==================================================================================

You know the saying 'They were sweating buckets', well let's rephrase that just a little bit so it suits you in this situation...
YOU WERE SWEATING THE GREAT FLOOD THAT FORCED NOAH TO BUILD HIS ARK!!!

Grandpa Rome: leaning back in his office chair
So a~that is a~why are the a~boys aren't a~at a~school right now a.

You were stone silent as you sat in a plush leather seat, in the Vargas brothers' grandfather's office; who also is the owner of the casino and the family head of their 'little' family organisation which just happens to also be an Italian.... Mafia.
From what memory serves you and how much of the information you were capable to contain while the head of a dangerous Mafia metaphorically 'spilled his guts' for the past 15 minutes; the reason the brothers are here is all their grandfather's doing. Apparently his skilled assassins or what ever they are sneaking the two brothers out of school every now and then, keeping them on the mainland for a small amount of time so they can learn about the Mafia, casino and other things they'd inherit; despite their grandfather being close friends with Mr Germania, Mr Rome keeps this a secret from him.

Grandpa Rome let out a sad sigh and reached for a draw on his desk, the sound of things shuffling around interested you, but you soon when pale as a ghost the moment he pulled a handgun out and aimed it at you.

HOLY MOTHER OF LASAGNA!
DON'T SHOOT BRO!

Your eyes flinched to the corner of your eye as your arms instinctively lifted themselves up to show that you weren't a threat, but when you looked over at Feliciano and Lovino they didn't seem shocked at all.

HOW IN THE NAME OF ODOURLESS DEODORANT!?!
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS HE KILLED IN FRONT OF HIS GRANDSONS!?!
THEY AREN'T FAZED BY THIS A SINGLE BIT!

Grandpa Rome: snarling
If you a~tell anyone a~about this a~I will a~kill you a!

In the heat of the moment you were paralysed, utterly vulnerable and 99% sure that you accidentally soiled your new pair of underwear.
You could hear whimpering now, every small belief you had about this being a joke was chased away, Feliciano was whimpering and was frightened. The man who was prepared to take your life rolled his bored golden eyes and plopped the gun down on his desk with no care.

Grandpa Rome: lunging back into his chair
Lovi! Take a~her to your a~room a... Feli... Stay a~here for a~second a.

You felt yourself being pried off the chair and was dragged by Lovino out of the office, leaving Feliciano alone with his grandfather and that gun.

Grandpa Rome: cracking a genuine smile
Feli... I'd a~never shoot her a~it was a~just a~joke a~but also how a~I a~protect my a~boys a.

Feliciano: draping his head with a few tears rolling out
... Then how will a~I a~protect her a?

The proud grandfather was taken back a bit by his grandson's sudden burst of loyalty to his friend, but soon returned a smile to his face.

Grandpa Rome: pulling Feliciano into a hug
I'm a~sorry a.
But I a~think she is a~better with a~Lovi.

Feliciano: yanking his head up
What a!?!
No!
She's a~different to a~other girls a!

Grandpa Rome: trying to hold Feliciano back
I know a~that's a~why I'm a~letting Lovi help a~pop her a~cherry a.

Feliciano: frantically trying to escape his grandfather
NO A!
STOP IT NOW A!

Grandpa Rome: patting Feliciano on the head
That's enough a~Feli... You need to a~grow up a~it's not a~like she will a~die a... Should we a~find you a~g--

The man stopped talking the moment that Feliciano had head butted him; Feliciano seemed distressed by what was happening and he wanted nothing more than to pull that trigger on his beloved grandfather that very second. Feliciano may seem like a fool, he may joke around, but he has a strong respect for others and wants nothing more than peace for all; disrespecting someone like this is crossing the line.

...

You found yourself awkwardly seated on Lovino's luxurious king sized bed, watching as he sat upside down on his couch with a controller in his hands, yelling and threatening the TV. A sigh from the couch caught your attention and watched as a pair of feet disappeared from the top of the couch and then a grumpy head peeped over, glaring at you.

Lovino: flinging both his arms over the top of the couch as well
Isn't that a~uncomfortable a?

You silently blushed and looked away ashamed; the corset portion of the dress was restraining your ribcage and made it kinda hard to normally breathe when you sat down, not to mention your bust was on display for the entire world.
Lovino grumbled to himself and left his couch, trudging his way over to his closet and threw a few clothing items at you.

Lovino: pointing at his walk in closet
Get in a~there and a~change a!

You stood up silently and went to change into what seemed like an oversized button up shirt and a pair of boxers? Okay, I get that most girls with boyfriends or husbands usually 'borrow' these clothing items off of them, but Lovino was still only an acquaintance and you'd wouldn't even use your brothers' clothes like this either. Doesn't he have any other clothes for you to borrow?

