*Author's note- I don't own Hetalia. So… hey guys, I bet you are wondering where the hell I've been well I've been letting senior year kick my ass and I've been roaming through different fandoms. Don't get me wrong I adore Hetalia but sometimes I need to branch out to things like Sterek, Snarry, and Drarry.

Warnings: Some gay bashing and general douchebagary (that I do not support; obviously or I wouldn't be writing a fic that's boyXboy.) And as expected; a warning for Lovi's awful potty mouth. Oh and some RussCan and GerIta. And a hint of UsUk, SuFin, DenNor, HongIce, ScoFra,PruAst, and GiriPan. There might also be some smut. ;)

But anyways you guys probably want to get on with the story.*

Chapter Sixteen

~oOoOOoOo~

"These are the eyes and the lies of the taken, these are their hearts but their hearts don't beat like ours, they burn 'cause they are all afraid, when mine beats twice as hard, 'cause the world is ugly, but you're beautiful to me, are you thinking of me, like I'm thinking of you, I would say I'm sorry, though, though I really need to go, I just wanted you to know, that the world is ugly, but you're beautiful to me, are you thinking of me, stop your crying, helpless feeling, dry your eyes and start believing, there's one thing they'll never take from you"

Alfred stared at the word carelessly scratched into the locker door. He couldn't believe someone would actually be cruel enough to scratch the word 'Faggot' into some ones locker, let alone Artie's locker.

Arthur's lip quivered, scrunching his face up he attempted to keep himself from crying. Alfred didn't know what to say; he knew that when word of there relationship got around it would bring about some nasty attention, but never this much.

"This is perfect, next thing you know we're going to be beaten to death." Hearing Arthur's whisper broke Alfred's heart. "It's gonna be okay, we still have each other and our friends." Alfred said wrapping his arms around smaller boyfriend.

Arthur stood stiffly in Alfred's arms, "Don't you see Alfred? It's only a matter of time before things escalate. And please don't say you're happy listening to the verbal abuse that's going to come." Alfred held onto him tighter as he tried to escape. "I really don't care what they say to me, but if they say anything to you I'll kick the crap outta them, 'cause you're my boyfriend and that's all that matters." Alfred reassured him, not willing to loose his boyfriend because of something so stupid.

"How can you say that? God I don't even understand why you want me in the first place." Arthur asked, not looking at Alfred. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, Artie you are so amazing, I really can't imagine being with anyone else." Alfred put his hand to Arthur's cheek.

"So, can you please look at me with those big beautiful green eyes?" Reluctantly Arthur looked up to see Alfred's dopey grin. "There we are," Arthur's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, he couldn't believe how ridiculous he had been about something so stupid.

"Now whatdya' say we go meet up with Mattie and that Commie and go watch a movie?" Arthur scowled at Alfred's nickname for his brother's boyfriend. "Fine, but you really need to stop calling him that, it's rude and disrespectful." Alfred rolled his eyes but nodded.

"Let's go, maybe we can even see the new horror movie and I can totally protect you from the scary parts!" Arthur chuckled at Alfred's enthusiasm even though he knew that when something even remotely scary popped up Alfred would be hiding behind him.

"Okay let's go my knight in shining armor." Arthur said taking Alfred's hand and walking away from the locker.

~oOoOo~

Lovino hummed as he placed the lasagna noodles in the bottom of the pan. Dancing a bit he moved onto stirring the sauce; how he loved to make lasagna or really any other thing with tomatoes.

He was so caught up in his work that he never even noticed that someone was watching his ministrations. "Wow, those are some nice dance moves. I mean they may even be better than at the club." The voice got his attention and made him drop the wooden spoon he had been using to stir.

"What are you doing here?" Lovino asked trying to keep his voice calm and cold. "Well Lovi," Antonio said moving from the door way towards Lovino. "I was invited by your gracious nonno, so here I am." Antonio was so close now that the Italian could feel the breath on his neck.

"Get away from me you creep!" Lovino growled as he defensively waved the dish towel to the side of him as if he could banish the Spaniard by doing that. "But Lovi, I'm just watching you use that amazing talent for cooking you have." Antonio purred seductively.

Lovino fought down the shiver Antonio's voice had produced. "Go sit down or some shit, I don't need your creepy ass hanging out in here while I'm trying to get dinner done." Lovino hissed hoping Antonio would listen for once and leave him be.

"But I want to watch you cook, please Lovi…" Antonio knew what he was doing to Lovino, and each response further encouraged him to flirt. "Whatever, I don't even know why you're here, but fine do what you want." The small Italian said in a way he hoped was dismissively.

