Sorry it's a bit later than usual, but I got a school delay this morning and slept in, then remembered I still had to edit the chapter. Way to go, me. =_=;;
During the week, it seems like I always think of so many things I want to tell you guys, but I forgot most of it whenever I go to write it! Weird... Well anyway, happy Monday guys.
Last week before Christmas break~! *loud cheering*
The next morning, Lovino and Feliciano awoke to fine themselves alone. Before leaving, Antonio had carried Lovino upstairs to his room, and Ludwig had tucked Feliciano in. As the two started on their school morning routine, Romulus called them downstairs to the kitchen.
"Boys! Nonno needs to talk to you! Can you come down here, please? It won't take long!" the elder Italian yelled up stairs.
Exiting their room in various states of dress, the twins hobbled down the stairs tiredly and went to met their grandfather, wondering what he wanted so early in the morning.
"Shit…. This is about the damn rabbit…. I just know it…." Lovino muttered under his breath then staggered into the kitchen without another word.
Feliciano heard Lovino muttering to himself and grunted, to tired to form real words yet as he slumped into a seat at the breakfast table. Once both boys where seated, Romulus sets plates of food in front of them, then sat down, looking excited about something.
Lovino shot their grandfather a dark look as his head flopped down onto the table next to the plate. "What's that fucking happy look for, you old bastard….?" He spat, still in a foul mood due to being woken up early.
"I have a surprise for you both~!" Romulus chirped.
"What is it, Nonno?" Feliciano mumbled, his voice slurring slightly.
"If it's some stupido 'I finally got a hot girlfriend' shit, then I'm fucking smacking you and going back to bed…." Lovino growled and covered his face with his arm.
Romulus crossed his arms and pouted. "Oh, come on, Lovi! Have a little faith in your Nonno!" he whined.
Feliciano patted his arm gently. "What did you want to tell us, Nonno?" he asked again, wanting to know before he either fell back asleep or had to leave for school.
"Just… fucking tell us already, bastard…" Lovino slurred and started closing his eyes.
"I'm giving you guys an early Christmas present~!" Romulus said, clapping his hands together loudly to wake the two up.
Feliciano, who's head had started to drop towards the table, jerked back up. "That's nice of you, Nonno, but why can't it wait till Christmas?" he asked.
"And why the hell did you randomly decide this shit NOW bastard…..?" Lovino demanded with a now confused look on his face. "Well….?"
"Because I'm to excited to keep it a secret any longer~!" Romulus squealed. "I'm getting you both your own cars~!"
Both boys' mouths dropped open at the unexpected news and silence filled the room.
"A-Are you serious, you bastard?!" Lovino stuttered excitedly. "W-What the hell brought this shit on?!"
"Well, you both have shown a lot of maturity this year, and I am very proud of you. I thought it would be nice to have your own cars so you could get around without me needing to be here. But," he said, "this doesn't mean you can just leave whenever. At least tell me first okay? I'll buy the cars and pay for the insurance."
Feliciano was bouncing in his chair with happiness. "Veh, veh! Thank you, Nonno! Grazie! Grazie grazie grazie!" he squealed.
"Oh, fuck yeah! I am SO driving all over, dammit! Watch out, you bastards! Lovino Vargas is on the road!" Lovino cheered as he did a fist pump into the air.
Romulus smiled, happy that his daring grandsons were excited. "I'll take you to look at cars after school today, alright? So get back as quick as you can. If you want, Antonio and Ludwig can come. Oh! And one more thing." Romulus set two tiny, furry creatures on the table. "Yao brought them back this morning."
"Veh~! Gino~! Guess what~!" Feliciano squealed, scooping his kitten into his arm as he got up and started towards the stairs. "Mama is getting a car~! Isn't that exciting~?" The kitten mewed.
"You're not a damn 'mama' Feliciano…. You're MALE..." Lovino muttered as he picked up Gio. "So… What the hell do you think about this car shit, you damn cat….?"
