I'm sorry this is so late, personally I feel it's inexcusable but my friend is like, "Stop saying that, you'll get to it once you finish you have time. Don't stress yourself!" Again I am really sorry, but I have lots of time today so I'll try to get this chapter done.

Note: Matthew will refer to Lovino as Lovino but Lovino will refer to himself with his middle name, which is Romano, or his title.

As Matthew was heading with Lovino towards the garden he noticed how off things felt. Matthew felt it in the air, it felt like how the air feels when you know or feel like you`re about to do something wrong, but then you do it anyway. And the look of deep contemplation on Lovino's face wasn't helping. 'Was Lovino planning on doing something bad? If so, what? Is it really that bad? Could Romano even do something really bad?' These thoughts plagued Matthew's mind. Matthew knew Lovino was a naturally angry & sarcastic person, but to do something like hurt an innocent person or do something against the crown, Lovino just wouldn't.

Romano watched as the guards opened a huge door that was carefully designed to have mowing gears that one could see, while the color scheme of blue, white, and black. While Romano passed the guards & through the door he looked over to Matthew who had a look of concern on his face. Romano thought it was probably worry over him saying he did just come to Matthew's place out of the blue & rushed him into talking right away.

"It looks like your forget-me-nots are doing well." Romano pointed out trying to ease Matthew, but in reality it just snapped Matthew out of his thoughts.

"Um, yeah, but really the flowers do it all on their own. They just get watered by the water system Yao made. I don't really do anything." Matthew said truthfully.

"Put you gave them the chance to grow." Romano pointed out. It was true, one time when Romano came over Matthew thought a good way to calm him was by gardening. It worked and Matthew still remembered it.

"You'll never believe it! Just like that my brother gave into that potato bastard's lies!" Ranted a very pissed off Lovino.

Matthew just snorted, "I doubt he was lying. The King of Hearts is a noble, honest man...or so I've heard."

"Feliciano needed to learn that you can't always give up & wave a flag around, instead that King comes in saying the same thing I was then said pasta would make everything better. Pasta doesn't make everything better!" Lovino argued.

"It does for your brother."

"True. But I have a feeling one day it won't."

Matthew just rolled his eyes at Lovino's childish grudges. Lovino was still very pissed and Matthew didn't know what to do about it. That was until Matthew got a crazy idea that might just work. Matthew knows that Lovino used to have a garden of some sort when he was younger, maybe it would help if he gardened again.

"How about we ease you with gardening, eh?" Matthew asked, voicing his idea.

"I only know how to do tomatoes." Lovino grunted in response.

"Then this will be a learning experience for you." Matthew laughed as they headed to the garden. It took them awhile but they found seeds. They, well Matthew planted them and such as Lovino sat back and was slightly amused at how Matthew would slightly get frustrated with the seed "not cooperating" and such.

Matthew had always figured out a way to ease Lovino in the end, no matter which crazy idea it was. Whatever was going on in Lovino's head right now, Matthew was determined to ease it.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Matthew asked. He just took the first step to complete his silent goal.

Lovino simply sighed and leaned on the nearby Maple tree, "Well it might be best if someone else explains it."

"Someone else? Like who?" Matthew said aloud. Lovino wasn't making sense- how could another person explain Lovino's problem?

"I think that's our queue!" A voice sang. Matthew knew that accent all too well. So it was someone from the kingdom?

"Vell I doubt zat Romano vould shout it, JA?" Another accent said. This one was foreign and a lot louder. The accent actually sounded kind of hot, but not like Matthew was going to blurt that out.

"That's true." This time the voice came from behind. Matthew spun around to see a boy and a man, or was he just a tall teenager? They both looked somewhat familiar. But where could he have possibly seen them before. Then Matthew noticed the unmistakable red eyes & white hair. He then spun back around and hide behind the tree Lovino was leaning on.

"Vell he is shy." The albino Joker, Gilbert, if Matthew remembered correctly, laughed.

"Well you did come out of nowhere." Lovino reasoned with them.

"You know them?" Matthew asked in a whisper.

"It's a long story." Romano said bluntly.

"What do they want?"

Romano just smirked before he said, "Why don't you ask them?"

Matthew looked both of the Jokers in the eyes but then quickly looked away. He then took a deep breath, working up the nerve to ask. Romano just rolled his eyes at Matthew's stupid shyness over strangers. Matthew then whispered quieter than usual, "Why are you here?"

Both Jokers looked at him strangely. Both had saw his mouth moved; however they never heard a word. Gilbert thought it was kind of comical, like a cute birdie that hadn't yet found its song. Gilbert chuckled, "Sorry Birdie, but awesomness doesn't mean you can hear everything."

Lovino looked angry, "Birdie!? Where the fuck did that come from!?" As you readers can see, Romano is a very overprotective friend, despite inviting mischief-causing beings over to see Matthew in hopes they could run away with them.

Matthew just snorted at Gilbert's comment, "Awesomness?"
