-The Next Day-

Feliciano and Lovino were walking together to school. Feliciano looked scared.

"Veh...Brother? You don't have to walk with me..." Feliciano hesitantly said.

"Oh no? But then who's going to stop those potato bastards from hanging around with my little Feliciano?" Lovino said with a menacing tone. Feliciano recoiled and remained silent until they got to school.

...

Once they got to school, Lovino walked Feliciano to his first class, carefully eyeballing all the other students walking past them.

"Lovino...I'm fine going to class on my own..." Feliciano whined. Lovino glared at him.

"You'd be better off without those Germans."

Feliciano frowned. "But me and Gilbert have a project in art class..."

"...Is it a partner project?"

Feliciano winced. "No..."

"Then there's no need for you to see him!" Lovino pushed Feliciano into his classroom, then darted off towards his own.

'Big Brother...' Feliciano frowned, but sat down.

...

It was break, and Feliciano walked out to the courtyard. He had his lunchbag containing a bottle of Italian soda and a container of pasta in one hand, and his back pack in the other. He began looking for a place to sit.

'Veh...I don't know very many people...and Lovino wouldn't be happy if I were to hang out with him throughout high school...' Feliciano whimpered. '...Hmm?...' He looked towards the big tree growing in the middle of the courtyard and saw someone familiar sitting underneath it. He appeared to be sleeping, so Feliciano decided to sit next to him.

'It's Gilbert's little brother...' Feliciano began poking the blonde's cheek. "Hey...Ludwig!"

Ludwig's eyes jolted open, and he looked in Feliciano's direction. He looked surprised.

"Uh..." Ludwig had a faint blush on his face, since Feliciano's face was too close for comfort.

"Did I wake you?" Feliciano asked. "I wanted to know if it was okay for me to sit with you?"

Ludwig pushed his bed-hair back out of his face. "...Sure..."

Feliciano's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his already happy expression. He pulled out his pasta and began to eat. "Are you enjoying school, Ludwig?"

"I'm getting by...I have some of the highest grades in my classes." Ludwig stated.

"That's great!" Feliciano smiled innocently. Ludwig blushed slightly.

"Hey, I have an idea!" Feliciano stated. "Why don't we do something together once class gets out? I feel bad how my brother acted yesterday. We can invite your brother too, what do you say?"

Ludwig began thinking. "I...I don't see why not...but won't your brother...?"

"Don't worry about Lovino, he's hanging out with Antonio today. Lovino might not act like it, but I can tell that he likes Antonio very much!" Feliciano smiled.

"I see..." Ludwig looked at Feliciano with disbelief. 'I never would have pegged his brother to be gay...wait...isn't he Catholic?' Ludwig shoved that thought at the back of his mind. "...And what's your preference...Feliciano?"

"...?" Feliciano looked confused.

Ludwig blushed again. "What I mean is...do you like guys like your brother?"

Feliciano began to think. "I think so...I mean..." His face saddened. "When I was little, there was a boy who lived next door to me...and I loved him very much...and he loved me too. So, I guess I do like guys..." He turned to Ludwig. "What about you?"

Ludwig looked at him. "Haven't really thought about it...I've never fallen in love with anyone, or even had very much friends, so I wouldn't know how to react to such a thing. It's all new to me..."

"Really? Well...would you like to go out with me sometime? I could teach you...?" Feliciano blushed, smiling.

Ludwig looked at him, as if he didn't hear him correctly. "Whaaa?"

"It's painful not having friends...or someone who doesn't love you...I want Ludwig to have friends, Veh~!" Feliciano told him.

"...Feliciano..." Ludwig smiled. "Sure...heh...friends...I like the sound of that..."

Feliciano looked excited.

*Ring Ring*

The bell rang to go to class.

"I have to go to my Art Class now...but let's meet outside the school, kay?" Feliciano asked.

Ludwig nodded. "Alright..."

Feliciano smiled, and ran to his next class. Ludwig looked in his direction, then looked at the ground smiling. 'Friends...'

...

When Feliciano walked into the Art Classroom, Gilbert was sleeping at his desk. Feliciano walked up to his own desk and sat down. He looked over at Gilbert.

