AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY CAN'T SCHOOL BE OVER YET? I'M SO FREAKING DONE WITH SCHOOL. FUCK SCHOOL. THREE. MORE. WEEKS.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

"Dammit, you bastards! I can go to the fucking store by myself!" Lovino snapped as he headed for the front door.

"I don't want anything to happen to you!" Antonio whined, following the Italian closely, Feliciano nodding furiously behind him.

"I can handle it myself!" Lovino shot back.

"You aren't going alone!" Feliciano said firmly, attaching himself to his twin's arm.

Lovino growled and started trying to pry Feliciano off his arm. "I look like a damn brat to you?! I can handle it!"

Feliciano's eyes flashed and he growled. "You. Aren't. Going. Alone," he hissed. "It's only been six weeks since we caught that guy. I'm not letting you go anywhere alone as long as we don't know what happened to him."

"Watch me," Lovino challenged as he managed to pull himself free, then headed out the door and to his car.

The next thing Lovino knew, he was pinned, rather painfully, to the door of his car, one arm twisted uncomfortably behind him, Feliciano growling and trembling slightly behind him. The younger's eyes were glowing from his agitation, his sharpening teeth bared with annoyance. Fur had already sprung up along his arms, showing the elder twin how unhappy Feliciano was with the actions he was currently taking.

Lovino winced as he twisted around enough to glare back at Feliciano. "G-Get the FUCK off me! R-Right now!" he ground out.

Feliciano growled. "No alone!" he managed to said in a harsh, rough sounding voice, his vocal cords straining as they had already begun to change as well.

Lovino growled as he started changing too. "Get inside! NOW!"

The smaller werewolf flinched as the authority of the alpha washed over him, though it was weak. He was only able to defy the other because of this, shaking his head and pressing Lovino harder into the car, snarling.

Lovino growled more and snapped back at Feliciano with his teeth.

Before the two turned their threats into a real fight, Antonio and Ludwig pulled them apart.

Feliciano growled and snarled up at Ludwig, struggling and thrashing,trying to free himself.

"You take Lovino inside," Ludwig said as he held onto Feliciano. "I'll take Feliciano into the backyard."

Antonio nodded, beginning to lead Lovino back inside. "Good luck," he said before closing the door behind him.

"O-Off….!" Lovino growled and snapped at Antonio.

"I will, Lovi," Antonio promised. "Just hold on a moment, we're going to sneak out when Ludwig and Feliciano move."

Lovino growled and struggles more. "N-No! A-Alone, dammit!"

In the blonde vampire's arms outside the house, Feliciano continued to thrash and struggle, growling and snarling.

"Feliciano. Stop."

Feliciano snapped at Ludwig's arms, trying to sink his sharp teeth into the tough skin, clawing at the other. His eyes were glowing brightly.

Ludwig ignored the slightly stinging as he held on and continued moving the werewolf towards the back of the house.

As soon as they were gone, Antonio reopened the front door, then looked around. Discovering the other two gone, he took Lovino's hand, leading him back outside. "Lovi, do you want to go on a walk with me?" he asked.

"No!" Lovino snapped and tried to yank his hand away.

"Please, Lovi?"

"No!" Lovino repeated, biting at Antonio's arm, trying to scratch the vampire with his claws. "No baby, dammit! Alone!"

"Please, Lovi?"

"NO!"

"Please?"

"NO!"

"Please?"

Lovino growled more and bit at Antonio's arm.

"Lovi..." Antonio sighed, gently moving Lovino's head away from his arm. "Please, just let me go with you."

"F-Fuck you!"

The Spaniard reached out and lightly brushed the werewolf's arm with the tips of his fingers. "I love you..." he said softly. "I just want to help you... Please, querido. Please... let me help you..."

Lovino scowled as he looked down at the hand.

"Please..."

Lovino blinked, then glared to the side and growled. "F-Fine….."

"Gracias, mi querido." Taking his hand again, Antonio led Lovino down the path to the driveway, looked around, then quickly ran away into town with the Italian before anyone could stop them.

In the backyard, as soon as Feliciano could no longer see the driveway, he began to thrash violently, letting out a loud, furious shriek.

