Chapter 1: Letters to Germany

Dear Ludwig,

How are you? I haven't heard much about you or from you so I'm a little worried. This war has broken families and their trust in each other ,in fact just the other day I saw some old friends of mine I tried to say hello but they said they didn't speak to traitors of Italy and walked off. I felt awful as if I could just die right there in the center of the town. Sometimes I feel like my only friends are the mirror and the person staring in it. But then I remember that I have you, Fratello ,Antonio ,and Gilbert as friends as well. That makes me happy. Love,

Feliciano Vargas

Dear Feliciano,

I've been doing fine lately and I also agree when you said war brakes families and friends trust in one another. I feel that I am the one to blame for you being called a traitor of Italy. So I apologize for that knowing that I'm German and along with what the Italians are trying to do being called a traitor for knowing me will be quite common so you'll have to get used to it. But knowing you that'll probably hurt more than just being called a traitor straight out. Also how is Lovino ? Antonio sent me a letter saying how Lovino caught a nasty virus and how you all are trying to nurse him back to health. I hope he'll be Lovino again before the war is over. I am looking forward to visiting Italy after the war as well so keep an eye out for a certain German.

Yours truly,

Ludwig Belichmondt

/Ludwig/ I'm helpless. Everything I do or see reminds me of Feliciano. The worst times that I think of the Italian is just before bed. Whenever I see my bed I immediately think "Where's Feliciano? Usually he's home at this time." Whenever I think this way I want to run out the door and straight to Italy just to see Feliciano. To hug him, kiss him ,embrace him, and to just sleep in the same bed with him, just us in quiet, peacefulness.

"I miss him so much Lovi.I just want to see him one more time." I let out a sigh and then walked over to Fratello's bed that's when Lovino said something that made me think very hard. He said "Why don't you just join the army then you'll see him every day." then laughed that's when I got the idea to go and join. "I'll be back Fratello, I have something important to do. "I told him grabbing my coat and heading out the door I was about to leave until I heard a voice that startled me "But poco Feli you just came back, plus it's dangerous outside at night." it was only Antonio I replied with" si se, But I'll be fine Toni so don't worry." I could tell he was worried and that he really didn't want me to go. "Ok. Yo confio en ti, pero por favor, utilice un telefono si nos necesite *." he said surrendering, I replied with "si" before leaving out the door. This has to be the most dangerous plans I had ever had but I'll still go through with it.

* Ok I trust you but please use a phone if you need us. (not sure if they had phones back then.)

Well hopefully you all enjoyed this its really bad I know I'm just starting.
