AN: So. Fun day so far. I gave up on working on France's drabble. I need more information before I can finish it!
Anywho..
To those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: Alright, sounds legit to me. Definitely.
ThatRandomReview: Gilbert and Matthew, Arthur and Alfred, Lovino and Antonio and Vash and Roderich have all had 'official dates' whether they were shown or not. Lovino and Antonio have gone on a few dates. Not very many, but still. Maybe three?
Guest: I'm glad you like it, and I'm glad that your friend enjoys it as well. I will say that this is no where near finished. It's not like I planned (At most, maybe 100 chapters) because my writing takes a mind of it's own.
Penguin Braginski: It is a roit. Not always in a good way. Like today after school, we had a mini, non-costume cosplay. Not fun, because we had so many people around us and they were looking at us all like we belonged in a mental institute or something. But still, it was fun. And it has been odd, the group being so chilled lately. I will have to do a lot of research with these France pairings. I've never seen Seychelles in the show or anything.
Enjoy.
The days flew by and before the group knew it, the week leading up to Valentine's Day had arrived.
Lovino was staying after school quite often, and then heading to work so he didn't get home until late, and was also working on what he was going to perform at work as well.
Antonio didn't like the effect all this was having on Lovino. The Italian was all but dead on his feet.
So, the last evening before the performance at Lovino's work place and at school, Antonio pulled Lovino aside. "Lovi.."he said softly. "You need to take a break,"
Lovino sighed. "I will. Once this is all over with."he commented.
Antonio shook his head. "Lovi, I mean it. You're dead on your feet. Stop and take a break. Let us worry over Feli and everything. You need some rest."
Lovino didn't argue against that. Instead, he let Antonio lead him back to the group.
As soon as they sat down, Lovino slumped against Antonio lightly. He was exhausted.
Nobody bothered him. They let him drift off to sleep.
Matthew spoke softly. "I wish he wouldn't work himself so much."he said softly, frowning at his sleeping best friend. "He's working towards an early grave doing this."
Gilbert glanced over at Lovino before he settled his chin on Matthew's shoulder. He knew why Lovino was doing this. He wanted to make his brother proud of him.
Feliciano was watching Lovino in silence. "..Gil..?"he asked quietly.
Gilbert raised his head to glance at the younger Italian.
"..would you feel up to helping him set up tomorrow so he doesn't try to do it all by himself?"
Gilbert smiled faintly and nodded. "Yeah. Sure. In fact, if one of you guys will cover for me, I'll go ahead and go set up while you guys are at the performance."
Antonio stayed quiet, carding his fingers through Lovino's hair gently.
That night was one of the calm ones. Lovino was well rested when he got up the following morning, and was quick to get ready for school. He was once again, by request of both Feliciano and Antonio, wearing the angel wings. It was still a running joke with the group. And Lovino had gotten to where he was alright with wearing them, as well.
Antonio smiled faintly when he saw the wings, running a finger over one of them and making Lovino look back at him.
Lovino gave him a soft smile and kissed his cheek before going back to what he was doing - trying to figure out how to get his button up shirt on without screwing the wings up.
Antonio laughed lightly and took the Italian's overshirt away from him and disappeared for a moment, leaving Lovino to glare after him.
A few moments later, Antonio came back with one of his own overshirts that he had ripped and torn to work. He helped Lovino put in on in silence. Feliciano glanced over to see this and smiled faintly. "If you two are going to eat, you need to get into the kitchen."
The two did so without a word.
Lovino couldn't help but smile when he saw Ludwig give Feliciano a piggy back ride to school. He knew that his brother loved when people did that. He kept the comment to himself, but Gilbert noticed the faint smile and rolled his eyes. "Good to know that you've gotten to wear you can stand West being with Feli."
Lovino rolled his eyes in response and shrugged. "He makes Feli happy."he countered.
That morning was nice for the group. It had been calm recently, but it was a nice change.
Vash had laughed lightly at Lovino - not only due to the fact that he had the wings on again, but the fact that Antonio's shirt was huge on the Italian.
Lovino pouted at the Swiss, who rolled his eyes in amusement.
"Oh, I'm just laughing because it's cute."he said softly. "Lili would love that,"
Lovino tilted his head. "How's she doing, by the way?"he asked curiously.
Vash shrugged. "She's doing good. Worried to death over Feli and you. You two should stop by soon."
Lovino smiled faintly. "Bring her here with you tomorrow. I'll look after her for the day."
Vash seemed hesitant but he nodded in understanding. "Yeah, okay.."
Antonio spoke softly. "Who's Lili?"he asked curiously.
"Vash's little sister,"Gilbert answered. "She's like..six, right?"
Vash gave Gilbert a deadpan look. "She's eight,"he corrected. "And if you mess with her tomorrow, I swear to god, Gilbert, I will take a knife and gut you."
Gilbert nodded in understanding. "I'll leave her be, I promise!"
Vash examined him for a moment longer before he let it drop.
Lovino smiled. He'd always loved how protective Vash was over his little sister. It was the same way he was with Feliciano. Only Vash was more extreme than he was.
The day was turning out to be pretty good, Lovino thought. Now, how about we not find someone who can screw it up.
So..there is a reason that I brought Liechtenstein into this. We had a cosplay moment at buses today, and our Switzerland informed us that her little sister is our Liechtenstein. How kawaii.
Anyways..here.
