It was a chilly evening in fall. A current of air blew onto the face of a young man as he trotted alone down the uneven sidewalk in the abandoned park. Crunch, crunch, crunch..The colorful leaves dissolved under the crushing weight of the man's tiny feet. It was late at night and most civilians were sound a sleep, and comfy in their beds. Swish, swish the trees formed shady claws that seem to stretch forward, ready to grad innocent victims who dare walk under them. He shivered at the chilly breeze and pulled his light jacket tighter around him . The man had been in the States for three years but still wasn't used to the chilly climate compared to his homeland's warm one. From the distance from where he stood one could see the dim lights of traffic lights, post lamps, and car lights and those who were still awake hurried to their homes, families, or whatever business they had. It was a dangerous part of town he was in so the young man took swift pace towards his destination. Few times did Feliciano Vargas walk without at least one of his grandfather's men guarding him, but today was a different story since he had asked to be left alone today. Actually he just visited his last bodyguard who had taken a bullet for him last week and was now in the hospital. While he had visited the injured man he gave his thanks for the loyalty the other man had displayed to him and his family in the mafia. He really regretted his choice now being in such a remote part of town and so late at night without protection of any kind. Sure it was the shortest way home, but not the safest now that he thought about it more carefully. He also refused to carry a weapon and since he was so awful at using them it wouldn't have made much of a difference if he did.

"Ve~ I shouldn't have asked for this to be in private! Now I am alone in this dark, and scary place by myself so late at night. Grandfather and Romano are going to wonder where I am, and what took me so long to get back!" thought the young man as he speed walked home.

Being lost in his thoughts Feliciano didn't noticed the dark silhouette that shadowed him and when he did it was too late. He felt someone grabbed his arm violently all of a sudden. He lost his breath for a figure had kneed him in the stomach not giving him a chance to struggle and run away. Distressed tears started to rush down his face as he cringed at the unexpected throbbing pain he felt in his abdominal.

"Kid gimme all the money you have on you if you don't want a knife down your throat." The man threaten in a serious tone.

"Ve~ I don't have any money I can give you! Please let me go! HELP!" He yelled hoping for someone to come to his rescue.

"SHUT UP YOU FUCK FACE!" Boomed the man as he used the hand that held a switch blade rest on his throat. If Feliciano felt panicked before then right now he was absolutely frighten as he felt the cold metal tip teasingly. He turn his head ever so slightly to look at the man behind him who was about the same size as him. He had a little facial hair on his chin and dark black hair. He look at least in his late thirties and carried a scar just above his eyebrow. He smelled of cheap aftershave and whiskey. To top it off he was unattractive.

"I don't think that true kid, in fact by look at the quality of the clothing your wearing I can tell your loaded" The man said with impatience clear on his face and tone

Feliciano felt hands go in to his jacket pockets and turned inside out. And like he claimed before the robber found no money on him. Usually he did carry a few hundred but today left his wallet at home or else he would have taken a cab home or call for someone to pick him up from the a brief visit to the hospital. Sadly his cellphone was dead since he forgot to charge it last night like his brother told him to.

"Looks like you weren't lying kid." The man growled "but you have this nice looking cellphone and clothing, that just as good so I want you to strip the clothing!

"B-but it's cold outside and I'll get sick!"

"Like I care kid! Do it or I'll cut the fabric and maybe nip you in the process and we don't want that do we." He said with annoyance

Feliciano rather walk home naked and get arrested by the police in the process instead of the police finding his cold dead body on the sidewalk in the morning. He started to take off his shirt after dropping his jacket to the sidewalk and with his back still turned to the man when he a yelp and heard some shuffling. He turned around to see what was happening. He regretted it the moment he saw a tall and build guy hold the man that was just robbing him a foot in the air with arm and his other one ready to pack another punch to the mans already bloody face. The punch he gave the man was so powerful that even Feliciano felt sorry for the man, knowing that would hurt when the robber regain consciousness in the morning or whenever he woke up... The blond man let the body drop to the ground like a toy a child lost interest in would let fall from their hands. His glare locked now on Feliciano although not as menacing as the look he had given the man now at his feet. He lifted a foot to walk over the body towards Feliciano who only stared in wasn't sure he should thank the man for saving him or run away because he was really intimidating looking. Of course he could never be sure this guy wouldn't hurt him either so he did what he thought was the best thing to do at the moment .

