The most recent review, from , gave me motivation to finish this chapter and thank you for all your compliments. I was squealing at it and laugh at the end, I am happy being single but sad how many people seem a bit... something. I get that couples really like each other but it can get annoying, very annoying.
And with the poll, 2P Romano's name will be Flavio for now on. It was quite close but yeah, it's now over.
Luckily, Toby is going to help Lovino and Antonio realize! But can Toby make it with an angered Lovino chasing him?
Chapter 9: Go, Toby, Go!
"Hey Antonio."
"Hm? Sí, Papa?"
"Are you putting that ring in that chain?"
"Oh, sí! Why do you ask, Papa?"
Papa stares at his hijo with one raised eyebrow. Papa knows that the ring should be used as a proposal rather than a necklace gift. He proposed to his hermoso wife with bouquets and in a way, a family dinner for her when they first met.
Antonio should be more like him a little. His hijo should propose to Romano so no competitors or nuisance will ty and take his true love.
"But aren't you going to do a proposal to Romano?"
Antonio tilts his head. "What's a proposal?"
Papa chuckles. He should have known that Antonio doesn't know important words like marriage, wedding, bride, groom, and making love. Of course, lovely Isabel told him no since she didn't want Antonio to stop enjoying his childhood, especially telling him about making love. It was something about being too inappropriate…
"Well, hijo," Papa begins. "A proposal is something that you ask to the love of your life to be with you forever and ever."
The store owner snorts in amusement.
Papa however stares at the store owner, instantly silencing him. Papa does have the face that can scare people but is actually curious of why the owner snorted. The married life is a wonderful thing that Papa could never trade. Though, there are a few too many people who don't seem to appreciate it or chose the wrong person to marry.
"Wow! Proposals sound really romantic! Roma would –oh no! Romano needs to be proposed! By me! And I have to marry him too!"
Papa smiles. He is glad his hijo understands. He knows Antonio has his "one love and only love" gift as he sees true love, not puppy love, in Antonio's eyes. Papa is also glad that this "Romano" boy accepts it and loves Antonio back.
Perhaps Papa should plan an all-around the world honeymoon when they are getting that legal and marriage age…
Hopefully Isabel will appreciate the plan.
"But, um… Papa…?"
"Sí hijo?"
"Can I borrow some money to pay for the ring?"
Papa chuckles, "Of course, hijo."
Toby is considered a very smart turtle. Though no human really knows the turtle's gender, Toby doesn't really care. But what Toby does care is that one his or her dearly beloved "parents" is going to actually make him into soup if this "rocket" skateboard doesn't go any faster…
"Come back, you fucking demone turtle! I'll rip that damn smug turtle face of yours! If anything happens to my anello, I'll make you into Chinese delicacy, turtle soup!"
Yup, Toby really needs more speed…
Mama can be scary…
Luckily, Toby knows more about the environment, making the chase and race a bit easier as Lovino keeps bumping into a few things.
However, Toby has underestimated the maximum speed of "Mama" as proven when Toby took the elevator, Mama somehow easily caught up by racing down a lot of stairs. Toby had to use one of the workers, Toris is the name, while the poor guy was talking to a very flamboyant student.
Mama helped Toris with ease though was "semi"-stopped by the flamboyant student. It fortunately gave Toby a 3 to 7 seconds advantage.
But now, Toby has to depend on luck and hopeful intelligence to find Antonio.
Hopefully Toby fully remembers where the church is. Even though it's nearby to the school, one wrong direction may cause the death of Toby. Mama is indeed merciless.
"Oh, when I get you, I'll crush your bones to dust and use your damn shell as a fucked up codpiece!"
Toby can only hope Antonio wasn't getting any gelato or ice cream… especially without Toby.
Antonio always chose gelato even though it's a tad bit more expensive than regular ice cream. He had plenty of money so he really didn't need to worry about money spending really. And Romano always did tell him that gelato is always the best and in his lovely and cute words, "ice cream is ice crap while gelato is crafted as it's given a damn shit."
