Song: I Hate Everything About You
Artist: Three Days Grace

Some days, Ludwig lusted; others he despised. One day, he would be head over heals in love with him, and the next, he hated him with burning passion. No matter what, his feelings for a certain Lovino Vargas went in a circle, and it irritated him. How can he hate someone he loves? Why did he love someone he hated? No doubt, Lovino felt the same, going through the came circle as Ludwig. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. An endless cycle.

"I hate you." Ludwig blurted one night, as the two relaxed on a bed. There clothes were shed long ago, and the fiery passion had burned out. All that was left was the silence, as the two were wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Lovino blinked at Ludwig's statement. The Italian's eyes moved from watching the ceiling to meet Ludwig's icy blues. He smirked at the German, something Ludwig hadn't really expected. Though, with Lovino, he really should have. But he didn't.

"That's fine. I hate you too." The Italian's tan shoulders lifted in a nonchalant shrug. It was as if he didn't even care about Ludwig, and the things they would do together. It was as if, to Lovino, Ludwig was expendable. And really, if Ludwig thought about it, he was.

The words shouldn't have stung, they shouldn't have. After all, Ludwig returned the Italian's feelings of burning hatred. But they did sting. The words stung in such a painful manor, and Ludwig did not like it. Not one bit. It hit him deep, how much he cared about what Lovino thought about him.

"Then why do we do this?" Ludwig questioned in utter confusion. "We have these little meetings full of... full of passion and desire, yet we hate each other. Why?"

"Simple." Lovino said, another shrug following after. "Because I love you."

Relief. Ludwig found relief in those words. Though the Italian's words were confusing, he was positively sure of one thing: Lovino loved him, and hated him. Lovino did both at the same time, as Ludwig did. The two hated each other, but could never go on without each others company.

"How can you love me and hate me at the same time?" Ludwig asked, inching closer to the nude Italian.

Another shrug. "I just do. And I think you can answer your own damn question. I mean, you feel the same, don't you? Because if you didn't, then why the hell would you be here?"

"I do feel the same," Ludwig nodded. "but I still cannot grasp it myself. Nor do I understand why I come back to you time after time. It's infuriating."

"Your problem, not mine." Lovino grumbled, laying back on the bed, his perfect olive green eyes glaring daggers at the ceiling.

"I hate you." Ludwig said again, pulling the Italian closer to him.

"I love you." Lovino smirked up at Ludwig.

"I love you." Ludwig retorted, his arms pulling Lovino even closer.

"I hate you." Lovino said before pressing his lips to Ludwig's.

Yes, Ludwig loved the fiery Italian. He loved to hate him; he hated to love him. The German hated everything about Lovino, yet there he was, loving the boy with all his heart. It was strange, wasn't it? But Ludwig could care less, as long as he was hated back just like he was loved back.

"I hate everything about you." Lovino said, pulling away. "Why the fuck do I love you?"

"You know I have no answer to that. But don't worry, the feeling is mutual." Ludwig answered, his voice loving.

"It better be." Lovino smirked, "Now shut the fuck up and kiss me."

"Another thing I hate about you: you're so demanding. But if you insist." Ludwig grinned, and bent down once more, claiming his lover's lips.

"And you," Lovino said in between chaste kisses. "always have to point out the obvious."

"But of course, Lovino. We do hate each other, so I have to continue doing the things you hate, right?" Ludwig smirked at Lovino, who grinned back.

"Right."
