Ludwig clears his throat...he opens his mouth like he's about to say something only to close it. He seems angry, getting the small angel to feel nervous but then Ludwig sighs, and his expression softens as he stares at the small angel next to him, those piercing blue eyes seeming to calm down. "...Um...Feliciano was it?" The small angel glances at him and seeing that the mean look has left his face, the small angel perks up.

"Si!" The small angel smiles but when he looks into those piercing blue eyes and he remembers how he glared at him at lunch...it gets the small angel to look down again, his curl drooping. "...that's me."

"...Are you okay?" The small angel can't help but be surprised by how soft Ludwig's question is. The small angel looks over to find Ludwig isn't looking at him anymore. He's rubbing the back of his neck, watching as more humans start to fill up the gym. "I saw what happened at lunch...hell, I think everyone did. I knew when Ivan came over to your table there was going to be trouble.." Ludwig mumbles more to himself. "But why did that guy grab you like that? I understand that Sadik had it coming to him but that blonde guy just randomly attacked you! I haven't even seen him around here before...it looked like he shoved you pretty hard." Ludwig looks back at the small angel, his face is stern and unreadable.

"Oh no! I'm fine." The small angel smiles at him, wincing slightly, thinking back to Arthur's shove and how mad he's going to be at him later. "Believe me! Arthur has shoved me harder than that!" the small angel chuckles, thinking of this one time when he tried to play tag with Arthur (He found out about the game from the humans in heaven) when they were on a mission a long, long time ago. All the small angel did was tap him but Arthur pushed him so hard he knocked him out of the clouds!

For some reason this statement makes Ludwig's eyebrows raise higher on his forehead before they furrow. "He's done this before to you?...so you two know each other?"

Oh no! Arthur wanted me to act like we didn't know each other! I'm ruining all of Arthur's plans... "A-Ah no, not really. Ve he just...pushed me earlier today but I don't think he meant to!" The small angel waves his hands around when Ludwig frowns.

"I doubt that he didn't mean to after what he did at lunch. Still, Alfred should have been smarter than that..." Ludwig grumbles, his nose wrinkling up at talking about Alfred. "He's always loud and draws attention to himself but he should have been more mindful with you being there. He knows how Ivan and Sadik are. I swear Alfred is such a dummkopf!"

Though the small angel doesn't know what a 'dummkopf' is, he shakes his head quickly, sensing for some reason it's bad. "Ve it wasn't Alfred's fault! I think It was my fault they came over..."

Ludwig stares at him a moment before he glares in front of him... most of the benches are filled up now with humans. The small angel notices they are the only three on the top bench. "Why was..." The man coughs. "Alfred...feeding you?"

"Ve he wanted me to taste a cheeseburger, which is really gross so I wouldn't recommend it." The small angel blinks. "Ve were you watching me?"

This gets Ludwig to tense before he glares at the small angel getting him to squeak. "Of course I wasn't watching you! I have better things to do than watch you being a dummkopf with Alfred!" he snaps but for some reason his cheeks are a bit pink.

"Ve I'm sorry! I just didn't know how you knew that if you weren't watching me..." The small angel's eyes widen before he leans in close, Ludwig leaning back from the lack of space. "Are you a witch?" The small angel whispers seriously.

"What?" Ludwig blinks before he pushes the small angel away. "What is wrong with you?"

"Well witches are able to see things without looking because they have dark magic so if you weren't watching me, how did you know Alfred was feeding me unless you are a witch!" The small angel trembles.

"I'm not a witch and I wasn't watching you!...you were just in my field of vision so...I caught a glance of you once or twice." Ludwig looks away, grumbling. "That's how I saw Alfred feeding you."

"Oh okay!" The small angel sighs in relief. The small angel suddenly remembers this human's glare and he frowns. "Hey...Ludwig?"

"Hmm?" Ludwig looks at him, surprised by the soft tone of the small angel.

"Thank you for asking about me but...you shouldn't lie."

"What are you talking about?"

"I know you don't really like me...ve so you don't have to talk to me. But if you act nice to me you'll only confuse me." The small angel fiddles with his fingers.

Something flashes though Ludwig's eyes and he grinds his teeth, seeming frustrated. "You're the one that's confusing-"

"Alright stop talking!" A loud voice snaps, cutting off Ludwig and every other human that was talking. The small angel looks down to see a rather large man on the floor looking up at all the kids. The small angel can't help to take in his large pot belly...the small angel even from here, can see the glutinous sin radiating off of him. "I understand we have a new student um..." he looks at his clip board. "Felicntoe. Where's Felicntoe?" Some humans chuckle.

"Ve I'm right here! But it's Feliciano sir!" The small angel stands up excitedly and waves his hands in the air.

"Sit down boy! I knew what your name was!" The large man snaps, getting the small angel to frown and sit down immediately. More of the humans chuckle. Humans here seem to laugh a lot. The small angel is happy for that fact at least. "Come down here so I can give you the fitness test."

The humans start to mumble to themselves as the small angel gets up happily and starts to hop down the stairs. Even Ludwig seems to be frowning now while Kiku hasn't changed his face.

"Aw he's going to make that poor guy do the fitness test in front of everyone?" One girl whispers to another.

"We did it as a group so it wasn't as embarrassing." Another girl says back.

"This is going to fucking funny." The human in the back laughs.

The small angel doesn't see some of the humans looking at him with pity while others are too busy cracking smiles about the small angel's situation.

"Alright first off show me how many push ups you can do. You have ten minutes to do as many as you can." The large human grunts, bringing out a timer.

"Push ups?" The small angel tilts his head in confusion. "What's that?"

"Dumb ass." Some one coughs out getting a couple of humans to chuckle. Ludwig sends a glare there way and Kiku is only watching the small angel with blank eyes.

"You've never done push ups before? Well you certainly look like you haven't." The teacher grunts, This gets more humans to laugh before the large man's eyes skim the humans. "Who wants to show him how to do a push up?"

All smiles have fallen. It seems all the humans are trying not to make eye contact with the large human. A hand goes up.

"Ah Ludwig! Thank you. Come down here and show him how it's done." The large human grins as the small angel watches Ludwig come down the steps. All the humans turn their heads to look at him. Ludwig's face is stern as he stops right beside the small angel. He takes off his glasses before handing them to the small angel to hold.

"Watch me." The small angel blinks as he watches Ludwig get on his stomach on the floor. He watches as he lifts himself off the floor using his arms, his legs straight behind him. The small angel watches in fascination as Ludwig goes towards the floor only to push himself back up. His large muscles can be seen shifting under his vest. It has to be the weirdest thing the small angel has ever seen. Is that a push up? What's the point in it?

Ludwig stops doing these 'push ups' and stands up. He takes the glasses from the small angel and gives him a look. "Try doing it like that." Ludwig glances at the teacher before he makes his way back to his seat. The humans look at him before they turn their gazes back on the small angel.

"There. You saw what you're suppose to do so get in a starting position." The large man snaps, his belly shaking from his voice vibrating.

"Starting position-" The small angel starts to question.

"Get on the floor! On your stomach!"

The small angel whimpers but he gets on the floor, laying on his stomach. The floor is hard and it feels nothing like the clouds in heaven. It even smells weird, like feet and rubber. It's starting to hurt the angel's nose. Earth is filled with many strange smells.

