On Board
Chapter Two: His Dear Little Brother, Feliciano
While Lovino was out escaping his home, his brother was going around town getting the mixings for pasta. When he gets home he looks around to see no one in the house and begins to panic. "Lovino~! Lovino~! Where did you go!" He runs out of the run down little house, slamming the door which makes the door knob fall off. "Uwaahhh where did you go, Lovino!" The boy cries out looking everywhere. He looks exactly like Lovino, minus his lighter hair and the loose strand sticking out the opposite side. The air around them is also very different.
Feliciano has an approachable air while Lovino has the uncanny ability to scare people off with just one glare. But the thing they have most in common is their concern for one another. Of course they show it differently. While Feliciano will outwardly proclaim his adoration of Lovino and get numerous jobs to help them live, Lovino would outwardly call Feliciano names and curse at him while secretly trying to runaway so he can work somewhere and send his brother money to get out as well and join him wherever he lands.
Feliciano knows all of these facts, so he knows his brother has ran away again and he wasn't about to let that happen! He runs down the amazingly familiar streets, looking everywhere for his fratello. After a few hours he ends up running down an unfamiliar one, part of an adjoining town at the edge of theirs. He begins to get nervous, tears forming in his eyes and his body ever so slightly trembling. "Are you ok?" After letting out a scared scream he looks over to see a man with short blonde hair slicked back and blue eyes. "AHH! DON'T KILLL ME! I'M SO SORRY! I'LL LEAVE RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! I'LL GO LOOK FOR FRATELLO ELSEWHERE! JUST DON'T KILL MEEEEE!" Feliciano cries and the man looks at him confused. "Huh? Kill you? I wouldn't kill you."
He reaches out, nervously and awkwardly patting him on the head. "Ve~ what's your name?" Feliciano asks, relaxing into the awkward touch. "I-I'm Ludwig, and you?" "I'm Feliciano Vargas! I'm looking for my brother Lovino." Ludwig looks at him concerned. "Your brother is missing?" "Si, and I don't know where he is!" Feliciano exclaims and Ludwig wonders for a second if this boy might be an idiot. "Well…that's…usually what missing means…" He lets out an awkward cough. "I'll help you look for him." Feliciano gasps and looks up at him in admiration. "You're so nice~! Hooray! I've made a new friend!" Ludwig blushes a little as Feliciano clings to his arm happily. "R-right…let's go look…"
The small brunette's worry for his brother disappears for awhile as he wanders the streets with Ludwig. "So where are you from, Ludwig?" Ludwig looks over at him and frowns. "I am from Germany." "Germany~? How cool! Do you enjoy Italy?" Feliciano asks and Ludwig nods. "It's a beautiful and laid back country. But I'm not staying for long." "VEEEE! Why! We just became friends! You can't leave yet!" "I am sorry, but I cannot stay here. I can't afford it." Ludwig says and Feliciano pouts. "I understand…Lovino and I are hurting as well. Our parents are gone for a few months and we are suffering…he's dead-set on moving away and working hard to send for me and live far away from mama and papa."
The tall blonde feels a strong ping of guilt. "Is that…why he disappeared?" "Si, he ran away…" Feliciano sighs sadly and Ludwig gets nervous, unsure of how to comfort him. "I...I am very sorry, Feliciano. I promised my brother and his friends I would bring them to the big dance tonight." Tears begin to well up in the brunette's eyes. "B-but you can come if you wish! We will look there!" "AH! REALLY? GRAZIE!" Feliciano hugs the taller man's arm. "I will meet you there in a little while. I have to change, ve!" The brunette exclaims, now excited. Ludwig nods, feeling increasingly nervous. "Yes, I will meet you there." "Bye, Ludwig~!"
