Nya!!!!!!! Updateeeeeeeeee!

When I was twelve, my chambermaid, Lovino, contracted the Gray Death. Lovino was a grumpy boy two years older than Alfred, who would always come in my room in the morning complaining about my brother or another boy named Antonio who I would watch play with him in the afternoons. I knew something was wrong when he came in, gave me a small smile, and started to make my bed in silence.

Later in the day, I got the courage to ask Arthur what was wrong with him. He told Alfred and me that Lovino had just caught a bad cold and would be back to normal in a few days time. His face said otherwise and I rushed to see the nearest elf, Eliza, what really had Lovino. She knelt down in front of me, and placed her hands on my shoulders. I looked into her eyes and then I knew the answer.

I rushed to the nursery and tried to get my brother to come vist him with me.

"I was gonna pratice my sword skills Mattie!" He said with a frown.

Lovino was just my chambermaid. Alfred grew up with Feliciano, Lovino's younger brother, as his chambermaid.

"You can give him hope though, Al!"

In the end, with the help of my teary eyes, Alfred let out a sigh and followed me to his chambers.

"Howdy Lovino!" Alfred shouted as he waltzed over to his bed.

Lovino gave him the dirtiest glare, but still managed to get up and give Alfred a lopsided bow. I bit my lip in worry and stayed by the doorway. It was odd to see Lovino looking flushed and weak-hearted. The first stage of the disease was always the longest but tht didn't stop it from happening. Some could last months before the weakness hit while others only days. Then sleep would come and that lasted for nine days, and the fever after for just three. Then death.

Lovino got back in bed. I made my way over toward the rocking chair by the fire when I froze.

"Mattie tells me that-"

"Alfred!" I cried out and stumbled backwards. Alfred whipped his head around to stare at me in worry and I lifted a finger to the chair. A huge daddy long-leg.

"What the hells going on?" Lovino tried to peer over the huge stack of blankets covering him.

"Chillax Mattie. I see it." Alfred walked over and calmly brushed the spider into his hand thenwent over to the window, opened it, and threw the spider out.

"What was that?" Lovino asked, brows furrowed.

"Noth-"

"Just a spider Lovi! Want me to get you one?" Alfred laughed.

"Alfred!" I scoffed at my brother as I slowly sat down.

"Just playing with you Lovi! No need to get a fit!"

"Shut up Prince jerk!"

"Lovino..." Eliza tutted from the doorway.

Alfred giggled as Lovino's face blew out like a tomato but he managed to calm himself.

"So why did you two come here? To make fun of me?"

"Of course not Lovino! I came to tell you a idea of mine!" I eagerly scooted the rocking chair over to his bed and leaned forward. Eliza looked over at me and gave a small nod.

"What is it....?" Lovino sat up starighter and leaned over to me more.

"Well I got the idea, that if everyone with the Grey.....umm...sickness, tried their hardest, they could beat it!"

Lovino blinked his eyes a few times and opened his mouth then closed it slowly.

"That's stupid." He sat back against his pillows and looked away from me, out the window.

My face fell and I looked over to my brother for help. He shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes. 'It's Lovino, what do you expect.' Eliza got up when someone knocked on the door and went over to open it. Gilbert strode in, our fathers new apprentice sorcerer.

I leapt to my feet. The rocking chair swung back violently before gravity carried it back my way and knocked me in the knees, causing me to fall over. Or I would have, if not for Gilbert catching me. He looked down at my beet-red face and flashed me a grin before steadying me and stepping back. He gave a playful bow and chuckled at my sad attempt of one back.

"Good to see you full of energy Mattie!" Gilbert chuckled before walking over to Lovino.

Gilbert was the only other person in the world that called me by that nickname.

"Hello Lovino. Still have your temper I see." Gilbert smirked down when Lovino gave a snarl and crossed his arms.

"I don't want your stupid magic, you albino freak!"

Gilbert gave a mock bow. "Of course not. I promise." His smirk returned.

He had snow white hair. His face was heart-shaped with high cheekbones. His eyes were a blood-red, rare even in sorcerers, which held long eyelashes. He wore a white tunic with black symbol in the middle, and long tight-fit red leggings. His sleek, shiny boots went up to his knees.

"If you're here, mabey you could help Lovino feel more better...?" I asked timidly.

Gilbert turned around and gave me a warm smile. "I shall try, Prince Mattie."

Gilbert turned back to Lovino and put his hands on his hips. "What can I help you with Lovi? No potions, of course."

Lovino rolled his eyes then froze, a blush coming into his cheeks. He bit his lip and looked up at Gilbert.

"Could you...." Lovino motioned for Gilbert to come over and then whispered in his ear.

Gilbert burst out laughing, which caused Lovino to glare back. "O-Of course Lovino!"

I scrunched my face in confusion and looked over to Alfred who was now sitting in the forgotten rocking chair. He chuckled and held up one finger. Just wait.

Crack!

I screamed out, startled. Now standing in front of Lovino's bed was his dear friend, Antonio. He was very much so naked.

Alfred and Gilbert both burst into fits of giggles, casuing Alfred to fall out of the rocking chair and Gilbert to double over, clutching his stomach. Lovino let out scream of rage and tried getting out of bed, to most likely flee the room, but our elf, Eliza held him down.

"Why am I naked?" Antonio looked down in disbelief then over at Gilbert where his eyes narrowed. "Oh. I understand now."

"I tried my best Antonio! Bu-But you would be transported here however he-" Gilbert pointed at the fumming boy in the bed. "-pictured you to be."

"Is that so!" Antonio smiled at Lovino and then started walking over when he froze, the smile wiped clean.

Everyone noticed and the giggles were cut short. Lovino no longer blushed and tears starting sliding down his cheeks. I gulped and walked over to my brother, helping him up.

"Is it....does he have..." Antonio looked over at Eliza who gazed at him with sad eyes.

"I'm afraid so Antonio. Lovino has the Gr-sickness"

Me and my brother, along with Gilbert made our way to the door. As I gently closed it, I gazed at the torn look on Antonio's face and the misery on Lovino's. Deep in my heart, I knew that would be the last time I would see my chambermaid. The door shut with a click and I let out a pitiful cry and was swept into my brothers arms.
