What a cold morning. It was absolutely freezing outside, and this was mostly because of the fresh snow laying on the ground. White flurries were falling freely onto the ground and creating a winter wonderland right outside. The trees were hanging icicles, and hanging low heavy with snow. A cold winter breeze was sweeping some snow up off the ground and into a spiral. It did almost look like something out of a story book. One could consider this, since this was Italy.

Lovino was awoken rudely when he felt cold air surround his body, and the lack of a warm blanket on him. His eyes popped open, and he saw the culprit who seized his blanket and threw it to the floor. It was his annoying little brother, Feliciano.

Feliciano was wearing a winter jacket, with a pom-pom hat to keep his ears warm. A long scarf was wrapped around his neck, and soft woolen mittens were on his hands. He looked almost like he was about to go jump into that winter storm.

"Fratellone! Wake-up! Look outside, looky looky!" The younger brother ran to the window and pulled back the drapes to let a bright light into the room.

Lovino's eyes were adjusting to this sudden brightness, and groaned loudly. He reached over his bed and pulled the blanket back over himself.

"Idiota… Don't wake me up for stupid shit like snow." Lovino nuzzled back into his pillow, and wrapped his blanket tightly around himself. He was obviously trying to send a clear message to Feliciano that he wanted nothing to do with the freezing cold rain falling on the ground.

The elder even heard a happy giggle, then a sigh as he felt himself being rolled around on his bed. Feliciano was just so adamant! He really wanted Lovino to get up.

"Come on fratello! Wake up! Wake up! Let's go play outside! We never see this much snow. It would be really nice if you could come play with me. Even for just a little bit." Feliciano said softly as he looked back out the window he opened yearningly.

Groaning heavily, Lovino turned on his side to look back at his younger brother. "Just a little bit? Then I can come back to bed, and you'll leave me alone for the rest of the day?"

Nodding rapidly was Feliciano's answer to his brother's question. "Sí! Please fratello! It would make me very happy!"

Letting out a sigh of defeat, Lovino pulled the blankets off himself and got out of bed. Feliciano seemed very excited about this. He was jumping around as he watched his brother climb out of bed and pull some warm clothes out from his messy drawers.

Lovino turned to look at Feliciano who was still sitting contently on his bed like a happy little snow elf. "What are you doing?"

"Ve~ Waiting for you to get ready of course Lovi!"

"I'm going to get changed you know…"

Feliciano's eyes suddenly looked at his elder up and down, and then he let out a small gasp. A light blush was even covering his cheeks.

"Fratellone… Is going to get naked for me?" Feliciano asked while pointing at himself in a confused way.

"I-Idiota! Get the hell out of my room!" Lovino grabbed a brush from his dresser and threw it at Feliciano. Who in turn began to cry because his brother hit him… With a brush.

"W…Wahhhh! Fratello hit me!" Feliciano wailed while small tears were forming at his caramel brown eyes.

Lovino stared at him wide eyed, and then remembered their grandfather was probably still asleep! He had to shut Feliciano up before both of them would get the punishment of a lifetime for waking up Nonno.

The elder lunged forward and clasped his hands over Feliciano's mouth. "Shut up! You moron… Do you want to wake up Nonno?"

Felciano shook his head and then stopped crying. Lovino looked at him in pity and wiped away his tears. "Stop crying fratello… No more tears, okay? We're going to play outside! You really want to play don't you?"

Feliciano nodded and moved closer to his brother to steal a kiss on his cheek. Lovino replied with a large blush across his face.

"W-What was that for?" Lovino asked as he touched his cheek where Feliciano's lips just touched.

"You said we were going to play out side. Fratello wants to play with me!" Feliciano said happily.

"Well, duh. If I was a brother who didn't play with my bambino fratello… then what kind of brother would I be?"

Feliciano smiled and hugged his brother tightly. "Grazie fratellone! Grazie!"

Lovino patted his back, and pulled back. "Alright… I still have to change if we are going to play outside in that freezing weather. A-Are you really going to stay and watch me get dressed?"

Feliciano nodded and sat criss-cross on his legs. "Sí! I have to make sure fratello doesn't slip back into bed!"

Signing heavily, Lovino began to strip in front of his younger. They were both still young, but were old enough to know what 'this' feeling was. There was a fire burning inside both of their hearts as they knew exactly what the other was doing. One was staring at his brother getting nude, while the other knew he was watching.

Feliciano's face was so very red while he was watching his elder do this. He wanted to turn away, but his eyes didn't let him. He stared straight at his elder brother's toned chest, and the small hairs that were growing on his chest.

Lovino then began to put on the warmer clothes, but it almost seemed to hot for that now. He thought his skin was going to catch on fire! His heart was racing so very quickly, and his fingers were shaking. Was changing suppose to be this stressful?

The younger began to feel very hot himself. He took off his hat, and his scarf tossing them aside. Then his mittens and jacket.

When Lovino turned to see his brother stripping, he stopped putting clothes on and stared at him. "What the hell are you doing?"

Feliciano looked up at him with red cheeks, and began to speak softly. "It's nice and warm inside with fratello here…. I don't… Want to go outside when it's so very warm in here like this. It's too comfortable. We can just stay inside.. Under your bed."

Lovino looked at Feliciano like he was unbelievable. He actually wanted to sleep in, instead of playing outside. "But fratello? What if it melts?"

The younger shook his head and opened his arms to Lovino. "Snow isn't as important as you are. I want to sleep in with fratellone."

As soon as the elder heard this, he dropped the jacket he was about to put on, and rushed to his brother wrapping his arms around him. He nuzzled into his neck and kissed his cheek.

Feliciano pulled back and looked at his brother with a very flushed expression.

"W-What was that for?"

"You said you wanted to sleep in… With me." Lovino answered back with a grin on his face.

They laid back down on Lovino's bed together and curled up close to one another. Lovino watched as his brother drifted into a peaceful slumber. Soon the elder found his eyes becoming heavy with sleep. And there they lay, early in the morning in each other's arms letting their warmth wash over them. This was so much better then rolling around in the cold. It was warm, and it was pleasant.

And the best part was, neither one of them noticed their fingers entwined with one another. Like lovers after a long night of passionate love making. But yet, they were so young. Little boys who were only experiencing their feelings for the first time.