The dance:
Ludwig stands there with the others amidst the group and mob of women before feeling a hand poking his back. He looks behind him to see a nicely dressed Feliciano grinning at him. Nervously smiling back, he follows the boy out of the group and they make a quick stop at the buffet table. "We'll eat and then look for Lovino~! He isn't going to get any farther after just a few minutes of eating! And I do my best on a full stomach!" Feliciano exclaims, eating the large plate of pasta. "We should still hurry, Feliciano." Ludwig points out, savoring the delicious Italian cuisines.
After eating they head out, searching the dining area, Feliciano going right up to people and asking if they've seen a person who looks exactly like him. Nothing there. They then search the dance floor, dancing with women near each other as they search. Nothing there either. Then they, well, Feliciano gets bored and leaves the woman to drag Ludwig out to the garden. "Why are we here…?" "I saw tomatoes in the garden while I was dancing, and Lovino loves tomatoes!" They look around before Feliciano's eyes settle on a tall man with messy brunette hair tied in a lose pony tail next to a beautiful brunette girl. No wait, that was not a girl. Feliciano gasps when he realizes that is his brother.
"P-please help me!" "Huh?" Feliciano listens to their conversation, noticing the troubled look on Lovino's face when confronted with leaving Feliciano. After they leave he goes over to the part of the garden Ludwig is in and looks at him determined. "Ludwig, you are a pirate, aren't you!" Ludwig looks at him shocked. "Wh-what would make you think…?" "You came in with a guy who is a pirate, so you're a pirate!" Feliciano exclaims and Ludwig nods. "Yeah…I'm joining the crew tonight…I'm the younger brother of one of the boss's right-hand men." The brunette grabs his hands. "LET ME JOIN, TO!" "Huh? What about your brother?"
"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PL-!" "Ok, ok, I get it. You can come and ask the captain. I saw him heading to the boat a few minutes ago with a girl. Which is weird because from what Gilbert has said, he hates being near girls. When Francis had him set up a date between a woman and the perverted blonde, he was disgusted at the idea of spending time with a 'boring girl'. Even if it was just to escort her to Francis…" Ludwig shrugs and Feliciano begins to worry at the thought of his brother losing his innocence. "WE HAVE TO GO FIND HIM NOW!" "Wow…you're really determined, aren't you?"
They go to Feliciano's broken down house and gather his small amount of clothes before going to the ship.
Meanwhile, on the ship:
Antonio smiles at Lovino and the boy gets annoyed. "Don't stare! It's creepy! God damned Spanish pirate bastard!" Lovino yells, his face going beet red. "Aw, you look like a tomato, Lovi~!" Antonio coos and Lovino snaps, head butting the man and causing him to fall backwards. "Ow, how violent Lovi~!" "DON'T CALL ME A FUCKING TOMATO, DON'T CALL ME LOVI! DON'T CALL ME ANY-!" "LOOOOVVVVVIIIIINNNNNNOOOOO!" Feliciano cries out, running over and tackling him away from Antonio. "Oh…two Lovi's? How cute~!" "STOP THAT!" Lovino yells, throwing a shoe at his face. "LOVINO-I-WAS-SO-WORRIED-I'VE-BEEN-SOOOOOO-WOOOORRRRRIIIIEEEEED! ILOVEYOUSOMUCHFRATELLO!"
Feliciano cries, squeezing his twin brother to the near point of strangling him. Antonio gasps and runs over to the twins, pulling them away. "Don't kill my little Lovi~!" He cries and Lovino goes ten shades of red as Feliciano gasps. "LOVINOOOO YOU LOVE A STRANGE GUY MORE THAN MEEE!" The younger twin begins to cry and Ludwig comes up, patting him on the head before Feliciano jumps into his arms. "LUUUUDWIIIIG! LOVINO LOVES SOMEONE MORE!" Lovino sits there in the tight grip of Antonio's strong arms, watching his brother cry into some strange, very suspicious looking, man's chest and listening to Antonio go on about how happy he is that he's getting three new men for his crew.