"Alright time is on. Start."

Start? Oh! The push ups! The small angel smiles, thinking of what Ludwig just did. It looked pretty easy! The small angel puts his hands by his chest before he lifts himself off the floor-

Suddenly most of the humans start to crack up...except Kiku and Ludwig. The small angel doesn't understand why they are laughing. These push ups are horrible! His arms are starting to hurt!. "Ve why do you make people do this!" The small angel cries in distress.

"You're not even doing them right! Put your ass down!" The large man doesn't look amused either.

"Huh?" Unknown to the angel, he's not really doing a push up. He just kind of has his butt in the air while moving his face closer to the ground before pulling back up.

"Alright, alright!" The teacher snaps when the humans' laughter gets louder. "Why don't you clowns go get changed and run 10 laps around the school?!" This immediately changes the laughter to mad grumbles as the humans slowly start to leave the benches. The small angel smiles when he sees Kiku and tries to run after him but the teacher grabs him. "Oh no! Don't worry you'll have plenty of times to do laps later but you need to work on your push ups! It's pathetic! Did you not have gym at your last school? Did you not work out at all?"

Gym at my last school?...The small angel thinks about school in heaven before a smile comes to his face. "Ve I don't think we had gym but we worked out our wings by flying through clouds and-" the small angel stops, his eyes getting wide with fear from what he just said. Does the human know now that he's an angel? Is he doomed?-

"...What kind of drugs are you on son?" The teacher raises his eyebrow. "And were the hell can I get some?" The teacher shakes his head. "Fine. I don't care what you did at your other school. At this Academy, you will do push ups and everything else. You need to get in shape boy!" The man shouts, his belly shaking again. "And you need to eat!"

"Ve but I'm not hungry-"

"I don't care if you're hungry or not! Give me twenty push ups!"

"Ve?! But I can't even do one!"

"Ohh we'll see about that!"


The small angel doesn't hate anything...but he has found out that he really, really doesn't like push ups. The small angel lays on the weird smelling floor, panting and his arms throbbing. He's never really had to work his arms. In heaven the main thing that was a concern was wing strength. Speaking of wings...his are killing him. After awhile it starts to hurt keeping wings inside to hide them. It feels like his body is full and he just wants to let his wings free and stretch them...but he knows he can't do that. Not yet anyway.

The bell rings and the humans in his class start to come out of different rooms at the end of the gym...they look wet like they just took a bath. The small angel spots Kiku, who looks wet as well, coming out of a room with that blank look on his face. The small angel stands up, ignoring the pain in his arms as he rushes over to the raven haired male. "Hi! What did you do while I was in here? That teacher is really scary and push ups are horrible! Do they make you do them all the time? Why are you wet? Did it rain outside? It's not thunder storming is it? Ve! Thunder scares me because if there's thunder there's lighting!" The small angel hugs himself in distress. Lighting and angels don't mix. At least lighting doesn't mix with the small angel because he's just afraid one of these days that he's going to be hit by lighting and that's got to hurt!

"It's not raining outside. We took a shower." The answer comes to his right so the small angel looks over to see Ludwig. The large blonde is walking beside him, those piercing blue eyes watching him from behind his glasses. "...How did the push ups go?" He glances away.

"Horrible!" The small angel shouts and grabs onto Ludwig, surprising him. He looks up at the blonde with wide eyes. "How did you make it look so easy?! It was so hard and it hurt my arms and the teacher was mean and he smelled like cheese!" The small angel shakes Ludwig. "You must be super strong! You did 10 of them so fast!"

"I'm not super strong...I just work out a lot." Ludwig's cheeks flush and the bicep the small angel is holding onto, flexes. "Push ups shouldn't be so hard for you though. You've never done them before?"

"No never!" The small angel shakes his head.

"...How many were you able to do?"

"Um...five?"

"Five push ups? During an hour you only did five?" Ludwig looks at him in disbelief.

"Well five 'right ones' as the teacher said. Those five were so hard to do! I thought my arms were going to fall off!"

"Mein gott! Your upper body strength is horrible! You know there's a weight room at the school? You should take advantage of it." Ludwig glances down where the small angel is still holding onto him. He flushes but pulls the small angel off of him.

"Weight room?" The small angel tilts his head.

"Ja for working out...you can find me there most days-" Ludwig stops, seeming confused.

"Oh! Working out! Hey Kiku do you like working out-" The small angel turns his head to smile at Kiku...only for it to fall when the short human is no longer by his side. "Oh no, I lost him again.."

"...Can I ask why you keep trying to talk to Kiku?" Ludwig raises his eyebrow at him.

"Ve because I want to be his friend but he keeps ignoring me." The small angel frowns before looking at Ludwig with big eyes. "Ve can you tell me about Kiku? I saw you two sitting together at lunch so you're friends right?"

"...well...I wouldn't call us friends." Ludwig rubs the back of his neck,those blue eyes glancing away. "it's true we sit together at lunch but it's not really because we're friends more because..." Ludwig stops suddenly before he glares at the small angel. "You know, I don't have to explain myself to you. Since you're hanging out with Alfred I'm sure you already know. I don't have time for dummkopfs anyway. I plan on EARNING my degree." With that, Ludwig marches away from the small angel, fuming.

Why is Ludwig mad now? Are they friends or aren't they? The small angel frowns as he picks up his file and papers from off the floor where he dropped them. He checks the file to find out where he's suppose to go next...Music? Oh! The small angel loves music! He likes to play the harp for the humans in heaven. Music will be fun! The small angel perks up as he skips out of the gym, so happy to get out of that odd smelling place. After skipping, asking around for the music room, he finally finds where the music room is...it's down this hallway near the lunch room. The small angel spots Kiku who is just about to walk into the music room. The small angel smiles and skips up behind him.

"Are you excited for music class? I love music! Did you know music is good for the soul? Music can make you happy when you're down! My grandpa use to sing to me-" The small angel winces as he walks next to Kiku who hasn't paid him any mind but when the small angel stops talking suddenly, Kiku glances at him. The small angel recovers quickly and he smiles at Kiku..only for the raven to start walking again.

The music room seems to be filled with a lot of humans already...The small angel's brown orbs look around only to stop when his eyes fall on a short blonde haired human next to a dark haired one. The small angel's eyes widen in realization. "Ve I know you!" The small angel shouts before waving his hand frantically. "Hi Vash! Do you remember me? I'm in this class too!"

The human named Vash just stares at him with a glare...it's the human next to him who speaks. "Who are you?" His voice has a German accent but it's not as rough as Ludwig's.

"No one Roderich." Vash shakes his head.

The small angel is about to say something when he notices Kiku is no longer by his side. He quickly turns and walks after Kiku who seems to be heading towards the back. As the small angel is following him, his eyes fall on someone else familiar. He stops in front of Mathew, who is sitting in the back as well, and smiles brightly. "Hi Matthew!" The small angel smiles as he takes a seat next to Kiku..which is also right next to Mattew.

"O-Oh hi Feliciano..." The soft blonde smiles shyly. "It looks like we have music together..."

"Ve I know!" The small angel smiles over at Kiku who is staring ahead blankly. "It's great we all have music together huh?"

Kiku doesn't respond.

