Where The Heart Is
Chapter Eleven: The Truth
"I'm not giving Romano to you! A-and you can't have his brothers either…But Romano is mine, damnit! You can't give him to me and than take him back! It's not fair!" Antonio yells at a very confused Mr. Vargas. "Um…I'm not here to take him…well, them." Mr. Vargas says and Antonio looks flabbergasted. "THEN WHY DID Romulus TAKE THEM?" Antonio yells and Mr. Vargas yells back. "YOU GAVE THAT SON OF A BITCH MY SONS? ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?"
"HE HAD LEGAL DOCUMENTS!" The Spaniard yells and Mr. Vargas practically explodes. "THAT BASTARD STOLE MY FUCKING SONS ILLEGALY! Serafina NEVER WANTED THEM NEAR THAT SELFISH ASSHOLE!" "SHIT-!" Antonio hisses and stops when he hears a knock at the door.
He opens it to see Tino and Berwald. "What is with ass of the…?" Tino trails off and stares at Mr. Vargas in shock. "Hello, Tino. I see you have failed to keep Serafina's little Marcello safe." The Italian says bitterly and Tino glares at him. "Maybe you should have done something about Romulus when you had the choice, Mr. Vargas." "Why you-!" Berwald interrupts Mr. Vargas. "Why would he take them, then?"
Everyone falls into an uneasy silence. "He hasn't taken them for Mr. Vargas, if we heard you from outside correctly, so why did he take the boys?" Berwald asks and Mr. Vargas shakes is head. "I don't know. But we need to make a game plan and get my boys back."
A week later:
Alfred and Mr. Vargas stare at each other for a minute. "You're Romano's dad…? What the hell? Are all Italians ridiculously good looking?" "It's probably just their family." Matthew says, sitting with Gilbert. "So…which one of you twins is my little Romano's best friend?" Mr. Vargas asks and Matthew raises his hand. "…Me…?" "Ah…you're so cute! I whole heartedly approve!"
Matthew looks at Mr. Vargas confused, as Gilbert and Antonio twitch. "You do know I'm only his friend…right?" Mr. Vargas laughs. "Oh, I'm well aware, I can't see Antonio standing idly by and letting anyone else have my son! He's had a thing for him since they were little, you know? When the Bad Friends Trio still worked for me all he talked about was Romano with me!" Matthew twitches a little. "So…you left your son with a man you knew could easily overpower him…and was in love with him?"
Antonio goes to defend himself, but Mr. Vargas speaks first. "Yes, I know Antonio very well. He is a man of honor and never takes advantage of others. Especially Romano, who he has always treated gently. I trust him with Romano because he loves him." Matthew shrugs as Antonio looks at Mr. Vargas starry eyed. "Mr. Vargas~! You're so sweet~!" Mr. Vargas eyes Antonio. "Tell me…what have you done with my son so far? Anything?" Antonio gulps nervously. "O-only…a few kisses…b-because of mistletoe! E-except the last one…which he asked for! B-because Matthew kissed him!"
Matthew twitches. "What? You blame me? What kind of adult blames a kid? And besides, Francis threatened me into doing it!" Francis laughs. "Oui~! I did! Nothing is cuter than two teen boys kissing!" Mr. Vargas laughs with him. "How adorable! I wish I could have seen Romano's face for each of those kisses! I bet it was precious~!" Matthew groans before Gilbert places a kiss on his cheek. "Don't worry, I wont leave you with Francis again."
"So how are we to get Lovi and the others back? I'm going crazy without my angry little Italian~!" Antonio whines and Mr. Vargas smirks. "Don't worry, I have a plan." "Why do you think he wants them if it's not for Mr. Vargas?" Kiku asks and Mr. Vargas sighs. Berwald asked the same thing last night and I have thought about it. I believe he has taken them to gain a sort of control over me and my money. We have to get them back quickly. I refuse to give my money to that bastard."
