Aentiaa: Thank you! Here it is, the wait is over!
Lovino sighed as he collapsed into his bed without bothering to change out of his clothes. His once peaceful mundane life had been wrecked by his idiot brother and the group of bastards with which he socialized. Lovino compared his old life to the one he had at the moment, it used to be everyday same thing, wake up go to work, come home 12 hours later eat dinner and go to bed. Simple, easy, calm. But then someone had to go and fuck the whole thing up. That someone being a particular Spanish bastard.
After he started trying to force his friendship on Lovino his life had gotten hectic. Since Feliciano was also involved in that group of friends he had no choice but to attend. Not only did he want to go to keep Feli safe from the idiots and that potato bastard, but Feliciano refused to let Lovino say no to any stupid ideas that the group may have and would drag him to the meetings. It was a pain in his ass and he hated it, most of the time, but Lovino would do anything to help his little brother and keep him happy.
With that in mind Lovino would go on group outings and sit there silently with a scowl without participating, he ignored the tomato bastard's attempts to get him to come out of his shell and took to only speaking when Francis or potato head would get a little too close to Feli (or himself) for his liking. Either that or to yell a string of obscenities at Antonio when he would try to force his participation or when he would call him that stupid nickname.
So as often as the groups made plans involving the brothers the elder of the two was nearly always dead on his feet. He would wake up at six every morning and would get ready for work before making sure that Feli would have everything he would need to make it through the day. Then he would leave the house and walk to work the long way so that he could have time to relax before his shift. He arrived there at eight and worked until eight that evening with a few half hour breaks that he rarely ever used. Even if he had a break, for some reason unknown to him, they came to be filled by his annoying "friends" and or his brother coming in and pestering him for the half hour before he went back to work.
He never left work before eight and sometimes even ended up leaving later, then now after work he often ended up having to go home and change before meeting them to do something incredibly stupid and pointless. It wore on his nerves and he never got home before midnight, often later closer to two or so in the morning before he could go home and sleep. This left him tired and cranky for the next day which only left to his mood getting worse and he was never even in the slightest frame of mind to try to socialize with the group.
This week they had met twice to hang out, once was when Gilbert had gotten his hands on some illegal fireworks and decided to blow them up in the middle of a field, while everyone was half drunk. The entire time claiming "It is an awesome idea!" the idiot was wrong. That evening went a little something like this:
"Come on guys it will be totally awesome!" Gilbert exclaimed cutting them off and keeping them from walking away any further.
"It does sound fun" Antonio offered slurring his words a little.
"Okay, okay, let's take a vote," Francis said leaning on the Albino for support.
"Ve~ I'm in!" Feliciano chirped "So are Luddy and Lovi," he added before either could speak.
"Alright, if Feliciano is going I will go to," Ludwig said holding the younger man and getting a death glare from the older Italian.
"I'm out, it is a bad idea," Lovino said trying to persuade them.
"No it isn't it is perfectly safe, come on mi amigo you are coming with us," Antonio said and wrapped an arm around the smaller Italian making escape impossible.
Lovino had to admit it was fun to be in an empty field laying on the ground watching fireworks and watching his brother and Antonio run around with sparklers acting like idiots. Antonio and Gilbert eventually began sword fighting with the sparkling sticks resulting in charred clothes, a missing eyebrow and silver hair ablaze after Gilbert had the bright idea to put out the fire with his beer. It was rather amusing.
Eventually half of them passed out and they all woke up the next morning hung over in Francis' house that was on the outskirts of the city and only a short walk from the field. Lovino was even less happy when he woke up and was nearly late for work.
The second time they hang out they all went to a bar and it was pretty calm, Lovino brooded over his drink the entire time ignoring the Spaniard pestering him. About the thirtieth time Antonio asked Lovino to dance and the thirtieth time the Italian declined, they heard a loud SMACK and turned to see the commotion.
Gilbert and Francis had been trying to pick up a set of twins and had insulted the women (they still won't explain how), but they both ended up with red marks on their cheeks and Margaritas in their pants. This caused both Antonio and Lovino to burst out laughing at their friend's pain until the group was forced to leave the bar by body guards. They thought about going to the next one but as it was Francis and Gilbert's pants were already soiled and they were irritated which led to the group parting ways there. Feliciano and Ludwig came to pick up their brothers, Lovino was still adamant about Feli not going to any bars until his birthday, and ended up taking home one of each of the others as well.
Francis ended up being dropped off at his house by the potato bastards which meant that Feliciano and Lovino were stuck with the drunk and cheery tomato bastard. It took them over an hour wandering around town before the drunken Antonio was finally able to locate his apartment. After that Feli and Lovino set off for home so that Lovino could try to sleep the night off.
Lovino would not admit to having enjoyed himself either of the nights no matter how much Antonio and Feliciano prodded him to and went back to his life as normal the next morning. It was not until he woke up that he realised something amazing, he would not have to work the next day! The restaurant was closing down for a week due to renovations and would be closed from that Saturday to the second Monday after that. Lovino would have a whole week of relaxing vacation in which he could do absolutely nothing. Not to mention he did not a horrible hangover from the aforementioned episode the night before.
It was shaping up to be a decent Friday.
