Chapter Three: Getting To Know You
Lovino wakes up to Feliciano's limbs wrapped around him, trapping him. "Ugh…and he wondered why I refused to sleep with him at home…" He maneuvers so that he breaks free of the sleeping Italian without waking him up. Grabbing a large coat, presumably set in there by Antonio, he heads out of the room and on deck to see Antonio alone at the wheel.
"How long have you been up?" Lovino asks, only a small amount of anger in his voice due to the fact he is just waking up. "Hm~? Oh, I just woke up a little while ago. What about you?" Antonio asks and sees the boy rubbing his eyes with the coat sleeve tiredly. "Mn…I just got up…" "You could have laid in bed for a little while longer, you know." Lovino pouts at him and Antonio resists the urge to pull him into a hug. He has to steer, after all. "…I couldn't stay in bed; I was being crushed by an alarmingly strong little brother…"
Antonio smiles over at him. "We have one more room, you know. One of you could sleep there." Lovino shakes his head no. "No offense…but I want to stay with my brother…keep him away from the scarier potato bastard…" Antonio laughs a little. "Ludwig is a good guy, Lovi." "I don't care. I see how he looks at Feliciano. And vice versa. I'm not sharing him with anyone! They can all just fuck off!" Lovino scowls at the floor and Antonio stares at him, grinning. "What about you? Will Feli share you?" The teen eyes the older man wearily. "…No. Stop looking at me."
Antonio laughs and looks ahead. "I don't know…I'm sure he would share~! Especially if he knows the person is serious…" Lovino twitches and turns away. "Fuck! You piss me off! I'm going somewhere else away from you!" "Eh~? Lovi~! I want to talk to you~!" Antonio whines and Lovino stops, walking back over. "Fine…but only because I have no one else to talk to…" Lovino says, crossing his arms and blushing.
"So…when do you plan on saying why you wanted so desperately to get on my ship?" Antonio asks and Lovino frowns, leaning up against the railing. "I can't just…it's…" Lovino groans before looking at Antonio. "I wanted to get me and Feliciano out of there…because we need to get away from our parents…" "Why is that? Just don't like your parents bossing you around?" Antonio asks and Lovino glares at him. "What am I? Some spoiled brat! I don't like to be bossed around, but I'm not gonna leave because of it! I know people only say those things for your own good…" "Then why would you leave?"
Lovino looks at Antonio sadly. "They are…well…they don't really like Feliciano and I...er…mostly me…actually…it's difficult to like me, I suppose." Antonio frowns and pats him on the head. "I don't think it's difficult…" Lovino blushes and glares up at him. "TH-THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A PERVERT!" "How cruel Lovi~! I'm not a pervert! I'm a gentleman!" Antonio exclaims with mock hurt and Lovino rolls his eyes. "The words pirate and gentleman don't belong in the same sentence…" "And yet with me it works so well~! Si?" Lovino gives him a pointed look. "No."
"Oh my~! A secret lovers meeting in the early morning hours! Beautiful~!" Antonio and Lovino look down to see Francis smirking up at them. "….What do you want?" Lovino asks in annoyance and Francis laughs. "I can't get up and come out of my room?" "Not if you're going to be a retard." The Italian counters and Francis laughs. "Ah…I'm so horny~! How lucky for you that you have a boy toy right on board~!" Francis sighs and the other two twitch. "FUCK. OFF." They warn in unison and Francis sighs. "Fine…I'll go downstairs…I wonder how heavy a sleeper little Feliciano-!" he gets cut off by a charging Lovino head-butting him in the gut and almost pushing him off the ship. "HOLY-!" "BACK OFF!"
Antonio laughs a little. "Lovi you're so cute when you're over protective~! But please don't kill Francis. Ok~?" Lovino pulls Francis off the ledge and throws him onto the ground, stomping a foot on his chest. "DON'T. TOUCH. MY. BROTHER. If you want to be capable of sex ever again." Francis laughs nervously as Lovino pulls his foot away.
