Slave! Lovino x Reader x Slave! Feliciano Chp 8

You grumbled mentally about having to show these two around, but as soon as you five were a good distance from the room you noticed that they seemed to be planning something. Troublesome little brats, sometimes you just wanted to choke them, but you had to refrain for now at least, maybe they would get mauled by bears or something one day. If it would have helped you would have slowed your pace to join beside Lovino and Feliciano, but they were making sure to stay the average distance away from you in order to keep this charade up so that they wouldn’t get annoyed by the twins.

“Show us to our rooms.” You looked up seeing them glance back at you, okay Francois you wouldn’t have to worry about as much as his sister Francine. Even though they were two years younger than you, it wasn’t strange for even married women or men to force a slave or servant to have sex with them and since they weren’t considered people no one cared. You felt like Francine might try something just to bother you or the other members of this household, however if they kept with the routine that they were your personal guards and not just slaves then it wouldn’t be dangerous for them if they declined.

“You both stay in the same rooms every time you come here, why do you need me to show you there?” You looked down at both of them and they shrugged their shoulders before smirking up at you just for a split second before they tried to act innocent once again.

“It’s been a really long time…” Francois started first his green eyes revealing the true mischievous intent that lay behind his innocent looking face. Francine mirroring the same actions as her brother.

“We’re afraid we might get lost.” Yeah right, they were definitely up to something, you sighed not having much to argue with other than a gut feeling those two were planning on causing a lot of trouble, you began leading them to their usual rooms with both Lovino and Feliciano standing in front of you now and the twins behind you since they were oh so clueless on where their rooms were. They might not try at their actual work but they weren’t idiots. It seemed like Lovino was tenser than usual and even Feliciano didn’t seem to be quite as cheerful because of the guests, even without knowing them they didn’t give off a kind air. It was obvious after being around them for a moment that they were cruel people, you felt bad for everyone that was forced to work for them. You continued down the hall and turned to the twins when you reached the rooms, one right next to Lovino’s room, but they didn’t need to know that Feliciano had been using one of your rooms.

“Here are your rooms.” I had a blank look on my face and was just waiting for them to try something. Just as you expected they did, well more like Francine did and Francois was just waiting to see the result. Francine grabbed the arm of Feliciano and you saw both him and Lovino stiffen, however Lovino just looked angry, you had noticed one thing at least, that during certain times Lovino could be really protective over Feliciano.

“Why don’t you come play with me?” She looked up at him with eyes that showed just what she intended to do with him if he was forced to follow her and Feliciano looked scared, that was when you remembered. They were still working on getting out of that mentality and while they were confident enough around your family to act closer to themselves, they were scared of what your Uncle’s family might have the power to do to them. Feliciano looked like he was going to cry, that’s when you stepped in before Lovino lost his temper and before Feliciano cried.

“He’s not going anywhere with either of you, that goes for Lovino as well. You are both to leave them alone.” You pushed Francine’s shoulder just enough to force her to release her hold on Feliciano’s arm. That seemed to make the brothers relax, but now both of the twins had narrowed their eyes at you.

“And if we don’t?” Francois had his hands on his hips looking you as if he was daring you to do something to harm them. Honestly since they were in your Father’s household they didn’t have their mother and father’s protection, if you, your mother, or your father- as their elders and authorities of the house- you could punish them as deemed necessary.

“I’ll hand both of you over to Sebastian to be disciplined like the last time you two caused trouble.” They both visibly flinched, they had every right to be scared of him, he didn’t even like them and when they were causing trouble in the house and nearly dislocating Lucas’ shoulders he got mad. As long as it was reported to their parents the reason why and the fact they were being disciplined your Uncle and Aunt couldn’t do anything but get over it since it wasn’t their home and they had no authority here. They glared at you again before both going into one of the rooms, probably to scheme something. When you were sure that they were in the room you looked at Feliciano concerned, he still seemed frightened. You gently took his hand and at first he started to shake since he hadn’t realized who it was but he calmed down after a moment. “Come on let’s go to the garden, it’s nice out today.”

“O-okay.” Feliciano nodded and followed you never letting go of your hand on the way there, since Lovino was still tense you took his hand too, but it was more to keep him from suddenly snapping at someone than to comfort him like you were trying to with Feliciano. He jumped a bit at first and blushed, but other than that he was silent. You led them to the tree you found Lovino at since it was out of view from the room that the twins were in and sat down with them. Lovino released your hand and took a seat on the other side of his brother sitting closer to him than he normally would.

“Are you going to be okay Feliciano…?” Your voice was soft and gentle as if your breath alone could break him, he nodded but he didn’t seem like he was okay, you squeezed his hand a bit more. You knew that they both probably had a really tough time before they came here, but you didn’t know really anything about their past. However Feliciano had looked so scared about the idea of following Francine into that room and for the first while he was terrified of going into your room, he would avoid it if he could and so did Lovino. They avoided both you and your mother more than your father. Seeing as how they were both handsome young men, the idea of being used like that wouldn’t shock you and that would at least kind of explain why he looked so scared, but something really bad had to have happened to make him shake like that.