Antonio didn't find Toby yet so he shouldn't have a full ice cream treat, just a snack.
Gilbert is protesting one of the workers to have beer ice cream while Francis is flirting with one of the female workers. This is just usual. The owner couldn't exactly kick them out since Francis did buy a good amount of either stocks or bonds on the ice cream store and is in a way, a somewhat owner of it.
Oh, and John is here!
"Gilbert, I seriously don't think they can legally make beer ice cream. And can't you just have one of those ice cream machines to do that for you?"
"Keine Chance! Beer ice cream is awesome enough that it should be public! So come on! You have to make beer ice cream!"
John rolls his eyes as he simply gets his ice cream, nut-free and anything that isn't birthday cake. He chose sorbet this time, blue raspberry it seems. However, it seems that when John grabbed the plastic cup filled with the blue sorbet, his phone rings.
With that, Francis stops flirting and Gilbert stops protesting and demanding. Both try to learn to listen.
Antonio believes it's mostly likely John's husband.
"Hello?" John answers. From what Antonio can hear, it's a deep voice or something that Francis leaves the worker and Gilbert leans in more. "Oh! Hey Dirk!"
Is Dirk the husband…?
"So, how's Jake? Is he still a great husband?"
Then, there is more phone mumbles.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm just getting sorbet… No, he can get his own. He may be my husband and bro but there's no way I'm serving his lazy and fat ass."
It looks like it's not the husband… Antonio can actually see the deflation of both Gilbert and Francis. But Gilbert seems to rise up in curiosity as the conversation goes. Francis just sits with Antonio with no ice cream, gelato, or sorbet. Francis does have his very own ice cream machine…
"Oh he'll come and visit you! He's just busy! …Yes, I'm making sure he doesn't become a complete fat ass. …No, it's not a sequel but it might earn one!"
"Hey, mon ami, do you think John's mari maybe is a writer? It sounds like that mysterious, attractive husband is making a manuscript or something." Francis whispers.
Antonio perks up. "Oh really? Juan's husband is a movie writer? How do you know?"
"Simple," John did say that he's making a manuscript, from what I heard, movie writers make the manuscript."
"Oh cool!"
John sits with Francis and Antonio while Gilbert follows. He hangs up and the Trio has no idea who the mystery caller. John chuckles a little as he sees the very curious trio of students. John takes a nice bite of his blue raspberry sorbet.
"Who the hell was that!" Of course, Gilbert asks first.
"No~ one~," John said teasingly and is definitely snickering at what he's doing. John is a nice teacher but he can be an imp with a huge "prankster gambit" when he gets to. "Why do you want to know?"
"Oh come now, mon professeur! You know how curious we are with you! You are indeed one of our favorite teachers in the school! You even did a prank on Mr. Thornton with nothing but a screwdriver and strings! Everyone was laughing about it, mon ami."
"It was April Fool's Day! Of course I'm going to celebrate it to the fullest!"
Gilbert scrunches his face a little. "Yeah… But it was a bit un-awesome of you giving me vinegar instead of real and free beer that time…"
"At least you weren't me, mon ami. I had a high-pitched voice during theatre class that I almost didn't get the main part because of it." Francis pouts and grumbles.
"Oh yeah! That was awesome! I loved that video! Even Jeanne was laughing her awesome ass off!"
Francis blushes. "Oh tais-toi."
"Oh yeah! Jeanne was laughing about it a lot! It was really funny too!"
Francis crosses his arms and glares at his friends and teacher. "How nice that you are ganging on a Frenchman, very beau Frenchman to be exact. I have you know that I have quite a few offered scholarships of cuisine and fashion."
"Hey, you're going to have awesome beer ice cream then, right?"
"Mon ami, you're the only one that would want ice cream that has beer in it…"
Antonio can't help but eat his gelato and giggle. Sundays are usually good days as he gets to eat ice cream with his friends and go to an open church with a nice priest who helped the marriage of his aunt and aunt-in-law. It's really nice. But…
"Hey, amigos, where's Toby?"
