Antonio's POV
"Where the fuck are we and what the hell are we doing here?" Lovino said when Antonio parked the car in a gravel parking lot off the side of the road that was cut off from the road and surrounded by woods. He eyed the surroundings carefully before turning to the man next to him "You aren't going to kill me or something are you?"
As a reply Antonio laughed. He laughed for several minutes while Lovino screamed at him to stop and that 'it wasn't funny' and 'he was being serious'. When he finally regained control of himself he turned to the younger male beside him a smile still plastered on his face and a deep scowl and glare on the others. "Did you not see the sign?" He asked raising an eyebrow and the younger turned red as he started looking for a sign that he obviously wasn't finding, 'He is so cute! When he blushes he looks just like a tomato! I like tomatoes… I wonder if I can eat him… Wait that's bad why am I thinking like that no, no Lovino is a friend you do not want him like that no… But now I'm hungry… No wait focus here…'.
By the time he got himself to refocus the younger man was staring at Antonio with the same angry expression but the blush had calmed down significantly, much to Antonio's disappointment. So Antonio finally answered his questions, "We are at one of the state parks," he got a weird look from his companion "I volunteer here over summer since I don't have to teach, I still get to help teach people stuff but now it is more like, hiking, white water rafting, that sort of stuff and I get to be a guide. I have always really liked stuff like that and have been doing it a lot lately, especially this past week was busier than normal. Anyway, after what happened last week I thought that bringing you out here for something fun would be a good idea!" Antonio grinned at his friend obviously proud of his little idea and his friend's face sort of changed at one point during his speech but he couldn't figure out why…
Lovino just stared at his friend for a moment before he said anything "We are here because you want to take me on one of those nature experience things?"
Antonio laughed again and got out of the car walked to the other side and pulled Lovino out as well before replying, making sure to capture the Italian before doing so, Lovino stared at the now intertwined hands while he spoke and Antonio pulled them through a little path in the woods. He finally spoke up when they were concealed further in the trees, "Yes, well sort of… I know you have been stressed out and this sort of stuff is a fun way to relax and you can do it with friends but it doesn't have the same annoyances as spending time with friends normally does. It allows you to talk about random things, important things, even nothing or silence." He got a wistful look on his face and he stared up through the trees, "I thought it kind of fit you perfectly…" the last part of the sentence was quiet and almost went unheard by the Italian… almost.
He took an unsteady breath and looked at the Spaniard for a quick moment before looking off into the trees again, "Okay, bastard, so what are we doing hiking or rafting?" he kept his eyes locked off to the side refusing to look at the Spaniard again.
"Oh neither," Lovino looked at Antonio shocked and confused at his answer.
"Neither? Then what are we doing here?" The Italian was suddenly more nervous than he had been in the car and it showed in his voice making Antonio laugh again.
"Nothing to worry about, it is a surprise!"
Lovino punched his shoulder, not hard enough to hurt just hard enough to make him see the real emotions behind it. "Bastard, keeping me in suspense," Lovino grumbled.
"You will see soon enough," Antonio said and pulled the hand (that Lovino just realised he had been holding the entire time) and kept leading him through the woods at a slightly faster pace.
Lovino's POV
'What the fuck is this bastard planning?' Lovino thought as he was pulled through the forest. He believed that he could hear the faint rushing water that would belong to a river… 'So he is planning something on the water, but what the fuck could it be? And why won't he let go of my damn hand?' Lovino tried again to unsuccessfully remove his hand from the Spaniard's but his grip only tightened as he was pulled closer to the sound of the river.
Eventually Antonio pulled him off of the path and started walking through the woods in an area where the ground looked as if it had never been walked before, "Bastard what the hell are you thinking!?" Lovino shouted at this sudden change in direction, "What if we get lost, how are we supposed to get back!?"
Antonio snickered in response before answering with a mischievous tone "We aren't going back in that direction Lovi~."
Lovino felt his stomach drop at the words suddenly overcome with emotions, nervous, anxious, a little scared –Only a little he isn't some little girl or something- and also a little intrigued- no he didn't care what the bastard was planning it was probably stupid or something-… He suffered minor panic and felt that he had to voice his concern, "W-what the fuck is t-that supposed to m-mean?" he silently cursed his stutter as he waited for his reply.
As mischievously as before the Spaniard replied "You will see soon enough Lovi~"
Lovino shivered at the tone but remained defiant resisting to back down to someone that he was now regarding more as a captor than his "friend" "What the fuck? Quit saying things like that! And stop calling me Lovi!"
