AN: Here's the new chapter for you guys.

To those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: ...I figured as much. But still..might as well make it realistic, right? And hey, if they don't like it, oh well. I don't like bigots.

ThatRandomReview: Let's not do that just yet.

Penguin Braginski: Exactly my thoughts! If you don't like it, don't watch. I mean, damn.. And the LGBT community is one of the strongest, thanks to all those bigots. It's fine. I've said much worse in a rant at school in drama class..around my teacher.

SilenceOfCrimsonSnow: Yeah. My cosplay group finally asked me the day before the Day of Silence. They knew I was supportive of LGBT rights and everything. So our Canada asked me what my sexual orientation was, and I told them..so..it felt nice to let them know. I will say one thing, by coming out..that's the strongest thing you can ever do. Because you do risk rejection, but you finally get to show who you really are in full. If people don't like that, they never truly liked you, because they didn't know the true you. Thanks. I love that quote! I read that in some Harry Potter fanfiction. Cub, I think it was. You should check it out if you're a Harry Potter fan.

DarkestDangel: Indeed. Why do you ask?

Adventure515: (Chapter 50) Yes, I do cosplay as England in my group unless I get requested to do otherwise. And that really depends on the storyline for the cosplay skit, honestly. I'm glad you like the story!

Evelynyamine: I plan on it.

Enjoy.

"He's alright. He's hanging out in the auditorium for a while. Just wants to be alone,"Matthew told the others when he came in late from figuring out where Lovino was. "He has a lot to work through,"

Vash nodded and went back to the conversation he was having with Lovino's boss about what had gone on. He'd called ahead to let him know to keep an eye on Lovino just in case.

Feliciano remained relatively silent throughout lunch as well.

Gilbert decidedhe'd had enough of the quiet after a while and spoke. "Alright, can we please talk about this and get past it?"he asked.

Feliciano looked over at him in silence.

"I get it, honestly, I do. But why the hell are you and Lovi letting it get to you so much?"Gilbert asked.

Lovino's voice sounded from nearby. "Because. She's the only parental figure we have left who even halfway cared."he said. "It would've been nice to have someone who was willing to accept you as you are. Nonno was always very accepting. He was the first person Feli and me ever told about being gay. And he just blinked at us and replied with an, 'okay, what do you guys want for dinner?'."

Feliciano nodded quietly. "Yeah..I wouldn't've minded if she was hesitant, but to outright say that she doesn't accept it, that fact that she won't even try.."he said. "I'm just more upset that she turned Lovino away like she did. He's been through so much, and she knows about it..and yet the minute she finds out that he's with another guy, completely forgetting that Toni's the one who basically kept him from fucking killing himself...she just..."
Lovino sat down quietly and looked at Feliciano. "Did she say anything to you?"

"No."

Their day just really didn't go over too well. It was far too hard for them to act like they normally did after the scene that morning.

After school, Antonio came up behind Lovino and wrapped his arms tightly around him. "Te amo, cariño."he said quietly.

Lovino smiled softly, the first time all day, then turned in Antonio's arms to face him. "Anche io ti amo.""he replied.

Antonio grinned, leaning down to steal a kiss from Lovino.

Francis smiled faintly at this scene. "Oi, you two, enough cute."

Lovino pulled back and flipped Francis off.

This got a few laughs.

Ludwig blinked from where him and Feliciano had just showed up. "What did we just walk in on?"

Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Francis must be getting sick, West, he basically told Tonio and Lovi that he didn't want to see any lovey-dovey stuff. Lovino just responded as always."

Ludwig half smiled in understanding and settled down on the grass, drawing a book from his bag to read.

Feliciano smiled and settled down against the german's side.

The soft chatter and laughter within the group was a nice change from the tense atmosphere that had been there earlier.

Antonio glanced at his watch. "We should probably get going,"he said, looking at Lovino. "You do have work this evening, after all."
Lovino sighed. "Oh, fun. Socializing with a bunch of strangers."he grumbled, but nodded.

As the group walked towards Antonio's, things settled down a good bit, into their normal routine.

Here ya go, loves.