The small angel turns around when he's tapped on the shoulder. Matthew is frowning at him. "I-I wouldn't bother him Feliciano...he doesn't really l-like to talk."

"But...I want to talk to him." The small angel's curl droops. Since he's looking at Matthew he doesn't see how Kiku looks at him at this comment...maybe, just maybe something shifts in those dark, empty eyes...but when the small angel looks back at Kiku, he's only staring towards the front, nothing in his eyes at all.

"Good afternoon class..." A woman comes in smiling. "All of you take out your music sheets and..."

Music class is not fun. The small angel doesn't understand what she's talking about when she says half notes and whole notes...Where's the singing? Where's the instruments? This isn't music class! The small angel can't help to feel sleepy, especially when Kiku ignores anything he says and Matthew seems really focused on this 'music sheet'. Why do they have sheets for music? During the class the small angel decided to ask.

The small angel raises his hand and starts to shake it in the air. The woman stops working with papers to smile at the small angel. "You may speak Feliciano."

"Why are there sheets for music?" The small angel asks. All the humans in the class turn around to look at him with an odd look.

"It's so we can learn the music-" The woman starts.

"But...music isn't something you learn. Music is what is in your heart. It's what comes out when you sing or play an instrument. You can't learn music...that's like learning how to feel!" The small angel frowns.

The teacher tried to explain but the small angel still didn't get it. The human Roderich looked at him oddly when the small angel said that...something flashed through his eyes before he nodded at him. The small angel didn't get it so he just nodded back. Then the human smiled slightly before looking to the front. The small angel doesn't get what happened but it made him feel nice.

Now the small angel is barely awake...he snaps up when the bell rings. All the humans pack up their stuff and leave. "Ve can you guys believe that? This wasn't music class.." The small angel mumbles, looking at Kiku but he doesn't respond.

"I didn't know you were so passionate about music Feliciano." Matthew mumbles softly.

"Neither did I." Mathew and the small angel look over to see Roderich and Vash staring at them. Roderich takes a step closer and holds out his hand. "It's nice to see that there's finally someone in this school that has a passion for music. My name is Roderich, the best piano player this foul school has."

"Ve I'm Feliciano! And ohh the piano! That's impressive!" The small angel smiles...they have a lot of instruments in heaven. Some of the humans wanted some to play. The instruments are made of clouds and yet they can play better than any instrument on earth. The small angel takes the human's hand and shakes it.

"Do you play anything?" Roderich raises his eyebrow at him.

"I play the harp!" The small angel smiles happily.

"The harp! My that's interesting." Roderich looks excited...Vash gives him a surprised look.

"Damn, you sound like a school girl that just learned her crush likes her back." Vash grunts.

"Oh hush." Roderich waves Vash off. "So you're good with the harp hmm? I'd like to see that." Roderich waves. "Till next time Feliciano."

Vash doesn't wave, he just leaves with the raven haired human. The small angel waves eagerly. "Wow they seem nice huh?-" The small angel turns around...only to find both Matthew and Kiku are gone. The small angel sighs before he takes out the file and looks for where he's suppose to go next. Art huh? It seems to be the last class of the day...

Thank goodness. The small angel can't wait till it's three o clock so he can take his siesta. The small angel asks the music teacher where the art room is and is delighted to hear that it's right across the hall. The small angel skips into the art room, smiling brightly when he sees Kiku sitting alone. Kiku doesn't look up but he tenses slightly when the small angel plops down next to him. "Wow! The last class of the day! Music kind of sucked but I'm sure art will be better! I like drawing, what about you?" this question gets a twitch out of Kiku. The angel opens his mouth to speak again-

"Hey sweetie!" The small angel turns around at such a pretty voice. A human with long brown hair and green eyes is smiling at him. She's sitting behind him with something around her neck. The small angel recognizes her...she was the one squealing at him today at lunch when he was tasting the cheeseburger. "I haven't seen you around here! Are you new?"

"Si! This was my first day." The small angel smiles, liking this human already. Her eyes are soft.

"Aw. My name is Elizabeth and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask!" She frowns. "That was horrible to happen to you on your first day. Ivan and Sadik are such bullies. I think I'm going to have to teach them a lesson, doing that to you on your first day...and that other boy with the large eyebrows. That was mean. I'm sorry I didn't do anything at the time. I was just too shocked! I wasn't expecting it!"

"No it's fine! My name is Feliciano!" The small angel smiles brightly...The human's cheeks turn red and she smiles oddly.

"So...I don't mean to pry into your business but I couldn't help but...see you..being fed by Alfred." The girl smiles wider. "Are you two friends?"

"Ve I think so..." The small angel hums, thinking about it. He decides Alfred has been nice to him and he hasn't really gotten mad at him.

"I think you should get Alfred to feed yo more. That was just...so cute!" She squeals again.

"I don't want him to feed me if it's something like that cheeseburger! It was horrible!" The small angel fiddles with his fingers, getting the girl to blush more.

"You are so cute Feliciano!" The girl gently pinches the small angel's cheek. "Can I call you Feli?"

"Stop being a stupido Feli." A Harsh voice snaps

"I love you Feli." A softer voice soothes.

The small angel tenses, his mouth going dry but before he can say anything to this human, the teacher comes in, causing the small angel to have to turn around and look at this teacher. The teacher's words are not registering...the small angel's mind spinning...no one has called him Feli in a long, long time. His grand father and his brother use to call him that...

A piece of paper is put in front of him...the teacher is talking again...he wants me to draw?...okay...the small angel grabs a pencil and begins to draw. His mind isn't really in it. He feels as if he's in a fog, trying to lose his grandfather's smile and his brother's rare laughter...He shouldn't think about this here...he can't help it though. His hand moves skillfully over the paper, his eyes closed.

"Flap your wings! Do you want to die! You better not die on me! I'll kill you if you do!..."

"Your paintings are beautiful my son...you will be a great angel."

"Stop hugging on me! Geez!...fine just one! But only one hug! Stupido.."

"You have my eyes Feli. You're beautiful.."

Their voices mix together, filling the small angel with so many emotions. He closes his eyes tighter, tightening his grip on the pencil...The voices fade away...leaving him alone.

The bell rings.

The small angel's eyes snap open...he watches with foggy eyes as the humans start to get up and leave the class room...The small angel feels exhausted. He feels sick, possibly from that cheeseburger he ate-

"That is very beautiful." The small angel tenses at the voice and whips his head over. Kiku is staring at the paper in front of the small angel...but when Kiku realized he spoke, he tenses up and glances away. "You have a gift for drawing..."

The small angel blinks at Kiku, still shocked that the human actually talked to him before he looks down at his drawing. His eyes widen when he takes in the picture before him. The small angel drew a lake with a swan floating in the water. The swan looks...sad. The swan Is looking down at it's reflection in the water. His reflection shows the same swan looking happy with two other swans by it's side...but in reality, there's only one swan. The small angel frowns...knowing he drew his feelings again. "I-I just draw what I feel..."

"I see...and you feel lonely?" The small angel looks at Kiku with wide eyes. The raven haired male's eyes shift for a moment, his cheeks tinting. "Sorry I really enjoy art. I'm able to understand it well...and I can clearly understand yours. It's genius really-" He stops, he seems like he's in distress. "sorry for talking so much I usually refrain from speaking. I'll go now." Kiku stands up quickly but the small angel stops him with his next words.

