A/N: Okay, this is an inspiration of the moment and so I'm not really sure how it ended up, I got the idea last night and I have like 2 or 3 other story ideas coming and will be posted up when I can, I'll update my other stories as soon as I can. Those of you reading How Did This Happen? That one will be updated in two days tops. Now please enjoy this FF. I was inspired by Italy, Tinker Bell and Tomatoes. Also this chapter shall be (Well I think it is) very boring, I'm sorry but next one will be better.
Ludwig woke up to the sound of his shrilled alarm clock, he slammed his hand down and shut it off; he looked around at the early sunlight streaming into his room from the open blinds. "Another day." He mumbled softly as he swiftly got up from his bed, quickly brushing his blond hair up with his fingers as he made his way into the bathroom.
Ludwig had, to say the least, an average life, he was a twenty-three year old man living alone and working in the government's top secret laboratories and was the best at his job; see just an average guy with a normal life.
He washed his face up and brushed his teeth, there was a light knock on the bedroom door, he went over and opened it; a young red head woman stood in the entrance. "Morning Mr. Beilschmidt." She said as she entered and started making the bed, the German man just grunted softly a morning to the housekeeper and went to get his work clothes which consisted of a long sleeve white formal shirt, a dark blue tie, a black sweater-vest, dark blue slacks and black leather shoes.
He quickly got dressed and got his suitcase before heading out his bedroom, he grabbed his keys and was out the door; he didn't eat much so breakfast wasn't important to him. He headed out the door and looked around, his house was between two hotels; it was a two story house made of brick. It wasn't much but it was the house he grew up in after his family arrived from Germany and it felt safe, it was like home to him. Ludwig made it into his garage and quickly got into his car, he put the key into the ignition but nothing happened when he turned it, he tried again but still nothing, Ludwig sighed as he gave an angry grunt. "Mein gott!" He muttered angrily in German as he got out of the car, he ran a hand though his hair and rested his finger tips onto the forehead as he rubbed them in a circle and tried to think of what to do now.
"I'll have to go ask Gilbert to let me use his car." He said to himself, he shuttered softly at the thought; his older brother Gilbert was, to say the least, strange and annoying; he always tried to patch things up with Ludwig; well when you are ten years old and the only family you ever see is your older thirteen year old brother, and even he doesn't care about you, a gap starts to make itself between the two of you. Right now they had a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between the two of them.
Ludwig brushed some annoying hairs out of his face and started walking, Gilbert lived in a house outside the city limits and it would take Ludwig twenty minutes to get there but late was better than not arriving. To say it was strange to see an angry German man in formal clothes walking fast down the sidewalk and looking ready to kill, would be an understatement. People looked at him strange but he brushed off the looks, all of a sudden he noticed the large, overgrown park across the street and he vaguely remembered Gilbert showing him a short cut through it to his house. Ludwig was glad he remembered as he quickly made his way through the street and pushed open the rusty little gate; it squeaked from lack of oil and from remaining shut for so many years.
Ludwig looked around at the rich green plants surrounding him, it gave him a strange sense of peace and tranquility; but he liked it. He started walking quickly in hopes of arriving to his older brother's house as fast as possible; the strange silence and calmness of the forest seemed to make him feel less stressed and worried, the trees were tall and they seemed to form a canopy, the light that filtered though the leaves gave the park a light green light to it. It had been a long time since he was able to just relax and feel peaceful. "Strange, I've never been to a place that had an effect on me like this one." He said to himself, the park seemed to have been abandoned and the trail was over grown by wild plants, it seemed more like a forest than a park.
Suddenly something caught his eye, something bright red flew past him at a surprisingly fast speed and quickly was followed by black birds; Ludwig watched as suddenly the bright red thing hit a tree and fell to the ground, it was quickly attacked by the birds; something inside Ludwig seemed to snap and he hit the birds with his suitcase, they quickly flew away and left the injured thing on the ground. Ludwig looked at it, it seemed to glow in the shaded park; Ludwig crouched down and took it in his hands, it seemed to be some type of winged insect and its wing was punctured, most likely by the crows; Ludwig couldn't really tell what type of insect it was by the lack of light in the park/forest but it didn't really matter since it was more dead than alive.
