All the students got up to get ready for school the way they normally did on their own schedules. Feliciano and Kiku woke up at their usual time, taking their time to get ready. Feliciano's ice pack had melted over-night so they were going to have to take it back to the nurse's office before their classes started. Once they were dressed and had their bags, they stopped at the nurse's office and returned the ice pack, having Kiku do it so Feliciano wouldn't have to explain what happened to his eye.

As soon as the item was returned, they hurried to the dining area. They quickly got their trays and a meal before heading to their table to eat. Arthur was nowhere to be found but Alfred walked up minutes later.

"You guys don't mind if I sit here do you?" Alfred asked.

The duo shook his head and asked what he was doing up so early.

"Football tryouts are later today after classes and I couldn't really sleep, so I snuck out the dorm before Arthur woke up. He should be up now, though." Alfred replied.

They nodded again as they continued their meal. The trio talked about themselves to try and get to know each other better, since they had been hanging out and didn't really know each other all that well. It was odd, Kiku thought, almost a week ago he had been sitting alone every day at meals and not talking to anyone, let alone having no other friends besides Feliciano. Now he had a whole group of friends! And though he wasn't sure he would admit it, he was sure he liked Arthur as more than a friend somehow.

Feliciano pulled him out of his trance. Alfred was nowhere to be found, and since they had both finished their meals, they cleaned off their table and headed out of the building. Kiku walked Feliciano to his first classroom as always and, after asking if he was going to be alright, Feliciano smiled and shooed him away. Kiku smiled softly and left to go to his own classroom.

Classes started and seemed to drone on for everyone. When Kiku and Arthur met up in science class, they took notes when necessary and worked on Kiku's English quietly so no one would hear them. They each had an elective course afterwards so while Arthur headed off to a writing class, Kiku went up to meet up with Feliciano in art. The duo sat together and worked. They were just free-drawing today so they could draw whatever they wanted.

Feliciano always sketched little comics when they got to free draw, Kiku loved seeing what comics he came up with. Today seemed different, however. Feliciano was still drawing comics, but instead of them being goofy little cartoons he normally drew, or even ones of himself and Kiku, these were comics about Feliciano and his brother.

Kiku wondered if the events happening in the comics were true or not. There were already a few different ones. One of them displayed the two brothers having what appeared to be a snowball fight of some kind. Another displayed the duo cooking together and purposely throwing food all over the kitchen, laughing their heads off. Kiku smiled slightly. It was nice to see the two brothers laughing and goofing off, even if it was in a drawing. Despite them spending some time together here at the school, Kiku never expected them to be incredibly close, knowing the way Lovino acted with all of his screaming.

Kiku decided to ask if the comics were memories of real life events. Feliciano smiled and nodded. Pointing to the one of the snowball fight.

"We went on a sort of vacation one winter and ended up having a snowball fight in the middle of a park. Lovino had leant up against a tree and a bunch of snow fell on him. I couldn't stop laughing." He smiled. "He got so mad and started throwing the snow at me. Before either of us knew it, we were running around screaming and laughing pelting handfuls of snow at each other."

Kiku smiled and pointed to the one with the thrown food, "What about this one?"

Feliciano giggled, "We had been apart for a while and decided to cook together. He wanted pizza and I wanted pasta so it was going to work out. I accidentally dumped some sauce on him and I really thought he was going to yell at me. But he didn't. He just smirked and threw flour right in my face!" Feliciano giggled. "We looked so silly! Anyone who heard us probably thought we were crazy or something!"

Kiku smiled. "Sounds like you two had a lot of fun goofing around."

Feliciano smiled, looking back down at the drawings. "We get along really well when it's just the two of us sometimes. Other times it's hard to tell if he even still likes me."

"I'm sure he loves you Feliciano, you're his brother." Kiku replied, trying to keep Feliciano in high spirits. "We can go talk to him after class if you would like to."

"But don't you and Arthur have an English lesson?" He asked, a frown crossing his face.

Kiku shook his head. "Science class was rather boring so we did it then. We can meet up with Alfred and Arthur after classes. Arthur said they would both most likely be there."

Feliciano smiled again, "Thank you."

Kiku smiled. "We have your back Feli."

Once the classes had ended, the duo went back to their dorm room to change quickly before heading to Arthur's dorm. After explaining the situation, they went straight to Lovino's room. Kiku knocked on the door, but they were all surprised when Antonio answered.

"I had him take a hot shower because he was so stressed, he should be out any minute." Antonio informed them.

They all nodded and Antonio invited them in. They all talked quietly until Lovnio walked out. The Italian froze in shock upon seeing his brother in his room, especially with so much back-up.

"Ciao Lovi." Feliciano smiled and waved.

Lovino returned his wave and smiled ever so slightly. "Feli look, I-I'm sorry about punching you in the face. I let my anger get the better of me and it was incredibly stupid! I-!" Feliciano raised his hand, cutting Lovino off in his words.

"I already forgive you." Feliciano smiled softly, putting his hand down.

"Why?" Lovino asked, guilt and worry in his voice.

"You know I can't stay mad at anyone for too long. Besides, you're my brother. Sure, you can be really loud and mean a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean we aren't brothers. We've stuck with each other this far somehow. I'm not going to throw that away just because you got a little pissy and threw a fit." Feliciano giggled.

Lovino flushed. He was certain he didn't deserve a brother as nice as Feliciano, but he had him and that was all that mattered. The brothers hugged and everyone clapped in congratulations for making up.

"Yay! Everyone is happy again! Can we go eat now?" Alfred asked quickly.

"Honestly, do only think with your stomach and not your brain?" Arthur asked, making everyone laugh. They all got up together and left the dorm building.

What Arthur and Kiku didn't notice, however, was that they were walking hand-in-hand.

Things are going to start heating up and going now! I feel like I've taken way to long to get the ball rolling, sorry about that!
