Barely managed to make this one... =_=;; Anyway, it's almost 2 AM. It's a school night. I stayed up JUST TO EDIT THIS CHAPTER FOR YOU FUCKERS SO YOU BETTER APPRECIATE IT. ... please?

Anyway, sorry for the... abrupt ending? Not really sure why it just stops there.

Happy Monday!

The last week of school flew by quickly. It took a while, but eventually the twins managed to regain their trust of their grandfather. The first day of Christmas break, Feliciano got up early with Lovino to do some shopping for their boyfriends, though Lovino continuously claimed that he was only going to look and not really get Antonio anything. Feliciano already had an idea of what he was getting. As he waited for Lovino to get ready, he explain to Gino what it was.

Gino mewed happily, nuzzling his owner, then ran off to find his own brother.

"Lovi~! Are you ready? We gotta get going!" Feliciano called, knocking on his twin's door.

"I'm coming, dammit!" was the response. "Stop bitching already will you?! Fucking stores aren't going anywhere…."

"No, silly fratello. Stores can't move unless they're on wheels," the younger answered. "But I'm not worried about the stores leaving! I'm worried they won't have what I want if we take to long to get there!"

"Then just grow a pair of damn wings and fly there!" Lovino retorted in a sarcastic tone.

"Fratelloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Feliciano whined. "Hurry up! We gotta goooooooooooooooo!"

"I'm coming, dammit! I'm coming!" Lovino snapped as he opened the door and walked past Feliciano. "Stop whining already!"

"Yay~!" Feliciano jumped onto Lovino's back, his arms going around his neck, his legs locking around his brother's stomach. "To the shopping mall place~!" he chirped excitedly, jumping away and running downstairs faster than Lovino could react.

Lovino grumbled to himself as he followed after him, already feeling tired and not even to the mall yet.

Feliciano drove the two to the mall, babbling excitedly the entire trip, not even noticing that his brother was ignoring him. The parking lot was starting to fill up, but thanks to a few skillful maneuvers, Feliciano managed to get a good spot. Getting out, they got into the line forming at the door, waiting for the mall to open. Feliciano bounced up and down in anticipation, radiating excitement.

"Should have let me fucking drive..." Lovino complained as he glared towards the door.

"Why? The mall would have still been closed," Feliciano pointed out. "And remember, we picked my car because it has more truck space~! We can get more stuff with my car~!" The doors suddenly opened and people began to flood in. The brothers entered and started off towards the first store. "So, what do you think you'll get Toni for Christmas~?"

"…. A new fucking brain."

The Italian giggled. "No, really," he said, prodding the other's side.

"Don't know," Lovino shrugged as he swatted the hand away.

"Well, I'll keep a look out for something for him too~! I can't get Luddy's present yet, but I'm going to go and make sure the store will save one for me~! I don't want you to know what it is yet, so will you wait in the book store for me to get back?" Feliciano requested.

"Like hell I'll do that," Lovino scoffed. "Let's just hurry the fuck up and get this shit over with."

"I'll be quick, Lovi, I promise! Please! I don't want the store to run out before I get there! And I know if you with me, you'll talk me out of it and I really really really want to get him this and I have for a while! Per favore, fratello! Per favore, per favore, per favore!" the younger Italian whined, clasping his hand together before him, his eyes wide and pleading.

Lovino growled and rolled his eyes. "Fine... but I'LL look for the tomato bastard's gift myself."

"Okay~! Grazie, fratello~! Grazie grazie~!" Feliciano squealed. Deciding on a meeting spot, Feliciano ran off.

Grumbling and rolling his eyes Lovino walked off to start searching himself.

About twenty minutes later, Feliciano appeared in the crowd, skipping towards his twin. "Lovi~!" he cheered, bouncing to the other's side. "I got what I want~! They said they'll hold onto it until we leave~! I can pick it up before we go~!" He smelled strongly of perfume and his eyes were a little red from the incredibly powerful, at least to him, odor. "I had to take a short cut through the perfume department and they sprayed me a few times cuz they thought I was a girl again."

"I-I'm already done, dammit..." Lovino muttered as he wrinkled his nose while hiding a bag behind him. "Let's get out of this hellhole already."

"Veh! Wait! I have to get something for nonno!" Feliciano cried. "We can't leave yet!"

"Ugh… Fine, let's go get the damn thing already..."