Gio let out a small huff at the way he was addressed, but he still purred a little and licked Lovino's hand.
"I am to! I'm Gino's mama!" Feliciano insisted.
"Whatever, dammit," Lovino retorted then set Gio down. "But come on. We have to go to school, dumbass."
"Aww... Mama loves you Gino! I'll see you later~!" Feliciano cooed, kissing the kitten's head before gently setting him down and grabbing his schoolbag.
"He is a damn CAT, not a baby, dammit!" Lovino scolded as he grabbed his own bag and followed after his twin.
"He's my baby!" Feliciano argued.
When the twins reached the school, their argument had grown to ridiculous proportions. "I am Gino's mama and Ludwig is his papa! He's my bambino!" Feliciano yelled the moment the two got out of the car, catching the attention of almost everyone in the school yard, including their friends.
"Like HELL that bastard is! The day he becomes a fucking papa to ANYTHING of yours is the same fucking day I go naked and fucking TAP dance on top of a fucking cake!" Lovino yelled back then started to stomp off. "And BOTH Gio AND Gino are fucking cats! So they CAN'T be a damn bambino! EVER!"
"THEY ARE TO!" Feliciano shrieked, following after him. The gang exchanged glances and quickly made their way over to the twins.
"Dudes," Alfred said. "What's the deal? Why are you screaming at each other?"
Lovino rounded on him this time. "We're NOT fucking screaming! And! And! Mind your own damn business bastard!"
"Dude, you totally are. What the hell got your panties in a twist?" the American asked.
Gilbert snorted a little. "Something about Feli being a mutti and West somehow being a vati? Is there something you need to tell us, Ludwig?" he teased.
"Nein, Gilbert. It's your own imagination making things worse," Ludwig ground out, trying to keep himself from smacking his brother upside the head.
"And besides~," Francis butted in with a purr. "If they WANTED a child they would need another way to do it~."
"WILL ALL OF YOU STRONZI JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" Lovino screeched then stormed into the school, somehow kicking up a large cloud of dust as he did so.
Feliciano just stood there pouting. "I am to Gino's mama," he said before following after his brother.
Once the two where gone, Gilbert and Alfred started to laugh. "That was great! I've never see Lovino so angry before!" Gilbert cackled.
"At least Feli wants to be a mama! Better than having it forced on him!" Alfred laughed.
"He CAN'T be a mother you two," Ludwig said with a sigh. "He's male. It's physiologically impossible."
"You try explaining that to him and see where it gets you," Gilbert said. "What are you going to do if in the future Feli says he wants kids? And besides. One of you will have to be the mother figure, and you just don't work it well enough." This caused most of the group to laugh while the politer ones either simply smiled a little or chuckled softly.
"Y-You know what I mean!" Ludwig stuttered, although none of the others chose to listen to him.
In the school, Feliciano walked down the empty hall to his locker. Lovino had already gone ahead to his classroom and there was still plenty of time for the other students would arrive. He opened the metal door halfway only to have it slam shut suddenly, almost crushing his fingers. He luckily pulled away in time and turned to see who it was. A masked face greeted him. Sadiq.
Feliciano frowned a little. "Ciao, Sadiq," he said, trying to be nice even though he was pretty sure he hated this child.
"Well well…. Look who's here…." Sadiq nonchalantly said with a slight smirk on his face. Then his smirk grew as he whispered to Feli. "The little bad WOLF."
Feliciano repressed a shudder, his heart beat quickening. "Wolf...?" he asked, sounding confused.
"What? Would you prefer dog…? You're both furry enough," Sadiq retorted with a gleam in his eyes. "But… No… WOLF just fits you, doesn't it? You and your brother? Got your own little pack, huh?" Then he discreetly pulled out a small stack of photos that he held up just enough for the Italian to see.
Feliciano glanced down at the photos and his eyes shot wide. "H-How...?" he whispered. "How did y-you get those...?"
"Took them myself of course," Sadiq said, now smirking broadly. "But….. what to do with them is the problem… What do you think, wolfie? Want to put on a free show for the public?"
