Hey happy Monday, guys. I'm really tired... My dad and I went to see a Red Wings game in Detroit, Michigan yesterday. Problem is, the game started at seven, and we had to leave at like 4:30 to get there on time. So... it was about 1:30 AM before we got back... I'm really tired... =_=;;
After their successful birthday party, the first they'd ever had, life for the two werewolves settled into a comfortable routine. Everyday they woke up, got ready for school, met up with their friends, went to class, ate lunch, and so on. But something was slightly off, it felt.
Whenever Feliciano was alone, no matter where he was, the boys' locker room or even the bathroom, he felt as though he was being watched. He would look around, smell the air, listen as close as he could. Still, he found nothing.
The other members of the group noticed a few weeks later the younger twin was becoming twitchy and paranoid. They discovered the problem when they joined Feliciano where he was sitting alone. The Italian nearly flipped the table over in shock when Alfred sat beside him, not to mention how fast he'd jerked away from him.
"Whoa. Hey man, are you alright?" Alfred asked, worried for his friend.
"O-Oh, um, si. Mi dispiace, Alfred. I didn't mean to frighten you," Feliciano apologized, blushing lightly and returning to his seat, ignoring the strange looks he was receiving for his outburst.
"Is something wrong?" Kiku asked in concern. "Are you sick? Maybe Yao can do a checkup for you."
Before Feliciano could reply, Lovino stomped over and grabbed the back of Feliciano's shirt before yanking him to his feet and dragging him off. "We'll be back, you bastards. Just stay the fuck there."
Feliciano squealed, struggling.
The group members glanced at each other, unsure what to do.
"The hell's going on with you?!" Lovino demanded as soon as the two of them were far enough away.
"S-Something or s-someONE is watching me," Feliciano whispered, glancing around suspiciously and twitching.
Lovino frowned as he crossed his arms. "You smell anything?"
"No! T-That's the thing! S-Someone could be sneaking up on me and I-I would never know until it's to late!" Feliciano's eyes were wide and mistrusting. He leaned close to Lovino and whispered, "T-They could be anywhere."
"You want to talk to one of damn teachers or something?" He asked as his frown deepened in concern.
"NO! THEY'RE IN ON IT!" Feliciano shrieked.
"They're NOT fucking in on it…." Lovino grumbled.
"How can you KNOW!? You CAN'T! It's a plot, fratello! S-Someone's following me and it's only a matter of time before I slip up and they get me!" Feliciano yelled, grabbing the front of the elder twin's shirt and shaking him.
"That's fucking it," Lovino growled as he pried Feliciano off then started to drag him to the entrance. "We're going to go see the Chinese bastard. Right NOW."
"N-No! He's in on it! I'm sure he is!" Feliciano screamed.
His yells attracted the attention of their friends and soon, the entire group had gathered around them.
"Lovi, what's wrong with him?" Antonio asked worriedly.
"Ja, he doesn't look to good," Gilbert commented.
"He's fucking losing it!" Lovino snapped. Then he quieted down before saying, "He thinks some bastard's after him and everyone's in on it."
"What? Feli! Who's after you!? I'll go beat them up and save you cuz that's what a hero does!" Alfred declared.
Antonio frowned a little. "Who would possibly be going after Feli?" he asked. "I can't picture him doing anything bad enough that someone would stalk him or anything..."
While the group conversed, Feliciano stood in the center of the hallway, his eyes darting left and right as he twitched from the slightest noise. Suddenly, he thought he heard something right above him and his head shot up to look, his eyes glowing gold in fright.
"How the hell should I know that?!" Lovino snapped then growled at Feliciano as his own eyes flashed gold. "Feliciano, don't you DARE fucking lose it right now. You hear me?"
"U-Um… shouldn't we do something to calm him down….?" Matthew stuttered nervously.
"I could always do a spell to calm him…" Arthur said as he thought about it.
"Non! What if that makes it worse!" Francis exclaimed.
"Feliciano…?" Ludwig asked as he set his hand on Feliciano's shoulder while Kiku started calling Yao on his cellphone. "Look at me please."
The Italian turned his head back to look at Ludwig, twitching occasionally.
Ludwig leaned down and gave Feliciano a quick kiss on the lips, ignoring Lovino yells and sputters.
Feliciano's eyes widened slightly and, for a moment, his twitching stopped.
"Please… calm down," The vampire gently said as he pulled away.
Slowly, Feliciano nodded. "Si, you're right," he whispered, leaning close to the German. "I can't let them know I'm on to them." He glanced around one more time. "They'll only get harder to catch. You're very smart, Luddy."
Lovino frowned then glanced at Arthur. "Do the damn spell."
"W-What…?!" Arthur sputtered, then, under Lovino smoldering glare started casting the spell on the younger twin.
Hearing the sounds of the spell, Feliciano whipped around to face the wizard. "What are you doing?" he demanded, taking a step back. A realization seemed to dawn on him and Feliciano jumped away from the group, backing away. "Y-You're all in on it, aren't you? You're a-all out to get me!"
"Cast the fucking spell! Now!" Lovino snapped as Arthur huffed and shot the spell at Feliciano.
The spell hit Feliciano in the center of his chest and the Italian instantly fell to the ground and went still, his eyes dulled.
