Oh. My. Gelato. I haven't been on here in forever! I know anyone who was following this story has to hate me right?! I don't even have a valid excuse, just a huge case of writers block! Well, for those who still read, I'll continue.
RECAP! So you all don't have to go back:
Kay, so Alfred and Lovina used to date, but then Lovina found Alfred making out with her enemy ( Which isn't necessarily Lovina's enemy because she thinks that sounds silly, but rather someone she dislikes) And then she broke up with him and proceeded to cry. In the process, she stressed herself out so much that she knocked herself out. Luckily, she was caught by Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, a kind hearted, silly, closet nerdy junior Spaniard with these adorable forest green eyes and an accent to die for. Over the few days, the two have grown very fond of each other and I''m pretty sure they like each other, but I'm also sure Lovina's having a pretty hard time letting go of Alfred too. ( What do I know? I'm just the hands writing whats going on in my brain.) Even if they don't know it, everyone else does. Also, Feliciano is having trouble with what he feels about Monika. He hates the men that come after her. All he wants is to hold her and keep them away! What is he feeling?! ( Oh, oblivious Feli.). One more thing... OH! And Julia likes Daniel. Alot. But he's " In love with" Annelise. The prim and proper Austrian musician. And Francis is still a perv. Also, they were all last seen taking talent placement test and so I guess this chapter or the other'll be the results and other stuff. So yeah, leggo!
I own nothing!
Antonio and crew walk into Francis, Sadik, and his' dorm and all flop on the floor, couch, or chairs exhausted. Julia turned on the radio and Panic!At the disco's "I Constantly Thank God For Esteban" began playing through the speakers. Julia then flopped back onto the couch with a
" Ugh! I'm exhausted!" She exclaimed, getting slight murmurs of agreement to those who would. They all sat in a comfortable silence for about, 20 minutes as the music played, before Julia decided that they should all get a bit more comfy. She groaned a bit, looking at the clock, before standing up.
"Well, what do you say we all change into something comfy and meet up back here, eh? Its 4:00pm on Friday after all. No curfew." The albino stated. Francis sat up.
" Yeah, sounds like a plan. Julia, you left some pj's here. They're in my drawer. Lemme know if you need any- nope, too lazy for perversion. Just leave me be." And with that, the French teen flopped back onto the chair. Julia blinked, before heading back to his room to change. She returned to see that Francis changed into some fancy foreign purple t-shirt with some plain black gym shorts ( He claims he was too tired to find the other half of his clothes) and was making himself a snack, Monika and Feli left to change, but Antonio and Lovina were still on the floor. Antonio left to change and was now wearing his red hoodie with a black tank top and red gym shorts, and had plopped back onto the couch sleeping, but Lovina was still wearing her school clothes. The small Italian rolled in her sleep to where she was curled in a ball and Antonio ( Who probably hadn't even noticed Lovina was on the couch when he collapsed) had thrown his arms around her thinking she was Senor Tigre, his giant stuffed tiger that he thinks Francis and Julia don't know he sleeps with. Julia was about to aww, when she caught Francis' eye.
" Shhh, just get Lovi. I'll get the Tiger." He whispered, placing his sandwich and pepsi on the counter. Julia waited till he returned and then they quickly but gently switched the two out. Lovina remained in her curled up state, sighing and furrowing her eyebrow a bit at the sudden coldness. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in the air, and that Julia was carrying her. She looked down and saw Antonio sleeping and was about to say something, red creeping into her cheeks, when Julia shushed her.
" Come on, we're all gonna get changed and come back here." Julia said. Lovina nodded and looked back once more at Antonio. The Spaniard whimpered and was reaching out. Francis placed Senor Tigre into his arms and Antonio sighed, cuddling the toy. Lovina smiled a bit thinking 'Cute' before catching herself and blushing. Julia chuckled at both of them taking Lovina out the room. When they were in the hall, Lovina looked at her.
" You can put me down bastard. I have feet." Julia complied. Once Lovina stretched, they began to walk in a comfortable silence. They entered Lovina's empty dorm ( Maddie went to see her parents for the weekend and kick Alfred's ass a little, while Emilia went with hers to celebrate Tino's birthday.) and Julia sat on Lovina's bed as the Italian changed.
" So, you think Antonio's cute sleeping Lovi?" Julia asked. Lovina, who was in the middle of taking off her shirt, when she squeaked, tripping over her bassoon case. Julia laughed as Lovina removed her shirt all the way, red faced.
