'It's late. Why isn't Luddy home yet?'
Feliciano sat awake, the clock ticking and the glowing screen of his phone stinging his eyes. 2am, Ludwig rarely left for this long, and he would always tell Feliciano if he did.
The blond was supposed to have returned at five! Five PM, Ludwig finished work earlier on a Friday, and would usually be setting dinner on the table by the time feliciano got back at 7:30.
But today feliciano didn't come home to the smell of Ludwig making dinner, he didn't come home to Ludwig at all. He came home to an house that, save for the dogs, was completely empty. Ludwig hadn't answered the phone when his Italian husband had tried calling him. He hadn't replied to the texts that Feliciano had sent to him. He wasn't at work- Feliciano had called there as well. Gilbert hadn't seen him, he wasn't at his most frequented bar, and there was no traffic on the roads at all!
...so where was he?
The brunette hugged his knees to his chest, refreshing the app with his emails and checking for new calls or texts. Sat on the windowsill in the bedroom he shared with his suddenly missing spouse, feliciano rested his cheek against the cool glass of the window. His phone in one hand and rosary beads in the other, he did all he could. He prayed.
A/N: This is just the preface to a Demons AU story I'm working on. Will try to actually finish this one, heh.
Feliciano and Ludwig Vargas are married in this one. Since Lud doesn't have an official last name I just put his pride aside and let him take Feli's.
