Just so you are aware! This chapter is an intermission showing the events that took place between Chapter 2.

With his return, Feliciano was glued to Ludwig by the hip or in this case his arm, hugging onto his arm and talking about his day as if he would not have the opportunity to speak of it tomorrow. They walked down the streets headed towards the new coffee shop in town that Feliciano have nearly talked his ear off about.

Joining them was only his older brother, Gilbert, since Lovino had rejected their invite. The man was incredibly childish in Ludwig's eyes and being glared at and indirectly insulted all night was not how he wanted to spend his first day back.

" Luddy! Luddy!" Feliciano would say repeatedly until he would turn his head to acknowledge that he heard him.

" I swear to you Toni makes the best coffee," Feliciano motioned his arms out wide, letting Ludwig's arm free for a moment. " One sip and you'll be in heaven!" he guaranteed.

" Beep beep, losers!" Ludwig didn't even have to think to know who that voice belonged to. He turned his head to spy Gilbert cruising by the street in a silver Toyota, waving out to them. " You, lovebirds walking? " he laughed and hit the side of his car barely keeping himself aligned in the street.

" Gilbert! Keep your eyes on the road!" A voice warned him from inside the car.

" I'm an experienced driver, okay? I got th-" he jumped when a car, unfortunate enough to wind up behind him started to unleash the full fury of its horn. He scowled and looked back to the un-amused Ludwig and the weak smile of Feliciano.

" I'll see you up there." he said before zooming off laughing outside his window.

How long it took for Gilbert to embarrass him? No time at all.

" I'm sorry about that Feliciano." He apologized, Feliciano just giggled and waved dismissively. " Don't worry about it, huh? We have to beat him there!" he latched onto Ludwig's arm once again and they continued their walk.

" Buena Tarde!"

"Buonasera!"

Antonio and Feliciano greeted to each other before laughing and high fiving.

Ludwig raised an eyebrow to the scene. You'd think they've been friends for years, but Ludwig doubted it; Feliciano was truly this friendly to any stranger that came his way.

" What took you girls so long?" Gilbert shouted to them from the table he rested at with a new face across from him sipping on a glass of wine. Ludwig recognized his face anywhere, Francis Bonnefoi, high school friends with Gilbert now wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. It was unfortunate that he ended up in a Toyota with Gilbert behind the wheel, but friendship made people do crazy things, didn't it?

"Antonio put a hand on his hip, giving Gilbert a look of disapproval. " Be nice, Gilgil." He said wagging his finger.

" Don't call me that!" he snapped.

" Oui, Gilgil. Wouldn't want to get into anymore trouble would we?" Francis said, waving a pink ticket in the air, clearly given by an officer.

How long did it take for Gilbert to shame him? No time at all.

Gilbert just slumped in his chair, dodging the look Ludwig made sure to give him at that moment.

" Francis! Long time no see!" Feliciano greeted the blond who gave him an award-winning smile.

" Ah, Feliciano~" he immediately rose from his seat and opened his arms earning a hug from the Italian. " I've missed you so! Has this big potato been treating you right?"

" Mhm! I know I've certainly have!"

They both erupted into laughter, Ludwig slapping his cheek to avoid the blush that threatened to appear.

Antonio smiled at the both of them, slightly tilting his head. " You know them, Feliciano?" He asked.

" Mhm. They were the bridesmaids at," he latched onto Ludwig's arm again. " Our wedding!"

" Ring bearer and Bridesmaid!" Francis corrected.

" Oh right-" Feliciano nuzzled Ludwig's arms. " Ring bearer and bridesmaid." He said in a singsong voice, Ludwig blushing up a storm.

Antonio pouted at Francis. " Why didn't you tell me you had such cute friends?" he put his hands on his hips clearly.

Francis smiled weakly at him. " During the time, you weren't really," he paused.

"Around, remember?"

Antonio smiled again. " Oh. Right."

" Are we going to sit here and talk about how we all know each other or are we going to get some coffee, Toni?" Gilbert finally said, tapping his foot on the floor in irritation.

