"Lovino! Please come in here." Roderich said. The Italian teen slowly walked in.
"We want you to meet someone." Elizaveta said. A small girl came out from behind Elizaveta.
"This is your little brother Feliciano." Roderich said. Lovino's eyes went wide and looked at the boy in a dress. So this is how he looked as a child.
"Hi Feliciano. I'm Lovino." He said shyly.
"Hiya Lovino! Ima so glad you're my new brother!" He said, his voice with a thick accent.
"Now there's another matter. Me and Elizaveta have to go away for a little bit. So we're having Uncle Arthur watch you two." Lovino smiled. Uncle Arthur loved Lovino! Feliciano looked confused.
"Uncle Arthur is really cool." He said to his younger brother.
"Oh ok! We'll have fun then!" Feliciano said. The next few days was filled with getting Feliciano comfortable in the house, and packing. Finally came the day when the adults were leaving. The doorbell rang.
"Uncle Arthur!" Lovino said opening the door. The man rushed in.
"You two better hurry to catch your train!" He yelled to the adults.
"Thank you so much Arthur. Just make sure Feliciano is happy ok?" Elizaveta said. She gave Lovino a kiss on the head and rushed out the door with Roderich. Arthur rushed upstairs to see Feliciano. Lovino followed.
"Aw you're as adorable as Alfred!" He said. Lovino looked over. Feliciano was sleeping.
"How is Alfred?" Lovino asked. Arthur just turned with a dirty look.
"Don't talk so loud! Get out! You'll wake him up!" Arthur said. Lovino's face fell.
"Fine you bastard…" Lovino said, using his first swear word. He loved how it rang on his tongue. Arthur glared. Lovino walked down stairs and saw Arthur brought his cats Matthew and Kiku. Lovino went to pet Matthew but he darted away. Kiku followed behind him. Both cats were very shy.
"Come here kitty kitty." Lovino called. He bent over to grab Kiku but the cats darted away, knocking over a few glass items.
"Ah! Bad cats!" Lovino yelled trying to pick up the glass. He cut his fingers a few times.
"Kiku!" The cat was climbing up the curtains. Matthew was still hiding. Lovino jumped up and grabbed the cat, putting him down on a table. He meowed loudly.
"Lovino! What are you doing to my cats?" Arthur said. He ran up and picked up Kiku.
"WHY IS HE BLEEDING?!" Arthur yelled. Lovino looked his his fingers.
"The cat knocked over a vase and I cut my fingers picking up the pieces and it got on him…" Lovino said softy.
"Oh shut up. You woke your brother anyways." Arthur snapped. Lovino growled, his eyes going dark. Why was Arthur treating him like this?
"Go do some chores Lovino!" Arthur yelled. Lovino stormed out the door and blindly walked down the road.
Soon he noticed he was in an unfamiliar place. They never let Lovino go into the city much. There were stores with different names all around. People were walking and giving him weird looks so Lovino turned down an alley.
"Ey you! Rich boy!" a man with a mask said. Lovino backed up a bit.
"What are you doing this side of the streets boy?" Said another. His eyes were tired looking.
"I-I'm uh.. just walking." Lovino stuttered.
"Get him." The masked man said. Tired eyes and a man with an Egyptian hat went to grab him. Lovino dashed away. Jumping over trash cans and fences, he found himself at a dead end. The three men walked towards him. Suddenly Antonio jumps in front of Lovino, protecting him. The men glared and lunge at the Spanish teen. Antonio punches one in the face, knocking him to the floor. Then he pulled a small knife from his pocket.
"Back off." Antonio said with a growl. Tired eyes and Mask man stopped, but didn't back off. "I mean it Sadiq. You and Heracles better leave my Roma alone." The two men looked intimidated for a moment. The picked up the Egyptian man and walked away. Antonio turned to Lovino.
"Are you ok Roma? Did they hurt you?" He said putting his hand on Lovino's face. The Italian pushed it away.
"I'm fine you bastard! Don't touch me!" Lovino yelled. Antonio chuckled.
"You're fine now Romano." Antonio hugged Lovino, who held back tears from the fright he just had.