"Toby? Mon ami, do you really have to mention that turtle of yours now…" Francis groans. "Antonio, you may be a friend of mine but Toby isn't exactly…"
Antonio can't help but laugh. "Sí, sí, I get it. Toby isn't exactly the most accepting turtle and can bite… a lot."
"Define a lot, mon ami…"
But before Antonio could defend Toby, John's phone rings out loud once again. The Trio stares at him as John answers his phone. He actually looks at his phone screen and smiles. Gilbert and Francis leans forward with curiosity, easily knowing that it's most likely the husband. They try to get the name on the screen but John answers and puts it near his ear.
"It took you long enough, asshat."
All the Trio's eyebrows rose at this. Somehow, John answers the phone with an affectionate tone while insulting the mystery person… it must be the husband!
Antonio wouldn't insult his love but he had seen good television shows that married couples do that as in a way as affections. It was really weird, funny, and cute at the same time.
Francis moves closer and closer until he was side to side with John. He tries to remain unnoticed by John as he tries to hear the mystery person's voice that could be John's husband. Francis is smirking as it looks like he could hear the mystery voice.
Gilbert was somehow not leaning or moving closer to John but is smirking.
Antonio doesn't know why Gilbert isn't leaning and listening as John is indeed his favorite teacher. But then Antonio looks at where Gilbert is looking… Oh! It's Jeanne! No wonder Gilbert is snickering!
Jeanne has her arms crossed while staring down at Francis who is really near his teacher. Oh boy!
"Yeah, yeah, so I got a call from your brother and yes, we're visiting them. …No, we are not postponing the visit just because you don't want to."
"Ohohohohon! What's the matter, Jean? Trouble in paradise? I can help~."
John immediately goes red. "F-Francis!" He goes back to a very responding phone, "No, no, that's just an ex-student of mine, that's all! Yes, I'm telling the truth!"
Francis chuckles and is still oblivious that Jeanne is behind him. Both Antonio and Gilbert try to contain much of their laughter as Jeanne looks at Francis with disapproval. It got even funnier for them as Francis actually puts an arm around John's shoulders while flirting loud enough for the phone and Jeanne to hear.
"Damn it, Francis! Stop that! …No, he's not bothering me that bad and –Francis, quiet down, I'm trying to –Ugh!"
Antonio tries to keep eating his gelato to try and contain his giggles while Gilbert's head is down with one of his fists banging on the table. Jeanne shows more of her disappointment.
"But mon professeur, you must be feeling lovely all by yourself and here I am, all of me waiting for your order."
"My order to you, incubus," Francis freezes stiff as Jeanne continues to speak, "is to let your powers away of a committed and true husband as he was blessed by angels."
Francis immediately rips his arm away from John and stares at the disapproving Jeanne as Gilbert finally released all his contained laughter.
"J-Jeanne?! W-When–"
"I was here long enough to have my doubts of you being a normal human being is now perished. May le Créateur be merciless in his judgment." And Jeanne quickly walks away.
It took a few seconds before Francis hurriedly gets out of his seat as Jeanne exits out of the ice cream store. Francis stumbles and goes after Jeanne, shouting in French, while Antonio and Gilbert laugh about it. It is just so funny how Francis likes Jeanne!
John even chuckles a little bit before going back to his phone.
It's a nice and funny mood indeed.
"Damn, I can't wait to grow up and wear this shitty ring." Romano said. He's dangling the ring and looking at it a bit. "You better get the wedding ring right, too."
"Of course, Roma! I'll do everything for you!" Antonio coos.
Romano turns red and looks away. He is still dangling the ring in the air while Antonio smiles at his lovely Roma. He is so cute turning red~! Antonio is so feliz that he's going to marry his amor! He will love Romano forever and ever and a lot more too!
