"So, what do you all think to an autumn one?" Feliciano asked you all as you sat around the large table. You had finished the starter and main meal and were having drinks before desert.
"I think that sounds wonderful! Don't you?" You said as you asked Gilbert, he nodded and smiled as he took a drink from his beer. As they talked about the anniversary party Feliciano and Ludwig were throwing to celebrate their five year anniversary. As you discussed the plans, Alfred, Ivan, Lovino and Ludwig all sat looking rather bored as they drank their drinks. Feliciano had sat you next to Lovino, though he hadn't looked at you for most of the meal. You noticed he never really spoke much, unless Antonio or Feliciano spoke to him first.
"Hey, maybe you could play the guitar, Antonio? Just for a while, obviously not all night." When he asked this, Antonio instantly smiled and nodded.
"I didn't know you played the guitar!" Wang said, you all looked at the Spaniard as he nodded and smiled as he swallowed his wine.
"Oh, yes! I learnt when I was a boy. I also used to play when Lovino was practicing his dancing, right?" When he said this, you turned to look at the man sat beside you to see his cheeks were a bright red and he was looking down at the table as he moved his wine around his glass.
"Cállate, idiota*." Was Lovino's reply before he took a drink and sighed deeply. You badly wanted to ask Lovino about his dancing, after hearing about it from two people now. After desert, you all moved into the front room and played some party games.
"Okay, my turn." Gilbert said as he crossed his legs on the floor and thought. After a few moments, a smirk came to his lips. "This is for those not in a relationship, here. Never have I ever kissed a member of the same sex." For a moment, you all looked around the room before yourself and Antonio took a drink. You both looked at each other with wide eyes as you swallowed your drinks and laughed.
"What? Spill the beans, both of you!" Alfred said as he nudged your knee with his foot, making you laugh.
"It was someone in college when we were drunk. It was a dare, nothing serious." You told them as you shrugged and took another drink, waiting to hear from Antonio.
"Well, mine is the same, really. Me and the guy were both drunk." Was all he said, you all nodded and Alfred cleared his throat before he spoke.
"Never have I ever wanted to kiss someone in this room." He asked, those who were in relationships all took a drink, leaving the rest of you looking around. With a sigh, you raised your glass to your lips, making the others gasp. "Who?"
"Come on, it's obviously me!" Gilbert announced as he wrapped one arm around your shoulder and laughed along with you.
"I won't tell! Okay, my turn... never have I ever... pictured anybody in this room naked." You said, most of the men laughed and everybody took a drink, which took you by surprise. You turned to look at Lovino when he took a drink, however he was looking down at the floor and his cheeks were a bright red. You couldn't help but smile as you watched him for a while, his eyes didn't leave the floor and his cheeks remained the dark shade of red for a while, until somebody had suggested a new game altogether. When you heard a laugh, you looked over at Feliciano as he now sat in Ludwig's lap and the German kissed his boyfriends neck. You finished your wine and smiled to yourself as you gently kicked Lovino on the knee.
"What the... oh." He said when he saw you smiling to him. He nodded and you both stood from the floor and walked outside. The night air was slightly cold and it looked as though it was about to rain. As you stood and lit a cigarette, Lovino returned from the kitchen and handed you a glass of wine. "Thanks for getting me out of there. I have to look at my idiot brother making out with his bigger idiot boyfriend most of the time." You simply smiles and shook your head as you took a drink from your wine and he blew out a large cloud of smoke.
"It's always awkward being in a room filled with couples. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one in there. Hey, maybe we should try to hook up Gilbert and Antonio?" When you said this, you turned to look at Lovino in surprise when he laughed a little. His laugh was different to how you would have expected it to be: it was deeper than you would have thought. You looked up at the sky and smiled when you looked at one star in particular.
"Something tells me Gilbert isn't Antonio's type." Lovino replied with a small smile, you laughed as you nodded and took another drink. "If he was tanned and had dark hair I could maybe imagine it working."
"So, the complete opposite of Gilbert, then?" You asked, making both of you laugh. After a while you were both stood in a silence that was slowly becoming uncomfortable.
"Hey, I... can I ask you something?" When Lovino finally spoke again, you turned to look at him and nodded with a smile. "I was wandering if...maybe...I could visit you at work again sometime?" You had to admit it but for a moment you thought Lovino was going to ask you something else. However when he did ask you this, you simply smiled and nodded.