Lovino was happy, well happy for him, he did not curse for no reason and his scowl was not as hard set in his face… that was not until he went on break. There at a table he saw two generally normal looking people, aside from the fact that those two people were his brother and a potato bastard, and three miserable looking idiots. At that sight he cracked a smile, "I see you idiotas are paying for what you did last night huh?" he smirked at them eyes happy with their pain.
Gilbert shot him a look, "Shut up the awesome me did not do anything."
"What he means to say, our dear, dear friend," Lovino's face dropped at the sentiment, "Is that your brother here told us you have an old remedy you used to use on your grandfather when he got into this sort of mess."
Lovino nodded lips pursed and he smiled devilishly, "And pray tell why would I give you that?"
"Please Lovi, we need it!" Antonio begged causing both himself and his hung over friends to wince. Lovino sighed, why could he not fucking resist the damn bastard… not like that perverts.
"Alright, fine bastards, I'll be right back." He huffed and turned to go back to the kitchen.
He returned several minutes later with three foul smelling coffee cups. "Drink it." He commanded handing one to each. They sniffed it cautiously before daring to even touch the cups.
"What the hell is it?" Gilbert asked eyeing his like it might explode.
"Something that will wake you up and get rid of the fucking head ache bastard now drink up or I am taking it back." Lovino snapped again and the three quickly obeyed not wanting to pass up their chance for assistance.
Antonio gagged and coughed hitting his fist on his chest repeatedly until he forced the vile liquid down. Francis looked at him and cared for him before taking his own mug and having a similar reaction as did Gilbert. "What the hell dude?" He yelled.
"See it works." Lovino said gathering the glasses and walking away.
"What do you mean it works?" Antonio asked perplexed.
"He just yelled, ten minutes ago if he did that all three of you would be cowering under the table with your hands over your ears begging for quiet and to turn the sun off." Lovino said matter-of-factly scorn atop his face once again.
"Wow, you're right, but what was that stuff?" Antonio commented his smile once again adorning his face.
"Assorted spices, hot water, hot sauce, and some none of your business," Lovino said just as the other's eyes turned red and started watering.
"Hot sauce?" Francis choked out before his mouth was ablaze.
"And that is what you get for bothering me at work," Lovino smirked at them before disappearing back into the kitchen. Feliciano shook his head when he sauce the empty bottle of hot sauce sitting on the table beside them… it had been full when they came in.
After that it returned to being relatively calm, his friends ate before leaving but did not bother him, and a new customer asked to talk to him only to rave about how delicious the food was. 'It was a good day,' Lovino thought when he got home, grateful for the peaceful day ahead as he and Feliciano were the only ones to know of his day off. He kicked off his shoes to relax and had fallen asleep before his phone buzzed, waking him up:
12:47 AM
To: Me
From: Tomato Bastard
Hey! Lovi~!
Lovino sighed and grumbled before replying.
12:50 AM
To: Tomato Bastard
From: Me
What the fuck do you want? I'm asleep damn it. And I told you to never call me that and only use my number during emergencies.
12:51
To: Me
From: Tomato Bastard
Sorry, but Lovi~ I like calling you that, and this is an emergency!
12:53
To: Tomato Bastard
From: Me
Stop it or will cut off your damn head, now what is the emergency.
12:54
To: Me
From: Tomato Bastard
Hang on I'll call you!
Lovino tried to type out his reply of "Don't you dare fucking call me if you value your life." but his phone was ringing before he could hit send.
He moaned and picked it up "What the fucking hell Bastard? You wake me up by texting me then call what the literal hell are you trying to pull?" Lovino raged at the phone.
"Sorry Lovi, I didn't mean to wake you but as you were then awake I saw no harm in calling," The chipper tone of the Spaniard came through the phone making Lovino's heart skip a beat, which he ignored as extreme annoyance on his part.
"Then tell me what the fuck you want so I can go back to bed damn it," was his reply giving no sign of his thoughts.
"Okay, well Feli let it slip that you are off tomorrow-"
The Spaniard was interrupted by a livid Italian, "What the hell was that bastard thinking? He knew I didn't want anyone to know damn it." Then he paused and said a little too calmly, "I am going to kill him."
"Uh, no we would not want that, he is your brother, kill Gil it was his idea to see if we could kidnap you one weekend…" Antonio had an unsure tone of voice like he was hiding something.
"Yeah sure, it was Gilbert's idea," Lovino said knowing full well whose fault it was.
Antonio chuckled nervously, "Yeah, anyway we came up with an idea for what we could do…"
Lovino groaned so much for his peaceful weekend.
AN:
That was a lot of fun! I am looking forward to the next chapter oh so very much… that will be interesting *smirks* I wonder what the trio has up their sleeves this time?
This story is really picking up speed, this is kind of a fluff chapter but don't worry there will be plenty of antics and moments coming up that will make up for it, trust me.
Thanks to everyone that's been reading this so far!
Sorry for any errors like I said I am editor-less for the week and am not that good at self-editing, if you see any errors please let me know I will be more than happy to fix them! Constructive Criticism is welcome too!
But, seriously you guys, I want your input on this, PLEASE! Tell me what side pairings you want or if you just want there not to be any and me focus solely on getting to the SpaMano (it is coming I swear it just takes a while). If no one answers then it will probably just be PruCan and GerIta, I don't know who you want France with or who else you want me to bring into the story (I have ideas for roles for most characters if you want them in here). So please let me know.
Long AN is long I am sorry, ciao!
