Chapter Seven: Reunited Lovers
The crew has left Arthur's crew with Matthew in tow. Along with the friendship of the other crew. They have been sailing for a few months, Antonio and Lovino both still avoiding each other, and are now docking in Greece, where Arthur said they dropped Seychelles off. "I can't believe we are here just to see if one of Francis lovers is here…we're only going to stay two hours, damnit!" Gilbert groans and Lovino nods in agreement. "Why do we have to just aide this man's libido? It's so stupid…"
Feliciano and Matthew stare at the two for a second before smiling. "You get along so well~!" They tease in unison and they glare at them. "Not cute, birdie." Gilbert says annoyed and Lovino nods, looking to Feliciano. "Uncool, little brat." "Fratello is just moody because he is fighting with Antonio right now." Feliciano points out and Lovino groans, walking away. "Oh no, I hurt fratello's feelings…" Ludwig pats him on the head. "It's ok."
Further in town:
Lovino wanders around the town and suddenly feels two strong hands grab his waist and pull him closer as a large vase flies by. "What the-? A vase?" He looks to see who is touching him and locks eyes with an annoyed Antonio. "Be careful, Lo-!" "GOD DAMN YOU SADIQ!" A young man with brown hair and green eyes yells at an older man, a taller brunette with a slight stubble on his chin like Francis. "IT ISN'T ME, IT'S YOU HERACLES! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS MAD AT ME?"
Heracles grabs a nearby vase and throws it at the man, this time connecting. "Because you are an asshole." He says calmly before spotting Lovino in Antonio's arms. "This is not the place for a couple to go for a romantic moment. Go to the town's park or something. Not it's alleys." Lovino and Antonio blush. "WE AREN'T A COUPLE!" They yell in unison and a strange glint comes to Heracles' eyes. "Not a couple…?"
He walks over and grabs Lovino's hand. "Then perhaps you wouldn't mind me showing this boy around?" Antonio gawks at the fact Lovino isn't fighting in the least. "I...I guess…I don't care. It's not like he's mine to…um…show around…" Heracles nods and leads the confused Lovino off with him.
Lovino and Heracles:
"I'm Heracles, who are you?" The young man asks and Lovino blushes a little. "U-um…I'm…Lovino…so who…was that guy back there?" Heracles frowns. "He's…a Turkish man I met when I was very young." Lovino thinks for a minute. "So you met as kids…oh wait! He's Turkish? And…you're Greek, right? So do you only fight because of your countries…?" Heracles shakes his head no and brings Lovino to a bench in a beautiful park. "We did at first…but then…he…and I..." He shakes his head to rid himself of the thought and looks at Lovino.
"What about you and that man from earlier?" Lovino blushes. "A-Antonio…? Well…h-he's…my…um…h-he's my…m-my…" The Italian continues stalling, trying to prevent himself from saying 'captain'. "My…e-employer! He's my employer! My boss! Oh god…he's my boss…" Lovino mutters and Heracles looks at him confused. "Your boss? What do you do?" Heracles asks and Lovino pales. "Um...uh…I-I...does it really matter? You are only going to be showing me around town. My job has nothing to do with that." Lovino points out and Heracles smiles. "So then how much time do I have with you, exactly?" "Two hours. But only because you are hot." Heracles nods. "I see…I'm honored." He wraps an arm around Lovino's shoulders. "So where do you want to go, Lovino?"
Lovino cringes before pushing him away. "O-oi! What the fuck? Don't touch me!" "Oh…? You don't like me…?" Heracles asks and Lovino blushes. "U-um….um…are you…hitting on me…?" The Greek looks at him confused. "Are you just noticing….?" "EHHH?" Lovino yells and moves farther away on the bench.
Antonio:
Antonio looks over to the man and helps him get up. "Don't worry... he probably won't do anything to your boyfriend." The man, Sadiq, says and Antonio blushes. "H-he's not…my boyfriend…I'm his boss." Sadiq smirks at him. "Whatever you say. Just know Heracles most likely won't do anything to him. In fact, if you want…I can bring you to him." Antonio frowns and looks away angrily. "He can do whatever he wants. He's made that painfully clear already. I don't care even if that guy IS after him."