"…I want a big wedding…" Romano begins speaking. "I like big weddings since you get to do a lot of things in a wedding. Weddings can be a shit ton of work but the bigger the wedding is, the more family there be."
"You like family, Roma?"
"Of course, I like my damn family!" Romano yells out. He stares straight at Antonio's eyes. "Famiglia is one of the greatest wonders people can ever have! The have something inside that's damn similar to you and with that, it creates a shitty and a really, really long bond that said to last forever! Why the fuck would I hate that!"
Antonio blinks, surprised hwo pretty Romano made family sound! Antonio likes family too but Romano made it sound very magical! He likes that a lot!
Antonio can't wait to have a really, really, really big wedding with Romano and get married! But it's years away! Years are way too long! Oh, Antonio wants to marry Romano now! Or soon! Oh, when can Antonio marry Romano the earliest? Romano kind of said yes to have a wedding with him.
"Hey Tomato, do you have bad family people?" Romano asks, actually putting his necklace on. "Is that why you ask about liking family?"
"Oh, no! I just didn't know you like family that much, Romano! It's pretty cute! I really like that you like family too!" Antonio said with a big smile.
Romano's cheeks turn red again. But Romano doesn't say anything.
Here they are, on a nice part of Antonio's backyeard, just sitting down on a nice picnic blanket near the stone fountain with a stone tomato on top. They have a basket full of tomatoes that Antonio and Romano haven't eaten yet. Toby is just in his shell, taking a nice nap.
They don't have to worry about Antonio moving out and go fun far away from his love. They will sit around and talk about their big wedding that will happen sometime in the very, very long years.
"Since we'll be damn talking about the wedding, we need flowers. We are getting daisies, lots and lots of daisies! They are the flower thingy for Italy! I really want the... the greatness of Italia to show!"
"Ooh! Could we have carnations, too? They're the flower thingy for Spain!"
Romano nods. "Spain is not France so, okay! We will have Italian wine though! It's the best and only great wine in the world."
"And tomatoes! Lots and lots of yummy tomatoes!"
"Fuck yeah! And we will have the wedding in a church that has a big organ that's a damn big enough to take a whole wall! A-And all those pretty color light glasses..."
Antonio can't help but smile and think about those pretty colored light glasses in his church. They really are pretty to look at. He wants it in his wedding! Antonio doesn't know what an organ is but if Romano wants it, he'll have it! Romano always has good ideas!
"So, what do you want, Tomato? I can't be some bitchy control freak for our wedding. It's damn embarrassing to see it on TV. And I…" Romano looks away and stares at the ground. "I…want-you-to-be… happy…too…"
Antonio can't help but hug Romano!
"Oh Roma! You're too cute! Muy lindo! Of course, I'll be happy with anything! All I want is to have a marriage with you! And make you happy! I'll get you everything to make you happy!"
"SH-SHUT THE DAMN FUCK UP! STOP BEING A GODDAMN PUSHOVER AND WANT SOMETHING ELSE, DAMN IT! I MEAN IT! YOU BASTARD!"
Antonio laughs and hugs Romano tighter. Romano is so nice and sweet and really caring! Antonio loves him so much!
Romano never looks to see how pretty and nice he is. All Antonio wants to do is return Roma's love and make him the happiest person ever! But what could Antonio want in his big wedding that isn't Romano…?
Antonio looks at Toby, still taking his nap.
"Why the fuck are you looking at her for?"
"Hm? Oh! It's nothing!" Antonio answers. But then, he gets an idea. "Hey Romano! Can you wear a pretty white dress? My Mama has this really nice picture of her in a dress and Papa on their wedding day! She looks very, very pretty in that dress!"
"Isn't a white dress a wedding thing for girls? I have a dick you know." Antonio couldn't help but feel sad. He really did want to see Romano in a dress… "But… Since I told you to stop being a damn pushover and it is our wedding… I'll wear it."