“Non ti preoccupare ... non lascerò che accada di nuovo.” Lovino had a strange tone to his voice when he spoke, and you didn’t really know enough Italian yet to know what he was saying. Feliciano looked over at him and nodded though leaning just a slight bit closer to his brother. You three sat quietly for a time, eventually Feliciano calmed down and smiled at you and his brother. Your Uncle’s family might cause more problems than you originally thought they would.

“Grazi fratello, bella.” He still seemed a bit shaken but he was better. You smiled and nodded at him, and his brother just sat quietly looking annoyed and frustrated like he usually did.

“Come on, I’m sure that Rosaline has started dinner by now.” You knew that Feliciano liked helping in the kitchen, so that would probably help him more and Lovino… well he liked to take tomatoes on occasion and snack on them. He would help cook at times too, but really the most interest he had ever taken was when he was making Italian cuisine like the other night, other than that he was pretty neutral about the idea. Feliciano smiled a bit more and you all stood up going into the kitchen to see a frustrated Rosaline. You had a feeling that she got one of their impossible requests again. “Rosaline..?”

“Huh?! Oh… it’s just you three.” She sighed seemed to relax just a tiny bit before she started working on whatever she was trying to make again, the other two were being a bit more cautious now that they saw that Rosaline wasn’t in a great mood.

“What’s-a wrong?” Feliciano considered the people that lived here his friends, so it didn’t surprise you that he was worried about Rosaline. After all she usually was in a decent mood, she didn’t get frustrated like this too often.

“It’s nothing darlin’. Those damn devils ain’t been here a full day and they’re already pissing me off…” She grumbled the last sentence but it was pretty easy to hear. You gave a sympathetic grin, you could understand that, those twins would definitely be a pain now that they knew they weren’t going to get what they wanted an they just got here today which was the worst part.

“You don’t have to tell me twice, do you mind if we stay here for a bit, those brats wouldn’t step foot in here no matter who they were looking at.” They were too good to step foot in the kitchen unless it was to yell at a worker or cause trouble, even then they avoided servant areas.

“Of course not, and if any of you want to help me make dinner feel free.” Feliciano grinned and took her up on the offer, even Lovino did and that surprised you because you thought that he was going to sit down with you and just much on a tomato. Eventually the pair ushered Rosaline away once they knew what they were making and she was sitting down next to you while those two cooked, it seemed to be cheering Feliciano up again which made you smile.

“So what did they say to you?” You looked over at her, she might as well vent before she snaps at them, she looked over at you and just te mention of them made her look frustrated all over again.

“Those stuck up pains in the neck asked me to make a dish and started talking about how their chef can do it relatively easily, but then when I try and put the damn thing together I can already tell it’s going to be one of those dishes that could be made by the best more experienced cooks in the world and they would still find something wrong with it!” Rosaline always hated cooking for them, she was right they always came up with some strange or really intricate dish that they wanted and no matter how perfectly she made it they would always find something wrong with it, they would pick at the presentation to the actual taste of the food. They just wouldn’t accept anything.

“I’m sorry. Look on the bright side though, they’re only staying maybe a week and there’s always a chance their carriage will get attack by robbers and all four of them will get killed.” That was just being hopeful, Rosaline chuckled slightly at the idea knowing those idiots would start begging for their lives and showing how cowardly they were as soon as even a toy knife is pointed their direction. Though your father was good at fencing and using a sword his brother thought he was too good to do anything that might cause him to sweat.

“That would be nice, but darlin’ not even death would want them.” You giggled and nodded, you knew that the other two could hear you, but you couldn’t see what they were doing and they didn’t say anything about. When dinner was finally made the table was set and you sat opposite of your mother next to your father. Usually you just grabbed a chair and sat down not really caring where, but you didn’t want to risk sitting any closer to those other four than you needed to. You could tell but Aunt Flo’s face that she was ready to judge the food and the others were too, but you felt a bit of satisfaction seeing them looked a bit surprised, if only Rosaline could have seen their faces. They didn’t say a word, at least not about the food, and mainly just talked to your father, when dinner was over Feliciano and Lovino were by your side again. You three waited for everyone else to scurry to their rooms before you started to yours so that the twins would be gone and so would your Aunt and Uncle. When you reached your room you were just about to say good night and go in your room, but before they could to Lovino’s room you grabbed their hands.

“Hey… if anything happens or if they bother you, just come to me okay, if not me then Mother or Father will help too. You can come to me anytime okay?” You wanted to at least them feel like they had people to go to if they were given any problems, they nodded to you and before you released them. “And as guards you’re both allowed to refuse any requests by them, so don’t worry as much about anything they say okay?”

“Okay, buonanotte bella.” Feliciano smiled at you, and Lovino just huffed nodding again before you released their hands.

“Sweet dreams you two.” You offered them both a smile and they went into Lovino’s room for the night. When you went into yours you quickly changed and took down your hair brushing it for the night before you sighed. You just had to pray that nothing horrible would happen while they were visiting.