Romulus' house:
Romano groans and bangs his head against the wall of his room. "I. Hate. Uncle. Romulus." He gets up and goes to Feliciano's room, seeing him curled up and asleep. It is noon, but Romano knows he was up until about six in the morning when he finally passed out, so he lets the boy rest. Looking into Marcello's room he sees him having just fallen asleep after being up all night. Romano goes up to the sleeping boy and gently wipes the tears off his little brother's cheeks.
"I'm sorry…Marcello…" He whispers, brushing the bangs out of the boy's eyes. Letting out a heavy sigh, Romano leaves the room and goes downstairs, walking up to his uncle in the living room. "Let us leave." Romano says firmly and Romulus smiles at him. "Don't you like spending time with your dear uncle?" "We want to go home." Romulus' smile twitches. "This is your home." Romano fumes. "THIS IS A PRISON! IF YOU LOVED US YOU WOULDN'T LOCK US AWAY FROM THOSE WE LOVE!"
Romulus stands up and looms over Romano. "You love me, don't you?" "We use to! But no longer! You have lost that privilege! If you must have someone here for whatever reason, then…! Then…! Then let them go home and keep me here!" Romano yells and Romulus shakes his head. "I need all three of you. Although I admire your selflessness."
Later in the day:
Romulus goes to take a shower and Romano takes this opportunity to snoop in his room. He has put Feliciano and Marcello on watch. Entering the room, he walks to the dresser and goes through his drawers, finding nothing but clothes. He moves on to other drawers in his room; finding receipts, pictures of Romulus in various countries with various women, and a notebook. Cautiously picking it up, he looks through it.
"A grown man with a diary? Pathetic…" Romano mumbles to himself as he reads it. His eyes widen and his hands begin to shake after reading the more recent entries. "Fratello! He's done with his shower! He'll be out soon!" Marcello whispers and Romano puts the notebook back before quickly walking to Marcello's room. The three brothers lay in the bed in silence, waiting for Romulus to go back downstairs.
Once they are sure he's gone they close the door and huddle together, whispering. "What did you find fratello?" Feliciano asks and Romano takes a shaky breath. "I-I…found out…h-he's going to give us to the men that are after Feliciano and mine's dad. They are paying him a lot for it. He is then going to use this action to lure father out and get him caught as well, getting him more money from these people." Marcello and Feliciano stare at him wide eyes and frightened. "W-we're going to be…killed?"
Tino's house:
"It's official; we're getting them out tonight. I have just received word that the courts will be retracting Romulus' custodial rights and be giving ours back from the evidence we've given them of it being rightfully ours in the first place. So they are legally ours right now." Tino says and everyone lights up. "But wait…how are we going to get them? Romulus wont let us in and take them without the formal retraction." Kiku points out and everyone deflates a little. "No…I have an idea." Antonio says, gaining everyone's attention.
That night:
Romano heads into his room, after making sure his brothers have fallen asleep, and sits in his bed. He reaches over and turns off his lamp before crawling under the blankets. "I have to get us out of here…" He whispers to himself. "That'll be my job, I do believe." Romano jumps up and sees Antonio in his window on a ladder. "Antonio..?" The teen whispers and walks over to the window, reaching out to stroke the man's hair.
"You're really here this time…" Romano mutters and Antonio smiles at him, taking the boy's hand from his hair and pressing a firm kiss on his knuckles. "I am here, Romano…now hurry and grab your brothers." The teen nods and quietly goes to his brothers' rooms, whispering to them what is happening and leading them out to the ladder. The brothers and Antonio silently go down the ladder before Ludwig comes up and moves it behind the shed.
Once done with that Feliciano jumps into his arms and showers him with kisses. Marcello pulls Peter, who forced Ludwig and Antonio to bring him, into a loving kiss as well. Romano, after checking the window to make sure Romulus is still passed out on the couch, goes over to Antonio and looks down awkwardly. "W-we should get going." A gunshot is heard in Romulus' house and they all quickly run to their respective homes.