"I like your drawing too Kiku." The small angel smiles, looking at the picture he drew. It's a fish in the sky. The drawing is very good and the small angel gets it. "You feel like you don't belong?"

"Y-You saw it's meaning?" Kiku sits down, looking at the small angel with wide eyes. "You...like my art?"

"Si! I think it's nice!" The small angel smiles brightly, glad he's finally talking with Kiku. "Why do you look surprised?"

"I...I just.." Kiku swallows something down and shakes his head. His face goes back blank. "Thank you. I have to go now. I have to study-" Kiku starts to leave, only to tense when the small angel grabs him by the wrist.

"Okay but could you tell me your name first?" The small angel smiles at him.

Kiku stares at him for a long moment...before nodding. "...My name is Kiku. I'm pleased to meet you." with that, Kiku takes his hand from the small angel...The short humans disappears into the hallway...leaving the small angel smiling to himself...happy that he finally got somewhere with Kiku.

So Kiku likes art huh? I'll remember that.


"Ve~" The small angel sighs happily as he stops in front of his new 'home'. It took the small angel forever trying to find how to get out of the school. All the humans were pushing and shoving...but it was strange because no one went out the way he did. He noticed most of the humans seem to be heading towards another building close by the school. The small angel doesn't understand but with pure luck he was able to find the office again and return the shoes. The lady gave him an odd look when the small angel walked out of the office barefooted with such a bright smile but it feels so good to have his feet free!...even if every thing he walks on is either hard or cold.

The small angel sighs, looking up at the clouds floating in the sky...He misses them. Around this time he use ally would be getting ready to take a nap on one of those clouds but now he'll have to make do with what humans sleep on.

The small angel isn't picky. He'll sleep anywhere. He's so exhausted.

The small angel starts to hum to himself as he opens the door and walks in, closing the door behind him. "I'm home-" The small angel started off singing, only for it to end in a squeak when as soon as he closed the door, he was pushed against it, his head hitting the wood hard. The small angel's started brown orbs meet fiery green ones that are inches from his own. The small angel blinks before giving him a nervous smile. "O-Oh hey Arthur-"

"You bloody idiot!" Arthur shouts in his face, those green orbs narrowing as he grips the small angel's vest. Arthur already has his wings out, they're ruffled showing his anger. "Because of you I got sent home early! I wasted half a day on trying to get closer to my human and now I'm sure he's scared of me! You just had to go and start licking humans didn't you? What the bloody hell is wrong with you?!" He shakes the small angel.

"I-I didn't mean to lick him! But he was holding food out to me and I didn't know what it was and when I'm trying something new I always lick it first-"

"You could have taken the food first! You idiot!" Arthur growls, his eyebrow twitching. "Do you know how horrible my day was?! Having to seat with all those disgusting humans? Pretending to be okay with how dirty they are? Can you believe that half way through the day I actually started missing you?! I felt like I was losing my mind! No wonder poor Mathew wants to kill himself, I wanted to after spending hours in that awful school-"

"Ve Arthur don't kill yourself! You have so much to live for! You might be scary but you sure do know how to knit a sweater! And that means something right-"

"Shut up! You idiot, it's not even possible for me to kill myself! We can't die you bloody git!" Arthur's eyes narrow. "Did you not learn anything from school in heaven?! We learned about humans remember? You acted like an idiot! You stick out like a sore thumb! Not only that but you didn't even get close to Kiku! How do you expect to save him if you can't even talk to him?!"

"W-Wait how do you know my human is Kiku?"

"I peeked at your file while you were getting dressed this morning." Arthur snorts. "I'm not just mad at you, I'm mad at those gits in the sky for not giving us any supplies! I had no idea what the bloody hell I was doing!"

"Ve you too?! You looked like you knew what you were doing in math though! You were talking to Matthew like you knew maths!"

"The only thing I did was repeat what the teacher said and acted like I came up with it on my own! I don't know anything about any of Matthew's subjects! It doesn't matter if we pass the classes, our concern is saving the humans but still...the school seems like it's a high up one. For rich kids or really smart ones. How do those gits expect us to fit in when we're going to fail and get kicked out of the school? I think they are just messing with us! The wankers!"

"I-I don't know what to do but could you let go of me Arthur? Ve you're crushing me." The small angel smiles nervously at Arthur who glares at him darkly.

"Tsk. I can't believe you caused me to be sent home early. You caused that whole commotion in the lunch room. " Arthur lets go of him and crosses his arms.

"Ve I'm really sorry Arthur! I didn't know licking the human would bring those bullies! Please don't be angry!" The small angel frowns before he takes off his vest...he lets out a loud sigh when his wings spring out of his back. He stretches his white wings out, feeling so relieved.

"It feels good doesn't it?" Arthur's expression softens for a moment before he glares again. "Don't do something stupid like that again..." Arthur turns his back to the small angel, his wings folding in to him. "...so did you make any progress with Kiku?"

"Oh si! I talked to him today and he said a couple of words back!" The small angel says proudly getting Arthur to look at him with a frown.

"That's nothing to be proud of. I had less time and I had gotten on a friend's basis with Matthew. You need to do better than that Feliciano or you're never going to get out of this job...or you're going to get your wings clipped." Something flashes through Arthur's eyes for a split moment before he glares at The small angel. "Which is what I think should happen anyway! You and your family have been nothing but trouble! They should have gotten rid of you with your family."

The small angel stops stretching his wings...looking at Arthur's back with his expression falling. The small angel looks down, his wings wrapping around himself protectively. "...Why are you so mean Arthur?" The small angel's voice gets softer. "...You use to be so nice to me...you use to be my best friend."

Arthur tenses at that. He doesn't turn around but his breathing has become uneven. "Don't you ever say that. It was a mistake ever even speaking to you and that awful family of yours. You've taken everything from me. If I could...I would clip your wings myself. With pleasure." His voice is firm...yet his fist is shaking. He won't turn around. He won't look at the small angel.

"...I don't know what I took from you Arthur...but I'm sorry. I-I didn't know I did something so wrong that you...that you would feel that way. That y-you would actually clip my wings yourself...I don't want you to lose your wings." The small angel rubs his arms, tears filling up in his eyes. "...It's time for me to take a nap...a siesta...you know...we use to take them together." The small angel stares at the back of Arthur for a moment...The stronger angel hasn't spoken. The small angel closes his eyes before he walks into the next room, hoping there's something soft. He smile sightly when he sees the bed...It doesn't look as nice as a cloud but it looks better than the floor. The small angel stops before looking back at Arthur. "Ve...if you ever want, You can join me. You've had a hard day. Sleeping will do you some good!" The small angel puts on a smile though there's tears falling down his face.

"..." Arthur grips his fist, his shoulders tensing up. "What is wrong with you? Why are you being kind when I just said those things? I pretty much said I wanted to kill you and yet you're still speaking to me like this...it's...you..." Something changes in his voice...it almost sounded like it cracked. Arthur grips his fist tighter. "Take your bloody siesta." Arthur's wings go back into his back, he grabs his vest, throwing the front door open. "I'm going out."

And then he's gone.