'...Gilbert and Ludwig are very tired today...are all Germans this tired? What do they do every day to get them so worn out?' Feliciano shrugged.

"Alright class, time to turn in your homework assignments...hey, Beilschmidt! Wake up!" The teacher yelled.

Feliciano poked Gilbert's shoulder. "Hey...Gilbert...wake up...!"

Gilbert opened his eyes slightly, looking very tired. "I'm up...I'm up..."

"Glad you can join us, Mr. Beilschmidt." The teacher looked like he just popped a blood vessel. "As I was saying, everyone turn in your homework. I have another assignment for you."

Feliciano began looking through his backpack, but couldn't find his painting anywhere. "Oh no! Where did I put my artwork?"

Gilbert then nudged him. "Are you looking for this?" He handed Feliciano the picture he drew of 'Gilbird'. "You left it at my house...when your brother dragged you out!" He snickered.

"Oh? Grazie, Gilbert!" Feliciano got up and handed the teacher his assignment. Gilbert followed shortly after, handing in his drawing of Feliciano.

"Good, everyone's assignments are in." The teacher said. "For your next assignment, you are to draw two different pieces of artwork. Something or someone that inspires you to do your best, and since it's almost Valentine's Day...how about someone that you really admire. For the Valentine's Day one, I expect an oral report as to why you admire said person. They will both be due at the end of this week."

*Ring Ring*

"Class dismissed." The teacher said. And everyone left the classroom.

"Hey, Feliciano-chan!" Gilbert snickered. "Who are you going to draw for your assignments?"

"It's a secret, veh~!" Feliciano smiled. "Who are you going to draw, Gilbert?"

Gilbert's smile widened. "I'm going to draw myself for both artworks, of course! There's no one else that inspires me and no one else that I admire other than myself, kesesese!"

Feliciano frowned. "Are you sure? But won't you be all alone if all you care about is yourself?"

Gilbert looked at him. "I'm fine with being alone, that's how awesome I am!"

Feliciano didn't look convinced. "Oh...that's right! Would you like to go somewhere with me and your brother after school?"

Gilbert looked surprised. "Wha? You and West were going to do something together?"

Feliciano nodded. "You can come along with us! It'll be fun!"

"Oh? Alright then! That'd be awesome!" Gilbert smiled.

Feliciano smiled. "I'm so happy! I'll meet you outside of the school, kay?"

Gilbert snickered. "Alright, it's a date then!" Gilbert winked.

Feliciano smiled again. "Veh~!" He didn't know it, but his hair curl formed the shape of a heart at Gilbert's statement. He then ran off to get to his next class.

Meanwhile, while Gilbert was walking to his own class...

'I meant that statement to sound like a joke...but then why do I feel warm all of a sudden? The heat is rushing to my face.' Gilbert wondered. '...Of course it's not a real date! I mean...West will be with us, too!'

...

Gilbert paused for a moment. '...But if it's not a real date...then what are these weird feelings I have inside me right now...? I just don't get...'

Gilbert then walked into his classroom, anxiously waiting for the bell to ring so he could meet up with Feliciano...


Well...how was it?

Sorry that this chapter is shorter than the last one. It's just that I wanted to make their outing a longer chapter, and wanted all of the outing in one chapter instead of breaking it up into smaller chapters.
Expect some more character appearances next chapter. Is IS almost Valentine's Day in my fic, after all 3
I love Ger/Ita/Pru! But I love PruIta much more xD

Luckily, I kind of have some ideas for the next chapter, so hopefully it will take me out of my writer's block. Now if only I could think of some ideas for my other fanfic... T_T

Thank you so much for those who are reading and reviewing, it means a lot to me!

PS: I don't know the Nordic countries very well, so can anyone give me a brief summary of Denmark, Norway, and Iceland's personalities? More to the point, how Norway and Denmark act around each other, as well as Iceland? I think I understand Sweden and Finland well enough, but other than fanpics to go off of, I can't get a grasp on the others very well. I'm asking cause I might put some of them in my next chapter (emphasis on the 'might').
