Title: I can have a relationship too!

"Are you even listening to me?" an Italian with short auburn hair asked as he looked over at the tan man across from him at the table. The man had curly, dark brown hair and emerald green eyes. The look on the Spaniard's face seemed to state that he wasn't listening to the Italian. "ANTONIO!"

"Hm?" the Spaniard blinked a few times as he looked the Italian in the eyes. He could see the amber eyes glaring at him angrily as a textbook rested in his palm. "What is it Lovi?"

"Are you listening to what I'm saying!" Lovino snapped again as he glared at Antonio. He was starting to get irritated that Antonio seemed to have his mind somewhere other than on the work that he was supposed to be doing. It wasn't a good thing to piss off a tutor.

Lovino was two years younger than Antonio, though it seemed more like Antonio was with the way he spaced out in class sometimes. Lovino was at the top of his class, though he never liked to admit it since he would be picked on for it sometimes. Most people wouldn't think that the Italian was smart, not with the attitude he displayed to other people anyways.

"Not really…" Antonio yawned. "I don't want to study Lovi…"

"Well you're going to! You have a test in three days and you seem like you don't even know the material! Isn't that why you asked me to be your tutor!" It was lucky for Lovino that they were at Antonio's apartment and not in a library. Antonio had lived alone for several years now. His parents died when he was in middle school and, luckily, his parents left him with sufficient funds so he could get by in life. Lovino knew this and it was part of the reason why he was trying to push Antonio so hard so he didn't have to use a lot of the money Antonio's parents left for him. The Italian was even nice enough to tutor the Spaniard for free.

"I don't really need a tutor…" Lovino stared at Antonio with disbelief. He didn't need a tutor? Then why the hell was he there in the first place? He could be doing something other than wasting his time with Antonio.

"What?" Antonio sighed as he quickly filled out a page of problems and showed them to Lovino who looked over them and, indeed, the Spaniard didn't need one. "Then why the hell am I here!"

Antonio gave a happy smile to Lovino as he stood up and walked over to him. Lovino moved away a bit from the Spaniard as he knelt down in front of him and took his hand. Something was definitely up. The Italian's face reddened as Antonio looked at him with a stern yet sweet expression.

"Lovi… I want to ask you something."

"W-What?"

Antonio looked away a bit shyly, a soft blush appearing on his face. "Will you go out with me?" Lovino felt his eyes widen as he heard this.

"W-WHAT!" Lovino yelled as he pulled away from Antonio and moved away until his back was against Antonio's bed. Antonio didn't move from his spot though as he started to twiddle his thumbs like a shy girl wanting to ask her parents for a pet or something.

"I want you to go out with me Lovino Vargas…" Lovino felt slightly disgusted, but that's when it clicked to him. This was better than him trying to ask Antonio. He needed to prove to his brother that he could have a relationship with someone to, even if he didn't feel the same way about him. "I-I've… liked you since I saw you in middle school…" Lovino could see the blush on Antonio's face deepen a bit as he spoke.

Lovino slightly smirked before having a stern, neutral expression on his face again. It wouldn't hurt to go out for a little while just so he could prove to his younger brother that he could have a relationship too. Then Lovino could crush the Spaniard to little bits and Antonio would leave him alone from now on. Why did he feel sad when he thought about that? He cast that question from his thoughts as he looked back at Antonio who was rambling on and on.

"F-Fine…" Lovino mumbled as he kept his gaze from Antonio whose head snapped to look at Lovino again.

"Really?" Antonio asked hopefully, not sure if the Italian had meant it or not. Sure, they had known each other for a long time, but he knew that Lovino was someone who didn't want to get close to anyone. The Italian, after all, didn't really have any friends.

"Sure… whatever…" Antonio's heart skipped a beat as he heard this. Lovino actually said yes. It was a dream come true for him. Within seconds Antonio was hugging Lovino tightly.

"You won't regret it Lovi! I promise!"

"GAH! G-Get off of me!" Lovino's face was bright red at this point as Antonio snuggled against him. He wasn't used to other people hugging him. He let his younger brother and grandfather hug him, but he hated when other people tried. Even with all his might, Lovino couldn't get Antonio off of him.

"I promise you won't regret it~" Antonio sang as he pulled away from Lovino, his arms still wrapped around the Italian's waist. "Ah~ I'm so happy Lovi~"

Lovino couldn't help but blush as he saw the happy expression on Antonio's face. He didn't think that him saying yes to Antonio would make him this happy. It was a little weird to him and it was probably something that he never would understand. However, on the inside he was smirking and yelling at his feeble little brother that he was in a relationship too. It entertained him a little. Though, he almost got caught off guard in his thoughts before pressing his hand against Antonio's face.

"W-What the fuck are you doing!" he screamed.

"Aw! I-I was just going to kiss you Lovi…" Antonio whined a bit as Lovino kept him at an arm's length away.

"Who the hell said you could kiss me you bastard!"

"B-But…" Antonio moved Lovino's hand from his face as he looked at him with a slight pout. "…we're going to be a couple… I was told that we're supposed to kiss when two people become a couple to make it official…"

"Who the fuck told you that!"

"Francis did~" Lovino glared at Antonio with a stern expression. He should have figured it would be Antonio's perverted friend. The Frenchman would spout nonsense most of the time and, unfortunately, Antonio would buy what he said.

"Well he's damn wrong!" Lovino retorted. He wasn't going to let someone kiss him for a stupid reason like that. Antonio just looked at Lovino with confusion. The Spaniard may have been smart when it came to school, but he was completely clueless when it came to other things. "You only kiss someone after you've gone out for a while! I swear that if you try to kiss me any other time then with my permission, I'll kick you so hard that you'll become eunic!"

Antonio slightly cringed at this. That didn't sound very fun to him, so he backed off. "A-Alright Lovi… I understand…" he looked away a bit as he twiddled with his fingers again with a slight pout. "C-Can I still hug you though?"

"No!"

"Why!"

"I don't like people hugging me!"

"B-But I see Feli hugging you all the time…"

"That's because he's my brother!" Antonio pouted more but nodded anyways. He didn't want to get Lovino mad at him too much since they had just become a couple. Lovino grumbled a few things under his breath as he straightened out his clothes again, standing up right after. "If you don't need help then I'm leaving… I have my own things to do…"

Antonio looked up at Lovino and smiled. "Okay Lovi~ I'll see you tomorrow~" Lovino packed his stuff up and nodded before walking out of the apartment.

Lovino sighed with annoyance, wondering why he was going to pretend to be Antonio's boyfriend in the first place. Antonio was annoying and oblivious to a lot of things. He wasn't even that hot or at least Lovino didn't think he was. Not to mention he hated men, so why did he agree to go out with one? There were a lot of questions Lovino couldn't even explain, but the only thing he could answer them with was that he was just doing this to prove a point.

His brother, Feliciano, had always gone on and on about his relationship with his boyfriend and kept asking why Lovino didn't have someone yet. Even though Lovino told Feliciano he wasn't interested real relationships, his brother – or grandfather for that matter – would always comment with saying that he couldn't love someone or be in a relationship with someone. Well, Lovino had had it when they said that. It pissed him off to no end. He was finally going to prove that he could have one, even if it was fake.
