Lonely Lovers ( Canada X Prussia )

Chapter 7

" Dude, Florida looks neat! " Alfred yelled, clinging onto Antonio's shoulders.
" Stop clinging onto my shoulder Alfred! You're too heavy! "
Alfred pouted.
"... So, I'll meet you in the building at 4. "
" Sure thing. Hope you don't have too much trouble unpacking, eh? Bye! "
" Wait, don't you want to talk to- "
Alfred jumped off the Spaniard's shoulders, punching Gilbert in the face, cutting him off.
" Eh? What was that? Oh, I gotta go. See you later! "
Matthew hung up.
" Jeez! What was that for? Don't you want to talk to your brother? "
" No! I wanna surprise him. "
" What do you mean, surprise him? "
" He hasn't seen me for years. Obviously he'd be shocked to see me there with you, right? " Alfred said with a ' duh ' voice.
" Yeah... I guess so. "
" Wait Antonio, did you tell Lovino you were moving to Florida? "
" Sì. I did. " The Spaniard sighed, recalling the memory that played in his head over and over.

Flashback

" Lovi... " Antonio made sure to knock before coming in to the grumpy Italian's room.
" What is it you shit stain? Come in already. "
Antonio sighed, closing the door behind him. He dragged his feet to the foot of Lovi's bed, not sure how to tell him this. He knew he couldn't be too blunt about it, and not too indirect either. That's why he didn't know how to phrase it for Lovi to know.
" I... "
" What? Just spit it out already... "
" I... "
Ah, screw this.
"... I'm moving to Florida. "
Lovi's head finally snapped towards him, eyes widening in shock.
" What? "
" I'm moving to Florida. " He blurted out uncomfortably, unsure of Lovino's reaction. Was he happy? Was he angry? Was he sad, maybe? He couldn't tell.
Lovino shook his head, sighing. He closed his eyes, trying not to let the tears spill from his eyes. He absolutely could not cry in front of Antonio.
" I'll... Leave you alone for awhile, amigo. " Just as Antonio got up from the bed, he felt a pair of warm arms hold him from behind.
" Lovi? " He felt Lovino's face burrowing into his back, signaling that Lovino was definitely hugging him.
He felt a warm sensation rise to his cheeks, he never got a hug from Lovino before. He was familiar with hugging people, he was a cheerful man who liked hugs after all. All hugs felt the same to Antonio, but not Lovino's. Lovino's was much warmer, and he could literally feel pure love pouring out from this gesture, unlike the other hugs he got. They were only out of friendliness, but not this one. This one was out of love and remorse.
" You bastard... When are you leaving? " Lovino whispered into his back.
" 2 more months, Lovi... " Antonio trailed off.
The Spaniard felt tears wet his back, and instantly felt guilty. It was the first time Lovino hugged him, but it was becoming sad now. Why did he have to ruin it? If only...
" Stay in contact with me, okay? " Lovino took out a piece of paper, handing it to Antonio. On the piece of paper, was his contact number.
" I will. " Antonio said, returning the hug that Lovino gave him.

Flashback End

" Mon ami, are you okay? "
" Huh? "
Francis sighed.
" Nevermind, we're here. Let's unpack. "

With Gilbert

" Oh mein gott, this room is huge~ " Gilbert whistled.
Looking at his watch, Gilbert sighed. It was only 3:00, which meant he still had some time to make himself comfy and talk to Ludwig and unpack.

< RING >

" Hello, this is Ludwig. Who is this? "
Gilbert felt his heart leap. Thank god, he picked up.
" Ludwig, it's me! "
" Bruder? Have you landed? "
" Ludwig, I'm already in the apartment. "
" ... Okay. "
After a pregnant pause, Gilbert spoke up.
" Ludwig, are you sure you're fine by yourself? "
He could hear Ludwig sigh from the other end.
" I'm fine, for the last time. Danke for your concern, though. And what did I tell you, I'm living with Feliciano and Kiku, so there's nothing to worry about. I have a job, and we're able to manage just fine. "
Gilbert sniffled.
" Luddyyyyyy! " He wailed into the phone.
" What? " He heard the other sigh again.
" I'm so proud of yoooouuuuuuuu! "
" Yeah, yeah. Okay. "
" Big bruder misses you! "
" Yes, I miss you too, bruder. "
" Hey, why don't you tell Feli to date you already- "
Ludwig hung up on Gilbert and he frowned.
" How rude~ "

With Antonio

" Lovino? "
" What, you tomato bastard? Have you landed yet? In the apartment yet? What about your job? " He heard Lovino grumble from the other side. Lovino might have sounded uncaring to other people, but not to Antonio. Antonio knew he did care, just that he chose not to show it. He didn't point that out to Lovino, though. The last thing he needed was a flustered and angry Lovino yelling at him.
" So many questions, Lovi~ You must really care about me, huh? " He blurted out without realizing what he said.
Lovino's face was so bright red you could literally see it from miles away.
" Shut up! I'm just curious, okay! "
" Okay, okay~ "

With Alfred

" Hello, this is Arthur Kirkland. Who's this? "
" Hey Iggy! 'Sup? " Alfred yelled into the phone so loudly, it made Arthur topple over.
" Stop yelling into the phone you git! Seriously! " He chided the younger.
" Sheesh, okay okay! I'm calling to tell you I'm in the apartment already. "
" Good. What are you working as? "
" Same old, same old. Businessman and such. You know how it is. "
" You're lucky enough to find a job in Florida. "
" Why? "
" The last time I went there, I wanted to work as a chef, but nobody wanted to hire me. I swear, they just don't appreciate good talent. " Mumbled the Brit.
" Your ' cooking ' sucks. "
" Why you little- "
" Later! "

With Francis

" Ugh, it's 3:15 and I have so much time to pack. Seriously... Maybe I should call someone... "
Francis picked up his phone and browsed through his contact list, only to find that the only people in his contact list was:

1. Antonio
2. Alfred
3. Gilbert
4. Ivan
5. Michelle ( Seychelles )

" Hmm... Let's call Michelle. "

< RING >
< RING >

" Please pick up... " Francis pleaded to no one in particular.
" Hey, this is Michelle. Please leave a message at the tone, thanks! "
" Forever alone... " Francis sighed, going to his emo corner.

A/N
Poor Francis, forever alone XD
