AN: So, guys, I need to be honest with you I have to get this out there before I continue on with the new chapter and stuff, okay? I am currently trying to get some help from someone besides a psychologist (Because they're fucking pricks who only supply you with medications that you can kill yourself with so they get paid, trust me, been there.). I'm trying to recover from a bad relapse in my depression and PTSD. I've started cutting again, and have started seeking a bit of help from my close friends, as I trust them with my life..so, I'm sorry that the updates have been so scattered. But that is my reason. I try not to write when I get like that because when I relapse, it over-runs into everything, and the end result of me trying to write during a bad day is going to be hell for all of us. Just know that this is why. I have not lost my inspiration for this, I am just having a few difficulties of my own right now with life and am trying to get to even ground again.

To those who reviewed:

Evelynyamine: Yes. You do. This chapter.

Spamano4ever: Of course. I don't know which yet, but one of them will find out what's wrong, either this chapter of the next.

Enjoy.

Antonio watched Lovino throughout the night. He seemed a bit different from before. He was speaking much less, and had yet to give anything resembling a smile or laugh to anyone despite all their best efforts.

Eventually, he allowed himself to drift off, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of Lovino that night.

The following morning, Antonio woke to find that Lovino still hadn't moved from his seat in front of the window from last night. He sighed and moved to sit beside him, taking one of his hands in his own.

Lovino looked over at him in silence before he sighed and cuddled up to him.

Antonio stayed quiet and let him stay there.

After a while, he finally spoke. "..where were you yesterday, Lovi?"he asked. "We were all worried..."

"I'm sorry."Lovino mumbled. "I just...I had to set this in stone. I'm done with my mom, I'm done with that family.. I got Feli and me out.."

Antonio gave a soft half smile at that. "Then it's done."he said. "That part of your life is over..it's time to start a new chapter, is it not?"

Lovino looked up at him and managed a small smile. "You're a great boyfriend, Toni."he said, laying his head against his shoulder. "Thank you."

Antonio kissed the top of his head. "I love you."he murmured.

"Love you too."Lovino said in response.

Feliciano smiled over at the two. It was nice to know that his brother had someone who was going to be as understanding as Antonio was being. It really made things a lot easier for everyone to deal with.

The group's day was slightly out of routine, but nobody commented on it.

They spent most of the day cutting up and hanging around town. They spent quite a bit of time at the park, laughing and cutting up. They went back to normal after that, mostly.

Lovino still didn't participate a lot. He was busy thinking.

Antonio sighed and moved to pull Lovino away from the swings where he was sitting off by himself. It was dark out, and the stars were out. He pulled Lovino to the hill on the other side of the park, away from the trees and the others. He laid down and pulled Lovino down beside him.

Lovino smiled and turned his focus to the sky. "Today was nice."he said softly.

"Yeah, it was."

Here, guys. I gotta go. I have to work on something...
