Xrdctfvygbhmolk Thanks to the new faves, followers and reviewers! (This is the most popular it's been in one day YAY!)
Reviews:
Forever South: Thank you for reading them XD I assume they go ignored half the time so you are accomplished. Sorry about the cliffhanger… not really… I LOVE THEM! It is too much fun to see if I can leave people guessing… and you'll see everything that has been running through Lovi's mind… I understand what he did but… yeah even I hate what I put in there… And don't worry, don't worry the other parings will be integrated soon enough *smirks* I will look into RoChi and HongIce, I haven't read much on them so I will have to check them out before I can write it. And I feel the same way about FRUKUS, they and the frying pangle are the most interesting love triangles ever. I am also in the same boat with you on twilight: Loved it *ashamed to admit* then realised how I thought it was stupid and instantly hated it. Thanks for doing the poll! I really don't know what stories I want to do . I come up with a new idea everyday (I have over 30 that was just some of them -_- ) It's nice to know someone will read them when I write them (should start Monday or Tuesday but alas currently they are at a tie with only 2 voters)! Your long reviews are awesome! My replies somehow always end up being as long or longer XD I think I have a problem (If I keep this up I might have to move non-guest responses to PM's again…) … Thanks again for the review!
Ayowaeeowa (Ch.1/2) : I am assuming you are the same as Ayowaeeowagmail (If I am wrong I am sorry and let me know…) So thanks for both reviews! I will try! And yeah….. I get that….
I HAVE RETURNED! Here is the new chapter enjoy! PLEASE VOTE ON THE POLL ON MY PROFILE AND LEAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR BACKGROUND COUPLES! I am leaving the poll up until Tuesday because I wasn't here this weekend to post, so go vote now please!
Alright onto the story~
Antonio's POV
Antonio sighed as he continued pacing the hall outside Lovino's room, why wouldn't they just let him stay in there? It would just make everything so much easier.
As he passed the door again he looked through the window again just hoping to notice something. What he noticed actually caused him to smile, somehow during his rounds the Italian had woken up and ate the gelato he left him. Yet now he was asleep again 'I know he needs it, but I… we need to talk to him…' Antonio thought as he headed back to where the others were waiting.
He was incapable of hiding his goofy smile as he walked into the room a happier tone to his steps, Gilbert nudged Francis and they both looked at him slightly optimistic by his disposition. "It's good news I take it?" Ludwig asked hesitantly and looked at the devastated Italian beside him; Feliciano had vacated the world a while ago and was lost in his thoughts. "I really hope it is…" he refused to remove his eyes from the Italian who he then pulled into his lap. Holding the young man and comforting him without even getting a reaction from the Italian.
"He woke up~!" Antonio chirped making the smaller Italian snap his head off of its new place on the German's shoulder. For a moment he looked nervous, worried, maybe even slightly more depressed, then he snapped out of his trance again and acted more like his normal self.
"Ve, He is? Can I go see him?" He looked at Antonio hopefully practically jumping off of Ludwig's lap at the prospect of seeing his brother.
Spain then stopped and took a moment to think… 'Is that a good idea? I want to see him too but I don't know how he will react and we don't want to push him… On the other hand this is an important issue that needs to be dealt with… But with that it is important to handle these things with care…' His mind rambled on and on trying to figure out an answer before snapping back to reality and realising that everyone was staring at him expecting an answer. "Oh, er, uh, I don't know about that, he fell back asleep, I only know he woke up because the gelato was gone and he had some on his face," Antonio shook his head laughing trying to play off the situation.
"Oh…" the younger of the Vargas brothers' head dropped into his hands and he lost every sign of the sudden happiness he had at the prospect of seeing his brother.
Realising again what his words had done Antonio panicked and tried fixing what he said to rebuild the Italian's hope. "But it means something, right?" Antonio moved closer to the Italian, "progress! And you will get to see him soon, as soon as he is awake I bet he will be trying to get you in there to talk!" He tried his best to comfort the Italian, but eventually gave up when he saw his attempts failing and left it to Ludwig to care for him. Antonio eventually sighed and settled into a seat, the first time he had ever been able to relax since coming to the little infirmary.
