AN: Here ya go, guys, new chapter.

To my reviewers:

Spamano4ever: Toni will indeed be there to listen to Lovi play!

Anyways, here ya go. Enjoy!

Antonio didn't stop bugging Lovino until Lovino snapped at him.

"For god's sakes, Antonio, there is two hours until you will know, alright? Let it go."he said.

Antonio pouted, but said nothing more.

Feliciano, however, decided to speak up. "So, Lovi, have you finally decided?"he asked curiously.

Lovino glared at his brother. "What did I just tell Antonio? I decided, of course, and no I won't tell you."

Feliciano brightened. "Well, I hope you have two songs ready, because they're requested you do two!"

Lovino huffed. "Feli, I got it. You warned me of that after you signed me up, remember?"

"Oh, yeah."Feliciano said.

"Idiota,"

The group ended up just talking for a while, at least up until they had to leave. Lovino had already changed into what he was wearing for the performance - he'd gotten up and done that when he got frustrated with people. He doubled back to his room to get his bass before he walked with the others to the park.

Lovino didn't get nervous until someone came up to him and the others and addressed him. "Which of you is Romano?"

Lovino glowered at his brother before he raised his hand.

"Ten minutes before you have to set up,"

After that, the young girl flitted off again. Lovino turned to look at his brother. "I am going to kill you."he said.

Feliciano gave a bright smile. "But Lovi! Look around, a lot of people from school are here."

"Big deal,"Lovino deadpanned. "It doesn't matter,"

Gilbert spoke. "He did it so that you'd have a bit of cover before you came on stage in front of everyone, Lovi. Let him be,"

Lovino nodded.

As the minutes disappeared, Gilbert saw that Lovino's hands were shaking. Stage fright. "Hey, Lovi! Calm down."he said. "You're going to give yourself a panic attack,"

Lovino looked over at him with widened eyes. "I am calm,"he countered.

"You're shaking,"Gilbert said, deadpan.

Someone came to fetch him right about then. He gave the others a wave. "See you guys later,"he said.

"Good luck!"Antonio called out.

Lovino chuckled faintly before he got out of range.

Gilbert frowned. "I've never seen him so nervous."he said. "And he's got help, so I know it's not that."

Feliciano shrugged. "It's the first time he's performed in front of people he doesn't know and trust,"he said in response. "But he'll be okay."

A good five minutes later, someone announced Lovino and the italian found himself in front of a microphone.

He knew they expected him to say something before he started, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Feliciano caught his eyes and motioned for him to breathe.

Lovino did so and started without another moment of hesitation, his eyes going to the chords he was playing. The people who were playing behind to help out caught on just a split moment later.

Feliciano grinned when he heard the song. "He would,"he mumbled.

Gilbert laughed lightly. "I've heard him humming this so many times,"he commented.

Lovino noticed this and relaxed a good bit when he actually started singing.

He'd never sung in front of anyone before. Not even Feliciano.

As such, Feliciano was surprised by his brother's voice. He hadn't expected it.

As soon as Lovino finished what he was doing, he headed down, bass back in it's case and on his back. He set it down beside him and grinned at his friends and brother.

Feliciano immediately caught his brother in a tight hug. "That was great, Lovi!"he said brightly.

Francis finished doing something on his phone and grinned at Lovino. "And your nonno did get to see it, as well. I recorded it and sent it to him."he said.

Lovino smiled at Francis thankfully.

Gilbert grinned mischieviously. "You never let us know you could sing. Ever. Wonder what else you can do,"

Lovino flipped Gilbert off. "Like that's any of your business, Gilbert."he commented.

Antonio gave Lovino a hug after Feliciano released him, making Lovi turn slightly pink. People who weren't family just didn't hug him. It was a first.

Gilbert gave a knowing smirk, but said nothing.

Antonio released him soon after. "That was great, Lovi."he said kindly.

They all ended up going back to the Vargas home again after that ended.

Lovino immediately collaped on the couch, letting out a sigh. "So nice to be home,"he mumbled. "That was nerve wrecking."

Gilbert chuckled, sitting down in front of Lovino on the floor. "Let me guess, time for your siesta?"he asked.

Lovino laughed, shaking his head. "Nope. Not this time."he replied.

Although they knew they'd come to regret it later, the group stayed up rather late and ended up goofing off.

Lovino was one of the first of them to fall asleep.

The following morning, Lovino woke up to see the others sleeping at random places in the room.

Antonio was the one closest to him, curled up against his side with an arm thrown across him.

Lovino rubbed at his eyes and, careful not to wake the spaniard as he got up and went to go get started on his morning routine.

That morning before school was rather hectic. Ludwig headed out to go get some extra clothes for Gilbert, Francis, and Antonio, as well as changing himself.

Lovino mused over the previous day that morning as he watched Feliciano talk with Ludwig and Antonio. It hadn't been too bad. Not as bad as it could have been, at any rate.

Another chapter today.

By the way, if you're wondering, the song that Lovi plays in this is Airplanes by the Ready Set.

Hope you enjoyed!
