Oh my gosh! I am sososososososososososososo SORRY! I've kept you waiting for so long! Ever since I got back from my Hungary tour I've been struck with early senioritis! But I'm here now, I'm alive and I have new updates ready to go! I know school starts tomorrow so I'm making it my goal to get at least one new update on all my incomplete stories! Again, SO sorry about the wait! Enjoy!

Amelia walked down the halls looking in every doorway she came across. She had been searching for Feli for the past hour; none of the servants had seen him anywhere so Amelia had been searching by herself. She passed by a window and did a double take. She looked out to see Feli sitting in the garden with the snow falling on his fur. Amelia smiled in relief that her search was over and went out to meet him; she had the perfect plan to get these two to kiss and make up.

Lovino had told her how he really felt and it was actually really moving; Amelia had a feeling that if Feli knew how he really felt and vice versa, they could patch things up without any problem. Amelia walked outside and placed her hand on the wolf's head, "Hey, you feeling okay?" she asked. Feli wordlessly nodded and Amelia continued, "I'm sorry for prying about you and your brother earlier," she said with a sad smile, "It's just, I kinda know how you feel,"

"What do you mean?" Feli asked. Amelia knelt down next to him and stared out into the snow, "See, my mom died when I was little; I had never felt so sad in my life and my dad was even worse. He would stay out late drinking and come home looking like shit; I you have no idea how much it worried me when he did this to himself. But what hurt the most was that every time my dad looked at me he would start to cry, because I looked so much like my mom; I was just a painful reminder of what we had lost. After a while I considered running away so my dad wouldn't have to feel that sadness anymore; I actually went up to him one night and asked him if leaving would make him happy…"

"Leave? What the bloody hell do you mean?" Arthur demanded, wiping the tears from his eyes after another few hours of crying. Little Amelia looked at the ground and messed with her white nightgown, "It's just…whenever you look at me you start crying…because I look like mommy," Amelia answered causing her father's eyes to widen as she continued, "Ever since she left you've been so sad; you always are out of the house or crying and me being around only makes it worse,"

Amelia looked up at her father with tears brimming her eyes, "If you really want me to I'll leave forever; if I leave then you won't be reminded of mom anymore and you'll be happy." She declared. Before she could even breathe, Arthur knelt down and pulled the little girl into a hug as fresh tears ran down his cheeks, "You're not going anywhere poppet," he whispered.

Amelia's eyes widened as she looked up at her father, "It's true, you do remind me of Emily, but if you leave it won't make me happy it will only make me even sadder." He said, "You're all I have left, and as long as you're here with me, it will give me a reason to move forward and keep living," he placed his hands on Amelia's cheeks, "Don't you dare think for a moment that you are causing me pain, if anything you're saving me from it; promise me you'll stay here and keep me safe like your mother did."

Amelia finally allowed her own tears to flow as she hugged her dad as tightly as she could, "I love you daddy," she sobbed. "I love you too," Arthur whispered back.

Amelia smiled at that fond memory and faced Feli, "This may seem sudden, but I think I have an idea that will help you," she said. "What is it?" Feli asked. "You're just gonna have to trust me; meet me in the tea room on the second floor in twenty minutes," she said with a wink. Feli was silent for a minute until he nodded in agreement; he felt that he could trust his new friend, he felt that with all his heart.

Fifteen minutes later, Amelia sat in the location she had specified; if everything went well then Operation 'Get the Brothers to Make Up' would be a smashing success. She had told both Feli and Lovino to meet her here and once they were in place, it would be smooth sailing. Right on schedule both Feli and Lovino entered the tea room from different doors. The two creatures stared at each other in confusion and Amelia quickly went and closed the doors so no one could slip out, "What are you doing?" Feli asked. "What the hell is going on?!" Lovino demanded.

Amelia faced them with her hands on her hips, "You two are going to sit here and have a little heart-to-heart talk," she answered, "Both of you are clearly at fault here since you have no idea how the other really feels; that ends now. I want both of you to sit down here and tell your side of the story and don't try to hide anything cause I'll know." She said, "Now sit," she ordered, pointing to two chairs in the room.

