Warning(s): Slight OOC Gilbert
The Next Day~
Feliciano sat up on his bed. He saw his pajamas on the bean bag in the corner of the room. (He had a habit of sleeping in only his underwear but he didn't know how his pajama's got off when he wore them to bed) As he rubbed his eyes, the morning sunlight shone in through his window and enveloped him and his room with a magical bright light.
"Ve~ my room looks nicer in the morning!" He smiled and stood up. Despite the mess, it was still a pleasant looking room. After taking a shower, he dressed up in his favorite hoodie and jeans and scrambled out of his room and down the stairs.
When he reached the last step, the light illuminated the floor via the large windows, giving off a blinding effect. The teen shielded his eyes and ran into the kitchen.
It was a large room as well. In the middle of the kitchen were clean white counters and high chairs. Lovino sat in one of the chairs as he watched TV and ate a bright red tomato. He wore a white, short-sleeved blazer with black trims and a red shirt under.
"Buon giorno, fratello!" Feliciano yawned as he limped inside the kitchen. The walls separating them from the outside world had large glass windows like the other rooms and the kitchen was illuminated as well. Outside, the bushes had bright pink and blue flowers on them and children were playing with
The younger Italian looked out while still shielding his eyes from the sun and from the window in Ludwig's house; he could see the blonde cooking. He could also see a man with platinum white hair, reclining on the wooden chair and a man with blonde hair similar to Ludwig's, however it was longer who was reading the newspaper.
"I wonder what he's cooking…I'll say hi later!" Feliciano smiled. Lovino grumbled and turned to Feliciano.
"I don't want to disturb your stalking routine, Feli, but here's breakfast." Lovino said as he pulled a bowl of spaghetti. Feliciano saw the bowl and his eyes began to gleam with glee.
"…PASTA~!" Feliciano squealed as he ran to the bowl and scooped the noodles in his mouth with his fork. Lovino did well in hiding his smirk, and instead, rolled his eyes.
"Hey, fratello, where's Nonno?" Feliciano said as he looked around with the bowl in his hand.
"Went out…" Lovino said as he changed the channels. They then heard a car rev and they looked out. The long haired man in Ludwig's house drove off. The youngest Italian dumped his food in the sink and headed out of the house.
"I'm going out, Lovino!" Feliciano called.
"You just got here last night, and it seems like you know the place already…don't talk to strangers." Lovino said and his brother nodded with glee and ran out.
The sweet smell of fresh air hit Feliciano's face like a wave in the sea. He took a deep breath and smiled. As he was about to cross the road, he stopped on the sidewalk of the cul-de-sac.
"Maybe, I should talk to them later…they seem busy." He thought and shrugged. From the balcony, he saw that there was a large park near there, so that was turned into his new destination. In every lawn, there were bushes paraded with flowers of assorted colors.
Yeah, there were more flowers in the country side, but the city seemed just as nice. He looked up and saw the bright blue sky. There were dozens of white puffy clouds and it covered the sun.
There were small trees on the sidewalk and it seemed more peaceful than they thought. Outside the subdivision was the busy city they had expected. As he was daydreaming about their thoughts of the city, he hadn't realized that he was already walked past the park.
He looked around, and there were not many people. He then sat on the bench. It was too quiet. He wanted to meet someone, as in talk to him or her. Suddenly, as he daydreamed, he felt the bench move.
Feliciano looked beside him to see a man with pitch black hair, dull brown eyes and there was a yellow puppy in front of him. For some reason, he wore a blue kimono under a dark brown jacket and he was just sitting there, looking at the grass; possibly thinking of something.
"Ciao!" Feliciano greeted not realizing he had surprised him. The man jumped and let out a soft scream. The man was possibly a year older than him.
"O-Ohayo!" The man greeted as he jumped. Feliciano tilted his head in confusion.
""Ohayo?"" The Italian asked.
"I'm sorry, that meant "Good Morning" in Japanese…" The man said. Feliciano nodded his head at the explanation and took out his hand.
"I'm Feliciano Vargas! You can call me Feli!" He smiled.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Honda Kiku." He said softly.
"It's nice to meet you, Honda! That is your first name, right?"
"Uh…no, in Japan, they say the surname first…"
"Oh…then O…O-Ohayu, Kiku!"
Kiku snickered at the statement. After a few minutes of chatting, two people spotted them and joined in the conversation. The first one was a boy about the same age as Kiku, but taller. He had dirty blonde hair with a cowlick sticking out, and he had sky blue eyes and glasses and he wore a brown bomber jacket. The other one had messy blonde hair with unusually thick eyebrows and emerald green eyes.
