So... on Friday, I was marching... I play percussion... In the band, I carry a bass drum... On the way back to the high school, my left ankle twisted, and I fell. And the drum fell on top of me... So now I have bruises on my leg and stomach... It really hurt... But apparently I'm hardcore 'cuz I just jumped back up and kept playing the cadences and ran to catch up with the rest of the band...
And I has no school today~! Yay~!
After a long and kind of tedious day (and poor Feliciano still wasn't able to play the game due to Romulus banishing the group for a while so he could have time to spend with his grandsons, although everyone returned later that night) the next day, Lovino slowly woke up and moved closer to his pillow, until he realized that the said pillow was breathing causing him to jump back with a yelp and fall to the floor and accidentally knocking the large blanket off of himself.
Antonio woke up from the loud noises. He peeked over at Lovino. "Are you alright, querido?" he asked.
"I-I'm fine dammit! Why the hell are you in my damn room?!" Lovino demanded and not noticing his… predicament just yet.
"Well, last night when I tried to leave, you grabbed my sleeve with your teeth and pulled me here. Then you got on the bed and made me lay down next to you. Then you feel asleep and I did to~!" Antonio recounted, starring up at the ceiling as he remembered yesterday's events.
"… You have GOT to be fucking kidding me…." Lovino grumbled as he looked down and finally noticed his problem. "!" Quickly grabbing the blanket and wrapping it around himself, he jumped to his feet and started shoving Antonio out the door. "G-Get out of my damn room right now!"
Surprised, Antonio was easily shoved from the room and into the hall, the door slamming behind him. "I'll be downstairs Lovi!" he called through the wood before heading to the stair case and starting down.
In Feliciano's room, the Italian sat up and yawned, his blanket slipping down to his stomach. He turned and found that Ludwig had spent the night with him. Smiling cheerfully, he reached over and gently shook the vampire. "Veh, Luddy~. It's morning. Time to wake up," he said softly.
Ludwig slowly woke up and rubbed his head. "Feliciano….? You're up….?"
"Si~! Good morning Luddy~!" Feliciano greeted. "Do you think we'll be able to play our game today?"
"Er…. Maybe…" Ludwig answered.
"That would be so much fun! It took forever to think of and then we didn't even get to play! I really want to! Please say we can, Luddy! Please!" Feliciano begged, latching onto the German boy's arm.
Ludwig sighed then nodded. "Ja…. We can play it…."
"Yay~!" the werewolf cheered. "Do you think we could get Lovi and Toni to play to? That would be fun! Oh! I've gotta get dressed!" Forgetting a very important detail, Feliciano began to get out of bed, starting to move the covers off of himself.
Ludwig sighed and pushed the Italian back onto the bed. "You just stay there. I'LL get the clothes…."
Curiously, Feliciano looked down at his chest then smiled. "Oh yeah~! I forgot I didn't have an clothes on~!" he said.
Ludwig only sighed again as he went and quickly got the clothes and brought them back to the Italian. "Here. Make sure you don't forget again."
"Veh~! Thank you Luddy~!" Feliciano said as he pulled on his shirt.
After taking a while to get dressed, Lovino slowly inched out of his room and made his way downstairs, at least until he saw Ludwig in his brother's room causing him to take a detour and stomp into his twin's room. "What... the HELL is going on here?!"
"Fratello~!" Feliciano chirped, jumping up and going over to hug the angry Italian. "Luddy spent the night~! I think I heard Toni earlier to~! Sleepovers are fun~! We should have them more~!"
"Why the hell would we do that?" Lovino scoffed and pulled his way out of the hug. "But come on dammit. We need to go see that Chinese bastard to go pick up more supplies."
"Oh yeah... I forgot about that..." Feliciano murmured, his voice filling with disappointment.
Lovino didn't noticed as he grabbed his twin's arm and started dragging him to the door. "Well come on, dammit! Let's go! But... b-be quiet too, dammit!"
Confused, Feliciano gave his brother a questioning look. "What do you want me to be quiet for?" he asked, keeping his voice low.
Lovino pointedly didn't answer back as he continued to drag his brother and started down the stairs to the living room. "Hope that bastard gives us discounts again. All that potion shit is expensive! Why the hell is that?!"
"Probably because Yao has to take care of Kiku, Kaoru, himself, and I heard he has other, younger adopted children to. And he lives above the shop and he has to pay all the bills," a voice casually answered from the kitchen doorway.