Feliciano growled. "Give those to me," he said lowly.
Sadiq continued smirked as he handed the pictures to the Italian. "You know those aren't the only ones right? I'm not that stupid I wouldn't have a backup plan. And no. I'm not telling where I have them either. Have to have some form of insurance to keep me from being mauled by a monster."
Feliciano trembled in fury as his eyes began to glow gold. "What do you want?" he spat.
"Hmm…. What do I want…." Sadiq repeated as he pretended to think about it.
The Italian growled again, his eyes glowing brighter.
"Oh… I know… How about a kiss? Every day during lunch, right in front of your boyfriend. AND…. You be my own personal servant too."
"Che cosa?!" Feliciano shrieked. "No! I won't do that to Luddy!"
"Oh… You WILL…" Sadiq retorted. "IF you don't want anyone finding out about you and your freak twin. And it doesn't have be a major kiss. Just one on the cheek, no problem with that. Oh, and you can't tell anyone about our little 'agreement' or I give out these photos to any and everyone like it's candy."
Feliciano shook with anger, his nails and teeth sharpening. "Y-You..." he growled.
"Ah ah ah~~," Sadiq said as he wagged his finger back and forth. "I wouldn't do that here, wolfie. We ARE in a public place right now, surrounded by people. It wouldn't end well for you."
Taking deep, calming breaths, Feliciano turned and stormed off down the hall, off to find a paper shredder for the photos.
When the lunch bell rang, Feliciano went to his locker as usual, putting his things away and taking out his lunch. The unusual thing, however, was the scowl that seemed etched into his face. Many of the students did a double take when they saw him, thinking him at first to be his brother.
Slamming his locker shut with more force than was necessary and putting a dent into the metal, Feliciano went to Ludwig's locker. "Ludwig," he said, his voice flat. "I love you. I really do. No matter what happens, never forget that, okay?"
Ludwig blinked in confusion at how the Italian was acting. Slowly nodding, he said, "Ja….. But… is.. something wrong….?"
But then, a second later, an arm shot out and started dragging Feliciano off down the hallway. "What the hell is going on with you, dumbass?"
"You'll find out soon," Feliciano muttered, pulling away from his twin and entering the cafeteria. All their friends, minus Ludwig and Antonio who usually waited for them, where already seated. Sadiq winked at him from three tables away. The Italian shuddered.
"Let's just eat quickly," he said, sliding into an open chair and taking out his and Lovino's food. He handed his brother his lunch and proceeded to pick at his own, his stomach rolling and his anger barely in check for what he would have to do.
"…. Why…..? What the hell is going on with you, dammit…?" Lovino asked, trying to test his twin's reaction while at the same time Ludwig and Antonio had walked into the cafeteria and was just starting to walk over to the table.
"Fratello... Promise you won't hate me, no matter what I do, ever," Feliciano said, setting down his fork and giving his twin a serious look.
Lovino frowned confused as he stared at Feliciano. "….. Why the hell would I hate you….? Are you feeling alright…?" He asked and went to go check Feliciano's forehead for signs of a fever.
"Stop it," Feliciano snapped, moving back from his twin. "I just need you to tell me you won't hate me." By this point, both Antonio and Ludwig had sat down and the twins had gained the attention of the entire table. "Please. Promise you won't hate me."
Lovino glared back as his own eyes flashed gold for a second. "Not until you fucking tell me what the hell is wrong!"
Feliciano gave a soft sigh. He couldn't put it off any longer. Lunch would be over soon. It was time. He stood up, his legs shaking slightly. "I'll have to made due without it..." he whispered. He looked around at everyone, his eyes coming to a rest on Ludwig. "I hate this school," he said, before turning and leaving. Wide-eyed stares were exchanged and they all quickly turned to watch the Italian who was getting closer to a certain Middle Eastern boy.
"The hell is he doing with Sadiq...?" Gilbert muttered out loud.