Antonio chuckled when Lovino recovered his usual demeanor but didn't answer him, which only served to anger the Italian more.
Lovino's POV
Lovino kept ranting, half in Italian half in English, until the duo reached their destination. There was a sudden break in the trees and what he saw there literally took Lovino's breath away. Once the trees cleared away in a little circle you could easily see the river, the water perfectly clear as it ran over a mixture of sand and pebbles that made up the bottom. The trees on either side of the river leaned precariously but remain rooted and were over the water enough to make a tunnel with small holes in the branches allowing you to see the sky. The sky today was a perfect blue but it was darkening as time droned on, at that precise moment it was a little after four in the afternoon, making Lovino wonder again, what exactly was the Spanish bastard up to?
Lovino felt the need to ask but was unable to as he continued to take in the beautiful scenery, a small damn off to the side with beavers hiding at their arrival. Beautiful flowers covering the green surroundings. Small fish swimming around the river unaware of their presence. The birds, cicadas, and crickets all playing their wonderful melodies that came together to make the song of the forest. The rocks that were positioned so perfectly in the river that if he tried Lovino could easily jump across to the other side. It was all so peaceful, so calm. So… perfect.
While the Italian took it all in the Spaniard disappeared but he was engrossed in the beauty Antonio had to clear his throat upon his arrival to get his attention. "This place is beautiful, si?" the answer was obvious to Lovino but he nodded anyway as he continued to stare in wonder, "I love to come here and think, be in a peaceful beautiful place, but that isn't why I brought you here today."
The suddenness of his words shocked Lovino, how could the beauty and peacefulness not be why he was brought here? It brought such a nice and welcomed change to the craziness that he had come to associate with his life. "What? Then why did you bring me here?"
"This," Antonio turned around and grabbed something with each hand before pulling two small boats that had been hidden into the clearing.
The action brought a bewildered expression to the Italian "I thought you said we weren't going rafting?"
"Si, I did, but, this isn't rafting," He earned a look that seemed to scream "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME" but ignored it and kept going, "These are kayaks, and this is a secret part of the river that not many people know about. It has perfectly calm peaceful waters, opposed to the rocks and rapids associated with the rest of it, though there is still enough of a current that you can float down it without too much paddling. I found it when exploring this part of the forest some last year when I wasn't volunteering."
"Okay but I don't see what any of this has to do with this clearing?" Lovino said shocking his friend with the lack of curses.
"Well you see," The Spaniard moved closer and looked off to the side with the river, "If you think this is pretty you have to see it from the river." For once the feisty Italian remained silent, his voice and breath both stuck in his throat, so the Spaniard continued, "There is nothing like seeing the forest and floating down the river, there is no more peaceful or romantic place on earth," the Italian's mind froze 'Romantic? Did he just say romantic? There is no way he could mean… I mean it's not like… Does he?' His blush grew much to the delight of the Spaniard who then tacked something onto the end of his sentence that he leaned in close to whisper, "Especially at night." If Lovino's face had not already been red it would been at that statement when the thoughts came back faster and whirled around his head nearly dizzying him.
Antonio then took his hand, the motion now had a new meaning to the Italian, and led him over to the boats. "This one is yours," he said motioning to one of the two sit-on-top kayaks that just so happened to be red, green, and white with a red paddle and life-vest that was smaller compared to the other. Antonio then stepped away to his own kayak which was orange and red with orange paddle and life-vest.
The Spaniard quickly and easily slipped his vest on over his head and began adjusting the straps so that it fit perfectly. The Italian on the other hand was having a few issues. He was shocked to have arms wrapped around him as Antonio began adjusting his jacket for him, causing the blush on his face to grow even darker. "There you are, now you are ready to begin," he said turning the still red Italian to face him "Lovi! You look exactly like a tomato!"
"Shu- Shut up!" The Italian stammered only succeeding in darkening his blush, 'Oh god, why me? Why am I hear with this Spaniard that looks incredibly… NO NO NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THESE THOUGHTS!"
"Oh! Wait! I am an idiot I almost forgot!" Lovino stopped and stared at the now sheepish Spaniard that picked up the bag he had lain by the kayaks, "Well we can't exactly go into the river like this, so I had Feli pick out your swimming clothes, you need to go change…"
Lovino stared at him dumbfounded before he found his will to speak, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT THINK OF THIS EARLIER BASTARD? Why didn't you have me change when we were I don't know at my house? Or even at that changing station in the parking lot? I don't want to change in front of you in the middle of a damn forest!" his face re-flushed with red either at the embarrassment of the idea or anger at Antonio's stupidity, he wasn't quite sure which.
