"Lovino, don't go. Please."

Antonio whispered as his grip tightened on Lovino's hand. He couldn't see Lovino's face in the darkness but he knew it was him. Antonio would know him anywhere.

Lovino momentarily stopped trying to tug his hand away and Antonio's heart jolted as he saw Lovino's hazel eyes blink open and lock with his.

"Antonio let go."

"I can't do that. If I do I think I might die."

Oh god, Lovino don't ask that of me. How am I suppose to even breathe without you? If I let you go, I am going to die. I need you. Lovino, why can't you understand that! Don't you understand how much it hurts right now? How am I going to live with this pain if you can't be there? I will die from this pain and unhappiness.

Lovino's gaze softened as his voice grew gentler, "It's easy, Antonio. You just let my hand slip out." Lovino gently tugged his hand free as his eyes shyed away from Antonio's piercing, forlorn green, "Likes this. See you won't die."

Antonio would have begged to differ as his empty hands groped the air in front of him in a desperate attempt to grasp Lovino's warm hand again. His whole body shaking, Antonio cried out like a wounded beast as his hands failed to find purchase and Lovino eluded his grasp. He was helpless to stop Lovino's beautiful eyes from suddenly disappearing. And once those bright eyes faded out like a weak lightbulb, he realized that Lovino was gone. He was alone in the dark.

Lovino? " Antonio called out hesitantly as if still in disbelief. Nothing answered him back.

Trembling, Antonio collapsed to his knees and keeled like an abandoned dog. His cries intensified and grew to desperate wails and sobs as tears streamed down his cheeks with no Lovino to wipe them away. No Lovino to comfort him. There will never be Lovino by his side anymore.

And suddenly the darkness around him looked so much more bleak and Antonio felt a freezing hand choked his heart.

Antonio awoke with a start as his chest still ached from the nightmare. Disoriented, he touched his cheeks and found he was crying, the wet tear trails soft under his hands.

"Lovino? " He glanced over to see Lovino's side of the bed empty and cold. The aching pain returned. His voice rising with a trill of desperation, Antonio got to his feet, " Lovi? Where are you?"

The house remained quiet as a rooster crowed outside, signaling the sunrise.

Suddenly, quiet footfalls alerted Antonio to someone's presence and Antonio looked over to see Lovino coming downstairs from the attic, his clothes carrying a fine coat of dust. Sneezing, Lovino answered Antonio," I'm right here, Toni. Why are you up so early?"

Ignoring the question, Antonio launched himself at Lovino and tightly wrapped his strong arms around Lovino's form, squeezing him in delight. His voice cracked as relief flooded his veins," Oh god, Lovino. You're here. You're here."

Lovino, confused and being suffocated from the tight hug, roughly shoved Antonio off, but his voice was filled with concern rather than anger," Why wouldn't I be? Is something wrong, dumbass?"

Antonio shook his head and reached out, this time more gently, to hold Lovino in his arms. As he felt Lovino settle in his grasp, Antonio finally felt the chill that had been haunting him dissipate and his heart warmed again.

Lovino turned around in the embrace to face him, his searching hazel eyes soft with worry and love, "Are you sure you're okay, Toni?"

It always made Antonio's heart swell with pride every time he saw the love in Lovino's eyes. He took great pleasure in knowing only he could made Lovino's cold, disdainful glare soften. Of course, the same could be said for Feliciano but Antonio was certain that he didn't love Lovino nearly as much as Antonio did.

Antonio smiled and leaned down as he brought Lovino's head up for a fiery kiss. Their lips meet and moved roughly against one another as Lovino with a muffled cry opened his mouth to let Antonio's tongue invade his warmth. His tongue wrestled wetly with Lovino's as they fought for dominance, the wet muscles moving, sliding back and forth between their locked lips as Lovino groaned in pleasure. Antonio won this round as Lovino consented and allowed Antonio to explore the cavern he knew so well from their many other kisses.

Lovino was first to pull away, a flushed look rising on his cheeks as he glared up at Antonio, "What the hell was that for, bastard? Did I say you could kiss me, Mr. morning breath?"

Antonio chuckled as he licked his lips, still savoring the taste of Lovino's mouth, mint from his toothpaste mixed with a sweetness that was solely Lovino's. " Does boss get a kiss later, then?"

Lovino smirked as his eyes twinkled in rare amusement, "No, you've used up all your kisses for today."

"Then, I guess I must steal some from you, you stingy italian."

"I'd like to see you try, asshole."