Feliciano took a deep breath and tried not to shudder when Sadiq smiled at him. "I hate you," he said.
"You don't have to like me. Just kiss me like a good little pet," Sadiq mocked, leaning down and turning his head slightly. Hating himself for letting this happen, Feliciano closed his eyes an leaned forward. However, Sadiq had changed his mind about where he wanted the kiss. Before Feliciano could pull back, the Turk turned his head back, connecting his lips with Feliciano's. When the Italian instantly moved to get away, Sadiq wrapped an arm around his back pressing the werewolf against his chest to keep him there as they kissed.
As he watched, Ludwig could only stand there in frozen shock.
However, Lovino had an entirely different response. Jumping to his feet, he start rushing over with his fist at the ready to punch Sadiq right in the face. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! GET THE FUCK OFF MIO FRATELLINO RIGHT NOW!"
Feliciano pulled away and spun around grabbing Lovino's wrist tightly. "Fratello, stop!" he yelped, terrified that if he was attacked, Sadiq would go back on his word.
The Turkish boy merely smirked. "See you tomorrow, sugar lips," he purred before pressing a kiss to Feliciano's hair and walking off. The Italian shivered from the contact in disgust.
Lovino ignored his twin as he struggled and cursed, his eyes now glowing bright gold while his teeth and nails started lengthening.
"Antonio! Aiutami!" Feliciano called. He couldn't hold Lovino with one arm. The Spaniard rushed over, giving Feliciano funny look. Scooping Lovino into his arms, the vampire quickly ran from the room, leaving Feliciano to face the rest of the group alone. The Italian glanced nervously at the others.
Gilbert looked furious, his crimson eyes narrowed.
Alfred looked completely shocked, having no words for this situation.
Ludwig went to say something but stopped short as he shook his head then walked out of the cafeteria.
Feliciano watched the German, feeling his heart break at his lover's expression.
"F-Feliciano-kun... W-What was….?" Kiku started to ask but trailed off.
"Feli…..?" Francis tentatively said. "Why did you just do that…..?"
Feliciano hung his head in shame. "I-I... I can't explain," he said softly.
"Well you better fucking try!" Gilbert yelled, absolutely livid.
Feliciano flinched back, frightened. "I want to..." he said, his voice tiny and fearful. "I want to so badly... But I can't... I really can't... G-Gilbert... Everyone... I'm sorry... I do love Ludwig. I really do..."
"Then why the hell did you just rip his fucking heart out like it was nothing?!" Gilbert screamed, standing up and slamming his fist so hard onto the table, it cracked. "I don't ever want to see you near Ludwig again. You stay away from him." The vampire's eyes flashed with anger and he bared his fangs at the Italian.
With a soft sob, Feliciano turned and sprinted from the lunch room.
On the other side of the cafeteria, Sadiq smiled. All according to plan~.
At the same time, Lovino was growling and struggling to get free as he continued to change.
Antonio held him firmly, running into an empty classroom. He hugged the Italian to his chest. "Lovi," he murmured, "You need to calm down. You can't change here. You need to calm down."
However, Lovino was beyond hearing him as he snarled and completely changed this time, breaking away from the vampire and rushing for the door before Antonio could catch him with a loud pissed off howl ringing through the walls.
The vampire managed to snatch him back before he could run out into the school. "Lovino!" he yelled. "Calm down! You need to turn back! Quickly! Before someone sees you and discovers what you and Feliciano are!" An idea occurred to him. "And you need to find Feli! I bet he needs you now!" he added.
Lovino howled again as he struggled then he stopped short as he squeezed his eyes shut and started trembling.
Antonio held him close, worried about his little Italian.
Finally, slowly but surely, Lovino started to turn back to human form.
Antonio gently settled Lovino into the corner and sprinted from the room to find the Italian some clothes. He first went to the nurse's office, knowing that she keep new underwear for all the kids, just in case, then went to the gym and got Lovino's gym clothes. He ran back to the classroom just as Lovino was finishing changing. He held out the bundle to him.
