Alright so it's the apocalypse and it has been for years. Ludwig had built a city which surprisingly hadn't been run down yet. There was an army, functioning generators and power, etc. Feliciano had been found when the supply parties had went on a run but Lovino was still missing. Feliciano hadn't even really met Ludwig yet; just barely conversing with him.
Later on Feliciano got sick, but told no one. It got worse and he collapsed while he was working, his secret getting out. They took him to the infirmary and thinking it's the virus; they planned to kill him. Ludwig happened to hear the commotion and took Feliciano into his home before they could kill him, telling the citizens he would evaluate Feli himself; keeping the Italian with him safe and sound.
Ludwig carried the smaller man's body into his house and laid him in the guest bedroom. He then went to his bathroom and pulled out a small towel, wetting it and placing it on Feliciano's burning forehead. He didn't know why he even chose to care for him...but there was something about him that intrigued Ludwig's interest
Feliciano wearily opened his eyes; looking around with his amber orbs. The last thing he remembered was working outside, and getting overheated it seemed like. He collapsed and fainted; he was out cold for the next 30 minutes. Feliciano's eyes landed on Ludwig's chest before they raised to his face. "Nn…?" He blinked, still a bit out of it.
Ludwig had been adjusting the towel when he noticed Feliciano shifting. "Are jou awake? Do jou need anything?"
Feliciano looked at the blonde; noticing it was the leader of their sanctuary. Wait...what was his name? "L-Ludwig...?" His eyebrows furrowed. He shook his head slightly to try and get the grogginess out of his head.
"Yes, that's me. Do you know who you are or why you're here?" He sat at the edge of the bed and gazed down at him in concern.
"I'm...Feliciano Vargas," he told the blonde. "I felt sick while I was working and I...I think fainted..." Feliciano closed his eyes.
Ludwig took out a notepad from his pocket and jotted down some notes. "Okay, your memory seems intact... Feliciano, I'm going to check that you're not hurt anywhere, is that alright with you?"
Feliciano nodded. He had no memory of what had happened after he fell, so he had probably hit his head or something. Though it could have just been because he passed out before he hit the ground...that would explain why he still remembered who he was and such.
Ludwig helped Feliciano sit up and began to unbutton Feliciano's shirt "I have been trained in the medical field, so no need to worry alright?"
Feliciano nodded. There really wasn't any need to reassure Feliciano so much; he was really trusting by nature.
Ludwig pulled the shirt slightly off of Feli's shoulders and pressed a hand to Feli's abdomen, applying pressure and feeling for lumps or abnormalities. "Tell me if it hurts."
Feliciano winced a bit as he pressed down towards the middle of his torso and he looked at the blonde. "T-That hurts.." He winced again and gently tried removing Ludwig's hands.
"Sorry…" Ludwig stopped applying pressure and began looking for bruises. "When was the last time you ate?"
"Yesterday..." Feliciano noted,"I felt really sick after eating lunch yesterday so I didn't get my dinner or breakfast rations.." Feliciano looked at Ludwig; shifting.
Ludwig nodded and walked around to check Feliciano's back "And when did you begin feeling sick?"
"Right after I ate…" Feliciano closed his eyes as the German inspected back.
"Hmm..." Ludwig finished checking him and buttoned his shirt up again before stepping back, a light tint of pink dusting his cheeks "I'm going to need jou to remove your pants"