"Really? You would? Yay~!" Antonio can't help but jump a little on his butt and feel so excited! Romano in a white dress is going to be so pretty and cute in their wedding! There's going to lots of people, lots of flowers, and cake! There has to be cake!
"So bastard," Romano begins and takes a tomato out of the basket, "What snacks should we get? We have to have lots of cannoli and chocolate and gelato and some tomatoes for the family. You can have your Spanish food for your family."
Antonio nods and Romano eats about five tomatoes really, really quickly. It's really nice for Mama and Papa to give some of their tomatoes, the best ones too. Antonio takes a tomato out of the basket and joins eating with Romano.
"Should… Should we have a wedding in a church, really? May we can go, um, outside…?"
"Why do you want to know, Romano?" Antonio asks while he has tomato in his mouth still. "Is there something wrong with a church? Do you not want to have a marriage in a church?"
"One of my shitty damn uncles is a stick-up his fucking ass priest that literally has no balls… I don't like him that much…"
"What do you mean he has no balls? Could he just buy another from a toy store or something?"
"It's… another type of balls…" Romano answers. "I don't know what the fuck they look like but I heard they're like family treasure."
"Really?"
"Yeah, they're like damn jewels or something."
"I wonder if I have those balls… Do you think I have those balls, Romano?"
"How the hell would I know! I have no fucking idea what they even look like!"
"Maybe Mama knows! Or Papa! Maybe Mama has those balls with the rest of our family jewelry! Maybe we can ask her about it later."
Romano nods his head. "Yeah, hot mamas do know some weird shit."
Antonio wonders what Romano means. Mama is a hot mama…? And maybe Mama knows more about something that Antonio doesn't know. Papa knows a lot of things too!
"Maybe we can have a wedding outside –wait! We can have it on the place where we first met! I remember that you were singing and–"
"–Thought Toby was a demon than a turtle… She must have been scared shitless when I try to attack her…"
"Well, Toby still likes you! He –"
"She."
"Oh right! She lets you pet him –I mean, her without biting you. A lot of people can't pet Toby since she bites a lot!"
Romano finished a tomato and looks at Toby who is still napping. He moves a little and begins to pet Toby's shell. Romano likes to pet Toby on the shell when he –she is sleeping. Romano is also smiling! Which is always cute!
"Toby is a bit of demon I guess…" Romano says. "But I guess she's my precious demon…"
"Oh! That means Toby is my demon too! She's our demon!"
"And maybe…" Romano begins to turn red in his cute face again. "Toby is our child from what I heard, children are damn demons."
"Doesn't that mean that we're demons too? I mean, we are children, right?"
"How the fuck should I know, some of my family hasn't fucking grown up!"
Antonio couldn't help but giggle a little. Romano's family sound so fun to be with! It's more than his own family with one of his cousins who doesn't know how to smile… or make any feelings on his face… He's also mean since he broke Antonio's arm once.
"But isn't it great, Romano? Our wedding… we'll have all of our family together with daisies and carnations and churros and gelato and tomatoes! There will be lots and lots of tomatoes! And you'll be in a pretty white dress like Mama had and…" Antonio giggles and hugs himself and bounces a little. "We'll have our wedding… And be together forever and ever!"
Even Romano is smiling about this!
"Yeah... You marry me, you bastard…"
"Marry?"
"Some weird ass word meaning having a wedding and shit."
"Oh! Well of course I'll marry you, Romano! I love you will all my heart! I love you even more than Toby and Mama and Papa! I love you more than tomatoes!"
Romano stops petting Toby and punches Antonio on the shoulder. "Stop crapping out shitty lines, y-you bastard! A simple fucking 'I love you' is damn enough!"
Antonio couldn't help but laugh. Romano is so cute! Muy lindo indeed! It doesn't really hurt and many punches and hits from Romano are his cute way of showing love to Antonio! Romano never really hurts Antonio unless it was on accident or if Romano is very, very upset. And he would always apologize to Antonio every time he does hurt him. Antonio is so happy and lucky to have Romano~!
