Happy Monday everyone~! I keep forgetting to say this but Dogsrule and wrote another story together. It's called 'Soul Love' and it's a Hetalia and Soul Eater story. There is just very little Soul Eater in it XD It's on her profile so go read it please~! :D Parts are still the same! :D
Feliciano vaulted over a pair of girls sitting on a bench, startling them. He hit the ground and rolled before springing up and taking off again. He had to run. Run, run, run! Papa was coming! RUN, FELICIANO! RUN!
Ludwig chased after him and was slowly gaining until he caught up and pulled Feliciano back. "Feliciano! Stop! You'll run into something and hurt yourself!"
Feliciano shrieked and swatted at Ludwig. "No! Get away! Don't touch me!" He yanked desperately away from Ludwig, trying to run.
Ludwig held on as gently as he could. "Nein! You need to calm down! No one is going to hurt you here!"
"P-Please! Let me go!" Feliciano sobbing, collapsing onto his knees. "Per favore... per favore..." His trembling was becoming more violent and spastic.
Ludwig still held on, but sensing that something was not right, he gently moved Feliciano into an empty classroom and shut the door. "Feliciano… Just please calm down. No one is going to hurt you."
Feliciano pulled away from Ludwig and hugged himself tightly, his voice becoming lower and turning into growls and snarls rather than words. Lovino rushed into the room then. "Get the hell away from him right now!"
Meanwhile, Lovino finally realized what the problem was, causing him to growl and punch the floor. "Dammit! How could I be so fucking stupido?!
Antonio crouched beside him worriedly. "Lovi, what's the matter? What happened?" he asked.
Lovino quickly jumped to his feet. "I'll tell you later dammit! We have to go find him! If he gets too fucking stressed right now, he'll change even without the damn full moon!" He exclaimed, then went running down the hallway where his brother had went.
Antonio's eyes widened and the trio stared at each other in shock before bolting after him. "I-I didn't know that could happen!" Antonio cried.
"I think I heard about something like this," Francis spoke up as he kept Lovino in his line of sight as the three vampires chased after him. "Werewolves are very temperamental. Any very strong emotion can knock them off balance, causing them to change. In this case, it doesn't matter if the moon is full or not... I think it's some sort of a safety mechanism for them."
Using his sharp sense of smell, Lovino quickly pinpointed where Feliciano and Ludwig were. With an extra burst of speed, he rushed into the classroom and yelled at Ludwig. "Get the hell away from him right now!"
Feliciano's head shot up and he whined at his twin, his entire being shaking. Suddenly, he threw back his head and let out a howl that echoed throughout the room and hall. He collapsed forward onto his hands and knees. Then he began to change.
His finger nails grew sharper into claws and his teeth became fangs. For the first time, the vampires saw Feliciano open his eyes but they had already turned into a bright, glowing gold.
"S-Shit! H-His scent is changing!" Lovino spat. Then he ran over and shoved Ludwig away. "All of you bastards stay away from him! I'm the only one who can get near him now since we're the same damn thing and family! That fucking potion only works for the full moon!"
Then he gently grabbed Feliciano's shoulders and exclaimed, "D-Dammit! Calm down already dumbass! Calm down right now!"
Feliciano howled again, fur beginning to grow along his arms. He grabbed onto Lovino's shirt and pulled him close, holding onto him protectively and burying his face into Lovino's neck, whimpering from the pain of transforming. His claws dug into the fabric of his brother's clothes as he fought his regain control.
The vampires had backed away to the outskirts of the room, making sure no one was coming towards the room and being sure not to get in the way of the twins. Gilbert was watching carefully, ready to fight if he had to. He didn't want to fight the small Italian but if the wolf attacked his family, he was going to fight back.
Ludwig stood next to Gilbert and tightly clenched his fists. He wanted to help Feliciano but it would make things worse if he tried to step in.
Lovino hugged Feliciano close and started rubbing his back. "I know it hurts… Just try to calm down…. It's alright… Nothing's going to happen. Just please calm down... for me. Your fratellone. Just calm down," He gently whispered to Feliciano.
Slowly, Feliciano's labored breathing became soft pants as he pulled himself back under control. The fur disappeared and his teeth and nails sank back to their usual length. Feliciano groaned in pain as this happened, holding onto Lovino even tighter and giving one last whimper. He closed his eyes and the glowing irises where hidden once more. "G-Grazie, fratellone..." he panted, exhausted.