" NO I didn't! I just was... surprised because I was in the air is all!" The girl claimed, pulling a blue tank and yellow shorts on. She threw her hoodie and converse back on before walking out the room. Julia rolled her eyes. 'Sure it was just that' she thought. The two returned to find everyone asleep again. Monika and Feli we're cuddling, and Lovina in her drained state, climbed right back into Antonio's arms. The Spaniard still didn't move. Julia sighed. 'I wish I had a cuddle buddy' She thought. She looked over at Francis, who was eating his sandwich and sat down next to him. Francis sipped his pepsi and looked at his crestfallen friend. He looked at her, seeming to get what she was feeling. He then stood and grabbed her shoulder. Julia looked at him and he noticed the tears in her ruby eyes. She looked exhausted too.
" Come on." He said standing her up. Julia blinked at him.
" I know you're tired. And I'm not Daniel but we can still cuddle." Francis said. And Julia followed him to the other couch, mouth agape, two tears falling. She couldn't have wished for a better friend at the moment. And with that, she fell asleep in his arms.
Antonio opened his eyes. He glanced at the clock. 6:15 pm. Wow, were they tired. He tried to get up, but noticed he couldn't move his arms. He looked down to see Lovina. The small girl was tucked in his arms asleep. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, before realizing some things.
Lovi was in his arms
Lovi was asleep
Lovi looked very beautiful asleep as well as awake
Lovi was in his arms
LOVI was IN HIS arms!
" Que?!" Antonio exclaimed, flailing as his face turned red. Lovina woke and squeaked as she fell out of Antonio's arms and off the couch.
'Wait...ANTONIO'S ARMS?!'
" Bastard! What the hell do you think you're doing?! Why the hell am in your arms?!" Lovina yells.
"I-I-IIIIII I don't know. Mios Dios, Mios Dios, MIOS DIOS! ¿Por qué demonios estoy flipando tanto! Gosh ella era tan lindo! NO Antonio no es tuyo !La amo , pero demasiado rápido demasiado rápido! ¡Oh, no , me estoy volviendo loco ! Respire Antonio ! Respire Antonio ! DIOS MÍO ! No puedo respirar!" Antonio began hyperventilating while Lovina was still wondering how she ended up in his arms and trying to deny that she liked it. The two hadn't noticed that the others woke and we're watching them slightly amused. Francis noticed Antonio was really freaked out and while Julia went to Lovina, Francis took Antonio to the showers at the end of the hall. Antonio busted into the doors, throwing off his hoodie and tank, and immediately ran for the showers turning on the cold water. At first he leaned against the wall trying to breathe, but then Antonio began punching the wall, finding he couldn't breathe. Francis sighed knowing why it freaked Antonio out so much. Antonio has had girlfriends before, yes, and he sure knows how to rock someone's world with his charm,accent, personality, and body, but any one he's had can tell you; The guy is a complete ball of nerves. Those who dated him always ended up breaking up with him because any time they were really close or about to kiss, Antonio freaked out. Poor guy kinda has an anxiety disorder with intimacy. They never understood that though and it kinda pissed Francis off.
Francis snapped out of his thoughts and went to help Antonio, who was dry heaving now. He rushed over pulling off his silk t-shirt to reveal a purple tank top. He rubbed circles on his bare back as Antonio tried to breathe.
" In and out mon ami. Just relax. In and out." Francis coached Antonio soothingly. Eventually the Spaniard relaxed, sliding down the wall, breathing shakily, but even. Francis sat down with him, silently thanking the Gods that Antoino was alright and that the water hadn't gotten on him too much. It missed his hair and shoulders, luckily enough. Antonio, however, was a different story. The Spaniard was shorter than Francis by about 3 inches, making him the perfect height it seemed for all the water to hit him when he showered. The boy now had wet curls plastered to his head and was shivering slightly.
" Better mon ami?" Francis asked. Antonio nodded, running a shaky hand through his hair. The curls just fell back in his eyes.
" I don't... I don't get it. I like her, so much.. But I saw her in my arms and I just... I liked it alot, which is new for me, but I don't know I just... I..." Antonio's breath began to become uneven again and tears were in his eyes. 'I am so not about to have both mes amis upset today' Francis thought looking at the younger boy with his head in his hands, dog tag necklace swinging. Antonio was violently shivering now and his left knuckle was bruised from punching the wall. Francis stood and grabbed Antonio's arms. Antonio was still shivering as he stared at him. Francis then held his friend the best he could all while crooning words to him in sloppy Spanish. He remembers how when Antonio ( Being the easiest to dare and the only one who was loyal enough to do anything anyone asked) would get hurt doing something and the three would walk in with a crying Antonio, both slightly shaking themselves, his father would grumble and turn back to his soccer and beer, but his mom would come and hold him and coo in Spanish to him, immediately calming the Spaniard. When she died, Antonio had no one who would do that for him. He was 13, but he still loved it and it still relaxed him. It crushed him to realize that would never be again. Julia and Francis hated seeing that. So the two learned three different phrases each so Antonio wouldn't ever have to miss it. Francis said his three as he calmed his shaking friend.