"Why is the world did I save this…thing, I shouldn't be worrying about things like this at a time like this." He said to himself as he shook his head softly, he set the insect on a nearby patch of flowers and left. Not too long afterwards the park came to an end and right in front of it was Gilbert's house, Ludwig quickly made his way to the house, which rested in the middle of five acres of green grass and trees. Ludwig looked at his watch as he realized he had only fifteen minutes left before being late to work. "Gilbert, it's me Ludwig; I need a favor but I'm in a hurry." He said loudly as he knocked on the door. Suddenly the door opened to reveal a girl with short blonde wavy hair, she wore a pair of glasses crookedly on her face and had large violet eyes that looked at Ludwig, she was only two inches shorter than Ludwig, he noted. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I was wondering if a man by the name of Gilbert Beilschmidt lives here?" The girl looked at him and gave him a small smile before nodding.
"Gilbert, someone is at the door for you." She said, she spoke so soft that even Ludwig had trouble hearing her and doubted that Gilbert heard it, but a few moments later Gilbert came to the door in a T-shirt and jeans.
"West, what a surprise to see you this early…or even here. What's up?" The white haired man in the doorway said. West was an old nickname Gilbert gave Ludwig since Ludwig was born in West Germany and Gilbert in East, it never died away but it didn't bother Ludwig. The blond girl smiled softly as she picked up something small and white off the floor, Ludwig first thought it was a dog but quickly realized it was a polar bear cub; the girl walking back into the house."Gilbert, I need to borrow your car; mine died on me this morning and I have ten minutes to get to work."
Ludwig said quickly with a look that said he wasn't in the mood to play games; Gilbert got what his brother was trying to say and nodded, he loved playing games with Ludwig but right now didn't seem like a good time. "Fine." He said as he nodded and turned his head into the house. "Birdie, could you get me the car keys?" He said, Ludwig didn't hear a response but it seemed he got a respond; soon the girl came over with what looked like a white take out box in one hand and the keys in the other, a small yellow bird sat in her hair near a strange erected curl that fell right next to her face; to Ludwig it seemed so strange but he didn't say anything.
"Um…Ludwig, please take this; it's some pancakes that I made, it didn't look like you got anything to eat so take this." The blond girl said as she handed him the box. Ludwig took it and looked at it surprised, why had she given him this?
"Danke." He said in his native tongue to the girl, she smiled before handing the keys to Gilbert. The crimson eyed man smiled at her and quickly gave her a quick peck on the lips, she turned red and hid her face; Gilbert just snickered softly at her embarrassment, to him it was adorable.
Ludwig softly cleared his throat to get the girl's attention "I'm sorry but I never got your name." Ludwig said as he looked at the girl, she was wearing a red hoodie with a white maple leaf on the front and faded jeans, she looked at him then back at Gilbert and finally at Ludwig again.
"It's Matthew." Ludwig looked at her confused.
"Well that's an interesting name for a girl but it's nice to meet you Matthew." He said as he gave her a small polite smile. She blushed and lowered her head as she stared down at the ground, Ludwig felt a little guilty for saying that to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that in a bad wa-"
"I'm not a girl…I'm a guy." She said as she cut Ludwig's apology short, she ran a hand over her chest to show she was really a man. Ludwig's eyes widened a little as he realized, Matthew turned away and headed back into the house. "I'm going to go feed Kumalin." He said softly before vanishing back inside, Gilbert looked at his younger brother and sighed, he resisted the temptation to smack him.
"Okay, well now that you have made my boyfriend depressed, let me go show you the car." He said without any humor in his voice, Ludwig was going to say something but kept his mouth shut and followed. Gilbert quickly showed him the car and pulled some things out before handing him the keys; Ludwig put his suitcase next to him and got into the car. "I'm sorry about calling Matthew a woman." Ludwig said as he adjusted the mirrors and seat.