The small angel stands there...closing his eyes as he walks back to the bed and falls on top of it...spreading his wings out all the way on the bed. It's not that soft. It doesn't bring him comfort. The small angel remembers a time that him and Arthur were inseparable. They went to school together, they slept together...They spent so much time together, Arthur's family was pretty much the small angel's family and the small angel's family was pretty much Arthur's family. Arthur held his hand during his fist flight...together they stayed a float. The whole time Lovi was yelling at the small angel to flap his wings...he was falling...but then Arthur saved him. Arthur use to smile at him. Use to look at him with such a bright look In those green orbs...He use to hold his hand when he was scared, he use to hold him at night when it got dark. They use to go on missions together...and the small angel remembers back then he was brave. He stood by Arthur's side and when he got scared, Arthur would always save him.

When had it all changed? When had that nice warm smile change into a expression of contempt. When had those bright green eyes turn hard?

It changed when The small angel's family disappeared...no...when The small angel's family was murdered. The small angel is certain. They say angel's can't die but the small angel knows it can't be true. The small angel thinks maybe...Arthur blames him for his family's death. He can't blame him.

He was the one that ran, and left his brother and grandfather to fight off that demon.

The small angel's head hurts too much...his eyes slipping shut. The last thing he sees is his brother and his grandfather and a small Arthur smiling at him...

His brother and his grandfather fade away...

Leaving nothing but Arthur...and his hateful glare.


A young angel giggles as he bounces from cloud to cloud, his small, too small to even be considered ready to fly wings, twitching slightly in the small angel's happiness. Today is a very special day. The young angel stops his bouncing when his bright brown eyes fall on the sight before him.

Angels who are a bit older them him are all lined up, their larger wings fluttering in anticipation. But there is one angel that sticks out to young angel and that's his brother. His big brother is going to fly today.

"Lovi! Lovi!" The young angel giggles, jumping up and down, waving his arms in the air. His brother is standing in the middle, his arms crossed like they always are, his usually scowling face blank. The curl on the right side of his swaying slightly. The older Italian angel tenses at hearing his little brother's voice and when those darker brown eyes spot the young angel yelling his name and jumping up and down...The angel named Lovino can't help his flush of embarrassment or the glare he sends his little brother...Yet in the end he ends up smiling. Because everyone knows Lovi is happy his little brother is here. Even if he will never admit it.

"My, someone is excited." A warm voice says to the young angel's right, getting him to look over at his large grandfather. The man's hair and eyes matching the young angel's own, and his smile so large and warm it could melt ice.

"Grandpa!" The young angel cheers and lifts his hands up in a way to tell his grandfather that he wants to be picked up. The older man is quick to do so, he sweeps the young angel off his feet and holds him against his chest, his warm smile growing. "I missed you grandpa! Have you found mommy or daddy yet?"

The older man's smile falters, something flashing through those light eyes of his before he smiles again. He closes his eyes. "No...but I'm sure they will come back soon. Don't worry. Grandpa will take care of you and your brother."

"I wish they were here now. They're going to miss Lovi fly!" The young angel pouts, looking back at his older brother who is staring at them. Lovi looks sad. The young angel doesn't understand why his brother is looking like that.

"Yes but we are here for him...that's all that matters. Remember that Feli. We are all we need." The large man nuzzles the young angel's head. "Look at your brother! Growing up isn't he?"

"Si!" The young angel smiles over at his older brother, forgetting about his parents. They'll come back some time and then the young angel can tell them all about how Lovi flew! "Will I be able to fly soon too grandpa?"

"Haha don't rush it now. Flying means you're growing up and I don't want my sons growing up." The large angel laughs, kissing the young angel on the head with affection. "I want you to stay this small forever!"The young angel squeals when he pokes him in the side.

"Grandpa!" the young angel giggles. "But I want to be big! I want to be a great angel like you!"

The large angel's smile twitches at that, his large white wings folding into themselves. He looks away from the young angel that's looking at him with admiration and love. "...Trust me Feli. You don't want to be anything like me."

"What-"

"Oh look! Lovi is about to take off!" The grandfather gets his smile back on, pointing to the sky.

"Yay!" the young angel looks away quickly, what his grandfather said forgotten. He never had a good attention span. Even as a child. The young angel grips his fists in anticipation as all the older angels spread their wings. His older brother glances at him...before he jumps up from using his legs before his wings start to flap. The young angel can't help to clap as the older brother clumsily starts to fly in the air at first but as he keeps going around in a circle with all the other new angels to flying, he becomes more steady to the point where he's flying smoothly. Lovi waves at his younger brother and grandfather, smiling one of those rare smiles that the young angel wish he could capture.

"Yay! Go lovi! That's amazing! Look at him grandpa! Look!" the young angel grabs his grandfather's arm and starts swinging it.

"I am, I am!" He laughs, smiling up at his older grandson while sneaking peeks of his younger grandson's in awe expression.

The young angel's wings flap as if he could fly, those brown orbs of his sparkling so much. He feels so happy and he's not even flying. Seeing his older brother fly like that...seeing him soar...it's amazing. It feels like he's flying with him.

"Roma." A firm yet warm voice gets the young angel to look over. A familiar angel is standing in front of his grandpa now. Smiling so friendly, his large white wings fluttered into himself. He has bright blonde hair and blue eyes...He's beautiful like all the angels are.

"Ah I thought I would see you here." His grandfather smiles as he lets down his younger grandson.

"Congratulations on your boy! He's doing wonderful!"

"Thank you thank you. I just..."

The conversation escapes the young angel as his eyes fall on another child angel. He has blonde hair like his father, his small wings fluttering anxiously as those green orbs lock onto the young Feli. The young angel smiles. "Arthur! Ve want to watch my brother fly with me!"

"...Sure." Arthur says, moving away from his father to walk till he's standing right in front of the young angel. The blonde smiles at his friend as he grabs his hand. The young angel smiles back before they both look up at the sky...both staring in awe at the older angels that are flying laps.

"I hope I look that good when I'm flying!" the young angel giggles.

'Pssh me and you will look better than all of them." Young Arthur closes his eyes in his smug smile.

"You really think?" The young angel beams. "Do you think I can become a great angel someday?"

Arthur stops smiling smugly to give his friend a warm smile, and a squeeze of the hand.

"I don't think. I know you will."


"Get up you bloody wanker!" The small angel is woken from his sleep when a pillow collides with his face. He gasps, sitting up quickly, his honey brown orbs wide. Arthur stands in front of him in the door way of the room...one of his large eyebrows is twitching. He's completely dressed in the human's clothes, the blue coat over his green vest buttoned up. "Do you want to be late for school? You slept all day yesterday! Stop being lazy and hurry up and get dressed. Those gits finally got us our supplies for school." Arthur stares at the small angel for a moment, something in those green eyes that the small angel can't understand.

"Ve?! I really slept that much!" The small angel gets up quickly, he still has his human pants on but he's shirtless. His tan chest exposed. The small angel's wings flutter anxiously, stretching at the same time. "Wow I must have really been tired! My siesta's usually only last an hour..." The small angel frowns looking over at his wings that feel kind of strained. Sleeping on that bed must have made him sprain a wing. They definably aren't as comfortable than the clouds. The small angel makes a groan of pain as he rotates his arm, trying to get a kink out of his shoulder.

