Antonio X-Reader Lovely Penpal CH. 5

The sun was shining and warming up your face. The smell of bacon and eggs were in the air when you woke up. You opened your eyes and a little suprised you looked around. Everything came back slowly and you fell back into your pillow with a smile. You made your way to the shower and cleaned yourself before you put on a summerdress and walked downstairs for some delicious breakfast.



You found a lady in the kitchen and when she turned around to face you she started to speak spanish. Witout understanding one word you looked at you and she smiled. In her best english she told you that Antonio was in his garden. But your breakfast was almost ready so you could sit down in the dinnerroom for some breakfast. She showed you the way to the massive room. There was a long wooden table, covered in a red cloth. There was enough room for more than 20 people.



The woman came back with a gigantic plate filled with several drinks, toast with bacon and eggs and yoghurt. You had some tea, a glass of water and some sort of fruitsorbet. It smelled delicious and after you thanked her she smiled, turned around and dissapeared. You started with the toast. And soon after that the plate was as good as empty. Your stomach was filled and you were satisfied. You grabbed your plate but when you wanted to clean it the lady ran towards you and pushed you softly aside. "No, no. Not work for you, ma'am." She said and you giggled. "Oh, okay, thank you." You whispered and she smiled.  



Oudside. The sun was shining beautiful and bright and warmed up everything around you. The garden wasn't far and you walked over to it with your bare feet. You could see Antonio's little grumpy brother Romano. You were a little scared for this boy, sure, he wasn't older than you but he was taller. And he didn't seem to be pleased with your apperence. Antonio told you that be never liked a single girl, not even his mom. In fact, he hates his mother. She wasn't his real mother, Felanciano and Romano were both adopted. After several years he finally accepted his stepmom. But then his stepdad died, Antonio's father. And when his mom found another man he didn't spokt to her. He hadn't say a single word ever since towards her. Or so you were told.



"I like the tomatoes, they look absolutely beautiful." You said but Romano didn't even look up. "Piss off, bastarda." He growled and you smirked. "You know, when I wasn't born like any normal kid. I didn't want to come out. So they had to pull me out with a blue pliers. I didn't look at them for over a month. At nobody." A small smile appeard at his face. Not much, but it was something. "Are you smiling Lovino? Incredible!" Antonio screamed when he showed up and Romano turned around. "I wasn't smiling, you tomatoe bastard." He hissed and ran off. Antonio looked at you and smiled a little embarresed. "I'm sorry, I hope I wasn't unterupting." You laughed. "No, we were just talking. Well, I was just talking." You said and he laughed. "Let me show you around!" he said and you nodded. He took your hand and showed you his plants. Big red tomatoes hang between the leaves and he looked at you. "And now, my precious!" He exclaimed and smiled with he pointed at a huge plant in the middle of the garden. "This is my first tomatoe plant, and he means a lot to me, really." he said filled with pride and you looked at the massive plant. The tomatoes were incredibly big and beautiful. "Beautiful." You whispered.



He smiled and looked at you. "Just like you are, (Y/N)." He said softly and you looked at him, blushing. He smiled and grabbed your hand again. "What do you want to do today? I can give you a tour through the town today? Or we can go to Barcelona and look around there? Or we can just go the the beach and swim. There is a mountain as well, we can climb? Anything." You laughed and closed your eyes, thinking about all the things you could do. "A tour sounds great to me." You said and he laughed and nodded. "A tour it is than!" He said and the two of you walked over to the town.



The town was sweet and not so big. There was a nice little square filled with stalls for the market. You walked around and in the middle of the square stood a little band, playing music. The guitarguy was singing along with the music but nobody was dancing. "Come on." You smirked and grabbed Antonio's hand. You pulled him thourgh the croud and started to dance. More people came and looked at you. Your dress swirled around in the mind while you were dancing pirouettes. Antonio was dancing with you and didn't let go of your hand. You looked into his eyes and smiled. Another piroette and you almost fell. He catched you and the croud started to clapp in their hands. You smiled, thanked your friend and grabbed some more hands. You pulled several people on the square and they started to dance as well. it was a lot of fun and in no time nearly the whole market was dancing on the rythm of the music.



The music stopped ant the people clapped in their hands. Antonio looked at you and his tanned cheeks turned a little red. "That was really fantasic." Antonio said softly and he grabbed your hands. You smiled and looked up to him. "Thank you." You whispered and he smirked. Your lipps came closer to his and his arms were wrapped around your waist. You could feel his breath against your neck and it smelled like tomatoes. Your beautiful tanned friend was only a few inches away from you. His green sparkeling eyes were staring into yours and his wavey brown hair was a little messy like always. You looked at his lips and back at his eyes. This was the moment. He was going to kiss you and. "HEY TONY, (Y/N). KESESESESESESES. Am I botching up your awesome moment? Too bad, I have real awesome news for you guys." And the moment was ruined.



Unbelieveble. This was the perfect moment and that idiot of a friend just came in and ruined everything. You turned around facing Gilbert and he smirked. "There is a tournement." You let go of Antonio's hand and listened to the things Gilbert had to say.



"Okay, listen up. This tournament is going to be beach volley ball. And I couldn't stop but noticing that you were pretty good out there yesterday, (Y/N). And since Antonio is pretty good himself as well, I thought, how about we put yuo guys in the team as well? We will play with Francis, and Alfred and Matthew will be the back ups. Is that awesome or what?"



Antonio smirked. "Nice work." He turned around to face me. "Are you in?" You laughed and nodded. "Absolutely."



Maybe you were a little upsat about earlier today, but hey. You were on the beach trying to reach a ball, and like it or not. You were pretty kickass good. The first game would start tonight around 10 PM and you were absolutely ready for it. Francis suggested to go to Barcelona for some party afterwards but luckliy for you Antonio didn't feel like it. A party fine, but you guys would arrive in Barcelona around 1 AM. So Gilbert sugested to go to the karaoke bar after the game. You all agreed to that.



After dinner you walked back upstairs to change into your bikini with some shorts and on top your fafourite shirt. On your way downstairs you found Romano sitting on the stairs. You sat down next to him. "Are you okay?" You asked and he looked up at you. This was the first time he looked up after you spoke to him. Now. You didn't say a lot to him but you were a little woried for this kid. he seemed like a nice kid and it would be ashame to see him this unhappy. You were sure he had a reason to be this angry and upsat all the time. "No." he said after a long silence. His eyes met yours and you would swear that he could start crying any minute now. After a short hessitate you placed your hand on his arm. You expected him to shake it of and curse and stuff but he didn't. He started to cry instead.



This was not what you expected. You had no clue what was going on in his life, you barely knew him! A little unfortable you petted him on his shoulder, softly speaking that is was going to be all right. But how could you know? Maybe he killed someone. You had no clue.



"I have never talked to anyone. But I'm done with it. I can't hold it in much longer." More tears came up and he looked at you. "Please don't say anything to anyone. I am begging you." A little shocked you looked at him. "Of course, I won't say a thing." he nodded and stared at the floor. "You know, I don't know what is it that is bothering you so much. But I think it's important for you to understand that your brothers love you. And what you tell me will stay between the two of us." You promised and he nodded.



He dried his tears and sighed.



"I'm gay." He whispered and looked at you in shock.