Still, Ludwig held on.

"Ludwig! Off! Off off off off off off OFF!" Feliciano screamed, twisting himself around in Ludwig's hold.

"Nein. I won't." Ludwig answered. "Not until you calm down."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!"

Ludwig gritted his teeth before yelling. "FELICIANO! STOP! Right now!"

Feliciano froze, staring up at Ludwig with wide, shocked eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Ludwig gently held Feliciano close as he said, "Just let Antonio work with your brother. It WILL work out."

The Italian looked away, his teeth and nails returning to normal as the fur disappeared from his body.

Ludwig slowly started to let go, but kept a hold on the Italian in case he needed to hold on tighter.

The werewolf began to tremble as tears filled him eyes.

Ludwig frowned at the sudden tears, then slowly and gently pulled Feliciano into a hug.

With a loud, hear-wrenching wail, Feliciano grabbed onto the front of Ludwig's shirt and began to sob, clinging to the vampire tightly.

"Shh…. Shh…. It's alright…. It's alright…."

Whatever seemed to have been making Feliciano upset went away and the werewolf slowly calmed. Sniffing softly, he nuzzled close to the German teen, then fell asleep.

Ludwig watched him for a few seconds, then carefully picked him up and carried him inside and up to the Italian's room.

"Ugh… Fucking tests! Fucking studying! Fucking EVERYTHING!"

"Oh Lovi, it's not that bad," Antonio said, smiling at the other.

It was nearing the end of the year for the school and all the students were beginning to study for finals. Some, however, were having far more trouble with this than others.

Lovino glared at him and scoffed. "THAT'S because you are a dumbass. And so's Feliciano! And burger bastard! Hell! All three of you bastards should start a 'we don't give a fuck about this fucking shit so who gives a damn if we fucking fail!' club!"

"Well, remember we have done this at least a hundred times before. It doesn't mean anything to us anymore," Antonio said, shrugging. "Meaning us vampires, of course."

"Whatever," Lovino retorted with an eyeroll. "Just warning you before the neurotic test psycho known as the potato bastard comes after you both."

"Both? You mean me and Feliciano?" the Spaniard asked.

"You. Feliciano." The werewolf started twirling his pencil in his hand. "Whatever unlucky bastard who is breathing too fucking loud. You name it."

The Spaniard laughed. "We'll see. Though, I will admit you are right. Ludwig does tend to go a bit nuts during testing."

Lovino raised an eyebrow. "A 'bit'? He's a fucking psycho who should be locked up!" He frowned and looked around. "Actually…. Where the hell is Feliciano…? Shouldn't he be here too?"

"I think he went with Ludwig to Kiku's house to get help studying," Antonio said.

"Hmph. Figures…"

"So, do you have any subjects you need help with?"

"Hell no, dammit. Why am I here right now?"

"Because this is your kitchen in your house...?" Antonio asked, looking around at the large room.

Lovino shot him a glare. "Fine. So why the hell are YOU here then?"

"You asked me to come here, remember? During lunch?"

"…. Dammit."

Antonio smiled. "So what subject did you want me to help you with, querido?"

"Nothing, bastard."

"So you just wanted to hang out with me then~?"

"I want you to shut up and fucking study."

"Because you care about me and want me to have a bright future from the school's perspective?" Antonio asked hopefully.

Lovino stared at him, then cursed under his breath. "Ugh… FINE, dammit… Just let me call Feliciano first to check on the dumbass and make sure the fucked up test psycho didn't fucking murder him for writing a 'I' wrong…"

A bright smile worked onto Antonio's face and he nodded. "Okay~! I'll wait here for you~!"

Lovino rolled his eyes then headed out of the room, calling his brother's cell phone.

Feliciano answered on the first ring. "Pronto, fratellone~!"

"So the psycho bastard hasn't fucking killed you yet?" Lovino scoffed. "Good to know."

"Veh? Why would Luddy kill me?" Feliciano asked, knowing exactly who his brother was referring to. "We haven't started studying yet! Kiku wanted to watch something first~! Luddy and him are setting up in the living room now~! I'm going to be able to study for the first time ever~!"

