When Felicia awoke again, it was time for Sakura to leave though the Italian female did not want her Japanese friend to leave just yet.
She'd been comforted by the Japanese Beta who despite Felicia's potentially repulsive feelings for Lovino, did not judge her.
"Is it that time already?" Felicia pouted as she walked with one of her best friends to the door to say, 'goodbye.'
"I'm afraid so." Sakura smiled slightly at her friend and told her goodbye in even softer tones.
"I'll see you at school, and hopefully we'll be able to visit again soon." Felicia spoke up, happily, as she leaned against the other female to give her a brief though strong hug.
Finally, their goodbyes were spoken completely after that stubborn silence where neither wanted to say goodbye at all; they hated the thought of having to say goodbye as they'd love to spend more time together, but they knew that they should.
Felicia sighed as she wandered further into the house, still somewhat surprised that Antonia had left so soon.
"How's your new girlfriend?" Felicia finally asked her brother from where she leaned against the wall.
Lovino's face flushed, "I don't have one."
Felicia's eyes widened as she could hear the honesty in his voice, "You don't?"
"I don't." Lovino responded to her.
"But I thought that you two kissed or I heard both of you kiss." Felicia's eyes were still wide from the shock that the two did not end up getting together like she'd thought had happened.
"She kissed me, but I had to tell her that I liked someone else." Lovino muttered in embarrassment.
"To stop her, but I thought that you had this crush on her? Or because you liked someone else?" Felicia asked her older brother in bewilderment.
"I am in love with someone else." Lovino answered his little sister.
"Who?" Felicia asked though she knew that her older brother was embarrassed and probably wouldn't answer her.
"I'm in love with-" He broke off as if choked upon his own words with her right in front of him, prodding him for the answer.
"Who?" Felicia asked him softly, nervous over the answer to her question was.
Lovino stared for a moment without words before motioning her closer, and so Felicia moved closer to her brother only to be stopped by a shy and short kiss upon her lips.
Felicia stared wide eyed at her brother who had stolen both of their first kisses in the span of a few seconds.
"Y-Y-You." Lovino answered, nervously.
"I-I love you too." Felicia responded, feeling that lovely feeling beating way down deep into her chest.
"As more than a sister." Lovino struggled to say though it nearly sounded like he was reprimanding her.
"Me too, I mean I love you as more than a brother." Felicia moved closer to him with the sudden impulse to remain pressed against him.
"Ti amo." Lovino muttered as if it were just a simple breath to fall from his lips at such a moment.
"Ti amo tanto." Felicia answered with a wide grin as she moved to close that gap between their lips as if it became suddenly too much for the feelings running amuck deep in her veins.
Lovino drew her closer as he pressed himself further into their kiss, and they both knew that no matter what, they'd hold on to this love and this relationship and fight for it even if it happened to be more taboo than an Alpha and another Alpha being in love; they just knew that the feelings swimming in their veins were true.
Love held many aspects to itself and with that, love could flourish regardless.
