Lovino patiently waited for the mail. Antonio hadn't told him or showed him what ring he had picked out, but Lovino did tell him his ring size.

Neither Romulus or Feliciano knew why the other was so antsy, nor did they know that he was engaged to the Spaniard.

"Is the mail here yet?" Lovino asked for the fourth day in a row.

"It should be-" Romulus started and was cut off when Lovino ran out of the room to find the Butler.

"Oi! Did the mail come????" Lovino questioned as he stormed up to the poor butler.

"Ah, yes sir, you have received a parcel," the Butler handed over a small package to Lovino who took it and ran to his room.

In his room he looked at the brown paper box and unwrapped it. Inside was a velvet box and inside that... was the ring...

Lovino saw it and his heart raced and his eyes watered. Ugh you're such a baby... he admired the ring closely. It was a simple silver band with a ruby encrusted tomato shape. The inside of the band said: Mi Amor, Lovino.

He let out a shaky breath and slid the ring on his right hand, smiling brightly he grabbed his phone and video called Antonio.

Antonio was at the college campus. He had just finished signing up for his classes as his phone buzzed in his pocket.

He whipped it out and saw that it was Lovino video calling him. He answered with a bright smile, "Lovi!!! What's up?" He asked brightly. It wasn't everyday that Lovi called him out of the blue.

Lovino had a big smile on his face and it made Antonio melt inside, "Toni! It came!" He whipped up his hand and his smile spread to a big toothy one.

"Dios mio... I love you so much, te amo...." Antonio breathed, giving a chuckle, "I'm glad, does it fit?"

"Yeah, it fits, perfectly..." Lovino held his hand up to the light, admiring the ring lovingly.

"Now we're officially engaged," Antonio breathed, "you telling your family yet?"

Lovino's smile didn't disappear but it softened, "I think I'll tell them today, now that I have my ring," he replied.

"Mm, okay, call me if you need anything," Antonio assured him.

"I will, ti amo, Toni," Lovino murmured before hanging up the phone.

Antonio's heart fluttered and he put his phone back in his pocket, his eyes full of love.

Lovino took a deep breath and stood up from his bed. He walked down the halls and to the main hall, "oi!! Fratello! Nonno!! Come here!!" He yelled.

It took a few minutes but finally the two Italians showed up. "Ve~!! What's up?" Feliciano questioned curiously, hopping onto the couch.

Romulus seemed equally as curious, "is this about what you've been waiting for in the mail?"

Lovino ignored them and stood in front of them, hands clasped in front of him to hide the ring- then BAM- he thrusted his right hand down into view, "I am engaged!" He announced.

Romulus and Feli were startled at the sudden show but then Feli smiled brightly, "VE! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!" He got up and hugged his brother tightly.

"Oi oi dont hug too hard, I don't want to die before I get married," Lovino said sarcastically.

Romulus smiled warmly, "is it to that nice Spanish boy?"

"Yep," Lovino took off the ring and let Romulus inspect it and read what was inscribed.

"I'm happy for you..." Romulus looked near to tears, "my baby Lovino is growing up!"

"eugh! Don't start that with me!" Lovino hissed, but he was really happy. His grandfather finally seemed proud of him.

"So he proposed over the phone?" Feli asked with a grin.

"Mhm, yeah, then he had a custom ring made on Etsy and had it shipped to me," Lovino replied, smiling at the ring.

"So when's the wedding?"

"After he gets the cafe up and running, I don't want anything to happen in case something goes wrong, like financially," Lovino told him.

"Makes sense, but you know we would help you out when things go wrong," Romulus reminded.

Lovino sighed, "yes I know, but I want to figure things out too," he assured.

"Got it, inviting Romeo?" Romulus asked with an eyebrow raised.

Romeo. The youngest brother. He went to a boarding school in the Netherlands, it was his own choice.

"Yeah of course, but I don't know when his breaks are and if it'll be during one of his. I'll write him a letter about it later," Lovino sighed.

After a long discussion about how Lovino will live with Antonio and the smaller details on the wedding.

Lovino for once in his life.... felt complete.