Feli and Lovino reluctantly complied; something about the evil look in her eye told them that they should do what she said. The two brothers avoided eye contact and Amelia sat down on the couch that was between the two chairs, "Alright Feli, you go first; are you actually scared of Lovino?" she asked.

Feli fidgeted, it was time to come clean: "Yes…I am afraid…" he answered. Lovino snorted as if to say 'no shit', but Amelia could see the pang of hurt in his eyes; but that pang disappeared when Feli continued, "But I'm not afraid of Lovino," The beast looked at his brother in confusion, "I'm afraid of the other Lovino, the monster that takes over my brother and hurts people. I'm afraid that one day he'll come and hurt all my friends, but most of all…"

Feli paused as tears came to his eyes, "I'm afraid that the next time the other one takes over…the real Lovino won't be able to come back! My real brother is mean but he's still my brother; he's always taken care of me and I still love him with all my heart," Feli's tears were starting to fall onto the floor, "I don't want to lose my brother to that monster; I want him to stay here with me, I don't want to be alone! But most of all I want him to be free from that monster that's taking over him!" he cried as his body shook.

Lovino could only stare at Feli in shock; that was how his brother truly felt? All this time…he was afraid of losing him? After a few moments of silence, Feli began to calm down Amelia turned to Lovino and nodded; it was his turn now.

Lovino sighed, "I never knew you felt that way Feli," he said, "I'm surprised you're worried about me at all," This caused Feli to look at him in confusion, "All these years we've been trapped here…I always thought that you hated me for what I did," Lovino continued. Feli looked like he was about to protest but Amelia gave him a look that told him to keep quiet.

"On that night all our lives were ruined, and all because of me; I was an idiot and because of me, everyone I care about is suffering with me and they didn't even do anything wrong!" Lovino clenched his paw into a fist, "But the one who is suffering the most is you Feli; all because of my stupid mistake you've been turned into a wolf, you're trapped in this god forsaken prison, and that damn potato-bastard you love so much is trapped in that god damn mirror! I avoided you all this time just to spare you from looking at the one person who single handedly ruined your life…I lash out at everyone who talks to me because I'm sure that deep down they hate me, who wouldn't? Because of my arrogance we're probably going to be miserable forever; if I could, I would tell that damned woman who cursed us to let you and all the others go and let me suffer alone. It was my mistake and no one, especially you Feli, deserves to be stuck like this." He said.

The next thing Lovino knew, Feli had jumped on him, hugging him as best he could, "I've never hated you fratello, no one hates you," he said as tears continued to flow freely down his face, "I'm so sorry I kept everything from you, promise me that you'll never feel that way again," he said.

Lovino felt something warm prick the corners of his eyes as he hugged the wolf back, "I'm sorry too…Feli," he whispered. Amelia smiled and stood up, "I think I'll leave you two alone now," she said and headed towards the door. "Amelia," Lovino called causing Amelia to stop and turn around, "…Grazie Amelia…for everything," he said. Amelia smiled and gave him a wink, "No problem," she said causing Lovino to turn a light shade of pink.

As Lovino continued to hug his brother his heart began to feel lighter; he could feel his earlier doubts beings erased at the speed of light. Was this…what hope felt like? Even though the feeling was still small, Lovino had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, his life would take a turn for the better.

SO... MUCH... FLUFF! SQUEEEEEEE! X3

I actually found it really interesting writing those speeches! It was like I was stepping into their psyche! That flashback with Amelia and Arthur almost made me cry when I was writing it...I can be pretty cruel to myself sometimes!

Anyway now that the family's back together I believe Lovino has enough feelings and gratitude for Amelia that next will be the library scene and then it will be smooth sailing! (I'm actually REALLY looking forward to the reunion scene when the curse is broken; it's gonna be so fluffy!)

I'll try to update this faster now that the hard stuff is hopefully out of the way now so tell me what you think!

In other words: Review!
