Title: I can have a relationship too!
x-x-x
A young Italian with light auburn hair, much like Lovino's, stared at Lovino with disbelief. He wondered if he had heard his older brother right and shook his head before looking at him again.
"Y-You what?" he asked.
"I said I am going to be dating Antonio…" Lovino growled. "Can't you fucking listen Feliciano!" Feliciano looked at his brother with even more disbelief. So he had heard right but he never thought his brother would actually date someone.
"B-But I thought you said you weren't interested in dating!" Feliciano commented, making Lovino's eye twitch with frustration. Was his brother trying to piss him off? Why was this the one time that his brother had to remember that kind of thing? Sure, he had repeatedly said that he didn't want to date because he wasn't interested, but he never thought that his brother had actually listened to him. It pissed him off to no end.
"YOU DECIDE NOW TO ACTUALLY REMEMBER THAT!" Lovino yelled as he slammed his hands on the table with frustration. The two were eating dinner at this point without their grandfather since he was still at work. Lovino didn't mind much, but Feliciano did since he had no one to hide behind this time from his brother's wrath.
"B-But… I-I…." Feliciano started crying at how scary his older brother looked at the moment. The older Italian sibling was angry and his face was starting to go red from it. Lovino growled before walking off. "V-Ve… F-Fratello?"
"I'm going to go do my homework!" Lovino yelled before storming up the stairs and slamming his door close. He wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone at the moment, not even his grandfather would be able to do much with his anger.
Feliciano sighed as he poked at his pasta with his fork. He wasn't trying to make his brother mad at him, he was just making a comment. He sighed again before giggling a bit. His brother was going out with Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, a senior. Feliciano giggled again before finishing his pasta and walking outside.
"Ve~ Fratello is actually going to date~" he softly said with a smile on his face. "I wonder how Antonio was able to do that~ He probably annoyed fratello~" Feliciano laughed at the thought of Antonio clinging to his older brother and begging him to go out with him. It was a funny thought to think about. Feliciano quickly took out his cellphone and called a number, placing the phone to his ear.
"Ah! Luddy~ Ve, Ve~ Listen to this~"

Lovino growled as he walked to school with an unpleasant look on his face. He hadn't slept very well last night thanks to his insomnia. He hated it sometimes since he had spent most of the time just doing homework that he needed to finish next week. That's right; Lovino was extremely ahead in his classes since he did the homework for next week. That's what happened when he had insomnia. The Italian would read ahead in something and then do the homework for it since they were all the same numbered problems anyways.
"V-Ve…. F-Fratello, are you okay?" Feliciano asked as he walked next to his brother to school. Lovino glared at his brother.
"What the fuck do you think Feliciano!" Lovino snarled at his brother. Feliciano whimpered a bit but nodded in reply since he knew the answer. His brother wasn't okay, that much was for sure. He really hoped his brother wouldn't snap at a teacher. Of course, all of them knew about Lovino's insomnia since the Italian started middle school and they were informed about it by his grandfather.
Lovino remembered when they first moved there that he hadn't gotten much sleep that night and snapped at the teachers a lot, winding him up in detention. That same day his grandfather came and explained to them the problem. He also explained that they didn't know the cause of the insomnia and no therapist or doctor could figure it out either. Thus leaving the teachers to know about his sleeping habits sometimes. Lovino hated it.
"Ah! F-Fratello~ H-How about we stop to get something to drink?" Feliciano suggested nervously after a long silence between the two siblings. "I-It might help~" Lovino stopped walking and looked at his brother.
"Fine… but then we're going to fucking school…" Feliciano smiled as he quickly ran into a nearby convince store and bought two drinks. He handed his brother a hot chocolate while he got himself some orange juice. Feliciano figured that his brother needed the caffeine more than anything else right now. "Grazie…"
Feliciano nodded nervously as the two started walking to school again. Lovino drank the hot chocolate, but it didn't seem to be helping all that much. His expression was still a darker stern but his glaring wasn't as intense as before, which made Feliciano calm down a bit. The younger Italian was still worried about his brother, but he was glad Lovino seemed to calm down a little bit.