"Lo siento, but that would have given away the surprise!" Antonio nervously chuckled then looked around, "We are surrounded by trees and there is a thick part over there so you go change over there, I will change at the area behind me and then we will come back here okay?"
The now annoyed Italian grumbled as he took his clothes and stormed off to the point designated as his changing spot by the Spanish bastard. He stopped when he got there and realised something before heading back to the clearing, "Antonio you bastard, you need to help me get this damn thing off!" He called in Antonio's general direction motioning to the life-vest he had had trouble with moments before.
Antonio appeared through the foliage seconds later "Wha- OH! The life-vest of course I forgot!" And he stepped out of the plants to help Lovino.
"Of course you did –" Lovino was going to add bastard to the end of the sentence when he caught sight of Antonio. Antonio had stepped out from the trees, only he was no longer wearing a shirt. Lovino had to refrain from gaping when he saw exactly how muscular the Spanish man was. He had had some idea but never expected it to be so… so… the Italian could not explain how amazing the Spaniard looked as he walked over to the now red-again-faced Italian.
Lovino froze when, for the second time that day, Antonio wrapped his arms around him pulling him closer, only now there wasn't anything separating the Spanish man from him but his own clothes. He had to suppress a shiver that wanted to run up his spine at the contact and Antonio's warmth as well as question why exactly his heart was beating faster in the close proximity. 'Wha-What the hell is going on here? Why do I feel like this, much less about Antonio? He is my friend, right? Then why was he talking about romance and why does him being here shirtless make me want to… NO, no that isn't right oh god I don't know what the fuck is going on anymore!' The Italian's mind raced and before he realised it the life-vest was over his head but Antonio held him close a moment longer.
Once his brain processed the information he pushed Antonio off of him and backed away, "Th-Thanks bastard," He said grabbing his vest.
"No problem, why is your face red again? Oh, does my being shirtless make you nervous Lovi?" Antonio grinned as he asked the question, it was practically a malicious smirk in Lovino's eyes, and god was it sexy, 'No no no' the Italian berated himself in his mind.
"O-Of course n-not, it is just awkward is all," Lovino defended his face growing redder and him cursing himself for his stutter.
"Whatever you say Lovi~" with that Antonio walked away the smirk still adoring his face. And Lovino made the mistake of watching him as he did so. That was not a good idea on his part because the second his Spanish FRIEND walked away his eyes immediately fell to the chiseled back, then something slightly lower. 'HOLY SHIT!' the Italian's mind almost yelled, 'His ass is amazing!' he momentarily wondered how it took him so long to notice, then he immediately started cursing himself for having any sort of thought like that cross his mind.
The Italian practically ran off to his spot in the woods changed his clothes as fast as possible only to have the image of what he just saw flash before his mind refusing to let him think. He thought of the muscles on his torso, so firm so toned, so amazing, and mentally slapped himself. He thought of his back same toned aspect so tan so smooth looking, and shook his head clear. He thought of that tight round- he didn't even let himself finish the thought before he really slapped himself. He thought about he just wanted to run his hands down those muscles, over his back, or cup that nice firm- and he slammed his head into the nearest tree.
By some stroke of magic and much to his dismay he found himself changed and had to go back to the clearing, where he was already waiting the normal goofy smile plastered to his face. He took in the appearance of his friend who was now wearing water shoes, swimming trunks, and an underarmour shirt that perfectly hugged every muscle that covered his chest. Lovino resisted the urge to just touch one of the underlying muscles and continued yelling at his mind. 'He is your friend, as much as you hate to admit it, quit thinking like that. It is a bad idea, very bad idea. Not to mention you don't even know if he likes guys that way, I mean he is friends with Francis so it is likely NO, NO, STOP! Bad Lovino stop it.' He shook his head and had only one more thought as he looked at the kayaks in front of him, 'This is going to be a long day.'
Antonio smiled when he got back behind the trees, 'Seeing me shirtless made Lovino blush, YAY! Imagine what would happen if he saw me completely… Why am I thinking about that? We are friends why do I keep thinking like that? Oh well I guess I should go back out there.' With that he returned to the clearing to await his friend's return.
When that happened he could not say he wasn't happy, Lovino's face was still slightly red but he still adorned that cute scowl that he always had. He was wearing an outfit not unlike Antonio's and like Antonio's his shirt was tight enough to detail his chest. The tight cloth displayed a not very muscular but still extremely toned physique and Antonio longed to see what lay under it. 'Wait those thoughts again. Why do I keep having those thoughts? Maybe I spend too much time with Francis…?'
