Chapter Seven: Lost Boys
Lovino goes running into the bar and grabs Arthur. "Wh-where is he?" Arthur pouts at him, now wasted. "Hhmmmm? Why is it that no one cares unless they want something?" He asks sadly and Lovino twitches. "You aren't making any sense! Just tell me where Marcello is!" "Ah…Marcello is in a nearby hotel with Peter. I gave the address to your brother." Arthur says and Lovino runs over to his brother, grabbing his hand. "WE'RE GOING!" "Veeee~!" Feliciano cries as he's dragged away.
Marcello and Peter:
Feliciano and Lovino arrive at a small house and knock on the door. It opens and a beautiful woman with short blond hair answers, smiling at them. "Hello, you must be Lovino and Feliciano. The boys are asleep right now, feel free to wake him up." They both stare at her for a minute before nodding and heading to the bedroom. When they enter they find Marcello asleep in a small bed next to another bed with a blond boy.
"MAARRRCCCEEEEELLLLLOOOOOOO~!" Feliciano coos and jumps into the bed, pulling the boy into his arms. "Hmm…?" Marcello groans and stretches in his arms. "What's going…?" He trails off as his eyes fall on Lovino. "F-fratello…?" Lovino nods and points to Feliciano. "Me and Feliciano have been looking for you." Marcello looks away guiltily. "I see…wait! How are you two together? You were with a bunch of women and Feliciano was heading to a ship with some German guy he had a crush on." He looks at Feliciano curiously. "How is that going by the way?" Feliciano smiles and goes to answer before getting cut off by an annoyed Lovino.
"That doesn't matter right now! Why the hell did you leave?" He asks annoyed and Marcello's gaze travels to the sleeping blond in the bed next to him. "I...found something that makes me happy." Lovino rolls his eyes. "Oh please, he's just a person. You left the safety of your home for a boy?" Marcello looks at him annoyed. "Yes I did, and why wouldn't I? Feliciano did too. You're the only one with an abhorrence to the idea." Lovino looks away. "I don't…abhor it…exactly…a-and that's not the point! You just got up one day, met a cute boy, and left? You could've been killed!"
Marcello rolls his eyes. "Peter was with Arthur and they were in our town for two weeks. I met him the first day and spent every day with him after that. Then I decided rather than being alone with our parents, why not go with Peter? Feliciano is the one who left with a man he only knew for a day." Feliciano covers Marcello's mouth. "M-Marcello! Quiet!" "YOU WHHHAAAAAT? I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL LUDWIG! KILL!" Lovino fumes and Feliciano looks at him nervously. "It wasn't Ludwig!"
Marcello sits up and looks at Lovino curiously. "You don't like Ludwig? He seemed nice enough…" Lovino crosses his arms and scowls. "Anyone on Antonio's crew, save me Feliciano, and Matthew, can't be trusted. Just a bunch of perverts…" Marcello looks at him confused. "Who is Antonio? The captain? How did you join the ship anyways?" Lovino blushes a little. "I...went aboard with Natalia's group and…Antonio…rescued me, I guess…" Marcello smiles. "Antonio sounds nice! Like Arthur!" Lovino twitches. "Nice my ass, he wanted to throw me overboard when I got sick!" Feliciano smiles at him. "Only because you wanted to cuddle with him and he's a hypochondriac~!"
Marcello smirks at Lovino, who goes bright red. "You wanted to cuddle with him, hm? Interesting…." Lovino glares at him. "I DID NOT. That's not the point anyways. You…are you happy here?" Marcello looks at him a little surprised. "Well…yeah…I have Peter and of course Joan is great, like a nice mother." Lovino frowns. "I see…" Marcello nods. "It's really nice...the only problem is some men in town are very mean to Joan…" Lovino sighs and sits on the bed with him. "I see…if you want…I could…stay and help out…" Marcello smiles at him. "If you want, fratello."
Lovino looks at him. "I've been looking for you for months now…to find you and leave you seems…wasteful." Feliciano frowns. "What about Antonio? And Matthew?" Lovino looks away annoyed. "Wh-what does Antonio have to do with anything? A-and Matthew has Gilbert and you…" Feliciano frowns. "Vee…ok…" Marcello looks at Lovino and smiles. "Ti voglio bene, fratello..." Lovino blushes and pats him on the head. "…But…you shouldn't leave your friends…" Marcello says and Lovino smiles. "I would choose my brother over anyone else any day, especially since it's been so long since we've seen each other."
"Well then…you two can stay the night if you like." The youngest brother offers and Feliciano grins. "Yay~!" "I'll sleep with Peter and you two can have my bed." He says and crawls into bed with the blond, who curls up to him in his sleep.
Next day:
Lovino wakes up with Feliciano draped over him. "Ugh…you're heavy…" "It's much nicer sleeping with me, isn't it Lovi?" Antonio teases from the corner of the room. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Lovino hisses, pushing Feliciano off of him and getting up. "I came to see when you were coming back~!" Antonio says and Lovino looks away guiltily. "I...well…Feliciano will be back today…"The Spaniard looks at him curiously. "A-and you…?" Lovino stares at the ground. "I'm…staying with Marcello here." Antonio looks at him blankly. "I see…well I guess I'll just see Feliciano later. G…goodbye."