Eventually, the two got to school and walked inside the building. Classes didn't start for 10 more minutes, but that gave them just enough time to get to their classes. Lovino and Feliciano went their separate ways to their classes.

The end of school came and, like always, Lovino was waiting for his younger brother to get there. However, what Lovino didn't know was that Feliciano had already left school with his boyfriend.
"LOVI~" a familiar yet annoying voice came before the Italian was hugged.
"GAH!" Lovino shoved Antonio off of him with a huff. "Bastard! I thought I told you not to do that!" Antonio nervously laughed.
"Ah… but I missed you Lovi…" Antonio looked up at Lovino with a slight pout.
"You just saw me yesterday!" Antonio made a sad puppy-dog face as he looked up at Lovino from the ground. The Italian groaned as he patted Antonio on the head. "Yeah, Yeah… I f-f-f-f-for…..f-for….. g-g-g-gi….gi-give y-y-y-y-you…." Lovino was never one to really apologize to anyone except for his family and it made it hard for him to do so. However, this seemed to make Antonio happy again since the Spaniard popped up from the ground smiling.
"Lovi~ Let's go out for dinner~"
"What!"
"Dinner date~" Antonio stated more bluntly but cheerfully. The Spaniard had been waiting so long for an opportunity to date Lovino and now he could. It really did make him happy, which was throwing Lovino off-guard.
I'm supposed to be using him! The Italian thought as he stared at Antonio who was waiting for an answer from him. I have to keep this up or I'll never be able to prove to Feliciano and Nonno that I can have a relationship…
"I have homework to do and so do you," Lovino stated bluntly. Yeah. Way to go Lovino.
"But Lovi… we're both smart, we'll be able to finish it within no time," Antonio stated with slight disappointment present in his voice. Lovino's eye twitched a bit, wanting to smack Antonio into next week. The Spaniard was just annoying the crap out of him right now and it was pissing him off. He had to keep this up though. He had to remember the reason he had agreed to all of this in the first place.
"You might be smart but it takes me hours to do my homework you bastard! Not to mention I am not in the mood to go anywhere right now!"
"Ah… Did you not sleep well Lovi?" Concern coated Antonio's voice as he looked at Lovino with worriment. If Lovino didn't get enough sleep he would feel bad.
"Yes! I didn't sleep well thank you!" Lovino snapped. Not only was his brother late but now Antonio was here trying to get him to go somewhere. Not like it matter much since he already finished homework up to next week, but that wasn't the point. He was tired and was really not in the mood to deal with anyone.
"Ah… You're stressing yourself out again Lovi…." Lovino looked at Antonio with confusion. How would the Spaniard know about all of this in the first place?
"I am not stressed! I- Gah!" before Lovino could finish, Antonio started dragging him down the street. A blush danced across his cheeks as Antonio held his hand. "W-What the hell!"
"I know something that will make Lovi be able to sleep~" Antonio sang with a slight hop in his step. Lovino stared at Antonio with even more confusion than before. He didn't even know what Antonio was thinking right now. A way to help him sleep? That seemed impossible to the Italian.
Before Lovino knew it, Antonio was forcing him to sit down in a chair that was in a furniture store. How was this supposed to help him sleep? It was a chair.
"W-What the-" Lovino was cut off when the chair suddenly started to vibrate. He sat there, wondering what had just happened. He looked up at Antonio who had a silly grin on his face as he held the remote for the chair in his hands.
"How does it feel Lovi~?" the Spaniard asked, hoping that this would make Lovino feel better and be able to sleep. Lovino shot Antonio a very weak glare.
"Is this… supposed to make me tired?" Lovino yawned. It got heavier the longer he stayed there and his eyes drooped a bit as well.
"Si~" Antonio softly laughed as he saw Lovino slowly start to fall asleep. He let the chair continue to sooth the Italian for a few more minutes before slowing it to a stop. He then proceeded to helping the groggily Italian out of the chair and to his feet. "Lovi…?" Antonio got no response from the Italian as Lovino fell asleep, leaning on the Spaniard.
So cute~ Antonio thought as he got Lovino onto his back, picked up their bags, and walked out of the store.

"Ve…." Feliciano softly sighed as he stared at the clock on the wall.
