I know the first chapter was a little bland and it'll probably be the same as this one but eh oh well. I know some of you were thinking that Feli is more like the Lucy type of character, but there's reason why he's not and I love the reason why though. Oh and I don't know if I said this in the last chapter but this will be a romance as well but I'm sure that it'll show up soon. It's gonna be slow here in the beginning but I'm sure it'll be better later on. I've been thinking of this story for a while now and I don't really know if I will keep this up though but I'm starting to grown on it as I keep re-reading the last chapter. So tell me what you guys think because who knows what I'm going to do.
Second chapter enjoy!
I don't own this thing in any shape or form.
'Holy shit, don't panic Lovino everything's just fine.' I told myself as I climbed out of the crate and find myself in a small clearing in the middle of a huge tomato field with an oak tree shading me from the hot sun. Since these tomato vines grew to become so big on their post I decided to climb the tree to see if I could get anywhere then just in this little clearing. No use going back unless I want to be bored again. I sit on one of it's branches and see that the field stretches for miles it stretches from east to west in tomato fields, but towards the south I see it clearing and see a post.
I decided to climb down and go towards it plucking a few tomatoes and pulled out a spool of red string from my sewing kit that I carry around for Feliciano since he's always ruining some of his clothes. I tied that string around the post to make sure I remembered how to get home. I can't stay here to long or else something might happen to Feliciano if I leave him alone with the potato bastards for long.
After thirty minutes of walking out of the tomato field I finally made it to the post to see a guy having trouble with a shit load of packages in his arms. One of his packages fall out of his arms as he starts looking around and spots me. We stare at each other as I start scowling.
" Oh hello there. Do you mind helping me get that?" He asked making me glare.
" Hell no you fucking pedophilic bastard I'm not gonna help you! Next thing I know when I go with you, you take me to your freaking house and it's a trap!" I say walking away from the blonde creep.
" Mon Dieu! 'Ow did 'e catch on to me plan!" I heard him say. Ha bastard as if I'd fall for that old trick Feli used to do that all the time. I'm glad I'm the one that fell first or else who knows what that perverted bastard would do to him. Anyways I went on walking on the freaking street when I saw a man carrying a tower of baskets of tomatoes. Soon enough the top most basket fell off the top as I ran towards them and thankfully caught the basket. The man looked at me with a thankful look on his face.
" Oh Gracias amigo! What a waste that would be if the tomatoes fell on the ground!" He said. " Come lets go to my home that way we get the basket off your hands. I'm sorry you had to go out of your way to help me. Why don't I make it up to you and when we get to my house you can eat a snack with me since this is kind of heavy to lift." He apologized.
" It's fine just stop apologizing you bastard." I grumbled as I followed him to his home. It was a little ways more up the road where the tomato field finally ends. His house was a simple two story home on the coast of the sea.
" Let's put these down in the kitchen." He said leading me to the back of his house and opening huge french doors into a wide kitchen.
" Oh wow." I gasped out in awe at the kitchen. It was my type of kitchen, it was an open kitchen that was big enough to have multiple people cooking at the same time without having to bump into each other, it wasn't like Arthur's kitchen which was closed off to the dining room it was one with an big arch that led into the a huge dinning area.
I put the basket of tomatoes down and admired the kitchen even more when Antonio snapped me out of it.
" Here you just put those with these right here." the tomato bastard instructed as he set the others down next to a pantry. I got a better look at the guy to see he had curly brown hair, great tan, and a slight muscular build.
" Why the hell do you need all these tomatoes anyways?" I huffed placing the basket with the others and crossed my arms across my chest.
" Oh well I usually eat around twenty tomatoes a day or so depending on days usually I don't really count." He explained as he extended his hand out towards me. I looked down at it as I looked back up at him. " Gracias for helping me bring those inside amigo. I'm Antonio Carriedo-Fernandez. Say I haven't really seen you here around Crown before. Who are you?" He asked.
" I'm Lovino Vargas and I'm not saying where the hell I came from cause honestly I don't know even know how I got here." I said taking a seat in the dining room. Antonio was in the kitchen cooking up lunch as he listened to my explanation. " All I remember was I was in an Empty Pantry looking in a box of tomatoes and all the sudden I dropped down here...wait where'd you say this was?" I asked munching on my own tomato.
" Oh well right now we're in Crown. There's four other countries surrounding this place; Diamond, Heart, Spade, and Clubs. Where we are in Crown is on the boarder with Spades. The four countries used to get along till the King of Spades disappeared one day. That created a chain reaction that has become tension between the four countries, and in the first time in years Crown has become a battle field." He explained.
" Wait why are they fighting?" I asked.
" Alright well the five countries used to be one country called Crown. The last true king of crown didn't have any true children only his adopted sons. He didn't want to make it seem like he was choosing favorites so he split the country into five; Clubs, Diamond, Heart, Spades and Crown. The original country of Crown in the middle and the rest surrounding the country. The four brothers decided that they should make a treaty for the position of Crown and decided that it would be he capital of the four kingdoms and is the place where the four can have a civil way of settling things between them. Though only one kingdom would be the kingdom would be the leader of Crown itself, meaning that there's an even higher place than King but Emperor." He said telling me about their history as he went back and forth from the kitchen to set up the table for our lunch. I walked in there and decided to help him by taking two glasses and a pitcher of water placing them where he already set the plates. Antonio filled both plates up with paella.
