Hello guys~! Once again, stayed up late to edit this to perfection, or as close as I can, for you guys once again~! Which means I also got up early for you. Again.

...

That means I like you.

Anyway! I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season! Happy Birthday to Russia, and Happy New Year everyone~!

Have a good Monday :)

As soon as Ludwig stopped the car in the Vargas' driveway, Antonio lept out, snatched all of his bags, and started towards the house. Noticing Lovino's car parked haphazardly in the driveway, he changed from a walk to a dead sprint and ran inside to find his feisty lover. "Lovi!" he called. "Lovi! Querido, where are you? I wanted to say I'm sorry! Please forgive meeeeee!"

Meanwhile, out in the car, Feliciano had simply shifted around a little and not woken up.

Ludwig sighed to himself as he picked up Feliciano and his own bag, then shut and locked the door and headed back inside.

Meanwhile, Lovino was up in his room petting Gio. "There's nothing wrong with my damn driving…. Damn bastards saying shit…."

The kitten mewed and nuzzled his hand comfortingly.

"Do you think it sucks, you damn cat?"

Gio looked up at Lovino, seeming to raise an eyebrow and ask 'How the fuck should I know?'

Lovino groaned and flopped back onto the bed. "Si…. You're right, dammit…. Ugh… I have no idea what to do now…."

Gio stood and crawled onto Lovino's chest and curled up.

Suddenly, the two heard shouting. "Loooooooovvvvvvvviiiiiiii~~~! Where are you, queridooooooooooo!" Antonio's voice drifted to them. "I'm sorry for what I saaaaaaaid! Please forgive meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Lovino groaned again and slapped his forehead. "You want to learn how to become an attack cat in a few seconds?" he asked as he looked down at the kitten.

Gio mewed in confusion and sat up, tilting his head to the side.

"If the bastard comes in here, scratch his damn face off."

Gio only had time to blink once as the door to Lovino's room burst open. "Lovi! Please!" Antonio cried from the doorway. Deciding that he might as well do what Lovino said, Gio jump off the bed, yowling and hissing, his sharp claws scratching up the vampire, causing him to cried out in pain and try to pull Gio off.

Elsewhere in the house, Feliciano stirred slightly from all the noise. "Loud..." he mumbled. He lifted his right hand to his ear, his left laying still in his lap for a moment, before beginning to twitch and move. Slowly, it lifted up and covered his other ear.

After a few more second of watching Gio, Lovino calmly walked over and picked up the kitten, then he walked past Antonio like he wasn't even there.

The moment Lovino touched him, Gio let his claws retract and he settled down into Lovino's arms, purring softly.

Antonio whimpered and followed after the werewolf. "Lovi, I'm sorry. I was so mean. I shouldn't have said that stuff to you."

Lovino continued walking on as if he didn't hear the vampire at all. "Hey, Gio? Are you hungry? It's near feeding time for you and your fratello. Actually… Where the hell is he…?"

Gio mewed and gestured with his head towards Feliciano's bedroom door. Gino was curled up just outside, asleep.

Lovino sighed and knelt down to pick up the other kitten. "Oh…. Aw well, dammit. At least I have both of you right now. Let's go get some damn food."

Gino opened his eyes sleepily and mewed. Gio leaned close to him and gently licked his brother's head. The younger kitten laid his head back down, falling asleep once more.

Lovino glared back in the direction of his own room then turned and made his way down to the kitchen.

"Lovi..." Antonio said, continuing to follow the werewolf. "What can I do to make it up to you? I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said those mean things to you. I was just so scared. I wasn't ready for that experience and I flipped out. Please forgive me. What can I do to get you to?"

Lovino pointedly ignored him as he set the kittens down on the table then went over to the counter and started making their food.

"Querido, please. I can't try to fix what I messed up if you don't let me," Antonio pleaded.

"So what do you damn cats want, huh? Tuna or something?" Lovino asked as he looked over at Gio.

Gio glanced over to Gino who was rolling around and mewing excitedly before looking back at Lovino and nodding.

"Fine. Tuna it is then," Lovino muttered then started heading over to the pantry and looking for the cans.

"Lovino," Antonio whined. "Please! At least look at me!"