"But really, Romano…" Antonio looks at his amor. "I can't wait and have a wedding with you and be with you… forever and more than ever…"
Romano looks back at Antonio. Those pretty, pretty eyes are looking at Antonio and making his heart go loco! Romano is so pretty and so cute, Antonio can't wait to have his wedding with Romano!
"Hey… Tomato…"
"Yes, Romano?"
"Promise me that… you won't be with, sai, someone else… E-Even if they're rich as hell and hot as fuck! Y-Y-You're stuck with me, d-damn it!"
Antonio blinks. He blinks again and he looks at Romano.
"Why would I be with someone else when I have you, Romano?"
Romano hides his pretty and cute face. "Because, bastard… I'm not good enough…"
"What do you mean, Romano? You're fantástico!"
"Listen bastard! Because I'll fucking say this once!" Antonio nods. He doesn't know if Romano saw it. "I'm… not like you, okay. I curse and cuss and do some bad shit to some shitty people… You have a big house and bits of useless shit and a damn limo and… I got nothing…"
"You give me love! Lots and lots of love!"
"But what else do I give you?"
"You give me words I didn't know and help me find out what means what."
"But did I give you anything that's damn physical –you know, something you can see and touch and shit? No! I fucking didn't! When we marry, I have to help you dig the slut out! I want…" Romano takes a big and deep breath in… and out… "I want to be with you and help you… I don't want to be a spoiled bitch and be some weird ass digging brat or shit like that…"
Antonio blinks again and looks at Romano. What's wrong with Romano? Is he hurt? But Antonio doesn't see any boo-boos anywhere… Did someone tease Romano? Antonio will go to the principal's office again if he has to! But Romano would always tell Antonio…
But Antonio knows he has to say all of his love and heart to Romano. To make sure Romano knows that Antonio loves him and he is Antonio's true and only love! He stands up and…
"Romano!" He begins. Romano is looking at Antonio again. "I really don't know what you are trying to say but… Ti amo con tutto il cuore!" Hopefully, Antonio said it right. That's a lot of Italian that he's done. "You maybe didn't give me anything that I can see and touch and stuff but what you do is good enough –I mean, it's better than enough! It's best than enough!"
"That doesn't make fucking sense."
"J-Just wait, Romano!" Romano blinks but closes his mouth and listens. "I know that y-you think y-you're not great or something and I really don't know why… But! I believe that you're the greatest thing I ever had!"
"B-But–!"
"No! You are! You are the most nicest, funniest, honest-est person I ever know! You have a pretty voice when you sing and even though you somehow didn't like it, you still sing pretty songs to me and Toby! You have a pretty smile that you said is ugly but it's the most beautiful-est smile I have ever seen! You have a really great per-personality even though you say that you're acting like a word that you said like a stronzo or bastardo or another adult word I don't know! But you never try to hurt me o-or push me around… Y-You love me for who I-I am… So don't…" Antonio sniffs. "D-Don't…"
Romano stands up. He looks at Antonio. Antonio can't help but feel worse… Great, he's making Romano feel bad…
"You bastard…"
Antonio can't help but blink the tears he had on his eyes because… Romano is hugging him…
Romano is hugging him…!
ROMANO IS HUGGING HIM~!
"You stupid, stupid, stupid bastard… Yo también te quiero…"
Antonio gasps at this. Antonio loves when Romano said things in Spanish, it sounds so cute with his cute voice! Antonio couldn't help it! He hugs Romano back! With a big, big smile on his face!
"Oh I can't wait to get married! And love you forever and ever and ever!"
Then Romano did a big surprise. He kisses Antonio and then smiles.
"Yeah… forever… with each other…"
"Romano! Hijo! Time to get in! Dinner is ready~!"
