Author's Note.

Hello all and thank you for clicking! Roxi2Star here for the Sequel to "Into The Woods". If you haven't read that, you should before stating this! Secondly, I lead this project while the lovely Lady-Pyrien served as editor and moral support! Honestly, I wouldn't have wrote this as quickly as I did without her listening to all my crazy schemes! So thank you Lady-Pyrien!

Now, this story is very different from it's first. Into the Woods was a romantic comedy romp through fairy tale land. This, is not. This gets dark and will have tiger warnings per chapter. I really want to stress that this is almost nothing like the first part. Things take dark turns and bad things happen. But the good news is, the story is already written in it's entirety so we won't have any hiatus! Now go read, be sure to review as it does help and gives us feedback which is helpful! Enjoy!

Lovino was happier than he ever remembered being. He woke up encased in soft warm arms wrapped around his waist, his back pressed into a warm broad chest. The sheets beneath him were soft and cool. He turned to face his lover, pressing his lips to his cheek. Bright green eyes narrowed in a gentle smile. Soft brown hair gently tickling Lovino's nose.

"Good morning Princess." Antonio breathed before pressing a kiss to him. "Sleep well?"

"Like a god damn baby." Lovino said pressing closer for another kiss. "I worked up a sweat before bed so that probably helped."

"I'll be sure to make you work like that every night." Antonio said with a sharped toothed smirk. "Speaking of..."

"Oi." Dimas opened the bedroom door shooting both of them a glare. "No. These walls are paper thin and I will not have you too fucking, ruin my day." He slammed the door, before opening again. "And put some damn clothes on, we have to go to the market today."

"Ugh... You're brother is an asshole." Lovino whined. "I wanna stay home and fuck."

"Mm... Sounds great, but he has a point. We're running out of food. We can always fuck when we get back-"

"I know we live in Love Town, but that doesn't mean you too get to fuck all the damn time. It's the goddamn first chapter of the sequel. It's too fucking soon." Dimas shouted.

Antonio chuckles and hops out of bed, and started to get dressed, being careful of his wolf tail. He tossed his long coat on to hide it from sight and grabbed his hair to hide his wolf ears. Lovino dressed in a flowy white shirt, shorts, knee socks and a bright red hood. He placed his glass slippers on his feet and willed himself to stay visible.

"Toni, you should wear your ring." Lovino said grabbing it.

"Nah. I can't smell which tomatoes are best then." Antonio said.

"But-"

"But nothing, it'll be fine. No one has ever been able to figure out I'm a wolf. and they won't ever." He said with a grin

"Fine." Lovino pouted a bit before putting his comb in his hair.

"You're one to talk by the way. Wearing shoes where you might go invisible. A poisoned comb." Antonio gently wrapped his arms around from behind. "So wreckless."

"Goof." Lovino said after a moment and turned to face him, wrapping his arms around his neck. "Let's go get some food." Antonio grinned and they left for market.

It had been about six months since their affair at the Hero's Tomb. Where they had been given tools to better the world. However, they have yet to do so. They decided to take a break from adventures and just have time to live and be happy. They settled for a small apartment in Love Town. Dimas moved in, finding it hard to be in their home village without any family. The three had been living happily, with Francis and Arthur occasionally stopping by.

Antonio had begun to work with Francis, his churros being a top seller in the bakery. Lovino was starting to consider starting up a restaurant in town for those who seek romance. Dimas had gotten a job at a casino, he fit right in. They were happy. Mostly.

Dimas couldn't help but notice how cute Lovino was. Even today he was too cute. His little glass heels that made his ass stick out a bit. His long legs covered by cute high socks that ended and drew attention to his thighs, His ass. Oh his ass... They way his hips curved, his chest... his neck, and those pouty lips that were just so delicious. Shiny auburn brown hair that framed his face and of course... His golden eyes that shined when he looked at Antonio. It make Dimas burn inside.