"And let me guess, you damn cats want it with pasta too, right?" Lovino asked, still ignoring Antonio and refusing to even look at him, "Dammit. I blame Feliciano for that."

Not able to stand it any longer, Antonio wrapped his arms around Lovino from behind and hugged him close. "Lovi..." he whispered. "Please..."

Lovino froze then slowly growled, "Get off me. Right. Now."

"No," Antonio said firmly. "Lovino, I know I hurt you. I'm trying to make it better. I'm trying to apologize."

"Oh really? Sure you're not just saying that so you don't have to fucking ride with me?" Lovino snapped back and tried to pull away.

The vampire kept his arms locked around the Italian. "If you want me to, querido, I will ride with you anywhere. As fast as you wanna drive, I'll be a man. I won't scream or cry anymore. I'll stay calm."

"….. Yeah, right…."

"I will. You want to go somewhere right now? I can show you," Antonio offered.

Lovino glanced at the vampire's face then looked away. "I have to feed the damn cats first. Or do you want them to starve?"

"After you feed the cats then. I got Fran to feed Eltio for me already."

"Still don't know why you picked that damn rock as a pet," Lovino muttered. "Hell, even me on the full moon without taking that damn potion is better!"

"You haven't spent any time with him. He's adorable! Really!" Antonio said.

"Rocks aren't adorable, you bastard!" Lovino shot back as he set the food down in front of Gio and Gino. "And like hell I'll ever spend time with him!"

"Aww... But will you spend time with me?"

Lovino blushed and quickly looked away. "S-Si, dammit…. I-I guess…."

Antonio smiled brightly. "Yay~!"

"W-Well… What the hell are we supposed to do…..?"

"Anything you want to, querido~!"

"Why are you having me pick, bastard?"

"Because this date is all about you, mi tomate~!"

"W-Who said this was a damn date?!" Lovino sputtered as his blush deepened in color.

Antonio blinked. "Well, what else would it be called?" he asked.

"I-I don't know, dammit! J-Just something other than a d-dat-!" He couldn't even say it out loud.

Antonio smiled and cuddled his adorable boyfriend. He was just so precious~! "D-Dat-Date?" he asked.

"D-Don't laugh at me, dammit!" Lovino stuttered as he tried to pry himself free. "A-And don't call it that either! B-Because that's not what it is!"

"I'm not laughing at you, querido," Antonio promised. "And I really think it is~. We are planning on going somewhere together, alone, with just us. And since we are dating, it has to be a date~!"

"W-Why does it have to be a date?!"

"Because," Antonio murmured into the Italian's ear, his voice slightly deeper than normal and with a hint of danger at the edge. "You're mine and I don't want anyone to get any ideas~. Lovi is mine, and I'm not sharing~."

Lovino shivered at the words but snuck a glance at the vampire. "W-What…..?"

"You heard me, chico~," Antonio said, his eyes glinting softly as he smirked, hugging the Italian closer, possessively. "You are mine, and no one else is allowed to have you~."

Lovino's eyes flashed gold as he became more nervous from how Antonio was acting. "D-Did you have enough blood, bastard…..? M-Maybe you should go get more….." He said and started to try to pull away.

Antonio laughed then pressed a quick kiss to the werewolf's cheek. "I'm perfectly fine, Lovi~! Do you want to go now or wait till later?" he asked, smiling brightly, all signs of his earlier... strangeness having vanished completely.

Lovino stared at the vampire for a few second then glanced away. "G-Guess we can go now…" he muttered, while in the back of his mind he was asking himself just what was that before with Antonio….. "Where the hell are we supposed to go….?"

"Dunno~! Is their any place you want to go in particular?" Antonio asked.

Before Lovino could answer, there was shriek from Feliciano's room, followed by the sound of a door slamming and running feet. A few seconds later, an excited Feliciano appeared in the doorway. "Lovi! Lovi! Look look!" he squealed.

Lovino frowned confused and stared at his twin. "Look at WHAT….?"

"My arm, my arm!" Once the two where looking, Feliciano's face morphed into one of concentration, after a few seconds, the fingers on his hand twitched slightly and his arm lifted to shoulder height. "See, see! It can move again!"

"I-It DOES!" Lovino gasped and stared open-mouthed. "H-How?!"

