AN: Oh my gosh, guys! I got my tail! I was so happy! Alright, I'm done flipping out about that. I've been busy all day with VBS and stuff, though. So..happy late birthday to Miss Liechtenstein. On another note, tomorrow (Well..today, technically) looks to be interesting. Canada, Russia and America might be coming over, as well as Denmark and Iceland, and our 2p!Romano. Meaning? Freaking cosplay! Heck yes! I've been looking forward to doing another cosplay with the normal group for a while now. The good thing? Meine Mutter said she'd be willing to film it for us! And we have a few people who doing do cosplay, but said they'd be willing to help out with some stuff, like...editing and helping with costumes, make up and wigs.
Anyways, to those who reviewed:
ThatRandomReview: Because life bites, of course! Don't feel bad. Doctor Who and Torchwood and VBS got in my way. Not the best idea.. I'm glad you still like the story, though!
ItalyAllday: Yeah, it's always cute when that happens with couples. When I'm watching from a very safe distance away. Yeah, late night reading sessions..that's a haunt of mine, as well. But I get to sleep all day, usually.
Spamano4ever: Glad you thought so!
Guest: (chapter 93) I love scones and stuff, don't get me wrong. I got addicted to them after Dani made them when he heard that I got dubbed as England in my group. But I hate making them. It took us almost four hours to get enough made edibly for the entire class!
HeroinOfDarkness: Definitely right!
Enjoy
"So! Summer's almost here. What's the plan?"Gilbert asked, looking at the others. It was well after dark, but they were still lounging around in the meadow.
Antonio raised an eyebrow. "What d'you mean?"he asked softly.
Gilbert grinned brightly. "Are we throwing a party after school lets out or not? We always do!"
Lovino looked at Gilbert. "Knowing you, it'll involve alcohol, Gil. I've done good to keep my promise thus far."he commented dryly. "Lord only knows how many times I really could've used a drink this past year."
Antonio laughed softly. "I keep telling you, I don't mind. Hell, I can't act like I've never drunk any alcohol in my life before. Just not all the time. Every now and again, special occasion thing never hurt no one."
"Then you really don't know us,"Lovino said. "Any time we mix alcohol and us together, it ends in disaster."
Raivis shook his head. "Man, I remember Lovi coming in with a hangover a couple times. Didn't end well for anyone. He is so beyond irrateable when he's got a hangover."
Ludwig spoke. "Alright, here's the deal. We'll have an end of the year party. No alcohol."he said softly. "We can have it at our place."
Once everyone agreed to that, things settled down again.
After a while, the group decided it was time to head back to Antonio's for the night and got up to go to leave. They made it a bit up the road before Lovino stopped and glanced towards the woods across the road.
Raivis noticed this and shared a look with Toris before he spoke. "Lovi, c'mon."he said softly.
Antonio followed Lovino's gaze and frowned before he grabbed one of Lovino's hands, pulling him forward a bit to get him to start walking again.
It was weird. Lovino hadn't done something like that before. Feliciano had noticed this behaviour and tilted his head but said nothing until they were inside Antonio's house. Then he sat down in front of his brother.
"Fratello? What was going on?"
Lovino met Feliciano's eyes and gave a faint smile. "Nothing, Feli. Just my eyes playing tricks on me, 's all. Probably spent too much time in the sun today."
Feliciano nodded that he understood and cuddled up against his brother's side.
Antonio and Ludwig worked together on getting something put together for dinner. It was sometime while they were still working that they heard the sound of a guitar being played coming from the living room.
Ludwig peaked out to see Lovino playing something while Feliciano sung softly in Italian. "Sono tutti fuori di fede, questo è come mi sento. Ho freddo e mi vergogno, distesa nuda sul pavimento. Illusione mai cambiato in qualcosa di reale. Io sono sveglia e posso vedere il bel cielo a pezzi. Sei un po 'in ritardo, sto già combattuto."
He tilted his head. He'd never heard Feliciano sing before. He had the feeling he knew the song though. He shook his head and went back to work, not interupting the brothers.
Lovino's voice drifted through the doorway soon, in english.
"Nothing's right, I'm torn. I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel, I'm cold and I am shamed..."
Antonio winced verbally, but said nothing.
As soon as everyone started eating dinner, Ludwig brought it up. "So..that song..."he said softly. "Torn, right?"
Lovino nodded, not looking up from his plate.
Ludwig frowned slightly. "Why were you two singing it?"
Lovino shrugged, looking up. "Just for something to do. Our mom used to sing it all the time..."he said softly. "It kinda stuck."
With that, he fell silent again.
That silence lasted throughout dinner. As soon as that was over, Feliciano started jabbering.
Nobody bothered to interupt him other than to answer a question he asked.
Finally, things settled down when Ludwig decided that the group should have a movie night.
Lovino was asleep before the second movie was half over.
So...yeah...here.