Sadiq studies his expression for a second before smirking. "Oh? That's good. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if Heracles did something to him anyways. The Greek is quite hot. And you know what they say…about Greeks and sex." Antonio glares at the man. "I don't care! Stop trying to make me!" Sadiq shrugs. "Fine, but I do care. So I'm going to fetch my stubborn little Greek." Antonio raises a brow. "You two…are dating? Then what was that stuff earlier…?"
Sadiq frowns. "That…is something I have to explain to him." He groans and runs a hand through his hair. "The kid is always angry at me for not including him in my fights." Antonio twitches a little. "F-fights…? Kid…? He's around…my age." Sadiq laughs a little. "Yeah…he's not a kid…but he still acts like one. And I am a guard of Heracles' father. It's how we met. My father was the guard first, then he died and I took over." He shrugs. "The kid just needs to accept I'm not one to back down. I guess we're both stubborn." Antonio frowns. "…You can't blame him…for not wanting you to get hurt, though."
Sadiq shakes his head no before smiling at Antonio. "I can't blame him for worrying…but I can blame him for throwing a fit about it." "I guess. It is your job after all." Antonio says as they walk down the streets.
Lovino:
Lovino twitches a little. "Y-you stay over there! For every time you touch me I shall KILL YOU." Heracles looks at him unphased. "You're a pirate, right?" The boy pales. "W-well…maybe…" "Definitely. Don't worry I won't tell anyone. And I wouldn't touch you. Probably. So…that guy is your captain?" Heracles asks and Lovino nods. "Yes, he's our captain." "Mmm…so why are you mad at him?" Lovino looks at him confused. "How did you know I was…?" "You came with me to piss him off. I'm not stupid." Heracles says and Lovino sighs. "Yeah, ok, I'm mad at him. But it's for good reason!" The Greek nods and waits for him to continue.
"I-I mean-! Why is it that everyone else can fight but me? I'm not breakable, you know! I am a man! Well…ok…so I'm still a teenager…but damnit! I can't just stand by and watch people I care about put their lives on the line! So why the hell am I getting yelled at for doing the right thing? He acts like I stabbed him in the back when all I wanted was to make sure he didn't get hurt! Er-! I mean-! M-make sure EVERYONE didn't get hurt!" Lovino exclaims, waving his arms around animatedly and Heracles smiles at him.
"I understand where he's coming from. Sadiq is always getting into dangerous fights and getting hurt…I love him and if I had a choice I would keep him with me at all times in a safe place. When you love someone you don't want them to get hurt. I mean, that's why you went out and fought with them, isn't it?" Heracles asks and Lovino glares. "He can worry but he can't be all pissy about it when I just do what a pirate is supposed to! A-and don't use the word love when referring to me and him! He's just-! He's being childish! And you know what? You are, too!" Lovino stands up angrily. "No one can keep their loved ones locked up and safe! It's unnatural! If they can do something, let them do it!"
Heracles looks at him surprised and smiles a little. "You are pretty honest, aren't you?" Lovino looks down at him annoyed. "Would you rather I not be?" The Greek shakes his head no. "Not really. It's cute when you're honest." Lovino blushes and looks away. "That's what Antonio use to say…before he went fucking crazy!" Heracles looks up at him with an intense stare. "You miss him, right?" Lovino's cheeks go an unhealthy shade of red. "HOW CAN I MISS HIM? HE'S ON THE SAME SHIP AS ME! S-so what if he isn't always joking with me anymore? O-or dragging me off to hang out while all of the couples are being…couple-y-!" "That's not a word." The Greek points out and Lovino glares at him. "It is SO a fucking word! A-anyways, I don't care that he doesn't do that anymore! He won't make me regret what I did! He's just a stupid, ideological man!"
Heracles looks up at the boy and notices tears welling up in his eyes. "O-oh…hey now…" He stands up and pulls the boy into a hug. "There's no need to cry. It'll all work out…" Lovino tenses up in his arms before giving in and crying into the man's chest. "It's lonely on that boat! My brother and best friend are now always busy with their boyfriends! Antonio is all I have left to keep me company, unless I want to get molested! I-it's not like I did it to make him mad at me! I didn't do it to offend him! I just-! I-!" Heracles frowns as thoughts of Sadiq fill his head. "I...understand…Lovino."
