Antonio POV
Lovino sat in the living room scowling for some unknown reason as I watched him from the kitchen.
Did he feel neglected from his brother again or did the formentioned talk too much about Gil´s little brother?
He was clutching a pillow from the couch, most likely unaware of how cute he looked like that. I would have jumped him if it wasn´t for the dinner cooking on the stove and today's resolve.
Since Lovi wasn´t happy the whole day though I, for once, complied his every command. Not calling him Lovi, not hugging him, nothing. It was worse than normal days. What could have made him so unhappy?
To make him happy –hopefully- I cooked Pasta with my best sun-grown tomatoes.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the sound of boiling water. I rushed back to the stove, putting the pasta into the pot filled with water and checking the sauce in the other, smaller pot standing on the stove.
"Oy! Spaniard!" I heard Lovi´s cute voice from the doorway. The –cute- little devil ignored me the whole day and now he came to me. Probably just for some ranting but even so he came to me.
"Yeah, what is it Lovi?" I said looking over my shoulder while stirring the sauce.
Shit! Out of habit I forgot the last syllable of his name. There goes my resolve to make little Lovi happy! (Not that he was THAT little anymore)
"Stop calling me that! When is Dinner?"
Did I hear wrong? Most likely! Lovi sounded happier than before.
"It will be ready in a few minutes. Hold on until then."I answered smiling at him still over my shoulder.
I wasn´t prepared for what happened next.
While I was looking Lovi was still in the doorway but the moment I returned my attention to the pots on the stove I felt Lovi´s arms around my waist from behind and his head on my shoulder.
"Hey" I said smiling. I just could not suppress it. "Not hold onto me! How am I supposed to finish dinner?" – "Your words. Live with it." He answered burying his face deeper into my shirt. So I heard it as a mumble but also very clearly.
He was back to his old self with a little affectionate addition. Hopefully it would last and he wouldn´t go back to brooding the next moment. I hate to see him unhappy. Even if he acts unhappy all the time he never looks it one bit. Except when Feli visits with Ludwig or is only talking about him in their "brothers-time".
Which both did not happen very often because Ludwig was busy most of the time and even Feli, as stupid as he may seem, learned fast not to talk too much about Ludwig if he wanted his brother to be happy. Ok maybe he just learned because of some VERY clear "hints" from Ludwig.
I resumed with my task. When I had finished I turned off the stove and laid my hands on Lovi´s "Hey. I´m finished and the rest would be nearly impossible for me like this. Can you move to the table? I´ll be right there!"
Lovi´s grip tightened for a millisecond and then he let go slowly while mumbling something along the lines of: Spaniard! Not able to do anything!
And he moved to the table, sitting in his usual spot.
I rushed to get the pasta out of the water and getting two plates ready with pasta and tomato sauce.
In record time – probably really world record – I had everything ready and on the table, hearing a grumbling Lovi behind me. I did not want another hugging attack – though that wouldn´t be half bad – or more likely some hitting. My head was just thinking one thing: 'Why did he hug me?' The question did repeat itself over and over again. It was hard to concentrate on my tasks. But I am not always the idiot I act like.
I was very happy but equally confused. It was the first time Lovi showed emotions besides anger openly and acted affectionate.
I seated myself in the chair across from him. He started eating right when I sat on the table without looking up. Digging in really fast. I started eating too. Not matching Lovi´s speed.
I had finished half of my plate when Lovi demanded seconds. I got up and went to get it for him. He dug in again. When he finished this time he did nothing. Not demanding more and not jumping up to read or watch TV, instead he stayed on the table silently watching me through his bangs.
When he was little he was clingy like that when he was down with a cold or other illness the next day. I hoped it wasn´t because of that and got up to clean the dishes.
I still felt his eyes trained on me. It heated up my cheeks to feel a gaze on my back for such a long time.