" Oh, sorry, Gilgil. Why don't you all take a seat? I'll make you all something special!"

Francis was quick to rise from his seat. " I'll help you."

" You're just going to be a big show off."

" Toni. Me? A show off? You hurt me." He put a hand over his heart and gave him a puppy eyed stare.

After a couple of seconds they walked off into the kitchen together.

" You make the coffee. I make the snacks!"

" Can you make a crepe, Francis?"

" A crepe for dinner? Really?"

The door swung shut behind them.

Feliciano and Ludwig took a seat on the opposite side of Gilbert, Feliciano just looking at Ludwig who was glaring at Gilbert.

Silence.

" So, you guys all sweaty from having to walk up here?"

" How much do you have to pay for that ticket?"

Gilbert jolted and looked far to the right.

" Heeeeeey! Toni! Fran! I wanna help too!" he hopped to his feet and rushed off to the kitchen, nearly knocking a chair over as he left.

" Should it be bubbling like that?"

" I am a chef, Toni - Gilbert?"

The door swung shut again.

" He ran away?" Feliciano tilted his head slightly.

" I'll get him for that later." Ludwig turned his attention to Feliciano.

" So, is the coffee here really that incredible?"

" Yes!" Feliciano answered nodding twice. " You'll love it!"

Ludwig smirked and closed his eyes. " I'll take your word for it."

A kiss was pressed to his cheek and his eyes snapped open to see Feliciano giving him a cheeky grin. Ludwig looked to his fingers before turning to Feliciano and returning the gesture. Being dramatic, Feliciano fell straight out of his seat with a delighted squeal.

It was good to be back.

The trio returned about an hour later, painted white with flour. A happy Antonio, an irritated Francis and Gilbert who had a pair of wooden spoons tied to his ears.

" What the hell."

Was all that Ludwig could think to say.

On a bright side, they had completed their meal, which consisted of the requested coffee and crepes that seemed to be stylized to look like pizza.

Feliciano was delighted with the outcome and was more then eager to take a shot of the coffee provided. He hummed his approval, motioning for Ludwig to do the same. Was it wise to drink coffee this late? They would be up all night- Oh.

He took a shot of the coffee and raised his eyebrows; it was delicious.

" So~?"

" It's really good."

Feliciano gave an overenthusiastic thumbs up to the powder cover Antonio.

All five of them took a seat around a table and started to dig in.

" So, want to tell us why you're covered in flour?" Ludwig finally decided to ask.

Antonio and Gilbert immediately started to chuckle as they pulled in chairs from other tables to join in, Francis starting to try to pat the flour off as he sat.

" Toni and Gil thought it would be funny to start tossing the flour around." He said with a deep frown.

" Gil started it!" Antonio said as he sat in his chosen chair.

" You're the one who dropped the bag!" Gilbert said, leaning his arms on the back of his chair rather then sit in it.

Ludwig rubbed his forehead. " You are a couple of 3 year olds. "

Feliciano, still drinking his coffee, just giggled into his cup.

They all ate and talked amongst themselves, catching up on old times.

Ludwig was surprised that he had never really seen Antonio, according to the trio they were together since grade school, but he had never heard of or met Antonio until now.

" I remember when you got Antonio to ring the fire alarm. Lucky, for you the authorities acknowledge his cluelessness."

" They said I was a hero! Apparently there was an actual fire in the school!" Antonio said proudly, Francis just rolling his eyes with a smile.

" Antonio?" Ludwig said.

" Hm?" He answered with a tilt of his head.

" It may just be memory. But, I don't recall ever seeing you until now. " He paused for second to take another drink of coffee.

"Did you transfer out at some point or?"

Antonio's gaze reverted to his own coffee cup.

" Yeah, he transferred." Gilbert suddenly said.

" All the way to Spain." Francis contributed.

" He was only around for freshman year, so, yeah." They both looked to Antonio who just smiled and took a drink from his coffee cup. " Yup!"

