AN: Ciao!
Here's a new chappy for ya!
To those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: Most likely because I started by basing him off the Lovi in the cosplay group at school and it kinda evolved from there.
Xenat25: Toni will indeed try to help Lovi. But, let's face it, with Lovi..he's so stubborn!
xXxTheGirlWhoLikesCreepyThin gs: I'm sorry! I'm glad you like it though. And, again, thanks.
Anyway..here ya go.

Lovino set Feliciano down when they got to school, keeping a close eye on him.
Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Lovi, for god's sakes, he can stand on his own feet. Relax a bit!"
Lovino glowered at his 'best friend' but said nothing. Instead, he took his bookbag back from Antonio, who gave him a kind smile.
Feliciano had a small smile showing as he grabbed his brother's hand and pulled him along.
Gilbert laughed when Lovino stumbled a bit.
Francis smiled faintly. "Well, here's one thing that's for sure. Feli isn't going to let Lovi change too much."
Antonio walked with Lovino to class again when they all seperated. He stopped outside of the italian's class and met his eyes. "Hey, listen..don't shut us all out, alright? I know..we've probably become really hard to deal with, but I promise, we only do it because we care."
Lovino sighed. "I know."he said softly. "But, I also know that Feli and me..we'll be okay. We don't need help, and if we do, trust me one of us will ask for it."
Antonio smiled softly. "Just making sure you knew,"he said.
Lovino nodded. "Get to class,"he murmured, "I love you."
Antonio grinned. "Love you too,"he said, kissing the italian softly before he headed to his own class.
Lovino headed into class, a faint smile still showing.
At lunch, Antonio came up behind Lovino after the italian was seated and ruffled his hair gently before taking a seat. Lovino glanced over at him and gave him a small smile.
Antonio grinned, looking at the others. "So, any plans for today after school?"he asked.
Gilbert shrugged. "Ludwig and me are going to drive Lovi and Feli to the funeral home to get everything worked out, but otherwise, nothing. We could all hang out at my place, though."
The others agreed to it.
Lovino noticed that Feliciano had his sketch pad out again and raised an eyebrow. "What are you drawing this time?"he asked his brother.
Feliciano looked up for a moment before he passed the sketch pad to Lovino.
Lovino examined the picture before he half smiled and passed it back in silence, letting Feliciano go back to drawing.
The rest of the day passed without a hitch. The others headed to The Beilschmidt home while Gilbert and Ludwig took the Vargas brothers to the funeral home.
As soon as they got back, the group ended up hanging out outside near the pool. Lovino was careful to say away from it, knowing that Gilbert and Francis were still seeking revenge on him from last time they ended up in the pool.
Antonio, however, ended up dragging the italian closer with him.
Lovino wasn't too keen on the idea of being near a pool, not with Gilbert and Francis around him, but he said nothing.
At least, not until Antonio lost his balance, sending both of them into the water.
Lovino sputtered when he reached the surface again, glaring at Antonio, who was laughing. "Idiota! What the hell?!"
Antonio laughed lightly. "Sorry, Lovi. I didn't mean to!"
Lovino glowered, but moved to the edge of the pool, pulling himself out of the water.
Ludwig had disappeared when the two hit the water, heading inside to get a couple of towels. He had returned at that point and tossed Lovino a towel.
"Grazie."Lovino said.
Antonio climbed out and Ludwig passed him a towel as well.
Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Alright, you two. Inside, before you can end up sick."
Lovino had no problems with that idea.
Everyone ended up inside.
The chatter that filled the room lasted for a while until everyone had to leave for the day.
But it had been nice. Exhausting but nice.
Here ya go.
Hope you enjoyed.
