Dear diary, today I'm 15 and I'm spending my birthday alone like I always do because papa Rome and fratello forgot my birthday. Even though we share the same birthday, somehow they remember fratello's but never mine...l hate it. Why can't anyone remember my birthday?.. I hate myself.. What does fellicano have I don't?.. I hate him... but I don't at the same time... what should I do? That's all today..
- Lovino Vargas
Lovino closed his diary, sighing as he looked at the muffin he brought for himself on his table. He took the muffin and ate it as tears started to appear in his eyes. As Lovino finished eating the muffin, Rome came to his room, looking serious as always. "Pack your things, Lovino," said Rome as he then closed the door, leaving Lovino confused for a few seconds before he started to pack his things. When he came downstairs with a suitcase, he saw an Italian soldier talking to Rome. Lovino was confused why there was a soldier. When he came to Rome he saw Feliciano looking sad, which is unusual for his energetic personality. "What's going on here..?" Rome looked at Lovino. "This is general Fiodor Parsolini and he's going to take you to a military base-" as soon Rome finished talking Lovino yelled "What? But it's my birthday! You can't send me there— and what about Feliciano?!" Rome looked at Lovino seriously "Feliciano is staying home. I only signed you into the military to learn how to respect other people." Without any arguing, Lovino went outside clearly upset. Then came the General who took him to his base. When they arrived, the General explained where everything was, then he showed Lovino his new room. It wasn't luxury, but a simple tent with a sleeping bag. Lovino hated it here not because he was at base but because it's unfair that he had to go while Feliciano stayed home. Later that day Lovino met a few guys and to his surprise they were pretty chill. Next morning Lovino had to do hard training like squads and more Lovino really hated it he just wanna sleep and clean instead of this and of course Lovino got picked up by high rankers they would laugh at him when he makes mistakes but Lovino didn't care he wanted to finish this military thing so he could go home. That night it was the first time sleeping in a bag so he couldn't sleep so he decided to sneak out and look around. As he was walking he smelled smoke nearby so he decided to follow the smoke to find who was cooking at 3am. Lovino laid on the dirt and saw a group of Germans talking but he couldn't hear because 1. He doesn't know German 2. He's too far to hear clearly. Lovino then slowly stood up and moved to leave but he stepped on a stick and it made a sound but luckily he was far away so he quickly ran back to the Italian base. When he came back he met with general and got into trouble for running somewhere without telling "Where have u been soldier lovino" lovino was quiet then said "i couldn't sleep so i took walk around.." General then gave lovino a warning and ordered him to walk back to his aunt. Lovino walked into his aunt and fell asleep. Lovino was sleeping when he heard pots banging against each other and that woke Lovino. Now every soldier was in line waiting for the general's orders. Lovino didn't want to pack but he didn't have a choice so he started to pack his things. About an hour later everyone was in line once again and waiting for general to give orders again "Is everyone done packing?" everyone nodded then the general started to walk and soldiers followed him. Lovino followed too but he wants Abandoned this whole military group and run away back home but he needs a plan to run away. They were walking through the forest so Lovino took the chance and sneaked quietly from group but he got caught so Lovino started to ran like never before while another soldiers were running after him. Lovino run through deep forest making other soldiers lose him, even though he lost them he continued to run just in case. After few minutes of running lovino triped on rock and fall into mud, his whole uniform was mudded so was his face but Lovino quickly stood up and cleaned his face. As he was cleaning his face he felt something on his shoulder, at first it was one of soldier's hand but it was actually a yellow bird so of course Lovino swooshed his arm to get bird of his shoulder. After while the bird flew away and Lovino continued to clean. He was about to walk away when he heared Germans behind him so he tried to run but those germans were faster and tied Lovino's arms and legs some cloth to block his screams. One german soldier picked lovino and put him on his shoulder as lovino was moving roughtly. German soldiers talked to each other as lovino was still moving but they didn't care as they continued to talk and laugh. Lovino was pissed that his plan didn't work so he started to kick that soldier who had him on his shoulder but even tho he kicked that soldier he didn't care at all and continued to have talk with his teammate.