When Dimas watched them give each other loving kisses, it made him ill. Hearing them at night... He couldn't help the dark desires burning inside him. To barge in and rip Antonio off him and love Lovino himself.

But he couldn't do that. That would make him no better than Sadiq.

Instead he dealt with it like an adult; burying his feelings by sleeping with a lot of strangers. As any good brother would.

Their appartment was a small place tucked between a flower shop and a jewelry store, of which Antonio often shopped in to shower Lovino with gifts. Like the gold locket laying around his neck and small diamond earrings Lovino had gotten his ears pierced just to wear. Antonio even bought so many roses, they had a glass bowl in the house where Lovino would cut the dying flower off and save it dried.

The street was lively and jovial as always. Love Town was the town where a prince woke Snow White from death, and with their love being so strong it blessed the land making it the place where everyone falls in love. Even if you fall in love with someone who doesn't love you, apparently.

Antonio and Lovino walked in front, chatting lightly holding hands. Dimas walked behind and tried to listen in on the townsfolk, desperately trying to avoid looking at the happy couple.

"The tax on sugar was raised again." Dimas overheard.

"Again? that's the third time this year!"

They crossed the street, as more people filled his ears.

"I think we should get married!"

"Can you believe he lost all his money in one game? That's the last he'll gamble I bet."

"I heard news that Trolls have occupied another town in the north. I have a cousin up there."

"What is the queen even doing?"

"Who knows... she's gone mad some say."

"I heard Gavin was arrested yesterday. Said his garlic allergy made him a vampire. Could you imagine Gavin with fangs?"

"That'll be 2 coins!"

They had entered the market now. Vendors selling food, flowers, art and many other things were set up shouting and selling their goods. Colors and smells were every way, it was enough to make a wolf get a little over stimulated.

"I'm gonna go get a newspaper and pick up some stuff for work. You two can handle food shopping right?" Dimas asked

"Mhmm. we got it! We'll see you at home ok?" Antonio said.

"Yeah. Careful." Dimas said before finding his way to a news stand. He glanced at the front page and gave a heavy sigh. It read in bold letters;

Queen has finally made the capture and imprisonment of any non human sentient legal.

Today our Queen has made it legal to be imprisoned if you are a non human. Hunters have been let loose in all major cities and woods to hunt down the vermin and lock them up. Most will be headed to Mermaid Island Prison to rot.

Dimas couldn't read it anymore. He and Antonio were going to have to be a lot more careful.

Meanwhile, Lovino grabbed a basket and dragged Antonio to the first stand. He picked out few zucchini, eggplants and squash. Antonio gently sniffed a few tomatoes putting the ones he deemed to be the best in the basket.

"Are you making a big dinner again Lovino?" The shop owner, Eduard asked. "I hope you invite Toris, Raivis and myself next time, your food is very tasty."

"Not this time." Lovino said. "This is a dinner for Antonio and me. But I'll have Dimas bring you guys left overs if we have any."

"A romantic dinner?" Eduard asked.

"Mhmm~ It's a special occasion." Antonio whispered "I'm gonna ask Lovi to marry 'll really surprise him."

"It's not a surprise if I know about it." Lovino said with a chuckle.

"Who said that was the surprise? Maybe it's a clever ploy to really surprise you~" Antonio said and kissed his cheek, his tail wagging under his jacket gently. A woman glanced at Antonio and raised a brow.

"WOLF!" A woman screamed. Dimas turned to look. Antonio's hat had been torn off his head. People screamed. And guards crowded him in seconds. Lovino tossed off to the side, hitting the ground. Dimas rushed to his side picking him up.

"Antonio!" Lovino yelled.

"We can't help him right now." Dimas said quietly. "We'll break him out later. Doing anything now will only get us in trouble too."

Lovino whimpered, reaching out in vain catching Antonio's eye as he was dragged off. He mouthed to Lovino.

I love you.