"Yay~!" The two walked deeper into the mall. After a good half hour of wandering, they sat down in front of the fountain to rest their feet. Feliciano sighed. "I haven't seen anything I want to get nonno yet. Have you, fratellone?" he asked.

"I already said I'm DONE, dumbass…" Lovino retorted as he rolled his eyes.

"I know, I know," Feliciano pouted. "Well, what did you get him? Do you have any ideas of what I could get him? I really have no idea what to do and I would feel so bad if I didn't get him something! Please help me?"

"I'll help…" Lovino grumbled. "And I got the bastard a book on how to fucking act in public."

Feliciano laughed.

"S-Stop laughing, you little bastard!" Lovino sputtered then smacked Feliciano on the arm.

"No no! I'm not laughing at you!" Feliciano giggled. "I think that's cute~! But I have no idea what I should give him... Hmm... What do you think he would like?" His eyes scanned the bustling mall, hoping something would catch his eye.

"….. That woman over there selling cooking supplies," Lovino muttered.

Feliciano looked over, his gaze critical. "Hmm... Maybe... By why do we need new cooking supplies? Ours are still really good," he said, slightly confused.

Lovino groaned and facepalmed. "I don't mean the damn cooking supplies... I meant that old bastard would want the WOMAN selling them."

"I don't think she's for sale, fratello," Feliciano said. "I'll have to look for something else. Probably not something alive though. Maybe a book of ancient history? Nonno goes like to talk about Rome and gladiators and stuff..."

"I guess. Do whatever you want," Lovino said with a shrug.

"Yay~! Thanks for the help, fratello~!" the younger chirped, jumping to his feet. "To the book store~!" Pulling the other to his feet as well, Feliciano dragged Lovino off into the crowd, running towards the store.

After picking out a good book for their grandfather, Feliciano suggested they stop in the food court for lunch before they went home. Once they were seated with their chosen food, the smaller male spoke. "It's been so long since it's just been you and me hanging out~!" he said. "I'm having fun~! Can we do just this one last thing, please?"

"….. What 'one last thing'….?" Lovino asked warily.

"I was just thinking of picking a store at random, then running through to see if we can get from one end to the other and back before we get asked if we need help by the staff~! I think it's called the back wall challenge. You have to touch the back wall and make it back before any worker can ask if you need anything~!" Feliciano explained, smiling excitedly.

"….. How the hell would we even be able to do that in this crowd?"

"That just adds to the challenge~!"

"No fucking comment…."

"Come on, Lovi! Let's do it! It'll be fun! Then I promise we can go home! Please? I really want to! I know Luddy wouldn't let me do it and he wouldn't want to anyway, but it would be really cool to be able to do it with you!" Feliciano whined, tugging at the other's clothes.

Lovino groaned as he pried Feliciano off his clothes. "Ugh! Fine! I'll fucking do it!"

"Yay~!"

"Where do we start?" Lovino grumbled.

"Over there~!" Taking his hand, Feliciano led his twin over to a spot just outside of the large department store's entrance. "On the count of three, we go. Ready?" he asked, bouncing with excitement.

Lovino grumbled to himself but braced to run. "Guess so, dammit."

"Uno..." The two get into position. "Due..." They tensed, ready to go. "TRE!" The twins burst forward, running as fast as they could, dodging through the crowd and rocketing into the store, making a mad dash for the other end.

Lovino continued running as fast as he could, not really paying attention to his brother but just concentrating on running.

Feliciano watched the area around him as best he could, keeping his eye out for any employee that might have been coming towards them. He saw a man in the store's uniform heading towards him, a smile of his face. He quickly changed his direction, darting away from his twin and into the clothes racks to take a detour around the salesman.

Lovino also dodged the worker and increased his speed.

After a few more close calls, both of them made it to the back of the store, their palms pressed to the wall. "Ready to go for round two, fratello?" Feliciano asked, grinning brightly. He was enjoying the time he was spending with his brother and he was happy the other had agreed to do this with him.

Lovino smirked back. "WATCH ME." Then he darted off into the crowd.

"CHEATER!" Feliciano raced after him.

Lovino laughed a little as he ran off as fast as he could.

In the end, Lovino won, managing to make it back without being spoken to. Feliciano was caught near the end, and he laughed as he exited the store. "That was fun~! Grazie for doing that with me, fratello~!"

