I don't know…

"How in the world as we back here?"
"Ve~~~we always have a Glee meeting! And I'm Kurt!"
"What the hell does that mean?"
"That means we have a gay falsetto in our group." Etana stated as she pulled out her books.
"HEY! I resent you using that word!" Lovino spat.
"Why?" Yong Soo looked up. "Every guy here's gay…with the exception of me, da ze!"
"YOU DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!"
"Bloody hell, when was the last time I heard the world gay and it meant happiness?"
"Um…never?"
"All right, guys! Settle down!" Alfred grinned. "I know you guys are relieved that the whole musical is over and stuff…but we still got work to do!"
"Like what?" Francis grinned.
"The Christmas concert!" Alfred winked. "Tino requested it so that he can kick off the Christmas holidays that way!"
"Oh great…now we get to sing the usual Christmas songs…fucking fantastic." Lovino spat.
"Well, that…and then me and Charice decided that we were going to do some pop songs for Christmas." Alfred laughed. "And then Roderich gets the Music Club to try playing symphonies~!"
"That's it?" Yao blinked in confusion.
"Yep." Charice grinned. "Either that or I get to use one of my fabulous plans~!"
"No!"
"Ve~~~but her plans are usually so fun-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
/= [DAY 87] =/
Charice walked through the interior garden with a flick in her step, thinking deep into what she was going to do for the Christmas concert, when she noticed someone staring around like he was waiting for someone. Without even thinking she plopped down next to him, making him look up.
"Oh, Charice…I thought you were Lovino."
"Why? You and Lovi-chan have a date?"
"Maaaaybe~ we're going to be checking our gardens again!"
"…it's wintertime."
"You never know!"
"…this isn't Spain. I'm pretty sure crops don't grow in these temperatures."
"I know that! It's just that it hasn't snowed yet and I can't help but wonder…"
"…no. That doesn't happen."
Antonio just started laughing. The laugh was, as always, different from what she was used too. Heck, she couldn't help but think about how that makes him different. Wasn't she thinking about this for…I dunno, a few years already? Shouldn't she already have an answer by now?
"You know…you sometimes sound like Lovino."
"How?" She blinked.
"You like yelling a lot and swearing even more."
"Oh, that's true." She laughed. "How is he, by the way?"
"He's doing well…"
"Sad about something?"
"No. I was just thinking about how tolerating he is about his brother dating Ludwig." Antonio laughed. "I thought he hated him."
"He still does." Charice tilted her head. "But he watches over his brother like that. I think it's cute."
"Well, his brother really is cute~!" Antonio clapped his hands together. "He has that tic, shivers a lot, cooks and draws beautifully, and is adorable!"
"I won't deny you on that! Not to mention that he's so cute when you actually get the shy part of him!" Charice laughed. "Have you seen him when he hides behind Ludwig?"
"God, I just want to hug him."
"So do I…" Charice sighed. "Lovi-chan's the polar opposite of him."
"Yeah…he yells a lot, curses more, and never likes it when I give him hugs…" Antonio tilted his head. "Not to mention that he can't draw and cook that well."
"He can't cook?"
"Not well…nothing like Feliciano."
No one knew that Lovino was listening from behind the wall, clenching his fist and trying hard not to cry openly and look like a sissy. But he really should have seen this coming. So many people always prefer his younger brother than him…why? Was it because he was so normal compared to him…?
"And I like that."
Lovino looked up.
"Because Lovino wasn't supposed to be like his brother. No one is supposed to be like their siblings." Antonio sighed. "There are a lot of things he can do that Feliciano can't. He can aim a gun, defend himself for a while…he can protect efficiently…it makes me worry for him more."
"Yeah…actually, don't tell anyone, kay?"
"Tell anyone what?"
"Well…I personally like Lovi-chan over Feli-chan."
"Seriously?" Antonio's eyes were huge. "But you hug Feliciano all the time!"
"Because he's easier to hug and I get lazy sometimes! It's not like I hate him or something, it's just that Lovi-chan is more adorable in a way…oh, tsundere, that's it!" She laughed. "He's a tsundere!"
"I've heard of that term. Kiku uses that a lot. He's one of them?"
"Yep~!" She chirped. "He's a lot more adorable than Feli-chan, but the only problem is that he doesn't like being hugged…so I only try to hug him when I want some exercise."
"Ohhhh."
"Like now- HI, LOVI-CHAAAAN!"
"GAAAAAAAH!"
/= [DAY 88] =/
When Charice passed through the hallway, she turned her head and saw that Tino was decorating the walls with Christmas lights. She couldn't help but laugh as she watched as Erika and Vash headed over to help him, which ended up with Tino falling and Berwald swooping out of nowhere to save him. She laughed and headed on.
The next hallway had Wang Yao talking to Lin Yi and Yong Soo about their upcoming celebration (apparently fireworks are involved). Li Xiao came out of nowhere and then popped confetti in their faces, making them scream bloody murder and for Yong Soo to jump / grope Wang Yao.
In the newspaper room, she noticed Ludwig, Feliciano and Kiku talking to each other about the Christmas article while eating their lunch. Halfway through, Feliciano leaned onto Ludwig's arm and cooed softly, causing the poor German to blush and the Japanese man to laugh. She stared at that for a few minutes before moving on.
Around halfway through her walk, she couldn't help but notice that Natalya was stalking Ivan again (judging by his shaking and being comforted by his sister Irunya). It was around that time that she noticed that Toris had passed by and Ivan immediately ignored everything and headed off to stalk him. She had to stop after that.
In the garden, she noticed that Antonio and Lovino were there watching the snow over their plants. Halfway through her watch she noticed that a girl was heading over there to talk to them. She recalled that her name was Anri…Belgium, she believed. From what she was seeing, she was basically the missing piece of the tomato puzzle that was so lost it was optional. They looked like they were having fun. She turned and headed on.
After watching Gilbert harass Roderich for a few minutes she noticed that Alfred and Arthur were having a quiet moment together, talking in a voice she couldn't hear and cuddling together while waiting for the snow to fall. She couldn't help but laugh before walking forward, seeing that Matthew was standing in front of the wall while eating ice cream and sighing. She quietly leaned in to read it before sighing and heading on.
Carlos was here…and damn glad he was.
She turned to the lobby and then saw the one person that she wanted to talk to today. She couldn't help but wave and smile, catching their attention.
"Kuya!"
"Ate." Rizal grinned. "What, not busy today?"
"Nope. I got bored, so I decided to go look for you." She winked. "You want to go explore New York?"
"Why not? We're close to Manhattan, from what I heard."
And the two of them smiled as they headed out of the school into the newly falling snow.

Well…school is starting soon…meaning that the updates will be less…