Gilbert looked at him and sighed. "Its fine, it wasn't your fault but Mattie does get depressed when people mistake him for a chick; he's an awesome guy but he does tend to look feminine since he doesn't have much muscle in his body and he has the body of a girl." Gilbert said before patting his the top of the old mustang with his hand. "Well you can make it up to him and me by coming to have dinner with us tonight after work, that'll make him and me happy." Gilbert said, Ludwig looked at him; Gilbert always tried his best to close that gap that was created between the two of them, no matter how many times Ludwig hit, punch, kicked and pushed him away he always came back. Ludwig admired that about his older brother, he would never tell him but still he admired the white haired male.
"Fine, if that'll make Matthew happy; I'll come over tonight and have dinner with you." Ludwig said before giving his brother a rare smile.
"Awesome, I'll make Blutwurst with fried potatoes and onions, and we'll drink beer till we explode." He yelled out, Ludwig felt uneasy at his brother going to try to cook; Gilbert seemed to sense the distress in his younger brother and smiled. "Don't worry West, Mattie is an awesome cook and will be helping me so I don't burn the house down." He said with a smile. Ludwig smiled and said goodbye to his older brother before pulling away, he smiled softly to himself as he drove off.
He finally arrived at his work building, there was a whole lot of shit he had to go though just to get into the parking lot; he passed all of them and had to even get Gilbert's car checked out to see someone didn't plant a bomb on it or a tracking device, or something like that; All they really found was a pair of fuzzy dice stuck in the axel. Ludwig quickly park and got his stuff out of the car before locking it and running into the building, all of the workers had to be scanned to see if they were carrying anything dangerous and pass by a metal detector; sometimes Ludwig wondered why he even worked here but quickly he got his answer as soon as he entered the underground laboratories; he was greeted by all of the workers who worried he wouldn't come in today. Ludwig had this job because he was best at what he did; any mutated genes that needed a solution or a cure, most of the time he was the one who found it.
Not only did they work with common problems but from time to time they got the very strange things, like tissue found in a crashed space ship or hair from some unknown creature; Ludwig didn't believe in mystical creatures or anything super natural but he was good at his job and he made good money from it, so he wasn't complain.
"You're late, Ludwig." A voice came from behind him as he pulled on his white lab coat; he turned to see Arthur Kirkland; bossy, over controlling, British brat, true believer in the supernatural, fairy whisperer and Ludwig's boss.
"I know that I'm late, but only by five minutes; my car died on me and I had to go borrow my older brother's car." Ludwig said before going to retrieve his folder and lab notebook; Arthur just glared at him and turned away.
"Don't be late again, you might be the favorite of the superiors but you're still my worker." Arthur before going off, Ludwig just sighed and shook his head softly. He made his way over to an empty spot and started looking over the research in the folder, all of a sudden there was a loud crash; Ludwig looked up to see a guy with dirty blonde hair on the floor with glass and water all around him. Ludwig went over to help him, he recognized the boy as Alfred Jones; a senior in high school and one of the un-paid intern. Why in the world did they let high school student into a top secret facility like this one was beyond Ludwig's understanding, he was glad that it was only DI water rather than chemicals.
"Alfred, you clumsy git!" Came Arthur's voice, he crossed his arms at the eighteen year old boy but soon just sighed. "Are you alright?" He asked as he held a hand to him, oh yeah now Ludwig remembered why they had un-paid high school interns; Alfred was Arthur's borderline illegal crush and to have the American boy close, Arthur convinced the superiors to allow high school students to intern here. Ludwig sighed as he started mopping up the water; Arthur helped Alfred up and noticed he had been cut by the glass. "Come on you bloody twit, let heal you up." He said as he took the boy's hand and lead him out of the laboratories; Ludwig just looked down at the glass and water, soon enough the custodians arrived and took over. Ludwig returned to his research and let out a almost silent sighed, it seemed today would go on like any other day; he was stuck in this constant, boring rut. Well it was life, his life and he couldn't do anything about it.
