Vanessa sat there, on the couch, with her brothers and her pets waiting for the hyper Italian to arrive. Her bags where placed by the front door, she held her cat in her arms silently petting her head. No one had really said a word to the each other since they got up this morning. Feliciano was gonna be there around one to one thirty, at the moment it was about twelve something. Vanessa was still a little upset about her animals. Even though she was upset about them she was still more then excited to be gone for two weeks. A hand ran throw her long blonde hair then rested on her thigh.
Second thinking she decided to pull her hair back into a tight and high pony tail leaving her bangs resting on her forehead. Her outfit was a white button up dress shirt covered by a dark blue coat the pointed at the bottom. The cuffs of the coat where a blood red color along with the inside of it, a tan shah went from her left shoulder to her right side. She also wore a tight skirt that came to mid thigh, the color was the same blue as her coat. For shoes she had on thigh high white heeled boots that laced up in the front. (A/N if you wanna see the outfit just google female prussia and thats what I'm talking about). She used her german flag colored hair tie to tie her hair back, she was ready to tackle the day.
Glancing down at the ball of fur in her lap a smiled formed on her lips, the smaller gray cat was sleeping. She looked to the side where Midnight was sleeping and smiled bigger, her babies looked so cute sleeping. She leaned back in her seat and rested her head on the back of the couch staring at the ceiling. Different things ran throw her mind, most of them where what her and the Vargas brother could do while together for two weeks. Some where about what things would be like when she got back from those two weeks. From the way Ludwig was acting it seemed like what ever this thing was they where doing was important. She never asked about it a little afraid of the answer, so she just keep her mouth shut.
Her thoughts where interrupted by the sound of knocking on the front door down the hall. She lifted her head and watched as her bright blue eyed brother walked out the room and to the door. She heard Feliciano's voice then foot steps making their way over to her, they soon entered the room. Feliciano smiled brightly at her, in return she smiled back standing up with the sleeping cat. Said cat stayed sleeping in her arms, Vanessa walked over giving her friend a hug.
"Ciao! Are you ready to-a go?"
"Ja, I think so"
"Seien Sie gut und haben eine schöne Zeit (Be good and have a fun time)" Ludwig kissed his sisters forehead and walked away, Gilbert walked up and hugged her kissing her cheek.
"Ja haben eine schöne Zeit und bleiben genial! (yes have a fun time and stay awesome!)" she smiled at him and followed Italy to the front door, Ludwig had already taken her bags out the the car and was just walking back in. She set down her cat and hugged Midnight tightly the hugged the cat.
"Don't vorry guys I'll be back before you know it, I promise" Berlin-cat meowed and rubbed up against her, Midnight answered her with a whine before laying down. He put his head in her lap and looked up at her sadly, "don't look at me like that!" she cried hugging him again, the dog licked her face. Italy watched sadly at the girl with her animals, he knew how important they where to her. She's had animals her whole life and couldn't imagine life with out them. The longer he watched the more he wanted to just come out and say she could bring the two animals. With out even second questioning he walked over and kneeled down beside his blonde female friend.
Vanessa looked up at over at Feliciano, he smiled and reached out putting his hand on the dogs head. Midnight wagged his tail and licked Feli's hand, the Italian giggled and turned to Vanessa.
"Van, if you want to-a bring the two you-a can!" he chirped, Vanessa's eyes widened and a huge smile crossed her face.
"Really! You don't mind!" she pulled him into a hug
"Of course not!" the news made her so happy, she ran to the closet and pulled out a cat carrier and a dog leash. She clipped the leash onto Midnight's collar then opened the door, Berlin-cat strolled in happily. Vanessa thanked Italy one last time then took the animals out to the car putting them into the back. Ludwig turned to the shorter male, said male turned to Ludwig with a smile still on his face.
"Are you sure about zhat?"
"Sure! I know how-a she loves them. It's not-a going to hurt anyone" he waved goodbye to Ludwig and gets into the car driving off. The two German males wave their sister off then go to get ready to leave themselves. Italy reached down and flipped on the radio, Vanessa started to nod her head as one of her favorite songs come on. The two start to sing along with the song nodding their heads and dancing in their seats. When the song ends they laugh at their silliness, until a new song to sing comes on. Ten songs later the two friends pull up to the house, Italy turned off the radio the kills the engine.