Now done changing, Lovino snatched the clothes away and put them on. Then he started heading back to the cafeteria as quickly as he could.
The Spaniard followed after quickly, worried about what could have happened while they were gone.
When the two reentered the room, they saw that Gilbert, Ludwig, and Feliciano had left, but Kiku, Francis, and Alfred were still there. As they neared the table, Antonio asked, "Where did they go?"
The remaining three glanced around at each other. After a moment of silence, one of them spoke.
"Well….. er…. Gilbert-kun went to look for Ludwig-san….." Kiku answered nervously.
"Where the hell is Feliciano?" Lovino demanded before anyone could continue.
"W-We don't know," Alfred said, a little scared by what Lovino's reaction was going to be. "He ran off just a little bit after you and Toni left."
Lovino only growled back in reply then turned and ran off to search for his twin.
Antonio watched him leave then turned back to the table. "What happened? Why did Feli leave?" he asked.
"Well…" Francis started. "It seems like he broke Ludwig's heart and ran off crying….."
"He didn't go after Ludwig?" Antonio asked in surprise.
Francis sadly shook his head no. "No… He went off in a different direction."
"Why?"
"Gilbert told him to stay away from Ludwig and not go near him," Alfred said.
"I was almost worried about a fight too…" Francis pointed out.
"Why didn't you guys say anything? To Feli or to Gil?" Antonio demanded, frowning.
"I-I tried to! But no one heard me!" Matthew spoke up from his spot next to Alfred.
Everyone jumped in surprise.
"Matt! How long have you been there!?" Alfred yelped.
"I was here the whole time…." Matthew murmured sadly.
When Lovino finally found his brother, it was outside in front of the school. Feliciano was sitting at the bottom of the steps, his useless arm in his lap, his knees pulled up to his chin, and his other arm wrapped around them as he stared out towards the road, his face glistening with tears.
"Feliciano…. What did that masked bastard do?" Lovino asked as he sat down next to his twin.
Feliciano shuddered and let out a soft sob. "I-I can't tell you," he whispered.
Lovino frowned and growled as he said, "I know you wouldn't do that shit on your own. Something is going on and that masked bastard is the fucking cause of it so tell me. Or…." Then he glanced around before turning back to his twin. "Or I'll making it a fucking alpha order you tell me. Your fucking choice."
Feliciano shoved himself into his feet, spinning to face Lovino, his face contorting in anger. "You think I wouldn't tell you!? If I could, I would! I really can't! I can't! It'll be bad! I can't say anything! You think I want to keep this a secret?! Because no! I don't! I really fucking don't!" he screamed.
Lovino scowled. "Fine dammit," Then he jumped to his own feet and ran off.
Feliciano threw himself back onto the ground, his sobs renewed.
Once again, back inside the school Lovino stalked through the halls with his eyes shining gold as he looked all around for the bastard who caused the entire mess.
Said bastard appeared to be waiting for him, as Sadiq was leaning causally against Lovino's locker, a smirk on his lips.
Lovino growled lowly as he ran over and went to punch Sadiq right in the face. "THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!"
"No no no little wolf," Sadiq purred, shifting out of Lovino's way to let the Italian hit the line of lockers.
Lovino winced in pain then froze and slowly glared at Sadiq with a growl in his throat. "What did you just fucking call me….?" He spat as he rubbed his bruised knuckle.
"You heard me," Sadiq said sweetly. "Wolf. I know what you are, Lovino Vargas~."
Lovino's eyes widen as he finally realized why Feliciano was acting the way he was; Sadiq had gotten to him first. Growling as his nails and teeth started sharpening and lengthening, he spat, "Why you fucking…. How…..? Fucking answer me right now…."
"I don't like your tone, wolfie," Sadiq said, smirking at the Italian. "And I would be careful if I was you~. Don't want to change here in the hall do you~?"
"Y-You… What's the fucking point to all this shit! We did nothing to you!"