Meanwhile:
Francis searches all around the town frantically for Seychelles. He also made a mental note to figure out the girl's real name. It was the girl of his dreams after all. Hell, he's searching the world for her; he deserves to know her name as well! During his inner rant, Francis doesn't pay attention to his surroundings and is thrown completely off balance when someone comes up behind him and practically tackles him. "Francis~!" The female voice cries out and Francis feels his hart race.
He turns around on the ground, the girl still on top of him, and he stares at her. Long black hair pulled back into two ponytails tied with red bows, lightly tanned skin underneath her simple yet somehow beautiful white dress, and those piercing brown eyes. Francis has found her, his Seychelles. "It's you…" He murmurs and the girl nods happily. "Yes, Francis, it's me Seychelles." She says happily and he pulls her into a tight embrace. "I've missed you so much! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Francis exclaims and the girl hugs him back. "I was hoping you were, Francis." She looks him in the eyes and smiles playfully. "So how would you like to know my real name?" He smirks at her. "After searching the world for you I would love to get your real name." She leans forward and whispers into his ear. "Michelle." Francis smiles and stands them both up. "Michelle such a beautiful name for a beautiful woman." He kisses her hand and she giggles. "You don't have to suck up to me, Francis." Francis smiles at her again. "I'm not sucking up to you. Any name given to you would be the most beautiful name in the world."
Michelle looks away embarrassed and points to a house nearby. "Th-that's where my caretakers live…would you like to…?" Francis laughs a little. "I would love to. But right now I have to meet up with the others. Would you like to come? We have four new boys that would love to meet you! Well…three of them would. Antonio's boy probably couldn't care less…" Michelle looks at him shocked. "Antonio has a boyfriend?" Francis laughs a little. "They are not together, the boy is a bit stubborn and Antonio is…well…Antonio. He is dense." Michelle laughs a little. "That sounds about right! Alright then. Let's go see them all! Oh! How is Gilbert doing?" Francis smiles at her. "Gilbert is wonderful. He has his own adorable boyfriend and his younger brother now by his side. I've never seen him more happy." "I'm glad. He always seemed so lonely before…"
Antonio and Sadiq:
"So…are you still upset with that kid?" Sadiq asks and Antonio twitches. "You're damn right I am! He isn't a fighter! He's our cook! COOK! I don't care what you say! Or what he says! He can't fight! Ever! I, as his captain, forbid it!" The older man stares at him surprised. "You…care about this kid, right?" Antonio looks at him annoyed. "Of course I care about him! I love him!" He blushes and looks away. "I-in the way I love all of my crew, of course!" Sadiq rolls his eyes. "Yeah, of course. So tell me…if the roles were reversed and all the people you loved were in a fight, wouldn't you help them?"
Antonio frowns. "Not if I weren't trained in it. I could end up hurt and be a hindrance!" Sadiq groans and grabs Antonio by the shoulders roughly, forcing eye contact. "Listen here you dense Spaniard! You can keep being stubborn with him but you know what that gets you? NOTHING. You really want to fight constantly with someone you love? No, you don't! It's fucking horrible! I suffer everyday with Heracles because he's a stubborn as you! All I want is to be with him and be able to help him and do my job, but he makes it difficult! DON'T make it difficult for that poor boy! If you love him, whether as just a friend or more, than swallow you're damned pride and go make up with him!"
Antonio stares at the man wide eyed and Sadiq looks away. "Look. There he is." He looks over and sees Lovino in Heracles' arms. "NOOO! LOOOVVIIIII!" Antonio cries, getting the attention of Lovino and Heracles, and runs over to them. "Lovi! Lovi! I'm sorry! So please don't go around hugging strange men!" Lovino blushes as Antonio pulls him into a tight hug. "Let's make up, please! I don't want to be like them! I really, really, really don't~!" Antonio cries and Heracles and Sadiq twitch a little. "I'm so sorry! I won't ever do it again! If you want to help, since you've proved you can, I'll allow it! But please promise it'll only be in the most dire of times!" Lovino stares at him silently before backing away a little and head butting him. "Owwwww~! What was that for~?" Antonio cries and Lovino glares at him.
