bedroom. Alfred sat Feliciano on the bed and hugged him. "F-Feliciano… I-I'm so sorry…" Feliciano gripped Alfred's shirt. "I-I don't want an apology…" He said very quietly. "What?" Alfred asked. Feliciano gripped his teeth together. "I said I don't want an apology! I just want some answers!" Alfred's eyes widened at the sudden outburst. Feliciano was crying heavily at this point, shouting out so many things that didn't sometimes even make sense. Alfred could tell he was speaking in Italian.
What should I do? He's so desperate… but the contract…!
Alfred suddenly knew what he should do. His heart reached out toward the little Italian, and in response to this, he kissed Feliciano. Feliciano immediately went quiet. Using the kiss, Alfred laid Feliciano into the bed. "I'm sorry, Feli. I really am. And I don't want to keep secrets from you anymore." He said while kissing Feliciano's forehead. "I love you. I really do. So that's why, I'm going to tell you everything I know." He said while smiling. Feliciano was surprised. "So, that means-"Feliciano said while getting up, but was cut off, with Alfred's finger to his lips. "Yes, but in the morning. I need to go help the others." He said while getting up. Feliciano reached out and grabbed Alfred's hand. "Could you… at least stay here until I fall asleep? I don't think I can sleep if someone's not here with me. And don't worry! I fall asleep fast." Feliciano pleaded. Alfred sighed with a smile. "Ok then." He sat down next to Feliciano holding hands. "Good night, Feliciano." He said giving him a kiss. "Buonanotte, Alfred."
(Authors note: Just wanted to let you know that anything with italics, is what Feliciano's thinking again ;3)
That night was the first night Feliciano dreamt about his childhood. He dreamt about so many kids playing with him at a playground. One was his own brother. And there was a blonde one with a cowlick sticking from the top of his head, which must have been Alfred. Another one looked similar to Alfred, but had a curl from the top of his head. And then there were two other boys. They were German, Feliciano could tell.
Gilbert… and… Ludwig?
They both looked just like the men he had met that day. All of them were at a play ground, all playing so happily together. Feliciano glanced over toward where his father was. He was standing next to a man with long blonde hair, and another with huge eyebrows. They were also standing next to Roderich and Antonio. They must have been the parents of the kids. It was such a peaceful dream, filled with no lonely feeling, or deep hurting. A tear came to Feliciano's face in the dream. Everyone crowded him, asking what's wrong. "I'm just… happy!" Feliciano said, smiling so big.
Feliciano awoke to a tear that came to his eye. He sat up from the bed, and rubbed his eye to swipe away the tear. "Such a peaceful dream." Feliciano said to himself. "Haven't had that in a long time." Feliciano took looked around where he was. He was in the same room Alfred sat him down at.
…
"Alfred!" Feliciano shouted. He ran through door only to run into Roderich. "Ve!" Feliciano whimpered a bit, as he stumbled back. "Ah, Feliciano! You're safe." Roderich said. "That's what I should be saying!" Feliciano said, hugging him. "I was so scared, I'm glad you're safe." Roderich smiled. "Me too." He said, returning the hug. "How about we get some breakfast?" He suggested. Feliciano nodded in agreement.
One more chapter!
I'm thinking of making an omake!