"But you might. I want insurance~. Just in case," the Turk said. "I like to have the upper-hand."
"Insurance against what?! You're the asshole who fucking started this shit!" Then Lovino realized something else. "The day our sports bottles went missing... That was you wasn't it! You fucking set us up!"
"You're only just now figuring this out?" Sadiq asked, sounding genuinely surprised. "Feliciano himself even saw me. Right when you pulled him from the classroom, I held up one of your precious bottles for him to see."
"Give me one fucking good reason why I shouldn't knock you out and drag you somewhere then fucking maul you to pieces….." Lovino growled.
"Because I have proof of what you and your brother are," Sadiq said, his smirk changing into a twisted smile.
"Oh yeah? Well fucking prove it, stronoz!"
From his pocket, Sadiq pulled out a stack of photos. They were of the Vargas twins during their transformations. The Turk held them out to the werewolf, smirking in triumph.
Lovino paled at the sight of them. "N-No one's going to fucking believe! T-They'll all think it's photo-shopped!"
Sadiq laughed. "Everyone knows I can barely use a computer, much less do something like this. And if they were, whoever made them would want to show off, claim how good his skill is. No, little wolf. People will believe me~."
Lovino stared trembling a little. "Y-You… I-I'm going to fucking kill you!"
"Oh no you won't," Sadiq said confidently. "In fact, you won't even tell another person about this. Or I'll expose you both."
Lovino growled lowly as he spat, "Fine! Have it your fucking way! Fuck you!" Then he stormed off.
"Hey!" Sadiq yelled after him. "By 'another person', I meant anything alive or dead! So no other supernatural beings you might happen to know~!"
Lovino stopped short and shot back a dark glare.
Sadiq grinned. "So you do know others. Probably at this very school. Interesting~."
Lovino growled as he stalked back over. "Don't. You. Do a single fucking thing to any of them!" Then he paused and said, "And take your fucking deal off Feliciano! Use me instead!"
"No," Sadiq said. "I rather enjoy knowing I get a free kiss from a cutie everyday for as long as I want~. And I enjoyed the look on that German's face. Priceless~."
"Y-You! Y-You're the real fucking monster here!" Lovino spat lowly. "Stop making him do that shit! He doesn't fucking deserve it!"
Unbeknown to the two, Ludwig had just so happen to be coming around the corner a little bit ago, and was still standing there listening to the entire conversation.
"I don't care what he deserves. That's what he has. And I'm no monster. Not like you and that twin of yours," Sadiq said haughtily.
At hearing that, Lovino let out a snarl and he grabbed Sadiq's shirt, his claws digging holes in the fabric as his eyes blazed gold and his teeth started lengthening, along with fur starting to grow along his arms as he started losing control.
Sadiq suddenly pulled a camera from his pocket, snapping a picture of the Italian. "Thank you," he said mockingly.
Lovino's eyes flashed in realization then he yanked himself back as he started trying to get control. "Y-You… You fucking-!"
"See you tomorrow, wolfie," Sadiq said. Then he turned, a took off down the hall for class.
"C-Cazzo!" Lovino screeched, then ran off before anyone could see him looking like that. However, as soon as he got a few hallways over, he crashed right into someone.
"Lovi! Where did you go?" Antonio said, glancing down and seeing the werewolf. He turned around and wrapped his arms around his lover in concern.
Lovino yanked himself away and started down the hallway, while also trying to keep his teeth and nails hidden from sight. "I stayed in the fucking school! What the hell does it matter!"
"Lovi...? What's wrong?" the vampire asked in concern, following him.
"Nothing! Leave me the fuck alone!" Lovino snapped back without turning around as he quickened his pace, still trying to hide how he looked at the moment from the Spanish vampire.
"Lovino," Antonio said, his tone serious. "I know something is wrong. I can see your nails and your teeth. Your eyes are glowing. What happened."
Lovino clenched his fists, and accidentally cut himself as he said, "I-I can't fucking tell you….."