Ludwig found that suspicious, but Feliciano was eager to acknowledge their words.

" Aw, I wish you were around for our wedding! You could have been my bridesmaid and wedding planner!" he beamed at Antonio who chuckled in return. " If you guys have any more parties just invite me, okay?"

" I promise!" Feliciano put down his cup and saluted.

" Can I have seconds?"

The food was nearly gone and the group was in full-blown conversation.

" How can tomatoes be poisonous? They're so good!" Antonio groaned.

" Everything that tastes awesome turns out to not be so awesome for you I guess." Gilbert said with a shrug.

" Oh! Feliciano?" Francis said tuning out the other twos conversation.

" Yes?"

" How's that little hot-head of a brother you have doing?"

That brought silence from Gilbert and Antonio.

Ludwig continued to observe.

" Oh, well I invited him to come with us tonight. But, he said he was sleepy so I left him to sleep."

" Sure it is late, but he couldn't make time to visit? Shame."

Antonio stirred a spoon in the remains of his coffee.

" Well, he's just been grumpy since I've pulled him around town for weeks. But, he did like coming here! I'll make sure to call much earlier. Then he'll definitely come!"

Antonio smiled at Feliciano. " He's a chef, right?"

" He works at Grandpa's pizza place- Well he co-owns and works for it."

" Romulus' right?"

" Si!"

" It sucks working with him. He doesn't ever talk to me! Unawesome with a capital A." Gilbert said, resting a hand on his cheek.

Antonio puckered his lips.

" Does he have a girlfriend?"

" No."

" A boyfriend?"

" No." Feliciano giggled. " He's been single for a long time."

Francis and Gilbert looked to Antonio, wide grins on their faces.

" Why do ya ask, Tony?"

" Just curious."

" Really?"

" Yes, Yes~ don't interrogate me you guys!" he giggled.

Feliciano smiled at Antonio. " I know he's a big Meany sometimes, but he has a good heart! It just takes him awhile to show it!" he closed his eyes. " Someone who will love him no matter how much of a bully he can be. Someone who he can trust. That's exactly what he needs." He looked at Antonio again.

Ludwig smiled at Feliciano, putting a hand on his shoulder.

He automatically clinged to his arm again much to Ludwig's surprise.

" Luddy!" he cheered happily, leaving Ludwig smiling and the group laughing.

" Goodbye, Antonio! See you tomorrow!"

" Good bye, Feliciano! Thanks for coming!"

They waved goodbye to each other, Gilbert and Francis giving Antonio a hug and high fives.

" I'll return tomorrow, oui?"

" Yes, please do!"

" I'll check my schedule. But I'll definitely see you again, alright?"

" Okay, Gilgil."

" I said don't call me that, dammit!"

" Whatever you say, Gilgil." Francis chimed in.

" You guys are so unawesome!"

The trio laughed and hugged again before Gilbert and Francis got back into the Toyota and cruised away, Francis shouting that Gilbert was going the wrong way.

Antonio stood outside watching them go, Ludwig tapping him on the shoulder with Feliciano.

" Here," Feliciano put a piece of paper into his hand and smiled.

" Good luck, okay?"

Antonio was wordless, watching Feliciano wave his goodbyes as he and Ludwig walked off. He looked into his hand to see a written address.

It looks like he was given a chance.

He smiled as he watched the couple walk off placing his hands over his heart and re-entering the restaurant.

Later that night, Antonio was faced with quite the surprise.

"Oh, Hello Lovi-" Antonio began before Lovino cut him off quickly.

" No. We are not on a first name basis. I am your customer. Call me Mr. Vargas." Lovino said adjusting the collar of his dress shirt and crossing his arms. Antonio just starred at him, his smile dropping slightly before it came back brighter then ever.

"Of course! I'm sorry. Buenos noches, Mr. Vargas."

The blush that crossed Lovino's cheeks brought on a smile he could not control.

I won't let you down, Feliciano!