After a while of sitting in silence Antonio could not take it anymore, he had to get up and move again, had to see if Lovi was alright. He walked back by the room and once again saw the empty gelato cup. 'He must have really liked it to have eaten it so quickly' Antonio mused looking through the window, 'maybe I should go get another one for when he wakes up again…' he quickly made his way back to the group. "Hey guys, I will be back in a minute I am just going to grab some food," he said left the room before he could get a response, much less a question, much less someone trying to stop him.
He exited the building and fresh air hit him filling him with a new vigor to help his healing Italian friend and he set off to find the Italian stand he had bought the gelato from the first time.
Antonio's POV
Antonio made his way back to the infirmary with gelato in hand just happy to be able to be of some assistance for Lovi… even if it is just gelato… He hoped the Italian to be awake when he arrived but also that he would not be so that he could be there when he woke up. 'Hmmm… this is a difficult position…' he thought at he re-entered the building only to see an empty chair where an Italian once sat. "Where is Feliciano?" he asked upon entering fearing the answer.
"He went back to sit with Lovino until he wakes up," Gilbert replied nonchalantly settling back into his seat from his sudden awakening. 'Good' Antonio thought as a response 'Maybe he is still asleep and nothing bad happened…' He was terrified of something upsetting Lovino after something like what happened today did, yes he wanted to know but he also knew he needed to give him space, something he was not sure if Feliciano would understand enough to not upset said Italian.
This insecurity ended in him speed-walking to Lovino's room as soon as he was out of the waiting area. He hoped he would get there before anything could happen, but it was too late.
He froze in the doorway with the gelato being held too tightly in his hands as he looked petrified at the scene playing out in front of him. The brothers were fighting for the first time that Antonio had ever seen and he had no idea what to do about it. He remained there frozen watching the scene play out and escalate, still not completely sure on the situation.
"This isn't all my fault Feli! You could have noticed something was off and done something about it sooner!"
Antonio watched in silence as the argument played out, sometimes understanding what was being said and sometimes being completely lost about what was being said. He felt both sides of the argument had good points and was unsure of what side to take. He watched for several minutes before the argument ended, he could not deny how it ended made him smile, Lovino ended up completely turning sides to try to alleviate his brother's guilt despite them still arguing over it. It all ended with a long embrace that Antonio was happy that it happened and also felt awkward standing in the doorway and was about to walk away when someone spotted him.
Hazel eyes studied him nervously as their owner stammered "Uh… h-how l-long were y-you standing there…?"
Antonio knew his choice of words should have been better but responded with "Long enough, care to explain?" anyway. He really needed to have the situation explained to him, he had thought he understood everything… that was until the argument. Now he was confused to the point he wasn't even sure of why Lovino was in the infirmary in the first place.
Antonio's POV and Lovino's POV
'Fuck of course he wants to know… but what do I tell him?' Lovino thought in his head then began debating between the options of what he could tellhim about what happened. That was, of course, until he met Feliciano's eyes, they seemed to hold a look that said 'Tell him the truth' as if he could read his mind. "I don't know where to start," Lovino collapsed back against the bed giving up on explaining himself.
"Fratello, if you don't tell him, I will," Feliciano looked innocent but portrayed his threat ever so slightly.
"I don't know what to say here, Feli," Lovino retorted looking at his brother with an icy glare.
"You could always start at the beginning…" Antonio proposed trying to avoid another fight, but in doing so he startled both the Italians… 'So is that what would have happened if I had interrupted earier?' he pondered as Lovino searched himself for a voice.
OoOoO
Lovino stared at Antonio wide-eyed trying to make sense of what just happened and trying to find words to form a response. "I- I… Okay…" He hung his head in shame after that word and leaned against the pillows hoping it would ease the act of talking. "But first, how much do you know?" the Italian asked looking away from the Spaniard until he finished asking and looked him dead in the eyes.
"Oh, okay, well, I don't know much… I know that this has something to do with pills and that those pills are why you're here…. But I don't know what the pills are or what the situation surrounding hem is…" Antonio looked away sheepishly embarrassed by both how much he knew and how much he did not indeed know.
"Don't get the wrong idea… it is much more complicated than it seems…" Lovino trailed off looking out the window trying to find the words he so desperately wants out in the open. Feliciano had snuck out of the room sometime during the short exchange leaving the two alone.