"Lovi, Lovi..." Antonio said gently, coming up behind the werewolf and taking his hands, gently tugging on his fingers until his hands relaxed. "It's okay. If you can't tell me, it's okay. I trust you, mi amor."
"L-Let me go, dammit….." Lovino stuttered as his eyes, teeth, and nails went back to normal. "Y-You don't fucking get it… I-I want to tell you but I can't!"
"It's okay, Lovi. I believe you," Antonio said, not releasing his hold. "I can tell you want to tell me something. There has to be a reason you won't."
"…. I-I need to go find Feliciano…."
"I can go with you," he offered.
Lovino quickly shook his head then pulled away from Antonio and ran off down the hallway.
At the same time, Ludwig had left his hiding spot and was currently in search of the younger werewolf.
Feliciano had finally dragged himself back into the school and was wandering the hallways, not feeling up to going to his afternoon classes.
Finally noticing him, Ludwig made his way over then gently grasped Feliciano's shoulder. "Feliciano….? Can I talk to you…? Outside…? Alone…?"
The Italian's eyes widened and they filled with tears. He flinched back from the German. "Luddy..."
"Feliciano… Please come with me. I…" Ludwig said then he leaned next to the Italian's ear and whispered. "I know why you're acting like this. I heard what Sadiq did."
Feliciano's eyes somehow became wider. "L-Ludwig..." he murmured, his good arm suddenly wrapping around the German boy as he trembled.
Ludwig petted Feliciano's hair then pulled back. "I'm going to go find the others. We should have a little 'talk' with Sadiq."
"NO!" Feliciano shrieked, grabbing the vampire's shirt front tightly. Yanking him down his his eye level, Feliciano growled. "Don't you dare tell anyone," he said, his eyes glowing bright gold.
Ludwig frowned and gently moved Feliciano's hands away. "We can't let this go on. It's just going to keep getting worse and worse as time passes."
"You. Don't. Tell. ANYONE," the werewolf repeated lowly. "Sadiq can't find out that you know."
"Feliciano, I wasn't asking your opinion," Ludwig sternly said. "I'll make sure to take precautions but we will do something about it."
Feliciano growled, baring his sharpening teeth at the vampire in irritation.
Ludwig's frown deepened. "I know in your pack you are second in command to Lovino. However, seeing as how I'm a vampire instead, I don't have to follow either one of you so don't bother with doing that."
Feliciano's eyes flashed. "Ludwig..." he spat warningly. "Do not pull this shit with me. Not right now."
"Feliciano….."
"S-Shit! Feliciano! There you are!" Lovino exclaimed as he came running up behind his twin and grabbed his shoulder.
Taken by surprise, Feliciano whipped around and shoved Lovino back then froze when he saw who it was. "F-Fratello! I'm sorry!" he cried, rushing up to him. "I didn't mean to! I didn't know it was you!" He is eyes dimmed until they returned to their original color and his teeth sank back.
"What the fuck was that for! You heard and smelled me coming, dammit!" Lovino snapped and glared as he righted himself and rubbed the spot where Feliciano shoved him.
Taking advantage of Feliciano's distraction, Ludwig slipped away to go find the others.
"N-No, I didn't. I'm sorry, Lovi," Feliciano whimpered.
"Whatever…." Lovino spat. "What the hell pissed you off anyway?"
Feliciano's gaze sank to the ground. "Nothing..."
Lovino's frown deepened. "So… It's that shit, huh….?"
"... I don't know what you're talking about..." Feliciano murmured.
"The hell you don't," Lovino snapped then he bit his lip. "… Asshole threatened me too…."
The younger twin's head snapped up. "Che cosa?"
"Y-You heard me, dammit…." Lovino stuttered as he glanced away.
"Fratello..." Feliciano said sadly. He stepped forward and hugged his twin tightly.
"F-Fucking asshole….." Lovino stuttered as he hugged Feliciano back. "W-What the hell did we even do….?"
"I-I don't know..." Feliciano whimpered, trembling slightly.
