AN: Here's the new chapter! It's Lovino's turn now I'm afraid. The poor Italian... That's why there is a lot of cursing in this chapter. The song is Are You With Me by SIXX:A.M.

Disclaimer: The song belongs to SIXX:A.M. and Hetalia belongs to Hidekaz Himaruya.


Lovino leaned back in his chair, waiting for the next speech to begin. This was so boring… Ugh. Couldn't they at least fucking get stuff done? They were here, so why not just-

He saw Feliciano take his phone out and check it. After a moment his brother put it up and met his eyes, giving him a familiar smile.

'You planning on singing again?'

Feli shrugged, his smile widening. 'Maybe…'

Lovino raised an eyebrow. 'Should I be worried…?'

'Nope.'

'... Like I'll really buy that.' Feli sounded one hundred percent like he was planning something. And it might involve him… 'Don't drag me into this.'

Before Feliciano could answer, Yao walked up to the podium. As the speech began, Feli gave him one last smile.

'We'll see.'


The meeting was reaching its last legs. There were only a few minutes left until the last ten and no one had gotten caught. Maybe Feliciano would wait until the next one…

His brother moved in the corner of his eye, setting his phone in his lap and tapping it several times. He pulled earphones out. Nope, this was it. Once the earplugs were in his ears it took only seconds for Ludwig to call him out.

"Feliciano, again?"

The potato bastard definitely sounded like he was fed up with this bullshit. It wasn't that Lovino wasn't thankful for the breaks, but they could get… annoying. Very annoying, very quickly. Especially the song Feliks had done. That one had given him a headache.

Feliciano smiled, though it was apologetic like last time. "Sí."

Ludwig huffed and the meeting went on for another five minutes before the German sat down and nodded.

He watched Feliciano put the phone on the table and press play.

In the first two seconds of the song Lovino immediately knew what it was and he was not happy. His head whipped around and his eyes narrowed. 'Did you take a song from my phone?' he asked in near disbelief. 'How the hell-'

'You listen to it often enough.'

The all too familiar guitar started, followed by Feli starting to sing. "Laughing like we're crazy
Nothing mattered
Nothing fazed me
We were younger then-"

He glanced at Lovino, giving him a small smile.

The older Italian frowned. 'I'm not singing Feliciano.'

'You might.' "-So much younger then
Everything seems rotten through
The eyes of the forgotten-"

Lovino averted his eyes. He felt his cheeks start to heat up. Stupid fucking brothers stealing your songs… He knew that no one else knew this was one of his favorite songs, but Feli did. God knew if the American found out. The gloating would never end.

Wait… Alfred would recognize this song wouldn't he? Shit fucking- 'I am not fucking singing Feliciano.'

"And we were dumber then
So much dumber then-"

His brother turned towards him. It wasn't a lot, only slightly. His face became uncharacteristically serious. "Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found-"

'No one is going to make fun of you Lovino.'

'Yeah they fucking will.'

'No they won't. Come on, it's not that bad.'

'To you it's not.'

'Please. I know you want to sing it.'

He stopped tapping his foot. 'No, damn it.'

"And are you with me
Are you with me now-" Feliciano started smiling again. Though this was one of Lovino's favorite songs, he did like it too. And maybe the lyrics were a bit too fitting. "Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now-"

Feliciano was almost facing him now. 'Stop it fratello. I am not singing.'

'I'll use these lines in context if I have to.'

'What-'

"Find the places that scare you-" Feli's smile turned almost into a smirk as he sang the words, "Come on I dare you-"

Lovino looked up, frustrated. 'You're daring me? Really?'

Feliciano's nodded ever so slightly and he sang, "Are you with me?"

There was a pause. Damn it, he couldn't just back down. He bit his lip and then fit into the song perfectly, joining his brother. "Are you with me?"

In the next pause Lovino groaned and he wanted to slap everyone for fucking staring at him.

'You know this.'

Feli was right… he did. He practically knew it by heart and it wasn't like the lyrics changed much anyway. He felt himself go redder when he started to sing the next verse. "The years they took their toll
And all the things I can't control
Come back to haunt me now-" He huffed. "-Almost taunt me now. What's left to be afraid of
We found out what we are made of
And we've come this far-"

Feliciano nodded next to him, being his stupid encouraging self. Though he couldn't say he didn't appreciate it…

"-We both have the scars." He looked towards his brother. As the guitar grew louder, he had to fight back a smile. "Have I ever judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me-"

To his relief Feli joined him. He thought his brother would just leave him to sing the rest of it by himself. "Are you with me now-" Feliciano dropped out and he furrowed his eyebrows, confused.

'Keep going.'

'Okay…' "Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long-"

Feli joined again. "Are you with me now-" 'drop out now.'

He did so. Feliciano sang the next lines, his smile widening. "Find the places that scare you-" 'now back in.'

He opened his mouth to sing again, but this time he was smiling. "Come on I dare you." Now Feli didn't have to tell him what to do. He dropped out on his own.

"Are you with me?"

They were switching now. What the hell had he gotten himself into? They were starting to pick up after Alfred and Matthew. "Are you with me?"

Each time they sang the line it was a little different. Sometimes it was higher, other times a little lower. "Are you with me?"

"Are you with me?" To his surprise he actually sang it like the guy did on the recording, higher and lower, having fun with it. His brother was kind of right. It wasn't too bad… Sort of. He could still feel everyone else watching him. Which… who was he kidding, it was pretty creepy. "Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found and are you with me?"

The music slowed down. Shit he had nearly forgotten about this part. There was a short pause and he had the urge to see what everyone's expressions were saying. Shocked? Probably. But… he knew that he probably shouldn't look. "Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long-"

Feliciano sang a bit softer than him, knowing the way the song went much more than Lovino would give him credit for. "Find the places that scare you-"

The music picked back up, the guitar returning. "Are you with me now-"

"Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long-"

They joined, following whatever pattern they had made. "Are you with me now-"

"Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you-"

He was getting way too into this one. But damn it he loved this song. "Oh!
Come on I dare you-"

They joined, singing, "Are you with me?" several times before the song started to fade.

When it was over, Lovino had to look at everyone else. Yeah, they were definitely shocked. He wanted to laugh at the potato bastard's face, but then he saw Antonio, who was practically beaming. He looked away, hiding his face. He could almost hear it now, the 'Lovi I didn't know you could sing!' or god forbid he call him his… 'tomato'. That was so embarrassing and he already had enough of that right now.

'That was good fratello.'

'Thanks… now shut up.'

Feliciano grinned at him and they waited for Ludwig to dismiss the meeting. It couldn't come soon enough for the older twin.

Though, surprisingly... No one made fun of him about it afterwards. Alfred hardly said anything about the song being his either. He supposed it was a start.