John is simply enjoying his ice cream and of course, talking to his husband. He has to simply do a bit of grading and a nice prank of pop quiz for all of his students. Maybe he should put questions about his favorite movies. But first…
"Dude, stop being so upset about that! I get it, I get it, I miss you too. It's been long since I last saw you too." John chuckles and licks some of his ice cream. "But you got to get me some tickets! It's for some of my best students! They're seniors and I want their final year to be remember-able!" John winces a little as he hears the over-exaggerated yell. "Jesus Christ! Yes, it's the same trio I talked to you about! And really they're not that bad! Weirdly enough, the majority of students are okay! …Yes, they're sure! It's not like they're weird ass over-religious maniacs."
Of course, ironically, Toby goes past John and John had pause and blinks at what just past him. And ironically more, Lovino runs toward where Toby has gone.
"YOU GODDAMN DEMON! MAY YOUR SOUL BE PERISHED IN FUCKING HELL!"
And Lovino disappears just like the turtle…
And John hears his husband's mocking laughter. John frowns.
"Oh shut it, asshat."
"Oi, you okay, Tonio?" Gilbert asks. Antonio is just staring at the church for some random reason. Antonio has been visiting this church since he got to the school. Sure, he stared at the church a lot during his freshman year but Antonio is a senior now.
"Oh it's nothing, Gilbert." Antonio laughs and waves one of his hands. "It's just a little thought that I could get married here with Romano! Eso es todo!"
Gilbert rolls his eyes but doesn't say anything. The Spaniard is crazy to actually have a "childhood fiancé" but hey, Gilbert gets to be a ring bearer. All those asshole priests can suck his awesome cock when that happens!
Antonio sighs and smiles. H then giggles. "You know, this church is really nice! And maybe even perfect! If Romano wants to be married in a church, this will be the perfect church that he wants!"
"Toni, you can un-awesomely be weird when you go lovey-dovey shit on this Romano guy…" Gilbert mumbles.
Antonio laughs and smiles at Gilbert. "Hey, at least I'm not Francis, right?"
Gilbert snorts in amusement. Antonio and Gilbert are always amused when they watch Francis trying to get Jeanne to like him. Francis was seen as a sex-addict player in school but really, Francis is human. Almost everyone has sex. Antonio is still a virgin for obvious reasons and other people are virgins too. So–
"Oh! What's Toby doing on a skateboard?"
…What…?!
Gilbert turns his head and his red eyes widen. Holy shit, the turtle is actually riding a skateboard! That's awesome! …But what the fuck is that turtle carrying on her mouth…? It looks like a–
"Give me back my goddamn ring, you damn demonio tortuga bastard!"
Holy fuck, is that Antonio's roommate? Luigi or something? And is he chasing the turtle? Holy damn shit, Luigi looks completely pissed off!
Toby rides her skateboard towards Antonio. The turtle somehow smiling at the Spaniard with the ring still on her mouth. Antonio crouches down and takes the ring off of the turtle's mouth. For some weird and possibly un-awesome reason, Antonio is staring at the ring wide-eyed and transfixed.
Really, it's a weird ring. Rather than a regular diamond or gem on top, the ring has a weird bejeweled turtle… Okay, that would be something that Antonio would like but compare the ring to that roommate…
"Hey! You damn bastard! What the fucking hell are you doing with my ring?!"
Antonio blinks and looks at the panting Italian guy. The Luigi guy is glaring at Antonio as if he's going to rip his Spanish face like some tomato or something. Antonio just keeps staring at the Italian guy, holding the weird turtle ring.
"This is your ring, Lovino…?" Antonio said. It sounds like he's choking or something. Antonio is holding on the ring rather tightly.
"Yes, it's my fucking damn ring!" The Italian guy known as Lovino yells. Sheesh, Lovino is being completely un-awesome now… What's so important about that weird turtle ring anyway? "You better give me back! That ring is fucking precious to me!"