Lovino is laid out on the couch comfortable, while flipping throw the channels on the TV. His little 'me time' was short ended when the sound of a car pulled into the drive way. He could hear the music from the car cut off and seconds later the engine being killed. He sat up and stranded his head looking out the large window that sat on the left side of the wall. His brother and Vanessa where pulling things out of the car, wait... Vanessa? What was she doing here, yea Feliciano told him that she was coming over for two weeks but didn't bother to tell him when. Quickly he jumped up and nearly sprinted into his room, he slammed the door shut. He did this for one and only one reason, he was only in his night cloths still which was boxers and a thin muscle shirt.
Just as he pulled a black tee over his head the sound of the front door could be heard open then clothes. Glancing over on his bed he spotted his cat, the cat looked up and over at his owner with its brown eyes. Romano-cat stood up and jumped off the bed following his master down the stairs and to the living room. There was two new smells in his house and he didn't know what or who they belonged to. The only smell he was use to was the smell of his fellow brother, Italy-cat. Both strolled into the room and stopped dead in their tracks at what they saw in front of them. A four foot three inch black german shepherd sat next to the blonde girl. In said girl's hands was a fluffy light grey cat laid, curled up, and sleeping.
Vanessa at first didn't notice the older Italian enter the room, she was to busy talking and laughing with Feliciano. While talking with him she felt a pair of eyes on her, slowly she turned her and met Lovino's eyes. She smiled brightly and turned in her seat.
"Hello Lovi!" he sighed at the nickname, he still didn't like being called that but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't say anything back but walked in and sat in his favorite chair, along with his cat.
"What the hell is that?" he said pointing to the dog
"That's Midnight! And this is my cat!" the cat let out a meow and Midnight huffed laying down by her feet. She stayed a little longer talking before taking her two suitcases up to the room she was giving the first time she was here. Midnight followed her but Berlin-cat stayed on the couch curled up in Italy's lap. But soon even he had to get up, the brother went into the kitchen to make something to eat together. Cooking was the only thing the two didn't argue about, or Lovino didn't argue about, which was a good thing.
Vanessa was up in her 'room' putting all of her clothes away into the closet and the dress. Soon all that was left in the room was Italy-cat, Romano-cat, and Berlin-cat who all laid on different furniture. Berlin-cat has already met Italy-cat since their masters where such great friends, but never Romano-cat. She listened to her aster talk about his master but never about him, both male cats looked the same but Romano-cat was darker. She sat up curling her fluffy tail around her, and turned to the dark male cat on the chair. He sat up as well and turned to the new cat at the house, he looked over her quickly. Her fur was light grey almost white and her eyes where bright and deep red, and a scar on her right shoulder.
Berlin-cat did the same thing to him, his fur was brown he had a darker brown color patch on his head. Another one was going down the length of his back and a little patch of his tail, the cats eyes where the same honey brown as his masters. She stood up and walked closer to him by jumping onto the arm of the chair, he jumped back and looked up at her.
"Meow! Hello I'm Berlin-cat!" she said curling her tail up around her again, he just stared at her a little longer before specking back.
"Yea, ciao, I'm Romano-cat" he laid down tucking his pawns under his chest, she moved down from the arm onto the seat getting closer. Romano-cat glared over to the side at her, "why are you getting so close to me for!" she didn't say anything but laid down next to him and stared into his eyes. Even throw his fur you could see a faint blush cross the cats face, he turned his heat away from her. She remained there, Italy-cat made his way over now laying on the other side of his brother. He laughed the started to play with Romano-cat's tail, this was starting to piss off the older cat.
"Hehe Romano-cat your tail is so fun!"
"Stop doing that you damn bastard!" he yelled growling at his brother, Italy-cat just ignored his brother's insult but stopped playing with his tail. Berlin-cat giggled then jumped over Romano-cat tackling Italy-cat playfully. He jumped back happy to finally have someone to play with since Germany-cat and Romano-cat wouldn't.
