"Do you really suppose it's ok for the to meet?"
"It has to happen sometime. It'd be better to try and get them on good terms now, when they don't really understand it."
"I suppose that's true. How about you bring your son to the park tommorrow, and I'll bring Lovi?"
"Si, that sounds fantastic! Feli will be so excited!"
"Yes, I can't wait to meet him. Goodbye, Romulus."And with that the woman hung up, genuine smile on face.
Her divorced husband was finally allowing their son, Lovino, and his other son in which he had made with his current husband, Feliciano, meet.
Romulus and Romelia, two people so alike, had divorced because of conflicts after giving birth to their son, Lovino.
They had parted peacefully after Romelia won Lovino in court.
The issue they had divorced over wasn't even that bad. There were too many conflicts, and they were just... too alike.
Romulus came over 4 times a year to see Lovino and help care for him, assuring him that even though he wasn't always there, he still loved him very much.
And, after the divorce was done, Romulus had fallen in love with man with long blond hair, who he affectionately called "Germainia" because of the man's origins.
After marriage, they cheated the laws of physics, and Romulue's second son, Feliciano, was born.
Romelia snapped out of her thoughts and turned around.
"Hey, bambino, we're going to the park tomorrow."
The eight year old turned around from his video game, tomato hanging from his mouth.
"We are?"He asked, speech muffled by the fruit.
--
"We'll be back soon, okay?"The brunette with many curls promised the long-haired blonde.
Said blonde sighed.
"Alright, but be careful."
"You don't have to be so scared, Mutti! Papa loves you!"The bouncy 6-year-old boy underneath them cheered, carrying a closed plastic container of pasta to eat later.
"Feli, I'm a male, I can't be your mother."
"But you gave birth to me!"
The blonde blushed, and Romulus laughed, kissing the blonde on the forehead before picking up his auburn-haired son, carrying him off.
--
"Romulus."
"Romelia."
The two usually cheerful brunettes greeted eachother a bit stiffly, but were still friendly.
Just because they were still friends didn't mean they weren't still a bit stiff around eachother.
But the half-brothers needed to meet.
The two boys peeked from behind their respective parent's leg.
"Who is that lady?"The 6 year old Feli wondered.
"Why's papa here? And-- oh my tomatoes. Who is that?"Lovi thought, a blush coming to his cheeks as he noticed the six-year-old.
The small boy he was staring at had red-brown hair, and his eyes closed. He looked at him and his mother nervously, but when he saw Lovino, who must've looked comforting to him because of their alike looks, he smiled and let out a tiny, happy little "ve" that made the usually grumpy Italian kid's heart melt.
The woman knelt down next to Feli, and Feli stopped staring at the older kid.
It had comforted Feli that someone close to his age was here too, on this strange and unexpected trip to the park, plus, he looked very caring, despite the grumpy and curious frown that was in his face at first.
The woman stared at Feli lovingly, then looked up to his father.
"If it wasn't for the age difference, they could be twins, Romulus. The resemblance is uncanny and adorable."She commented, smiling before she pet Feliciano's hair, in which he giggled and leaned into her hand.
Lovino, who had quietly been watching the whole time, blushed. Who was this kid, and why was he so cute?!
"Lovino, this is your younger half-brother, Feliciano. Feliciano, this is Lovino, your older brother."Romulus introduced them, knowing Feli wouldn't yet understand the concept of half-brothers, but Lovi might.
Lovino stumbled towards the small boy.
"Is this that love at first sight thing they always talk about on TV?" He wondered.
"H-hi."Lovino greeted the younger.
Feli was still in shock from the prospect of having an older brother.
"Gr-grande... fratello?"He asked, eyes opening to reveal bright honey orbs.
Lovino blushed and smiled lovingly at him.
"Yes, in a way. So that makes you my frattelino."He smiled.
Feliciano smiled and laughed, jumping on him as he gave him a huge hug.
"Grande fratello!!"
"CH-CHIGI!"
--
For the rest of the day, the two played and learned about eachother.
Lovino learned that his newly found brother loved painting, cooking(or otherwise, trying to), playing games, and his favorite food was pasta.
And he thought that was adorable.
--Timeskip--
It was two years later.
The two half-brothers had begged their parents to see eachother constantly, so they had organized weekly playdates.
Now, Lovi hated school, but what he did love was seeing Feli wave wildly whenever his class passed Lovi's classroom, or the rare times when Lovino's fourth grade class and Feli's second grade class would be on the playground together, and they would always play together constantly.
And of course, they would both count down the days to till their next playdate.
Today, Romulus had met up with just Lovi at the park.
Just the two of them on a bench.
"Lovi, I think it's time you learned about the birds and the bees. After all, you're about to be eleven.
"The birds and the bees?"
"Yep! I'm going to tell you how babies are made. Now listen, when two people love eachother very much, they start to blush and get flustered around eachother, thinking about eachother constantly.
