AN: So...here's the new chapter. Please don't kill me for it. I got the idea from a cosplay that I got to film today. Just...don't kill me?

To those who reviewed:

ThatRandomReview: Sorry, sorry! It is sweet that Lovi's protective of Feli, don't worry. I've said worse, trust me. Glad you still like the story. Honestly, I don't pay attention to how many chapters. I just put effort forward to write for you guys, since you guys are awesome.

Spamano4ever: ...no, it's not their dad. You might kill me for this...

Enjoy.

"I know."

Gilbert exchanged looks with Francis worriedly, but said nothing.

"Listen, I'm sorry for being late,"Lovino stood and moved down, closer to the person who had just come into sight of the others.

Feliciano stood as well, but Lovino kept him behind him protectively. "Now."Lovino said. "I agreed to do this because it's killed Feli that you left. But do not hurt him again. I mean it."

Gilbert called down. "Lovi, what's going on?"

Lovino glared back. "If you want to know so damn bad, get your fucking ass down here."he called back.

Gilbert got up and went down the hill carefully, stopping at the bottom before he shook his head and went back up. It seemed he had nothing to say either way.

Lovino sighed. "Severin, I mean it. Don't hurt him again. Twenty minutes. Starting now."he said, pressing a button on his watch and moving out of the way.

Antonio watched this, frowning in confusion. He could hear what was said, but he was still lost.

"Veneziano..."Severin started.

Feliciano didn't correct him, so Severin continued. "I am so sorry. I didn't plan on being gone so long..."

"But you were."Feliciano said. "You didn't write or call, either. I thought you were dead. Grandpa told me you were dead it had been so long, Severin."

Lovino was dead silent, didn't intervene.
Ludwig came down when he noticed how tense both of the Italians were.

Lovino stopped him, though. "Don't."

Ludwig nodded, but didn't turn and head back like his brother had. He stayed and watched.

Severin's eyes went to Lovino and Ludwig behind Feliciano and he nodded. "I really do appreciate you coming, Veneziano."he said softly. "I honestly didn't want to be gone so long, and I understand that I hurt you, honest. I'm not trying to hurt you further by showing up again now, but I had to come..I had to make sure you were safe, that you were okay."

Feliciano held his gaze for a while.

Severin half smiled. "I have something I need to return to you. Then, if you never want to see me around again, I'll leave. For good."he promised, pulling a necklace charm out of his pocket.

Lovino recognised it. It was a simple dog tag. He knew what was written on it as well. Antonio had his.

Severin gave a soft smile as he grabbed one of Feliciano's hands and placed the charm in it before releasing his hand.

Feliciano looked at the charm before he nodded. He gave the boy a tight hug. "Don't stay gone forever..."he mumbled.

Ludwig smiled faintly as he watched. He was glad that Feliciano was okay.

Lovino kept a close eye on the two, though. As soon as Feliciano released Severin, the boy stepped back.

"I'll try to keep in touch. If your brother will allow it."

Feliciano looked back at Lovino, who sighed, but nodded in acceptance.

Severin managed a smile. "Thank you, Romano. I appreciate you allowing this."

Lovino shrugged, holding out a hand for Feliciano.

Feliciano darted back to his brother's side and waved farewell as Severin left.

Ludwig half smiled at Feliciano. "Everything okay now?"he asked.
Feliciano nodded.

The group settled down after that. Lovino relaxed as soon as they were back at Antonio's. It was weird, having to monitor something like that. He'd never expected to have to. But Feliciano seemed happier now, so he said nothing.

No one did.

So...like I said, the idea came from a cosplay. Severin is Holy Rome. I couldn't find any other name possibility before writing or filming, so...yeah.

Don't kill me?
