An: Hei!

Here's the new chapter.

To those of you who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Lovi is adorable! And Toni..well, he didn't exactly threaten anyone. They just know not to mess with his tomate.

GothicKitty1313: Those two are sweet. Glad you liked the chapter.

Nyt kapittelet!

The following morning, the group got a few new visitors. Antonio, who had his arms wrapped tightly around Lovino, smiled brightly in greeting.

"Hello!" A happy, energetic voice sounded, startling Lovino from his conversation with his brother and making him look up at the group of five curiously.

He huffed slightly when he recognised the boy who'd spoken - Danish sophomore Mathias Køhler. He'd intervened a few times when he'd seen Mathias catching hell for being who he wanted to be.

Mathias caught sight of Lovino's curious gaze and grinned. "Romano!"he greeted.

Lovino shook his head in amusement, giving a tilted smile. "Ciao, Mathias."he returned. "Who're your friends?"

Mathias looked at the others before he smiled and started introductions.

Once that ended, Gilbert spoke. "Huh, I didn't know you knew Lovi, Mathias."he commented from where he was propped against the wall.

Mathias's smile turned sheepish. "He's helped me a few times with some of the other kids here,"he admitted.

"Oh, really?"Gilbert asked, looking at Lovino. "You mean you can actually be nice to people, Lovi?"

Lovino glowered at the prussian, flipping him off before he rolled his eyes.

Lukas gave a soft smile in amusement at that. "Anyway, we wanted to come say that it was a pleasure seeing you perform yesterday, Lovino. And to go ahead and give you all a fair warning, the others are not happy, especially with that kiss that you and Antonio shared after the show."

Lovino rolled his eyes at that. "Of course."he grumbled. "Fucking great and then it all comes crashing down."

Antonio's arms tightened around the italian. "No."he said softly. "No, it's not. They lay a hand on you, they're dead."

"Life plus twenty five or death sentence for that, you know."Lovino pointed out. "Don't bother."

Lukas gave a slight smile. "We'll see you guys around, yeah?"he said before pulling the others away. He could tell that they were going to want privacy for that conversation.

Lovino had sat up, breaking Antonio's hold on him. "Toni, I'm used to it, it doesn't matter,"

Antonio shook his head. "That does not make it right, Lovi."he said quietly.

Gilbert exchanged worried looks with his brother before he spoke. "Listen, it doesn't matter. We'll keep an eye out, okay?"he said.

Antonio nodded, curbing what could have been a bad fight.

Antonio walked Lovino to class that morning, stopping outside the door. "I know you hate that I get so protective, but..please, if something happens, send me a message or something."he said quietly.

Lovino nodded once, meeting Antonio's eyes. "I just wish you'd let me fight my own battles, Toni."he said. "I can handle myself."

Antonio gave a light smile. "I know you can. But still. I only do it because I care,"

Lovino tilted his head down again and nodded. "You should get to class,"he replied. "You'll be late otherwise,"

The italian went to turn away and go into his classroom, but Antonio caught his hand, stopping him.

Antonio spoke softly. "Please don't be mad at me."he said.

Lovino gave a faint smile. "I'm not."he said softly.

Antonio nodded, kissing Lovino once before he let go and headed to his class.

Lovino managed a soft smile and rolled his eyes, heading into his class without a word.

When Lovino showed up at lunch, he was glowering at the floor. He plopped down beside Antonio, not even bothering to fight when he was pulled into an embrace by the spaniard.

Gilbert frowned from where he was playing with Matthew's hair gently. "Something the matter?"he asked.

"Mathias caught some trouble for giving us a heads up this morning,"Lovino said softly. "I wish he wouldn't have done that. Lukas is going mental worrying about him,"

Gilbert sighed. "What happened to him?"

"Dunno. I walked in on the middle of it. Poor guy looked like hell though. He is currently sitting in the nurse's office being patched up."

Arthur joined them about then and blinked. "Mathias?"he guessed.

Lovino nodded.

"Yeah, I heard from Alfred about what happened."Arthur said. "He okay?"

Lovino huffed. "He's not been hospitaliazed."he commented.

Arthur nodded once.

Matthew looked over at Arthur. "So, have you and Alfred talked yet?"he asked. "I mean, for god's sake, I've never seen him act shy, and yet he can't say a word to you."

Arthur chuckled. "Perhaps if the bloody wanker knew how to talk to people without being obnoxious he'd do better,"he commented. "He talked to me this morning on the way to school, actually."

Lovino looked at Arthur curiously then, a slight smile showing as he started eating his lunch.

Matthew motioned for Arthur to continue.

Arthur held his hands up. "He invited me to dinner tonight,"he admitted. "In a very roundabout way, but.."

Lovino laughed. "About damn time. The guy's only been crushing for two and half years now."he commented.

Throughout lunch, things relaxed. Lukas sent a message to Lovino's phone with information on Mathias, which Lovino read out to the others.

After school, Lovino got to thinking. It hadn't been too bad. Sure, he wished that Mathias hadn't put himself in harm's way, but otherwise, there wasn't much else that had gone badly.

Antonio half smiled at Lovino when he saw the thoughtful look on the italian's face. He wrapped his arms around him once again. "What are you thinking about?"

Lovino shrugged. "Just about today."he murmured, looking up to meet Antonio's eyes.

The spaniard's eyes softened quite a bit and he smiled, but said nothing.

Yeah, the day hadn't gone as expected, but it wasn't all bad either.

..I had to include the Nordics. The two who were portrayed are probably highly ooc.

Oh! Also, one of the reasons that I included them is we have a Finland, finally!

Anywho...that's all. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Farvel!