Lovino jumped and let out a yelp of surprised as he turned and stared at the speaker. "W-What the hell are you doing just standing there?!"
Antonio smiled and chuckled. "I was waiting for you, Lovi," he said.
"Why the hell were you doing that….?" Lovino asked as a deep blush covered his face and he quickly looked away.
The Spanish vampire blinked. "I told you I would," he said.
"Oh….." Lovino mumbled, then quickly grabbed Feliciano's arm and dragged him all the way out of the house and to Yao's shop without even stopping once.
"Er…. Did something happen with Lovino….?" Ludwig asked as the two vampires stopped just in front of the store behind the twins.
"I don't know... Maybe I said something...?" Antonio muttered, his voice filled with concern and worry.
Inside the shop, Yao stood behind the counter. He had know the werewolves were coming today and had aired out the store for them. "Welcome, Lovino, Feliciano," he greeted. "Here to restock?"
Lovino nodded as he dragged Feliciano over to the counter. "Sì. But… Anyway we can just buy this shit in bulk so we don't have to keep coming back every damn month? It's annoying as hell."
Yao thought for a moment. "How about I just make it for you guys ever month? You pass my store on the way to school anyway. You can just come pick it up," he offered. "That way, you guys don't have to worry about buying the ingredients or making it."
"U-Uh… Grazie…." Lovino stuttered. "That should help... How much will it cost...?"
The Chinese man smiled. "How does free sound?" he asked.
Lovino blinked in surprise then glanced away. "Y-You don't need to do that bastard… We can pay…."
The nature spirit just continued to smile at him. When Yao had turned his back to start working, Lovino leaned up against the counter and let out a sigh.
"Hey, fratello?" Feliciano ventured softly.
Lovino blinked then slowly glanced over at his twin. "? What is it?"
"... I don't wanna die..." the younger wolf said, scuffing his shoe against the floor.
"… Don't really have any fucking choice there, dammit. It happens to EVERYONE," Lovino said with a sigh.
"I don't want to leave Luddy alone... I really love him... What's going to happen to Luddy and Toni when we die, fratello? Do you think they'll more on and forget about us or...?" Feliciano asked, his question trailing off.
Lovino bit his lip as he looked away before saying, "I don't know dammit…. There's no way we CAN know…. And as I said before… there's no fucking choice about it. They're immortal bastards and we're not."
"Actually," Yao spoke up suddenly, "you could be. There is a way to make it so you could be together forever. You'll need a wizard's help, but it's possible."
"Che cosa!? Really!?" Feliciano cried hopefully.
"What the hell?! It can happen?!" Lovino demanded then remembered something. "Wait… Feliciano… Wasn't burger bastard bragging about how his new damn boyfriend was a wizard….?"
Feliciano gasped. "Oh mio dio! Fratellone! W-We could do this! We could be with Luddy and Toni forever!" he said, tears of joy building in his eyes.
"Well?! What are you waiting for dammit?! Let's go!" Lovino exclaimed as he grabbed his twin's arm and ran out the door at top speed.
Antonio and Ludwig stared after the werewolves, looking incredibly confused. Antonio waved a hand in front of his face to banish the dust cloud that had been kicked up. "So... Did they forget we were here...? Or did they do that on purpose...?" he asked.
"I'm not sure….." Ludwig sighed as he cleared the dust away from his own face. "But we better follow the two. It seems like it's something important." Then he went running after the two brothers, Antonio close behind him.
The twins sprinted down the street as fast as they could, not caring about the incredulous stares they received. They arrived at the merman's house and knocked harshly on the door. "ALFRED! ALFRED! OPEN THE DOOR! WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW!" Feliciano yelled, pounding on the door with his fist.
After a few minutes that seemed like an eternity, the American opened the door. "Geez dudes! Don't kill my door! It has a hard enough time as it is when Iggs slams it when he's angry! ... Which is pretty much always... Anyway!" he chirped, a bright smile growing on his face. "What can I do for you guys?"
"Your bastard boyfriend! Where the hell is he?! We need to talk to him right now!" Lovino demanded as Antonio and Ludwig finally caught up to them.
However, the question was answered when a loud British voice called out from instead the house. "Alfred! What in the world is going on out there?! And damn it you! You forced me to play this bloody video game with you so don't leave me in the middle of it by myself!"
The moment Feliciano registered the voice, he suddenly pushed Ludwig back and crouched protectively in front of him, growling slightly.
