AN: Hei!
Interesting, interesting day..
To those who reviewed:
GothicKitty1313: Another Nordic fan? Yes! Thank god! He is. That doesn't mean he'll actually hurt others to stand up for himself..he just seems to much of a sweetheart.
Spamano4ever: At least. I could actually see Denmark taking a hit to protect Lovi. It just seems like they'd be decent friends, since they both care so much, even if they show it in different ways.
Nauti luku!
When Arthur came over with a bright smile showing after splitting ways with Alfred for a while, Lovino grinned. "I take it that your guys's date went well?"he asked.
Arthur went red. "..it wasn't a date.."he murmured.
"Says the boy who walked my elder brother to the front door last night after going out for dinner."Matthew butted in. "Come on, it was sweet, and it was a date."
The briton gave a tilted smile at that.
"I knew it!"
Lovino laughed lightly, leaning back into Antonio's chest to keep himself up right. Antonio was chuckling softly as well. "You guys are very cute together, mi amigo."he told Arthur.
Arthur raised an eyebrow. "I could say the same for you and Lovi, and Matt and Gilbert."he said.
Lovino and Matthew both turned pink and Gilbert laughed lightly, kissing Matthew's forehead while Antonio tightened his grip around Lovino's middle.
Mathias and Lukas came over and joined them right about then.
"Speaking of cute, here comes the masters of acting cute,"Lovino teased softly, giving a soft smile to the two nordics.
Mathias rolled his eyes and Lukas chuckled.
Lovino examined the damage he could see. "Just a few minor bruises. Consider yourself lucky, Mathias."he said softly. "It could have been so much worse,"
Mathias's eyes narrowed. "Why do I feel you speak from experience, Romano?"
Feliciano butted in when Lovino went to lie. "Because he does."
"Feli, damn it!"Lovino snapped.
Mathias examined Lovino before he shrugged. "Alright, then."he said, letting the topic drop.
By the time that the group broke apart for their first hour, they were all in good moods.
Come lunch, however, Lovino entered the cafeteria in a pissy mood. He sat down in silence, but when Antonio went to wrap his arms around him, he only shrugged him off.
"Lovi?"Antonio asked.
Lovino didn't respond to that, his gaze remaining firmly on the table.
Antonio frowned. "Lovino? Is everything alright, mi amor?"he asked.
When Lovino didn't answer to that, Antonio reached over, making the italian look at him. "Lovi, why are you ignoring me?"
Lovino jerked out of Antonio's grip.
Gilbert gave him an odd look. "What's with you?"he asked curiously.
Lovino glared at the prussian before he went back to watching the table top with icy eyes.
Antonio huffed. "Lovino, would you please speak to us?"he asked.
Lovino shook his head.
"Why not?"
Lovino shook his head again.
Antonio frowned again, pausing to think before he reached back over and made Lovino look at him again. "Lovi, would you at least tell me what happened to cause you to shut us out?"
Lovino gave him a look. "No."
"Why?"
Lovino huffed, shoving Antonio's hand away from him. "Because, it doesn't ever matter."
Antonio sighed. "Yes, it does. You're shutting all of us out because of whatever's happened. Just let us know what's happened."
Lovino shook his head again.
After about five minutes of trying to get Lovino to tell him, Antonio got frustrated and snapped. "Would you please just fucking tell us why you're so damn moody this time?"
Lovino's eyes flashed in hurt at his tone. This time, Lovino thought. Never bothered you before.
The italian glared at Antonio. "Someone made some fucking snide comment about you, you fucking jerk."he said. "They knew it'd get to me and it did, so I stood up for you. I know not to do that again,"
With that, Lovino got up and snatched his things up, heading out.
Antonio got up, heading after Lovino and catching him before he left the cafeteria. He grabbed his hand and pulled him to a stop. "Lovi."he said quietly. "I didn't.."
"Didn't mean it?"Lovino asked. "That's what everyone says. I've stopped believing it,"
Antonio went to apologize, but Lovino shook his head, snatching his hand out of Antonio's grip and taking off.
"That was harsh,"Gilbert said as Antonio took his seat again.
Antonio glowered at the prussian. "Why the hell did I have to open my mouth and screw this up,"he grumbled, letting his head drop to the table.
Mathias entered the cafeteria not long after, a deep frown set on his face. He stopped by their table and spoke. "What the hell happened?"he snapped. "I just passed Romano in the halls, he looks broken,"
Antonio frowned. "I misworded,"he said quietly.
Mathias looked at Antonio for a long moment before he crossed his arms. "Well, you better fix it."he commented. "He's gone through enough bullshit without you tacking more on, Antonio."
"Where is he?"Antonio asked.
Mathias sighed. "On his way to the auditorium,"he said. "And I mean it, if he's crying because of you, you're dead to me,"
Antonio nodded, grabbing his things and taking off after Lovino.
Mathias looked at the others. "He doesn't even realize how easy it is to break Romano, does he?"
Gilbert shook his head. "I didn't have the heart to tell him. I figured Lovi'd let him know,"
"He never told us. We found out on our own,"Francis pointed out.
When Antonio entered the auditorium, it was to see Lovino sitting on the stage floor, a guitar laying in front of him, his face hidden in his hands.
The spaniard frowned, moving forward silently to sit behind Lovino and draw him into a hug. "Lo siento, cariño."he said quietly into the italian's ear.
Lovino let his hands drop, looking back at Antonio for a moment before he shook his head. "Why would you be?"he spat. "It's not like I'm not used to just being used for a good laugh,"
Antonio's heart broke at that. "No, Lovi..I would never do that. I just misworded,"he said softly. "I would never use you, because you are worth so much.."
Lovino let out a broken laugh. "I've heard that before,"he said, wiping at his eyes. "I'm not worth anything. You deserve better anyway. Just go."
"I couldn't have any better than you. I wouldn't want it that way. You know why?"Antonio countered. "Because you are my everything, Lovi. You. No one else. I love you."
Lovino turned to look at Antonio in shock. Once he got over the shock, he bit back the sob that came forward. "You love me?"he asked quietly.
Antonio grew Lovino closer to him. "Don't cry, please. I do love you. I would never lie to you, especially about that."
That evening after school, Gilbert gave the two a worried look. Mathias looked between them before he nodded and let go of his earlier threat. He could see the tear stains on Lovino's face, but he could also see the love in both Lovino's and Antonio's eyes. He figured they'd fixed things.
Now if only it would stay that way for a while, Mathias thought.
...Gah, I'm done..
