AN: Hei.
Here's a new chapter for you guys. Then it's time for bed.
To those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: SuFin is actually the first side pairing I was entirely comfortable with. They are cute, and how they act is easily tied to how people treat them and those they care about. And as for Feli and what's wrong with him..even the happiest people get down and out sometimes. Don't worry, Lovi and the others will be there to help out until he cheers up again!
Katie-Kat1129: Norge is perfectly okay. Besides, Denmark isn't being too bad. He's relatively calm, so Norge is probably just rewarding him for being calm for a change. You'll see, I promise!
Hope you enjoy!
At lunch, Feliciano still wasn't smiling and acting like himself. Actually, he had his music in, focused on that.
Ludwig sighed when Lovino gave his brother a worried look. "He hasn't spoken all day.."he said softly. "None of his teachers could get him to even look at them."he said quietly.
Lovino sighed and got up, moving to grab his brother's hand and pull him up and away from the others. He also confiscated his brother's music so that he could speak with him.
Antonio frowned slightly. "What do you guys think is going on?"
"Don't know."Matthew said softly. "But Lovi's tried everything he could think of this morning to try to get Feliciano to crack a smile. The closest that Feli came to smiling was when he noticed that Lovino had on the angel wings again this morning."
Tino tilted his head from his seat. "Why does he wear those, anyways?"
Antonio spoke. "We talked him into dressing up on Halloween, and Feli had the idea of getting him to dress up as a Fallen angel. So, Feli talked him into wearing the wings. It just fit him, and Feli was so happy that Lovi went along with it.. Lovi'll do anything to keep his brother happy. Even if it means wearing angel wings to school,"he said softly.
"Feli loved it, because Lovi reminds him so much of a dark angel,"Gilbert said softly. "So Lovi indulges him,"
Tino looked over at the Vargas brothers, only to see that Lovino was holding onto his brother's hand and looking at him pleadingly, speaking quickly. "Do any of you know what's wrong?"
Matthew's eyes widened. "Wait, today's..the funeral."
Antonio frowned. "Then why are they even here today? They shouldn't be. They should be allowed to stay home,"
Sweden's eyes were locked on the brothers, watching their interaction. It was clear that Feliciano was masking his emotions in front of everyone else. Lovino was okay, it seemed, but he had a reason to hold himself together. "S' t'ke th'm h'm',"he said, looking at Antonio.
Antonio looked over at Sweden before he looked back at the Vargas twins and nodded.
Lovino led his brother back not long after that.
Antonio checked his watch before he looked at the two brothers. "You two feel up to staying the rest of the day, or are you wanting to go home?"
Feliciano looked up at the spaniard for a moment before he sighed and spoke. "I'm staying,"he said softly.
Lukas gave the younger italian a searching look, taking over from Antonio before he said something without thinking. "Well, just let one of us know if you want to leave,"he said calmly.
Mathias grinned at Feliciano, pulling him into a conversation about something that happened on Halloween to distract him. Lovino smiled thankfully when Feliciano managed a faint smile at the conversation.
Lukas gave his boyfriend a surprised look before looking at Lovino. "I never knew he could act like this.."he said quietly.
"What, clinicly insane or selfless?"Lovino asked, snickering slightly.
Lukas paused for a moment, as if in thought before he answered. "Selfless."he replied.
Mathias was pouting at the two, but Feliciano was laughing, so nobody said anything. No fights. No hard feelings. Just a pout and a few laughs and moving on.
Not for the first time in his life, Lovino was glad that Feli and him were friends with people who liked making others happy. It made things easier on days like this. The serious days where all the twins wanted to do was curl up and mourn in silence for a few days or weeks.
Sometime after Feliciano's grin faded again, Mathias shared a glance with Gilbert before he decided to all but use Lukas as a support, leaning on him while babbling about something completely random and more than likely made up off the top of his head.
Feliciano looked back up in curiousity as to what was going on. Lukas looked extremely uncomfortable with the sudden contact, as well as all the extra weight that Mathias was placing on him and shifted so that the Dane hit the table. Not hard enough to really hurt him, of course, but enough to make him stop.
Feliciano chuckled faintly, so Mathias figured it was worth it and settled down again.
Up until that point, they'd all been relatively calm, not wanting to disturb the younger twin or make the elder mad at them for doing something stupid until they could fix whatever was wrong, if possible.
Lovino knew that Lukas and Mathias had spoken on the drive to school that morning. They were only acting like this today to try to keep Feli and him from overthinking things and getting themselves depressed. Nobody wanted to deal with either of them when they got depressed.
Mathias had been calmer than ever, but that was the only thing out of the plan they'd surely made, so that was more than likely what that morning's surprising show of affection from the two had stemmed from.
Yelling from outside the cafeteria caught the group's attention.
Matthew rolled his eyes. "Trouble in paradise. Again,"he sighed. "Sounds like another infamous fight between Sadık and Heracles. Wonder how long it'll last this time.."
Lovino rolled his eyes, at least up until the greek male came in. "Well, whatever it is this time, it certainly seems to be the end of them. Shame."
"What do you mean?"Antonio asked.
Francis rolled his eyes. "Those two have been together for two years now, but it's constant fighting. Still, with all their fights, Heracles has never actually gotten upset enough to look like he's about to break down. So..it's got to be pretty bad."he said softly.
Feliciano frowned as he watched the greek. "Kiku will make them fix things. He always does."
Lovino nodded. "Maybe. But still..those two have never actually fought this bad."
Feliciano sighed. "I know."he murmured. "Still..."
The group stayed on that topic for a while, each placing their own opinion of whether the two would make up or not after such a bad falling out.
It was odd, Lovino thought. We've yet to have something like that occur so close to home. Until now.
And I figured out a way to introduce Japan! After a very long talk with our cosplay group's Sweden today.
Hope you enjoyed!
Näkemiin.
