Tomorrow rolled around and Gilbert was expecting Toni and Alice making out or at least cuddling in the halls, or some shit. But throughout the entire meeting (he was watching from a window.) they didn't so much as glance at each other, let alone talk.

Alice was having her soul focus on taking notes, she brushed off ever comment and attempt that Francis or Alfred would say to make her react but she was acting… like an adult. It was as though she grew up in the sense she wouldn't stoop down to their level and argue back. This for some odd reason scared him Gilbert slightly. Not completely though, he was too awesome for that. But for some reason it was like she was replaced with someone else. Maybe her sister took her spot? But that didn't make any sense because Ireland took no lip from anyone, and she was also sitting in the meeting a few seats away from the Brit.

Antonio was so focused on the speakers that he block out everyone else and it was impossible to get a hold of him. Francis tried, Russia tried, Portugal tried, even Romano. Every attempt failed, leaving the Prussia oddly worried. His best friend is ignoring everyone and his other friend is growing up? No, no this isn't right.

He needed to fix this. So he sent a text.

"What makes you think I co-"

"Look, do you want them together or not?"

"…Yeah. But-"

"No buts! Come on! It's the only way!"

"Gilbert did you seriously make me come all this way away from the hotel just to tell me to go to the hotel and stalk-"

"Its not stalking!"

"following someone and noting every move is stalking."

"Its not stalking because you are going to interact."

"…You're an idiot." Lovino sighed. "you are going to make me follow her, invite her over, get her drunk, so she can spill all her emotions, just so I can give you information on Toni."

"Yes!"

"Remind me why you cant do this?"

"'Cause! She's your mommy." He teased

"say that again I fucking dare you…"

"Alice is your mo—" Gilberts sentence was abruptly stopped by a fist punching his nose. "You just punched me!"

Romano smile, "yes, yes I did. Now what's in it for me?"

"Sorry, what?"

"What do I get out of this deal? You get information, for your master plan, and I get left in the dark until you need something." He paused crossing his arms. "What's in it for me?" he repeated.

"Is seeing your family get back together not enough?"

"One, they aren't my family, and two no they will probably last a month before shit starts again."

"Well, one, Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb, and two, yeah shit always happens. But this isn't the olden days. Not like they are going to fight again."

Lovino sighed, Gilbert had a point. "I still want something out of this stupid idea. You don't even know if this will work!"

"My plan will work!" he laughed, "and how about a kiss from the awesome me?"

"In your dreams." Lovino said cockily.

"But a kiss is supposed to wake you up. So in your dreams." He smirked at seeing the blush on his face grow.

"You're so gross… And I am not a princess!"

"You're right. You're Mein Prinzessin~"

"You're an idiot." Lovino stated before walking away, not even wanting anything from the deal, just trying to delay gilberts plan. After all he didn't want to stalk anyone anytime soon.

Lovino was in the hotel looking around for a certain blonde, only to be met with a certain brunet. "Ah, Lovi~! Have you seen Gilbert? Francis and I were going to go out for drinks, but the BTT wouldn't be complete without him! So have you seen him?"

"The.. BT..? What the fuck is that?"

"Bad touch trio!"

Lovino stared at him with the expression that read 'are you that stupid.' "n-.. no I haven't seen the potato bastard." Romano said after a while, lushing lightly at the memory of what happened moments ago.

"You sure?" he asked questioning, "Because he said that he was going to be with you for a little bit after the meeting."

"we-well.. That was a while ago." He said stammering, before something blonde caught the corner of his eye. "Ah, ciao! I got to go!" he said before moving past the taller brunet, leaving him confused.

Romano caught up with England in the elevator, she looked like a wreck that's been crying all day. Lovino didn't really know how to approach her; he wasn't that great at comforting others. "E-England?" Shit no going back now, "Are you alright?"

She stiffened at her name and looked like she was holding in more tears. "no…" she whispered quietly. Lovino was shocked, this is the girl that almost never cried in front of anyone, and refused to show any emotions that would qualify as weak because it wasn't lady like.

Lovino didn't think, he just pulled the girl into his arms and gave her a hug "It's okay." He felt her shift and wrap her arms around him and cry more. He took out his phone and texted the Prussian "Change of plans" Before putting it away and massaging the girls back whispering that all will be okay.