"Hey Lovi~ you want some ice cream?" I said it without turning around "NO!" – "Anything else?" First there was some mumbling that I could not understand with the water splashing in the sink, then his voice got louder
"No! You Spaniard you just want to get rid of me. Just so you can hook up with the perverted rapist frog and Potatobastard No. 2" anger was clear in his voice
"Noooo~ Lovi~ I thought you wanted something when you stayed at the table. And even if I wanted to meet them I couldn´t. They´re both busy."
"There you confessed! You like them more than me" The last part was murmured but I could hear it, because I had turned the water of and around after his angry outburst. I also saw the cute blush adorning his lovely tomato cheeks.
"I would never like anyone more than I like you!" I burst out before I could stop it.
I blushed. Lovi looked up. Right into my eyes. I stared back. It had been such a long time since he let me look into his eyes without them being hard with anger.
Lovino jumped from his chair. I thought he would run of somewhere and brood again, but he dashed straight ahead. I braced myself for some Lovi-like impact, but was tackled back into the kitchen counter by an un-Lovi-like hug. I groaned because of the impact but put my arms around his back hoping he would not protest.
He didn´t resist, if anything he gripped tighter, burring his head into my shoulder, trying to hide his blush, but I saw it.
I started to stroke his back with one of my hands resting there. He squirmed a little but shifted closer.
We stood in silence for some minutes. I began to get tired I worked in the garden the whole day and worried constantly about Lovino. Also my back started to hurt from being pressed into the counter for a long time with the weight of two persons.
I stopped stroking Lovino´s back. He pulled back and looked at me with a content but annoyed expression. I smiled lightly at him "I am tired. Let´s move to the living room."
He still looked in my eyes. Not moving. I felt tempted to just kiss him but I did not dare to kiss him on his mouth.
I leant down and kissed his cheek, moving my hands from his back at the same time. I lifted him up.
The moment Lovino´s feet left the ground he snapped out of his Lovely-Lovi-Stupor
Tomatobastard! Set me down! Pervert! What are you doing?"
I didn´t answer. Just gripped him tighter. Since he was moving so much, I was afraid he would fall. Then I walked to the living room and sat on the couch. Lovi seated in my lap. As soon as I was seated I let my arms fall to my sides. With no arms restricting him he scrambled from my lap, but stayed relatively close instead of jumping from the couch and running.
Leaving a gap of about one foot. He sure was clingy today. Lovi-style.
We sat in silence. At some point I turned on the TV, zapping until I found some utterly useless show.
I leant back, seeing Lovi clutching his pillow and watching the show in the corner of my eyes.
I fell asleep some minutes into the show. Just slightly. Dreaming about a Lovely-Lovi.
I felt the couch move. Then it dipped near my leg and I started to feel Lovi´s warmth but he wasn´t touching me. Lovi stilled again.
I was wide awake again, but kept my eyes closed, so he wouldn´t realize I was awake. I was very curious what he would do after I 'fell asleep'.
I heard another show coming on after a commercial break and I felt Lovi shifting beside me. I still did not move. Some minutes later Lovi relaxed beside me and his head fell onto my shoulder. Then he grabbed my arm and snuggled close to me. He must have dropped his pillow somewhere along the way.
His breathing slowed while he clung to my arm and I dared to look what he was doing.
I slowly opened one eye and looked down.
Lovi had his eyes closed and with his slow breathing I assumed he fell asleep. To test it I moved some. He just mumbled incoherently and clung tighter to my arm.
It was cuter than any other of Lovi´s actions I had seen until now. Him being affectionate like that.
I was now very tired and the show about some animals on TV did not help my sleepiness at all. I shifted until I had Lovi on my lap without waking him and laid down on the couch so he laid on top of me.
He still clutched my arm tightly so it was a little uncomfortable, but Lovi´s warmth on top of me was so nice~
I fell asleep quickly with the TV drowning on about rabbit families or something similar and Lovi´s slow, steady breathing.
