LOVINO'S POV
"Wait, you guys were fucking serious? I thought it was a really stupid joke." Lovino questioned to open the door to an over excited Spaniard, hyper Feliciano, two guys who couldn't care less, and someone who looked like they'd rather not be there, all of them holding amusement park tickets. Antonio had two in his hand and was nodding excitedly, holding one out to Lovino who shook his head "What are you guys twelve or something? There is no way I'm going to a fucking amusement park on my day off, I'm not some damn immature child."
"It's not immature!" Feliciano argued with him, "It is a lot of fun, and you can ride all of the big and scary rides you want I won't make you ride the little ones with me this time!" Lovino cringed at both the prospect and the memory before realizing something.
"You don't like big rides and refuse to ride alone, how are you going to ride anything?"
"I have Ludwig this time! He can protect me!" Feli smiled at the blonde man to his left who looked utterly speechless as if this was the first time he had heard about Feliciano's plans for the day, which knowing his brother it probably was. Lovino's anger doubled at this statement, it had always been his job to take care of his fratellino, and he did not like the prospect of being replaced.
"Well if you don't need me then there is no reason for me to go," he said nonchalantly.
Antonio's face fell and the smaller Italian stopped bouncing, "You are going, aren't you fratello, I know how much fun you always have!" he pleaded with the older Italian.
"That was years ago Feli-"
"SO!?" Despite the volume of his voice Feliciano's face was one of pure sadness.
"God damn it Feli, fine I'll go if it will make you shut the fuck up." Lovino grabbed his ticket begrudgingly and went to get dressed in something other than the pajamas he had hoped to wear all day. The others had watched the exchange with worried expressions that soon lightened with the Italian's acceptance of the idea. Antonio looked downright gleeful as did the smaller Italian, Ludwig smiled just happy that Feli was going to be happy and Gilbert and Francis exchanged sly expressions in the background as if they were planning something. Lovino sighed, this was going to be greeeaaaaaaaaaaaat.
By the time Lovino made it back out to the room Gilbert was raiding his fridge, Francis was watching porn on the television, Feliciano was sitting on Ludwig, who was trying to avoid the porn, and Antonio was staring intently at the door waiting on his return. Lovino freaked out at the arrangement, "AGH! What the fuck is wrong with you guys? I can't even go change for five minutes without you wrecking my house, eating my food, and molesting my brother?" Lovino pulled Feliciano off of the German's lap.
"Actually I think it was your brother doing the molesting," Gilbert answered in his brother's defense.
"I didn't molest him, if I had you would have heard us before you saw us," Francis eyed the younger Italian like a five year old eyed a cookie and his comment only served to anger the Italian more.
"Guys, how about we just go, we should get to the park early," Feliciano said looking backwards and up at his brother who still had his hands protectively on his shoulders.
"Good idea, Feli, let's go Lovi~" Antonio said getting up grabbing the latter's wrist and heading toward the door followed by the rest of the group.
"One sec." Lovino said wrenching his wrist out of his grasp and returning to his bedroom before anyone could protest. He firmly shut and locked the door and ran to his dresser quickly removed a cylindrical container from his sock drawer. He pried open the bottle and dumped a pill into his hand swallowing even faster and screwing the lid back on. He stuffed the pill bottle into its hiding spot and walked back over to the door.
"Ready?" Antonio asked popping out in front of him and unable to hide his excitement that rang in his voice.
"Yeah, let's get this over with," Lovino grumbled avoiding eye contact and walking briskly out the front door.
LOVINO'S POV
Lovino hated the car ride, he hated every second of it. Somehow Antonio and Gilbert convinced everyone that piling into one car for the hour long trip would be a good idea, that it gave them "bonding time" (guess which bastard's idea that was)and saved money. Apparently both of those things were worth Lovino being on the verge of strangling somebody.
He had ended up in the back seat in between the pervert and the tomato bastard and his brother was in between the two potato bastards, the silver haired one was driving as this had been his demon spawn of an idea. The car was extremely small meaning that no one had any room, they were all flush against each other, leading to very uncomfortable moments every time the albino took a sharp turn too quickly, which, though needless to say with him driving, was frequently. Lovino ended up falling into Antonio's lap on several occasions with the French bastard on top of him, that was unpleasant, but when it happened Antonio shoved the pervert off but kept Lovino in his lap a moment longer until he moved himself willingly, and he did not stay there longer because he liked it damn it he just didn't want to be near the wine bastard again, yeah that's why… However Lovino and Antonio both only allowed the opposite to happen once, the only time Lovino and Antonio fell into Francis' lap had been a nightmare.
