I am so sick of the snow T^T Please hurry and be warm again...

Happy Monday, everyone~!

I hope you all have a good Valentines Day on Friday. As for me, I shall, as usual, be celebrating alone XD

Yao returned after only a few moments, a tea pot, of all things, in his hands. He filled the pot with warm water and look over at Lovino who was starring at him. "Lovino, I'm going to be pouring this water into your ears slowly so that it can wash out the blood. It shouldn't hurt and the water should turn a shade of pink as it flows out. Tell me if it hurts though. That means that the damage is deeper than it should be and needs to be checked more thoroughly. Are you ready?" he asked after explaining when he was going to do.

Lovino nodded then settled down and waited. "If it does hurt, then I'm fucking biting you."

Slowly and carefully, Yao began to pour the warm water into Lovino's right ear.

Lovino flinched lightly at the feeling but managed to stay still as Yao cleaned his ear.

After a short while, pink water began to flow out of Lovino's ear and into the tub. "Can you hear me, Lovino?" the nature spirit asked, watching the water.

Lovino blinked a few times then nodded. "S-Si…. I-I can bastard…."

Yao smiled. "Excellent." Once the water had finally turned clear, Yao had Lovino turn onto his other side and began the process over again on the opposite ear. "How does it feel? Any pain? Does it feel sensitive?" he asked.

"N-No! I-I really CAN hear dammit! A-And it feels normal!"

"Wonderful." When the water again turned clear, the Chinese man handed the Italian a towel. "And there you go, Lovino, you are all better," he said. "Now, we just need to figure out how to get the film off of Feliciano's eyes."

Lovino worked to dry himself off as he glanced at Yao. "How the hell are we supposed to do that…?"

"Well, we need to find a way to get it off his eyes without damaging them. That film is just layers of dead cells that were fried and blinded him. Now that it's so thick, the cells underneath are healed, so he will be able to see again. The biggest problem we have is that it's wet. Wet and sticky. It's not going to want to come off. So we need to find a way to make it come off," Yao explained. "If you have any ideas, any at all, please, let me hear them."

"How the hell should I know that shit?! YOU'RE the damn health bastard!"

"Yes, but I've never had to do this for a... well, someone like you boys before. I don't know if you will react the same way," the shop keeper sighed. "If not for trying to get the film off, then can you think of ways to keep him relaxed during the removal? If he panics, it could end very badly and he could end up permanently blind."

Lovino frowned then thought about it. "…. Lavender…. I heard on tv with some vet shit that it can help calm animals down… We should be close enough to dogs for it to work on us…"

Yao nodded. "Very well. I will get some. Can you have Feliciano lay down? You can stay with him, if you want." With this, Yao went downstairs to go outside and grow lavender, stopping only for a moment to give an update to the two vampires still downstairs.

"Well you better be careful bastard," Lovino warned when Yao came back in. "It'll probably work on me too if I smell it."

"Then I would suggest you also be careful. Is Feliciano ready? Did you tell him what I have to do yet?" the nature spirit asked, making his way back up the steps and towards Lovino's bedroom. "You might want to get Feliciano's pillow from his own room."

"Ugh… Dammit... I forgot…" Lovino muttered then went to grab the pillow then tell Feliciano.

When everything was ready, Yao went into the room and found Feliciano's obediently laying on his back, his pillow in his arms. The younger Italian glanced towards the doorway, hearing someone entering, his grip on the pillow tightening slightly.

"Okay Feliciano, Lovino has explained what I need to do?" Yao asked gently, trying to help sooth the poor boy.

"S-Si," Feliciano squeaked, unsure about this plan.

"I'm going to rub this lavender on the pillow case, then put it into the pillow so that you can smell it." As he spoke, Yao preformed these actions, going slowly as to not make Feliciano uncomfortable with any sudden movements he might sense. Handing the pillow back, he turned to Lovino. "Are you going to stay or go?"

"Are you really asking such a fucking stupid question?" Lovino snapped. "I'm STAYING! Now tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do!"

"Just help him stay relaxed. Talk to him and get his mind off of what I'm doing," he explained, going to Feliciano's right side and kneeling down and leaning slightly over the werewolf.

Feliciano held the pillow tightly, taking deep, slow breaths, breathing in as much of the lavender scent as he could, feeling himself beginning to relax a little at the comforting smell.

Lovino nodded as he sat down next to Feliciano. "So… what do you want to talk about, dumbass? Think we should have a damn race or something with our cars? Or are you scared I'll kick your ass?"