"I'm healing! Just like Luddy said I would! Fratellone isn't this great!?" The younger werewolf sprung on his twin, wrapping his good arm around him tightly as his left slowly managed to follow suit, though much weaker.

Lovino couldn't stop the laugh that left his lips as he hugged Feliciano back (for this time at least). "Si! I-It's great! Really really fucking great!"

"Yay~!" Feliciano cheered, extremely happy to be gaining back the use of his arm, and the willing hug he received from his twin.

After a few more seconds, Lovino pulled away and said, "But you better make sure to keep working with it, dammit!"

"I will~! I promise~!" Feliciano agreed enthusiastically. Then he flopped down onto the floor next to the kittens and squealed some more. "Look, Gino~! Mama can move his arm again~!" Gino mewed and licked the Italian's face, gaining another squeal.

"Ugh…. Not this shit again…." Lovino grumbled. "You're not his damn mama! He's a CAT! Even Antonio know his pet rock isn't human!"

"Elito isn't a rock!"

Feliciano stuck his tongue out at Lovino childishly. "I can be whatever I want to be," he declared.

"You're MALE, dammit! You can't be a mama!"

"Watch me!"

"Why you little-!"

With a laugh, Feliciano jumped out and bounced out of the kitchen, off to search for his German vampire.

"Hey! Get your ass back here, dammit!" Lovino yelled after his twin.

Antonio laughed. "Aw, he's alright," he said cheerfully. "Besides, we have a date to go on~!"

"I-It's NOT a damn d-dat-!" Lovino rapidly sputtered.

"A date~! It's a date~!" the Spaniard chirped, taking the Italian's hand and leading him out of the kitchen towards the front door. "You'll have a ton of fun and love it~!"

"H-Hey! Slow down, dammit! I need to grab my keys!" Lovino exclaimed and started to try to pull his arm away.

"Oh yeah!" Antonio said, having completely forgotten about the necessity of a key to start a car.

"Dumbass," Lovino muttered as he snatched up the keys and headed out the door.

"So where are we going, Lovi?" Antonio asked as the two spend down the road. The vampire was doing much better than his first time driving with Lovino and was managing not to grab hold of something and cling to it or cry. He was a little green, but there was nothing he could do about that.

"H-How the hell should I know that?!" Lovino demanded as he kept his eyes on the road so he wouldn't have to look over and have Antonio see the blush on his face. "I-I don't know what people do on shit like this!"

"Well, usually, they go see a movie, or go out to dinner, or go do some kind of fun activity~! Is there a movie you wanna see or a place you want to eat at? Or something you want to do?" Antonio asked. "I'm paying~!"

Lovino jumped and jerked the wheel, causing the two to lurch into the other lane until Lovino pulled the car back. "W-Who the hell said for you to do that?! I-I'm not a damn girl or something! D-Do I look like a damn girl?!"

Antonio smiled and choose not to answer. Instead, he said, "Fine, then. I call paying~!"

Back at the Vargas' house, Feliciano was skipping through the halls, calling for Ludwig. "Luddy~! I wanna show you something~!" he chirped. "Come out come out wherever you are~! It's really important~!"

However, the German didn't answer back.

Feliciano opened his mouth to call again, only to have loud banging sounds erupt form the garage, scaring the Italian half to death. He screamed. "AAAAAAHHHHH! LUDDY! WHERE ARE YOU! THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE GARAGE!"

Once again Ludwig didn't answer back.

'Oh no! The monster must have gotten Luddy!' the werewolf realized, a soft whimper escaping him before determination sparked in his eyes and he straighted. 'I'll save him!' He moved slowly towards the door leading into the garage, flinching back slightly when the banging started again but forcing himself to continue forward. 'For Luddy!'

Meanwhile, the 'monster' was currently on the other side of the garage pounding his hammer against a piece of heated metal to get it bent into the shape he wanted.

Feliciano burst into the garage, shrieking at the top of his lungs. "LUDWIG!"

There was a loud clang as Ludwig dropped everything and came rushing over to the Italian. "Feliciano! What's wrong?!"

"Yay~! The monster didn't eat Luddy~!" Feliciano cheered.

Ludwig paused then stared. "….. What monster….?"

