The wish
After years of feeling lonely and misunderstood, Feliciano made a wish. He wished for a better life and for finally meeting his soul mate. He didn't know what would happen after that night.. He never thought he would face evil ; at least not in person.
...
Feliciano's really proud about his job at the new coffee shop in town, sadly enough he can't get along with his colleagues very well. He can't stop thinking about reasons why people don't want to be friends with him ; or why he never had a boyfriend. He's definitely not shy or mean to anyone but they still seem to avoid him all the time. Writing is his favorite thing to do whenever he feels lonely, that's why he's always thinking about his stories at work ; will his main character finally fall in love with his best friend? How to improve his writing?
"Hello" A friendly voice brings him back to reality. He makes a mental note to stop daydreaming at work. He looks up and gasps upon seeing this tall handsome stranger wearing a long black coat , smiling at him.
"Oh I'm sorry I was just thinking.. erm can I help you sir?"
The blonde man looks around. "You tell me"
"Eh?" He asks confused. What a strange person.. He seems to be friendly though.
The blonde laughs "A cappuccino please"
"Sure" He quickly gets the young man his cappuccinco, his hands slightly shaking when handing it to him. He somehow feels a little awkward being around this guy.
"Thank you, can I sit here at the bar?"
"Yes of course"
"Have you been working here for a long time Feliciano?"
"Erm how did you know my name?" The Italian asks startled.
"It's on your name tag" He replies casually.
Right, how can you be this stupid Feliciano? He looks rather handsome and he seems to be flirting with you, which is a miracle, so why do you have to act this stupid and scare him away?
"Oh I'm sorry, that was really stupid. I've been working here for two months now. I've never seen you around"
"True, I've never been here before. I would have if I knew you were working here"
"Woh I .. eh... thank you"
The blonde just smiles and offers him his hand. "My name is Ludwig"
Feliciano shakes his hand, shivering. My God his hands are so cold
Feliciano tries not to stare at the stranger but fails to do so. His blonde hair is slicked back, his blue eyes are like ice, his long black coat looks quite sexy on him. He's attractive and mysterious at the same time, he could be a character in one of his stories.
He drinks from his cappuccino. "Ah tastes really nice and warm which is good because it's a little cold outside"
"I don't think it's that cold outside."
"I get cold easily" Yes you do. The Italian remembers his cold hands.
"Awh "This is so unlike you! You never flirt with anyone, what's going on with you?
"Feliciano, could you help Francis clean the tables?"
Why did his boss just interrupt him while he was having the time of his life?
"Yes of course" He nods at Ludwig who smiles back at him.
"Bye Ludwig"
When Feliciano returns Ludwig is already gone and he truly hopes he will ever see him again.
...
Feliciano hates the fact that he's one of the few people working at Sundays ; it's usually a quiet day except for the people who are going to church. Even a few priests visit the coffee shop every week after church ; Feliciano knows them by now and they're nice people.
"Feliciano?" A familiar voice.. soft and friendly. it's him
The brunette turns and smiles. "Ludwig! Nice seeing you again" You just sounded a little too happy
"It's nice to see you too. You look beautiful today"
You too...
"Eh thank you" The Italian stutters, not daring to look at him anymore.
"I want to go out with you someday"
"WHAT?"
Ludwig looks slightly worried.
"I'm sorry it's just that I'm surprised that's all.. but are you serious?"
"Yes I would like to take you out on a date, if you like"
"Really?" The brunette raises his eyebrows not believing him at all.
"Stop asking, I'm serious I promise ; I like you even though you seem to think that's really strange"
"But we just met!"
"Hmhm, but I'm lonely and you seem a bit lonely so why not? It's just a date to get to know each other a little better, nothing more. Just having a little fun.
I am the luckiest guy alive
"Ok yes that would be nice"
Ludwig writes his phone number down on a piece of paper and hands it to him just when an old man wants to order a cup of coffee. The man's really old and has some trouble walking so he almost falls and grabs Ludwig's shoulder to stay upright. He's one of those priests. Ludwig turns to face the old man and takes his arm to help him but the priest looks at Ludwig and immediately lets go of his shoulder. "You..?" The poor old man seems terrified of Ludwig.
"Excuse me? Are you feeling well?" Ludwig asks innocently.
The priest gasps and it's like he's choking.
"I can't-breath" He stutters before falling to the floor.
Feliciano quickly goes to helping him.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" He shouts.
"Maybe I should be going" Ludwig seems unaffected.
"Yes, but I'll call you soon I promise"
...
A few days later Feliciano finally found the courage to call Ludwig and ask him over for dinner. Going to a restaurant with him or something like that was too much too soon for him because he's still not used to having a friend. Ludwig happily accepted the offer and now Feliciano finds himself in the kitchen preparing some delicious Italian snacks.
He's dressed in dark blue pants and a neat, white shirt because he wants to look beautiful for Ludwig. Why ? He wanted to have dinner with you but that doesn't mean he wants to be your boyfriend! On the other hand it was quite obvious he likes you..
Just when Feliciano's finished lighting all the candles he receives a text message from Ludwig.
"Dear Feliciano, I'm waiting..."
The Italian almost drops his phone out of excitement and hurries to open the door for him.
"Ludwig! I'm glad you came"
"I'm really happy to see you Feliciano" He leans in and kisses him on the cheek. When he pulls back Feliciano's eyes are still closed and he almost faints. Is it possible to like a person TOO much? I guess it is
The blond follows him inside.
"How's the old man doing? Is he ok?"
They both sit down on the couch.
"No, it's really sad but the poor man passed away at the hospital.. a heart attack they said."
"I'm so sorry.. he seemed really afraid of me"
Feliciano shrugs his shoulders. "He was just really old, it had nothing to do with you. How can someone be afraid of you? You're so..."
Ludwig's waiting for him to finish his sentence and Feliciano feels really embarrassed.
"You're so beautiful.. which is also the reason why I keep asking myself why you like me" He finally admits.
"Why not? I'm no God or anything." His last sentence must have been really funny because it's the first time he has seen Ludwig laughing like that.
