Yay chapter two! Please tell me what you think! Enjoy!^^
Lovino's POV
The next morning I woke up before the sun was even up and decided to make breakfast for all three of us. Today Feliciano and Enzio had the day off so I knew Enzio would stay at home while Feliciano went off to the cliffs to draw before trying to sell his artwork.
I hated seeing him get turned away then come home dragging his small easel and overflowing sketch book not having sold a single thing. Unfortunately I still had to go work at the docks but maybe I'd get lucky and nothing would come in meaning I could leave early.
So there I was fixing eggs and bacon as my two younger siblings walked in and immediately went about setting the table and pouring fresh milk into each of our glasses. I served the food and we all sat down to enjoy our meal before I left for work.
"Fratello do you think your boss will let you come home early?" Feliciano asked pleading me with his large gold eyes
"I hope so. That bastard works me to the bone and I hardly ever get the day off so he kind of owes me." I answered before getting up to put the dishes away.
"Lovino let me do that you go to work. Maybe if you get there early you'll be able to leave early." Enzio told me with a smile before I hugged both of my brothers and headed out the door.
When I get to the docks it's not very busy but I don't mind and simply take my time helping some merchants unload their wears as I watch the sun rise over the town. It wasn't till around noon when we saw the first ship.
There really wasn't anything special about it as it anchored just outside the port and sent a rowboat towards the dock. A few ships do this kind of thing when they only need a few supplies or can't read a stupid map properly.
So everyone at the docks waited for the small boat to get closer.
Inside the boat were two people both of them were blonde one with acid green eyes and bushy eyebrows and the other also had green eyes and wore a blue and white scarf.
Before they docked another boat sailed into the port and headed for the docks while the two in the rowboat sped up and docked first. The blonde with the dumb eyebrows jumped out of the boat and ran up to me
"Do you understand English?" he asked quickly as I simply nodded
"Where would I find a man named Giovanni Argo?" he demanded I pointed towards the town before the man sped off only to be followed by a group of people from the larger ship who asked the same question.
Again I pointed towards the town and went back to work till my boss yelled at me
"Hey Vargas aren't those two blonde men from the rowboat running towards your house?!" he pointed out before I finally noticed the Jolly Roger flying from the ship the two blondes came from and started running after them.
I was a pretty fast sprinter so I got there first and entered through the back door. Luckily for me both Feliciano and Enzio were still inside
"Ve~ fratello why are you here? Did you get off early?!" he asked hopefully
"No I didn't. Some men are heading towards the house after talking with your boss Feli! I think they might be pirates so you two need to hide and shut the fuck up!" told them as I helped them into the small room under the house we had in case of emergencies.
I was about to join them when the door was kicked open and the two blonde men from the rowboat rushed in and started searching everywhere and even dumped the box of tomatoes everywhere.
"All that's here is a box of tomatoes with that Argo guy's name stamped on it." The one in the scarf told eyebrows
"You mean the 'priceless treasure' he was talking about was a damned box of tomatoes?!" he screeched as I came out of hiding holding nonno's shot gun
"Get the fuck out of my house you dirty assed pirates!" I yelled before a gun went off and all I felt was a searing white pain bloom in my chest before I felt the cold bite of steal slice into my abdomen.
I don't remember much of what happened after that but I do remember eyebrows screaming at scarf boy before they hauled my heavily bleeding form into the tomato box, sealed the lid, then left before I blacked out from the pain and blood loss.
Antonio's POV
I was waiting on my ship when I noticed that asshole Arthur Kirkland and his first mate Daan pull away from the dock and head back to their own ship. I didn't really think anything of it till my own men boarded supporting the box of tomatoes Giovanni Argo, a local restaurant owner, had promised me.
As we were pulling away from the dock two boys came running screaming that pirates had broken into their house and had done something to their older brother. My Italian isn't very good so I'm guessing that's what they said I don't really care.
When we were finally out to sea I grabbed a crowbar and pried the lid off of the box and nearly lost my stomach contents.
Inside the box was a boy about seventeen with a gaping bullet hole in his chest and a large gash through his stomach clearing showing off his insides.
I was about to ask my men what they hell they had brought me till I saw one of Arthur's calling cards, a small version of the British Union Jack. A small bit of movement caught my eye and I noticed that the boy was still alive so I called of the ship's doctor and quickly took the Italian to my own quarters.
I really don't know why I decided to give up my bed for a soon to be dead person but all I could think at that moment was that I needed to get him a comfortable as possiable. When Yao finally walked into the room followed by his daughter Mei and the cook Elizabeta I was shoved out of my own quarters so they could tend to the dying boy in my bed.
After I was thrown out of my room I noticed the trail of blood leading from my door all the way back to the tomato box so I ordered on of my men to clean the red liquid from the planks of the ship before walking over to the crate.
'Did the boy work for Giovanni?' I wondered to myself trying to remember the last time I had seen the man a few months back.
We had been sitting in the restaurant while he was barking orders in Italian to a new cook he had hired saying the boy's grandfather wasn't doing well health wise so Gio had given him a job.
The boy in the kitchen I believe had auburn hair, gold slightly shut eyes, and a curl on his left side, now that I think about it the boy in the box kind of looked like Giovanni's cook.
But why would Arthur shoot the cook and stuff him into a box? I contemplated the facts for several hours in my office till a light knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.
Opening the door I found Mei on the other side
"Forgive me Captain but papa wanted me to come get you." She told me with a slight bow as I followed her back into my room. When she opened the door the first thing I noticed was the strong sent of blood that hung in the air
"Ah Captain we were able to get the bullet out and sew up the wounds but he's lost an alarming amount of blood and is very weak.
"He'll most likely not survive the night but if he does there is a very high chance his wounds will become infected and I currently do not have any herbs or medicine to help him if that happens. I would not advise taking him out of this room so sorry for the inconvenience." Yao said with a small bow of his own
"It's fine you three are dismissed." I sighed as both Mei and Yao bowed again and Elizabeta told me she'll come back later to check on the boy.
After they had gone I noticed that the bed was a complete mess, so carefully taking the Italian into my arms I stripped the bed to the mattress, which thankfully hadn't been stained, and put fresh sheets on it and laid him back down.
Once he was comfortable I climbed onto the other side of the bed to wait and see what the morning brought with it.
How did I do writing Antonio's point of view? Sorry if everyone is a little ooc I'm trying my best! Please review!^^