"I was out in the hall calling for Luddy cuz I need to show him something really good and I heard a monster moving around in the garage making a lot of noise and I got scared that it had eaten Luddy but it didn't so yay~!" Feliciano explained happily.

"Er…. Feliciano….? I was in the garage the entire time….. There's no monster here….."

"Really? That's even better~! Luddy defeated the monster~!" the werewolf squealed, wrapping his good arm around one of the vampire's.

Ludwig sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Feliciano…. There never WAS a monster in here….."

"Sure there was, but I don't wanna talk about monsters! I wanna show Luddy something good!" Feliciano said, letting him go.

Ludwig went to retort but paused for a second. "What do you want to show me….?"

"Look look! I'm healing! Just like you said I would!" Feliciano squealed, jumping back so the German boy could see. Concentrating hard, as he had done when showing Lovino and Antonio, Feliciano managed to make his fingers twitch and his arm to rise.

"That's… That's very good." Ludwig said, and give the Italian a small smile. "You make sure to keep working with it, ja? You need to build up your strength again."

"I will, I will~!" Feliciano agreed happily, smiling brightly at the other.

Then Ludwig rubbed the back of his head as he said, "Er… Well…. I should get back to work…. Your grandfather asked me to make something for his presentation…."

"Veh? Make what, Luddy?" the Italian asked curiously.

"Just a small statue for his display. Nothing major."

"What's it going be? Where is it going to go? Are you getting paid to make it? Why did Nonno ask you to make it? Are you having fun? Is it difficult?" Feliciano asked, not pausing to wait for an answer between each question.

Ludwig sighed to himself and just the Italian ramble as he started walking back to where he was working.

Feliciano followed him, continuing to spout off questions without bothering with the answers.

Ludwig ignored him the best he could as he used the tongs to pick up the piece of metal again and started to heat it up.

"Hey, Ludwig..." Feliciano said suddenly, cutting off his own rambling. His voice had turned serious and he was watching the vampire intensely.

Ludwig paused at the serious tone and slowly turned and looked at the werewolf. "….? Ja….? What is it…?"

"This is a real question. I want your honest opinion," he said, looking straight into Ludwig's eyes. "Do you think I would make a good parent?"

Ludwig blinked in surprise. "Ja…"

"Do you really? Or are you just saying that?" Feliciano asked.

Ludwig nodded. "Ja. I'm sure."

"What kind of parent do you think I'd be?"

"The best."

Feliciano smiled. "Aww~. Grazie, Luddy." He fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "I know it's not possible to be a real one but... I really do think I want to be a mama at some point..."

Ludwig blinked a few times right in a row. "Er….. What do you mean….?"

The werewolf glanced away, blushing lightly, his cheeks tinted pink. "I... I wanna be a parent someday... I want to have a bambino..."

Ludwig's face instantly turned red as he stuttered, "W-What….?"

"N-Nothing. It was silly. F-Forget I said anything about it. I'm going to p-play with Gino and Gio," Feliciano quickly mumbled. He turned and rushed off into the house, blushing brightly.

"W-Wait! Feliciano!" Ludwig called out and followed after the Italian.

Feliciano stopped in the hall, unable to bring himself to look at the German. His face was a very nice red, tomato colored as Antonio would say. He played with the fingers on his left hand nervously, worried about what Ludwig would say.

"Feliciano….? What's wrong….?"

"Nothing..."

"SOMETHING is wrong."

Feliciano flinched a the tone. "N-No... It's nothing... I shouldn't have said anything..."

"Feliciano... Please…. I can tell something is bothering you…"

"I-I... I'm sorry I said anything... I know I'm only sixteen... But..." the Italian trailed off, not sure how to continue.

Ludwig sighed and said, "Feliciano…. Just say it."

"L-Like I said... In the garage... It's... weird to be talking to you about this. Veh, I'm sorry, Luddy. Never mind. Don't worry about it. I don't know why I brought it up," the werewolf mumbled, starring red-faced at the floor.

"Are… Are you feeling sick…? Is that's what's wrong….?"

"U-Uh... Si! That's it! I'm ill... I don't feel good. I'm going to l-lay down... Ciao." Without waiting for a response, Feliciano turned and darted up the stairs, disappearing into his bedroom.