A small smile found it's way onto Feliciano's lips. "A-As if you could," he said softly. "Veh, a race d-does sound fun, though.

As the brother's talked, Yao got out a tool. It looked like a pair of tweezers, only they were not metal. Instead they appeared to be a type of plant. Yao had made these just to do this when he had gone out for the lavender. They served the same purpose as the usual tweezers, only they were softer and flexible, so that in case anything did happen, Feliciano's eyes would be safe from scratches or cuts from metal.

"Hey, remember those bastards' faces when we did those test drives? What the hell was their damn problem anyway?" Lovino laughed lightly as he remember Antonio holding on for dear life.

A full grin broke out on the younger's face. "W-We really scared them, d-didn't we?" he said, laughing a little.

Gently, Yao began to remove the film over Feliciano's right eye, the nasty goop sticking to the tweezers and everything else it touched.

Feliciano made a face, trying not to squirm. "T-That feels weird..."

"You know what else feels weird, dumbass?" Lovino asked in an attempt to distract his brother. "You when you used to get pasta and sauce all over yourself. Remember how big of a mess you left nonno when that happened?"

Feliciano's attention returned to his brother. "Oh yeah, I do remember that. He... wasn't happy." His smile returned and he took a deep, lavender scented, breath. "That was a lot of sauce and pasta... What a waste."

"Well it was your damn fault. Nonno should have made you clean it all up by yourself," Lovino teased.

"That would have taken forever," Feliciano said.

Yao finally finished getting rid of the film on Feliciano's right eye. He took out a bottle of eyes drops and put them into his eye to clean it out. Then he closed the eye and placed a square piece of cloth over it. "Lovino, switch me sides and hold this here while I work on the other side," he requested.

Lovino nodded and moved to the other side. "So? You would've deserved it, you little bastard."

"Aww... So mean, fratello," Feliciano said, giving him a little fake pout as Yao started working on his left eye.

"So? It's my damn job to act like that."

Feliciano smiled. "Yeah. I know."

"Good. Now you can obey my every fucking whim," Lovino teased.

"No way!" Feliciano objected with a laugh.

Lovino laughed too. "Nope. My damn word is law. Deal with it."

"Darn it..." Feliciano giggled in mock disappointment.

Yao was just finishing up, using the eyes drops and placing another square of cloth over Feliciano's left eye. "In about five minutes, you can take the right one off. You vision should be coming back. It might be a little blurry at first, but it will return completely," he said.

"So what the hell do I do?" Lovino asked, now turning his attention back to Yao.

"What do you mean, Lovino?" the Chinese man asked. "Is something wrong?"

Lovino rolled his eyes. "No… I just want to know if I'm supposed to fucking do anything while Feliciano's laying here waiting."

"It would probably be a good idea to clean out your ears of anything the water didn't get," Yao said.

"I meant what should I do with Feliciano…." Lovino muttered.

"Don't do anything with Feliciano. Leave him here. In five minutes, have him take off the right cover, and after five more minutes, have him take off the left," the nature spirit said. "And you really should wash out your ears, aru."

"Ugh… Fine…" Lovino grumbled then glanced at Feliciano. "I'm going to be in the damn bathroom. Okay, dumbass?"

"Si, va bene," Feliciano answered.

"If you boys need anything else, I'll be at my shop." This said, Yao turned and exited the room, went downstairs, ignored the questions being thrown at him from Antonio and Ludwig, and left the house for his shop.

Lovino grumbled to himself and rolled his eyes as he headed into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Feliciano carefully took the cover from his right eye and opened it. The feelings that flooded into his body were incredible. He wanted to jump up and down, scream, cry, run around, drop to the floor, and many other things. In the end, he settled for staying where he was, and letting a huge smile take over his face as he looked around at the slightly blurry room.

"How you doing in there, dumbass? Lovino called in from the bathroom.

"I can see..." Feliciano answered, his voice airy and bright.

Lovino blinked and smiled a little. "Good."

"I can see~. I can see~," Feliciano cooed, very pleased with this.

"Heh. I know dammit. But still be careful."

"I will be." Sitting up and holding the cover in place, he went to the bathroom door. "How are your ears?"

"Fine! I'm answering you, aren't I dammit?"

Once the five minutes were up, Feliciano took away the cover over his left eye. His smile somehow grew wider.

By this point, Lovino walked back in while drying off his head with a towel.

"I can see, fratello~!" Feliciano reported again, unable to get over that idea.

"I know, dammit," Lovino laughed. "You keep telling me."

