AN: Lithuania got his flag today. So did our Japan.

And yes, I was tortured at school.

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: ...

ThatRandomReview: Yeah. And I suppose they are. They are to me, anyways. I don't think she's anyone's favorite person right now.

Evelynyamine: yeah, I suppose it was.

Luvrainluv: Aw, I sorry. And nah, it's fine. I understood it perfectly! As for what happened in Italia...well, that will come out very soon, actually.

Enjoy.

"C'mon, fratello, hurry up!"Feliciano called out.

Lovino's shout followed something falling. "I'm trying! Stop yelling every two fucking seconds and maybe I'll get there sooner!"

Feliciano glanced at the others before he called back. "If you don't hurry, we'll miss the entire festival!"

Lovino came out into the yard at that exact moment, glaring coldly at his brother, who squeaked and moved to hide behind Ludwig, poking his head out to look at the elder Italian.

Antonio laughed softly and moved forward to grab Lovino's hand. "I don't know why you insist on getting dressy to go to the festival, amor.."

Lovino huffed. "Because,"he commented. "I have to go straight into work today after the festival. It's one of those days."he responded. "You know this, Toni."

Alfred frowned at the elder Italian. "It sucks that you've got work today, dude.."he said.

"Yeah, yeah."Lovino grumbled. "It's a festival day, there's going to be more traffic in the restruants, and you know it, Alfred. And I'd like to keep my job, so I'm going to show up."

The past few weeks had flown by, and the group was now looking dead at the summer festival. Lovino was glad it was, because it was something that made everything seem a bit more normal than they had been since he'd returned from Italy again. He didn't voice this, but the thought was there.

The beginning of the festival was enough to get Lovino into a better mood. He didn't seem too bothered by being drug along by Feliciano whenever the younger Italian found something new around them.

Ludwig and Antonio were both smiling at the two brothers. It was so rare to see such a scene from them.

However, the festival was cut short for Lovino, because he had to head in for work. The group walked with him, and Feliciano waved animatedly at his brother's coworkers and gained a few hellos for it.

Antonio stole a quick kiss and promised to wait up for him to get off work that evening before he let Lovino go completely.

Lovino didn't stop smiling while he worked. The customers were glad that Lovino was happy again. It had been a while since they'd seen him so fully happy. It was a nice change.

Oh my gosh, I was shaking so much that I felt like Latvia today. I was freezing because of my freaking sunburn. People who know about Hetalia and have seen the Baltics before commented on it. I hated it.. Ugh..