Antonio had quickly corrected himself allowing the Italian to sit up, but the Frenchman had no such ideas, he held the Italian boy where he was in an awkward position above the perverted man until Antonio helped pry him off. Antonio then shot a nasty glare over the Italian's head at the Frenchman and mouthed "Sin tocar." who looked perplexed and even scared for a moment before a look of understanding, which led to Antonio's confusion, passed over him and he held his hands up in an "I surrender" motion to which Antonio responded "never do that again", communicated clearly through a glare rather than through words. After that every sharp right turn the Spaniard braced himself so he would not fall over and held the Italian in place as well, which said Italian was immensely grateful for. Although this didn't help the Italian keep from falling into the Spaniard on left turns… not that he minded however much he would protest the opposite.
The car ride felt far too long for Lovino and by the time he got out his legs were stiff and he had the feeling that if it had gone on for another minute he would have either killed or been molested by if not by one bastard then by the other. During his torture he had forgot about Feliciano, luckily the potato bastards did something right, the younger kept Feliciano upright the entire time, except the small portion of the ride that Feli napped on his shoulder. Luckily, that was the time Lovino fell on France and spent twenty minutes with his face buried in his hands ignoring the bastard's panting (and the angry looks going on over him).
Regarding that fact Feliciano got out stretched and was his bubbly self immediately. "Ve~! Fratello, let's go inside already!" Feliciano grabbed Lovino's hand and pulled him into the park along with Ludwig leaving the rest of the group behind.
The got in the line to go in and waited as everyone in front of them had their privacy breeched by security guards. One woman was pulled to the side and forced to sign a lot of medical forms and cap because she had an EPI pen, A FUCKING EPI PEN. This caused Lovino to think back to the pills he had left in his drawer at home, 'Good thing I didn't bring those… Who knows what would have happened if I had…' before he caught himself and shook his head, 'I came here to have fun. I don't need those fucking pills. I will be okay without them. I can have fun without them.' By the time he had convinced himself they were near the front of the line and Feliciano shot him a worried glance about his sudden iciness but Lovino gave a comforting scowl to prove he was once again back on earth. This frown deepened when Lovino passed through security, after that Feliciano picking up on his uneasiness, that was until the Bad Touch Trio came in behind them and distracted the younger Italian.
ANTONIO'S POV
Antonio sighed when he had to get out of the car, "That was fun!" he said thinking of all the times that Lovino had fallen into his lap.
"Of course it was fun for you mon cher, you spent half the time with a certain little Italian in top of you" Francis said causing Gilbert to stop walking towards the park and head over to them.
"Well, well, well, what is going on over here, are you guys keeping a secret from the awesome me?" He said when he arrived looking expectantly at his friends.
"No, there is nothing to hide," Antonio replied smiling and heading to walk over to Lovino and the others in line when he was stopped cold in his tracks by the words behind him.
"Nothing besides the fact that dear Toni here is in love with a certain little Italian boy…" Francis said smirking at him.
"I am not in love with Lovi!" he retorted defensively.
"Is that why you assumed it was Lovino I was talking about when there are two little Italian boys here? I could have just as easily been talking about Feliciano," Francis laughed and Gilbert's eyes flew open.
"¡Cállate mentiroso!" Antonio yelled at the laughing man.
"Toni, why didn't you tell me?" Gilbert questioned a hurt expression crossing his face.
"Because it isn't true, I don't like Lovi, we are friends nothing more." Antonio stated plainly hoping to finally convince his friends of this.
"Is that why you were so happy every time he fell all over you and you did nothing to stop it or move him when he did? Or the one time he fell on me you freaked out and told me "Hands Off" in Spanish no less," Francis smirked at him and he ignored the look. Antonio thought back to the ride… why else would he had defending Lovino against Francis' advancements? Of course they were friends, and he was only happy when Lovino fell into his lap because he likes hugs and the Italian never gave them willingly… 'That makes sense, I don't like Lovi,' Antonio decided, 'But how do I tell them that and get them to believe me…?'
"He did what?" Gilbert said looking surprised, then with a smirk, "I didn't know you were so overprotective of those you love Toni."
"Shut up I don't like Lovi like that, I was just trying to be a good friend and keep Francis from molesting him, is that such a bad thing?" Antonio questioned throwing a dirty look at the blonde.
"Yes it is," Francis answered quickly.
"No, protecting friends from that pervert is not a bad thing Toni," Gilbert laced an arm around his friends shoulders and grinned at the Frenchman. He began walking toward the line at the entrance with Francis following behind sullenly. They were almost there before Gilbert asked, "Okay now tell the awesome me, do you really like him, I think we both know the answer to that don't we?" he elbowed Antonio jokingly in the ribs but did not get the desired laugh.