Antonio smirked, even when Lovi acted like he didn't care it showed just how much he really did care. "Thanks Lovi," Antonio sing-songed.

Lovino's grandfather watched from the kitchen doorway, enjoying how well his plan was going. It really wasn't that complicated of a plan; Feli was over to his boyfriend's for the night and he was going to leave for the night in couple of minutes, his precious grandson and the boy who thought the world of him would be alone for the night.

Hopefully their issues would be sorted out by the end of the night. If not then he would just have to knock some sense into his stubborn grandson.

~o0o~

"Did you hear about what someone scratched on eyebrow's locker?" Matthias asked as he plopped down on the couch. "What are you talking about dipshit?" Lukas growled at his boyfriend. "Didn't someone scratch the 'f' word on his locker?" Tino asked timidly from Berwald's arms.

The Dane nodded, and Lukas scowled. "Why would someone do that?" Emil frowned not really understanding. "Because, people found out he was dating the quarterback." Tino answered quietly, shifting his position; talking about how others were treated at school because of their relationships made him nervous about what would happen to them if people found out.

"Don't worry 'bout it. Even if people found out 'bout us, they wouldn't do anything, I'd beat the crap out of them if they did." Berwald whispered to his tense boyfriend. "I know, but it is still horrible that others are going through that in our school." Tino mumbled, letting his boyfriend comfort him.

"Maybe it's time to come out, I mean I don't know about you but I think we can take any idiot that tries to make fun of us." Matthias said wrapping an arm around Lukas. "Well, it might stop the bullying if people really knew how many gays there are in our school. Most of them only make fun of them to so they won't be made fun of themselves." Everyone stared at Lukas as actually agreed with Matthias.

"Well, alright I mean I guess it couldn't hurt to come out especially if we all come out together." Tino smiled thinking about how he could hold hands with Berwald if they were to come out. "Well, we'll come out on Monday then." Lukas said getting nods from everyone.

~0o0~

"That's Horrible! I can't believe they did that Alfie," Matthew whispered to his brother. Currently they were sitting in Matthew's room while Arthur was in the bathroom. "It was bad; he looked so downtrodden, like almost in tears. And it was all my fault I pushed him into coming out." Alfred felt horrible for causing his boyfriend so much grief.

"It's not your fault, it's who ever did it, and it's their fault. If I get my hands on the douchesnozzle who hurt Arthur like this then I'm going to shove my hockey stick so far up their asses they'll be tasting ice." Matthew threatened the air causing Alfred to chuckle.

"What in the bloody hell is going on in here?" Arthur asked as he entered the room. "Mattie was just showing how scary he can be with that commie stick of his." Alfred answered patting his lap for Arthur to sit there.

Arthur rolled his eyes before he sat down. Matthew chuckled before checking his phone. "Ivan says that he'll be here soon, he just has to drop Kat off at her friend's house." Alfred fist pumped. "Yes then we can go to that awesome movie!" Matthew and Arthur smiled at Alfred's enthusiasm.

Maybe today would be good after all.

~ooOooOoo~

Lovino and Antonio sat down at the table. Lovino was pissed his nonno had just conveniently left saying he had a date, this left the two of them to eat dinner together.

"This is really good lasagna, Lovi." Antonio complimented as he took another bite of the wonderful food. "Shut it and eat." Lovino muttered as his face flushed. Lovino couldn't believe his family had ditched him with Antonio.

Speaking of Antonio, Lovino had no idea how to fix things with him. Antonio confused him with his flirting, maybe he would use it against him but that didn't really seem like something Antonio would do. "Why are you here?" Lovino whispered pushing his food around with a fork.

"I wanted to see you, and to talk about what happened." Antonio held his hand up as Lovino was about to protest. "Can you not talk until I've said what I need to say, okay?" Lovino closed his mouth and nodded.

"Thanks, anyways I want you to know just how special you are to me. I've never felt this way about anyone else, I'm pretty sure that I love you." Lovino gasped at the words, making Antonio smile.

"The night we had sex, well that was hot as hell. You were hot as hell, and I'm pretty sure that you've ruined me for everyone else, 'cause no one can compare to you. But anyways, you are so special and amazing that I would be lucky to have you; you know if you want me that is." Antonio said taking Lovino's hand in his.

"Antonio, I don't really understand you. I mean you can have anyone, someone better and yet you choose me…" Lovino looked down at their hands and then back up at Antonio's smiling face. "But I guess we can try…" Lovino trailed off. Antonio stood up and led Lovino up to his bedroom.