"Veh~." Feliciano looked around the room, his eyes wide as he took in his surroundings, his wide smile still plastered to his face. "I'm in fratello's room~. I can tell because I can see~. I see his bed, and his dresser, and his closet door, and his bathroom door, and other things that belong to him," he murmured ecstatically to himself.

Lovino rolled his eyes but smiled as he watched.

Feliciano grabbed Lovino's hands. "Look~! I can grab your hands without having to feel around for them!" he squealed happily.

"I know, dammit," Lovino said with a small laugh. "But who said you could grab them, huh?"

The younger twin giggled and let go, twirling in circles joyfully.

Lovino rolled his eyes. "Don't you have your own damn room to dance like a dumbass in?"

Feliciano gasped, his eye shooting wide. "I do!" he exclaimed. "And I can dance in there without worrying I'll run into something!" He turned and ran from Lovino's room to his own, his happy laughter ringing throughout the house.

Lovino watched him leave and rolled his eyes then headed downstairs.

Antonio and Ludwig were in the living room, having been waiting for Yao to help the twins the whole time. As soon as Lovino appeared, Antonio jumped up from his seat and ran to him, hugging the Italian. "Lovi~! You can hear again~!"

"N-No shit! G-Get the hell off me, bastard!"

"I'm so happy~!" Antonio squealed, picking his lover up and spinning him around.

"Y-You bastard!" Lovino yelped and tried to get free.

Meanwhile, as he watched, Ludwig carefully inched out of the room and headed up the stairs.

Feliciano was standing in the center of his bedroom, turning in a slow circle, listing off things he could now see in a low tone. "Bed, wall, picture, dresser, shirt, wall, lamp, closet door, Luddy, wall, de- Luddy!" Seeing his boyfriend, Feliciano smiled brightly and skipped to him, throwing his arms around the other boy's neck and pulling him down into a passionate kiss.

Ludwig pulled Feliciano close and kissed back.

After a few moments, Feliciano pulled back a little, giggling. "I can see~!" he chirped, his big honey amber eyes shinning brightly up at the vampire.

"Good," The German vampire replied with a small smile.

The werewolf hugged him tightly, beyond thrilled with his restored sight.

"Er… So… Anything you want to do…?"

"I wanna stare at Luddy, watch a movie with Luddy, stare at Luddy more, cook something with Luddy, then stare at Luddy~!"

"….? Er… Was…?"

Feliciano giggled, stood up on his tip-toes, and lightly kissed his boyfriend. "Ti amo," he cooed softly.

"I-Ich liebe dich…"

"Veh~."

"S-So…. You mentioned a movie and cooking…?"

"Si~! Luddy, let's make dinner and watch a movie~!" Feliciano suggested.

"…. Which one first…?"

"We can eat while watching, so lets cook first." Taking his hand, Feliciano lead Ludwig downstairs, sneaking past Lovino who was still being given hugs and kisses by Antonio, and going into the kitchen. "What should we make?" he asked.

Ludwig thought about it then said, "Well… I'll leave it up to you. You ARE the cook between us after all."

With a happy squeal, Feliciano began to bustle about, preparing pasta, tomato sauce, and sausage, a combination of both boys' favorite foods. He set the meat on the cutting board to thaw, then got out a pot and filled it with water. When that was finished, he placed it on the stove and turned on the burner. Going to the pantry, he pulled out a few packages of pasta noodles, setting them on the counter for when he needed them. Finally, he got out some tomatoes and began to smash them up.

Back in the living room Lovino growled and struggled harder. "Let me go bastard! They're doing something in the kitchen!"

"They're probably just cooking, Lovi," Antonio soothed, cuddling Lovino to him.

"… or fucking each other right on top of the counter..." Lovino growled.

Antonio blinked, then laughed. "I don't think they would do that, Lovi."

"Sure about that, bastard?"

"Yes, I'm sure," the Spaniard said, smiling brightly.

"Well you're a dumbass so who gives a damn."

"You~."

"B-Bastard!"

The Spaniard laughed. "Te amo, mi querido," he said, lightly kissing the tip of the other's nose.

"... T-Ti amo…."

"Aww. Thank you, Lovi!" Antonio squealed, hugging the werewolf.

"S-Shut up!"

Back in the kitchen, Feliciano was finishing up the meal. He smiled brightly at Ludwig as he dished pasta onto the plates, added the sauce, then finally, little slices of sausage. "What do you think, Luddy?" he asked, holding out a plate for inspection.

"Well… It smells good….?"

"Yeah, but do you think it'll taste good?" Feliciano specified.

Ludwig nodded. "Ja."