"YOU ASSHOLE! THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE ACCEPTING DEFEAT IS BECAUSE I WAS HUGGING HIM? YOU'RE SO FUCKING STUPID! I HATE YOU!" Lovino yells and Antonio looks away sadly. "That isn't it…I just don't want to fight with you anymore…you're one of my best friends. I love you, Lovi." The teen feels his face go bright red. "Y-! I-! Y-YO-! DAMNIT! WOULD PEOPLE STOP SAYING THE WORD LOVE?" Antonio looks at him happily. "Do forgive me…?" Lovino blushes and looks away. "F-fine…I forgive your stupidity…a-and I won't do it unless I absolutely need to…because I also don't want to end up like those idiots over there…" Antonio pulls him into another hug. "Lovi I'm so happy~! We're friends again~!"
As Lovino struggles in Antonio's arms, Heracles looks over at Sadiq shyly. "I-I'm sorry…Sadiq…" Sadiq looks over at him in shock. "Wh…what…?" Heracles looks away embarrassed. "I shouldn't get angry at you for doing your job…I don't want to fight…it's just…iloveyouandiworryaboutyou. Th-that's all…" The Greek pouts in embarrassment and Sadiq stares at him for a moment before pulling him into a hug. "I love you, too. I am always careful, so don't worry." Sadiq looks down at Heracles and smiles. "I won't die and leave you all alone." He leans down and kisses the other man as Antonio cheers, earning an elbow to the gut from Lovino.
"OH SHIT! WE'RE LATE!" Lovino yells and Antonio looks at him confused. "Late for what?" "Meeting up with everyone else! MERDA! We have to go, it was nice meeting you two!" They shake hands with the men and Lovino gets pulled into a hug by Heracles. "Thank you, Lovino." "H-huh? What did I-?" Antonio grabs the boy and drags him off. "WE HAVE TO GO! GOOD BYE!" Heracles smirks and looks at Sadiq. "Those two are kind of dense, aren't they?" Sadiq laughs a little and wraps an arm around the Greek's shoulders. "Yes they are, but that Spaniard really takes the cake! I feel bad for Lovino!"
Meeting:
Antonio and Lovino arrive out of breath and the others stare at them blankly. "Where have you two been…?" Gilbert asks and Antonio smiles at him. "We were having so much fun! We met this Turkish man and this Greek pervert!" Lovino rolls his eyes. "Heracles isn't a pervert, idiot." Antonio smiles at him darkly. "Ohhh? He was touching you enough to come off as a pervert!" The others stare at him blankly. "So…you met a Greek who was flirty with Lovino…?" Matthew asks and Antonio nods in annoyance. "No he wasn't! And he was madly in love with that Sadiq guy! Quit being a baby!"
Francis rolls his eyes and pokes Antonio, pointing down to Michelle in his arms. "Huh…? Oh…OH! OH HEY SEYCHELLES! HOW ARE YOU?" Antonio asks excitedly and Michelle laughs. "I'm good; I see you are, too?" The Spaniard grins and hugs Lovino. "Yeeesss~! Me and Lovi made up~!" Michelle smiles at Lovino, who pouts. "Stop being stupid…Antonio…"Antonio beams at Michelle and Lovino gets out of his grasp, standing next to Matthew. "So that's Seychelles?" He asks and Matthew laughs. "Yep, her name is Michelle, by the way!" Lovino looks over to Francis and sees the happy light in his eyes before looking over to the happy Antonio and smiles a little. "I guess…it's good we stopped here…for a perverts libido…" Matthew laughs a little and pats him on the back. "I know! You're so happy because now you and Antonio have made up!"
Lovino glares at him venomously. "Sssshhhhhhuuuuuut uuuup!" Matthew laughs nervously. "I'm still right!"
A/N: MY GOD THIS TOOK FOREVER! I don't really like the 'make up' part...i had this idea in my head and then my mom kicked me off my laptop to do the dishes (apparently saying 'I've struck GOLD, mom!' doesnt work with her...)