"You're welcome," Lovino shrugged as he checked his bag to make sure nothing was broke. "But why the hell are you thanking me for that?"

"Because we don't really ever hang out anymore... I'm usually with Luddy and you're usually with Toni. And we seem to fight a lot more now than we used to..." the younger said, his voice growing softer with each word. He stared at the ground, playing with the end of his coat.

Lovino bit his lip and glanced away. "….. sorry…."

"Don't apologize, fratello," Feliciano murmured, reaching out and gripping his twin's sleeve. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. It's just something that I noticed had happened. And I want to change that. I want us to be like we were before we met Luddy and Toni. Veh, we were best friends then. Now... Now it just feels like we're not as close."

"I know dammit... just... fucking hate it…"

"I think we can fix it."

Lovino paused then glanced over at him. "How?"

"By doing things like this." He gestured around them at the crowed mall. "Hanging out together. Going and doing something with just us, no Ludwig or Antonio. Like before we knew them. We should pick one day every week to just be our day. No boyfriends, no friends, no nothing. That day is just ours to spend with each other however we want."

Lovino thought about it and nodded. "Sounds good. Oh, and the full moons don't count, dammit."

Feliciano smiled. "No way. That day is an acception," he agreed.

"Well? Any other shit we should do now? Or head back?"

"I can't think of anything else right now. So I guess we can head back. I just have to stop at the store to get Luddy's present before we go. Oh! And we need to stop and get food for Gio and Gino."

"Uck… A fucking pet store…" Lovino grumbled. "Those damn places stink…"

"Well, you could just go start my car and I can get the food while I pick up Luddy's present," the younger twin offered. "If you'll take nonno's present to the car with you." He pulled his keys from his pocket, offering them to the other.

Lovino rolled his eyes. "I was complaining about the damn smell. I never said I wasn't going too."

"Well if you go now, then the car will be warm when we start to go home. I'm offering to make it so you don't have to go into the pet shop," he clarified. "You sense of smell is better than mine, so I can go."

"... I'll go get the damn car warmed up. Don't take too damn long," Lovino grumbled as he snatched the keys and present away then walked off.

Once he was gone, Feliciano smiled and ran to the pet shop, making a single, quick stop on the way.

Lovino grumbled as he headed to the car and after hiding his present to Feliciano in his coat, sat inside and started up the heater.

Feliciano waddled towards the car, carrying something in his arms. He set it on the roof of the car, then opened the door. "Hi, Lovi~!" he chirped, setting his bags in the backseat. Then, he took what he'd set of the roof, and placed it in the back seat.

It was a cage. Inside, was a tiny German Shepard puppy.

Lovino frowned as he glanced back at the puppy. "…. There's a fucking dog in the car. Why?"

The Italian smiled brightly. "It's Luddy's present~!" he explained cheerfully. "Since we all got pets but him, I wanted to get him a friend to! And I missed his birthday, so I'm giving him a Christmas puppy instead~!"

"There's no such thing as a damn Christmas puppy, dumbass. And what are you doing to do with him before Christmas anyway?"

"I'll keep him in my room~! I'll train him to go to the bathroom outside and how to behave. And I'll tell him all about Luddy~!" Feliciano chirped, getting into the driver's seat and shutting the door. Putting the car into drive, he started to drive home.

"And what about our damn CATS….?"

"I'll tell them he won't be with us long. They only need to be nice to him for a week, then it'll be Christmas and he'll be on his way to live with Luddy!"

Lovino groaned and facepalmed. "Don't you even hear yourself right now...?"

Feliciano blinked. "Um... Yeah? Why? Does my voice sound weird or something?"

"No… just your damn thought process sometimes…."

"What's wrong with it? It makes perfect sense!"

"Ugh… Nevermind, dammit..." Lovino groaned. "Can we just get home already?"

The younger laughed. "That's where I've been driving to, fratello," he said.

"No shit…" Lovino grumbled.

"Then why did you ask if we could go home?"

"I don't fucking know," Lovino said with a shrug. "Guess I'm just tired.

"We'll be home soon," Feliciano promised, pressing down on the gas pedal, the car shooting forward.

"Whatever," Lovino muttered then glanced back at the puppy. "Wonder why that bastard isn't flipping out knowing what we are. Aren't dogs and wolves fucking enemies or something?"