Lovino did the same as he to crouched down a little and moved in front of Antonio while growling a little.
The three boys stared at the werewolves in confusion. Finally, Antonio ventured a question. "Lovi...? What's the matter...?" he asked.
"It's HIM…." Lovino growled and kept his eyes trained on the door. "That asshole who shrunk the both of you before…."
Then, before anyone else could say another word, a blond with very large eyes brows came up behind Alfred and smacked him upside the head, "Git! Didn't you hear me before?!"
"Ow! I'm sorry Iggs! I had to see who was killing my door! It's my friends!" Alfred cried, holding his head.
Feliciano growled and shifted further in front of the German vampire.
"My NAME is Arthur! NOT 'Iggs'! Learn to say my name right!" Arthur scolded then glared over at the werewolves and vampires and let out a groan. "Oh…. It's you bunch is it…? What do all of you want….?"
"THIS is your fucking boyfriend?!" Lovino growled and shot a glare at Alfred. "THIS asshole?! He's already fucking cursed them once!"
Alfred hugged Arthur close to himself as gave Lovino a hurt look. "B-But... Artie is so cool! I love him!" he whined.
Backing up so that he could feel Ludwig behind him, Feliciano forced himself to straighten and smile, although it looked incredibly painful for him to do so. "Ciao, Arthur," he managed to said between his clenched teeth.
Lovino tightly grit his teeth together as he ground out, "We're here because we have a fucking favor to ask you…."
"Oh really…?" Arthur scoffed and crossed his arms after shoving Alfred away. "And give me just one good reason WHY I should even bother to help you."
"Aww, please, Artie? They're my friends and like us! It would be so nice and heroic of you!" Alfred begged, his sparkling blue eyes starring intensely at the Brit as he stuck out his lower lip in a slight pout. "Please? Pretty please with those yummy scones of yours on top~?"
Arthur glared at the merman for a few seconds until he let out a long sigh and said, "Fine… I'll do it. You BETTER be happy about this Alfred." Then he turned back to the werewolves. "What do you need my help with?"
Lovino glanced at Antonio before looking back at Arthur. "We were told it's something that only a wizard can do. Apparently, there's some way to make US immortal so we won't fucking die and leave these bastards behind and alone. Can you do it or not, bastard?"
Arthur nodded. "Yes… Well… It would be YOU doing it. I can only help with the process." Noticing the confused looks he was getting, he continued. "I'll make a potion for you to drink… Then… You need to exchange blood. It will turn you into what the other is for a day or so until it wears off and you'll be bonded together, living as long as the other one will. Does that make sense?"
Lovino slowly nodded then glanced at Feliciano. "Feli….? I'm trying this shit first… You wait until it's over with for me…. So we know it's safe…."
Instantly, Feliciano began to protest, not wanting his brother to take such a risk without him.
Lovino gave Feliciano a very stern glare with his eyes blazing gold. "Feliciano… It's a fucking ORDER that you wait. And no bitching about it either."
The younger Italian became silent, glaring at the ground angrily.
"…. Er… I guess I'll go call Gilbert and Francis for them to help too…." Ludwig awkwardly said, then went to go use Alfred's phone after being told where it was.
"I need to get started on the potion," Arthur sighed. "All of you just wait for about twenty minutes for me to make it."
Antonio nodded. "Alright."
Without another word, Arthur turned and left the room. He returned promptly twenty minutes later carrying two cups of a blue, slightly smoking potion and at the same time, both Francis and Gilbert arrived at the house too.
"Well? Are you ready?" Arthur asked. "But we'll need to go into a different room though. I highly doubt a living room's the best place for this."
Antonio took Lovino's hand and nodded again, following the British wizard into another room. The moment they were gone, Feliciano turned and began to slam his fist as hard as he could repeatedly into the wall, swearing loudly in furious Italian.
Ludwig jumped a little in surprise and stared at Feliciano in shock. "Feliciano….?"
The werewolf whipped around and glared at him. "Che cosa?" he spat. His eyes were beginning to turn gold from his fury.
Already knowing what the problem probably was, Ludwig said, "You know he's only doing that to keep you safe. It's not to make you mad." Then he glanced at the direction they went. "But... er… I think we ALL better go with them in case they need help…."
Feliciano continued to glare at him silently, although his eyes slowly returned to their original color. "It does make me mad," he muttered, storming past the vampire and following his twin and the Spaniard.
Ludwig sighed and followed after him while being closely followed by Francis and Gilbert.