Romulus:
Romulus wakes up to see Mr. Vargas standing in front of him, pointing a gun at his face. "Hello…Romulus." Mr. Vargas says, releasing the safety on his gun. "I've come to kill you." Romulus looks up at him. "Wh…why?" "I'm no fool Romulus! I know why you took my Serafina's sons! You were going to give them to my enemies to lure me out. I know you were going to get a handsome reward and even let them kill those innocent boys! I might have been a drug and prostitute smuggler with these men before killing one of their women and running away with the drugs I smuggled for them, but I made DAMN sure that my children and their brother were in safe hands! Granted, I was not thinking of them when I ran away, but I still made sure they were safe!" Mr. Vargas says and Romulus gulps nervously.
"Y-you can't kill the brother of your beloved Serafina!" "I can and I will! You were prepared to have the three things most precious to her killed. I will take great joy in killing you. Along with framing you for what I did. So thank you, in advance, for all of your help." Mr. Vargas shoots Romulus, scatters evidence of the crimes he himself committed around his house, and leaves.
Feliciano:
After convincing Ludwig to carry him bridal style at the way home, which didn't take much, Feliciano and Ludwig arrive at their house. They go inside and see Gilbert and Matthew making out on the couch, Ludwig clears his throat awkwardly and the other two pull away. "F-Feliciano!" Gilbert and Matthew exclaim, running over and hugging him. "Ve~! I missed you guys so much! Especially Ludwig~!" Feliciano exclaims, smiling at Ludwig, who smiles back. "We'll be in my room, brother." Ludwig says, taking Feliciano's hand and leading him away.
Marcello:
Marcello and Peter get dropped off by Antonio and Romano, who are for some reason keeping their distance from each other. They run inside and Marcello immediately leaps into Berwald and Tino's arms. "Oh Tino, Berwald, I missed you so much!" The two men smile and hold him close. "We've missed you, too Marcello!" Tino exclaims and Berwald nods, allowing Peter to join them in their hug. "I'm so tired…no wait! I'm hungry! No wait…! I'm…!" Marcello sighs before smiling at the other three. "Do you have anything left from whatever Tino made for dinner?" Tino smiles and kisses him on the forehead. "Yes we do. I'll go heat it up for you."
Romano:
Romano and Antonio head home at an awkward distance from each other. "D-do you know what that gunshot was…?" The teen asks and Antonio smiles at him. "I believe it was…your dad." Romano pales. "H-he's here?" "Well not anymore, since he just killed a guy. He'll be on the run as soon as he's done. Did you…want to see him?" Antonio asks and Romano shakes his head no as the Spaniard opens the door. "The only person I want to see right now is…y-you…" The teen whispers.
As soon as they get inside Antonio wraps his arms tightly around Romano's waist from behind, pulling him up against his chest and sighing. "Oh god Romano I missed you so much." He says and Romano blushes before turning to face Antonio and burying his face in the man's chest. "I-I was…so scared…I wouldn't see you again…b-but I couldn't say anything say anything about it to my brothers because I had to be strong for them…I…I was so…" Antonio smiles down at him and lifts the boy's face, locking eyes with him. "I won't ever let anyone take you away again, I promise. From now on you're mine and only mine." He mutters, leaning down and capturing the boy's lips with his own.
Romano's eyes widen for a second at the feeling of urgency in the kiss, but quickly he kisses back. Antonio tightens his grip on the boy's waist, pulling him flush against his own body. The teen responds with a small moan at the contact and wraps his arms around Antonio's neck. Soon they are up against a wall and Romano's legs are wrapped tightly around the man's waist. Antonio reluctantly breaks the kiss. "L-let's…go…upstairs…if…y-you want to…" Romano looks up at him with hazy eyes. "Y-yes…let's go upstairs…"
Antonio carries the teen upstairs, each of them losing clothes as they go, and brings him into his room before laying the teen on his bed, both of them now only in their boxers. "Wh-why is my tomato pillow you gave me on your bed, Antonio…?" Romano asks and Antonio laughs nervously. "Does that really matter right now, Lovi?" The teen continues to stare at it in suspicion when Antonio leans down and licks an area of his neck before sucking on it. "A-ah…Antonio…." Romano moans and Antonio smirks against his now red skin. "Pay attention to me, Romano…" The man says in a husky voice and Romano turns ten shades of red. "I-idioto!" He squeaks out and Antonio laughs before brushing the boy's bangs, accidentally touching the stray curl in his hair. "N-nnn…d-don't touch there…" Romano whimpers, causing Antonio's eyes to light up mischievously. "Ohhh? Did that feel good, Lovi?" He asks in a seductive tone before reaching out and rubbing the strand of hair.
