The One Out Of The Loop
"There you are!"
"Ve~?"
Feliciano found himself grabbed and pulled around, Sadiq hiding behind him. "Just keep doing what you're doin'!"
"Um... okay!" Feliciano said awkwardly, but brightly, as he went back to what he was doing. Sadiq went under the table. He did not have to question, not that he was going to, but any curiousity of his was answered by Feliks who showed up right after.
"Feliciano! Have you, like, seen Sadiq?"
Feliciano opened his mouth, only to get pinched in the back of his calf. "Ow! No, I haven't! No!" Feliks stared at him for a few more moments before walking off. Feliciano whined, rubbing where he had been assaulted. "What was that for?"
"Y'were going to say something, even though I told ya not to," Sadiq sighed, getting out from underneath the table and brushing himself off.
"Why are you hiding from Feliks anyway?" Feliciano asked, staring up at the other and trying to see his eyes. He had asked him why he always wore a hat, and also whether he could even see anything with it lowered such on his face, but had not gotten any answers for that.
"Because," Sadiq responded, as if that were an answer. Feliciano let out a whine. "Oh, don't start."
"But you're being difficult first!" Feliciano exclaimed, pointing at him. It was hard to tell if Sadiq was really looking or not, but he continued pointing just in case he was. "And you pinched me! It hurt, you know!"
Sadiq sighed, leaning over the table. "Yeah, yeah... I'm sorry."
Feliciano let his arm fall to his side once more, eyes wide and staring at Sadiq. "What's up?"
Sadiq rearranged some of the flowers they had on the table. "Eliza came by. 'pparently she didn't know I was in town."
"You know Elizaveta?" Feliciano questioned. Now that was not something he had heard before. Which was strange, because Feliciano could not tell why Elizaveta would never tell him something like that. Feliciano thought Sadiq was funny. Lovino thought Sadiq was creepy, but Lovino thought lots of people were creepy.
"You could say that..." Sadiq pushed the arrangement he made toward him. "This would be better in purple." Feliciano stuck his chin on the table and scrutinized it. "Eliza and I used to work together. Wedding planners."
"Ve... eh?" Feliciano blinked, standing up straight. "You both what?"
"It was just a job." Sadiq shrugged. "Ah, don't look like that, did'ja really think Feliks was accomplishing all of this without a word in edgewise from someone who actually knew what they were doing? How else would any of what he wanted be remotely possible?"
"I just thought he had raw talent," Feliciano responded blankly. Sadiq shook his head.
"He's got ideas, I'll give 'im that. Ideas don't go far when you can't make 'em work though."
Feliciano thought about that. Certain what Feliks came up with was so much more than what he had seen in other weddings, but he had just thought that Feliks was a lot more creative then everyone else. "This is hard..."
"If weddings were easy, there would be less stressing out over them," Sadiq patted him on the shoulder.
"Did you and Elizaveta catch up?"
"What?" Sadiq sounded as if he had not expected the question. Or maybe he did not hear him. Feliciano spoke again, louder.
"Did you and Elizaveta catch up! On old times! Talk!"
"Quiet, will ya?" Sadiq covered his mouth. Feliciano protested against the treatment, but the noise from his mouth did not seem to go far. Which was when Feliciano's cell phone went off.
"Hmm mm mmf hmf!" Sadiq let go of him and Feliciano pulled out his cell phone. "Ciao!"
"Feliciano?"
"Lovino!"
"Mi puoi fare un piacere?"
"Certamente!" Feliciano said happily. He about opened his mouth to protest Sadiq leaving the room when Lovino spoke again.
"I had an appointment to try out flavours for the wedding cake, but something else came up. Can you do it for me?"
Lovino... Lovino was finally asking him to do something! Something that had to do with food! Feliciano could not have been happier!
"Consider it already done Lovi! I promise it will be great! I–"
"I know Feli... I can trust you with deciding on flavours, I know that. Talk to you later."
"I love you Lovino! Oh, you won't be disappointed!"
Feliciano closed his cell phone, gripping it to his chest, the biggest smile on his face.
Lovino actually wanted him to do something!
Notes:
If anyone could fix my Italian, that would be lovely!
"Mi puoi fare un piacere?" = "Can you do me a favour?"
"Certamente!" = "Of course!"
