Ryuto

Hikaru and I sat in the mall's food court, waiting for the others to arrive. In front of Hikaru was a bowl of gelato ice-cream and a bag shaped like a cat. She was leaning over her gelato eating it a tiny spoonful at a time. My twin looked flustered and has been looking that way ever since we were picked up by Auntie.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked Hikaru, even though I've asked her before.

"Yes," she answered. She stared at her spoonful of ice-cream.

"Is it good?" I bought her the ice-cream since wasn't looking well.

"Yes. Do you want to try?" Hikaru held the spoon to me but I shook my head so she ate it. "It's good," she murmured, stirring the ice-cream.

"Can I have some?" asked a happy voice.

The two of us looked up to see Feliciano and the others standing around us. Before Hikaru could answer, Feliciano took the spoon, dipped it into the ice-cream, and smiled as he ate it. "Ve, it's delicious!" he cried.

"You can't just take someone's ice-cream!" Lovino shouted angrily.

"Then you try!" Feliciano stuffed Lovino's mouth with the gelato.

Soon enough, the elder Vargas was yelling at his younger brother and Feliciano cried out, clinging onto Hikaru. My twin let out a laugh and patted Feliciano's head.

"C'mon," she said, dumping the left over gelato into a trash can. "I want to check this mall out." Hikaru pulled on her cat bag over her back and grinned at me.

"All right!" Alfred shouted, walking ahead. "As the hero, I'll lead the way!"

"You stupid!" Yao said. "Shut up!"

"The awesome me should lead the way!" Gilbert shouted.

"No!" Alfred shouted back.

"Shut up, idiot!" Arthur yelled. "No one's leading the way!"

"Fine then!" Alfred and Gilbert yelled at the same time.

I laughed at their stupidity as the others started yelling at each other. I turned to look at Hikaru but she wasn't there.

"Hikaru!" I called out. "Guys, where's Hikaru!"

The others stopped yelling and glanced at me.

"No way!" Alfred shouted. "Hikaru's missing! Oh, god! This is so exciting! The case of our missing friend! I'll find her since I'm the hero!"

"Shut up, Alfred!" I shouted at the American. "My sister's missing!"

"Ve, Ludwig's missing, too!" Feliciano cried.

"That potato bastard kidnapped her!" Lovino shouted.

"Wait, we shouldn't jump to conclusions," Kiku said, trying to calm everyone down.

"Honhonhonhonhon…it seems our German friend has found a love interest in your sister, Ryuto," said Francis.

"What do you mean by that!" I demanded.

"It is hard to resist her, da," Ivan said. "She's sweet and cute unlike my sister."

"I found them!" Antonio cried. He pointed inside a bookstore where Hikaru and Ludwig were laughing over something inside the store.

"He looks happy," Yao commented.

"So does Hikaru," said Feliciano.

"Those two are going to end up together," Francis said.

"Not right away though," I said. "My sister's a ditz when it comes to love, and if she does know that someone likes, her, she'll enter an awkward phase."

"My brother's a little like that, too," said Gilbert. "Though he doesn't know how to act around girls. But the thing is I don't know why he looks so…at ease when he's around Hikaru."

I stared at my sister and Ludwig through the glass window. She had found someone she liked and someone who liked her back. I was starting to feel jealous when I remembered a promise I made with Hikaru a long time ago.

"I'll be right back," I told Gilbert as I spotted a certain blonde girl and her brother.

"Huh? Where're you going?" he asked.

"I'm going to talk to someone."


A Note from your Author:

I feel sorry for Ryuto. Here's Hikaru and Ludwig/Germany and they're all (a little) lovey dovey and such but he's like so alone. That's why I made him pair up with Lily/Liechtenstein. I think they'd be adorable together, you know. Thanks for reading!