Vanessa finished with putting her clothes away and walked back down to the living room. She walked in to see the two cats playing and rolling around on the floor together, this made her laugh. The two didn't stop so she walked in and kneeled down beside the dark male cat who was laying down. She reached over and scratched under his chin, he seemed to like that since he didn't pull back. She sat there petting the cat listening to the sound of its purring. It wasn't until Feliciano came running yelling about pasta that she stood up leaving the cat to his napping.
She followed Italy into the kitchen and sat down at the table that was already set up with bowls, forks, drinks, and last but not less pasta. The other two sat down as well, the food looked so good it even smelled good Vanessa couldn't wait to eat. Once everyone was sitting down they dug in stabbing the pasta with their forks then shoving it into their mouths.
"Oh my goodness, guys this is amazing!" she said before shoving another bite into her mouth, Italy smiled in response. Cleaning up after a pasta meal was always the hardest part about it, sauce can be hard to clean up. The three spent the next hour scrubbing down the pot until it was finally clean enough to put away. Vanessa ran up and high fived Feliciano and yelled "victory is ours!" before running out of the room. Feliciano laughed then followed after her, leaving Lovino standing there in the kitchen with a questioning look on his face. He finished up his cleaning then walked into the living where the other two idiots where at. Walking in he sweat dropped at the sight before him. His brother was laying on the floor with his cat on his chest, Vanessa was on the couch her cat by her head and his cat by her feet. Both had their eyes closed and lightly breathing. For sure Lovino knew his brother was sleeping, it was something he always did, but he wasn't so sure about the German.
He turned walking into the hallway opening a door to a closet in front of the living room entrance. Opening the door he pulled out two blankets closing the door he made his way back to the room. He unfolded the first one and throw it over his little brother making sure he didn't disturb him or the cat. Turning to the couch he's honey orbs made contact with red ones, a smile spread across her lips. She sat up pulling her legs up to her chest making sure not to hit the cat sleeping by her feet. She rested her head on top her knees never breaking the stare. He just stood there staring, not glaring or anything like that just staring, his hands still holding the blanket. Nether one of them said anything to the other, the room remained silent, it wasn't a awkward silence it was comfortable. Turning around he draped the blanket onto the back of the chair then sat down, his cheeks a little pink.
"Damn bastard what the hell are you looking at?" he breathed out in a whispered, Vanessa rolled her eyes not moving from her spot.
"Vhen I figure it out I'll let you know" he turned his head and glared over at her, things went from nice to bad in like .2 seconds. Why couldn't he be nice for just one day? Yea sure she knew that he was an asshole and would get like this a lot but there was no need. She wasn't doing anything to harm him or something. She rolled her eyes again and crossed her arms over her chest huffing, she turned her attention to the window. The sun was just starting to hit the middle of the sky, the day was still so young. The sky was so clear and the weather was just about right, not to hot and not to cold, almost like spring weather. Vanessa almost wished she could just run outside and stay there for the rest of the day. Of course she didn't want to leave not really knowing where everything was at and not knowing the town. That's what sucks about being new somewhere, you know absolutely nothing about the town or where things are at.
Lovino glanced at Vanessa while she was staring out the window, her eyes where almost sparkling. He knew he shouldn't of said something that mean to her but he couldn't help it, it was his nature to be so mean. He truly just wanted to turn her around and apologies to her, be he was to stubborn to ever do something like that. (A/N This is only thing I find true about Italians... my dad is Italian and he is a very stubborn man). He huffed silently standing back up and heading for the stairs to get to his room. Right know he didn't need the drama with the German girl, he just wanted to relax and take a nap. So, thats just what he was gonna get too, once in his room he stripped down into his boxers and tank-top. Lovino didn't get inside the covers though, he just laid on top of them and closed his eyes drifting off to the sound of the wind. It was rather calming and relaxing, it cleared his mind of all the negative thoughts he was having..
Vanessa watched as the taller italian walked out of the room and up the stairs leaving her by her self. She was with Feliciano but he was sleeping so that didn't count as having someone there. Vanessa took this time to let out the dog for a few, she had packed a few of his toys for times like this. She slid the backdoor open and watched as the oversized dog ran out into the yard as fast as his legs could carrie him. She stepped out and smiled watching him, she took off into a jog following him around the yard. Growing up like she did you learn to find the fun in having animals, that and her and Midnight had a very close bond that no one could understand.
