((A/N So heres the start of a new…well you could call it a story but it really isn't. Its more like an extended one shot. I just felt like I needed to break it down. As usual, review and favourite!))

"Ludwig!"

The italian came bounding into the Germans office. He smiled at Ludwig and sat down on his desk wich was filled with paperwork and pens. There was a half eaten sandwich on the edge of the desk and Feliciano picked it up.

"Ludwig. Did you want me to make some pasta or a pizza?"

Ludwig sighed. He gad so much paperwork to do that he probably wouldnt have any time to eat today.

"I dont mind."

"okay! Ill make some pizza for a change!"

Bounding out of the room, he looked so happy. When did he ever have time to fill out his forms. The only form Ludwig had ever seen him sign was the one for their alliance. He sighed and turned back to the financial report.

More flower. He sprinkled the white powder on the tabletop and rolled out the dough. It was nice and spongy, and his pizza was almost ready to be served. He topped the dough with fresh tomato sauce, cheese and some pepperoni before adding another helping of cheese again. Placing the raw pizza on the tray, he slid it into the oven to cook for ten minutes.

"Ludwig! Dinner is ready!"

He swiftly got up from his office chair and walked towards the table, smiling slightly. He loved his cooking. It was one of the few things that bought him out of his work head

"luddy. Do you like the pizza?" Looking up from his delicious Italian meal, he smiled.

"There is never a bite of yours that i dont enjoy, mein italien. Please never leave. I dont know what I would do without your cooking" he chuckled.

"Okay. I promise I will never leave."

Feliciano smiled and picked up the dishes to put in the dish washer. He was about to sit next to ludwig to watch the soccer game when the doorbell rang.

"Ve~ I'll get it!"

Feliciano ran to the door to be greeted by his brother.

"oh. Ciao frattello! You wanna come in?"

Lovino stared at his brother with his grumpy face. He stepped in and sat down on the couch, pulling Feliciano to sit down with him. Staring at the German, heopened his mouth to speak.

"Me and Toni were speaking. Frattello, youre going to stay with us."

"Frattello! Why?!"

He sighed. He hated this potato bastard. He just wanted to protect his brother.

"Its for the best. Come on. Ill pack your stuff for you."

Grabbing hold of his wrist, he pulled him up the stairs to pack his clothes. Ludwig was still sat on the couch, suprised at what had just happened. He got up, finished putting the dishes away and managed to get out to walk the dogs, slamming the door angrily behind him as he left.

"Toni's house is big, so you can have your own room perminantly."

He huffed and placed his bag down on the big double bed. Sure the bed was nicer than Ludwigs or his, but he would miss Ludwigs company for sure.

That night, Lovino, Antonio and Feliciano watched a movie. It was an Americain romcom about something Feli didnt really care about. He had gotten out his iron cross and was twirling it around with his fingers.

"whats wrong Feliciano? Do you not want to watch the movie?

"I'm going to bed."

And with that, he got up and left.

When he got upstairs, he bellyflopped onto the covers and the tears came falling out. The cross was all he had left of Ludwig.

When the movie had ended, Antonio had told Lovi to apologise to his brother. He stood at the top of the staircase and could see his brother in the room. He headed towards him, doubting he'd be any help in this situation.

"whats that Feli?"

"its the iron cross. Its the highest award for being in the German army. Ludwig gave it to me."

"can I see it?"

He held his hand open and Feliciano paused for a couple of seconds before giving it to him.

"Youre not in the army any more.

"But I like it."

"No, Frattello, you dont need it!". With one swift move, he bought his arm back and threw it out of the open window and onto the grass below.

"I hate you! GET OUT! NOW! Please. Just go..."