The older twin stared at the phone in disbelief. "Did you seriously just fucking quote the song you sang in damn play?!"

"Huh?" Feliciano asked in confused. After a moment, he understood what Lovino meant. "No! That was for the first time IN FORever! I was being serious, I wasn't trying to quote anything!"

"Whatever. Just fucking checking on you and shit. Have to get back to studying myself. Later. Oh. And it's your turn to make supper tonight. Don't be a dipshit and forget." Then Lovino hung up.

On the other end of the line, Feliciano blinked, then shrugged, sliding his phone back into his pocket and skipping back into the living room. "Luddy~! Kiku~! It was fratello calling~! It's my turn to make dinner!" He dropped down onto a cushion between the two. "Now, how do I study~?" he asked.

Ludwig drew up a schedule and gave it to Feliciano. "Here is a list of what to study and when. I left the exact adequate amount of time for sleeping and eating along with a small back as a 'just in case' to save time but not lose it. You will NOT break these rules do you understand me?" Then, without waiting for Feliciano to reply, continued. "As you can see, the first one on the list is math. According to your recent test scores, this one is the lowest so it must be worked with the most first."

Feliciano giggled and wiggled around on his cushion. "Oh lighten up, Luddy~!"

Ludwig frowned and shook his head no. "Nein. We've wasted too much time already. Start studying." Then he promptly opened up a math book and put it in Feliciano's hands and made the werewolf look at it.

The werewolf stared at his book, the numbers and words seemed to blur together in a matter of seconds. After only a few minutes, his eyes squinted and he whined, holding his book to his chest as he let himself fall backwards onto the floor, kicking his feet in the air. "So boooooooooored!"

"FELICIANO! You WILL continue studying until you have this learned!"

"But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

"No questions allowed! Study!"

"But it's soooo boooring!" Feliciano tossed his book aside and got up, running around the room. "I can't study, Luddy! There's so many more fun things to do!" He dropped back down at Kiku's side and grabbed the kitsune's shoulders, shaking him. "Kikuuuu! I can't stand this boring studying thing! You have to help me find something fun to do!"

"I-I'm very sorry, Feliciano-kun… but these are very important tests that I need to study for…" Kiku stuttered, being rescued a second later as Ludwig came over and yanked Feliciano away from him.

"Feliciano," Ludwig's stern voice ordered. "You WILL continue to study or you will do laps a punishment. Now come over here and sit down." Then he promptly picked up the book and forced it back into Feliciano's hands. "And I will allow no objections! Study now!"

"B-But-!"

"Silence! No buts at all! Study!"

Feliciano pouted. Instead of opening the math book, he picked up Ludwig's schedule. He blinked, checked the clock, then the schedule again. He smiled brightly. "It's time for a break~!" he cheered.

Ludwig scowled as he took it back. "Nein. That was your break because you were busy playing around. Now study."

"But Luddy~. We have to stick to the schedule if you want me to get anything done today, si~?"

"Nein. You just want to be lazy. Now get to work. I won't ask you again."

"So if I just ignore your order then I don't have to study~?" Feliciano asked cheekily.

"You still WILL study. But you will be punished."

"Nah~." Feliciano leaned towards his boyfriend and kissed him. "You won't punish me~! You love me~." He smiled and wiggled closer. "And I love you~."

"Feliciano…." Ludwig growled in warning, unaware of the nose-bleed coming from Kiku.

As he was sitting closer to Kiku than Ludwig, Feliciano smelled the blood and quickly turned towards his Japanese friend. "Kiku, are you ok- AHHH! HE'S BLEEDING!" he yelped, snatching up some tissues from the box on the table and pressing them to Kiku's face. "What happened!? Why are you bleeding!? Are you alright!?"

Kiku jerked out of his thoughts as an embarrassed flush covered his face. "O-Oh! Oh no! I-I am so very sorry Feliciano-kun! Ludwig-san! Please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? For what? What happened, Kiku?" the werewolf asked, concern and worry filling his voice.

"N-Nothing!" Kiku quickly stuttered then picked up a textbook. "We've wasted too much time! We really must study now!"

"Well… at least one of you makes sense…" Ludwig sighed then glared at Feliciano. "Feliciano. Kiku is right. Start studying. Now."