Once inside the room Antonio had Lovino sit on the bed. "Now, we can make love in celebration of our new relationship." Antonio said as he pulled off his tee shirt, and began undoing his pants. Lovino gaped, not really believing how quickly things had progressed.

"Come on Lovi," Antonio whined tugging on Lovino's shirt, Lovino sighed and lifted his arms. With one swift move he had managed to get off that pesky shirt. Smirking Antonio took in the sight of Lovino's rosy little nipples. "You have the cutest nipples you know that?" Lovino flushed and lazily swiped at Antonio's chest.

"Shut up and kiss me you pervert." Lovino mumbled, the Spaniard growled before tackling Lovino back into the bed. The small Italian opened his mouth to allow Antonio's tongue entrance. The kiss was slow and needy. Eventually they broke for air and when they did Antonio latched onto Lovino's neck.

Lovino moaned under Antonio's ministration. "There, now everyone will know you're mine." Antonio said when saw the mark he had left. Pushing Lovino further back on the bed Antonio quickly stripped Lovino of the rest of his clothing and began teasing his Lovi's body all over. He continued to do so until Lovino was begging him to hurry up and fuck him and that just what he did. Unlike the last time they had sex it was slow and sweet.

Eventually both reached completion harder than they ever had. When Antonio pulled out of Lovino he wrapped his arms around Lovino and held him close. Both fell asleep in a relative peace after the exchanging of 'I love you' and that's exactly how Lovino's family found them in the morning.

~oooOooo~

*Author's note- So that was a nice short little chapter I hope you enjoyed it. So Lovi and Toni are together but that doesn't mean the story's over so keep reading. On to the reviews:

angelgirl 158- Flailing, huh? Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.

Spamano4ever- Well I do have to have a bully and Carlos sad to say makes any amazing bully. And you know Antonio he is always jumping head first into situations. Also grandpa Rome is indeed a tricky old man.

Wolfen Artist of Hetalia- I hope I didn't make you wait for too long.

Spamanosauce- I too love it when Rome get's protective of his grandbabies.

BlondeHedgehogWithaGun- Glad that you liked the chapter, hope you liked this one too.

Valkyrie99- Grandpa Rome is always devious. Sadiq had to see the light I like my villains to have layers and most of the time be redeemable. Thanks for reading!

True Blue Chan- My story is adorable? Thank you! I'm glad I got you hooked it's an awesome pairing. Also I try really hard to add layers without making them Oc or the story off topic. Lovi is always adorable. And sometimes I feel like grandpa Rome is over looked so I wanted to play him up.

RileyRiot- I'm glad you were willing to read this story even if you don't like the pairings. *Hugs you right back* you give me cookies, roses and skittles oh my, so sweet. Thank you for all the praise it makes me glad to be an author really. Hope to see you review again. ^.^

Ironicsheep- Two fabulous points? Yes a couple more and I can level up!

Ljusalfheim- Sorry the chapter was so short, I tend to do that to keep my readers on their toes. ;)

Littlewolfwindspeaker- The Roman empire always be trollin' lol.

BeeBee Forthwright- Awww yes!

xKireyy- Sorry I made you tired. Thank you for complimenting my writing style. Glad you think my story is the best. This review made me blush!

Shadowstar8473- I hope you review again. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well. Really thank you!

black-misty-sky- I'm glad someone likes my RussCan. And of course Sadiq got his act together, he's a good guy. And yes we do have to love grandpa Rome.

Katt1848- You stayed up all night! I hope you were alright. Sadiq was never a true bigot, he was just scared.

Simplicity-Shitsuboku- Glad you like my word douchesnozzle.

801Fujoshi- I live for creating plot twists. Firstly Matthew is kind of forgettable so no one notices anything he does. Francis on the other hand is left alone because most of the students thinks Scott is scary (he has a tattoo making him seem dangerous to the other kids) The other couples as you can see are starting to come forward but it's hard, you know the old mentality that if you speak out you'll be picked on too? That's what they're feeling. I like Scotland x France because it's soo unexpected but kind of makes sense, I see them bonding of making fun of England. And Grandpa Rome is my comic relief.

PrussiasGirl- Sneaky indeed.

Guest- Lol Canuck, well I live in America and I hear Canadians referred to as that quite a bit. Sorry if it offends or something. Also thank you for thinking my story is engaging.

Vampchick2010- You know Sadiq always a hothead.

Roseflame44- Thank you for loving my story ^.^

Thanks for reviewing, they make my day. And when we hit 250 and 300 I shall be giving away a one shot to each the 250th reviewer and the 300th so review! I'll do any couple and any plot line. Maybe even a different fandom if I'm familiar with it. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for next time!