Lovino nodded. "Prego…." He mumbled as he gently helped Feliciano stand up. Then he started moving him to the door. "Come on. You need to lay down. I think the nurse's office is close." Glaring over at the vampires he spat, "What the hell are you waiting for?! Get the damn door open!"
Feliciano kept his face angled towards the ground and held onto Lovino's hand tightly, not looking at any of the vampires.
Gilbert sighed softly and patted his back gently. "Hey, Fels. It's alright man. Unawesome stuff happens. Don't worry about it," he muttered, attempting to be comforting.
"V-Veh... Grazie, Gilbert..." Feliciano said, giving him a weak smile.
Antonio jumped and yanked the door open, tearing it partially off it's hinges. He stared at it a moment before shrugging. "No one will notice," he said.
Ludwig sighed (While Francis laughed and tsked) and said, "Antonio….. You and Gilbert need to stop breaking things….."
Lovino facepalmed then adjusted Feliciano around so his arm was looped over his shoulder. "Why WOULDN'T anyone notice that, you bastard…? But come on," He said then started dragging Feliciano forward until someone roughly bumped into him and almost made him drop Feliciano. "Watch where you're fucking going asshole!" He spat.
The teen stopped and smirked. "Why don't you?" he asked flippantly before continuing down the hall.
Feliciano raised his head and gasped softly. "That was him! That was the guy who stole my bottle!" he said.
Lovino glanced at Feliciano then glared at the teen's back and growled. "YOU'RE the asshole who fucking stole from MIO fratellino?! If I wasn't fucking holding him up, I'd punch you in your smug-ass face!"
Sadiq stopped and turned back to face them, his mask hiding the top of his face. "Oh, right. You're the kid that freaked out when I took you're bottle like the baby you are. Did you go crying to this guy? Loser," he said, smirking. "This weak looking dude and Ludwig. And if you have Ludwig then you have Gilbert, Francis and Antonio as well huh? What's the matter? Can't fight for yourself?"
Feliciano flinched at each question and tightened his grip on Lovino, pressing his face into his twin's shirt.
Lovino growled and trembled as his eyes changed to a bright gold. "I am fucking warning you right now…." He growled as his nails and teeth started looking sharper. "Don't you DARE talk to him that way asshole!" He exclaimed now shaking and growling even more.
Antonio noticed the changes immediately. "Lovino, calm down. Sadiq is just a jerk," he said, stepping in front of him and starring into his golden eyes with his own forest green ones. "You'll do something you'll regret if you aren't careful."
"F-Fratello," Feliciano whispered, feeling Lovino's claws pricking him. "It's okay. He's a meanie but it's just words. Ignore them." He reached up and placed his hands over his twin's ears to bloke out sound then moved in front of Antonio and mouthed something in Italian. Calmati.
"I'm…. I'm trying dammit…." Lovino managed to get out before it was lost to growls and snarls. Then he started trembling more and his clothes began tearing at the seams while his teeth sharpened and his nail changed to claws. A second later, he fell to his knees and howled, shaking even more as he started to get covered by dark brown fur.
Acting quickly, Ludwig snuck up behind Sadiq and knocked him out. Then he called over to the others, "Get him out of here before someone sees him!"
The trio moved towards Lovino only to snapped at by Feliciano. "No! Stay away from him! I can help him on my own!" he growled. He turned and, with a surprising show of strength, picked Lovino up and ran into the classroom they had just left.
When he was safely inside, he gently set Lovino back on the ground and hugged him tightly, the twins' rolls now reversed from only minutes ago. "Fratellone, calm down... It's okay... It's me... Fratellino. I need you to be calm for me... Shh... Shh... Come on... Breath, fratellone, breath..." he coaxed gently, stroking Lovino's hair lightly.
Lovino panted and growled as he glanced at Feliciano with his face covered in sweat. Then he tried to pull away and go to the door, clawing at the floor as he did so.
"No, fratello. I need you to stay with me. Please don't leave me alone," Feliciano said, sounding slightly panicked as he brought Lovino back towards him.
Lovino howled and scratched the floor again then used a burst of strength to break out of Feliciano's grasp and started running for the door before collapsing onto his knees and curling up as he shook and changed even more into his wolf form.