"Yay~! Let's go pick a movie then~!" Balancing both plates on his right arm, Feliciano took Ludwig's hand and lead him towards the stairs, deciding to use the computer in his bedroom for the movie rather than trying to convince Lovino to leave the pair alone.

Lovino glared as he watched and started trying to get free again to follow after them.

Antonio held him fast, wanting to be able to spend his own time with Lovino.

"Get off!" Lovino snapped.

"Nah~."

"Why you!"

Getting upstairs, Feliciano brought Ludwig into his bedroom, shut the door, then had Ludwig sit on the bed and lean against the head board, setting a plate on the night stand, and the other on the German vampire's lap as he got his laptop and brought it over, crawling into the spot at Ludwig's side and settling in.

"Uh… What movie do you want to watch..?"

"You pick," Feliciano chirped, pulling up a folder from under his bed filled with a bunch of different dvds. "I don't care what we watch, it can be anything you like."

"Er… N-Nein… You can pick."

"No, Luddy, please! I want you to pick!"

"Er… Well… What's this one?" Ludwig asked as he touched a disc.

"I dunno~! Let's see~!" Feliciano took the disc from the folder, opened the CD tray, and popped the movie in. Shutting the tray, he leaned his head on Ludwig's shoulder as the couple waited for the movie to start.

"Why do you have a movie if you never seen it before..?" Ludwig asked confused.

Feliciano laughed., "I probably have seen it," he said. "But didn't you notice how none of the movies had labels? It's more fun this way~! I just pick a disc and put it in~! I don't have to think about choosing because I don't know what movie is where~! It's like a game~!"

"It's better to keep it labeled, Feliciano…." Ludwig sighed.

"But this is more fun," the Italian insisted.

"What if you needed to find something specific but you couldn't since it wasn't labeled?"

"Why would I need to find a specific movie?" Feliciano asked. "Movies are just for fun. It's like a surprise this way~. It's more fun than alphabetizing them all by letters or length." He giggled, knowing that was exactly how Ludwig ordered his own things.

Ludwig blinked then blushed as he glanced away.

The movie began just then and Feliciano squealed in delight. "Despicable Me~~~! I love this movie~~! Veh~! This was a great choice, Luddy!" he exclaimed. Bouncing off the bed, he turned off the lights then ran back, wrapping his arms around one of Ludwig's and snuggling close to his side as the opening credits started, the computer screen the only light in the entire room. His food was still on the night stand, completely forgotten in favor of cuddling, his eyes locked on the screen.

"Er… What's this movie about…?"

"Shh, Luddy. You'll see," Feliciano gently shushed.

Ludwig sighed and turned his attention back to the screen.

By the end of the movie, Feliciano had somehow managed to relocate himself onto Ludwig's lap, where he currently was, leaning against the vampire's chest, enjoying himself immensely. The now empty plates were stacked neatly on top of each other, Ludwig having reminded Feliciano to eat his food before it got to cold.

Back downstairs, Lovino had given up struggling and trying to get free and instead settling for glaring up at the stairs.

"Let's make something to eat, Lovi," Antonio said, scooping Lovino into his arms and walking into the kitchen.

"D-Dammit, you bastard! Put me down!"

Laughing, Antonio obediently set Lovi down on a stool. "What would you like querido? I can make pallea? Gazpacho? Churros?"

"To keep Feliciano and the potato from fucking each other and creating a damn potato bastard baby," Lovino retorted with a glare.

This answer was so unexpected that Antonio doubled over laughing, holding onto the counter for support.

"H-Hey! D-Don't fucking LAUGH, you bastard! I'm being serious here!"

"I-I'm sorry, Lovi! I can't help it!" Antonio managed to force out between laughs. "I was not expecting that! At ALL!"

"S-So?! You can still shut up!"

Wiping his watering eyes, the Spaniard went to the werewolf's side and hugged him. "I love you so much," he cooed.

"Hmph. No fucking sweet talk, dammit."

"B-But it's true!" the vampire whined. "I do love you! I love you a lot! You're just so adorable and funny and amazing! You're everything I ever wanted and hoped for! I have never been happier in my entire life than I am when I'm with you!"

Lovino blushed red and glanced away.

Gently turning Lovino back to face him, Antonio pressed his lips softly to the Italian's. The kiss was short and sweet. When Antonio broke it, he put his forehead lightly against Lovino's, his bright green eyes filled with love as they met the werewolf's honey amber orbs.

"T-Thanks…." Lovino stuttered.

"De nada, mi amor."

"… T-Ti amo…."

"Te amo~."