"No I do not like Lovi, Gil, please accept my answer and drop it," He replied flatly losing his smile and made Gilbert take him seriously, and worry about him a little. Francis caught up then and looked at Gilbert expectantly who just shook his head and Francis shot a sympathetic look to his friend. The conversation was then dropped to prevent angering Antonio.
LOVINO'S POV
Although it was designed to be a group outing the friend group quickly split up due to conflicting interests of the members. Feliciano had took Ludwig off to the child side of the park so that he could enjoy the smaller rides, Francis and Gilbert made a beeline to the water slides, and Antonio dragged Lovino over to the thrill rides.
Lovino looked up at the behemoth looming over him unsure of what to do before being pulled into the line by Antonio, "Come on Lovi what are you waiting for?"
"N- n- nothing" Lovino stammered as he stared at the ground trying to avoiding looking at the ride, Antonio, or the spot where his hand was touching his arm pulling him forward.
"Are you scared Lovi?" Antonio stopped pulling and looked at the Italian, who looked up with a red face.
"O-Of course not, how dare you say such a thing, you damn bastard!" Lovino yelled trying to maintain his same level of indifference and anger but failing due to his stutter. 'God damn it why am I stuttering?' Lovino questioned himself unable to find an answer.
"It's okay Lovi, there is nothing to be scared of!" Antonio tried pulling the smaller man into a hug but he resisted, "Besides I will be there the entire time," he comforted.
"I-I'm not s-scared damn it! I'm not." Lovino said trying to convince both the Spaniard and himself.
"It will be fun I promise, I will keep you safe don't worry," Antonio said and for some stupid reason he could not comprehend Lovino let him lead him onto the ride.
The ride was not a particularly smooth one, it was one of the most complicated rides in the park and one of the most terrifying. Lovino spent most of the time with his head down and eyes closed due to the wind and the times that he had his eyes open he was trying to scream so hard that no sound would come out and he was silent. Then there was the fact that one of Lovino's restraints was faulty, which they did not realise until the ride was in motion. Due to that Lovino nearly fell out at a sharp turn and from there on out Antonio had an arm protectively thrown over Lovino acting like a restraint. Antonio enjoyed the entire ride, spending it either laughing or screaming with everyone else, when he would look over at the Italian he would begin a one-sided conversation to try to ease his nerves.
Antonio got off the ride with a grin like a little kid "See wasn't that fun?!" the Spaniard inquired of his friend pulling him away from the exit to the center of a little square of pathway.
Lovino thought about it for a moment before deciding that as fucking scary as it was, he had fun on the ride, "It wasn't that bad…" He trailed off but smiled faintly as he said this, betraying his real emotions, but he caught himself quickly and replaced it with a scowl, but not before the Spaniard saw it.
"Lovi smiled, he really smiled!" Antonio half sang half shouted before picking Lovino up by the waist, lifting him to his chest and spinning him in circles.
"What the fuck? Put me down!" Lovino screeched (in a very manly way of course) and punched and kicked at Antonio.
"HAHAHA, Sorry! I was just so happy that you liked the ride!" Antonio beamed as he put him back on his feet.
"Bastard! Don't you ever do that again!" Antonio looked down sadly and Lovino felt bad for the poor bastard, so he offered consolation in the form of fun, "what do you want to ride next?" he inquired and the Spaniard's eyes lit up as he spouted out a list of at least a dozen ride names.
By the time one o'clock rolled around they started to head back to the lunch area to meet up with everyone and on the way something caught Antonio's eye. "Lovino! We have to ride this!" he grabbed the Italian's arm and pulled him in the direction of the basically empty line.
They got in line in time to hear a list of directions being called over a speaker "Keep hands in feet in the ride at all times. Hold on to the safety bars. Two to three people in one car. You must be the same gender as the person you are riding with.". 'Same gender? What the fuck does gender have to do with anything?' Lovino thought before turning to Antonio, "What the fuck is this ride?" he glared at the bouncing man.
"It's the Scream Weaver!" Antonio cheered as they neared the front of the line "It's a lot of fun!"
"All it does is spin in circles," Lovino stated blandly when to his amazement the ride began rising tilting on its side to where it was completely vertical, Lovino thought if it weren't for the straps people would probably fall out and gulped. "I don't know if I can ride that…"
"Yes you can, come on its fun!" Antonio said pulling his arm "It is perfectly safe, no worse than any of the rollercoasters that go upside down."
"But in this you are sideways and upside down a majority of the time," Lovino protested.