"AH PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" He put his hands in front of himself he wailed

"V-wait don't be scared I not going to harm you!"

"PLEASE I DON'T HAVE MONEY"

"N-nein I don't-"

"AH I SWEAR PLEA-"

"OH SHUT THE HELL UP!" Feliciano creased his screams to look up. He was truly petrified by the deep booming voice of the blond more then he had been of the man who was robbing him a short while ago.

"I not going to hurt you and I just wanted to see if your alright and that if that scumbag didn't do too much damage"

Realizing the taller of men wasn't about to hurt him, he started calm down and smiled

"Ve~, oh that a relief I thought you were about to beat the pasta outta of me like you did to that guy! Anyway thanks for the help!"

"No problem but you shouldn't be walking this late at night by yourself in the future."

"Ah, yes I don't usually, it's just that I had someone I went to visit and lost track of time and was hurrying home when that guy got me from behind!" Feliciano admitted sheepishly.

"Vell you should get home now since you said you were in such a hurry. It's late I repeat"

"VE~ oh dio mio! my nonno and fratello are going to be so worried, molte grazie!" He yelled and threw his arms around the blond before saying "Ciao, I hope we meet again!"

The blond could only blush at the sudden skin contact and uttered "Ja, bye"

Feliciano ran at top speed hoping he get home soon and tell his family about this misadventure and the man who saved him

The blonde man just thought to himself "What a peculiar, man " as he looked for an apartment he could live in.

"Where the fuck were you asshole? Do you know what fuckin time it is?" A man asked as he sat in the couch with a pistol he in his hand

"Vee~ ciao to you too Romano" Feliciano chirped a little frighten until he realized it was his sibling

"Don't ciao me you little bitch! You were suppose to be home hours ago, what happened?"

"Ohh I almost forgot, I left me wallet home and I had to walk home from the hospital and I the way home I was getting robbed when some g-"

"How many times have I -no how many times has anyone told you to have your cellphones at all times! Even 10 years old know this idiota!" Lovino continued to screech at his younger sibling

"I'm sorry" Feliciano whispered. He really was, but he could never seem to remember the simplest of tasks sometimes since he was always getting distracted.

"Wait a minute you were getting robbed, and how the fuck you get outta of that alive? Did he have any weapons?" Lovino said trying to change the subject that was clearly upsetting his younger sibling.

"Well you see I had no money, so the guy was telling me to strip because my clothing was worth a good price or something like that and si he had a knife.. .. But as I was striping I hear these sound behind me. I turn around and I see this really big muscle guy beating up the other guy! At first i was really scared thinking he wanted to hurt me too, but it turned out he was just really scary looking and was asking if I was alright. Ve~ he was really cool you should have seen him!"

"Like I care about him but at least your still alive for now..."

"Ve don't be so mean fratello." He whined "Wheres nonno?"

"He and some guys are out looking for you bastard, I'm going to call him and tell him your still in one piece." Also do you know what this guy looked like? The one robbing you not that other guy saving you skinny ass!

"Oh" Feliciano frowned a little "Hey can't we let it go, he didn't know who I was and I don't think it was that big of a deal.

"Fuck no, we can't let scum like that get away with shit like this or else our name will be ruined!"

"But he was already been beaten up pretty good. He was bleeding and unconscious when I left, isn't that enough?"

His older brother pouted "Hmmm he sounds taken care of... Fine I'll let it slide since you claim he had for all he's worth"

"Yay grazie! I'm going to be bed now since its late" He yawned.

"Okay, well I'm going to sleep after calling the old bastard! I need to get up early tomorrow since we have a meeting with Antonio, and you've kept me up you know, you selfish bastard."

"Vee~ you and him get along pretty well, don't you?"

"What the fuck don't talk bull shit I hate that tomato bastard!"

Feliciano giggled he knew that his brother admired his Spanish friend, but was much too proud to admit it. He climbed up the stairs to get to his room as he heard the faint sound of his brother's voice talking into his cellphone. No doubt he calling their nonno to ensure him he was fine. As he crawled into bed and his head hit the pillow his last thoughts were about the mysterious blond man...