Antonio was snapped out of his thoughts when Lovino spoke up "Oi bastard, are you gonna help me out here or not?" He looked up to see the Italian struggling with his life-vest again and chuckled as he walked over to help. That was when he noticed what position he always seemed to be in when helping Lovino with said vest… he couldn't say he didn't like being so close to the Italian without suffering abuse and held on a moment too long. Then the abuse came. Lovino pushed him off muttering Italian curses under his breath as he did so with a slight pout under his scowl.
Antonio had thoughts about what to do to those pouty lips 'Again with those thoughts… maybe this wasn't such a good idea… But Francis said it was, so it had to be, right? Of course!' He looked back to the Italian with pouty lips and sighed a little on the inside 'This is going to be a long day…'
Lovino's POV
A few minutes later they were ready to get out on the water, Antonio had put their clothes in a waterproof hole on the front of Lovino's kayak and was now instructing him on how to get into the water. After several minutes of trying to explain, that ended up with Antonio holding the kayak steady while Lovino got in and pushing it off followed by Antonio putting his own in the water getting in and pushing himself off the bank. After that Antonio demonstrated how to use the paddle correctly and without too much splashing, again it didn't go as well as he hoped but eventually Lovino got a hold of it and down the river they went.
The water was moving more swiftly today because of the large amount of rain they had gotten the day before, so the pair were able to just lazily float down the river on multiple occasions. This made it easier on Lovino, it being his first time, no matter how much the Italian insisted it wasn't true Antonio new that after about an hour of constant paddling they would be okay to float for a while and enjoy the scenery. Lovino had to admit that the damn tomato bastard was right, the scenery as pretty as it was on land was nothing compared to the view from the river. You got to see the wild life closer and from a more natural view, you got to see the clear water and multicolored stones making up the bed up close, you got to hear the crickets and cicadas completely take over your hearing. That was until Lovino could swear he heard the sound of rushing water.
"Uh, Antonio," he said and no there was no hint of panic in his voice, no, not at all, "Um, is it just me or does it sound like there is something up ahead of us?"
"Wha-?" Antonio seemed to snap out of a trans-like state and paid attention to his surroundings for mere seconds before realisation hit, he muttered under his breath before answering, "Mierda, I forgot, Okay Lovino, I was wrong, you get to learn how to go through rapids anyways." There was a hint of irritation to his voice, most like at himself but still Antonio's words made Lovino slightly panic.
"Wha-What? But bastard I thought you said it was smooth water through here?" Lovino's voice did not waver despite what Antonio would say and he was not terrified of what he felt was impending doom.
"Lo siento, but what you need to do is paddle so that you pick up speed to get through over any rocks, if you get stuck then use your paddle to push off, try to steer away from any rocks you see, use the opposite side of the paddle from the direction you want to go and paddle with that side to turn. DO you understand?"
"Y-yes" Lovino stammered and the duo began paddling "Shit that isn't a rapid that is a…" Lovino's voice died when he saw what was in front of him. Not a bunch of rocks acting as obstacles creating turbulence but a lot of clear water then poof no more water. But lots of noise from water… It did not take long for it to click in Lovino's brain that this was a waterfall he was going to go down a waterfall in a sit-on-top kayak. With no helmet. He was going to die.
They reached the waterfall at exactly the same time and both screamed before splashing into the cold depths below.
"LOVIIIIIIII!"
"ANTONIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Antonio's POV
He had no clue how he did it. How they both did it. They both managed to make it over the waterfall and land in the water while staying inside of the kayaks.
Antonio grinned like a maniac and turned his head to his companion but his face froze with horror at what he saw.
Lovino's face was frozen in fear and worry, his eyes open wide bewildered still thinking they were falling down the rushing water. He wasn't sure what just happened and stayed in that dazed state for a few seconds before blinking out of it. "I just went down a waterfall…" it was a whisper like he didn't believe it. "I just went down a waterfall." That time it was a statement and his eyes looked cold like they were examining the fact. "I JUST WENT DOWN A FUCKING WATERFALL!" That time it was excited, amazed at what he had accomplished and he looked bewildered at the Spaniard now grinning again in the kayak beside him. "That was a waterfall I just went down a waterfall and I survived. THAT WAS AMAZING!"