"Can you think of anyone who makes you feel like that, Lovi?"
"Uh-huh."The boy blushed.
"Really?? Who?"
"Feli."
"L-Lovi that's not the kind of--Nevermind. Anyway, when two people, regardless of gender love eachother, they have sex! Now imagine the person you think you really love again, okay? Now uh... you know the hole mommy showed when you were little when you--"
"I told you not to mention that!"
"Anyway, imagine putting your, um...penis is that person's hole."
Lovi blushed deeply, imagining doing that with Feli, and looking up at him horrified.
"Now um, imagining them moaning and begging for more."
Lovi blushed, perfectly being able to imagine Feliciano under him, doing this.
He grew uncomfortable.
"Ah! Lovi's first boner! Just wait it out. So who did you imagine?"He asked.
"F-Feli."
Romulus looked at him.
"Lovi, you can't imagine him. You're brothers."He softly scolded.
"So what? You said love was blind."
"Love is blind, not dumb. You can't date your frattelino, and you especially can't have sex with him."
"But... it's only by half, right?"
--
"Potato bastard, trying to take my fratello." Timeskip 3 years, and you'll find the 13 year old Lovino growling as he watched his ten year old half-brother laughing as he tried to teach the blonde next to him how to paint.
They were at summer camp, and Feli had made fast friends with everyone, and that was fine, but this boy constantly blushed around him, and constantly complimented him.
"I-I'll never be as good a painter as you, Feli. You're like a goddess."He blushed.
"Well that's one thing you got right, jackass!"Lovino yelled, sketching in his notebook while stretched out on the grass not too far away from the two.
"Lovi!"Feli scolded him.
"I'm sorry, he's usually like this."Feli giggled in an apology.
Damn. Why couldn't he giggle like that to Lovi.
Lovino looked up as Feli concentrated on his artwork once again. Lovi loved it when he looked like this.
Gentle smile on face, honey orbs focused and open as the paintbrush gently stroked the canvas.
Lovi blushed, and turned to a new page in his sketchbook, reminding himself to finish the drawing of the cat he had been drawing later.
He started sketching someone, a person, someone concentrated on drawing.
An adorable 11 year old male with soft auburn hair, gentle Amber eyes, soft, kissable pink lips and a wayward curl that stuck out haphazardly.
Lovino smiled softly at his creation, looking up to see Feli complimenting the blonde's hideous drawing.
He smiled at Feli's attempt, deciding that he wanted attention from his brother now as he yelled,
"Hey! Feli! Come look at this!"
Feli ran to him and looked at the sketch.
"Oh, Lovi, it's beautiful."Feli smiled softly as he hugged him, kissing his cheek.
Lovino grinned, looking to the blonde to see he had vanished.
Feliciano noticed as well.
"Huh? Where'd he go?"
"It doesn't matter. Cmon, let's draw together, you've been ignoring me all day."Lovi grinned, crawling over and leaning against a nearby rock, holding his arms out invitingly, in which Feliciano grabbed their sketchbooks and happily obliged, sitting in his lap as he leaned his head on his shoulder.
Lovino pulled him close, and Feli snuggled into him.
"Only by half..."Lovino muttered as they began sketching together.
--
"Wait! Ludwig!"Feli yelled, as Ludwig walked away.
"I don't deal with gays."The German growled, walking away without a second glance.
How could the blonde boy that complimented him so much do this?
The eighteen year old Italian fell to the ground, sobbing.
"He said he loved me, but..."Feli shook his head, not believing this.
The rain poured on him, but Feli didn't care.
Then it stopped.
The young Italian was picked up and held into a chest.
He looked up.
There was Lovino, his half-brother, loyal to him always. His dark, chocolate brown hair swayed in the storm, despite him having an umbrella, and with his brown-green eyes, he stared after Ludwig quite angrily, holding Feliciano tightly with only one strong arm.
Feli blushed and wrapped his arms around his neck, snuggling into him.
He was dawning on a realization, what though, he didn't know.
Lovino seemed to have snapped out of his silent rage at Feli's affection.
He held him tighter, kissing his head.
"He was a bastard anyway. You deserve so, so, so much better, fratello."He whispered, and Feliciani could tell just by his half-brother's voice that he definitely meant it.
Then, he finally realized who he really loved.
He leaned up, rest my his forehead on Lovi's, feeling his half-brother's face heat up as he giggled. Lovino chuckled and
"I love you, fratello. As more than a brother."They sighed at the same time, then pulled away abruptly, surprised.
"B-but... we're brothers..."Was Feli's sad and uneasy reply.
"But only by half, right?"The older responded, then kissed him.

((SIX HOURS. DONE. I DID IT. WOOOOOOOOOOO--))

(((Ahahahaha. Definitely didn't almost forget the picture. Nop.))
