You were somehow able to make it though the forest with Lovino without trying to strangle each other. It was a pretty long walk, by the time you were half way to his house it was already nighttime, and to your eternal shame you had to,ugh, hold his hand the rest of the way. You shuddered at the thought. The forest let in so little dark that it was a miracle that Lovino didn't run into a tree or trip on a root. By the time you made it back you were on the edge of breaking down from being in the dark for so long.
You could make out some of the details from thel light inside the house, it was a two story, white house, the roof was a dark red with a brown brick chimney. You could see a silhoette of a large man through the window.
"Hey! How long do you plan to cling to my arm!" Lovino said turning slightly red. You realized that you were hugging Lovinos arm to your chest and quickly let go.
"A-Anyway lets go inside," you said getting embaressed and quickly walking towards the house. You reached out to open the door but suddenly the door swung open, in your suprise you quickly hid behind Lovino. In the door way was an extremly tall german, his blonde hair slicked back and was wearing a frilly pink apron over a white t-shirt and green boxers.
"Lovino! Your late! I put alot of work into Dinner and its cold now!"he said not noticing you and yelling at Lovino. You took this as a chance to grab your messenger hat from your bag pulling it low over your forehead.
"Man your annoying," Lovino said.
"Annoying, look why don't you just make your own dinner if I'm so annyoing!" The german looked like he was going to keep yelling but apperently just decided against it "Just get in," he sighed.
"Oh by the way I picked up this ugly looking hobo on the way home, looks like we'll have to keep it for the night," he said grabbing you by the shoulders and pushing you in front of him
"Hobo? Excuse me but your the one who invited me!"
"I dont remember doing that, if I remember correctly your the one who was begging on your knees to let you come come with me,"
"That never happened!"
"Ugh, just ignore him, this ones really irritable if you haven't noticed by now," he said to you. "Oh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ludwig, its nice to meet you," he said taking a formal bow.
"Oh my name is _ nice to meet you," you said following his example and bowing as well.
"Yeah and my names Lovino now that we got all the introductions out of the the way hurry the hell up and stop blocking the entrance. Its fricken freezing!" Lovino said pushing you in side.
It was a suprisingly cozy and homely type living room. It was wood boarded, with several patches covering the entirety of the ceiling, probably from rain, the furniture all looked homemade, a large green couch sat in the middle with a large oval shaped rug in the front of it. Several games were stored away in a shelf beside it, like jacks, spinning tops, and a whole legion of white flags.
The two guys walked in through a door to the right, you follwed suit and found their kitchen, it had the basics with a couple cupboards, a stove, a sink, and a counter, on top of it were container after container contained practically every pasta known to man, on the table there were three plates, two of the plates had a large mountain of pasta and the other practically had a years worth of wurst .
"Huh? Why are there three plates? You didn't know I was coming. is there anyone else who lives here?" The second the question left your lips the mood changed. The two looked at each other and an understanding passed between them. They were obviously hiding something.
"Anyway lets eat, _ you can have the second plate of pasta," said Ludwig breaking the akward silence, pulling up a chair in front of the pate of wurst.
You sat down taking the seat next to Lovino, you poked the food with your fork a couple times.
"Is somehting wrong" asked Ludwig noticing your aprehension.
"Oh umm no its nothing," you poked it a couple times more before giving it a cautious sniff taking nervous bite of the food. Your eyeswidened and you exclaimed "Wow, this is really good!"
"Huh, haven't you ever had spagetti before?" asked Lovino. "You really are strange,"
"This is really good!" you repeated with more enthusiasm as you took another bite.
"It's just spagetti, it's not that special," said Ludwig.
"Speak for yourself!" Lovino said. "Hmm I guess even hobos like you have a sense of taste," he said to you. Was that his version of a compliment?
You along with the other boys inhaled the food, after finishing the last strand you said "Thanks for the food," got up and headed towards the sink to clean the dishes. Ludwig got up and joined you, Lovino left the table without a word and exited the room, from the sound of his footsteps you could tell he was going up stairs. Ludwig sighed and went back to grab Lovinos plates as well.
"I gues I don't have to ask if you liked the food," he said standing next you as he washed the dishes
"Yup, I loooove pasta!" you said happily.
"Hmmm," he said looking at you the same way Lovino had earlier, as if your reminded him of someone.
"W-What is it?" you asked.
"Oh, nothing it's just that, you seem different than how you were earlier," he said. It was true, no matter how hard you tried to distrust others, despite having been abandoned so many times you always managed to warm up to whoever let you in.
"Hmm is that so," was all you said. You finished up cleaning the dishes and after started wiping the table with a rag you found in the counter. Once you two were done cleaning Ludwig led you out to the living room.
"Sorry theres not enough rooms left for you so you'll have to sleep on the couch," he said. Laying out a blanket on top of the makeshift bed.
"What are you talking about idiot, the rooms next to yours is open," said Lovino walking downstairs.
"What? but that's-,"
"Its empty," Lovino said with a bit of force. Realizing what he was implying he smirked, looking at you. "Oh yes of course, how could I have forgotten," he said. "Here go on ahead, I'll be with you shortly, your rooms the first one to the right," You nodded and headed up the stairs. The second floor contained only a hallway with three doors. You were about to go in your room when you heard voices from below.
"So about _," you heard Ludwig say.
"What is there to say? She's just a random hobo, thats it," Romano said.
"Oh really,"
"Yes really, are you implying that I like a loud, argumentative, flat chested person like her?" you bit your lip, restraining yourself from storming downstairs that second.
"You saw it too didn't you. How she acts like him,"
"I have no idea what your talking about,"
"But you even gave her your own room," said Ludwig "Face it you've warmed up to her a bit, afterall you probably wouldn't even do the same for me,"
"Are you an idiot? I just felt like sleeping on the couch tonight," said Romano stubbornly.
You suddenly felt a bit embaressed, knowing that you were sleeping in another boys room. You opened the room and found it to be suprisingly clean. You threw yourself on the bed only intending to test how comfortable it was but imedietly fell into a dreamless slumber.
