Lovino stood and peeked out the curtain. "It's pretty full for a small town," he commented as he looked at all the people. Marcello peaked out as well and smirked as he spotted the blonde in the crowd.
"Looks like your boyfriend came," he teased. Lovino spotted the group and looked at Marcello. "He's just a Vampire kid. Don't assume things," Lovino said before letting the curtain go.
He fidgeted with the bracelets on his wrist as Marcello helped him apply the dark eyeliner around his eyes to better emphasize them. "There. I'm not as good as Feli but I did pretty good," he said stepping away. Lovino turned to the mirror and nodded.
His black harem pants were slightly transparent with side slits and a golden belt that hung golden coins, a black veil hanging on one end. "Feliks put it together," he said strutting. "I'm surprised he didn't do it pink," Marcello said. "That's because I told him the theme was dark," Lovino said. "Where's Feli anyways?"
"He's out doing portraits for some extra money," Marcello said. The music stopped and they heard clapping as the girls came back from the stage. "This is it, Lovino. Good luck," Arthur said before patting his back and walking out stage. He took the sword from the table and walked up to the curtain until his name was called.
He looked over to his brother who smiled and gave him the thumbs up before he walked out. It was entirely dark as he took his place. A soft red light illuminated him before the music started slowly.
Vladimir froze as he spotted the teen on the stage. He could hear Elizabeta holding in screeches as she heavily patted Minel's back. The teen in front of him moved so elegantly, and he could faintly hear the golden coins jingle as he slithered expertly. His hips moved as if they were waves, his body as satisfying to watch as the ripples in a pond.
"What do you think, Minel?" Elizabeta whispered. "He's really good," he whispered back. "Vlad?" He turned to the blonde, only to see him staring. His gaze was locked and the faintest of blushes was on his face as he stared intently. He smiled and continued to watch the show.
Lovino moved about to the music, moving as elegantly as he knew how, tossing the sword from hand to hand before putting it onto his stomach. He bent back and used his stomach to roll the sword up to his chest as the crowd cheered. Vladimir clapped loudly as everyone else cheered him on. He stood straight with the sword as the song ended and he bowed.
"Everyone. Lovino Vargas!" Arthur said after stepping out. Lovino gave a wave before leaving behind the curtain and another performer stepped out. "How was Mein awesome flute playing?" Gilbert asked. "You sucked, bastard," Lovino murmured before taking a seat. "Where's Dante?" He asked looking around. Kyle went up to him and handed him the two headed snake which he took with pleasure. "I'm going to find Feli," he said before walking off.
Vladimir felt a bit of disappointment when he watched the teen leave the stage. "That was something," Minel said. "Right? He was amazing," Elizabeta said. "Yeah, it's amazing how he's able to move," Vlad said. They all turned to him shocked. "What?"
"You actually liked it? And here you were complaining about it being boring," Sadiq said strangely amused. "It's just impressive. I never seen a guy move like that," Vlad said turning back to the stage. "Well he does have a feminine figure. Just like Gupta," Sadiq said. Gupta turned to him almost scowling.
"Of course he doesn't have eyes as strong as yours," he defended nervously. "He was really pretty for a boy though," Hercules pointed out. "That's right. So go get him Minel," Elizabeta urged. "I'm not all that interested," he mused. "What? Why not?" Vladimir looked to the side to see the familiar figure of the dancer sneaking about.
He looked to his entire group deep into conversation so he did his best to stealthily make his way over. "Where are you going?" Hercules asked spotting him. "I'll be back!" He said, stumbling to his feet and running off. He could hear Sadiq yelling something but he only ran over to the boy and sneaked about as he went into one of the tents.
"Feli! Are you in here?" Lovino looked around to find noone in sight. He sighed and turned to leave. The moment he pulled the curtain back, he was met with the familiar strawberry blonde and red eyes he had seen before. He gave a guilty smile before quickly covering his mouth and stepping back.
Lovino raised an eyebrow before feeling the familiar movement of Dante. He realized that the teen might have actually been afraid of the large snake around his neck. "He isn't harmful," Lovino said. "Or cursed, he just has two heads."
Vladimir had been so lost in the dancer's eye color that he hadn't even noticed the large two headed snake wrapped loosely around him. "N-no. It's not that," he said nervously. There was an awkward silence and Vlad could hear his rapid heart beat in his ears.
He could feel a large lump in his throat and a knot in his stomach. His eyes wandered off as he looked for something to say. Anything. Lovino only watched the blonde as he nervously shifted his gaze from him to another area. "Lovi!"
They both turned to see the Spaniard who was running over. "Oh Dio." Lovino murmured before being tightly hugged. "Lovi! How was the dance! Listen, I need your help," he said pulling away. "What is it, I'm busy," he said pushing him further. "Someone threw a bottle into the arena and the bull got scared," he said lifting his leg. His pants were torn and a large gash was bleeding heavily. "I tried to stop him from attacking the stands but this happened."
"What the hell?! Tonio why would you run around like that looking for me?! Couldn't you get someone else to help?" Antonio gave a guilty smile. "Actually you're the first person I saw. Everyone else is busy." Lovino sighed and took Antonio's arm over his shoulder. "Idiota. Atleast try to wrap it yourself," he said.
He turned to the blonde who was looking at his leg uncomfortably. "Sorry. I gotta go," Lovino said. Vlad only nodded and watched the Italian pull the larger male into the tent. The older teen turned to him with a glare before disappearing behind the curtain making Vlad raise an eyebrow.
He sighed and turned around, feeling the slight tugging in his chest. He wanted nothing more than to really get to know the dancer. "Vladimir, what are you doing here? You just ran off," Minel said joining him. "Nothing. I was just looking for a bathroom," he said not looking away from the tent. "Okay well let's go. The girl with the flamming hula hoop is going to perform," Minel said walking ahead. Vlad hesitantly took a step forward before turning away and following Minel.
"Who was that boy?" Antonio asked as Lovino cleaned his wound. "Don't know. We just ran into each other," he said taking out the bandages. "Okay. Sorry, I got a little jealous," Antonio admitted seriously. "Don't be, idiota. I don't even know him," Lovino said. He finished wrapping his leg and sat back. "There. Have you seen Feli?" Instead of an answer he was pulled into a kiss.
"Don't ever look at anyone else, okay?" Lovino gave him a strange look before slightly nodding. He stood and opened the curtain, the blonde long gone. "I'll tell baguette bastard to get you. I have to find Feli," he said before leaving the tent.
