Hello everyone! Thank you soooo much for sticking with me for this long! I've had some things in my personal life happening, but during which I've finished this story yay! Sorry for taking forever to update, but here's the fifth chapter to "A Promise Worth Everything"!

The bar was now lively with business. Lovino wasn't sure when the waves of customers would end. Every seat and booth was filled with different types of people from college students celebrating their last exam to aged couples happily enjoying their anniversary. At this rate, the bar would be too crowded that they'd have to use the seats on the patio. Sure it was only the beginning of winter and summer still lingered, but that didn't mean it was hard to freeze out there.

By 11:45 pm, the endless ambush came to a halt for the day. Much to Lovino's surprise, they didn't use the patio. He went around the building, picking up leftover glasses and taking orders. His shift ended at 12, so he had to be thankful for that. Lovino wondered what Feliciano was doing right now; probably unknowingly getting hit on by some weirdo on the streets. Well Feli was a grown man and knew how to take care of himself. Lovino brought the remaining bottles and glasses in his hand to the back of the bar and placed them next to the sink. Scrubbing away endlessly at a plate above the counter was Alfred, an exchange student from America. He'd been working with Lovino for about 4 months now. He glanced at Lovino, giving a small smile. While the two weren't best of friends, they had a mutual friendship that mostly consisted of them drinking out and away their own personal problems. What could he say; Alfred was easy to confide in. Lovino hurried to the left of Alfred to grab his coat and bag and leave for the night. He figured maybe he could get a head start on the way back home since business seemed to be dying down. Slipping on the clothing, he headed towards the door, sneaking a quick glance at Ludwig and his group. They were all laughing wildly. Someone grabbed Lovino's arm as he put his hand on the door,

"You're leaving so early Lovino. Do you have somewhere to go? I can drive you there." Antonio smiled and asked.

"No thanks I'm fine." He replied, trying to hurry up and leave.

"Well in that case, can I talk to you outside?" Lovino shot him a questioning glace and suspiciously nodded. What in the world could Antonio want now?

"Lovino listen to me. There's something I really need to tell you about." Antonio glued his eyes to the floor. The two were outside now, just out the corner of the bar. There was no one else in sight.

"Yeah I get that. What?" He said in response with annoyance. Lovino couldn't have said no since it was his boss, but Feliciano was probably eating dinner alone by now.

"Lovi I… I want you to come home with me." He glanced up at Lovino, who was way too confused at the situation at hand.

"Excuse me? I'm sorry but I have places to be, so no."

"Just give me one second!" Antonio caught Lovino's hand.

"I said no, okay? Let me go!"

"Trust me! I won't do anything to you!"

"Hell no bastard! Do you think I'm some fucking idiot?" Suddenly, Antonio pulled Lovino in for a kiss. A full on kiss. Lovino pushed him away with all he had. "What the hell Antonio?" Lovino didn't hesitate to punch him at all. He quickly stormed away; face flaming red with either anger or embarrassment.

"Dear Lovi, I went to Luddy's house; I'll be back in the morning. Dinner is in the fridge. Take care of yourself!" Lovino found a note from Feliciano on the kitchen table. Great. Just splendid. He was alone and his airhead of a brother was going to so guy's house alone. This day was definitely not going as planned.

Well that's all for chapter five! Thank you for reading and stay tuned you lovely readers! Bye for now!
