After about an hour, the rain let up a bit. Antonio and Lovino said their goodbyes and sprinted for their home. The wind blew harshly, making Lovino's eyes tear up. He closed his eyes and tightened his grip on Antonio's hand. When they finally made it home, they were both soaked. Lovino stood by the doorway while Antonio went to get some towels.
After they dried off and changed it to some dry clothes, Antonio lit some candles since their power was out as well. Rain had begun to fall hard again and a loud crash of thunder sounded. Lovino covered his ears, being sensitive to the sound.
"Are you okay Lovino?" Antonio asked, concern evident in his voice. Lovino sat down and looked away.
"Of course I'm okay. I'm not like Feliciano, I don't need you to worry about me!" Antonio just chuckled and sat beside him. They both sat in silence for a while.
"Lovino, I just want you to know that it's okay if you're scared. I'm here for you," Antonio said as he petted Lovino. Lovino growled and looked away as he pushed Antonio's hand away.
"I'm not like Feliciano, I don't need you to worry about me!" Antonio was about to say something, but the wind howled loudly. They heard a loud crack, then a thud as something fell in the back yard. Antonio walked to the window and looked out. He cursed under his breath. He walked over to Lovino and pulled him up. Lovino was about to protest but Antonio pulled him into the hallway.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lovino growled. Antonio gave him a very serious look.
"Don't argue with me right now Lovino," he said as he sat down and pulled Lovino down with him. He held Lovino close to him and Lovino squirmed.
"Antonio let go," Lovino whined. The wind picked up once more and something fell in the distance.
"No. There's a tornado coming Lovino. We have to stay in the hallway to be safe. Please, don't argue," Antonio said sternly. Lovino's eyes widened when he heard tornado. He whimpered and buried his against Antonio's chest. Antonio hugged him tightly.
"Don't worry Lovino. It will be okay." Lovino just nodded.
Soon the wind was fiercing and screaming around the house. Lovino's ears flattened, trying to drown the sound out. He felt tears prick the corner of his eyes. He hasn't felt this scared since he left the lab.
Antonio whispered sweet, soothing words to him. Lovino tried to calm down, but he was tense, his instincts telling him to run. The wind kept getting louder and louder. Soon the whole house was shaking with the ground.
Lovino whimpered loudly and Antonio held him closer to him. There were loud cracks that could be heard over the loud winds. Antonio kept whispering soothing words to Lovino as the house shook.
Soon the wind died down and the house stopped shaking. Lovino looked up at Antonio. Antonio smiled sadly as he wiped Lovino's tears away. He didn't even realize he was crying. They sat there for a while before Antonio stood up. He helped Lovino up and walked into the kitchen with Lovino following him.
"Aw, our tree fell down," Antonio said as he looked out the window. Lovino looked out with him, seeing the smashed fence beneath the tree. There were countless of twigs and tree branches scattered in the yard. Antonio sighed.
"Seems like we'll be cleaning a bunch of stuff tomorrow. I wonder who will move the tree." Lovino looked at him as he spoke. He closed his eyes and hugged Antonio tightly. Antonio was surprised but he hugged back.
"Grazie Antonio," Lovino whispered. Antonio smiled and tilted his chin up.
"Your welcome, Lovino," he said as he gave Lovino a soft kiss.