"I know..." That same look is in Arthur's eyes as he looks the small angel over, seeing his wince of pain. "I felt the same way getting up. These bloody things are meant for humans not angels. They're not being considerate of us at all." Arthur seems to be thinking over something in his mind...before he glares, that look gone. "Just hurry up and get ready you don't want to be late, well not that I care. Don't do anything stupid like yesterday. I'm heading off to the human school alone, you can walk yourself." With that Arthur turns and leaves, his words cold.

The small angel stares after him and sighs...remembering all those mean things Arthur said to him. Arthur doesn't like him so much that he would clip the small angel's wings...the thought almost brings tears to the small angel's eyes again but he blinks it away. He can't let Arthur get him down. He has to save Kiku. The small angel will show Arthur that he's a good angel. He'll show him he loves all god's creatures...that's what being an angel is all about right? Spreading good will and peace and protecting the humans.

There was a time when Arthur believed in him. When Arthur thought he could be a great angel. Those times are over but maybe if the small angel works hard enough, he could become a great angel like his grandpa. Then Arthur wouldn't be so mad. Maybe Arthur would look at him like he use to.

With that in mind, the small angel smiles, filled with new hope. He skips out of the bedroom, flapping his wings all the way to try to use them as much as he can before he has to hide them for hours of the day. The small angel sighs as he wills his wings to fold in and then fade away before he slips on his brown vest. This time he doesn't forget the shoes. The small angel sits down and puts them on easily, they fit him good but when the small angel tries to tie his shoes like Ludwig did for him...he just can't do it! It's too hard!

The small angel settles with just tucking his shoelaces into the shoes before standing up, again feeling it weird that he has his feet covered up. "Wow that's a lot of books. " The small angel frowns, staring at the pile of books and notebooks on the table...that must be his supplies. Why does he need all this stuff? All you do in school is draw and hand teaches paper...maybe the angels in heaven made some kind of mistake? The small angel runs a hand through his hair before grabbing his books and hugging them to his chest. His file is already in the pile to his relief. "Okay so yesterday wasn't so good...but today's going to be a lot better! I can feel it!" The small angel smiles cheerfully before opening the front door and skipping off...his shoes falling off occasionally so he has keep sliding them back on. The air still smells bad and there's trash everywhere...he thought someone would have come picked it up by now...It makes him a little sad. Maybe after school he should start picking some of the trash up! Then it wouldn't smell so bad!...hopefully!

Yup. Today is going to be good. The small angel will get closer to Kiku...he'll be a great angel...he'll make his grandpa and brother proud. And maybe, just maybe, he will make Arthur proud too.


"Ve I made it on time!" The small angel bust through the door to his first class, his eyes sparkling. Most of the history class is already filled with students. Most give the Italian angel an amused look, some are laughing. That's nice. The small angel is happy the humans are in a good mood.

"I see that." The teacher mumbles from his seat, rubbing his temples. "Go and take your seat. The bell will ring soon."

The small angel starts to look around the room, his eyes searching for Kiku. He finds him near the front to the right. The small angel's eyes light up and he starts to wave frantically. "Kiku! Kiku hi!" The raven haired human looks up from the book he was reading, his expression doesn't change. He doesn't wave back. The small angel frowns...aw I thought we got passed this...Kiku talked to him yesterday...maybe he only talks if it's about art?

"Feliciano! Class is not the time to socialize! Take your seat next to Ludwig!"

"Oh Ludwig!" The small angel smiles and walks over to the blond German who isn't looking at him. His eyes are looking really hard at this piece of paper in front of him...the staring seems strained. "Good morning Ludwig." The small angel sits next to the large blond. Smiling slightly. "I remembered my shoes this time!"

"That's good..." Ludwig glances over at the small angel only to look away again. "I don't know how you forgot them in the first place."

"Well I'm not use to wearing shoes!" The small angel says happily, glad Ludwig is talking with him. "I like waking barefooted! Shoes are cramped and I feel like I have no room to wiggle my toes!"

"...I don't even know why you would need to do that but walking barefooted is dangerous. You could step on glass or a nail or something. Also you can't go in public places barefooted." Ludwig gives him a scolding look.

"Why not?"

"Because we are suppose to wear shoes. It's for protection and no one wants to smell your feet."

"Ve my feet don't smell! If anything they smell good! I'm sure they still smell like clouds! Ve here, smell!" The small angel starts to take off his shoes, only for Ludwig to grab his wrist, stopping him.

"I am not smelling your feet!" Ludwig snaps, his cheeks getting pink for some reason.

"But they smell good!" The small angel takes the human's hand that's holding his wrist and holds it in both of his hands, smiling. "I promise."

"I don't care if they smell good or not! I don't want to smell your feet!" Ludwig's piercing blue eyes fall to where the small angel is holding his hand. He pulls his hand away, his cheeks getting pinker. "And stop touching me like that! You're such a strange person." Ludwig grumbles, opening up his books.

The bell rings.

"Alright class settle down." The teacher says lazily, his tired eyes looking at the class that has grown quiet. "Today I want you to read your text books, page 340 to 360. answer the questions in the back."

immediately humans begin to open books and flip pages. The small angel blinks down at his supplies before glancing at Ludwig's book to see which one it is. The small angel hums and picks out the red book and opens it all the way to... "Hey Ludwig" The small angel whispers over to the blonde.

Ludwig doesn't respond, his eyes on the book.

"Hey, hey Ludwig." The small angel pokes his shoulder. "What's the page number?"

The German sighs through his nose before closing his eyes and rubbing them from under his glasses. "Were you not listening? Page 340 to 360."

"Grazie!" the small angel beams before he turns to the page given to him. He blinks down at so many words...where are the pretty pictures? The small angel tries to read the first sentence. "Some believe the treaty of World War one caused World War 2..." The small angel frowns. He doesn't want to read about war. The small angel looks around the room seeing how everyone is reading quietly. His eyes fall on Kiku. The raven haired male is so still, his eyes blankly reading the text. He's so pale and those eyes...so empty. The small angel wants to give him a hug. He wants to warm that blank expression...Kiku looks like a robot that has forgotten how to feel.

"You should be reading." The small angel looks at Ludwig who is looking at him. He's stopped his reading to stare at the small angel with those piercing blue eyes. "After seeing your...notes yesterday, I would think you would pay more attention to getting real information."

"But...but I don't want to read about war." The small angel frowns, looking down at the large book with too many words. "War is bad. People die in tragic ways. Families are tore apart. Nothing good comes out of it...I don't want to read about people fighting or dying...it's just...sad." The small angel's voice gets quiet.

"...Sometimes war is necessary. War is also a big part of history. I'm not saying it's the funnest thing to read about but...it's something that happens." Ludwig glances at the small Angel before looking back down at his book. "You may not like war but in this class you have to read about it."

"But...But I don't want to." The small angel hugs himself nervously. "Can't I read something else?"

"Nein." Ludwig's voice isn't as sharp as it usually is. "These pages aren't so bad. I've already read ahead in my doom so...I know. It just talks about treaties. We all have to do things we don't like sometimes. If you want a good grade in this class then you have to read this." Ludwig glares down at his book. "You can't just not do something because you don't want to-"

"It just makes me sad. I don't like hearing about people dying. I couldn't imagine how that feels...dying." The small angel knows this is a feeling he hopefully will never feel. Being an angel...he can't die. That's what the angel's say but it has to be a lie...