Lovino opened his eyes and looked over at the clock on the nightstand beside the bed, it's only been about twenty minutes. Sitting up he ran and hand throw his hair sighing loudly, he stood up pulling back on his pants and shirt. He made his way back down the stairs and into the kitchen to get something to drink, thats when he noticed it. Turning his head to the side he set down the bottle of water and noticed that the screen door was slightly open. Looking into the living room he turned to the back door opening it more and peered outside to find the german girl. She was chasing after dog in the back yard, burst of laughs would escape from her lips as the two went back and forth casing the other. A smile creep its way onto his face as he watched the two, she seemed so happy and alive when she was like this.
He mentally slapped himself and shock his head pushing the though to the back of his mind. He looked back up and out to find Vanessa laying on her back breathing hard, Midnight walked over tilting his head. He then laid down rolling over onto his back and started to pant, Vanessa let out a loud burst of laughter.
"She's adorable is she not?" Lovino jumped and turned around finding Feliciano standing behind him a smile on his face.
"Dont sneak up behind me like that dumb ass!" he yelled Feliciano didn't say anything else he walked closer and the two stared out again. Lovino's eyes softened a bit, he couldn't argue with his brother at the statement he made, she did looked adorable. He just couldn't get involved with anyone thought, all they where after was their grandfathers inheritance. Just like everyone else was, thats all they ever wanted out of him, they only pretended to be his friend for that reason and that reason only. A frown made its way across his lips, as much as he wanted to believe that wasn't true, he couldn't. Feliciano made friends with everyone and didn't care about anything else much, it didn't concern him.
"Lovino?" he turned his attention to his brother "whats wrong, Lovino?" he could hear the concern tone in his voice, but he would never tell Feliciano what was wrong. Every time he did Feli would just start saying that they weren't friends with him for that reason. That they truly care about him and his feelings,
"Nothing, fratello" he said. "Nothing at all" Feliciano searched Lovino's face, he knew he was lying but wasn't going to push anything and get yelled at. Feliciano only nodded, something told him he knew exactly what was going on with Lovino. Feliciano smiled and grabbed his brothers arm pulling on it
"Come on Lovino! Lets go play with Vanessa!" before his brother could protest or yell he was yanked into the back yard. Vanessa looked up from her spot on the ground to see the two brothers making their way over to her. She sat up and crossed her legs, Lovino was being pulled by Feliciano and he didn't seem to happy about it. But, he did not say anything about it as they stopped in front of her "Vanessa! Come lets play football!" Feliciano yelled picking up the football and holding it out to her. She pushed herself up and off the ground taking the ball into her hands, she raised an eye brow at him.
"How are we gonna play with just three of us? That wouldn't be a fair game." and if somehow her question was was heard Antonio walked throw the back door into the yard. He smiled brightly at them and walked over
"Hola everyone!" he beamed
"What!? Antonio what the hell are you doing here!" Lovino screamed the Spaniard smiled and put his arm around Vanessa's shoulder pulling her into a side hug.
"Its been awhile since I've seen Vanessa and I knew she was going to be here so I came for a visit"
"Good! Would you like to play football with us?" Feliciano asked
"Si! Of course I would!" the teams where split up into the Italian brothers vs. the german and the spaniard. Make-shift goals where set up on ether side of the yard, with it only being two people per team the goals would have to be un-guarded for now. Once someone was on the other side of the field then someone had to hurry and guard the goal as best as they could. The game went of for about an hour and a half with the four running up and down the yard trying to make goals. They even had a deal that if Vanessa's team lost she had to go on a date with Lovino and if Feliciano's team lost they had to do what ever Vanessa and Antonio wanted. Well lets just say that for about a few hours Lovino and Vanessa would be along, Italian's brothers may not be strong but they where good at this sport.
