AN:

Here ya go, guys.

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Yeah, Lovi did miss Toni.

Evelynyamine: I'm glad you find it adorable. And..well, I guess I could put a warning for the massive amounts of fluff in this...

ThatRandomReview: Yeah, that happens.

Enjoy.

Feliciano kept them up to explain the plan they had for school that week. "A lot of people are going in tomorrow to put up posters and stuff around the school about bullying. Actually..we still need some."

Lovino rolled his eyes. "Get me some paper and a marker and tell me what you're wanting. I got it,"

Feliciano did just that as Lovino pushed himself up from where he'd been leaning against Antonio. Emiliana had paused to watch the group interact.

Once Feliciano gave Lovino the paper and markers, he spoke softly as he sat down. "You remember that old rhyme we heard in elementary school?"

Lovino raised an eyebrow. "What? 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'?"he asked.

Feliciano nodded.

Lovino got where he was going with it and tilted his head. "Hm...Let's see how many people we can catch with these."he said, a mischievious grin showing up. With that, he said nothing more to anyone, getting to work on the posters. He showed the one he was working on to Feliciano when he finished, gaining a grin as Feliciano took the poster and examined it closely.

He smiled softly when he finished. "This is brilliant."

"There's a large variety of insults here, Lovi.."Gilbert said as he glanced at the poster over Feliciano's shoulder.

Lovino shrugged. "I've heard them all in some way. I know others have heard them as well."

Nobody questioned him as he got to work on different posters.

Not even an hour later, Feliciano had a stack of posters, all of them different.

Feliciano tilted his head. "You guys want to go help put them up tomorrow?"

Lovino looked at the others before he spoke. "I'm game."

Antonio shrugged. "I'll go."

Ludwig nodded in agreement.

Silence reigned as everyone got ready for bed. That night was quiet, calm.

The four who ended up going got there early and Lovino immediately went to the auditorium, where they were all supposed to meet. Even the drama and art teachers hadn't showed up yet. As such, the first thing Lovino did was climb onstage and hook up an electric guitar. He ignored the questioning looks he got as he started playing. Feliciano raised an eyebrow. He wasn't used to hearing Lovino play something like this.

The others started drifting in in the middle of this.

As soon as Lovino stopped playing and unhooked the guitar, he noticed the others and gave a sheepish smile, setting the guitar aside again before he went to join them.

It took an hour to put all of the posters up, but it was worth it. It was well worth it.

Lovino exchanged a look with Feliciano before he hugged his little brother and disappeared from sight.

Antonio rolled his eyes and gave Feliciano a soft smile before going after Lovino, catching up with him shortly after.

When Antonio caught up with Lovino, it was to see the elder Italian frowning. "What's the matter?"
"This isn't going to help."Lovino said. "..it never does."

"You don't know that."

Lovino looked at Antonio before he sighed. "Listen, Toni..until I see it work, I'm not going to be convinced. Don't fight with me over this. Please."

Antonio sighed. "Fine."he said softly, catching Lovino's lips in a soft kiss before he spoke. "How about we get home?"

Lovino nodded quietly.

And so, they stayed quiet as they walked to the Vargas household. At one point, Antonio started joking, making Lovino relax and start laughing.

It was a nice sound for Antonio to hear, especially knowing that it was helping Lovino relax.

And to do that, Antonio would do anything.

Here you go, loves.