Lovino frowns and clenches his jaw. "C-ciao…" Antonio nods and heads out before coming to a quick stop. Lovino doesn't notice as he's now trying to wipe tears out of his eyes. "M-merda…" He turns away from the door and wipes his eyes more as two arms wrap around his waist and pulls him into a hug. "A-Antonio? Let go of me!" Antonio tightens his grasp on Lovino's waist. "No, this is the last time I'll see you…so I'm going to hug you for as long as I want." Lovino's face goes bright red. "TH-THAT'S STUPID!" "I don't care what you think, Lovi." Antonio says into the teen's shoulder. "A-ah…? You should!"
"Ohonhonhon~! What is this~? Should we leave you two alone~?" Francis coos as him and the rest of the crew enter. "D-DAMNIT! DON'T JUST BARGE INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE! J-! J-! THE 'J' CHICK WON'T BE HAPPY!" Lovino hisses and Francis looks at him curiously. "J chick…?" The Italian nods. "I think it started with a J…maybe it was an M…or was it an N…?" Francis twitches. "YOU DON'T REMEMBER HER NAME?" "SHUT UP! I SUCK AT NAMES! A-AND I ONLY HEARD IT ONCE!" Lovino hisses, still in Antonio's arms.
"…Um…would you two care to share why Antonio is clinging to you…?" Matthew asks curiously and Lovino blushes. "W-well…I'm…I'm going to stay here…with Marcello…" The blond looks at him sadly. "B-but…you can't…" "I never really got to know Marcello when we were young, I was sold off too early. I want to…spend time with him. I'm sorry." Lovino says apologetically and Francis twitches. "Am I the ONLY one who wants to know who the woman is?" "Keep it in your pants Francis!" Antonio hisses and Francis goes to say something, instead opting for silence.
Lovino looks at Ludwig menacingly. "You…" Ludwig gulps nervously. "For some reason Feliciano loves you…so I'm leaving him in your care. Mess up and I WILL find out and WILL kill you." The German nods and the door suddenly flies open. "Lovino~! We have gues-?" Joan stops in her tracks and stares in shock at the men, the basket of apples she gathered falling to her feet. "Y…you guys…it's you…" Francis looks over at her wide eyed. "J-Joan…Joan is it really you…?"
"Ha! I knew it was a J! Wait a minute…she's Joan? THE Joan?" Lovino asks and Francis nods, walking over to her. "I thought you died…" He whispers, running a hand through her hair. "No, Arthur saved me and dropped me off here…I've been waiting for you all to come here…" She answers, leaning into his touch. "Mon dieu…Joan…" Francis mumbles before pulling her into a kiss.
Lovino twitches. "Wait…does this mean she's going with you guys…?" Joan looks over to him and smiles. "I am!" "I guess that gives us more reason to join the crew." Marcello says, standing in the bedroom doorway. Lovino and Antonio look at him curiously. "What do you mean 'more reason'?" They ask and Marcello smiles at them. "Well, after seeing you two acting all lovey dovey I couldn't have you stay here!" Lovino and Antonio blush, looking away. "W-WE WERE NOT LOVEY DOVEY!" The oldest brother hisses and Marcello smirks. "Suuurrrre."
Feliciano and Peter come out, wiping their eyes sleepily. "What's going on out here…?" They ask and Marcello smiles at them. "We are all going back to Antonio's ship." Feliciano's smile grows wider. "VEEE~! THAT'S GREAT~!" He exclaims, hugging Marcello. "Well, you should all stay one more night and then we can head out~! Ok?" Joan asks and the men nod. "So…what would you all like to eat for breakfast then?" She asks and Feliciano speaks up. "Churros~!"
Later that night:
Lovino heads out of the house and walks to the backyard, noticing Antonio standing underneath a tree. "Antonio…?" He mumbles and Antonio looks over to him and smiles. "Hey Lovi." The teen walks over and leans against the tree. "You must be happy…Francis said Joan was an amazing fighter…" "Oh she is, it's why I had her in my crew. I must admit though…I'm happier that…" He blushes and looks at the ground. "That you will be staying…" Lovino blushes as well and looks up at the moon. "Oh yeah? Well…I am too…" Antonio grins at him. "And now we get a cute younger version of you~! he seems nicer too~! Ooohhh! I wonder if he'll call me fratello~! Or hermano~!" Lovino twitches and glares at him. "LIKE HELL HE WILL! BACK OFF!"
Antonio smirks. "Ohhh! That reminds me~! Ludwig and Feliciano must be so happy now, since you gave them your blessing~!" Lovino pales. "I did not!" "Did too, Lovi~!" Antonio teases and Lovino shakes his head. "NO! NO I DIDN'T!" The Spaniard looks at him amused. "IS Lovi trying to tell me he's going back on his word~?" "I GAVE NO WORD! FUCK OFF!" Lovino yells and Antonio laughs. "Try explaining that to Feliciano and Ludwig~!" "Nooooo! You do it!" The Italian whines and Antonio backs him up against the tree. "Real men handle their own problems."
Lovino looks away embarrassed. "S-says the man who has had me take the rap for all the stupid things he's done since I joined…" Antonio moves in closer. "That's because all of those stupid things…were because of you…" Lovino looks at him nervously. "Th-that's still no way for a man to act…" "And what does the sixteen year old know of how a man should act…?" Antonio asks, his face now inches from Lovino's. "Th-they don't get in other people's faces for one!" "Then push me away." The Spaniard says before closing the gap and kissing Lovino.
He quickly pulls away and blushes. "S-sorry Lovi…!" "…P-pervert…" The teen mumbles, staring at the ground. "I-I didn't mean to! I just…! I'm not thinking straight…I need sleep. Good night…" Lovino nods silently as Antonio runs back inside. "D-damnit…stupid Antonio…"
