AN: After sleep being ridden with nightmares, I don't feel up to really going to the Freedom Festival today..but I'm going to. Because we're doing a cosplay while we're there, and I am required to be there to fill in. Unfortunately, when Luke and Dani found out I've been doing research on the 2ps, they decided to torture me with their cosplay idea. Fuck. Kill me. Please, just kill me.

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Yeah, poor Lovi. The 2ps are cute, but some of them are downright terrifying in my opinion.

ThatRandomReview: Yeah, not really my cup of tea, but it's pretty okay, I suppose... I kept waking up..so no rest. Plenty of sleep, just no rest. Whatsoever.

LaniKat84: Lovi is insecure. That's some of his appeal, though, is it not? Yeah, I agree that he needs to stop worrying, but after his past, wouldn't you worry? ...and I'll pass on the cupcake, thanks...I won't even eat one that I cooked and know what is in it...no.

Enjoy.

After three that morning, the group gave up on sleep. They knew nobody was getting any more sleep.

That day at school was shaping up to be torture before it really began. As such, Gilbert spoke up. "Guys, do we really have to do this? We can just skip out today.."

Feliciano nodded. "Yeah, sure."he mumbled, going back to the conversation he was having with Lovino.

Toris shook his head in amusement. "You know what I noticed recently?"he asked, getting the Italian brothers' attention. "You two are each others complete opposites. Do you guys fight a lot due to it?"

Lovino laughed lightly. "No, no, we don't. It does make conversations interesting, though."he commented. "Hell, once, just to creep our teachers out, we switched personalities for the day. It was so...we got detention for it. Both of us."

Gilbert's eyes lit up. "Oh, man, I remember that. Feli broke the act by second block, and I busted out laughing at the look on the teacher's face when he snapped back."

Lovino nodded. "I wasn't too happy about that, because no one let me know that the act was up until lunch."he said. "Next time, if we do that again, someone had better text me and let me know, or it won't end well."

Matthew gave him a look. "You'd really do that again?"

"It causes trouble, doesn't it?"Lovino asked. "Then, hell yeah, I would."

This got a few laughs. Lovino seemed to be back to normal.

Antonio raised an eyebrow. "You two switched personalities?"

Feliciano nodded. "Back a few years ago. Vash was the one to give us the idea, because people kept confusing us for each other until they picked up on personalities. It was fun, seeing the reaction. But it was in middle school. We haven't dared in high school because of all the crap that goes on there as it is."he said. "But it was fun!"

Lovino rolled his eyes. "Says you."he deadpanned. "I don't like acting as childish as you do..."

Feliciano gave a toothly grin and shrugged. "Sorry."he said. "You aren't exactly the easiest to act like, either. And considering you were always cursing...you don't make things easy."

Lovino ruffled his brother's hair and laughed. "'Course not? What kind of brother would I be if I didn't make things a bit harder on you?"

Feliciano shrugged and the topic was changed for a long while.

But Antonio still had questions that the twins weren't answering, so Matthew and Gilbert spoke up, explaining away the questions while Feliciano and Lovino spoke quietly in Italian.

Antonio smiled faintly. It seemed that Feliciano and Lovino did more together than he had been aware of. They were much closer than they seemed at first.

Anyway, moving on. So...gr. I hate my cousins. You know who they want me to fill in for? Italy. Fuck, I'm dead. My friends are going to kill me. Hell, I might end up killing me if I'm not careful with the knife I have to carry. Thankfully, we have permission from the authorities to use it for the cosplay, so long as it doesn't truly become a weapon against any Festival-goers. But...gah, I'm going to have to wear that uniform and stuff in this heat? Dead. I'm going to die. Just...fuck.

Wish me luck, guys. I might end up killing my cousins before the day's out if they keep torturing me.

The good thing? Italy is my favorite 2p. That's the only good thing.
