AN: Hey guys. Here's another chapter for you. I watched six hours worth of Teen Wolf already today. It's nice, that I got so far, since I had twenty-four episodes to watch in three days - the season three premere is on Monday. I'm halfway through season one. Now, thanks to a Sterek video from the Teen Wolf fandom, I'm listening to All The Way For You by Poets of the Fall while writing this. You guys should really give it a listen. It kinda fits Antonio and Lovino..very well.

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Yeah, that's very true.

Evelynyamine: Teen Wolf.

Enjoy.

Lovino woke up at midnight in a slight panic. Antonio, who felt Lovino jerk forward slightly, woke up a bit. "Lovi..?"he grumbled.

Lovino sighed, settling and trying to get his heartrate to calm down again. "Go back to sleep, Toni. It's nothing."he whispered.

Antonio pulled the Italian closer to him, letting himself go back to sleep.

Lovino half smiled. He knew he wasn't easy to deal with. He was amazed that Antonio hadn't left him yet. They had their moments where he felt sure that that was where it would end. But..it seemed neither of them were willing to let go.

The following morning, Lovino woke up to Antonio explaining something.

He heard Toris sigh. "I wish he'd stop acting so closed off. We can't help him if he doesn't let us know what's going on!"

Lovino felt horrid. He knew he'd shut everyone out after he left the mafia. He didn't know what else to do.

He stayed put for a bit longer after that, acting like he was still asleep.

Raivis spoke up then. "He's trying to do everything. He can't keep this up. He'll end up killing himself trying to do this. I get that he wants to protect Feli, but..he needs some help, and he needs to see that we aren't going to hurt him, no matter what he says or does."

Lovino pushed at Antonio's arms again, signalling for him to release him.

Antonio let his arms fall away from Lovino, letting the Italian get up.

Lovino got up and disappeared to his room, just wanting to get away from that conversation.

Raivis watched him go. "He heard us."he said softly. "That's the way he always reacts."

Antonio sighed. "Stay here. Both of you."he said, getting up. "I'm going to go talk to him."

"Tell him we didn't mean it like that.."Toris said softly.

Antonio nodded, disappearing after Lovino.

He paused at the door, knocking as he opened it. He could hear the quiet sobs before he even opened the door. He sighed silently, closing the door behind him and moving to sit beside Lovino on the bed.

Lovino sniffled. "Go away, Toni."he said, not even looking back at him.

"They're only worried, you know."Antonio said.

Lovino snorted softly through the tears. "They don't think I can manage on my own."he countered.

Antonio sighed. "No. They know you can. But they want to help so it's not so hard on you."

Lovino shook his head. "I don't need anyone's help! I don't want it either! I can do this on my own."

"I know you can."Antonio said, nodding in understanding.

Lovino shifted to curl up against Antonio, who wrapped his arms around him and kissed the tears still falling away gently. "You are so loved, Lovino. Just let us help you some times."

"Some help sounds nice. But if I say I want to do something on my own, let me do it on my own. Please?"

"Of course."