"Just what was that…..?" Ludwig cluelessly asked himself out loud.

"Dammit…. Why is it the only seemingly good movie here is a damn vampire one….?" Lovino muttered under his breath as he pulled into one of the theater's parking spots.

Antonio laughed. "Because we vampires seem to be the 'in' thing now," he said, smiling brightly. "I heard what Gilbert named fans of these vampires once. It was really funny. You wanna know? I promise it's nothing perverted or anything."

"So what? Me and Feliciano are supposed to run around shirtless all the damn time because of that shit too?" Lovino grumbled then sighed. "Fine, dammit…. Just tell me the damn name Albino bastard's fucked up mind came up with."

Antonio laughed. "I wouldn't mind if you ran around shirtless Lovi," he cooed.

Lovino froze then started sputtering. "Y-You! I-I! D-Dammit, you bastard! Y-You know what I fucking mean! L-Like HELL I-I'll ever do shit like that!"

The vampire leaned over and stole a quick kiss before jumping out of the car. "Te amo, querido~!"

"H-Hey! Get your ass back here, dammit!" Lovino yelled after Antonio and quickly locked the car before chasing after him.

When the two neared the theater, Antonio slowed and smiled at the werewolf. "Anyway, you want to know the name?" he asked, gesturing slightly to a line of chubby fan-girls and boys seemingly camped out in line. If the Spaniard wasn't mistaken, he had just heard one of the girls order a pizza...

Lovino blinked, then shrugged and nodded. "Why not, dammit. Just tell me."

The vampire leaned down and whispered into the werewolf's ear. "Dracula Biscuits."

Lovino paused then burst out laughing so loudly that he drew the attention of everyone near the two.

Antonio smiled brightly, quite pleased he had gotten a laugh from his lover, especially one like this. "It was quite funny and unexpected when he first said it," he commented, chuckling lightly at the memory.

"But…." Lovino said as he started to calm down and glanced at the crowd. Leaning closer to Antonio, he whispered into the vampire's ear. "Keep your damn fangs hidden….. Even if this crowd is too damn stupid to tell the difference, they still might maul you….."

"Aww~! Lovi's worried about me~!" Antonio squealed, wrapping his arms around the Italian and cuddling him. "I'd be fine though," he added quietly. "A year ago, Gil dared me to tell a group of Dracula Biscuits I was a vampire and flash my fangs, so I did. You know what they did? They laughed and said, 'You don't sparkle and those fangs are obviously fakes, even though they look really well made. You aren't a real vampire.' It was pretty funny."

Lovino laughed and facepalmed. "Seriously?! How fucking stupid can you GET?!" Then he glanced over at a group of girls and smirked. "Hey…. What do you think would happen if I went over and told them I was a werewolf….?"

"Ask you to take your shirt off to show off your muscles to them, then to, what was it called? 'Imprint?' Yeah. Then they would ask you to imprint on one of them and be their soul mate for the rest of your life," Antonio chuckled.

"The HELL I'm doing that then…. I'm not taking my damn shirt off…." Lovino muttered. Then he frowned in confusion. "And what the hell is 'imprint' supposed to mean? I'm supposed to find a damn stamp or something and stick it on their forehead?"

Antonio doubled over, laughing hard and clutching his stomach. They received more strange looks before the vampire was able to pull himself back together. "N-No!" he gasped between his chuckles. "It's w-when you devote yourself t-to another person. Like, they're your s-soul mate or something. It's weird and I don't really get it. It's a l-love thing though."

Lovino rolled his eyes and shrugged, although he was slightly embarrassed from Antonio's laugh. "Whatever, bastard. It's still fucked up anyway." Then he glanced over at the group of girls again. "Hey….. That thing Albino bastard made you do…. Want to do it now….?"

"Do you want me to?" Antonio asked.

Lovino thought about it for a second and grinned. "Si…. Let's see how it goes…."

"Okay~!" With a bright, confident smile, Antonio went up the the group of rather plump teen girls with a few guys. "Hola, everyone~!" he greeted warmly.

"Hi! What can we do for you?" one of the girls asked.

"Oh, I wanted to ask if you'd ever seen a vampire before," the Spaniard said innocently.

