Alfred's POV

Arthur forgot to put the amps away. I sat on one, waiting for class to start. I began to hum along to 'American Idiot' again with a smile. The door opened slowly, and a familiar blonde head poked itself through. I could feel my eyes light up as I realized who it was.

"Artie! Dude!" I stood up and waved.

Arthur's face fell.

"Dear god, please help me."

I just laughed and ran over to him, pulling him in a hug. He squeaked at the sudden action, and tried to move away. When he realized pushing wouldn't work, he just ducked under my arms and ran across the room, hiding behind Feliciano and his brother. Feli turned around and started to talk to him. Obviously happy with the distraction, Arthur chatted back, then turned to Lovino to introduce himself. Lovi said something to him and walked away. Arthur looked a little shocked, and I think Feli was apologising for him. I shook my head with a smile and walked over.

"Hey boys. What's going on?"

Arthur's face fell slightly, but Feliciano just smiled.

"I was talking with my new friend Arthur!"

I grinned at him.

"New friend? Does he know you're friends?" I asked teasingly.

But then Feli's face fell, and he turned to Arthur, and I honestly have never seen Feliciano Vargas look so sad.

"Of course I'm his friend, you bloody twit." Arthur snapped.

Feli smiled again, and I ruffled his hair. 

"Sorry Feli. I was just joking."

Feliciano shrugged.

"What wrong with Lovi today?" I asked.

Feli sighed and shook his head.

"What isn't wrong with him today? He had a headache, that stupid Spaniard won't notice him, we ran out of tomatoes..."

My eyes widened.

"Wait, what?"

"We ran out of tomatoes?"

"No before that."

"He has a headache?"

"No after that."

"That stupid Spaniard won't notice him?"

I smiled. Feli and Arthur looked at me curiously.

"He likes Toni?"

Feli shrugged.

"He won't openly admit it, but yea. I think so." He said.

I could feel my face slowly breaking out into a grin. I had a plan, and it was going to succeed.

Arthur's POV

The American idiot had the biggest shit eating grin on his face, and it made me scared of what he was up to. Honestly. Alfred grabbed my arm and pulled me away. Feli followed.

"Feli, can I just- oh never mind you can stay." Alfred said.

I tried to pull my arm from his grasp.

"I know that the Italian twins grew up around Toni. Like, their parents knew each other or some shit. Right, Feli?"

Feliciano nodded.

"Si. That is correct. Vargas is actually a Spanish name, if I recall. I think that's what got their attention."

I just raised an eyebrow and looked at them both.

"So?"

Alfred grinned.

"If you sat with us at lunch, you'd know that Toni regularly talks about Lovino.
At first I thought it was because they were good friends. But actually reading into it, I noticed the way his eyes would light up when he spoke of him, the way his smile was kind of bright unlike his usual grin, and the way he'd get really defensive if I talked shit about him, even as a joke. So," he concluded, smiling at the both of us. "I think Antonio likes Lovino."

Feliciano grinned.

"Ooo, how perfect!"

I held my hands up.

"I am not going to play matchmaker for some guys I barely know." I snapped.

But both Alfred and Feli just stared at me, shit eating grins plastered on both of their faces. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Oh fine." I murmured.

Alfred turned to Feliciano.

"Hey, Feli, do you Ludwig, Kiku and Lovi want to sit with us at lunch?" He smiled a little slyly.

Feli winked a little and giggled.

"Of course."

The teacher, who I'd heard from Kiku was either from Greece or had and obsession with Ancient Greece, walked in then. She looked at me, and politely inclined her head.

"You must be Arthur. I hope you enjoy this class." She smiled at me.

I smiled back and she looked down at the papers she had.

"Okay guys, we're gonna start the class now yea? We have a new student, his name is Arthur, and I expect you to be nice to him. Okay, on with the class..."

I like this teacher already.

Alfred's POV

The assignment was to learn a song on an instrument of choice with a partner. Believe it or not, I had been the only one without a partner, so I just practiced on my own. But now Arthur was here, so he reluctantly agreed to be my partner.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

I smiled slightly.

"'Wake Me Up When September Ends' by Green Day."

He looked over at me.

"Huh. I actually know that song. I learnt it back in England."

"That's great. Now we need to practice."

The corner of Arthur's mouth lifted slightly.

"What do you play?"

I could feel my face heat up.

"I, uh, don't- can't  play anything."

Arthur raised an eyebrow.

"Yea? Then what do you do?" He asked.

"I'm... I sing...?"

Arthur looked kind of impressed.

"You do? That's cool."

I smiled at that.

"Yea. I guess."
