Lovino listened to his brother's breathing. He didn't get it. How could Feliciano sleep with everything that was going on? Lovino was afraid if he slept he would wake up in Roderich's home again. Besides, there was an argument going on that made it impossible to sleep. Lovino got out of bed to yell at the three noisemakers.

He stopped before the entrance to the kitchen. He listened to the three.

"Françis, if Yao Wang finds out who we are we're done for." Antonio's voice had ice to it. "We had run ins with that scumbag. He's smart. He'll have our heads."

"And many more people would too." Gilbert added.

"Mes amis, I've done business with Yao before. To him, he is just helping me and some of my friends."

"Did you see that smirk he had the entire time?" Gilbert crossed his arms.

"You know he is already suspicious. He is probably already looking into us." Antonio paced around the room.

"Mes amis, you have my word. I will not let anything happen to us." Françis locked eyes with both of his friends to make sure they knew he was serious about his promise. Movement caught the Frenchman's attention. "Mon petit chou, what are doing up? It's late."

Antonio and Gilbert looked at the kitchen entrance. Lovino had stepped out from where he was standing.

"Lovi, did we wake you?" Antonio felt bad for possibly waking Lovino. "How about we all go to bed. We can discuss this tomorrow."

And with that everyone went to their respective rooms.

Expect for Lovino. He followed the Spaniard's room. Antonio was pleased that Lovino wanted to be with him. "You want to sleep with me?"

"Your eyes."

"Uh, my eyes?" Antonio had no idea where Lovino was going with this. "What about my eyes?"

Lovino's eyes darted around the room. They wouldn't meet Antonio. "They're not shining like they do." The Italian muttered.

Antonio chuckled. He approached Lovino. He pulled the younger male against his body. "How about you put the shine back in my eyes?" Antonio whispered in Lovino's ear.

Lovino's face was bright red. He pushed Antonio away but the Spaniard was stronger and held him close.

"It wouldn't be our first time."

"What were you talking about in the kitchen?" The smaller male talked into Antonio's chest.

"It's best if you don't know."

Lovino pushed Antonio away. This time Antonio let go of him. "You know about me. I know nothing about you."

"In the morning."

"Now."

"Lovi."

"Tell me."

"You're not going to leave me alone until I tell you."

Lovino crossed his arms. He pressed his lips together.

Antonio sighed. He rubbed the back of his neck. He wasn't going to win this battle. "Sit." Antonio sat on the bed and Lovino followed.

Antonio looked at the floor as he spoke, "Franny, Gil, and I are the Bad Touch Trio. You may have heard Gil call us that before. Bad Touch Trio are criminals. We stole. Messed around. We even have spilled blood. Never in cold blood though." Antonio took a glance at Lovino. He was just watching. Antonio looked back to the floor. "We had a few close calls. We vowed we would not commit crimes anymore. To become honest men." Antonio paused to let Lovino soak everything in.

"The Austrian's goons."

Antonio shook his head. "They were alive. Injured. Most likely they have healed by now." He paused again. "As for Yao Wang, he is a powerful man. You name it he has control of it. He isn't one to mess with. But we did. We stole about a quarter to a billion dollars from him."

Lovino's eyes widen. His jaw dropped.

"A few years later we stole from him again. This time it wasn't money. It was his most prized possession, a solid jade dragon statue. And we still have it. You can see why Gil and I are upset with Franny." Antonio looked again at Lovino. "Don't think I lied to you. The happy shining eyed me is real. I just hoped you wouldn't see my darker side. Do you still love me?"

Lovino didn't answer. He didn't move.

Antonio lied down on the bed. He closed his eyes. "Lovino, would stay with me tonight? It's okay if you don't."

Lovino didn't answer. He moved this time. He moved closer. Lovino kissed Antonio's cheek. "Who said I love in the first place? I never did." He pouted.

Antonio chuckled. "You don't always have to say "I love you" to let someone know you love them." He captured Lovino's lips in a hot kiss.

This was the Antonio Lovino knew.