"In my dreams but not my reality," another girl said, a sad, wistful look in her eyes before she questioned, "Why?"

"Because~." Antonio flashed his fangs at the group. "I am a vampire~."

Meanwhile, Lovino hung back and watched the whole scene, keeping his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing but even then a few sniggered still managed to make it past his lips.

One of the boys, who had nearly jumped out of his skin in fear from the Spaniard in front of him laughed, seeing Lovino trying to contain his laughter and figuring it was a dare. He smiled and patted Antonio's shoulder. "Nice try man. Your friend gave you away. Nice fangs though." The rest of the group let out their breath, all having felt a bolt of terror. They all began to laugh and a few of the girls commented on his non-sparklingness. After a few more minutes, Antonio said goodbye and walked back to his boyfriend.

"See?" he said, chuckling. "I told you they wouldn't believe me."

"W-Well… Y-You were right…" Lovino panted as he tried to stop laughing. "H-How fucking STUPIDO can you get?!"

"Si. It's kind of sad. Those poor Dracula Biscuits..." Antonio said, making his voice sound sad and regretful.

"D-Damn… Now I want to try it too!" Lovino said without paying attention to what he was saying.

"You should! It would be funny~!" Antonio laughed.

"W-What?! H-Hell no!" Lovino sputtered. "Y-You said they'll try to rip my damn shirt off!"

"Alright. Maybe another time when the less rabid fans are around, si?" the vampire suggested.

"….. So... Never then, bastard?"

"We'll find a time! Don't worry, querido!" Antonio reassured him. "Now, do you want to see the movie about the sparkly vampires or something else?"

"Something else," Lovino grumbled. "If I want to see something with 'sparkly' vampires I'll just find a thing of glitter and dump it over your damn head."

Antonio laughed. "Okay. So, what do you want to see?"

Lovino shrugged and said, "You pick bastard."

Glancing around at the different movie posters, Antonio pointed to one. "Can we see that?" he asked.

"…. A horror one… Seriously….?"

"Sure~! It'll be fun~!" Antonio chirped.

"Whatever…." Lovino grumbled. "At least it'll be better than that sappy as hell vampire shit."

"Si~! I'll get the tickets~!" Antonio cheered, rushing into the theater and up to the ticket desk.

Lovino groaned as he rolled his eyes then followed after the vampire.

After getting the tickets and concessions, the pair was directed into their theater. It was a little while before the movie started, and so far, they were the only ones in there. When they had picked seats, the two sat down, munching a little on the popcorn.

"Did you have to put so much damn butter on it….?" Lovino muttered as he ate the small handful in his hand. "You better have grabbed plenty of napkins bastard."

"Sorry, Lovi~! I just really like butter~!" the vampire chirped, holding up a tall stack of napkins.

Lovino snatched one of the napkins away and started wiping off his hands. "You sound like burger bastard…" He muttered then asked. "And what's this damn movie supposed to be about anyway?"

"Zombies I think," Antonio said, popping a few more buttery kernels into his mouth.

"Great….." Lovino grumbled. "But you know what? THOSE had better not be real too, dammit."

"I don't think they are. At least, we've never seen them," Antonio assured him.

"Good. So when is the damn thing supposed to start?"

"Fifteen minutes."

"Damn… Now what…?"

Antonio shrugged. "Dunno~!"

"Dumbass…." Lovino retorted then he looked around. "Why the hell are we the only ones in here….?"

"It's been out for while. Most people have seen it by now," the Spaniard said, taking a sip of his pop.

However, Lovino didn't look at him as his sharp eyes scanned the entire room. "We're…. the only ones who know we came here right….?"

Antonio blinked, looking a little confused. "Si. Why? Is something wrong?"

"I don't trust your bastard friends…." Lovino answered as he continued looking around.

"Don't worry, querido," the Spanish vampire said. "No one is going to jump out at us in the theater."

"Oh yeah….? Prove it bastard…."

"Fusososo~. Well, we're sitting with the wall against our backs, we can see the door from here and anyone who comes in, and we're alone. You have nothing to worry about~!" Antonio said, smiling brightly.

"….. Still don't trust your bastard friends….."

A few minutes later, the lights went off and the movie began.