"Mm... Nah. I don't want to. It's boring. Even if I study, I know I'll just barely get a D minus. Math is hard~!" the Italian chirped, wrapping his arms loosely around Ludwig's neck and smiling brightly at him. "I've never studied before and I've made it this far, so I'll be fine~! And Luddy and Kiku are really smart, so they don't need to worry either~! You two will pass with hundreds I bet~!"

Ludwig stared at Feliciano then sighed. "Feliciano, I'm not above calling your brother right now and somehow getting him to give you a alpha order to study."

Feliciano frowned, then bopped Ludwig on the head with the schedule. "Don't you threaten me, mister," he whined.

Ludwig frowned as he took it away. "Then study or that's exactly what I WILL do."

The Italian smiled mischievously. "Good luck trying to get Lovi to do anything for you~."

"I'm sure even your brother can stomach me long enough if it's for your wellbeing."

He giggled. "I guess you'll have to see then~." He tossed his cell phone to the vampire, then got up and began to skip around the house, looking at all the pretty things Yao and Kiku had decorated the apartment in.

Ludwig sighed as he took it, then dialed Feliciano's house number and waited for it to get picked up.

Back at the Italian's house, Lovino jumped, then glared at the ringing phone. "You get the damn thing, you bastard! I'm busy!"

Antonio went over to the phone and picked it up. "Hola~!" he greeted cheerfully. "Vargas residence~! Who am I talking too?"

"Antonio?" Ludwig asked in surprise. "Er… Well... This might sound a bit odd, but may I speak to Lovino?"

"Sure~!" Antonio took the phone to Lovino, offering it to him. "It's for you~!"

Lovino frowned but took it anyway and put it up against his ear. "Pronto?"

"Er… Hallo, Lovino…. Don't hang up yet! I need your help with something. Can you get your brother to study? He's not listening to either one of us and continues to play around. I'm concerned he'll fail everything and be held back."

"The hell you're fucking concerned," Lovino scoffed, then paused as he thought it out. "But whatever, dammit. Having an asshole like you in my debt feels good. Put the dumbass on."

Ludwig nodded, then called out to Feliciano and held out the phone to him.

Feliciano skipped over and took his phone. "Pronto~?"

"So what's that shit about you not studying, dumbass? You want nonno to fucking bitch at you when you fail?"

"But it's so booooooring," Feliciano said, laying down and sprawling across the floor, watching Kiku and Ludwig studying.

Lovino groaned and gritted his teeth before an idea came to him. In a nonchalantly voice, he said, "Aww…. Well that's too bad you don't want to study…. Remember that new restaurant you like? The one with the all you can eat pasta, pizza, AND gelato that's really fucking delicious…? I heard that they're going to have a free food night for any student who passes their finals with flying colors and brings in their report card to prove it. Hell, I think they're even going to having a drawing too of a year's supply of free visits too. But well since you don't want to fucking study at all, I guess I'll tell you ALL about it when I go and stuff my face with all their delicious food…" He paused and waited for his brother's reaction.

Feliciano sat up so fast, Kiku and Ludwig jumped and checked to be sure he didn't have whiplash. "Tell. Me. How. To. Study," Feliciano whispered, gripping his phone tightly, staring at his friends with wide eyes.

Ludwig blinked at the sudden change, but nodded and motioned Feliciano over.

Back at the Vargas house, Lovino hung up the phone with a laugh. "And he thinks he's so fucking smart."

"So... What are you going to do if Feli passes all his tests and finds out you were lying?" the Spaniard asked.

Lovino froze, then facepalmed. "Shit... Didn't plan that far…."

Antonio chuckled. "It's alright, Lovi. Someone will probably just have to end up buying Feli as much as he can eat. It can't be more than Alfred."

"Oh yeah? Watch the dumbass. With any luck, it'll be the macho potato who has to buy for him," Lovino scoffed, then picked up his own textbook. "But dammit… Guess it's back to studying for us, too… So shut up and let me do it, bastard."

"Okay~!"

Lovino rolled his eyes and threw his eraser at Antonio's head. "I said shut up, bastard!"