"LOVINO!"
Outside the room, Ludwig turned to the others and said, "We need to hide Sadiq somewhere. And two of us will stay here and keep watch."
Gilbert sighed. "He's a dumbass. I always wanted something bad to happen to him so he could learn when to shut his fucking mouth. This wasn't really what I'd had in mind."
"Oui. I agree," Francis sighed. "I just hope we don't get caught because of this."
"We still need to hide him regardless. With any luck, he won't remember what happened," Ludwig said then glanced at Antonio. "Don't worry. Feliciano will pull him out of it," He said, trying to comfort the Spanish vampire, at least until they heard another loud howl coming from inside the room.
Antonio rushed towards the door onto the be stopped by the other members of the trio.
"Toni, stop it! You heard Lovino already! You can't go near him now! He'll attack you!" Gilbert said, wrapping his arms around the Spaniards chest.
"LOVINO!" Feliciano's voice screamed. Antonio threw the two vampires off and ran into the room, freezing from what he saw.
Feliciano was crouched beside an almost-completely-in-wolf-form Lovino, looking terrified as he spoke in rapid Italian, trying desperately to calm his twin.
Lovino froze at the sound. But when he heard the door, his head snapped up. He stared at the vampire before his expression morphed into a snarl and he crouched down and prepared to spring.
"Fratello no!" Feliciano cried, trying to push Lovino back onto the ground with all of his strength.
Antonio instantly realized his mistake. He shouldn't have let Lovino see him. 'That fucking potion only works for the full moon!' Lovino's words echoed in his mind. Slowly, he stepped back.
Ludwig also took a step back and bit his lip. "Verdammt… Now what do we do….?"
Lovino, now a full wolf, backed away then pressed his back legs down before jumping clear over Feliciano's head. Then he ran and launched himself at Antonio with a loud angry howl.
Before either vampire could move, Feliciano sprung. He slammed himself into Lovino's back, driving him into the ground. He began to shriek in Italian and he picked up a chair. Both vampires knew what he was going to do but were to slow to stop him before the chair crashed down and splintered into pieces over Lovino's head.
Lovino yipped in pain and shock as he fell to the ground. Then he tried to get back up but slumped over in unconsciousness and slowly started turning human again while in tattered clothes due to him ripping them just before.
Ludwig was the first to speak. "F-Feliciano….? W-What... did you just….?"
Feliciano didn't answer. He fell to the floor beside his brother, finally knocked out from his earlier wolf attack and the build up of stress.
Antonio cautiously stepped forward and picked Lovino up, cradling him close. "Ludwig... Do you remember what Romulus said last night?" he asked softly. "About helping them?"
Ludwig walked over to Feliciano and gently picked him up. Then he turned to Antonio and said, "Ja, I remember…. Why do you ask?"
"Hm? What did who say last night?" Francis asked.
Antonio looked up. "Their Abuelo asked us... to help them. They haven't healed from their past. He thinks we are the ones who can help them." He turned to Ludwig. "I'm going to do it. I'm going to help Lovino."
Ludwig nodded in confirmation and held Feliciano close. "Ja. And I will help Feliciano. In any way I can."
A moment later, Lovino slowly started to stir and let out a moan and he held his head. "Ow…. My damn head…."
"Lovino..." Antonio said, all his attention shifting to the werewolf in his arms. He stood, holding Lovino and left the room, heading towards the Nurse's office. "Don't move to much, Lovi. You got brained by a chair."
Lovino looked away and mumbled, "I remember that, dammit…. Let me go. I need to go call nonno and get lectured about losing my damn temper and getting my clothes ripped to shreds because of it." Then he started trying to move out of the vampire's arms.
Antonio wouldn't let him go, however. "You aren't going to get in trouble, Lovino. I'm taking you to the nurse. She can patch you up and fix your clothes and your Abuelo will never have to know," he said, continuing down the hall.
Lovino shook his head no and continued to struggle. "No! I'm already healed dammit! A-And she might find out so I'll just take the damn lecture about the clothes!"
Antonio stopped but shook his head. "Fine, we won't see her. But I am taking you to the Home Ec. room. I can fix your clothes quickly." He changed directions and started towards another room. "Just remember to be quiet. The walls around that side of the building are thin. You don't want a nosy teacher or student finding us, do you?"
