Chapter Five: The Denial Fades
"Are you feeling any better?" Lovino asks a very annoyed and bedridden Antonio. "Yes, no thanks to you." The teen glares at him. "Vaffanculo! I never asked you to get my sickness! I just wanted to sleep in my bed! YOU'RE the one who fucking spooned me the every night!" Antonio blushes a little, the action going unnoticed due to his flushed face. "I didn't hear you complaining." Lovino blushes and looks away. "That's because…I was sick."
They both fall into an awkward silence for a few minutes as Lovino gets some medicine ready for Antonio to take. "Gil is doing better, right?" Antonio finally asks and Lovino nods. "Yeah, Matthew is taking good care of him. Ludwig, too." The captain looks over to Lovino curiously. "He gets two people helping him…and I only have one?" Lovino rolls his eyes and moves closer to give him his medicine. "I thought you didn't want more people getting sick. Also, we are getting closer to land so everyone else is preparing for that."
Antonio shoots up in the bed, making Lovino jump back a little. "WE ARE WHAT?" "C-calm down, damnit! It's fine, Francis and Ludwig have it under control." Lovino says as he gives Antonio his medicine. "Damn, I can't dock while I'm sick. Go tell Francis we must-!" "NO. Besides, we won't land for a few more days and you two are already pretty much healed. So shut up, go to sleep, and let everyone else take care of it." The teen commands, pushing Antonio back onto the bed. "Ugh, you're so not cute right now. It was misleading when we first met." Antonio mumbles and Lovino rolls his eyes. "Whatever. I don't care what you think." "Don't lie to yourself, Lovi~!" The Spaniard teases as Lovino leaves, slamming the door shut.
A few days later:
Antonio walks out on deck and takes a deep breath. "Ahhh, I missed the fresh air~!" He smiles at Lovino, who is sweeping. "Look Lovi~! I'm all better~!" Lovino rolls his eyes. "Great, now you can go back to being an idiot." Antonio sighs sadly. "I'm sorry, Lovi. I cannot. I have business to tend to at this place and I must be the scary intimidating Pirate Antonio Fernandez." Lovino rolls his eyes. "Show off." Antonio wraps an arm around his shoulders. "Does it impress Lovi to see me being all badass~?" Lovino blushes. "N-no! Why would that impress me? You're even more annoying when you do that." Antonio smiles down at him. "How so, Lovi?"
Lovino groans and slips out from under his arm. "Go ask someone else. I'm busy." "But I want to spend time with you~!" Antonio coos and Lovino rolls his eyes. "You've been cooped up in our room with me for a week! Shouldn't you be tired of me already?" Lovino asks and they both fall into an awkward silence. "…I should…shouldn't I...?" Antonio mumbles and Lovino nods silently. "Maybe…I'll go see Francis…" The man says and Lovino nods again as he leaves.
"Hey Lovino! Finally free of Antonio, huh?" Matthew asks and Lovino nods. "Finally…he's so annoying." "Well, I guess everyone gets annoying after a while…" The blond says and Lovino nods. "Bet Gilbert got annoying." Matthew laughs a little. "Not at all. He's always just so sweet and kind and gentle…" Lovino scoffs. "Maybe with you. Of course that goes without saying, since he loves you." Matthew blushes. "H-he does not!" Lovino looks at him annoyed. "You mean you two spent all this time together, alone, and you NEVER confessed?"
Matthew laughs. "I could say the same to you." Lovino blushes. "I-I DON'T LOVE ANTONIO, DAMNIT!" He screams, gaining the attention of everyone else on the deck. "I-I hate you…" Lovino mumbles, trying to shrink behind the blond. "The lady doth protest too much." Matthew teases and Lovino growls. "Compare me to a woman or hint at me loving Antonio again and I might have to kill you."
"What is this about you loving Antonio~?" Francis asks and Lovino glares. "Nothing. I don't." "Whatever you say, mon Ami~!" Lovino twitches. "FUCK. OFF." "Aaahh~! Mon Ami! I would much rather-!" Francis stops himself when Antonio comes up. "What are you guys doing?" Antonio asks happily and Francis smiles at him. "Funny you should ask! We were just talking to Lovino about his-!" Lovino runs over to them and quickly covers Francis' mouth with his hand. "NOTHING! About…my…nothing…"
Antonio looks at them confused before grabbing Francis' shoulder. "I have to take him, so if you'd let go…" Lovino backs up and Antonio drags Francis off. "What are they doing…?" Matthew asks and Lovino frowns. "Probably something to do with when we land. Apparently they have business plans when we land." The Italian mumbles and Matthew gasps. "B-business plans? Are they gonna kill someone?" He asks in a hushed tone and Lovino rolls his eyes. "I keep forgetting you're new to this pirate thing." Matthew laughs a little. "I definitely am."