His grandfather and his brother are dead. They have to be.

"...I can imagine it doesn't feel pleasant...but in a way I think it's peaceful. You get released from your body...you don't have to worry about paying bills or working or making it. Death isn't something you should be afraid of." Ludwig glances over at the small angel again. "...It's going to happen to all of us."

The small angel knows this. He knows all humans must die before they can enter the gates of heaven. They must feel the cold grip of the angel of death. But it still makes the small angel sad. Maybe it is peaceful. Maybe it is nice...but once the humans die...they leave everything behind. Humans that loved them...and those humans are left with only the memories of their beloved. The humans in heaven don't remember the people in their lives that are still on earth. There's no tears in heaven. If the humans remembered that their mother or father or lover was still on earth...they would yearn for them. They would cry and be sad...So when they die, they leave their memories with them, at least of the people. The humans can still remember some things about earth...but nothing that would make them sad. They lose all those precious moments in their lives...and the small angel can't help to be saddened...

Because the people on earth don't. They know that there is someone missing from their lives. That's what his grandpa told him when he asked...

"I-I know.." The small angel croaks out, his body trembling as his eyes tear up. He can't help it. Just thinking about all these nice young humans dying...of Kiku dying or Ludwig dying...and just thinking that Ludwig wouldn't even remember him...It makes him sad. So sad.

"F-Feliciano." The German's eyes widen when he sees how the small angel is starting to cry, tears falling down his face. Ludwig's eyes are off of the book, it completely forgotten.. He stares at the small angel awkwardly, not knowing if he should comfort him or say something...he looks at a loss for words. "I didn't mean to upset you...d-did someone in your family just die? I'm sorry I didn't know." The German seems flustered, maybe even worried...maybe even guilty.

"N-No..." His grandpa and his brother haven't just died. They have been dead for hundreds of years now. The small angel grabs onto this human, sniffling. "I just don't want you to die! Thinking about it makes me sad..."

Ludwig's eyebrows raise at that statement, he looks so surprised...and soon his cheeks are getting red. There's a look in those piercing blue eyes that the small angel doesn't understand. "Idiot...don't think of something like that!...and why would it make you so sad that you would cry?...you barely know me." Ludwig reaches out but stops himself...pulling his hand back and looking away. "Please stop crying...it's making me uncomfortable."

"It doesn't matter I barely know you!... I can tell you're a good person and just thinking about you dying makes me sad." The small angel wipes at his eyes, some of the class mates have caught that the small angel is crying and are now staring at him. Soon everyone is looking over at Ludwig and the small angel...they whisper to each other.

"Aw they shouldn't have that new kid sitting next to Ludwig. He's made him cry."

"I think this is the second time! I saw the new kid crying at lunch after talking with him!"

"Did you see how Alfred was feeding the new kid? That was so cute!"

"Did you see that bushy eyebrow guy throw the new kid? It was fucking hilarious!"

"I heard that Alfred and that new kid are dating!"

"I heard that Ivan and Alfred were fighting it out for his love!"

The class keeps whispering, spreading rumors excitedly while watching the scene of the small angel crying with fascination. Kiku on the other hand hasn't looked up from his book but his hands have tighten their grip on the book just slightly.

Ludwig's eyes stare at the small angel, they soften, not noticing the other students at all, he's just looking at the small angel and the tears he's shedding for him. "You...You..." Ludwig doesn't seem to know what to say. He reaches out and puts a hand on the small angel's shoulder. "...Stop crying. You're so strange...crying for a reason like that." There's an odd look on the German's face.

"Do you see the way Ludwig is gripping the poor kid?!"

"That look on his face is scary! Shouldn't the teacher do something?"

"Ludwig is so scary, poor new kid."

"Why is it strange?" The small angel wipes at his eyes, his tears stopping finally as he blinks up at the German.

"Because...it just is! I'm not dying any time soon. My future is planned out. I will not let all my hard work go to waste I assure you." Ludwig lets go of the small angel to look down at his book. "...Do you feel better now?"

"I don't know..." The small angel tilts his head. "What do you have planned for your future?"

"...I don't want to share that with you. You're strange and cry over strangers but I will not open up to someone like you. You might be strange but I know your kind. I won't have you laughing at my dreams." Ludwig's piercing blue eyes get hard, his voice becoming cold.

"...I would never laugh at your dreams." The small angel says with a frown. Tthat's just mean. I have dreams too. People don't think I can do it.." The small angel glances away, thinking of Arthur's mean glare. "But I think If I work hard enough..I can do it! I'll try my best and I'll do good things for people!"

Ludwig glances over at the small angel, his gaze interested. "What are your dreams?" Ludwig's eyes widen and he quickly looks away. "Nein." He shakes his hand in a 'no' manner. "Let me guess. You want to run your father's business or run a hospital so you can 'help' people. Or maybe you want to be the manger of a famous super star. Am I right?"

"No. Ve why would I want a star?" The small angel tilts his head before he smiles slightly. "My dream...is to become better. To become great."

Ludwig stops fuming to look over at the small angel in surprise, those piercing blue eyes flashing. "...to be better?" Ludwig mumbles, staring at the small angel like he's a puzzle, a puzzle the German just can't seem to figure out.

"Alright class, hurry up and finish the questions. The bell will ring in a couple of minutes." The teacher grunts.

Ludwig's eye widen and he quickly starts flipping the pages. " Damn it! You're distracting me!" He snaps getting the small angel to tense. "Do your work!"

"Ve..." The small angel turns the pages and sees the questions...it asks about World War 2 but the small angel doesn't like war! He takes a piece of paper and writes. "War is bad. We shouldn't be fighting! Why fight when we could all just sleep together and hug each other? Make love not war! We should all love each other and show how we care!" The small angel makes a hum of approval before putting down his pencil.

The bell rings.

The humans start getting out of their seats, each handing the teacher a piece of paper. The small angel gets up quickly, grabbing his things as he glances over at Kiku, the raven haired human has already handed in his paper and is making his way out. "Ve wait up Kiku!" The small angel walks and hands the teacher his paper before turning on his heel and hurriedly following the short human.

The small angel easily loses him in the crowd, getting him to frown...He knows where to go but he's frowning because it seems Kiku is back to ignoring him. He needs to fix that. The small angel wants to be friends with Kiku. He wants to know why the human is so sad. He wants to make those empty eyes full of love and light.

The small angel was so focused on trying to see Kiku in the crowd of humans that he didn't see that someone had stepped in front of him. The small angel gasps when he bumps into something hard. "I-I'm sorry I didn't-" The small angel blinks when he recognizes those green orbs. His eyes widen and he smiles. "Oh Arthur! Sorry I didn't see you there-"

Arthur glares at the small angel, more so when he said his name. He glances behind the small angel before he looks at The small angel again. "Matthew has been treating me differently, and after some careful prying I've found out you talked to Matthew, told him we knew each other and that we were like 'brother's?' I thought I told you to stay out of my job." Arthur looks pissed, his eyes on fire.