I woke up some hours later because I heard an exploding sound. Lovino still laid on top of me but he let go of my arm in favor of gripping my shirt and my now free arm had somehow wound itself around his waist and was now resting on his back.
In TV was some late night action movie. I stretched my arm to reach the remote and could grab it successfully after some shifting. I switched of the TV and Lovi stirred a little bit.
I rubbed his back to sooth him back to sleep, because I wanted to savor our contact. Lovi´s affections.
I did not succeed in keeping him asleep. He struggled on the small line between awake and asleep for some time. To awake to sleep and to asleep to wake up. My hand still stroking his back. He groaned, whimpered and gripped and un-gripped his hands. Then he finally opened his eyes.
His body clearly was awake but it seemed his mind wasn´t.
At first he moved on top of me cuddling, seemingly trying to get as much body contact as possible.
"Mmmh… Warm…"
Then it dawned on him, his again half closed eyes opened wide. He pushed himself up blushing hard.
"Good morning Lovi~"
"W-w-what are you doing under me, pervert?"
Smiling I answered "You fell asleep on my shoulder~"
"Right. Your SHOULDER! Not all over you! Pervert!" He half shouted hitting my chest
"Lovi~ Lovi~ calm down"
"Why? I am living with a pervert who ignores me to plan to molest me after I fall asleep!" He shouted hitting me harder than before. It started to hurt. I grabbed his hands and sat up. Lovino slid down to my lap as he was sitting on my stomach before.
"I did not ignore you! I merely respected your wishes and fulfilled your every demand!" I was a little angry.
"Who said you should do so, bastard?"
I did not know to react.
It seemed Lovi liked the way I acted normally but he always made it seem like he hated it.
In my head there was just one solution. Only one not confusing me further. Only one not ending in disaster and my total defeat. Discussion was out of the question Lovi did misunderstand things I told him easily and I would lose anyway.
The one solution was hugging him. So I did. Lightly so Lovi could escape if he wanted.
Lovi struggled but never made a real attempt to escape. When I hugged him tightly there was no way to know if he really wanted to escape or if he just struggled, but with the possibility to escape it was clear he did not want to escape.
"Stop! Let go! *yawn*" His struggles became weaker " 'm tired. Let go! I want to sleep!"
"Lovi~ Let´s sleep together~" I cooed nuzzling his neck.
"Chigiiii! Pervert! Don´t get carried away just because you got to touch me. NO!"
I sighed and let go before he could painfully headbutt me. Even so he did it. Lovi´s face was almost redder than a tomato and he jumped from my lap. Instantly I missed his warmth as he stormed up the stairs to his bedroom.
I sighed. I was unhappy to lose the body contact with my little Lovi, but I was uber-happy because of the things I got from him. Well, except the headbutt. I got up from the couch feeling tired again. I slowly went to my bedroom and just got into bed and fell asleep again, instantly.
The day of fulfilling Lovino´s - not – wishes hat tired me to no end and the sleep I got in the living room didn´t do much. The tiredness hit me like a brick on the head when I didn´t have to worry about Lovi any longer – for today.
END - for today
Some things you might wonder about:
1. Why is there no Italian/Spanish: I write this in classes -where I don´t have a dictionary- and also I don´t feel confident to do anything right in languages I don´t speak.
2. Why is Lovi´s name just Lovino never Romano: My view on his name is: Romano is the part of Italy he represents. If I would call him Romano I would have to call Feliciano Veneziano. That nobody does, but many use Romano as South Italy´s Human name.
If there are more questions about my story coming up I will answer them in the second chapter... It´s coming... Slowly.
Please Review, etc. if you like it. also review if you didn´t like it! But tell my why^^
I appreciate corrections of my vocabs and grammar. IF you point out what´s wrong and tell me how to do better. Don´t just say: hehe, the sentence with - is total crap hehe
That´s not helping. So please help me improve my language skills.
In summer I have to pick classes somewhat like AP´s and I want to take English, so I want to improve as much as I can.
