Hello hello! The sequel to My Brother is finally here! With an equally terrible title!

I wouldn't say its completely necessary to read My Brother beforehand, but I think it lays out the groundwork for this story. But please, enjoy! Anyway, this story will follow Ludwig as he navigates through life. Thats kind of the best description I have at this moment, its a bit more episodic than My Brother.

(And I apologise for it being late- I am at university!)

Ludwig squeezed his hands a bit nervously. He had come to the restaurant far too early, 20 minutes too early, and was no sitting at the table on his own whilst drinking water.

He felt like a bit of an idiot.

Feliciano had chosen the place, and perhaps he over-thought that it would be difficult to find the restaurant, but it really wasn't. Was he too overdressed? It was a casual suit, perhaps maybe a shirt would've been fine…

Finally, he saw a face he recognised. Feliciano.

He stood up as Feliciano sat down at the table.

Feliciano smiled. "You're here already! I thought I was early, how long have you been here?" he asked.

"Not long." Ludwig lied, and smiled at Feliciano, who was nicely dressed in a shirt and trousers.

"You look nice" Feliciano said.

"Thanks" Ludwig said. "I thought I might be a bit overdressed." He said, smiling a bit.

"OH no, you look fine!" Feliciano said, his accent coming through. "Oh god, one time me and my friend in Italy went to a party, thinking it was a cross-dressing night, but turns out that was the next month! We had fun though, dressed like Victorian women amongst all these boringly dressed people."

Ludwig laughed a little. "That's quite funny"

"it was, and when my brother found out he called me such an idiot. This was when I was younger, though, and Facebook events weren't a thing." He said.

Ludwig nodded. "You have a brother?"

Feliciano nodded. "My twin, Lovino, but he's the older one by a few minutes. He's like me, only he's not, as he is grumpier. More sarcastic. I suppose he would fit in well here, with the English, haha!" Feliciano laughed. "One time my brother…"

Ludwig soon learned that Feliciano liked to talk. A lot. Ludwig didn't mind though, he enjoyed listening to Feliciano talk. He could listen to every word the man said.

"…. My grandfather laughed, but my parents weren't happy and wouldn't let us go outside for a week! Me and Lovino found it really funny though." Feliciano laughed, and so did Ludwig. Feliciano flittered his hands around. "Enough about me! What about you! I already know you have a brother, named Gilbert, right! Tell me about your childhood, in Germany!" Feliciano asked sweetly, face beaming.

This what was Ludwig was dreading.

"Oh well, I, erm" he began, before collecting his scrambled thoughts. "Well, I was put up for adoption, then grew up in foster and state care. Got an apprenticeship in banking, then moved to London about a year ago. I… didn't know I had a brother, well half-brother, until a few months ago." He said, in one go. He couldn't go into detail yet, could he? Could he? He wasn't sure how this was supposed to work. He felt like an abridged version of his life was best.

Feliciano's smile had fallen. "Well that's…different... sorry, I didn't know." Feliciano said, apologetically.

Ludwig shrugged it off, then smiled at Feliciano. "Its fine, really. I just haven't gotten used to telling people." He said.

Feliciano nodded. "Right, I get it! So, how did you and Gilbert get in touch?" he asked.

Ludwig recounted how he and Gilbert met. "I said goodbye to him last Sunday."

"Wow. That's really emotional. I had no idea, you seemed to me as if you knew each other for ages."

Ludwig smiled. He was glad that he and Gilbert appeared like that. "I'll take that as a compliment." He said.

The date continued, as they moved onto other things apart from the Ludwig's childhood.

The date ended, and the pair had been chatting for a few hours. The two went to part on the street.

"Goodbye, I'm only around the corner." Feliciano said.

"I'm getting the tube." Ludwig said. "It was nice meeting with you. Er, properly" he said, perhaps a bit too formally.

Feliciano smiled large, and Ludwig melted a bit. "You too." Feliciano said.

Feliciano looked at Ludwig, and Ludwig looked at Feliciano, and Feliciano leant in a bit. Ludwig was unsure of what Feliciano was trying to do.

Feliciano opened his eyes. He looked disappointed. "You don't want a kiss?" he asked.

Ludwig fidgeted. "Oh- I- errr" he stammered, and leant in. Feliciano pecked him on the cheek quickly, and he leant a way, and smiled awkwardly. "That was nice." He said.

Feliciano just smiled again. "Sure thing, see you at work!" Feliciano called, and walked away. Ludwig walked away, a huge blush on his face.

Ludwig got home, and opened his phone to see a text.

'HEY, HOW DID THE DATE WITH FELI GO :)'- Gilbert

Ludwig rolled his eyes at the emoticon, of course his brother would send them despite being a grown man. He replied back. 'I THINK IT WENT OK. I LIKED IT.'

'THAT'S GOOD, HOPE YOU GET UR 2ND DATE :)'

Ludwig nodded, and put his phone away.

He wondered if he should text Feliciano to say he enjoyed the date, or whether they should just meet up at work, or should wait a few days, or… he didn't want to come across as desperate.

He decided to text Feliciano.

'HOPE YOU GOT BACK SAFE'

Oh god, it seemed a bit harsh, better soften it, he thought, and added a smiley face. It wasn't his usual way of doing things, but it would have to do.

A few minutes later, his phone buzzed. I DID THANKS :) :) :) WE SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN SOMETIMES X

Ludwig went to bed ashamedly giddy that night.

"I thought that film was quite scary!" Feliciano said as they walked out of the cinema.

Ludwig nodded absently. "It was only the hunger games"

"But it was quite intense, don't you agree!?"

"I suppose it was" he agreed.

Feliciano smiled at him. "I suppose I like romance and drama and family rather than this sort of thing." He said.

Ludwig nodded, but was surprised to feel a hand threading its way into his hand. He looked at Feliciano startled.

Feliciano's smile fell a little. "This is okay, isn't it?", but withdrew his hand anyway.

"Oh no- its fine, I was just surprised." He said, and hesitantly grasped Feliciano's hand.

Feliciano grinned widely. "I'll make sure to ask next time." He said.

And so the two walked down the street and Ludwig let a small smile grow onto his face.

END CHAPTER

I think sometimes people forget that the first Hunger Games film is quite intense for its demographic. Seriously, children die in that film.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review if you liked and leave any constructive criticism you have!
