Chapter 3
~Lovino's POV~
I stood a few feet behind Antonio, silently watching the one person who had once been my whole world until Feliciano came into my life. 'I can't believe this, why Dio, why now?' I thought and looked to the sky as I remembered Antonio's outburst earlier that day.
I heard crashing coming from what I guessed was Antonio's cabin, followed by shouting. Then the crashing ceased and I could make out crying. A moment later I heard laughter that made my heart ache, I could feel the pain and loneliness, the anger and sadness that he had suffered through over the years. Then I could hear more crying and looked to Hernandez, eyes wide with shock. "I'm just as stunned as you are, he's lost it before, but never like this," Hernandez said.
"Will he be okay?" I asked.
"That question coming from the guy who caused it in the first place, it's almost laughable," Hernandez replied as he bent down and untied me.
"I'm not a complete asshole, thank you, unlike some people I know," I growled as I glared at him.
"Whoa cálmate, I was only stating a fact," he replied.
"At any rate, why did he lose it in the first place?" I asked as I rubbed my wrists in an attempt to ease the pain and Hernandez laughed, earning another glare from me.
"Let me tell you something mi amigo, Capitán Carriedo has been looking for you for a while now and now that he's finally found you the two of you end up fighting, how would you feel if that happened to you?" Hernandez answered and I remained silent. "Exactly, now I suggest you talk to him when he's calmed down, hasta luego," Hernandez stated as he stood up and walked off, leaving me alone on the deck.
I sighed and then brought my eyes down to Antonio again. I sighed again and walked over to him. "Antonio," I said and he turned to face me.
"What the hell do you want?" he asked irritated and I winced slightly, "Did you come to insult me more?"
"No," I replied calmly, trying hard not to let him see how much his comment had hurt.
"Tsch, there's a surprise," Antonio said angrily as he crossed his arms and I winced again.
"The stars are pretty tonight, aren't they?" I replied as I gazed at the sky.
"Sí and?" he said, still a little irritated, but he sounded a little calmer.
"I remember gazing at them when I was younger, you used to tell me all the different constellations, the Archer, the big and little dipper, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Leo," I replied as I pointed them out and then turned to Antonio, who was staring at me with surprise in his eyes and arms at his sides. "You loved to stargaze and you always dragged me along with you, it irritated me to no end, but over time I began to love it too. I enjoyed the nights we went stargazing and I always looked forward to it, it was our special thing and it meant the world to me even if I didn't show it," I said and smiled slightly as I turned to look at the sky again.
"You forgot the most important star in the sky, the North Star," Antonio replied as he pointed to the star he was talking about, "That's the star that has forever guided me since you left me mi ángel."
"I don't suppose sorry is enough is it?" I asked as I looked at him.
"No mi ángel, not this time," he answered sadly.
"I didn't think so," I sighed and looked down as a few tears escaped my eyes. "I really am sorry though," I said.
"I know mi ángel," Antonio replied, "But it's not going to cut it, or at least not right now." I continued to stare at the dark wood of the deck of the Estrella and remained silent. Then a second later I felt Antonio's warm hands on my cheeks and a light kiss on the top of my head. "Buenas noches mi amor," he stated and then he was gone. I sank to the deck and gazed at the stars in the sky above. 'Oh god, what am I supposed to do? How do I get him to forgive me?' I thought and sighed. Then I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I was lost, I had never felt this broken before, yeah sure I was lonely, but it had never felt like this. 'Why, why do I feel like this? Don't tell me I still have feelings for him. Merda,' I thought, 'No wonder I felt so bad earlier.' At that tears began to run down my face as I rested my head on my knees and tightened my grip on my legs. "Ti amo Antonio, ti amo, please forgive me my love, per favore," I said through my tears, "Mi dispiace." I stayed like that until the sun brightened the sky and then I slowly stood up. I wiped away my tears and stared at the sky, a new determination in my eyes. I had decided that I would prove to Antonio that I still loved him while I helped him become his old, easy-going, self again because sadness was not fitting for Antonio, pure happiness and joy was. I was determined to see him smile again and then maybe, just maybe, things would return to the old times, the times when we were together and the world meant nothing to us, the times we both so desperately missed, the times we were happy.