Antonio could only grin wider at his amusement, he loved seeing Lovino like this, yet another new side to the reserved angry Italian. The fact he was acting like an excited little kid about the whole thing made Antonio just want to reach over and hug him again. He didn't. He had some self-control. "Congratulations Lovi!" Antonio said with his smile, he didn't bother tell the Italian that it was a small waterfall, seven or eight feet at most. The Italian's excitement remained on his face for a moment but Antonio had to point something out before it was lost forever, "Lovi, look, isn't it pretty?"
He had turned back to face the waterfall they had just descended, which was now reflecting the orange light of the sun in the late afternoon. The sight was indescribable and breath taking the way the branches cut over the water intertwining and giving incredible shapes and patterns for the light to filter through. It was easily the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. They remained like that facing the waterfall watching it shrink from view as they were forced down the river until they couldn't see it anymore.
They continued to float down the river for an unknown passage of time. They didn't really pay attention to or care how long it was. They seemed to talk about everything and nothing, from the shallow meaningless topics, to deep important topics, to topics so important that they shaped the person they were talking to, or even the most words were said in the comfortable silence they would fall into. They would look at their surroundings, or each other in complete silence, lost in their thoughts or letting their minds wander pointlessly. But it was comfortable, just being in the other's presence was comfortable.
After a while Lovino turned his attention to the sky, watched it dance and change over them intercut by branches and falling into unbelievable patterns. He watched it change from blue, to orange, pink, purple, and finally darker shades of blue before he finally spoke up. "Antonio," he spoke quietly not wanting to disturb the quiet, "The sun is going down, isn't it time that we leave?"
"Why would we do that, I told you the river is beautiful under the stars, and I expect you to see it, not to mention we are nowhere close to the point where we get out that is at least two hours away." Antonio also spoke quietly, for once, also reveling in the quiet beauty of nature.
When Lovino broke it. "What are you talking about? It must be after eight already, we must have been out here for hours!" He no longer cared for the quiet he was tired and wanted to go home. He didn't want to admit that being there with Antonio was both the thing he had been happiest about in a long time nor that it made him worry about the reasons behind it. "Besides, what about food are we supposed to starve or something?"
"That reminds me!" Antonio suddenly chirped leaning up in his kayak to his water proof hole that had been stocked by Francis. "I have a picnic!" He pulled out two tomatoes, some churros, and sandwiches, and… wine? "Sorry it isn't pasta but that wouldn't have exactly lasted the trip…"
"What the hell bastard?" Lovino said taking one of the tomatoes "You brought wine?" Lovino eyed the bottle and plastic cups that were with it cautiously.
"Sorry, if you don't want to drink it it's fine…" Antonio looked down obviously nervous about the food and the Italian's feisty attitude.
"No it's fine," Lovino said taking a bite of the fruit and grabbing the cups for the liquid.
Antonio had a huge smile on his face as he rigged the paddles to hold the kayaks together so they wouldn't drift apart and poured the wine. They ate happily talking for a while and by the time they finished the wine was completely gone. Antonio put the trash back into the compartment and closed it before sitting back in his kayak and the conversation died into a comfortable silence as they both looked at the sky.
While they were talking and eating the sky had darkened even more to reveal hundreds of little shining pinpricks and a gorgeous full moon. 'I chose the perfect night to do this…' Antonio thought as he turned to face the Italian next to him who had turned to face him.
Lovino's POV
Lovino had watched the stars for a few seconds, thinking how beautiful they were shining in the sky, looked at their reflection dancing in the water. Looked at their reflection, shining in his eyes. And he couldn't look away. After everything he had seen that day, he couldn't look away from the sight. Antonio under the moonlight was captivating, the way his skin glowed under the soft light, the way his eyes twinkled with the stars, the way his ever present insanely bright smile shown through the night no matter how dark. It was like another star, here on earth sitting right next to him.
Even when Antonio met his gaze, no matter how nervous he felt about it, he couldn't look away. He could feel his cheeks turn pink under the moonlight, and he couldn't look away. He could see how Antonio was still staring at him, and he couldn't look away. He could feel how close they were, and he couldn't look away. He could feel them moving closer and he couldn't look away.
He was captivated by those eyes no longer aware of anything else but the amazing man in front of him. He could feel the wine in his veins making him not nearly drunk but not nearly as sober as would have been a good idea at that moment. But he didn't care. There was Antonio. And that was all that mattered. He was so close. And he was growing closer. Lovino knew what was coming. He did nothing to stop it did not break the silence. He leaned forward to help close the distance…
"CHIGI!" His eyes that he didn't know were closed flew open.