"O-oh god…! Ah…tomato…bastard~!" Romano moans, squirming the touch. "Hnn…p-please…just-ah~!-D-do it!" Antonio watches the boy amused, squeezing the strand which earns him a shiver from the teen he's straddling. "Do what…Lovi?" "Y-you know what! Do it before I change my mind!" Romano stutters out and Antonio chuckles under his breath before brining the boy into a sweet, but passionate, kiss.
Antonio runs a hand down the boy's bare chest and over his stomach before stopping at his boxers. He tugs at the hem of it teasingly, making Romano groan against his lips. "T-take it off, damnit…" "Your wish is my command, Lovi~!" The Spaniard coos before taking the boy's boxers off, soon followed by his own. Romano grows increasingly nervous as Antonio stares at him. "S-stop staring, damnit!" The boy whines and Antonio smiles at him before leaning down and whispering in his ear. "I cant help it, I like the view." He laughs a little when Romano lets out a small squeak.
"Sh-sh-sh-sh-shut up and stop teasing me!" Romano cries and Antonio kisses him. "Alright, alright…I'll stop…but…um…you do know that I'm a virgin as well…right?" The Spaniard asks awkwardly and Romano groans. "Yes, I know, I also know you are best friends with Francis so I know you know what do to. I-I'm getting more and more nervous as you stall, bastard!" The teen exclaims and Antonio nods. "Alright…allow me to ease your nerves…"
He kisses Romano on the lips before moving down his torso, taking the boy's now throbbing member into his mouth. "A-ahhh….!" Romano moans before gasping at the strange feeling of a finger slowly entering him. Antonio continues to stretch the boy's entrance as goes back to kissing him, moving their hips together in a rhythm matching that of his finger's.
"N-nn…A-Antonio…please…I-I'm ready…" Romano gasps out and Antonio nods. He grabs the boy's hips firmly and lifts them p before slowly entering him. "A-ah…ow…" Romano whimpers and Antonio frowns, placing small kisses on the boy's lips. "I'm sorry, Lovi. I wont move until you're ready." The Spaniard continues kissing the boy and begins to stroke his curl again, making Romano gasp and thrust his hips up. "Nng…Lovi…a-are you ready…?" Antonio moans and Romano nods, his eyes now clouded with lust.
"P-please…start moving…Antonio." Romano pleads and Antonio begins thrusting into the small boy. Antonio moans at the new friction as he continues to play with the boy's curl. "A-ah…Lovi…I've waited…so long…for this…!" He says between pants as Romano squirms at the foreign feeling of it all. Suddenly, Antonio slams into the bundle of nerves inside the teen, making his scream out his name in pleasure.
Romano begins thrusting his hips up to meet Antonio's, speeding up their pace. "I-I feel-! A-Antonio, I feel weird!" The teen gasps and Antonio lets go of the boy's curl, stroking a lower area on him. "O-oh god~! Antonio! I think…I'm…!" "Me too, Lovi…" Antonio moans before bringing them both to their climax. After their highs fade, Antonio cleans of Romano's stomach before he moves and puts their boxers back on.
"I love you, Romano." Antonio whispers in the boy's ear before kissing him. Romano blushes and hides his face under the covers. "T-ti amo…Antonio…" "Fusososo! You're so cute~!" Antonio coos before getting hit with a pillow. "What did I say about that creepy laugh? And why is my tomato pillow in here? PERVERT!" Romano yells and Antonio whines. "But Lovi~! I missed you~!" "CREEPER!"
Romulus' house:
"So someone already got to him…most likely Mr. Vargas…" A bald man in an expensive suit says and the tall man with black slicked back hair next to him scowls. "We're still getting what we paid for. We'll search the town for the boys…they can't be to far."