Lovino frowns and pats him on the shoulder. "I'd say I'll protect you if you need it…but I'm pretty sure Gilbert will beat me to it every time." Matthew blushes. "H-he doesn't like me!"
"Who doesn't like who?" Gilbert asks on his way to Antonio and Francis. "Oh, we were just talking about how Matthew here doesn't think-!" Lovino gets practically pulled to the floor as Matthew covers his mouth. "I-it doesn't matter! You have a meeting to get to!" Gilbert laughs. "Right! The awesome me can't be late!" He heads off and Mathew glares at Lovino. "I think I might hurt you, Lovino." Lovino smirks. "Ohoh! Angry Matthew is fun!" Matthew rolls his eyes and flips him off.
"So…um…what exactly was it like with a group of female pirates?" The blond asks, blushing a little. "It was hell." Lovino says bitterly and Matthew looks at him confused. "How so?" "Elizaveta was pretty cool, she was like a mother I guess, but all of them were either cross dressing me or using me for all the manual labor. And Natalya, that bitch is evil. Pretty violent, too. I've been counting the years til I was free of her." The Italian sighs and Matthew smiles. "So you must really like Antonio, huh? He's so nice!" Matthew coos and Lovino frowns.
"He's not always nice…"
Later that day:
Antonio passes out wine to everyone and Lovino quickly moves as far away from Francis as possible. "Let us have some fun before we get to business!" Antonio hollers and the rest of them cheer. "AY AY CAPTAIN!" Lovino and Matthew sigh as everyone else gets drunk, including Feliciano. "I should really stop him…" The older Italian mumble and Matthew laughs. "He'll be fine! He's drank before!" Lovino frowns. "I know, I've seen it. That's why I want to stop it."
Feliciano runs over to his brother and tackles him. "FRATELLO!" "GAH!" Lovino screams as he falls over with Feliciano clinging to him. "G-get off, damnit!" "Frrrraaaateeeelllooooo! We haven't talked to each other in sooo looonnnng!" Feliciano cries and Lovino twitches. "We talk everyday you dumbass!" "Noooo before that! When you left! I missed fratello so much! I loovvveee yyooouuuu fraateeellloooo!" The smaller boy cries as he rubs his cheek up against Lovino's.
"Ah…I see it now…" Matthew says calmly as Lovino struggles to get Feliciano off of him. "Fusosososo! So cute!" Antonio coos and Lovino flips him off. "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET HIM OFF OF ME YOU DRUNK BASTARDS!" Lovino yells and Antonio just laughs at him. "Hey, Mattie, come with me." Gilbert says, taking the boy's hand and leading him away from everyone else. "Hm? What is it?" Matthew asks and Gilbert blushes, taking a long swig from his cup. "U-um…well…you see…I noticed something while I was sick…but wanted to wait til I was better to talk to you about it." Gilbert explains awkwardly and Matthew looks at him curiously. "Wh-what is it…?"
The Prussian takes a deep breath. "O-ok…so…um…I'm pretty sure…while you were taking care of me and vice versa…I noticed…something…a-about your…f-feelings…?" Matthew blushes. "O-oh…? What would that be…?" He asks nervously and Gilbert gulps nervously. "D-do you…love me?" Matthew gasps and covers his face in embarrassment. "I-I do…" Gilbert's face lights up and he moves the boy's hands away from his face. "I love you, too."
Matthew blushes and smiles shyly at the man. "S-so will you…kiss me?" Gilbert grins and wraps his arms around the boy's waist. "I can do more than that." Matthew goes even redder as Gilbert pulls him into a passionate kiss. The blond lets out a small gasp as Gilbert picks him up. "Wh-what are you doing?" He asks nervously and Gilbert grins at him. "The awesome me is going to claim your vital regions." Matthew lets out a small squeak. "M-my what? Wh-who calls it that?" "Your love calls it that, Mattie." Gilbert points out, carrying him into their room.
"Wh-who even says I'm ready for that?" Matthew cries and Gilbert freezes in front of their bed. "You're…not ready, huh?" He sighs sadly. "I should have seen that coming. I'm sorry, Mattie." Gilbert sets the boy on the bed. "U-um…could you…kiss me…some more?" Matthew asks shyly and Gilbert smirks. "Of course I can." He crawls onto the bed with Matthew and slowly begins kissing him.