"Yo, Kiku! Whassup?" The dirty blonde greeted as he passed the two on his bicycle.
"Alfred, it is not "whassup!" It is "What is up?" How many times do I have to tell you?" The other blonde snapped at him. This Alfred man smirked as he rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, Iggy."
"My name is Arthur, you git!" Arthur yelled.
"Good morning, Alfred-san and Arthur-san. How are you two today?" Kiku greeted.
"Fine, oh…I see you've made a new friend." Arthur smiled as he saw Feliciano. The Italian waved at the two blondes.
"Yo! I'm Alfred F. Jones and I'm the Hero!" Alfred said as he laughed boisterously. Arthur rolled his eyes at the other blonde.
"Ignore his Heroic Tendencies. I am Arthur Kirkland, by the way." Arthur said as he held out his hand. Feliciano took the hand and shook it energetically, causing the Brit to shake along with the arm.
"Ciao~ I'm Feliciano Vargas! You can call me Feli!" Feliciano smiled at the two blondes. Arthur smiled and nodded and so did Alfred.
"You are Italian, I presume?" The blonde asked. The young teen nodded energetically.
"So you get a lot of girls, huh? Anyway, if you need a hero, don't hesitate to call!" Alfred grinned.
"All you do is play video games and eat those disgusting foods!" Arthur pointed out.
"You mean your scones?" Alfred smirked. Kiku and Feliciano hid their giggles as the statement was said.
"Exact—WHY YOU-!" Arthur then began to chase the American on his bike and Kiku waved goodbye to them, with the two blondes ignoring the wave in their chase.
"Well, I think it's time to head back! I hope to see you again! Bye Kiku! Bye Pochi!" Feliciano waved and ran back to his house. When he arrived at the cul-de-sac, he saw the blonde German outside his house, reading a book. Feliciano smiled and walked over to the man's fence.
"Hi, Mr. German!" Feliciano smiled.
Ludwig turned to Feliciano as he waved. The blonde raised and eyebrow.
"Hello!"
"Mr. German!"
"Ciao! Can you hear me?"
Feliciano kept on waving at Ludwig who tried to ignore his presence. However, the Italian just kept on greeting him, until he snapped.
"VHAT ZA HELL DO YOU VANT?" Ludwig practically yelled as he slammed his book on the table. Feliciano then began to tremble and he pulled out a white flag.
"I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! I have relatives in Bavaria!" Feliciano cried out as he waved the small flag, Ludwig's eye twitched as the teen sat on the curb, looking defenseless.
"You're hopeless…" Ludwig sighed as he sat down. Feliciano looked up at the German and stared.
"Ve~ No I'm not…!" Feliciano smiled at him.
"Then why would you surrender?" Ludwig asked.
"Because, life is beautiful; Si, life could become too hard to handle, but if you think about it, it's actually a beautiful gift!" The Italian said as he stood up.
The German stared at Feliciano. The teen then stood up and dusted his pants. He then held out his hand in front of Ludwig.
"Hi! I'm Feliciano Vargas! Can we be friends?" He smiled brightly.
To Ludwig, the meeting seemed like it was never meant to happen. (Zetsubou-sensei reference :)) As the blonde stared back at the Italian, he felt as if the sun that has not risen for centuries has finally come out and the bright sunlight had hit Feliciano's face causing it to glow. Feliciano's words had illuminated his dark world filled with hopelessness and the Italian had added a small drop of hope.
Feliciano looked at Ludwig, who continued to stare at him. After a while of staring, he smiled and took his hand.
"I want to be your friend! Please let me!" Feliciano pleaded as he held the large hand. Ludwig stared at the boy and unconsciously nodded.
"Yay! What's your name?" He asked.
"Why would you want to make friends with someone like me?" Ludwig asked.
"Because, when I saw you from your window, you looked lonely! Everyone deserves a friend!" Feliciano smiled. "So, what's your name?"
'What if he's just going to fool me? This is just a trap!' Ludwig thought. He pushed away Feliciano, and took a few steps backwards.
"You're just going to trick me aren't you? I am not stupid! You will not fool me!" Ludwig said as he grabbed his book and ran inside.
"…What?" Feliciano tilted his head as he heard the door slam shut. He then shrugged.
Inside the house, Ludwig stood in front of the door, looking shocked. Gilbert, his older brother, walked in with a can of beer and a shocked look as well.
