AN: So..I'm here after watching a few PewDiePie videos on Youtube...and after my fucking bitchy grandmother decided to unplug my computer when I already had half the damn chapter typed up. So, yeah, I'm pissed, so no this will not end well.
To those who reviewed:
ThatRandomReview: I suppose they do. Sorry. Didn't mean to cause that.
Spamano4ever: Awesome!
Luvrainluv: Yeah. You're welcome!
Enjoy.
Work was slow, Lovino couldn't help but think. He'd been able to be a lot more still than he would've liked. He just wanted something to take his mind off of the fact that he'd been an idiot and managed to get his brother hurt again that day.
Was he in the best mood? No. Everyone could tell. They tried to keep him busy, but there just wasn't enough to do that day for that to be possible. But everyone gave him space.
Antonio showed up at his break and gave him a soft smile. "You know, it's not that bad. Not even a bruise!"he said, trying to cheer the Italian up. "Just a bit sore,"
"It shouldn't even be that bad."Lovino pointed out sourly. "It's my fault he's hurt."
Antonio sighed. "Lovi...you know that Feli loves you and doesn't want you blaming yourself. Just calm down a bit. He's fine,"
Lovino met his eyes and shook his head. "I'll just be glad when this mess is over and everyone's safe again."
"Hey..it's fine, all of it's fine. We know you're on edge. We all are. We understand your reasoning. Just settle down and let us help. Everything's fine."Antonio said, wrapping the shorter male in his arms gently.
Lovino let his head rest against Antonio's chest and he sighed. "'Toni, I don't have a clue what I'm doing anymore. I'm not used to this shit anymore."
Antonio nodded and kissed the top of Lovino's head. "I know. But I love you. Just remember that."
Lovino nodded in agreement.
Antonio was waiting outside when Lovino got off work, and the Italian managed a weak smile.
Antonio grinned and stole a kiss. "C'mon, let's get you back so you can see for yourself that Feli's alright."
Lovino nodded and allowed Antonio to grab one of his hands and fell into step with him, waving goodbye to the others in silence.
The walk back home was silent, but it was comfortable for a change, instead of tense and uncertain.
Antonio slowed a bit. "You know, Lovi..I got to thinking..what are your plans for after high school? It's coming up soon.."
Lovino nodded. "I know. I just...I dunno, I might just like..take a year out of school and then go to some college for something."
"Well..I was wondering...are you going to stay here?"
Lovino frowned. "I might. I dunno. I have to watch after Feli..so..it's something that hasn't really been planned out too well right now."
Antonio smiled softly. "Let us help you a bit with Feli, why don't you? If you want to go away for college, one of us will keep an eye on Feli for you while you're away."
Lovino smiled up at him. "That's sweet."
"I know."
Thankfully, it didn't take much to get Lovino to believe that Feliciano really was okay and not too badly hurt.
After that, the evening was calm and quiet, much like Lovino and the others had become used to before.
I gotta go.
Ciao.
