Okay! This is one of my first fanfictions! I was inspired to write this because I was listening to a song and I thought it would be a great idea. Enjoy!
Ludwig was lying in bed, and he could not sleep. He looked up at the ceiling and just stared. The window in his room was slightly open and there was a light breeze entering the room. Ludwig glanced at the window and saw the stars. It was at times like this that he appreciated living in a rural area. He enjoyed the quietness and tranquility of the countryside. His house was surrounded by large fields of flowers, grass, and crops from nearby farmers. It was everything he could ask for. He was lost in his appreciation when suddenly bright light from outside flashed in his room, and he heard a loud boom. Jumping out of bed, Ludwig pulled away the thin curtains to look outside. He saw a faint glow and smoke coming from the nearby corn field. Ludwig put on his jacket and snatched a flashlight from a drawer in his room. He slid on his boots and headed outside. He walked across the dirt road and into the darkness of the corn field. The light was barely visible as he entered the maze, but as he grew closer, he saw more of this faint white light and smelled the smoke. He began to hear a quiet and high pitched noise coming from the glowing.
Suddenly, Ludwig felt afraid. What would he be seeing? Everything felt heavy as he stepped closer and he could hear his heart pound in his chest. When he finally reached the crash site, his mind went blank for a few seconds, and then he snapped out of it. Was this a joke? What exactly was he looking at? Right in front of him was some sort of spaceship, or, judging from its size, an escape pod. It was metallic and cylindrical in shaped with a small and circular window. Ludwig saw lights flashing from the inside and cursed himself for not bringing his gun. Even if this was a joke, it was not funny at all. The door from the pod opened, and the smoke flooded out into the air. When it cleared, Ludwig saw what was inside. He saw... a person? They looked to be sleeping and they were strapped to a seat in the pod. Their hair was a reddish pink with a long curl that stuck out and their skin was orange. They wore a dark teal vest and skinny black pants that extended to be shoes. They were rather androgynous as well. Now Ludwig was just irritated and confused. This joke was going too far. He entered the apps and approached the strange person. Ludwig was unsure of how he could wake this person up. Were they part of the joke too? He didn't know. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he gently shook their shoulder. The person didn't react, and Ludwig became worried. He wasn't so sure if this was a joke anymore. He shook them again, this time more roughly. They didn't exactly wake up, but they slightly reacted with a twitch of the eyes. A few seconds later, large yellow eyes flashed open at him. Their expression was of terror and they squeaked and squirmed in their seat until they unbuckled themselves and fell face-down on the floor. Ludwig could only stare in shock until he decided to ask, "Are you okay?"
The person's reaction was delayed, and they seemed to be staring past Ludwig before they focused on his eyes and whispered, "Where am I?"
Okay. Now Ludwig knew that this person wasn't completely okay. They had no idea where they were. He rubbed his forehead and answered,"You're in Germany. Who are you?"
This strange person appeared very confused and after a few seconds, they began to cry. "Germany? I have no idea what that is? I-I-I thought I'd be landing on a place that I was familiar with! Now I'm lost and my brother and grandfather have no idea where I am! I don't even know if they're alive! Oh tell me, what should I do?"
Okay, Now Ludwig was pretty sure that this person needed help. Or they were just a really good actor. They appeared very distraught, but Ludwig still asked,"You still didn't answer my question. Who are you?", and after a few seconds he decided to add,"And why are you here?"
They were not crying as much as they were before, but Ludwig still heard sniffles. Their eyes had that weird staring past him look again, but he did answer. "My name is... Feliciano. Feliciano Vargas... and I am the grandson of the great Roma Vargas. I was on my grandfather's ship, and suddenly we were attacked by an unknown adversary. He sent me and my brother into an escape pod and that's the last I've heard of any of them. I really hope they're okay, because if they aren't, well, I don't know what I'll do! Can you help me?"
Ludwig could not believe what he was hearing. This was really troublesome. What should he do? He was just about to walk away when he heard sirens coming from the end of the corn field and froze in his tracks. Crap. He really did not want to deal with the police so late. He quickly grabbed the wrist of this strange man, he assumed this from his name, and pulled him out of the corn field. Feliciano quickly grabbed a strange metallic box and then willingly followed Ludwig. They ran too fast for Ludwig to think about what he was doing until he reached his house. When he stepped inside, he grabbed his gun that he kept hidden in a small drawer near the entrance and pointed it at Feliciano. Feliciano gave him a blank stare and asked,"What's that?" He stepped closer.
Ludwig stepped back and shouted,"Listen here, Feliciano! I don't know if that's your real name or if what you're telling me is true, but I hope you know that if you get caught, you're in big trouble. I suggest you leave, or else I shoot you."
"You'll sh-shoot me?" Feliciano gasped. "What did I do?
Please don't shoot me, I didn't do anything wrong! I just want to get home and see my family! Oh please please please don't shoot me!" He began to cry again, and Ludwig began to pity him. He really shouldn't be dealing with things like these so early in the morning. Feliciano looked so pathetic begging not to be shot, that Ludwig actually put his gun down.
"Alright" Ludwig said,"I'll let you stay the night. There is a guest bedroom on the first left of the hall. Tomorrow you better leave." And with those few words, he walked away and disappeared into his room.
"Thank you!" cried Feliciano as Ludwig shut the door. Feliciano was grateful to be staying at this man's house. He was kind of scary and rather grumpy, but he felt that he should be thankful for Ludwig allowing him to stay in his house. Even though he almost shot Feliciano. No. Feliciano decided to be grateful. Worse things could have happened. He decided to take up Ludwig's offer of sleeping in the guest room. It was a plain room, with a large window showing the flower fields outside. The bed was against the window and it was completely white. A stand with a lamp stood next to the bed. Feliciano was fascinated. Back at his place, everything was so complicated. Ludwig's house was so simple, and it made Feliciano feel snug, which made him quickly fall asleep under the cozy covers.