"Something wrong Feliciano?" a man with slicked back blond hair asked. He was sitting across from the Italian in a small café drinking a cup of coffee. Feliciano looked over at him and sighed again.
"I-I… think I should've told Fratello where I was going…."
"I see…."
"L-Ludwig… do you think he'll be mad at me?" The German male looked at Feliciano with slight confusion. He didn't know why Feliciano was asking him this question since Lovino hated him in the first place. He took a sip from his cup before looking back at the Italian.
"I don't think so…" he finally replied as he set his cup down. "You're his brother and he seems to not want to make you cry if he can help it. So I don't think that he'll be mad at you." Feliciano blushed as he fidgeted with his fingers a bit.
"Ve~ Luddy always knows what to say~" This compliment made Ludwig blush as well.
"I-It's just what I've observed is all…" Feliciano softly laughed as he picked his cup of juice up and started drinking from it, feeling a new happiness filling him up. The two sat there, finishing their drinks before getting up and walking down the street. Like always, Feliciano was attached to Ludwig's arm and Ludwig had a light blush on his face.
One would think that the German would be used to this after almost a year of going out with the Italian, but he wasn't. It was just who he was and it wasn't a bad thing, though he wished some other people could see Ludwig the way Feliciano did and not fear him. Of course, that's also what made this relationship a bit special. Feliciano got to see a new side of Ludwig that most people didn't get to see and it made him happy.
"Luddy~" Feliciano sang as he looked up at the German. "Can I stay at your house this weekend~?"
"I-I don't… see a problem with it…" Ludwig replied, his blush deepening a bit more.
"VE~ Yay~" Feliciano detached himself from Ludwig as they came to his house. He placed a chaste kiss on the German's lips before waving to him and running inside, leaving a blushing Ludwig outside to walk home.
Feliciano got inside and sighed with great happiness as he walked into the kitchen to see Antonio and his grandfather talking to each other. His grandfather had slightly messy dark chocolate hair and amber eyes like him and Lovino. Feliciano was a bit confused why they would be talking, but decided to just walk over normally… or as normally as he could with his bubbling happiness.
"Ve~ Ciao~"
"Hola Feli~" Antonio greeted with a smile on his face.
"Welcome home Feliciano," his grandfather greeted his grandson. Feliciano sat down in a chair and looked at the two.
"What are you two talking about~?"
"Your brother."
"Ve? Fratello?" Feliciano was confused on why the two would be talking about his brother.
"Si~" Antonio replied with a happy smile. "Lovi fell asleep~"
"Y-You got fratello to fall asleep!" Feliciano was extremely surprised by this. Neither his grandfather nor him could ever get Lovino to fall asleep when his insomnia had kicked in. Antonio nodded in reply to Feliciano's question. "VE~! That's amazing Antonio~!"
"Gracias~ It wasn't that hard~ I was just telling Julius about, maybe, getting one of those relaxation chairs for Lovi~" Antonio seemed very accomplished that he could get Lovino to fall asleep so easily. Of course, most of his happiness derived from the fact that he got to see Lovino's sleeping face. Feliciano looked at Antonio with confusion. He didn't really understand why they would need to get his brother a relaxation chair to help him sleep.
"Antonio thinks that, when your brother can't sleep, it's because he's stressed," Julius commented.
"Oh… I get it~" Feliciano smiled happily. "That would make sense~ Fratello seems stressed a lot lately so I guess it would makes sense~" Antonio and Julius nodded in agreement. All of them knew that Lovino had been stressing a lot lately. Though they didn't know why he was in the first place.
"Well, I should be getting home," Antonio commented after several minutes of silence. He stood up and grabbed his bag off the chair. "Adios~" he waved to Feliciano and Julius before excusing himself from the house. Feliciano stood up as well and went up to his room. He laid down on the bed and sighed into the pillow, glad to know his brother was actually sleeping now.
Antonio's good for Fratello… he thought before yawning and drifting off to sleep. Tomorrow his brother would be in a slightly better mood, or at least that's what he hoped. His brother finally had someone to get close to other than himself and for that he was happy. The younger Italian could sleep happily knowing this.