Antonio somehow begins to smile. Okay this is damn weird… Sure, Antonio is actually crazy enough to have a childhood fiancé but… why the Hölle Antonio is smiling like he won some awesome lottery or like a child getting a pet or toy. This roommate of his is yelling his un-awesome ass off and glaring at him as he wants to kick and pulverize his ass a couple of times.
"A-And why is that, Lovino?"
What the fuck is that question? Even Lovino is… well, whatever he is feeling, he's definitely getting redder in the face…
Lovino takes a deep breath and glares straight at Antonio.
"Because that's from my dumb ass fiancé!"
Antonio actually smiles even bigger and actually squeals. Yup, Antonio has finally lost it. First, it was the childhood fiancé and now… this.
Then Gilbert hears something that's complete "what the ever-loving fuck?!"
"Romano… Is that you…?"
Lovino's eyes widen and all that un-awesome glaring stops. His face turns really pale as if the Italian guy is trying to copy Gilbert's awesome albinism. Lovino takes a step back and stares wide-eyed at the smiling Antonio.
"…Tomato…?"
Antonio just shrills in joy. Antonio looks completely happy and ecstatic at what Lovino had choked out.
…Wait, holy shit in schnitzel on a fucking stick!
This is the FIANCÉ?!
Gilbert's mouth couldn't help but open and hang there. Heilige Scheiße auf ficken! This is the fiancé?! This is even a worse surprise than that time he found out that Elizabeta was not a dude or bro by inappropriately groping at her developing chest… But he's going to be a ring bearer for Antonio and that thing?!
Sure, Gilbert doesn't know this Lovino kid much but he's been way too un-awesome on Antonio! I mean, would you like someone if they punched one of your friends in the face? And this is really weird and un-awesome…
"Chi…" Lovino beings to mumble, his head down with his hair hiding his face. Antonio gets closer to his roommate.
"Lovino…? …Romano…?" Antonio asks and actually has the balls to get closer. "Are you okay…? I mean, we can get married and–"
"CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
That was the only warning that Antonio got from Lovino-Romano guy as Antonio has his head gets grabbed by the Italian guy and then Gilbert's awesome mouth dropped.
The Italian guy head-butts Antonio!
HE HEAD-BUTTED ANTONIO?!
WITH HIS HEAD!
The freshman definitely knocked out Antonio but instead of helping Antonio and feel un-awesomely guilty, he ran the fuck away!
And holy Scheiße! The kid can run fast as hell! Gilbert has got to admit, that speed is awesome… But no more attention on the awesome speed! The awesome Prussian has to help his oblivious Spanish friend!
Gilbert crouches down, putting a hand behind Antonio's head and see the Spaniard is somehow conscious still, barely though. Seriously, from that type of impact –especially with that echo –anyone who isn't awesome would have been in a coma or at least unconscious. It looks like Antonio is a bit more awesome than the regular, un-awesome people –then again, he is Gilbert's friend and the awesome Prussian does have awesome taste. But never mind with that awesome fact! Antonio is losing conscious!
"Oi, Antonio! Come on, you can't go unconscious here! That's totally un-awesome for me and you!"
Well, at least Antonio groaned instead of saying nothing. That's good enough…
"Gilbert…" Antonio groans out.
"Yeah Tonio?"
"Lovino is Romano… isn't that great…!"
Okay, due to that un-awesome sentence (whatever it is), Gilbert's eyes blink and go wide while his awesome and handsome face goes blank.
Did Antonio seriously think –believe that he's still going to marry that guy?! He head-butted him and ran the fuck away! Seriously, Antonio proposed to him when puberty hadn't bitch-slapped all of them and gave them the awesome hot genes in apology! And Antonio hadn't seen this kid like… seven to eight years! That's almost a decade!
…
…Well, Gilbert still gets to be the awesome ring-bearer!
Well, the truth is revealed. And Lovino does not take it really well. Then again, all of us just knew that Lovino won't exactly accept the truth with open arms.
Lovino will need a little advice from a few people that are close to him, especially Feliciano. :)
All in all, thank you for reading and please review. Ciao!