"Su querida bien."
" No el estrés."
"Estoy aquí"
He repeated those three phrases soothingly, and eventually, Antonio relaxed. The Spaniard was sneezing, but he wasn't shivering anymore. Francis handed him his hoodie and tank. Antonio put his tank on as Francis put his shirt back on, and the two walked back to his dorm. When they entered the room they found Lovina, Monika, Julia, and Feli playing monopoly. Julia groaned as Lovina cheered taking her money.
"Sì bastardi ho tutti i soldi! Haha!" Lovina exclaimed. Antonio chuckled, thinking 'Cute'. Lovina and the others turned, surprised. Lovina ran up and hugged him, surprising the Spaniard.
" Don't scare me like that. You sounded like you were having a panic attack dammit!" She scolded lightly. Antonio looked surprised at Francis, before slowly hugging back.
" I'm sorry Lovi. I won't do it again." Antonio replied. Honestly, at the moment, he couldn't tell whether that was a lie or not.
"Why the hell are you wet?" Lovina said, parting from Antonio. The latter stammered as he tried to find the words. Julia had a quick eye conversation with Francis, before her eyes glinted in realization knowing all that happened. She looked at the two before clearing her throat.
" Well, its... 7:00 on a Friday, what do you say we all have a weekend sleepover?! I gotta Karaoke machine AND movies!" Julia exclaimed.
" I have snacks!" Francis added
" Si! I have tomatoes!" Antonio said. And with that, let the chaos commence!
Lovina woke up on Monday morning. She looked around at her dorm room, and smiled a bit, remembering her fun sleepover weekend. After Francis returned with Antonio, things really got fun. They had to leave on Sunday morning though. Apparently there were rules. Dammit Julia... Though, she really wants to know why Antonio started freaking out. And why he was wet... Julia kept distracting her, but she could still remember that look in Antonio's eyes. His green eyes had like a look similar to... Want. But it seemed buried deep by something. It kind of looked a little like... Fear or anxiety. Lovina shook her head. 'Well, you know I'll figure that out.' Lovina thought and went to shower.
Antonio walked up to the school, feeling slightly out of it. He felt heavy, and his nose was stuffed and it was really cold. He was walking only partly listening to Francis, when he all of a sudden his head really hurt and he slid to the ground. He looked up to see he'd walked straight into the door railing. Francis was staring at him concerned.
" Antonio, are you alright today? You've been really quiet mon ami." The Frenchman said squatting down to help him up. Antonio looked at his friend's hand, dazed before grabbing it.
"Si, si." Antonio said, accent slightly heavier than usual. The two walked in to see a large crowd of students surrounding the doors of the auditorium. 'Why are they so loud?' Antonio thought, headache getting worse. Francis cheered, pulling Antonio into the crowd. Antonio let himself be pulled along, feeling over stimulated and dizzy.
" The results are in Antonio! Aren't you excited?!" Francis asked. Antonio could only nod woodenly. As he searched for his name, the room started noted everyone else's names before his.
Francis Bonnefoy: Drawing, Dance, Culinary arts
Julia Beildschmidt: Singing, Instrumental, Drawing
Monika Beildschmidt: Singing, Culinary, Instrumental
Feliciano Vargas: Culinary, Drawing, Singing
Lovina Vargas: Blurrrr... .
Now the room was really spinny. 'Say... did I pass my name? I dunno....' Antonio placed his head onto the nearest shoulder. That shoulder happened to be fairly small and had a cool leather jacket on it.
" Che cosa?! Hey bastard, who do you think you ar- Antonio?" Lovina looked at the Spaniard. The usually tan boy was pale, and his cheeks were red and exerted. He had deep bags under his eyes. The boy was teetering from side to side. Francis and the others now noticed too.
" Toni? You don't look so good..." Julia said. Antonio shook his head, regretting the dizziness that followed.
" No no... I'm..." Antonio was cut off as his world went black. The last thing he heard was 'Che cosa?!' before everything went dark and quiet.
Alrighty! How was that? I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo sorry! i dunno why but I just couldn't find inspiration. If anyone is still reading, I posted another chapter with it! No cliffie's today! Also, I don't mean to insult anyone in anyway when I'm talking about Antonio's fear of intimacy. Its a real type of anxiety disorder that I looked up and I thought it'd fit well with his story. I don't really know much, but if you do, please feel free to tell me how to portray it! Thanks in advance!