Lovino slunk back in his seat and watched, occasionally glancing over at Antonio.

The vampire seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, going as far as to laugh when one of the women was caught and ripped to pieces, her blood coating everything while her organs were devoured with many disgusting squishing noises.

Lovino on the other hand, looked as if he didn't know whether to puke his guts out or run out of the theater screaming for his nonno. So at the moment he settled for a death grip on the vampire's hand.

Antonio squeezed the Italian's hand comfortingly, hoping for something even scarier to happen so that Lovino would let him hold him in his lap. As though to answer him, the movie suddenly did a close up of one of the zombie's faces. This zombie seemed to have died in a fire as it's skin looked melted in some spots along with the black flesh. It's face was blood streaked, bits of internal organs stuck in it's teeth. Then it suddenly threw itself at the camera.

Lovino let out a loud scream and instantly launched himself into Antonio's lap, clinging to the vampire and burrying his face into his shirt.

Instantly, Antonio wrapped his arms around the werewolf, a blinding smile on his face. "It's okay, querido," he cooed. "Nothing is going to hurt you. I'm here."

"T-This is YOUR damn fault, y-you bastard! Y-You picked the damn movie!"

"Lo siento, Lovi," the vampire said soothingly, cuddling the werewolf in his lap. "I promise nothing is going to hurt you thought. I'll keep you safe. Those nasty zombies won't come anywhere near you." He gently rubbed circles into Lovino's back. "You'll be perfectly safe."

"D-Don't treat me like a damn b-bambino b-bastard! I-I know those damn things aren't real!" Lovino stuttered/spat out but jumped and yelped when one of the zombies snarled loudly then bit into something.

Antonio continued to cuddle Lovino, cooing softly to him in Spanish.

Lovino stayed like that until the movie ended, then he ran all the way to the front of the theater and to his car.

The vampire followed him quickly, happening to spot what appeared to be an empty pizza box in the trash on his way to his boyfriend's car.

Lovino quickly unlocked his car and jumped in then relocked it as he waited for Antonio to come.

Antonio knocked on the window. "Lovi?" he asked. "You alright?"

Lovino nodded and ducked his head as he unlocked the door.

"Lovi...? What's wrong?" the Spaniard asked worriedly as he slid into the car. Had the movie scared his little tomate that badly? Antonio felt a pang of guilt.

"N-Nothing, dammit!" Lovino quickly stuttered, still keeping his face turned away and his hands hidden.

"Querido, I'm sorry if the movie scared you. Can I do anything to make you feel better? Would you like to go get dinner?" the Spanish vampire offered.

Lovino shook his head no. "N-No… M-Maybe I should just go home…" He stuttered, but made no move to look anywhere or even turn the car on.

"Lovi, do you want me to drive back?" Antonio asked gently.

"D-Do whatever you want bastard…."

"Alright then. Switch me seats, querido," Antonio said, opening his car door and starting to get out.

Lovino nodded as he got out and started to walk to the other side, still keeping his face and hands hidden.

Once the two had settled into their new seats, Antonio started the car and began to drive the Italian home. After a few moments of silence, he spoke. "Lovi, querido, what's wrong? Why are you hiding your face from me?"

"I-I'm not doing that…" Lovino stuttered, still keeping his face turned down and away.

"Then look at me without having your hand over your face," Antonio requested softly, glancing between Lovino and the road.

"M-My damn hands are not ON my face…!" Lovino stuttered as he turned away more and tried to bury his hands into his pockets while trying to keep Antonio from seeing his fingers.

The Spaniard suddenly pulled over and turned off the engine. He reached over and turned Lovino to face him. Before the Italian could shut his eyes or turn away, Antonio saw his irises glowing a soft gold.

Even though he knew it would do no good, Lovino squeezed his eyes shut and pushed at Antonio's chest with his fingernails looking slightly pointed.

"Lovi..." Antonio cooed gently. "What's the matter? What's scaring you so badly? Please tell me, querido."

"N-Nothing, dammit… I-I only got startled… B-But my damn body started reacting to it!"

"Do you need anything? To help calm you down?"

Lovino shook his head no. "Just time…."

"Do you want to wait here a little while or do you want me to take you home?"

"…. Home… Someone might see us here…."
