AN:Wrote a quick Germancest fic for Valentine's Day! I think the next chapter of Espionage will be out tomorrow or the day after. It's been a stressful month, but I'm pulling through. Anyway enjoy! (This was inspired by a picture I saw on Tumblr and a poem that went with it.


Wooden floor boards creaked with effort as someone walked across the floor. Well it was Ludwig's ceiling at the moment. The rugged blonde rested his head against the wooden post that he was chained to. It looked old and worn, but the wood wouldn't even splinter with Ludwig's greatest force.

The blonde had given in days ago. He didn't think he would ever be saved, and that broke his heart. That meant that his brother didn't think he was worth the time. That meant his brother didn't really love him like he thought he did. That meant Gilbert would leave him to die in the basement of some old wood cabin in the middle of nowhere.

The captors wanted money. And that is exactly what Ludwig's elder brother had. Ever since the albino took over their father's company. But the elder German's heart wasn't really in the company. He wanted Ludwig to take the job, or have himself and Ludwig sell the company and run off together like some love struck idiots.

Maybe they were.

Their incestuous relationship would be found out eventually so they just wanted to get away, but for the last few months Gilbert seemed distant and a few nights a month he disappeared all together. 'He's probably seeing someone else. Someone he could actually have a future with.' The thought made the blonde bitter and angry.

The trap door creaking open broke the young German out of his angry state. A tall, hick-looking, man walked down with a plate of food in one hand. Wurst. Ludwig's mouth watered. He was so hungry. The blonde tried to reach for it as it was set down, but his chains made the food just out of reach.

A rumbling laugh emanated from the man. "You either reach for it or beg."

Ludwig growled at the man and sank back to his post once more. He still had his anger which meant he still had his pride.

The man let out another bark of laughter. "Like a puppy refusing to do a trick. I think your brother has given up on you. A few more days and the boss says we're dumping your dead body into the lake." With that he exited the basement and slammed the trap door, laughing the whole way.

The young German's anger melted into despair once more. The man was right. Gilbert was never coming. He shut his blue eyes and imagined red ones. Soon the man was asleep.


Feral and tortured screams woke Ludwig from his sleep. At first he thought it was a nightmare, but the three men running down and locking the trap door behind them, was too real. Ludwig listened and tried to decipher what could have been upstairs to scare that many men. And where were the others?

The blonde heard the wooden ceiling creak with exertion, but they always did that.

Crack!

The young German jumped. Whatever was up there was so powerful that it cracked the floorboards just by walking upon them. And the three men standing not far from him had seen it and it terrified them. They had weapons at the ready and had them aimed at the stairs.

The thing upstairs stepped nearer to the trap door. As soon as it was directly over it…

CRACK!

The trap door imploded from the force of the creature atop it and collapsed inward on the stairs. The kidnappers immediately started firing their weapons up the stairs in hopes of hitting the beast. A ferocious roar ripped through the entire building making it seem like an imminent earthquake.

Not long after, a large form jumped from the stairs and seized one of the kidnappers. To Ludwig's sick joy, it was the asshole that had tormented him earlier. The man screamed until his esophagus was ripped from its place by a bloody maw.

The creature quickly jumped upon the next closet kidnapper and started shredding him into pieces with its talons and fangs. While the creature was busy with his ally, the last remaining kidnapper hid behind Ludwig; just in case he needed to get away he would throw the blonde into the path of the monster.

When the creature seemed satisfied with the mauled body it turned towards the last two survivors. Ludwig would be lying if he said he wasn't terrified. This creature looked like a giant wolf that stood on two legs making it at least eight feet tall, but it slouched in the basement only rising to about six and a half feet. Yet the wolf-like creature didn't seem to mind him. It wanted the men who had kidnapped him, he could feel that the thing would not harm him.

"Take the blonde! He has no use to us anymore! Just take his pathetic life and spare me!" The man shoved Ludwig forward, but the wolf-thing didn't seem to appreciate that so it lunged at the man behind the young German.

Ludwig had fallen to the floor but he quickly recovered and looked behind him just in time to see the beast rip out the man's heart. Now that all the men were dead the wolf gave a tremendous, victorious howl.

The basement walls were painted red with all the blood that had been shed. And the wolf that had seemed originally white was matted with the same red substance.

The beast looked down at its enormous paws and stared at the heart. It gave a human-like snort and held it out to Ludwig. The blonde jumped back a bit, but soon saw the look of hurt in those too human red eyes.

Red eyes.

"G-Gilbert?" Ludwig asked the beast disbelievingly.

The wolf nodded and dropped the heart, crawling his way over to his more human looking brother. The big snout nuzzled the younger's head tainting Ludwig's golden strains red.

Suddenly the wolf curled up into a ball and started snoring. The young man stared at the beast that was supposedly his brother, but decided he wouldn't get any answers until it woke up.


"Ludwig. West. Brother it's time to wake up." Ludwig opened his crystal blue eyes to meet cardinal red ones. Gilbert was hovering over him naked, but with a look of concern.

"Gilbert? How did you-" The blonde realized his wrists were not in chains anymore nor were they in the cabin, but out in the open surrounded by trees.

"I know I have a lot of explaining to do. So I'll do it quickly." The albino speedily explained how he had gotten bitten when he went camping a few months back and how he had changed for three days every month since. "I know I should've told you, but I was afraid you would leave me and-"

"Gilbert, shut up. You're an idiot. I would never leave you over something like that. It wasn't your fault." Ludwig gripped his brother's hand tightly.

The elder gave his younger sibling a suspicious look. "You think it's kind of cool don't you?" The blonde flushed in conformation. Gilbert smirked and kissed his brother fully on the lips. "How about next month you test it out with me?"

The blonde nodded. "That's great. But Gil, one question? How are we supposed to get home? Especially when you're naked?"

Blood is Red

Bruises are Blue

Werewolves like dead things

And I like you


R&R I'd like to know your thoughts and critiques but no flames people. Okay I'm changing this up a bit, there will now be a little epilogue thing after this when I get it typed up. Cause I know this end was rushed.