"F-Fine dammit… J-Just be quick about it…." Lovino muttered and settled down a bit.
Antonio nodded and used his vampiric speed to get to the Home Economics classroom as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, back in the classroom, Feliciano shifted slightly and sat up. "Ludwig...?" he asked, sniffing softly. "W-Where's fratello?"
Ludwig looked down at him and said, "Antonio's taking him to the Nurse's Office. Don't worry."
Feliciano wiggled out of his arms and stood, brushing bits of broken chair off his shirt and pants. "Veh... Antonio really should have stayed back..." he said quietly. "That was really dangerous. He could have been hurt." He turned to Francis and Gilbert. "Thank you for not attacking him. That wouldn't have helped."
Gilbert waved him off. "It's cool. He didn't hurt anybody."
"Oui~," Francis agreed. "There's nothing you need to worry your adorable little head about~."
That made Feliciano smile lightly. "No one has been this kind to fratello or me before... It's nice..." he said quietly.
Ludwig went to speak but Francis cut him off. "Well of course we would be! Why wouldn't we be nice to such cute petit Italians~?"
Feliciano shook his head. "No else felt the need to be to us. They didn't like us. They were afraid. Other kids could tell we weren't the same as them," he said. "It probably didn't help that I never opened my eyes around them."
"They didn't do anything to you or Lovino did they?" Ludwig asked with a frown on his face.
"It just depended on who was around and where we were. Sometimes, they would beat us up. Other times, they would just say really mean things," Feliciano answered.
"...I'm sorry," Ludwig said sincerely. "I wish I could have helped you then."
"Veh. It wasn't all bad. Sometimes they would just ignore us and leave us alone. Fratello would show me how to play games and tell me stories," Feliciano said, smiling fondly at a memory.
"You guys are close, huh?" Gilbert said, his eyes softening in a rare moment of kindness.
Feliciano nodded. "Fratello has always been there for me so I will always be there for him," he said firmly.
When they finally reached the Home Ec. room, Lovino slowly pulled himself out of Antonio's arms while looking down at the ground. "M-Mi dispiace…. F-For before…." He mumbled, barely audible.
Antonio smiled. "It's alright, Lovi. Let's get your clothes fixed up." He went to a drawer and pulled out thread and a needle. "Just hold still. I won't prick you, I promise," he said, moving back to the Italian's side.
Lovino nodded and stayed still. After a few quiet moments, he said, "I hate it when I'm like that…. Everything distorted in my head….. The only one I can kind of recognize is Feliciano but that's only because I can smell that he's my brother…. To me then, nonno smells like just another human... and well... I guess you already know about you bastards…."
He nodded. "Si. I kind of understand. I know it's not the same, but if we don't drink at least once a month... Everyone except for us smell so delicious. I disgust myself when I say that, but it's the truth." He leaned forward and bit the thread, breaking it. "All done Lovi~!" he said.
Lovino pulled away and stretched. "Heh," He said with a humorless laugh. "I bet I wouldn't smell delicious to you bastard, given what I am." Then he stopped and looked away. "But... U-Uh… D-During the next full moon can you… come over and just hang around the house then…..? N-Not that I want you there but... i-it would be okay to have someone other than Feliciano who understands this shit be there."
Antonio smiled again and nodded. "Sure, Lovi. But... the problem is, the others would have to come as well. We don't do anything without each other. Even though Gilbert and Ludwig are the only two actually related, they are all like my brothers," he said.
Lovino growled and huffed. "Fine dammit. Let the assholes come, but tell them to behave their stupid asses or else nonno will fucking shoot them and I'll bite them."
The Spaniard laughed. "They'll behave Lovi. Don't worry. They are more civilized than they seem."
Lovino scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Could have fooled me bastard." Then he faced Antonio and held up his finger. "But, I have some damn rules for when you bastards come. We'll probably be kept home from school that day, but don't come until after the moon's up. The both of us fucking hate it when other people see us when we're that sick and when we're changing. One of us will let you in, but give us time to work with the damn door because paws are hard as hell to work with. And also, as you probably already noticed we can't fucking talk when we're like that. So just watch our body language and the sounds of our growls to understand us. You got all of that bastard?"
Antonio nodded. "Si. I'll remember. I'll tell the others to. Gracias, Lovi," he said.
