Toast for breakfast this time. He props his book open with an elbow, and when Nonno comes in he actually acknowledges him. Well, he waved a piece of toast. Hopefully that counts.

Sebastian bounces in a few seconds later. "Ciao!"

Of course, he gets a hug. Feliciano smiles sympathetically from across the table, ever the cheerful thirteen year old, so he can't feel too jealous.

Still, he does feel awkward. "I'm going out again today, Nonno."

"Where to this time?" He doesn't look surprised. None of them spend much time at home these days.

"My friend Isabella's."

Nonno sighs, and looks vaguely disappointed. "Which gadget are you talking about now?"

He's mildly offended. "Nonno, I am capable of making friends with actual human beings."

"Of course you are..." but he can tell he doesn't believe him.

"She lives at Ash cottage." Now he's got everyone's attention, even Sebastian, who was about to sneak out the back door.

"Isabella... Isabella Fernandez-Carriedo?" Does Nonno know her?

Lovino shrugs. "Maybe."

He's smiling. Hopefully that's a good sign. "She's a nice girl, from what I've heard. I talk to her mother at the swimming pool occasionally."

Now that's a mental image he doesn't want. "If it turns out she's my aunt..."

"You'll what?" Nonno winks.

Sebastian chimes in. "Please. Let's change the subject."

"Okay, okay." Nonno raises his hands in surrender. "Be back by five, I'm making cannelloni tonight."

Next to him, Feliciano squeaks in delight. "Pasta!" No one else seems to notice, but he's used to it. They both are.

A/n: Sorry about the delay, I actually forgot the website existed... whoops.

Sebastian = Seborga, although I'm not sure about the characterisation.