"Yes that's what makes it fun, it isn't like anything else!" Antonio protested and before Lovino could reply the people ahead of them filed off of the ride and Antonio and he were pushed through the gate.
Antonio pulled Lovino toward one of the carts and got in pulling Lovino after him. Lovino got in and looked around it, it was approximately two feet wide and three or four feet long, though it felt a lot smaller. The outside windows, or more or less the open sides of the cab, had bars running down them to hold on to and there was a place to put both peoples' feet at the front of the cab. There was a leather bar running along the top, probably so you would not hit your head and then there was one more thing… "WHERE THE FUCKING HELL ARE THE SEAT BELTS DAMN IT!?" Lovino yelled at the man behind him who smirked.
"There aren't any you have to brace yourself," he got a nasty look from the Italian, "It is not that bad trust me!" He begged the Italian who jiggled the closed gate before giving up on escaping.
The attendant came by and locked the door of the compact unit looked at the scene within it and shook his head before walking away. It was that motion that caused Lovino looked at the way they were sitting, there was a seat running down the middle of the cab with foot room on either side and it was being straddled by both he and Antonio… And he was sitting in the opening between Antonio's legs his back flush against Antonio's torso… 'Fuck' Lovino thought jerked forward enough to remove contact, then took a second to realise what he had just thought about… 'That might be the wrong word to think in this situation… Shit!... yeah that works… Shit, this is so awkward..' then he thought another second 'But why is this awkward… I don't like him… He doesn't like me… We are friends… I don't like him…' It became Lovino's mantra as he waited for the ride to begin. It also dawned on him why the instructions for this ride were what they were…. 'Don't they think about gay people? Shouldn't they give a warning or something? Wait, it does not matter I don't like Antonio like that…'
Somehow while he was repeating his mantra to himself Antonio had managed to snake his arms around Lovino's waist and pull him tighter. "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!?" Lovino yelled pushing his arms off.
"It's called bracing yourself, if we don't do it you are going to be flying all over the cab," Antonio chuckled holding up his newly removed hands in the "I surrender" motion. "Trust me I have ridden it before." He tried to put his arms back where they were but got a glare from Lovino and got a hold of the bars on either side of him instead.
"I think I will take my chances," Lovino replied tightening his hold on the bars, glad Antonio was behind him so he could not see how red his face was. Once again he though 'God what is the deal today why the fuck am I blushing?' He didn't have any more time to think before the ride was off.
At first it wasn't so bad the car stayed upright and Lovino thought 'Okay this is just like a super-fucking-fast carousel' I can do this' then the ride picked up speed and as it did the cars laid flat on their sides, no matter how hard he tried Lovino could not brace himself enough to keep from slamming into the side of the car. "Fuck!" He screamed when he hit, somehow Antonio was perfectly centered in the car and had not moved an inch.
"Do you want me to hold on to you again?" He sounded sincere in his offer but Lovino wasn't chancing it.
"F-F- Fu-Fuck no B-bastard" Lovino stammered trying to calm himself as the ride started tilting upwards. "FUCK" He screamed again when his head hit the support bar that really was not as fast as you would think a cushion should be. "D-DAMN IT BASTARD H-HOLD ME!" Lovino stuttered again and Antonio wasted no time following the order, he happily had his arms were once again locked around his waist and he was somehow keeping them both from being thrown around the cab. However with this solution came one problem…
Every time the ride started climbing up to put them at the top Lovino would be pressed even tighter against Antonio causing his breath to hitch, whether that was from the force, the contact, or both Lovino would never admit. Every time the cab would head back to the ground they would both be sent forward, kept together by Antonio and being forced even closer when they reached the front, then they would head back up and they would be flung to the back again.
They spent a minute in that embrace though it felt both longer and shorter to Lovino, how the fuck is that possible? Oh well, eventually he and Antonio exited the cab Lovino about to fall over from his dizziness but Antonio seeming just fine. "Wow, are you okay?" Antonio asked the Italian cautiously turning him to face him, his arms still around his waist holding them as close as they had been on the ride.
"I'm fine, just dizzy, how the hell are you not? And get your damn hands off me bastard!" Lovino suddenly aware enough to feel Antonio's warmth against him.
Antonio obeyed but the second he moved his arms the Italian stumbled forward, into him 'Okay, maybe I shouldn't let go right yet…"
"Just get me somewhere to sit down damn it." Lovino replied walking sideways before leaning against Antonio as guided him to a nearby restaurant with an outside dining area. Luckily it was time to meet up for lunch and Antonio already had a text from Gil asking where they were. He quickly typed out a reply and sat Lovino down at a table before going to get himself and the dizzy Italian food.
