AN: Hola!

Here's the new chapter.

To those who reviewed:

ThatRandomReview: They're out of the picture now. They will never bother Lovi and the others again! Swear! And of course Lovi didn't deny he's an Angel! He's surrendered himself to his fate!

Spamano4ever: Yeah. Though I must say that I like it better when Lovi's happy instead of being violent.

Enjoy.

Lovino couldn't help but notice that after the last issue with the mafia, things settled perfectly into their old rhythm. He loved that. He could relax, finally.

Antonio spent a lot of time trying to help him erase the memories of his time with the mafia.

He'd had a few people ask him what the confrontation had been about. He never answered them, though. They didn't need to know.

As soon as things went back to normal, Lovino let Feliciano talk him into wearing the wings again. This time to symbolize the end of a struggle.

So, when Lovino came into the school with the wings on the following morning, a bit later than the others, he got a few grins from the others.

Antonio grinned. "Well, I see someone's back to wearing their angel wings."he said. "Going to keep them for a while this time?"
Lovino smiled and took a seat beside Antonio. "..perhaps. We'll see."he replied.

Antonio ran a hand over the surprisingly soft feathers. "I still believe you really are an angel of some sort, you know."he commented dryly.

"I know."Lovino said. "Now quit that."

He deftly caught Antonio's hand, gaining a few laughs from the others and a pout from Antonio. "But Lovi~! They're so soft!"

Lovino laughed softly, giving Antonio a soft kiss. "Stop."he murmured when he pulled back. "Please?"

Antonio pouted for a moment before he agreed. "Fine.."

Feliciano grinned at his brother. "So, you've accepted that you are an angel in his eyes?"he asked.

Lovino sighed. "Yeah. I might as well. Saves me a lot of wasted breath that way."

Nobody argued with that logic.

Lovino got some odd looks on the way to first block that morning. Antonio kept a steady stream of words going and Lovino responded easily.

Antonio kissed Lovino's cheek before heading to his own class.

By lunch, things had become more normal.

Lovino was exhaused when he sat down beside Antonio and immediately leaned against the Spaniard.

Lukas, who had been pulled to lean against Mathias's chest, blinked at the Italian. "You feeling alright?"

"Just tired,"Lovino grumbled, looking at Lukas, who gave him a soft smile.

"Work getting to you?"

Lovino nodded and let himself drift.

Still, he didn't actually go to sleep. Just a bit of a catnap.

Quiet fell for the longest. It was something they'd become used to.

A lot of times, the worst situations can have the best results, Lovino thought that evening as he stood with the others outside the school building. This is one of those times. I just hope it lasts.

Sorry, I know it's short. I was being rushed. I have to get to bed so I can focus tomorrow during the Drama meeting.

Ciao!