Vanessa was kneeling on the ground trying to catch her breath while Antonio stayed standing laughing. Feliciano and Lovino where leaning back to back breathing pretty heavily, a deal was a deal there was no way of getting out of it. Antonio bent down and placed a hand on Vanessa shoulder
"Have fun tonight!" he joked, she slowly turned and glared up at him only to get a warm hearted smile back at her. In all honesty she was more the happy to go, even though he was a complete asshole to her sometimes. She wanted to get to know him better and see if she could change his mind about being less mean. It was a plan that she hoped would work but knew it had a ninety nine precent change of failing. Antonio reached his hand out and she took it being pulled to her feet in one swift yank of his arm.
"That-a was fun! We should do-a that more often! And next time get Ludwig and Gilbert to play with us!" Feli cheered
"Yea and see if we can get others to play! Lets make it one big football game!" Antonio blurted in, him and Feliciano started to chit chat about who was going to be on what team. Lovino and Vanessa stood off to the side and watched as the two got overly excited about the next game. Vanessa let out a sigh and peered over to her left at Lovino who was looking her way as well.
"A deals a deal, Lovino, looks like you and me have a date" she said a small smirk crossing her face as Lovino's face started to turn red. He let out a sigh and shrugged not making any eye contact with her, now he had to plan something for the two of the. Feliciano and Antonio finally shut up about the group football match and joined the two. Instead of sticking around to talk with them Vanessa made her way up the stairs and into the bathroom for a shower. She turned on the water adjusting the knobs to just the right temperature before stripping down and jumping in. The cool water felt good on her sweaty and hot pale skin, she almost didn't want to move from her spot.
Sadly had to move, there was a lot of things to do before she was ready to go out and around town tonight. First off she washed her hair with shampoo and then conditioner making sure it was washed out all the way she moved on. For a good ten fifteen minutes she spend the time shaving her legs and underarms until they here super smooth. Once done she washed off her body with her favorite body wash that smelled like strawberries. Stepping out the shower she pulled the towel around her and looked into the mirror, her hair was gonna be hard to dry. She pulled out a hair dryer from her bag in the room and plugged it in turning it on, it took almost an hour to dry her hair. Finally with her hair dry she ran a brush throw it brushing out all the nots and tangles making it smooth and silky. She tied it back with a german flagged hair tie. Now it was time to get dressed, pulling out one of the dresser doors open she began her search.
After Vanessa finally got down Lovino hopped into the shower as well washing away the nasty sweat. It only took him about five or ten to shower, he walked out with the towel wrapped around his waist. He pulled out a nice pair of jeans and a white dress shirt, he used the towel to quickly dry his hair. He could hear the sound of Vanessa's hair dryer, he could tell that it was going to take her a while. Pulling on his pants and shirt, he brushed his hair and made his way down the stairs to find some shoes. He quickly found a black pair of shoes and throw them on before walking into the living room. Feliciano and Antonio looked up and smiled at the same time, Lovino frowned and rolled his eyes.
"Wow Lovi! You look nice!"
"I told you to stop calling me that you damn tomato bastard!"
"He's right Lovino, you look so nice" he didn't say anything but walked over and sat on the couch with his hands in his pockets. For about five minutes he sat there grumbling under his breath.
"How long does it take to get dressed, damn, its been about almost two hours now" and right after he said that Vanessa came walking throw the door, all three men turned their heads and jaws hit the floor. She had on the same white boots from when she arrived and her hair was pulled back into a nice ponytail. She had on black shorts that barely met the top of her shoes and a white dressy shirt that was longer in the back. On her left middle finger she wore a ring with an opal stone in the middle, and next to it another ring with garnet stone in it. She looked absolutely stunning, a faint blush crossed her face as the three continued to stare.
"Vanessa you look so beautiful!" Toni yelled jumping up and walking to her hugging her, she giggled returning his hug "your brother would dye right about now" it was true he would. Feliciano joined, he took Vanessa's hands opening them to get a better look at her.
"You look so cute! Your a lucky guy Lovino!" said lucky guys blushed standing up walking out the room to the door
"Yea what-a ever, lets just-a go before it gets to-a late" Vanessa nodded waving goodbye before walking out the door. She stood in place as Lovino turned and walked out the door closing it. He walked over to his car unlocking it motioning for her to follow, with out a word she slipped in and he pulled out the drive way.
