Chapter 1: Prologue

"Ludwig, Ludwig!" I felt his arms flung around me and his grinning face pressed at my neck as I tried to look over my shoulder making him retreat a little to look at my face. "I love you!"

"Yeah." Trying to focus on my work I turned around again.

"Hey Ludwig...aren't you forgetting something?" I heard him ask, still clinging to me. Demanding, as always.

"I love you too, Feli." Giggling a little, he let go of me and went doing whatever he was up to. At time given, probably making pasta for our lunch.

Now about earlier, don't get me wrong. I really do love him, even if he is a bit annoying at times. And can't do anything right except cooking and drawing. And lives in his own world. But at the same time, he's the only one with whom I would put up, being as incompetent as he is. Also, for such a long time too. We had been living together for almost four years now, ever since he moved into my house.

It's weird how we were never really friends and never really lovers. And if you are thinking something along the lines of "friends with benefits" right now, you are as far off as you could possibly be. It's nothing like that, we just have a…complicated relationship, that's all. At least from my point of view. But since I hadn't really been in one before, I guess that doesn't mean much, does it?

As I continued with my work, I heard Feliciano humming a song happily from the kitchen. Something about dancing, singing and sky, typically. Not giving it a second thought, I looked back at my work sighing. What has to be done, has to be done. And if there was only a pile of papers less, it could be even enjoyable. But for once I found it hard to concentrate on all the paperwork, and my mind wandered off again.
Knowing and living with Feliciano changed me in many ways. Since I meet him, I actually made some friends, and with desire to do so too. Well, that's mostly just Kiku and I hadn't seen him in years, literally. But still, that's a big change for the asocial workaholic I was before. And even if it doesn't seems so, I'm very grateful to him for that. Over the years I gained great respect for him. For maintaining that sincere, happy smile through all the times, takes stronger character than anyone would have thought. Some might think that it comes naturally to him, but really, it doesn't. Or I'm just over thinking things again. Lately, I do that even more often than usually. I saw his tears, his smiles, his everything and that's something no-one else before him was willing to share with me.

Finally giving up on my work, I leaned back in my chair, hands behind my neck. From the kitchen, homely smell of pasta could be smelled, always wonderful for the senses, as Feli was nothing but a master cook. Homely, heh…Few years ago, it seems so far away now, I would only think of wurst and sauerkraut as homely. Not pasta. Or crazy Italian in my bed. Not that I mind it, I never really did, and with that I'm not referring to pasta. It startled me at first, who wouldn't feel at least a bit awkward suddenly sleeping in the same bed as someone you don't even know all that well. But with time I just adjusted to it, and later on even came to like it. Well it would be weird, to say, if I wouldn't, given our present relationship. Sometimes I wonder, if he back then even thought twice about doing it. With his culture being oh-so very open, I couldn't help but ask myself if it wasn't a common practice to sleep with each other at his place.

See now what I meant, when I said I'm over thinking everything lately? But more and more often, I can't help myself but to ponder, if getting together with Feliciano, was a mistake.

A/N: Hello everybody! So, this is the (extremely short)prologue of my very first story! Hope you liked it, at least a lil bit. Now, I would just like to explain some things here. First, this is AU, therefore human names will be used. Second, it's going to be in Ludwig's point of view and so far I have no plans on changing it. Moreover, as you can see it's written in first person, which is pain-in-the*ss to write, so don't be too strict on me. ^^; I can't remember anything more to say right now, and I believe you don't want to listen to me for another hour anyway, soooo~ enjoy life =)

Reviews are greatly appreciated.
