I wasn't satisfied with how the camping-story came out, but I did like the idea of Feliciano being in an abusive relationship with Umberto. So I decided to change the story. (I'm sorry for the readers who liked the camping story better)
Summary: Feliciano works at a fastfood restaurant and meets Ludwig who's a new employee. Ludwig happens to be a member of a skinhead/neonazi gang but that doesn't stop Feliciano from falling in love with him. Meanwhile Feliciano's in a relationship with Umberto, but Umberto doesn't treat him well. I know it's a complicated summary but I'm sure you'll understand when you start reading. I really hope you all like it. Please let me know by leaving a review.
Enjoy reading!
Feliciano really hates his job. He works at a Burger king restaurant, trying to safe some money to pay for his studies. His family is really poor and Feliciano's hoping for a better future becoming a student. Of course he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life making hamburgers and french fries and getting yelled at by customers.
He lives with his older brother, Lovino and their grandfather in a small house in the worst neighborhood . There are a lot of criminals out on the streets and he doesn't feel safe at all. He's got an older boyfriend, Umberto, who doesn't treat him well. He loves him but Umberto's an alcoholic who beats him up whenever he gets angry. Feliciano doesn't want to break up with him because Umberto's his only friend and he somehow still loves him.
When they emigrated from Italy to the United States, after their parents died from a car accident, they had trouble fitting in but now they're used to speaking another language.
Feliciano's cleaning the counter, wiping it with a cloth that may be even dirtier than the counter itself, when his boss is coming in followed by a tall young man.
"Feliciano? Let me introduce you to Ludwig Beilschmidt, he's one of our new employees and you're going to help him for today. Show him the whole restaurant, also the kitchen and tell him what to do. It's his first day so be patient, ok?"
Feliciano nods. "Yes sir , I will"
"Thank you" His boss replies before leaving them on their own.
"Hi, my name is Feliciano Vargas"
"Ludwig Beilschmidt" The guy replies almost whispering and they shake hands.
He seems to be a very shy person. Feliciano notices he's wearing a long sleeve with the highest collar he has ever seen, not showing any skin at all. He himself is wearing only a thee and short on this hot summersday.
"Aren't you feeling a little hot wearing those clothes?"
"No" Is his short reply without looking up.
"Well ok then.. Why don't you go clean all the tables?" He hands him a clean cloth.
"Ok" He takes the cloth from him, their hands brushing and goes to work. Feliciano watches him from behind the counter. He's got nice short blonde hair, a handsome face and a nice posture. His legs and arms are skinny but it looks like he's got some nice abs covered by his shirt. He's leaning over one of the tables, wiping it carefully and his fingers are long and thin, he could play the piano very well. His shoes are the only thing that betray his casual clothing, black sneakers with red shoelaces. They make him look young and playfully. If he would have been single, he would definitely ask him out.
"I'm done" Feliciano jumps upon hearing his soft voice, he didn't notice him standing right beside him.
"Oh eh.. since it's your first day and it will be a very quiet day because it's Monday, you can have a break, you can have lunch at the canteen or go outside enjoying the weather for thirty minutes." Feliciano states happily.
"Ok, thanks" He turns and goes outside. The Italian finds himself staring at Ludwig again, this time through one of the large windows.
Ludwig lights a cigarette, sitting on one of the benches in front of the restaurant. A few minutes later Feliciano looks at him again and suddenly he's surrounded by a small group of people. They're all man, some of them bald headed and they're all covered in tattoos. White Power tattoos...
Feliciano starts paying attention, afraid they might hurt him, but they're just talking and laughing instead.
They must know each other. It's the first time he sees Ludwig smile and hears him raising his voice instead of whispering.
Thirty minutes later Ludwig comes back inside.
"Your friends?"Feliciano asks curiously.
"No" Ludwig shakes his head, looking almost innocent.
Feliciano decides not to push the subject, he'll find out about it later. "Oh"
...
Like Feliciano expected, it was a really quiet day. It's four pm when his boyfriend, Umberto comes in.
"Umberto!" He smiles. "Hi sweetheart, I decided to come visit you at work because I really missed you."
"That's so sweet of you"
"Who is he?" Umberto asks, pointing at Ludwig who's serving a plate filled with hamburgers to some costumers.
"He's new, his name is Ludwig."
"Oh" Umberto seems to be jealous like usual. He always expects Feliciano to flirt with every handsome guy.
Ludwig's coming their way, two hamburgers still left on the plate.
"Feliciano , I don't know..." Ludwig can't finish his sentence because Umberto's taking a step back on purpose, bumping into him, his elbow connecting with his nose with great force and causing the blonde to drop the plate. "Who ordered this... ah..." Ludwig's getting on his knees, collecting the plate and the hamburgers.
"Ah I'm really sorry" Umberto says without trying to hide his smile.
Ludwig looks up at him, his blue eyes filled with hatred but he doesn't say anything. His nose is bleeding slightly.
Feliciano feels sorry for Ludwig but he doesn't dare to confront Umberto with it. Umberto easily loses his temper and Feliciano doesn't want to get beaten up tonight.
"I'll throw these in the bin and ask the kitchen staff for some new ones." The blonde states wiping his nose before disappearing into the kitchen.
"I'll go check on him, he looked hurt. See you tonight , ok?"
Umberto sighs. "The boy is fine, it's just a nosebleed."
"I don't want my boss to get angry, he wants me to watch him."
"Ok. See you tonight sweetheart" Umberto smiles and kisses him. Feliciano pulls away and watches him leave the restaurant, then he goes to the canteen finding Ludwig on a chair holding a tissue against his nose.
"Are you ok?" He asks softly.
"Yes, it's nothing."
"Yes it is, let me check" Feliciano starts pulling Ludwig's hand holding the tissue away but Ludwig pulls away.
"Don't touch me ok?" He snaps.
Feliciano quickly lets go of him, taken aback by his sudden outburst.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to help you"
"I told you it's nothing. Your boyfriend's a nice guy." He says sounding sarcastic and leaves the room.
The Italian sighs deeply. Ludwig's a very complex guy.
...
At six o'clock Feliciano opens his locker and starts collecting his stuff. He and Ludwig are the only ones who have to work until six, the others have to work till nine o'clock today.
He didn't talk to Ludwig after what happened. Ludwig's coming in, wearing a tee this time. His arms are covered in the same kind of tattoos his 'friends' have. He must have thought Feliciano already left because he seems startled.
"Bye" He says and leaves immediately.
"Bye Ludwig" He whispers, looking after him.
