Damn…it's been forever. I'm sorry. High school and what not has me left with little time. Anyway~ I'm not dead.
Ludwig sighed heavily as he began to make his way to Feliciano's home. He was worried about Gilbert; he didn't like seeing him so happy. It wasn't that he didn't want him to be happy, but the context was displeasing at the least. Or was it? Ludwig wasn't all that positive anymore. He just felt he couldn't trust that Gilbert actually had feelings for Lovino. Not as it stood, at the least. As Ludwig approached the door he saw a note of some sort tucked in the jam.
I believe
In an end
To everything
Even you
"What an eerie note." Ludwig said tucking it in his pocket and knocking on the door. Feliciano opened and smiled at the familiar face.
"Ludwig! Long time no see~ Come inside."
Ludwig walked into the house and thought about the note. Should he give to Feliciano? It was in his door, but it made no sense. Why was it there in the first place?
"Where's Lovino?"
"On a date with Gilbert." Feliciano's face showed no emotion except for the slightest touch of anger. It wasn't the usual for Feliciano.
"Is something wrong Feliciano?"
Feliciano sighed and fell back on the sofa. "Lovino's been acting so weird lately! He's been yelling at me a lot more, always hanging with Gilbert. I feel like I hardly even see him anymore." Ludwig nodded. It had been the same with Gilbert, except Gilbert had just been acting like more of an asshole than usual. Ludwig was beginning to think he should check up on Gilbert. He grabbed his cellphone out of his pocket and quickly dialed Gilbert.
"Hello?"
"Gilbert, it's Ludwig, you're on a date with Lovino, correct?"
"Yeah…why?"
"Feliciano and I have decided we wanted to join you…where are you?" Ludwig smirked to himself.
"Join us? Uh yeah! Sure, you do that…um Millennia's."
"Great! See you in about fifteen." Ludwig closed his phone and saw a smiling Feliciano.
"This is a great idea Ludwig! This should be fun~" Even Feliciano had caught on, Ludwig was sure indeed, this would be a fun night.
Gilbert banged his head a few times on the table getting Lovino's attention.
"What up?" Lovino asked as Gilbert slowly raised his head.
"Feliciano and Ludwig have decided to join us."
Lovino stayed still for a while, he screamed internally, but tried his best not to do it aloud. "We better not screw it up then! God, I knew this would happen!"
"Shuuuut up. We just have to be a bit more convincing, it doesn't we have to act insanely "in love" or whatever. Just try and keep on an act; and try and act like you don't hate me for a while."
'Easier said than done.' Lovino thought. He hated this completely, now they especially had to put on an act. It wasn't that Lovino couldn't do it…he just didn't want to.
"Here they come…" Gilbert said sighing. "Hey!" Gilbert said ushering them to the table. "Have a seat."
Feliciano took a seat next Lovino and smiled. "It's nice to see you guys~!" Lovino knew it; Feliciano was definitely doing this on purpose. It was not on whim that was positive.
"You too." Lovino said trying to mask his displeasure. The waitress then came to the table and toke the new arrivals orders. After their orders were taken, Ludwig began to make casual conversation. "Gilbert I never thought you'd have what it takes to be in relationship, no offense."
'He's baiting me' Gilbert thought taken a bit off guard. "Ludwig, you should by now, anything is possible for me. By the way, offense taken." Gilbert said laughing regardless of what he said. Ludwig made a 'humph' sound and smiled. "I'm glad you guys are happy with each other."
Lovino wanted to scream, so badly. He hated every second of this conversation. He wanted to strangle Ludwig more than normal, and wanted to rip his own hair out. Feliciano turned to Lovino. "Lovino what about you? Are you happy?" Feliciano looked as if he was expecting Lovino to scream "NO". NO! He wouldn't do that; seeing Ludwig and Feliciano team up, was twice as horrible as seeing them make-out; both being disgusting.
"Of course~" Lovino felt his throat stiffen as he tried to get out the next words. "I love him." Lovino said smiling, internally cursing himself to hell. Gilbert's eyes widened at this, as did the other pairs at the table.
"R-really…?" It wasn't Feliciano or Ludwig, but Gilbert. Lovino hoped to God, Gilbert hadn't taken him seriously. Even so his cheeks reddened as the table stared at him.
"Y-yeah, dammit." For the rest of the night, it was quiet, no more questions, conversations, just an awkward silence. As Ludwig and Feliciano left, Lovino made sure to talk to Gilbert alone.
"You know that was just part of the act right? The "I love you" thing." Lovino said as straight forward as he could.
"Of course! Like you'd love me!" Gilbert said grinning and laughing as he left the restaurant. 'Phew' Lovino thought. He was glad Gilbert understood, yet something felt off. Maybe he'd gone too far? He thought so. He'd laid it down too hard for sure. He had no idea how things would work out now that he'd said that. Maybe he was just thinking too hard.
Gilbert stood in front of the mirror and loosened his tie. 'Lovino? Ha-ha! Yeah right! Why in the hell would he think I thought he was serious? Puh~lease, I knew it was all part of the act! I'm not stupid! Like I'd even care if Lovino liked me anyway? I don't need anyone!' Gilbert thought all of these things, but for some reason he ached and a feeling of loneliness showered him. Why did he even care what Lovino thought? He didn't know…all he knew is that his eyes felt heavy and he felt the urge to cry. Why? He didn't know. He didn't want to know. So he fell back on his bed and murmured himself to sleep. The night was filled with nightmares.