As they all settle down Feliciano comes up, grinning. "Fratello~! Good morning!" He looks at the other two and waves. "Good morning you two!" "Good morning Feliciano~!" They coo in unison. "You must be really happy, fratello~! Now you don't have to get married~!" Feliciano says and Lovino cringes. "Oh shit!" Antonio glares down at the boy from the top deck. "Lovi…you said you wanted to leave because your parents hate you…"
Feliciano giggles as Lovino hides behind him from the dark glare he is receiving from the Spaniard. "Oh our parents do hate fratello, captain~! That's why they set him up with the creepy man-lady down the road! If I remember right they said 'Listen here brat! You marrying that rich old hag is the only way you will be useful to us! So do it! Now!' and so he was gonna! But then when they decided I should be put in an arranged marriage, he decided to run~!" He looks over to his brother. "Why didn't you tell him that?"
Lovino looks away nervously. "Th…that didn't come up in the conversation…" Antonio's glare darkens at Lovino. "You're engaged…? You…" Lovino jumps back behind Feliciano. "S-STOP GLARING AT ME, DAMNIT! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I WAS ENGAGED TO THAT CREATURE!" "Fratello! Don't speak ill of your fiancé!" Feliciano scolds and Lovino glares. "YOU ARE NOT HELPING! IDIOT!"
Antonio groans and looks at Feliciano. "So tell me everything." Feliciano lights up. "You mean we're all gonna share our stories! How cool!" Lovino twitches. "My GOD you are insufferable…" Feliciano runs up to Antonio on the second deck and Lovino pales. "Oh god…he's serious…" Francis comes up to Lovino and wraps an arm around his shoulders. "Ah~! Don't worry Lovino! I will take care of yo-!" "GET AWAY FROM HIM FRANCIS!" Antonio yells down and Francis pouts.
Feliciano waves at his brother quickly before looking at Antonio. "You see…we were accidents, you could say. At least that's what mom and dad say. But they still took care of us and fed us and clothed us! Then one day…" Lovino cringes as he notices the rest of the crew come up. Fucking Francis gathered them. This wasn't a freaking story to share with a group, damnit!
Flashback of flashbackery:
A ten year old Lovino heads home from school to see a group of kids pointing and laughing at a hideous man. No wait, they had boobs. Woman? Creepy. He shrugs and goes up to them, poking the tallest kid's shoulder. "What do you want, Vargas!" "You're going to hurt her." Lovino points out and the taller boy laughs. "Who cares!" "Obviously I do. Now go the fuck away." The small Italian says and the taller boy pushes him. "What do I care what you say?"
Lovino snaps and kicks the boy in the gut, hard. This makes the group of kids run away and leaves Lovino being stared at by the woman. "Thank you…I'm Olga." She says and Lovino shrugs. "That's nice for you, isn't it? You leave to." Olga laughs a little, figuring he's shy and heads off.
End of flashbackery:
Lovino and Antonio twitch. "WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAT!" They yell in unison and Antonio pouts. "Lovi how could you flirt with her!" Lovino twitches before glaring at him. "I wasn't flirting with her, and even if I was it isn't anything for YOU to get upset over! Idiot!" "Then why did you save her?" Ludwig asks and Gilbert nods. "Yeah, I doubt it was out of the kindness of your heart…"
Lovino rolls his eyes and blushes, staring at the ground. "She was…in front of my tomato plant…and I said 'her' because, well, the plant was…girly…in my ten year old mind. I didn't care that she was getting bullied! I was afraid they would back her into my tomato plant! Stupid fucking Olga!"
Feliciano laughs a little. "Fratello is so silly! You should have told them that so you wouldn't have to get married to her!" Antonio nods furiously. "YES! YES! WHY DIDN'T YOU EXPLAIN!" Lovino glares at him again. "I explained it to mom and she said to shut up and get married. I wouldn't have agreed to it if I would've known they would marry off Feliciano as well!"
