A/N: So this chapter will summarize everything, but the next few chapters will go into the details. Since that is how this is, this chapter is super short. However, this will all be closed with an epilogue. Enjoy~!
Antonio POV
I risk a look at Feliciano, who is staring right at me. Is…is he…smirking at me?! I didn't realize that he even could smirk!
Wait.
Feliciano knew about this the whole time?!
Lovi's voice pulls me back to him. "Wow…Feli wasn't exaggerating that there's a lot of you…Holy shit. I was only expecting a few people, heh. Well, this will be awkward…" He rubs the back of his neck. "Well, I never died. I faked my death."
"Why?!" A voice from the back cuts out, who I instantly recognize as England. "You do realize that there was a huge amount of people who were impacted by this, right?"
Lovino narrows his eyes at him. "Eyebrows, there is only one person who I really need to explain the full story to, and you are not him. Nor do I want to explain everything to the whole fucking world. Despite that, I didn't realize that it would affect this many people. And if I caused an inconvenience, I'm sorry."
Did Lovi just apologize? Well then…
"There is one reason that I will disclose with you all. This was a test, for someone here."
Suddenly, I am lifted from my seat and brought up next to Lovi. I look at the two next to me. "You guys KNEW?! " I all but scream at Gilbert and Francis.
"Oui. But we also knew the reason he did all this." Francis says to me.
I look at both of them. "That was such an asshole move, you guys! Not cool!"
Lovi looks at me. "They wanted to stop it. But I told them that they had to keep you alive until the funeral." He inhales. "As I said, this was a test. A test for Antonio. And you passed it."
I look at him, beginning to notice the lack of swearing. "Wh-wh-what?" Is all I can manage to get out.
He sighs and pulls out a box. "Just before you ask, this whole, faking my death thing was all Feli's idea. This, however," he says as he opens the box, revealing a golden band, "was my idea."
I stare at the box, totally confused. "What?" I say again.
Lovino rolls his eyes. "Goddammit bastard! Will you marry me?" He says, his face oh so very red.
I stare at him. "This…this was all just an elaborate proposal?!" I say, shocked.
He nods. "Yeah…I guess it really was. Now will you answer me?"
I take the box from his hand and pull him into a tight hug. I hold him so close. "Lovi, I could never live my life without you. I realize that now. So my answer is yes!"
The room is silent for a second before the room erupts in applause.
Suddenly a pair of arms go around me and Lovi. "Group hug!" Feli screams. Soon enough, almost the whole world is hugging everyone. It really was the happiest funeral I had ever been too.
It was truly the thing I had never expected on the day I had hoped would never come.
Soon, everyone leaves the little church but me and Lovi. I glance at him, smiling. "So, Lovi, what was this 'test'?" I ask, happy that he's alive, but still unhappy that he pulled such a mean test.
He sighs. "Well…after…after our fight, I went back to Feli's house, thinking he was with the potato bastard. I was actually fully intent on killing myself that night, however Feli walked into the bathroom right before I could do anything. After I talked to him for a bit, cause we both know that little shit wouldn't have let me off with just saying it's nothing. Anyway, after I talked to him, he suggested to test you." He rubs the back of his neck. "Heh, I was actually planning on proposing the night we were fighting…it was our anniversary, after all."
I hit him in the shoulder with mine. "I really am sorry about everything I said, you know. I didn't mean any of it. Not a single word of it. I still love you, and when I thought you died…" I decided not to tell him about trying to kill myself and seeing his 'spirit'.
He looks at me. "I know, and I do forgive you, Tonio. I do. A I know how you were when I was 'dead'. I stayed in the house, but France and Prussia had to pretend to not see me the whole time."
I nod my head. Then it hits me. "Wait. So you were…so every time I thought I…wait, you saw me…?" So many unanswered questions I just couldn't formulate.
"Yes, you big dummy." He smacks me on the back of my head. "And dammit, Antonio, if you try to hurt yourself like that again, I will leave you. I don't want to see you like that again, you wouldn't believe how hard it was to just stand by and watch you suffer, to not be able to go up to you and wipe off all the make-up and say that I'm still here, I'm still alive."
I lay my head on his shoulder. "Then don't leave me. And please don't do that again. I don't think I can take it."
He laughs slightly. "I won't. I promise, tomato bastard."
A thought hits me. "Hey, Lovi, who all knew about this?"
He shrugs. "Not many, actually. Prussia and France, obviously. Feli knew cause it was all his idea and he told the damned potato."
I nod. "Wait, Germany knew?!"
He laughs slightly. "Not to my pleasure. But, he and Feli are so close, that Feliciano would have spilled eventually." He stands. "Come on, let's go."
I smile at him. "Yeah."
Just before I leave the building, a hand stops me. I turn to see Feliciano there. "Fe-Feli! I thought you left with Germany."
He shrugs. "I told Luddy I would catch up with him after I talk to you."
I brace myself. I knew this conversation would be coming, hence why I successfully avoided him for a month. Feli looks up at me, his usually humorous and warm eyes very cold. "If you do that to Fratello again, I will hurt you. This was a warning, big brother Toni. I don't like thinking about what could have happened if I wasn't happened that night. Don't push him that far again." He suddenly thinks of something and smiles. "Oh! And Fratello doesn't need to know about this either." He waves at me before leaving. "Ciao~!"
I laugh nervously as I watch the small Italian walk down the stairs. When I sit next to Lovi in the car he turns to me. "What did my brother say?" He asks me.
"Heeeeeh, it was nothing. Just congratulating us." I turn to him and smile, starting the car. "Let's go home."
A/N: Well, that was actually a lot longer than I had thought. Heh. Anyway, the next two chapters will be from the Italian's POV. It just lets you get a more detailed view of everything.
And I really do think that Feli would flip out on someone if they hurt Lovi. They are brothers.
I write lame proposals…..
Anyway, tell me what you guys thought and such! Bye!