"That's foxes I think. But I talked to him already. He knows what we are, and he can smell us remember? He isn't afraid," Feliciano said, using his mirror to smile into the back seat at the puppy who give one soft yip at him.

"Stay away from my damn cat, mutt," Lovino told the puppy then turned his attention back to the front.

"Hey! Be nice! He's just a baby! He won't go near Gio!" Feliciano whined.

"Whatever. It's a fucking warning."

Feliciano pouted the rest of the drive home.

A week later, Romulus, Lovino, Feliciano, Ludwig, and Antonio were gathered together in the Vargas' home. The other's had been invited as well, but had elected to go to Alfred and Matthew's party instead, letting the two vampires spend time with their boyfriends without interruption.

Feliciano was sitting next to Ludwig and leaning against his chest, the German boy's arms around him. He was smiling brightly and could hardly wait for him to open his present. He looked up at him, his eyes filled with excitement.

"E-Er…. I have your present… If you want to open it now…" The German vampire awkwardly said.

The Italian giggled. "I think you should probably open my present to you first," he said, carefully picking up the box at his feet and sliding it onto Ludwig's lap. "Don't shake it. It's fragile," he warned happily. "Open it, open it~!"

Ludwig nodded and slowly started to open it up, only to jump slightly when he felt something wet hit his finger. "W-Was….?! What was that…?"

"Open it and see~!"

Ludwig frowned then completely unwrapped it and started to open the box while staring at the holes on the side.

Feliciano squealed softly, bouncing excitedly. "Hurry up~!"

Finally, Ludwig got the box open and gasped in surprise. "F-Feliciano….?"

The puppy yipped, setting his paws on Ludwig's hand. "Merry Christmas, Ludwig," Feliciano cooed, leaning forward and kissing him gently.

"W-Was….? H-How…?" Ludwig stuttered as he gently picked the puppy up.

"Well, you didn't have a pet and everyone else did, and I didn't want you to feel lonely, so I've been looking around for the perfect companion for you. I would have gotten you one for your birthday, but you didn't tell me when it was so... I got him for you now. D-Do you like him?" Feliciano asked, lightly scratching the pup's ears. The tiny dog yipped happily, nuzzling his hand and licking his fingers.

Ludwig nodded as he started petting the puppy. "Ja… He's great. Danke."

As the pair were talking, Antonio slid a brightly wrapped package onto Lovino's lap, pressing a kiss to the Italian's cheek. "You're turn, querido," he said, smiling lightly. "I hope you like it."

Lovino took it with a blush on his face and turned it over in his hand. "O-Open yours first, bastard…"

"Tan lindo~." Picking back up the gift Lovino had handed to him, he began to unwrap it.

Lovino held onto his present as he watched while biting his lip. "Watch out, bastard. The damn thing's fragile but it's not going to fucking lick you."

Carefully, Antonio removed the paper on the gift. His eyes widened as he slowly lifted the small mahogany box from his nest of protective cotton padding. The boxes smooth, shinny, surface was laced with small intricate designs, one swirling beautifully into the next. Slowly, the vampire lifted the lid, and the tune of Music Box Dancer played forth.

"Oh Lovi..." Antonio breathed, turning to look at his boyfriend, tears building in his eyes. "I love it. Thank you so much. It's beautiful."

"You... You DO?"

"Yes, of course I do. How could I not?" Antonio smiled, blinking his eyes to clear them. "It's the best present I've received."

"G-Good... I was worried about what to get you…"

"It's perfect, Lovi. Gracias. Gracias." The Spaniard gently pulled the werewolf closer, kissing him lightly.

Lovino kissed back and pulled away. "So what's this damn thing?"

"Open it and see~."

Lovino shrugged and started to open it.

Antonio watched him excitedly, hoping he would like it. He didn't have very much money to spend on the other, but he'd done the best he could.

Lovino slowly unwrapped and opened the present then blinked in surprise. "W-Wow… Is this really…?" he asked as he looked through the sketchbook and pencils then stopped on the CD. Hold on a second... Was that a goddamned SIGNATURE!?

"D-Do you like it?" Antonio asked nervously. "I-I remembered you said you liked his music s-so I... I got you that. And I-I saw that sketchbook and I just thought you would like it so I grabbed it and I heard those pencils are s-suppose to be really good!" The Spaniard babbled on nervously, worried how Lovino would react, hoping with all his might he would like them.

