Summary:

The pillow is warm under Lovino’s head. He shuffles closer to it, the scent of oranges and clean and a hint of something smoky lingers, pulling him closer to wakefulness. He pushes further into the warmth hoping the steady heartbeat in his ear lulls him back to sleep.

Heartbeat?

————————————————————————

For every day spent in each other’s presence, the awkwardness and formalities faded. Slowly, a bond formed between them. They grew closer. Lovino, especially, found it unexpected. It was so easy to be close to Antonio. When he spoke, his voice was steady and mature beyond his age. Lovino often forgot that Antonio was the younger of the two.

Antonio Fernandez Carriendo: Grew up in the small village where this AU takes place and still loves living there. He has been part of the youth group back when he was younger and is still part of the community. He is part of a team that organises little events like a cake basar after church (mainly because he noticed there's new people around he wants to give them a chance to get to know everyone).

Antonio always wanted children but didn't find a suitable partner after having his heart broken by his ex-girlfriend, so he went for adoption and is now a single dad. He's glad his son seems to get along well with his peers of the youth group because he has been toying with the thought of getting back into dating.

Lovino Vargas: Both of his biological parents died in an accident when he was about 2 years old. He and his little brother Feliciano lived with their grandpa until he passed away and they were separated and put into foster families. He spent nearly 3 years in foster care until he was adopted by Antonio.

Lovino himself hardly remembers this but he gave Antonio a very hard time after he was adopted. Having to spend his early childhood in foster care left some scars but his dad showered him with love from the beginning and slowly earned Lovinos trust.
