Feliciano was deep in thought and didn't watch where he was going. He suddenly ran into something hard, and looked up to see the blonde German. Feliciano stared into the German's bright, incredibly blue eyes. Feliciano felt that if he stared long enough, Feliciano could lose himself in those deep, perfect shades of blue.
Feliciano realised he was staring, and quickly stared at his feet and his face turned a bright pink. "I.. I-I uh.. I'm s-sorry, I uh I d-didn't mean..." Feliciano stuttered, his face turning redder at each word.
The German seemed uncomfortable at first, but then looked to understand.

"No problem," the German said, staring into the little Italian's what seemed to be closed eyes.

Feliciano was uncertain of what to do next. He did not know if he should brush past, or linger to stare at the sight of the strong man. Feliciano made the decision to brush past the tall German, as Feliciano felt as the German was uncomfortable and well, not interested in guys.
Feliciano brushed past, delighted at the small contact he made with the German.

Ludwig remembered that brownish-red headed man from the day before. He heard a hint of an Italian accent in the small man's voice.
Ludwig was sad that he hadn't got the chance to ask of the Italian's name, but he thought that would be a little weird. After all, he was only ever friends with a stick. The stick didn't even have a name. Ludwig didn't have good social skills, which was evident because of the stick.
At the moment the Italian ran into Ludwig, Ludwig's heart sored. He was extremely glad Gilbert, his annoying older brother, wasn't there to witness it. Ludwig sighed and continued to wait for his brother to finish up using the bathroom.

.

Feliciano replayed the moments of the occurence over and over in his head. He was shocked and uncertain of what to think of what just happened.  He never felt like that around familiar women. He was delighted at the touch of the German and the more he thought about it, the more his stomach churned.
Feliciano decided he was hungry, after that atrocious "pasta" his brother made. Feliciano found the nearest resturaunt and walked in to greet the waitress.

"Ciao, bella!" Feliciano joyfully said.

The waitress smiled at Feliciano and seemed a little confused. She obviously didn't know a word of Italian. Feliciano suddenly wished he was back with his grandpa, Roma, in Italy.

"Table for one?" The waitress asked.

"Sí, er, I mean yes," Feliciano answered, remembering the her confusion.

"Right this way, sir," the waitress said as she herded Feliciano to a seat.

.

Feliciano was just finishing up his spaghetti when he saw a text from his brother. It read, "Feli come home right now, its urgent."

Feliciano waved down the waitress, paid for his meal, and left. Feliciano rarely got any word from Lovino while Lovino was at work. Especially this early, and from home.
The drive home didn't feel as long as yesterday's and seemed to breeze past. Feliciano pulled in the driveway to see his brother's car and an unfamiliar car parked on the street outside their house. Feliciano walked inside, a little confused. The instant Feliciano walked in, he was taken back to hear his brother arguing with someone else. Feliciano followed the heated voices to the living room to see his brother's face red and angry, glaring at a familiar man, shouting angrily. Feliciano almost immediately recognised the man as Antonio.
Lovino looked over to see Feliciano standing under the arched door frame with a worried expression painted on Feliciano's face. Lovino slowly relaxed and stopped yelling at the spaniard. That made Antonio look over and smile at the familiar face he hadn't seen in years.

"Was I... interrupting?" Feliciano asked, hoping he hadn't stopped an important discussion.

It took a while before either of them responded, which worried Feliciano that he actaully was interrupting. "No," Antonio finally said, smiling up at Feliciano. "It's good to see you again, Feliciano. It's been too long."
Feliciano smiled back and nodded. "Sí."
Lovino rolled his eyes an sighed. "Anyway, the reason I called you here Feliciano, was because this jerk bastard is trying to move in with us," Lovino said, getting more and more pissed by each word that came out while glaring at Antonio. Antonio seemed unphased by Lovino's  words, and continued to smile at Feliciano.

"Ooh, will you move in with us, Antonio? That'd be wonderful! Oh, will you Antonio?" Feliciano asked joyfully.

"Wh... what? No, wait.. that's, that's not what I.." Lovino answered Feliciano, confused as he expected Feliciano to take sides with him, Feliciano is his brother after all.

Antonio smiled, "See, Lovino, Feliciano doesn't mind. I don't see why you're so against me staying here."

Lovino blushed a little and looked away, breaking eye contact with Antonio. "This is your fault anyway, you tomato bastard. If you were more careful with your money you wouldn't be asking to stay here. That's why I'm so against it!"

Feliciano was confused at his brother's statement. Money? "Uh, if you dont mind me asking, why were you asking to move here in the first place?" Feliciano asked Antonio.

"Ah, well... I sort of increasingly became poor, mi amigo. I just couldn't afford rent anymore."

"Bullshit! You just spent it all on your stupid tomatoes!" Lovino yelled.

Antonio smiled and shook his head. He he didn't spend his money on tomatoes, but he knew he couldn't win an argument with Lovino. "So back to the real question, can I move in?"

"No!"
"Sí!"
Lovino and Feliciano said in sync. Feliciano and Lovino looked at each other. Lovino was angered and spoke up. "No, you can't live here! Why would we let-"
Lovino was interrupted by Feliciano. "Why not? He needs a home, doesn't he?"
Lovino shook his head and looked at Antonio, Lovino's eyes softened, and Lovino finally sighed. "Just because Feli said he's fine with it doesn't mean I am. Don't cause any trouble while you're here, and leave as soon as you can," Lovino gave in. He seemed to have actaully wanted Antonio to stay, but that could've been just Feliciano's imagination.
Antonio's eyes brightened. "Thank you," Antonio said, almost smiling to himself.

I got back ealier than expected, so that's why the chapter is out earlier. Next chapter comes out on the 16th.