" How they decided who'd become the Emperor of Crown no one knows but the royal families themselves. What I do know, is that the Emperor is decided once all four have and heir and the final heir reaches thirteen they do this thing that decides who's Emperor. I already told you about the King of Spades and how he's disappeared for some time now. Apparently because of his disappearance some of the kingdoms demand that Spades relinquish the title as the Ruling Suite. The Queen of Spades doesn't want to do it because the queen believes that "The king is still alive the only thing is, that the idiot doesn't know how to get home. Being the idiot that the Queen's husband is he only keeps a map of the Entire Country of Crown and he was visiting another country six countries away across the seas.' Queen's words not mine." He explained while we ate our meal.
" Wow you know so much about your court." I commented he smiled and had a proud look on his face.
" Of course any Ace would know about the kingdom that they serve." He smiled.
" The hell an Ace?" I asked. Of course I knew what the hell an ace was back home but I don't know what the hell this place is so might as well ask.
" Si, of course may I formally introduce myself, The Ace of Spades, The Ace of Crown, Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, Antonio Carriedo-Fernandez. " he said with a slight bow towards me.
" That didn't answer my damn question tomato bastard." I growled towards him. He pouted towards me with furrowed brows.
" Aw, Lovi! Don't be mean I was getting there." He whined. " An Ace is second in command after the King so if the King is ever missing I am the one to fill in for him. There's also the Jack, but they only fill in for the Queen. Right now the ones running Spades is myself and the Jack. Right now the queen became ill after the King left. The Queen tried to calm the other Kings down since they demanded that Spades give Crown to someone else since the King is absent. It ended badly for the Queen thus the state that we're in now. With both King and Queen not there the others have started fighting for Crown, but before the Queen went to sleep to gain strength back. The Queen put a seal on the thing that hands over the title crown. Everyone is in stalemate right now, but Clubs seems to be the one that's gaining the upper hand." He continued and whispered the last part.
I looked outside the window to see that the sun was starting to go down and if I don't go I won't see the string anymore. I can't leave Feliciano alone with those two potato bastards. Who knows what they'll do to my brother and he's stupid enough to fall for things! Well at least by now I know Potato bastard number one won't let the Albino bastard do anything to him, but still I can't do it.
" It looks like it's getting late I need to go back. " I said to Antonio. He had a sad look on his face.
" Oh but you got here Lovi! Can't you just go back tomorrow why don't you stay here just for the night? Huh? Please Lovi~" He pleaded. I shook my head towards him.
" No I can't do it. I'm worried about my brother and I'm sure he's the same about me." I said as I rushed out the house and started jogging back to the field.
" Wait!" I heard Antonio called out. I looked behind me and saw him catching up.
" Will I ever see you again?" He asked staring down at me with glimmering eyes.
" I-I don't know." I said as I wriggled out of his grip. " Well at least here." He said handing me tomatoes. " Atleast take this you might get hungry on your way home. I hope I see you again Lovi." I heard him whisper. " We'll see." I told him as went on and started looking for that stupid string. Soon enough I was able to find it following it back to the tomato box and leaned forward falling straight through.
I hit the bottom of the box and let out a colorful string of curses. I heard muffled voices and climbed out of the box, out the pantry and into the abbandoned kitchen to find Feliciano and the potato bastards right behind him.
" I'm back stupid." I greeted with a sigh tired of the entire ordeal. Feliciano looked at me with a smile on his face.
" Ve~ Fratello what have you been doing for the last fifteen minutes. I thought that I lost you inside Arthur's house!" He said nuzzling his cheek to mine. I took out the tomatoes that Antonio gave me. " Oh goody you found tomatoes!"He squealed. " I found some other ingredients now I can make pasta for dinner!" He said happily as he pulled me along towards the main kitchen. I thought for a minute and looked towards Feliciano.
" Wait Feli how long was I gone?" I asked. He looked back at me and batted his eyes.
" Only fifteen minutes Romano." Ludwig answered.
" I didn't ask you potato bastard!" I yelled in agitation as Feliciano repeated what he said.
" Why do you ask Fratello?" He asked. I shook my head. " It's nothing never mind. It's just that looking for these tomatoes felt like longer than it actually took." I grumbled. I shouldn't mention the tomato box or Antonio for that matter next thing I know they'd think that I was nuts.
" Well come on let's go. I thought we were going to start making pasta?" I said making Feliciano smile taking both my and Ludwig's hand and dragged us towards the kitchen with Gilbert following behind, to my dismay.
The rest of the night we spent it making pasta and teaching two bastards how to make pasta. While we were making pasta I thought back to what I experienced and came to a conclusion that it was all just a dream. When I hit the bottom of the box it must have knocked me out cold and thus the reason why I dreamt that. There really was no such thing as Crown or any of those other countries, even Antonio. It was all just a dream.
That's what I thought till a week later when Gilbert decided to break Arthur's most precious treasure.
Well what do you guys think? If you guys really want me to continue you have to review that way I know someone really wants to read the rest of it! Anyways I'll see you guys later.
