We'll Stay Here

--

The heat is intense, sun rays piercing through which can hurt anyone's skin, helato being in demand that day. It was the very day Antonio and Bella decided to take a tour to the National Library. Antonio successfully thought of an alibi to cancel their rendezvous and meet with Lovino instead. The place, he doesn't know. The people, Lovino and his brother along with the latter's German friend whom he never met before.

According to their earlier conversation, the three are bound to meet Antonio in front of the train station near their house, so the Spaniard did wait there. He arrived early because of two reasons; excitement and the fact that the train station is only walking distance away from his house. He got himself some helato as he waited for the group.

"Ay, it's so hot... I shouldn't have come so early.."

Just then, a call caught his attention. It was Feliciano, waving his hand as he ran towards him. Being dragged along the bubbly Italian was a tall man of blond hair brushed at the back of his head, the sideburns striking out. That was probably Feliciano's German friend.

"Ve~ Sorry if we're late!"

"No, not at all! I was just too early!" Antonio then turned his attention to the blond. "And you might be?"

"Guten Tag. Address me as Ludwig." The man named Ludwig stick out his hand for a handshake, in which Antonio happily accepted.

"I'm Antonio. It's nice to meet you!"

"Ditto."

"Stupid brother, I told you not to run off like that."

Suddenly, a familiar voice struck the Spaniard's ears. He can't be mistaken about it. Antonio perked up and waved at the man a few steps behind Ludwig and Feliciano, still with his trademark scowl. But as soon as Lovino laid his eyes on Antonio, his face changed. Well, who wouldn't?

A white long-sleeved but thin polo shirt tucked inside the pair of belly botttom pants, first button open, not to mention those newly shined brown leather boots were the articles of clothing worn by the attractive Spaniard. Antonio looked so different when not in his school uniform, especially when he exposed a part of his tan chest. He became even more beautiful in Lovino's eyes.

"Sorry, fratello. I just felt so happy that Antonio actually did show up!"

"Che. If he does fucking ditch us then I'll be sure to break his damn bones on Monday." he half-jokingly remarked, shooting a playful smirk at Antonio.

'Ah..'

His green eyes glimmered at the sight of those curves on the other man's lips. Antonio felt his face heat up a bit, but his tan skin successfully managed to mask the tint of pinkish color on his cheeks, making it invisible to anyone. He just laughed at Lovino's reply to hold himself together.

Their first stop was an arcade house. Antonio seemed a bit disappointed at this since he wasn't really a fan of virtual games and such. And so is Ludwig, judging from his face. But who knows? The German always looked so disinterested in things. As the Vargas brothers played a virtual gun game, the two stayed by their partner's side; Ludwig with Feliciano and Antonio with Lovino, though the two who are not playing are not far away from each other.

"You don't like gun games? You look like someone who's interested in military stuff."

"Ja, I am. And I prefer the real thing, not a toy."