Lovino pulled him up and, to everyone's surprise, handed Feliciano over to Ludwig. "Take him home to nonno. Right now. Get the Chinese bastard to meet you there." Then he shoved Ludwig away and forced the vampire to start walking off as he messed with his own hair to make it look like Feliciano's. Then he frowned as he glanced at Antonio and groaned. "Ugh… I can't fucking believe I'm going to say this... but… brow bastard? Make the tomato bastard look like the macho potato."
"Um... What?" Antonio asked.
Lovino groaned as he rubbed his forehead. "Have you EVER seen Feliciano without that bastard at school? The REAL one needs to stay with Feliciano so guess what bastard. You're up."
Sadly resigning himself to his fate, Antonio turned to Arthur. "Make me look like Ludwig please..." he mumbled.
Arthur nodded and did the spell as Lovino's expression shifted to one of disgust as he watched.
When the spell was finished, Antonio looked like an identical copy of the German vampire. Antonio sighed. He had nothing against the other boy, he just preferred looking like himself rather than anyone else. And there was the added fact that Lovino hated Ludwig, which made looking like the other just that much more unappealing to the Spaniard.
"Let's get this shit over with," Lovino growled as he grabbed Antonio's arm and dragged him off. "As quickly as we fucking can."
"What are we looking for?" Antonio asked as he was dragged along.
Lovino shrugged in reply. "Guess some bastard trying to do the same shit to me that they did to Feliciano."
"Well... What did happen to Feliciano? Is he okay?" Antonio asked, worried about the younger of the twins. "He was freaking out..."
"… no fucking clue…" Lovino sighed. "All I know is that he kept getting more and more paranoid and jumpy…. Not acting like himself at all. Now shut the fuck up and act like the potato already before we get caught."
Antonio cleared his throat, then said, sounding incredibly awkward, "F-Feliciano, you really should calm down a little and trust us. We're your friends; we aren't going to hurt you or let anything else hurt you. I'll protect you, and so with Lovino." The words felt strange coming off his tongue.
Lovino stared at Antonio then gritted his teeth. "Feliciano SO fucking owes me after this…" Then putting on a smile that looked just like his brother's, Lovino lunged forward to hug Antonio's arm. "V-Veh…. Luddy…. I'm scared..."
"J-Ja, I know," Antonio said, trying to sound gentle. How the hell did Ludwig manage to do anything!?
Then Lovino gasped. "Veh! We need to hurry! We might be late!" Then he started leading Antonio back to the school while keeping an eye out for anything strange.
"Be late for what?" Antonio asked, glancing around casually.
"Uh…. Non lo so!"
"Well, class is starting again soon. I guess we'll go to class now."
"Va bene~~!" Lovino chirped and hugged Antonio.
Antonio forced a sigh while internally, he was squealing over the idea of Lovino hugging him willingly. "F-Feliciano," he said, his voice cracking slightly as he tried not to say 'Lovino' instead, "please let go of me."
"Veh~!" Lovino whined while shooting Antonio a split second glare in warning. "But I like hugging you~!"
"I-I know, but we're in an institute of learning. It's indecent," Antonio answered.
Lovino was unable to stop the small snort but still managed to keep hugging. "B-But…. It feels good, Ton-Luddy!"
Somehow, Antonio forced himself to blush. "T-That doesn't make it okay!" he stuttered.
"B-But! L-Luddy~~~!"
Suddenly, something attached itself to Antonio's other arm and he jumped in surprise, whipping his head around to face it. It was the girl from the dance! The one Feliciano and Ludwig had had the problem with!
"Luddy~!" she cooed, pressing her body close to his. "I haven't seen you since the dance~! Why don't you ditch that annoying little ass over there and come hang out with me~?" She batted her lashes at him and Antonio felt himself grow angry.
Lovino growled then spat, "WHAT did you call me, veh? And why are you here? Go away."
The girl glared at him, making a disgusted noise in the back of her throat. "Ugh, don't you have something to go and be paranoid over? Or do I need to give you a bit more?" she asked, smirking at him. "Maybe I'll even get a few more people to follow you around too."
"YOU?!" Lovino snarled as he lunged forward and grabbed her by the throat as his eyes turned gold as his teeth and nails started lengthening. "YOU'RE the fucking bitch who's doing this shit to mio fratellino?! Just so you can get that damn potato bastard?! What's your fucking problem, bitch?!"
The girl screamed. "L-Ludwig! Help me! S-Save me from this psycho!" she cried, clawing at Lovino's hand.
Antonio glared. "That 'psycho' just so happens to be my boyfriend, so I think you should consider your words before you speak anymore," he growled, his appearance reverting back to how he should look.
Lovino snarled again as his hair fell back to its normal spot while he spat, "Leave my brother the FUCK alone! Got that bitch?! Do it unless you want me to rip your fucking head off right this fucking second!"
The girl screamed loudly again and the two heard the sounds of people running towards them. Thinking quickly, Antonio knocked the girl out, then grabbed Lovino's hand and ran. "I think we're done for the day," he said to the other. "Back to your house to check on Feli?"
Lovino panted and nodded as he started trying to calm himself down and go back to normal.
Squeezing the Italian's hand comfortingly, Antonio led the way back to the rest of their friends. "We're going to make sure Feli is okay. Kiku, you should come with us," he said, looking pointedly at the Japanese teen.
When Kiku agreed, the trio quickly left the school and started towards the Vargas' home. Antonio looked at Lovino and said, "He's going to be okay, Lovi. I promise."