"N-No! I love it, dammit!" Lovino quickly said then hugged Antonio. "It's great!"

"R-Really?" Antonio sighed in relief, hugging the younger close. "I'm glad."

"Thanks, bastard…." Lovino mumbled.

"E-Er…. Here…." Ludwig stuttered as he pulled out a small wrapped box and held it out. "Sorry it's not as big as the one you gave me though…"

Feliciano smiled gently. "The size doesn't matter, Luddy," he said. "What matters is the thought." He carefully unwrapped the box, revealing under the decorative paper a small jewelry box. Curiously, he opened the lid. His eyes widened and he gasped softly.

Sitting in the center of the box nestled into the soft cotton padding was a small pendent in the shape of the Italian national flower, the daisy. He gently took it from the box and held it up. "Luddy... It's beautiful," he said, his voice soft. "I... I love it." He gave his boyfriend a blindly bright smile.

"It's a locket… a-and… er… are you sure that it's not too girly….? I… wasn't sure what exactly to get you…."

"It's perfect," Feliciano assured him, undoing the clasp and putting the silvery chain around his neck. He looked down at the locket that rested lightly on his chest, sparkling slightly in the lights. "Thank you, Luddy. Thank you so much." He took the German teen's hand, squeezing it gently.

"Whoever was the fucking IDIOTA who came up with fucking Valentine's Day should be fucking shot for his stupidity," Lovino grumbled as he headed to his car to go to school. "And dammit Feliciano! Why the hell are you riding with me today?! You have your own damn car!"

"Veh, school is scary on Valentine's Day!" Feliciano whined, getting into his brother's car. "All the girls become stalkers and follow me around and you and Luddy aren't around to protect me and they give me weird looks!"

"W-Well… that's because of…. Dammit… what's that female shit again? PMB…? PMA…..? Ugh! PM something, dammit!"

Feliciano shrugged helplessly.

"Let's just go, dammit…"

When the two arrived the the school, they rushed to their lockers a quickly as possible. They discovered the two metal contraptions to be burst open, both filled entirely with chocolates, presents, and all kinds of love notes. Feliciano whimpered. "S-Scary..."

Lovino swallowed as he stayed right where he was. "I-I thought you said they were just after you… S-So why's my damn locker filled up…?!"

"N-No, I said they stalk me, I didn't say they w-weren't doing the same to you! You just never noticed before! I'm scared! Luddy! Luddy!" Feliciano cried, hiding behind his twin away from the over flowing lockers.

Lovino paled as he started backing away from the lockers. "W-What?! F-Fuck this! I'm going home right now!"

The Italians bumped into something has they backed away. "Hola, Lovi~! Feli~! Where are you guys going? School is about to start!" Antonio's cheerful voice asked behind them. The pair spun around, discovering the vampire and Ludwig.

"LUDDY!" Feliciano shot into his boyfriend's arms, clinging to the front of his shirt. "M-My locker!"

"Ja… I see…"

"I-It's a disease, dammit!" Lovino exclaimed as he pointed at the lockers. "It's a fucking disease that's infecting the whole fucking world! We have to save ourselves before it fucking gets us too!"

Antonio laughed. "Lovi, it's just your secret admirers giving you guys presents and love notes," he explained. "There's nothing to be afraid of. It happens to Francis, Gilbert, me, and even Ludwig every year. You just have to take the stuff out and put it in the trash."

Lovino quickly shook his head no. "N-No! Nu uh, dammit! I-I'm going home! It's WAY fucking safer there!" Then he started to walk off.

Shaking his head and smiling, Antonio wrapped his arm around the Italian and started walking off to class. "See you guys at lunch~!" he chirped to the other pair, ignoring Lovino's furious shrieks and hits.

"L-Luddy, I'm scared," Feliciano whimpered once the two were gone. "W-Why did we get all this stuff? A-And why are those stuffed animals s-so cute?"

"Er….. Well… I guess they like you…" Ludwig said with a slightly jealous undertone to his voice. "You would think they would show some respect though…"

"Don't worry, Luddy," Feliciano sniffled, nuzzling his face to the German teen's chest. "I still love you the best. I don't care what anyone tries to give me. I don't want stuff from them. I'll never leave you for any reason."