"D-Dammit…."
"I'm scared, fratello..."
"M-Me too…"
"Gilbert…. I need to talk to you," Ludwig said when he found the older vampire and walked up to him. "It's about Feliciano and Lovino."
The albino's eyes narrowed. "What has he done this time?" he demanded.
Ludwig glared as he said, "It's not his fault." Glancing around to make sure he wouldn't be noticed or over heard, he whispered, "He is being blackmailed. Both him and Lovino."
"What? By who?" Gilbert asked, lower his voice as well.
"Sadiq," Ludwig answered. "He has pictures of them changing. I overheard him when he was talking to Lovino."
"Scheiße."
"We should go find everyone else. Figure out a plan about what to do."
Gilbert nodded. "I'll go find Fran, Toni, and Matt. You find Al, Arthur, and Kiku."
Ludwig also nodded, "Ja. Let's go." Then he walked off.
The German brothers regrouped shortly after, their friends in tow. "Alright, Ludwig. Explain to them what you heard," Gilbert said.
Ludwig took a deep breath, then began. "I went to look for Feliciano in the hallways. But instead I ended up finding Lovino yelling at Sadiq….. Apparently Sadiq is blackmailing them. He has pictures of them on the full moon transforming and that is why Feliciano was acting the way he was. He's being forced to do it."
"What?!" Alfred cried. "That bastard! He's like a super villain!"
"Hmph. Well, I doubt he's going to stop with just them," Arthur spoke up (and rolling his eyes at his boyfriend's comment). "There's no need to say that he'll probably move onto the rest of us too, if he can. We'll need to stop this right now before it gets any worse."
"Does Feliciano-kun or Lovino-kun know that you know about this now Ludwig-san?" Kiku questioned as he looked over at the German.
"Did you tell them, Ludwig?" Gilbert asked.
"…. I told Feliciano….." Ludwig said and rubbed his forehead. "But he forbid me from telling any of you. He even got mad enough about it that he was close to transforming."
"Damn. So, what do we do?" Gilbert asked. "Sadiq can't find out we know."
"Wow… So this really is hard….." Francis sighed. "Those poor, poor cuties…."
"….. What if we make it so he isn't creditable….? Like no one will believe him….?" Arthur asked as he thought out loud.
"What are you talking about, Eyebrows?" Gilbert asked. "We've known that ass since we got here. If he has pictures, no one will think they're fake. He sucks to much at technology."
Arthur twitched at the 'eyebrows' comment but then switched to a smirk. "Oh… With what I'm planning for that wanker, no one will take him serious again…."
The group exchanged looks and nodded. "Do whatever you can," Gilbert said.
"Kick his ass, baby~!" Alfred cheered, hugging his boyfriend around the waist.
"Good," Arthur said with a nod as he tried to inch away from Alfred. "However, it won't be ready until tomorrow. It will take time to mix all of the spells I need together."
Before he could continue, a voice spoke. "What the hell are you bastards doing….?" Lovino asked as he came up from behind the group, Feliciano trailing after him.
The American didn't let his Brit go. He rested his chin on the blonde's head and smiled brightly at the twins. "We're all trying to think of something to do this weekend. Do you guys have any ideas?"
"Oh oh! We can go to the park and have a picnic!" Feliciano squealed in excitement, all anger, irritation, and sadness from earlier gone without a trace.
"Why the hell would we do that….?" Lovino grumbled and crossed his arms. "Bad enough we have to see you bastards now…." Then he paused. "Hey… Wait…. Feliciano…? Isn't school almost over?"
The younger twin nodded. "Si. Perché?"
Lovino grinned at that. "Come on, dammit! We need to meet up with nonno!"
Feliciano looked confused for a second, then realization hit him and a huge grin spread across his face. He squealed excitedly. "Si, si!" he chirped. "And Luddy and Toni can come to, he said! Let's go, Luddy!" Grabbing the German boy's hand, Feliciano ran off towards the front of the school.
