AN: Hey bros! So, today was awesome. I spent the entire day looking for fellow Bros at school! There's more than I thought! But...some of my fellow bros and I got to talking during Chorus (You wouldn't believe how many bros are in that one class!) and we got to planning. We're going to try to get together and play Slender some time in the spring when it warms up at night again and stuff, actually go out and play in the ballfield and woods and stuff outside my house and everything, multiple rounds and stuff..and a bunch of little pranks for this year after April Fools Day - we're not in school for it this year, sadly.. - and next Halloween. We're gonna put a bunch of Barrels around the school after April Fools Day, see how many Bros we can catch off guard and how many teachers get massively confused! It'll be fun!

Anyways, to those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: It'll come out soon. Don't kill anything yet.

ThatRandomReview: Yep, Pewds! My group's new America introduced me to his videos last year, but it took our Canada to get me to watch his videos this year, I'm kinda slow on uptake if I don't understand it all...and I've never been a huge gamer until this year anyways. *Brofist*

British Iggycat: Brofist! And if I wear headphones while watching PewDiePie or Cry, I lose a bit of my hearing, because my computer doesn't have volume control worth a damn when you have headphones connected to it. I'll look into it, definitely!

Luvrainluv: Yes, you will have to wait to find out. And yay, another Bro~! It's okay. I'm asking around about game suggestions anyways!

Enjoy!

Things had settled into a calm routine by the time that Romeo had gotten used to everyone in the group. Lovino was glad that his brother got along with everyone so well. It was rather surprising, admittedly, since they all had such conflicting personalities.

It was so odd, watching his brother interact with the group. He could tell that everyone was careful not to hurt him, but they were all so friendly towards the young child, so protective over him, it was a nice change.

Antonio grinned at the Italian who had his head resting in his lap, watching everyone else carefully. He could tell that Lovino was glad that it was a weekend, one which he was off for, to spend time with everyone for a change and just relax.

The Spaniard gently ran a hand through Lovino's hair, giving him a soft smile. It was so rare to see the Italian so relaxed, it a was a nice change.

After a while, Romeo spoke up. "Lovi~! Can we have some pasta?"he asked. "I'm hungry."

Lovino grinned. "Si. C'mon, you get to come help this time. Just don't make too big a mess."he said, getting up and leading his younger brother into the kitchen.

Romeo didn't complain about this.

Once the two had disappeared, Feliciano spoke up. "It's nice to see him finally relaxed and being more his age again. I've missed that."he said softly. "He always did stuff so willingly around Romeo."

Antonio smiled. "It's a change to see him acting so calm."he commented.

Nobody could really argue with that.

It wasn't even a full hour later that everyone had a plate of pasta in front of them and Romeo was eating happily while sitting in Feliciano's lap.

Lovino went back to laying with his head in Antonio's lap once he'd finished his own plate, content to stay put like that.

Feliciano took their plates with his so that they wouldn't have to get up, glad to see his brother being so calm and relaxed for a change.

Over the course of the next week, Lovino got a call from Romeo's school during his lunch period.

He answered it and shot everyone at the table a look to stay quiet while he was on the phone. "Ciao~ Lovino speaking."he said softly into the speaker.

Within the next two minutes, Lovino tensed up and clenched a fist closed. "What's wrong with him?"he asked, voice showing just how tense he was.

A few seconds later, he looked up and met Feliciano's eyes for a moment. "Yeah, yeah. I'll be there as soon as I can."he said, hanging up.

"What's going on?"

Lovino looked up at Feliciano before he answered. "Something's up with Romeo."he answered. "Probably another accident during recess. He seems to have plenty. Not really much of a team player when he's wanting to be alone,"

Feliciano sighed. "I'll bail you out of classes. Just go."

Lovino nodded and kissed Antonio's cheek before he got up and disappeared.

Once everyone got home, it was to see Romeo napping on the couch while Lovino sat in an armchair, face in his hands.
Feliciano examined the both of them before he spoke. "What happened, Lovi~?"he asked.

Lovino let his hands drop and looked up at him. "I was right. Putting him in school so late in the year wasn't the best idea in the fucking world. You know how people around here react to transfer kids. And you know how many of the kids in his class have elder siblings who know of us. What the fuck do you think happened, idiota?!"he snapped, voice getting steadily louder throughout his little rant.

Romeo woke up at the end. "Lov..."he mumbled tiredly, a yawn cutting across his speech. "W't's going on..?"

Lovino calmed down remarkably before he spoke. "Nothing. Go back to sleep, bambino."he said softly.

Once Romeo had settled back down, Lovino looked at Feliciano. "Sorry for snapping. I just...I don't know how...what to do..."
Feliciano nodded. "Nothing we can really do about it right now but be there for him. Just let him go his own way for now, Lovi. If he needs help, he'll ask."

Lovino nodded and settled down again after that.

The group's evening was probably one of the worst since Romeo had showed up. They had gotten so used to things being calm, but everything had gotten so much more tense recently with all that was going on with Romeo. They were worried, not only for the youngest of the Vargas brothers, but for all three of them. Because they still didn't know why Romeo was sent to Feliciano and Lovino by their mother, and they didn't know how much it would take to keep all of them safe, or to what extremes Lovino would go through to keep Romeo safe like he always did for Feliciano. They just hoped that it wasn't something that could get the eldest killed.

So. Here's the new chapter. I was writing while Cry Plays: Slender was playing. Meaning a few jumpscares during this. Sorry. By the way, I realized something today...a lot of gamer terms have slipped into my speech since finally doing the marathons with PewDiePie's and Cry's videos...so if those slip in here...just don't comment on it.

Fair warning.
Now..I gotta go before I get in trouble.

Ciao~!