Ludwig twitches. "What!" Feliciano smiles down at Ludwig. "Si~! I was arranged to marry Olga's sister Helga! All because I cheered her up one day when she was sad!" Lovino groans. "You're too kind to people, idiot." Ludwig nods, receiving a glare from Lovino. "Don't agree with me you asshole." "What! Why not!" "Because his kindness dragged you in as well! I'm not happy about that! And I don't like you!" Lovino yells and Ludwig groans. "Whatever…"
Gilbert snickers a little. "Kids are so stupid these days." Lovino flips him off. "Sit and spin, mother fucker." "LOVI! LANGUAGE!" Antonio yells and Lovino gawks at him. "You're a fucking pirate! Since when do pirates care about 'language'!" Lovino yells and Antonio glares. "Since my father, the old captain, taught us that you don't need to use foul language all the time to get a point across or be intimidating."
Feliciano smiles at Antonio. "Your dad was the captain~? How cool~! Did he retire? …Do you retire from being a pirate?"Antonio smiles down at him. "No, Feli. He died." Feliciano and Lovino's faces both drop to a frown in unison. "Oh…I'm sorry, captain." "Yeah…that must suck…" Lovino mumbles and Antonio smiles at him. "It's what happens when you have a pirate for a father. It happened to Gilbert and Francis's fathers as well."
Francis nods. "Yes, they all died in the same battle, actually. But they died valiantly and saved our lives." Gilbert nods before wrapping an arm around Lovino's shoulders. "Well, enough depressing shit! Time to find out what you and your brother can do for our ship!" Lovino glares at him. "Get off." "No." "Fucking albino bastard." Gilbert smirks at him. "Stupid Italian brat."
Antonio smiles at the two of them. "Well…what can you two do? Cook? Clean? Fight?" Feliciano grins. "Fratello and I can clean and cook! And fratello can handle guns really well! When we were little he even-!" Lovino runs up and covers Feliciano's mouth. "I didn't do anything with a gun! But yes, we can do those things." Antonio grins at Lovino. "Then you can both go and make breakfast!" Feliciano cheers and drags an annoyed Lovino with him.
In the kitchen:
Lovino stares at the amazingly clean kitchen in shock. "Wow…a pirate ship shouldn't be so clean…" Feliciano smiles. "Would you rather be in a dirty place?" "Dear GOD no. But still…" Lovino mutters and Feliciano laughs. "Ve~! You complain too much, fratello~!" "You're too easy going, Feli." Feliciano stares at him for a second before tackling him. "Fratello is so cute~! Calling me Feli like captain did!"
Lovino blushes and tries to push off Feliciano. "GET THE HELL OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT!" Feliciano giggles and tickles him, making the boy freakishly burst into laughter. "OH MY GOD THAT IS ADORABLE!" The brothers look over to see Gilbert smirking with Francis and Antonio grins. "So cute, Lovi~! Feli~!" Lovino cringes and tries to push Feliciano off of him. "What's going on?" Ludwig asks, coming up and staring at them in shock. "Wh-what are you two doing!"
Lovino flips him off and Feliciano smiles at him from his brother's lap. "We were having a tickle fight!" "Oh god, Feliciano…why are you so damned lame?" The older brother groans and goes to push off Feliciano, only to have Ludwig pick the younger one up. "H-HEY! DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Lovino yells and Ludwig looks at him confused. "I was getting him off of you…" "DON'T TOUCH HIM!"
Ludwig groans and pats Feliciano on the head before heading out. "That…damn…potato bastard…." Lovino groans and Feliciano practically beams at him. "VE~! Fratello~! Did you see that~! Ludwig is so kind~!" Antonio comes over and helps Lovino up. "Why don't you two cook now? We're all starving, ok Lovi~?" "Yeah yeah, just go away."
Breakfast:
The crew gathers at a table and eat, marveling at the delicious food. "So anyways, Arthur is catching up with us. We better be on guard." Antonio says and Gilbert perks up. "Ohhh? A fight? Perfect." He smirks and Francis rolls his eyes. "I want some loving, not fighting." Lovino glares at him. "Then leave the pirate life and work at a brothel." Francis smirks at him. "But at a brothel no one nearly as cute as you comes around." "You would know, wouldn't you? Perverted Frenchman." Lovino mumbles and Francis laughs. "You'll give in eventually." "Like hell he will!" Antonio practically growls.