"That's….it! God damn it you fucking people!" He rips Antonio's arms off of his waist and stomps over to Feliciano and Ludwig. "Stop touching my fucking baby brother! You creepy ass child molester! You aren't having your creepy way with Feliciano! Get away from him, damnit!" He glares over at Antonio, who is snickering. "And you! What the fuck is wrong with you! You were an ass when I was a chick! Then suddenly you find out I'm a guy and you're all clingy! It's creepy! CREEPY! Not to mention highly confusing!" Lovino screams before stomping down to the room he changed in. "I'm going to bed!" He slams the door and the three men sit there on the floor staring at the entrance to the bottom floor.
"Well…that was interesting…" Antonio mutters and Feliciano frowns over to Ludwig. "I'm sorry, Lovino can be really moody." "Oh…it is…ok…" Ludwig mutters, still a little shocked. "So what do you want to-?" Feliciano is cut off by Lovino stomping back out and grabbing his arm. "Forgot this…" Lovino drags him into the room.
"Veee…Lovino you are sooo smart! Getting us a job with such nice people!" Feliciano exclaims and Lovino glares at him. "THAT. WAS. NOT. MY. CHOICE. You were supposed to stay home! I didn't want you getting tangled with a bunch of suspicious characters! Especially like those two! Hopefully stupid-ass Antonio and Ludwig are the only idiots." Lovino groans and lies down in the comfortable bed. "I can handle myself, Lovino!" Feliciano says, crawling into the bed next to his brother. "Ludwig is super nice! He's my new best friend! He's strong and kind and super cool!" Lovino silently steams before looking over at Feliciano. "I thought I was your best friend." "You're my brother! It's different!" "So I'm not cool or anything nice?" Feliciano smiles and pulls Lovino into a tight hug. "Lovino!"
Lovino goes bright red. "Y-YOU! DON'T TOUCH ME! IDIOT!" "You might not be strong, or outwardly kind or super cool…" Feliciano begins and Lovino starts shaking with murderous intent. "But you're adorable! PRECIOSO!" "I hate you…"
Meanwhile, on deck:
Antonio grins over at Ludwig. "You like him, don't you?" "Ah…I do…but you like Lovino as well, which is even harder to understand." Ludwig points out and Antonio laughs. "Yes, well…I can't help it. Since we first met I've liked him." "Why! Wasn't he a jerk when you first met to?" "Um…not really. He was very kind, but very shy." Antonio says in a dreamy voice and Ludwig groans. "You are so weird…" "I guess I am, aren't I?" Gilbert comes up with an annoyed look on his face.
"What's wrong with you, Gilbert?" Antonio asks and Gilbert glares at him. "That DAMN Frenchman! He stayed with me only long enough to eat and then he said 'oh, don't leave Gil! I don't want to be all alone!' So I didn't! But then FIVE MINUTES LATER he was off and making the moves on some women! He's off sleeping with them now! And I was stuck in the mansion alone! I had to find this place alone! I'm going to rip that god-damned beard off his fucking chin when he comes back!" Ludwig pats his older brother on the shoulder. "Calm down, brother." "What the fuck is all the commotion!" Lovino yells, coming out in a very loose white shirt and loose shorts pants. "Lovi~! Did we wake you?" Antonio coos and Lovino blushes a little, glaring at the floor. "No, you woke Feliciano."
"Lovi is so kind to his baby brother~!" Antonio coos. "Who the fuck is Lovi? Weren't you with a chick at the dance?" Gilbert asks, annoyed. "Lovino is the woman. He cross-dressed so his twin brother didn't find him." Ludwig points out and Lovino glares at him. "It's not Feliciano I was hiding from. Mind your own god-damned business." Lovino growls, his hatred for Ludwig obvious. "Who the hell is this kid? Don't talk to my brother like that, brat!" Gilbert says and Lovino glares at him.
"Don't mess with me, you damned albino! You don't want to piss off an Italian man!" Lovino yells and Gilbert pretends to look around. "Huuuh? I don't see any Italian MEN here. All I see is a cross dressing Italian boy! And Italian's wrath is nothing like German wrath!" Gilbert says and Lovino groans. "Oh! So you and your brother are potato bastards? I should've known!" "BITE YOUR TONGUE YOU BRAT!" "SHOVE IT OUT YOUR ASS POTATO BASTARD!"
