AN: Here ya go, guys!
To Those Who Reviewed:
LaniKat84: Yeah. It's completely understandable.
ThatRandomReview: It's okay. The only reason it's still going strong now is because I don't plan it ahead of time like most artists. I write what I have inspiration for, leave out what I don't. It's a program that someone taught me a while back, when I first got into writing. Can't remember who, but..it's useful. Glad you like it! And also..I dunno..I've found a Harry Potter story that I like, that's amazing in my opinion, that's nearing a hundred - it's a Marauder's era story, though. Sirius Black's Hogwarts Adventure. It's amazing. And Cub..that one's getting up there too. Both are amazing.
Spamano4ever: Read? Where can you read it? I've only ever got to watch it! And yeah.
Evelynyamine: Glad you thought so.
Penguin Braginski: Glad you like it!
Enjoy.
The next time Vash checked in on the two, it was to find them curled up together on the bed, sound asleep. Lovino had his head resting on Antonio's chest, and Antonio had his arms wrapped tightly around Lovino, as if trying to protect him from anything that could possibly want to hurt him. He smiled faintly at the scene. It was sweet.
He shook his head and went back to the living room with the others. "Both of them are still sound asleep."he told them as he took a seat.
Toris smiled faintly. "Toni's good for him."he said quietly. "He's very protective."
"Aren't we all.."Matthew said. "I know it bothers Lovino a lot sometimes that we're all so protective of him, especially Antonio..but it's adorable that Toni's so worried about him.
The following morning, Lovino was up before anyone else. By the time everyone else was up and moving, breakfast was finished.
It was rather quiet through breakfast, through getting ready for school. The walk to school, however, was anything but quiet. They were laughing and joking aorund with each other a lot.
Things were back to normal, and they were all very thankful for that.
Throughout the day, things seemed a bit more normal. Like none of the past few months had really happened. Sure, the evidence was still there that it had happened, but it didn't feel like it had. It all felt like it had been a horrid nightmare instead of reality. But isn't that what reality was? A nightmare? Lovino thought so. For the most part.
Now, as he was talking and laughing with Antonio and the others at lunch, he didn't think so as much. Now, reality seemed pretty okay. Not too bad, but not too good.
Antonio gave him a soft smile and drew him into the conversation, away from his thoughts. He also pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Yeah. Things were back to normal. Toris only hoped it stayed that way. Because knowing this group, they could all use some 'normal' for a little while. It would be a nice change. Because recently, it had been constant drama. And that was exhausting for everyone, involved in it or not.
And now that things had finally begun to go good for the Vargas brothers, Toris couldn't help but wonder when the next storm would hit them. Because it was never good for long. Ever. It never worked that way.
He just hoped and prayed to whatever god was listening that they had a while before the next storm would hit. So they could prepare for the worst.
Sorry it's so short. I'm exhausted right now.
I'll try to update a new one, a longer one, tomorrow or the next day. Depends on my schedule. I have a book to finish that's due back to the library on Thursday - Mark of Athena. I want to finish it. I'm about halfway through it now. So much to read..
