huffs, wanting to kick at the door as he stood outside. Gabriel probably forgot to arrange their whole...meeting. But now he's not so sure he wants to go inside...

doesn't realize that Lovino is outside. He's too busy murmuring things to the television because Rosalinda was not supposed to drink the stupid tea. Her aunt was trying to poison her!

stalking from afar! (aha!)

fists his hands for a moment, not noticing Gabriel, before managing to knock...or rather bang, on the door.

blinks, looking up, his cheeks bulging with ice cream. Hm. Maybe it was Gabriel. He forces himself to crawl off the couch to open the door. Oh. BT It was Lovi. "Que quieres?" He mumbles, though the question -

-is completely lost in all the ice cream still in his mouth.

didn't really understand the question, but that didn't matter. "Antonio, I'm coming inside, and you're going to listen to me, and we're going to sort this shit out. Capiche?"

closes the door in his face.

frowns, then makes sure he's still in Antonio's line of vision, raising a sign that reads "LET HIM IN, SUA BESTA!"

scowls at that, kicking the door. "Let me in, you asshole!"

stares at the sign for a second before he huffs and goes to open the door. "Please come in." He says before plopping back down on the couch. His hair is a mess and he looked like he hadn't done much cleaning-

-today.

quickly hides.

that was...a little too easy. What the hell? He follows him though, noting the state of Antonio and sitting next to him on the couch. "Look. We need to talk..." Oi.. "You were really...really surprised_

_and happy to see me last time we met. How long has it been since we saw each other before that?" He needed to know everything before spouting his theory.

draws his knees up, pulling his blanket up around him, hiding a bit. "Valentines day, and a few weeks after that." He said softly.

tries not to stare. Valentines day...but. February wasn't for another three months...he felt a little sick at that. "A-ah, si...what's the date again?"

blinks at him. "... November 1st?"

to throw up. "O-of what year...?" Oh Dio, no, no...fuck.

glares at him a little. "Lovino, I don't want to play this game anymore, okay? I get it."

trying very hard to hide how freaked out he is. "Antonio, just answer me...per favore. Do this one thing for me."

holds up another sign. "I SWEAR, WAIT FOR IT AND LISTEN, IRMÃOZINHO!"

looks up at his brother and he frowns deeply. He'd never frowned so much in his life and he was going to get stess lines and it was all their fault! "2012."

officially stressing. Running fingers through his hair, he looks away as if searching for something that will help him cope. "You better not be shitting me, I swear to fucking god, Antonio..." He's mostly _

_muttering under his breath, standing now and pacing a little. How the fuck could he be missing an entire year's worth of memories?

stands up, holding his blanket around himself still. "Why are you mad at me? I'm the one that's supposed to be mad at you for being a giant asshole!" See? SEE? He'd cursed. BT UGH.

doesn't like that tone, but still keeps watching them, like a guardian angel or whatever was his job nowadays.

didn't even fucking care about Antonio's freak out. Fuck, he...fuck! "Answer me this..." Because Antonio always /always/ kept up to date on both their news. "Did Earthquake L'Aquila really hit me? Tell me the _

_fucking truth Antonio, because I'm about to have a fucking heart attack right now."

stares at him. "Years ago, Lovi. What are you..." He facepalms, walking away from him. "I don't want to play anymore, Lovi. I really don't."

[Last friday, dude.]

[not years ago xDD]

( You're feeding me lies, woman. )

nah uh]

You are. It happened like years ago and idek anymore okay? ;; Just... go with it 'cause idk )

frowns at that. What... "Then.." But him home was still recovering from...they said it had been L'Aquila. L'Aquila, and then the floods they'd said...so they were lying? Or maybe Antonio just didn't care to_

_keep up with what happened to him anymore. Something must have happened in that one year he was missing...

- "Can you go now? Por favor?"

texts Antonio some news about L'Aquila, hoping he'll read and see it.

frowns. Maybe he does have some things to think over before he tries this again. "Si...Si, that's best." He was so confused.

picks up his 'phone, glancing at it briefly. What? He looks it over before he moves to grab Lovino's arm. "Espera."

to jerk away just to spite him. It wasn't fair that he was so fucking confused and Antonio was the one acting hurt. He did wait though, despite actually wanting to leave this time around. "Che?"

frowns at him and shoves the 'phone in Lovino's hand. "Don't act like this is all my fault. I thought you were playing games with me. I get it now, okay? You just don't remember.."

looks at Antonio like he's crazy, but glances at the phone and reads the notes. So it had been L'Aquila... "I remember telling you that I didn't remember." Anything. At all. "I lost a year." A whole fucking_

_year because of this piece of shit earthquake. He was trying to follow Gabriel's advice. The not swearing bit anyway. It was hard though...

crosses his arms and flips his brother a thumbs up before he departs. "Well, my work here is done..." he mutters, leaving.

let's go of him, looking like he would cry again, but maybe that was due to all the chocolate he'd had. Chocolate made him weepy after a certain amount. "I'm sorry."

he damn well should be, but he wasn't going to say that. It had been frustrating because Antonio wouldn't even fucking listen to him! "What's done is done. What you can do is fill me in on the year I clearly_

_missed...and no lying, si?" He guessed they really were...t-together, then...

( Spain muse just wants to tell Lovi to fuck off. Jerkface. )

xD Lovi's always a jerk face]

- "Well, can you tell me where you've been at least? I haven't seen you in months, Lovino. I haven't been able to reach you or anything."

huffs softly. "Antonio, it's amnesia. I don't know where I've been the last few months. To me it's November 2011. I just woke up in fucking ruins. I should be home helping out with the flooding and shit..."

hadn't even known that there was a more recent quake. "Okay, well... Then go."

frowns at that. "No. Not until we're...done with this fucking mess. If you say we were together, then..." >///////////>

- "Then what?"

trying not to fluster. "Then...then I don't know what the hell you want to do." >///////////<

shrugs a little. "I don't think that really matters anymore. Or at least right now."

..."So you were upset because I didn't remember us being together...and now you don't want it?" What did he want then?

shakes his head. "No," pinches the bridge of his nose. "I do, Lovi. I just mean we have other things to worry about now. We should help your people."

decidedly not mention all the money his mafia has managed to procure from the E.U. then... "Si, si, there's rebuilding to do...you're right, we'll figure this out later."

nods, offering Lovino a little smile. "Si." He kisses his cheek lightly before heading upstairs to get dressed.

blushes darkly at the kiss, nodding and wandering around the house. Well...at least that was cleared up.

comes back downstairs, hair slicked back and dressed up in working clothes. "Let's go~"

doesn't know why he's so freaking flustered, but he nods, and heads for the door. "Grazie. You don't have to do this you know..."

shrugs. "I want to."

watches him carefully, wondering so many things. "Grazie." He heads out the door, trying to figure out where exactly they're needed the most.