Antonio finally snaps. "THAT IS ENOUGH!" Lovino and Gilbert fall silent. "BOTH OF YOU SIT DOWN! I WILL NOT HAVE THIS FOOLISH FIGHTING ON MY SHIP!" Both of them sit down on some barrels and Antonio stomps over to stand in front of them. "Gilbert, this boy is staying with us from now on. He and his brother are new parts of our crew like your brother is. Accept it and be nice to him." Gilbert groans but nods. "And Lovino! I don't care how cute it is when you're mad! You don't yell at your damned crewmates! Only I can yell at anyone here! Especially when you have no grounds to yell at them for!" Lovino glares at him but reluctantly nods. "Now both of you hug and make up!" Antonio yells and both of them go still for a second before looking at each other and then back to Antonio. "No way in hell." They say in unison, flipping Antonio off before heading their separate ways.
"Oh no…I was too hard on them…" Antonio panics and Ludwig sweatdrops. "You were NOT too hard on them, believe me. But I don't get it…you're infamous for your cruelty towards your enemy. How can you be SO different with your crew? That switch shouldn't be so easily turned off." The brunette smiles at him. "Oh, but it is, Ludwig. Love and hate make you act in different ways, right?" "Well I suppose you're right." Ludwig mutters and Antonio nods. "You must act in the way a situation requires you to." "I see, you are very insightful Antonio."
Antonio's eyes light up. "You really think so?" "He lies." Gilbert and Lovino chime in, coming from the upper and lower decks. "What are you two doing here?" Antonio asks in a whining voice. "Feliciano kicked me out because I was mean to his precious Ludwig's brother." Lovino grumbles and Gilbert laughs. "I only came down because Francis is on his way and I'm going to kick his ass."
Antonio sighs and Ludwig feels an overwhelming need to apologize for his older brother, than wonders if Feliciano feels this way a lot with Lovino as his brother. "Oh, well have fun." Lovino says before the long haired blonde man comes on deck with a large grin on his face. "Hello my beautiful friends! I-!" Francis's eyes settle on Lovino. "Hello there cutie, what's your name?" Lovino cringes and is suddenly hiding behind Antonio. "Keep him away from me, Damnit!" "Aw, Lovi's so cute when he's scared!" Antonio coos and Francis smirks. "Ohhh? Your name is Lovi?" "If you call me Lovi again I will shove something sharp and uncomfortable so far down your throat it'll come out your ass!"
"My my, what a violent little boy you have their Antonio." Francis teases and Antonio laughs a little. "He's Lovino, and his younger twin brother is here also. He's Feliciano." Lovino glares at Francis from behind Antonio. "He will not be playing with you either, pervert!" Francis smirks. "Oh, we shall see." Ludwig speaks up. "Leave Feliciano alone, Francis!" He commands in a booming voice and Francis frowns. "Fine, fine. I guess I get no sex toys out of the recent recruits…"
He turns to head to his bed only to come face to face with a pissed Gilbert. "Aren't you forgetting something, Francis?" "Oh! Did you have fun at the dance? I told you it would be-!" Francis gets cut off by a swift punch in the face. "You bastard! I'm never going anywhere with only you again! You and your fucking libido!" Gilbert yells and Francis sighs, rubbing his cheek. "I see, I'm sorry mon ami." "Don't talk to me…." The German stomps off.
"Wow…that Gilbert guy can actually be cool…" Lovino mumbles and Antonio laughs a little. "Glad you think so!" The teen blushes. "A-ah! D-don't listen in on other peoples conversation!" Antonio looks at him curiously. "Who were you talking to, then?" "N-nothing! Er-no one!" Lovino exclaims before heading back down stairs to his and Feliciano's room. Time for some wicked begging; Feliciano can be very stubborn when he's mad after all.
