AN: Hi!

Here's a new chapter for ya!

To those who reviewed:

xXxTheGirlWhoLikesCreepyThin gs: Good. Oh my goodness, I used to have so many..and then I moved and lost all of them. One of my old friends doesn't play Pokemon anymore, they said they'd give me their collection! Freaking awesome!

Spamano4ever: Indeed he does and is..

Anywho..Enjoy!

Once the group got back to the community center, Matthew spoke. "Hey, Lovi? Do you still have your cards?"

Lovino blinked at Matthew and nodded. "Yeah, at home, in my room like always."he replied. "Why?"

Matthew grinned. "I was wondering if you'd be up to a game when we get back to school."

Lovino smiled. "You're on. Monday, lunch. That okay?"he asked.

Matthew nodded.

Antonio blinked in surprise. "Wait, what?"he asked.

Gilbert laughed. "Man, it's better that you don't ask. Your little italian nymph will drag you in like Mattie did to me,"

Mathias looked between Matthew and Lovino, though. "Are you two sore losers?"he asked.

"Not really,"Lovino replied.

Matthew grinned. "We give each other hell for a while, but it's all in good nature."

Feliciano smiled softly. "They've done that for years. It makes them want to get better at it,"

Antonio still looked lost, so Lovino gave Matthew a look.

Matthew passed his deck of cards over to the italian, who sat down, pulling Antonio down as well. He quickly started explaining, using the canadian's deck with ease, pointing out different aspects as Matthew had done for Gilbert earlier.

As soon as Lovino finished and handed Matthew his deck back, Antonio seemed to understand more.

Even so, the rest of the weekend went quickly with Lovino brushing up on rules quickly before school on Monday.

By the time the Vargas brothers got to school, Lovino had slipped back into his old mindset.

Antonio grinned at Lovino when he sat down. "Hola!"he greeted.

Lovino smiled softly at Antonio, giving the spaniard a soft kiss before he looked at the others.

Gilbert looked at Lovino before he huffed. "And you're back to how you used to be."he grumbled.

Lovino bristled. "You never had an issue with that when it kept your sorry ass out of jail,"

"That wasn't my fault!"Gilbert countered.

Matthew laughed, remembering when Gilbert and Lovino had first become friends.

Antonio raised an eyebrow. "What?"he asked.

Matthew spoke. "Lovino's played Pokemon since we were both kids. He met Gilbert in like eighth grade and they became friends when Lovino took the blame for some destruction that happened in a classroom that had been blamed on Gilbert."he said. "Didn't even know what was going on, either."

"Nope, I was focused on the game until the teacher came up."Lovino admitted.

Antonio nodded. "Interesting way of becoming friends with someone."

The first half of the day went great for the group. The nordics ended up joining them at lunch to watch the game curiously.

As soon as everyone finished eating, Matthew and Lovino dug their card decks out.

Antonio only barely followed what was going on in the game - nobody really understood other than the two playing.

When the game ended, Matthew blinked. "What?"he asked. "You've finally managed to beat me.."

Lovino grinned faintly. "You gave me a weekend. I brushed up on a few tricks."he commented, going back to putting his deck away. "I'm game for a rematch anytime,"

Matthew smiled and shook his head. "I'll let you know."

Antonio walked Lovino back to class after that. He stopped just outside of Lovino's classroom. "You looked like you were having fun during that game."

"I was,"Lovino admitted.

Antonio smiled softly and nodded. "Good."he murmured. He gave a soft smile, drawing the smaller male into a kiss before he let go completely and gave a faint smile. "Te amo."he said softly before disappearing.

Lovino rolled his eyes and headed into class. God, his boyfriend was so weird.

That evening after school let out, Lovino hugged Antonio as he came up to the group. "Ti amo,"he said. "You never gave me a chance to reply earlier, you jerk."

"Sorry, Lovi."

Feliciano smiled at this exchange. It was so sweet!

And there you go.

Hope you enjoyed!

Remember, if you want to see a pairing or event, let me know.

Ciao!