Matthew lets out a small moan and wraps his arms around Gilbert's neck, pulling the man on top of him. "Mmm…Mattie…we should stop or I might…" The blond silences him by pulling him back into a passionate kiss. Gilbert smirks into the kiss and experimentally runs his hand under Matthew's shirt, rubbing the boy's stomach. Matthew moans louder against their kiss and Gilbert moves down to suck on his neck. "Mattie…I won't be able to stop myself soon…" Gilbert mumbles against his neck and Matthew looks at him slightly flushed.
"Th-then…don't…" Matthew mumbles and Gilbert smirks, pulling him back into a heated kiss as he works on the boy's clothes.
On the deck:
"FRRRRAAAATEEELLLOOOOO~!" Feliciano cries and Lovino groans. "GET! OFF! AND STOP YELLING IN MY EAR!" Ludwig frowns. "I should get Feliciano…" Antonio shakes his head, still laughing. "No, no, leave them be. Brothers should bond." "GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET !" Lovino screams at Feliciano cries. "I DON'T WANT TO!" The older Italian groans and looks over to Antonio, pouting. "Captain~! Get him off~! Plleeeaaasssse!" He begs and Antonio blushes a little. "D-damn…ugh…fine, Ludwig go pry your boyfriend off of his brother."
Ludwig smiles knowingly at the man before walking over and getting Feliciano. "VEE~! LUDDY~! TI AMO~!" He coos, wrapping his arms around Ludwig's neck and pulling him into a kiss. "WHAT THE FUCK? THAT'S-!" Lovino gets cut off by Feliciano, who is ignoring him. "Let's go to bed, Luddy~! I'm tired!" Ludwig blushes and nods, picking the boy up and carrying him to their room. "YOU BETTER GO STRAIGHT TO BED, DAMNIT!" Lovino warns, fuming.
"Come sit with us, Lovino~!" Francis coos and Lovino groans. "Whatever." He sits down next to one of the other crew members, who grins at him. "You lived with women before this, right?" The man asks and Lovino groans. "Yes, and no I didn't sleep with any of them. And NO I did NOT want to." He says bitterly and the man frowns. "Oh…too bad. Wait…so…does that mean you like guys?" Lovino raises a brow at him. "How the fuck is it any of your business?"
The man smirks and goes to wrap an arm around Lovino's shoulders when Antonio quickly shoots up out of his seat and scoops Lovino up into his arms. "WHA-?" "Go to bed." Antonio commands, setting the boy back down. "WHY-?" "GO. TO. BED." The Spaniard says and Lovino glares at him before stomping off to their room. As soon as he's gone Antonio looks at the other man darkly. "I know you're drunk, so I'll let it slide tonight. But, and this goes for all of you, if ANYONE touches Lovino with any sort of intentions will be thrown in the brig for a day. If you do it again, I will punish you myself." He warns and the men look at him annoyed.
"What the hell captain? You said you don't love, nor lust, after anyone right? So why the hell are you so possessive of this kid?" The man yells and Antonio glares at him. "Because I like him and don't want him to lose his virginity to some damned drunken pirate! Just because they're horny!" He yells before turning and heading to his room. "Ah, Antonio you can be so aggravatingly stupid." Francis sighs.
Antonio and Lovino's room:
Antonio gets into their room and sees Lovino taking off his pants. "Oh! Sorry Lovi!" He gasps and Lovino looks over at him, blushing. "B-bastard! Stop staring!" Antonio nods, looking away frantically. "R-right! Lo siento, Lovi!" Lovino groans and finishes getting dressed. "Alright, I'm dressed." Antonio peaks over at him before sighing. "Good, so…I guess we can go back to not spooning or whatever anymore…huh?" Antonio asks and Lovino blushes. "Y-yeah…we can stay on our own sides of the bed…since no one is sick and clingy now…"
They both clear their throats awkwardly and climb into bed, facing away from one another. "B-buenas noches, Lovi." "Y-yeah…" Antonio turns off the lantern and the two lay there in silence for a few minutes. "…It's cold." Lovino mumbles from under his blanket. "I-it is…" Antonio mumbles back and turns toward the teen. "We don't have any more blankets…" Lovino blushes. "Th-then…we don't really have a choice but to…" Antonio quickly wraps his arms around the boy from behind and buries his face in his hair. "Buenas noches, Lovi." Lovino blushes deeply. "B-buona notte…A-Antonio…"
They quickly fall asleep, as both of their denials quickly were fading.
A/N: Ah, one step closer. XD And yay, land! I'm getting tired of writing them on the ship...lD Which is stupid, because it's a pirate story. OF COURSE they will be on a ship. I just remembered I only have this as T...and it's going to end up M...I should change that...later...because I have other stuff to do right now. XD