"That would be nice." Was all you said before you finished your wine. Lovino nodded as he looked up at the sky, though as you watched him you noticed a small smile on his face. Soon there was a large crack of thunder and rain started to fall from the sky, making you scream and Lovino groan. As you both ran inside and stopped in the kitchen to watch the rain falling, you laughed when you noticed how wet Lovino was.
"Damn shit weather." Was all he said as he looked down at his shirt and sighed at how wet it was. When he noticed you laughing, he smirked a little before he ran one hand through his hair and flicked his fingers at you, causing small droplets of water to hit you.
"Oh, is it raining? Lovino! Look at you, you're soaking wet!" Antonio said as he walked into the kitchen with Gilbert behind him. You laughed as Gilbert sat in a chair and pulled you into his lap, resting his cheek against the back of your shoulder as he yawned.
"It's a make out session in there, I'd stay away if I were you." He told you, you groaned and nodded as you turned to look at Lovino, however he was looking back outside at the rain.
"Are you staying here tonight?" Antonio asked you, smiling when you nodded. When he noticed you do this, Gilbert laughed and tightened his arms around your waist, making you sigh and shake your head.
"All right! Sleepover in (name's) room! Shotgun on sleeping in the bed." Gilbert teased as he gently tickled your sides, laughing when you laughed and kicked your legs. Antonio simply sighed and turned to look at Lovino, he asked him something, to which Lovino nodded. "We're heading out. Will you be okay with the love nest next door?" You stood from his lap and laughed as you nodded.
"I think so. Drive safely, guys!" You said as you hugged Gilbert and Antonio and kissed both of their cheeks. When it came to Lovino, you hesitated for a moment before you hugged him quickly before stepping back and smiling to him. Although it was a short hug, you felt his body tense as soon as your hands touched him and his face was now a dark red. When you waved to the three men and attempted to say goodnight to the others, you climbed into bed with a cup of tea and picked up your book. After a while, you heard your phone ringing from the bedside table, when you loaded it you were a little confused to see a number you didn't recognise, however the message itself made you smile:
Hi (name), I wanted to tell you me and Antonio got home safe, after you told him to let you know. I also wanted to say it was nice to get to know you a little better tonight. Lovino
~~~1 Month Later~~~
"Thank you! Please visit again!" You said, faking a cheerful voice as you smiled and waved to the last customer as they closed the door. Once it was closed, you sighed in relief and locked the door, forgetting to turn the sign from 'Open' to 'Closed' before you started to clear away plates and cups used that day. It was when you were almost half way through the mountain of dishes when you heard a loud bang which made you jump.
"Owch! Figlio di puttana**!" You heard somebody exclaim from outside, when you looked at the door you gasped when you saw Lovino standing outside with one hand on his head and an even more annoyed expression than usual. When you ran and unlocked the door, you put one hand over your mouth as you let him inside.
"Are you okay? Can I get you some ice for your head?" You asked as you locked the door again and quickly ran back behind the counter to look for something frozen. Lovino sat down at a table and shook his head.
"Really, it's fine." He said, you nodded and sighed once again. "Can... can I ask you something? Sit down." You thought this was a little odd, however you nodded and sat beside him. He looked down at the table and remained silent. That was until you took hold of his wrist and moved his hand away from his head to take a look at it.
"I can't see any sign of bruising. It might just be a little sore for a few days." You told him, he simply nodded before he dropped his arm to his lap and sighed deeply. "Right, what was it you wanted to ask me?" Lovino nodded and cleared his throat before he spoke, you noticed a small blush on his cheeks.
"Right... I was wandering if... sometime you wanted to go to dinner? Just... just us. You can say no if you want, I won't be offended." He asked, you felt a little shocked when he asked you, but also a little pleased. You smiled a little and nodded.
"Yeah, I think that would be nice!" You replied as your smile grew. When you answered Lovino turned to look at you with wide eyes and the blush on his cheeks turned a deeper shade of red as he slowly nodded. "How does next week sound for you?"
"Y-yeah, that sounds good." He replied with a small smile on his face. After a few moments of silence, he groaned and you turned to look at him to find his hand was on his head once again. "Actually, I think I will take that ice, please." With a small laugh and a smile, you nodded as you stood from your seat and found some ice for his head.