When you reemerged from out of the closet, Lovino was back on his game and quickly shifted his head over to get a glimpse of you, he just went back to his game like nothing new happened.

Maybe this wasn't a big deal?
If it wasn't a big deal, then why did you feel sick with embarrassment?

Once again Lovino abandoned his video game and sat next to you on his bed; the grumpy faced Italian crossed his legs as he sat opposite of you, he seemed infatuated with you.

Lovino: attempting to look away from you with a small blush
Smettila di guardarmi con quel fermato atto confuso. (Stop looking at me with that stupid confused act) Guardando come quello, sei troppo carina per il tuo bene. (Looking like that, you're too cute for your own good)

You were blankly staring at him... What did he just say? It's like you need to carry around a dictionary to translate what everyone says! JUST SPEAK ENGLISH PEOPLE! WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS LIKE 3 TIMES ALREADY! ... Is he blushing?

Lovino: strategically popping open the first few buttons on his shirt and rustling up his hair
Is my a~air-conditioner a~broken a?

Now he seemed concentrated on the machine that was mounted above his door, while he was busy studying his air-conditioner you were overwhelmed by an odd feeling.
Your stomach began to turn, your breathing raced, your vision blurred, checks grew rosy and your eyes were fastened on every bit of Lovino, slightly smiling everything a gap between his shirt showed his toned chest.

BULLFLY!
Was he unconsciously seducing you?

Lovino: catching you off guard
Why are a~you a~looking at me a~like a~that a?

You: snapping out of your daze
Umm... Wah?

Lovino: rolling his eyes
You know a~he wasn't going to a~shoot you a....

Lovino growled and unbuttoned the rest of his shirt, casting it away onto the floor in a fit of rage.

Lovino: snarling
I a~had to a~take it off a~it's too hot a.

No complaints here buddy!
Feel free to go complete Gray Fullbuster!
...
Wait, WHAT!?!

You bit down on your tongue as soon as you realised what you thought, you had to get your mind out of the gutter, Lovino seems like he's more innocent than you are right now.

Lovino: frowning at you
Did you a~bit your a~tongue a?

A blush engulfed your face.

Lovino: darting his eyes around the room
I a~know what your a~thinking a.... You're a~just as disgusting as a~my a~grandpa a!

Oh snap!
Chiselled tomato abs is a mind reader!

Lovino reached his hand out and grasped your chin, slowly wiping his thumb across your lips; he seemed so dominant right now, just like how Gilbert was, but something was different... He wasn't aggressive. Maybe there is a different factor between the two, how it might have been Gilbert's first time and Lovino's first was a long time ago; is desire strongest in the heat of the first or does it all rely on who it is? Is it all about what the heart desires or is it all about what ones libido desires?

Lovino: looking deeply into your eyes
You a~miss them a~don't lie to a~me a.

What?
Well that totally wasn't random?

The Italian let go of you and leaned back away from you, lapping in your flustered state.

Lovino: getting off the bed
I a~could never a~live with my a~self if I a~took it away a~from you a... Cute and a~innocent a~ragazza (girl) that isn't a~mine a~to take a.

Well this is a first time seeing this side in a guy, especially now knowing that Feliciano's older and 'jerky' brother is more complex than a generic scrape piece of cheap plastic.

He walked back over to his closet, but this time he pulled out a big suitcase and plopped it onto the bed; he glanced up at you for a second and walked back to his air-conditioner.

Lovino: pressing a button on the machine
Take a~what ever clothes a~you want a~from there a.
I'm sure a~that there is a~something in a~there your a~size a.

Suddenly the air-conditioner kicked into action and the room began to cool down, Lovino seemed to have had a guilty look on his face as he walked over to put back on his shirt. As you searched through the clothes you began to gain an idea of who he was even more, everything in the suitcase was left behind from girls he slept with. Mostly everything in the suitcase was really skimpy, but you soon came across a decent set of floral printed jeans and a basic white tee shirt, there also oddly was a pair basic flats that fitted just as well; GOOD BYE HIGH HEELS AND SCHOOL SHOES THAT BLISTER AND CHAFE YOUR FEET!

Lovino: looking at you with saddened eyes
_____? When dinner is a~happening a~tell grandpa a~that we a....

You got the idea of what he was trying to say and nodded.

Lovino: loosening up his shoulder
Good a~because he would have a~just a~given you to a~Feli then a ... He is a~different Bella ... He won't a~respect that your a~still clean a ... I will a~protect that a.

He's talking about the cheery Italian kid from your art class, right?
There's no way Feli is like that! .......... Right? ......
