In Denial


"Come on, Lovino! Just admit it! You like (y/n), don't you?" Feliciano pestered his older brother.

"No, I don't! Now shut up! I hear enough of that crap about her from Antonio!" He shouted back.

You giggled as you heard the two Italian brothers arguing again. It was cute, as long as Lovino didn't get too angry and start to get violent. You quietly walked up behind them, and jumped in between to the two.

"Hear enough crap about who?" You asked, genuinely curious.

Lovino looked away, in an attempt to hide his blush. Why was he blushing, anyway? He didn't like (y/n) at all! "Nobody." Was all he said.

"Well, you had to of been talking about somebody, right Feliciano?" The younger brother began to get nervous when he saw his brother shoot him a glare that said he'd pay if he told her who they'd been talking about.

"Uh… Nope! It was nobody, (y/n)." He muttered.

You sighed. Now you really wanted to know. You had considered for the longest time that maybe these confidential conversations were about you, but Feliciano had a habit of telling you everything. You knew that if it had been about you, he would have told you right then.

"Fine," You surrendered, "I won't bug you guys, then." And with that, you walked away from the two brothers, leaving them to get back to their arguing. Feliciano cringed when saw the glare that his brother gave him.

His pleas and apologies did nothing to stop the older Italian from yelling at him and hitting him.



"Huh? They won't tell you?" Antonio asked. You decided maybe it would be better to ask him why Lovino had become distant, seeing as how the two of you had been good friends.

You nodded, looking at the floor. "It's been happening a lot lately. Neither Lovino or Feliciano will ever talk to me about it. I just want to know what they've been talking about!"

Antonio smiled to himself. He knew exactly what they'd been talking about, but he decided he'd let (y/n) figure it out for herself. After all, she was a smart girl, wasn't she? Well, and there'd be hell to pay if Lovino found out.

He shrugged. "I don't know," He noticed something different in your eyes as you looked at the ground and sighed. "Say, (y/n), you don't like Lovino, do you?"

"W-what do you mean? Of course I like him, we're best friends!" You blushed, knowing he had figured it out.

"Ah, I see. So, you're afraid that the man you love has found somebody else, right?" He said.

You shook your head and waved your hands frantically. "No! No! It's not like that! I'm not in love with Lovino!"

Antonio looked at you reproachfully.

"Okay, so I'm in love with him!" You through your arms up. "It doesn't even matter, though. Sometimes I think he hates me."

Antonio looked away. He didn't mean to make her sad! He had to think fast. "Uh… no way, Senorita," He tried soothe her, "and you know what?"

You looked up at him. "What?"

"I'll prove that he could never hate you. Go to (Restaurant) tonight at seven, and wear something pretty." He said confidently.

"Huh?" You questioned, clueless.

"Just trust me. Now go get ready," He said, pushing you out the door. He had some talking to do with Lovino.




You walked into the restaurant that night completely unaware of what was going on. Lovino obviously had something he didn't want you to know, and you thought he was occupied with a relationship or something. You were okay with that, kind of. But, why wouldn't he want you to know? Did he know that you liked him? If so, who told him? Or was it that obvious? By the time Lovino got to your table you were so confused you didn't know left from right.

"Hi," Was all he said.

You looked up at him, to see him wearing a suit, which he looked quite handsome in. You blushed a little and gave a quiet, "H-hello Lovino."

"Antonio forced me to come here against my will." He said bluntly. Your eyes widened. He must have been angry with you.

You looked down. "Sorry."

He looked away. Great, now he'd upset her. If it hadn't been for that stupid Antonio and his younger brother, he wouldn't be in this mess, and he could've just kept hiding that he liked her- yeah, whatever, he admitted it, he liked her and-

"I love you,"

Lovino looked at (y/n), completely shocked. "W-what?"

"I love you, and I just wanted to tell you that. Because I can tell you're in some sort of relationship, and I don't want to get between that, but I still had to tell you." You shrugged.

Lovino pulled on the collar of his shirt. Was it hot in there? His heart was beating incredibly fast, and he could feel the heat rising in his cheeks when he said, "I-I love you too, (y/n)."

You couldn't believe it. "Really?!" You stood up from the table, and in your excitement, wrapped your arms around Lovino, who hadn't even gotten a chance to sit down yet. He hugged you back, and chuckled in your ear.

You pulled away. "So.. Is this the part where we like…?"

Of course, his lips were against yours in an instant when he heard you say that. After you pulled away, people all around the restaurant were watching, and some were clapping and hollering.

"Shut up!" Lovino pulled you out of the restaurant, and as you were being pulled down the road you thought you heard two people say "I told you so!"