"Hey, Lutz, what happened? It looks like you've seen a ghost!" Gilbert exclaimed.
"It's nothing…" Ludwig said as he walked back up to his room. Gilbert stared at him wide-eyed and walked towards the door. When he opened it, he saw Feliciano sitting on the curb.
The Italian turned around and instead of seeing Ludwig, he saw Gilbert. The albino raised an eyebrow and walked towards the Italian.
"Kesesese~ you look new and cute. What's your name?" Gilbert asked.
"I'm Feliciano Vargas! You can all me Feli! Are you that blonde man's brother?" He asked. Gilbert merely nodded and sat beside the Italian.
"Yeah, half-brother…I'm the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt! Don't wear it out!" He grinned.
"Ve~ Nice to meet you, Gilbert!" Feliciano said as he extended his arm and Gilbert gladly shook it.
"Why is that blonde man negative?" Feliciano asked Gilbert. The albino shrugged.
"Ya mean Ludwig? Dunno with him." Gilbert sighed. Actually, he knew. Ludwig would kill him if he told Feliciano. Ludwig and Gilbert are half brothers. A year after Gilbert was born; their mother had been raped by someone while she was walking out in the streets during dawn.
While she was being raped, a kind couple heard the screams and attacked the rapist. Afterwards, the police came and imprisoned the man. When she was rushed to the hospital, she eventually survived the beatings but, she was pregnant with the rapist's child.
Gilbert's father was petrified when he heard the news. He then wanted her to have an abortion; however, being the kind and caring person she was, she couldn't let the baby die. Gilbert was shocked as well, but agreed with his mother. He may have been an ass, but the albino still had a heart.
While giving birth, Gilbert's mother died, while Ludwig lived. Gilbert's father was heartbroken along with the little albino and decided to kill Ludwig, but Gilbert stopped him. Eventually, when Ludwig grew up, he found out about the rape incident, he became depressed and eventually he became a pessimist. He just couldn't tell Feliciano about it.
Feliciano shrugged and then had an Idea. He could teach Ludwig the ways of an optimist and help him see the bright sides of life! As he smiled there, he heard a call.
"Oh, Hey Gil." Feliciano looked and saw a man about as old as Alfred. In fact, he looked exactly like Alfred! Despite the length of their hair.
"Hey, Birdie! Feliciano, this is Matthew Williams." Gilbert introduced.
"H-Hi Feliciano." Matthew greeted. Feliciano took his hand and shook it vigorously, like always, and the Alfred look-alike shook with his arm.
"Feli, be gentle with Birde, here." Gilbert said as he placed a hand on Feliciano's shoulder.
"Ve~ sorry! Well, guess I'll get going! It was nice to meet you guys!" The Italian waved as he ran across the street. When he turned to his house, he saw Antonio's car parked in front of their lawn. Why hadn't he noticed? it must have been work related.
"Get off, you pedophile bastard!"
That was Lovino's voice. When he heard the yells and the chains of curses, he rushed in and opened the door. However, when the door opened, he was petrified. A mix of shock and laughter flowed through his mind and heart. He somewhat wanted to roll on the floor, laughing but instead he just blushed.
Antonio was pinning Lovino to the wall. The two then stared at Feliciano. Lovino was beet red and Antonio…was still being his happy self.
"I-Idiot! This is not what you think, damn it!" Lovino yelled as he shoved Antonio away. Feliciano started to giggle.
"You can't change my mind, Lovi~!" Feliciano sang as he skittered towards his room and laughed as Lovino grew red with both embarrassment and rage and chased his brother, who reached his bedroom and locked the door.
"Open the door, you damn coward!" Lovino pounded on the door as he heard Feliciano giggle.
"Don't worry fratello! I won't tell Nonno about your relationship with Antonio!" The younger Italian sang back.
"I have no relations with the damn tomato bastard!" Feliciano heard from behind the door. As he waited for the pounding and the chain of curses to end, Feliciano wrote a few things to do with Ludwig. (No sexual intentions…yet…;))
He also thought about Lovino's new relationship with Antonio, who was only 19. Five-year difference, eh? Afterwards, the shouts stopped and he heard footsteps leading away from the door.
Usually, Feliciano would not do this but he dropped to the floor and looked through the hole under the door. There wasn't a slipper in sight. He immediately opened the door and as he was about to tip toe down the staircase, he spotted a long rope near the plant on the staircase.
"Ve~ if Lovino saw me, he might chase me again!" Feliciano thought and grabbed the rope and headed to the…balcony?