"I-I'm sorry!" The small angel frowns, he was hoping Matthew wouldn't say anything to Arthur but he should have saw this coming. "It's just that Matthew was talking about not wanting to hang out with you anymore because he thought you were bullying me so I had to let him know you weren't!"

"I can fix my own messes! I was about to tell him how you stole from me but you gave him that sob story so it now looks like I'm the bad guy!" Arthur growls, by this point most of the students have stopped in the hallway to watch the scene.

"I told him you weren't! But...maybe if you apologize to me in front of Matthew he'll see that you have been forgiven so he-"

"Apologize?! To you? You were the one that was being an idiot! Seducing people!"

"What are you-"

"Listen to me." Arthur growls. "No matter what I decided to do to fix this, you are nothing to me." Arthur smacks the books in the small angel's hands, knocking them out of his hands, they fall on the floor. Some of the humans watching gasp, others laugh. The small angel looks at Arthur with hurt but the other angel just grunts. "Remember that." and then he walks away.

The small angel gets on his knees to start picking up his things, his frown deep. Arthur gets so mad at him...he only talked to Matthew because he was trying to help. He knew that Arthur would find out sooner or later. Athur is the best at seeing a lie. Matthew was acting differently...and then Arthur would ask him questions...The small angel feels guilty. Hopefully Matthew didn't try to lie for his sake.

The small angel feels like crying as he picks up his books... suddenly he sees another set of knees next to him. The small angel looks over in surprise when he sees Ludwig on his knees next to him, gathering the papers that are scattered on the floor. "O-Oh Ludwig! Ve it's okay I have it-"

"That guy is an ass hole." Ludwig snarls, getting the small angel to tense. "What does he have against you? I just came out of the class room when I saw him smack your books out of your hand. Does he enjoy picking on you or something?"

"I-"

"und that was no accident! I saw him smack these books out of your hands." Ludwig growls as he picks the rest of the books up before handing them to the small angel who hugs it to his chest.

"Thank you for helping me pick them up." The small angel smiles. "Arthur doesn't mean it he just-"

"Doesn't mean it?! Listen Feliciano. I think you should stay away from Arthur. He obviously has a problem with you." Ludwig frowns when he realizes all the humans staring at the small angel. "What the hell are you staring at?!" The humans wince and scurry off. "People need to mind their own business...All these people were here before me and they didn't do anything to help you did they? What happened before he knocked your books out of your hands?"

"...Well I accidentally bumped into him." The small angel frowns...thinking of how Arthur was mad for talking to Matthew when he wasn't suppose to. "...I need to be more careful. It was my fault."

"No, it wasn't." Ludwig says firmly getting the small angel to look at him in surprise. "It is not your fault that guy is a dick. He could have been civilized. So what if you bumped into him? This hallway is full of people, you're going to bump into someone." Ludwig fums, he seems so angry. He looks over at the small angel's puffy eyes and he scowls. "Come on Feliciano. We are going to be late for English class." Ludwig grabs The small angel's arm and starts marching off with him, still silently fuming.

Oh yeah...they do have English class together don't they? The small angel looks down at the hand on his arm and he can't help to tilt his head. Ludwig seems mad but not at him...at Arthur? Why? For knocking his stuff out of his hands? It was a bit mean...but Ludwig shouldn't get mad at Arthur. The small angel didn't listen to him.

Ludwig drags the small angel into their English class room just in time. All the humans gaze at them with confusion, some even start to whisper. The small angel can't help to wonder what they are talking about, when the German notices this too and quickly lets go of the small angel. He coughs into his hand, adverting his gaze. "Take your seat now and try to be more careful. Geez." He huffs, but his cheeks are turning pink again.

"Okay! I'll watch where I'm going." The small angel smiles, about to thank Ludwig again when the German turns quickly and walks down to his seat without him. The small angel frowns but when he sees Kiku in the back he smiles again.
"Kiku! Kiku! You'll never guess what Ludwig did! He helped me pick up my books! I thought he didn't like me but I think we're friends now!" The small angel smiles, running towards the young Japanese man. Kiku shifts, his are blank though as all the humans turn back to look at Kiku, then at Ludwig. The German's face is red and he's looking at The small angel with disbelief, before he snarls at the humans that looked at him. They quickly turn back around. Ludwig slams his hands down on his desk before he gets up and walks back to the smiling Small angel that has taken his seat next to Kiku.

"Hi Ludwig!" The small angel waves fast, his smile getting bigger. "I was just talking about you!"

"Ja I think the whole class heard you talking about me." Ludwig grumbles like he's angry, getting the small angel to frown.

"Ve sorry If I was loud! I just wanted to tell Kiku about how you're such a good guy! But I bet Kiku already knows that." The small angel beams, and though Ludwig looked angry when he marched back to the small angel, now he seems unsure. Those piercing blue eyes search the angel's face for something, but when he finds nothing, he gives the small angel a confused look, his cheeks heating up. Kiku looks up slightly at this, his blank eyes taking note of the change in the German.

"Would you stop saying things like that!" Germany snaps...before he sighs, glancing away. "It's embarrassing." He says in a more hushed voice. "I just helped you pick up your things, any human being with morals would do the same." Ludwig says loudly, turning his glare at the other humans who seem to look anywhere but Ludwig. "I did nothing special. I would have done it for anyone. Not just you." The German says quickly, crossing his arms.

"I know!" The small angel is practically bouncing out of his chair. "And that's what makes you so good Ludwig! You have a big heart!"

Kiku glances between The small angel and the flustered German but to the small angel it looks like the German is getting angry with him.

"Ve Ludwig-"

The bell rings.

Ludwig's eyes light up in relief and he quickly makes his way back to his desk to sit down. He sits stiffly, his eyes trained on the front strictly. The small angel frowns before looking over at Kiku who is staring forward just like the German. "I think I made Ludwig angry...his face got all red too!"

Kiku only blinks. The small angel is taken a back by it...Humans do blink but The small angel doesn't think he's ever seen Kiku do it...This means he's not watching him close enough! The small angel scoots his chair closer to Kiku...The raven haired human doesn't move away, his eyes on the teacher in the front that's starting to talk about words. Boring stuff. Stuff that doesn't matter.

"So..." The small angel frowns when Kiku ignores him again...Maybe he should try something else? "You like to draw?"

This gets Kiku to tense, his grip tightening on his pencil. He glances over at The small angel with wide eyes only to be met by a warm smile. Kiku relaxes only to look to the front again, with that blank look. The small angel is about to feel sad that Kiku ignored him again when he hears the human's voice. "Hai." Is all he says.

Hai? What does that mean? The angel closes his eyes, putting his hands together to pray to the Lord for insight of what this 'Hai' means. The small angel makes a 'ah' sound when it comes to him. He says a prayer of thanks before opening his eyes and smiling at Kiku. Hai means yes!

"Ooh! Me too! I like drawing flowers and clouds and people..." The small angel smiles. "What do you like drawing Kiku?"

Kiku seems a bit nervous...his black eyes shift for a moment, his fingers moving around his pencil before he glances out of the window next to him. "...I like drawing ideas...Drawings with meaning."

"Oh like the fish in the sky!" The small angel says excitedly, so, so happy Kiku is talking with him.

"Y-Yes." Kiku tenses before looking away from the window to look at the smiling angel. Those black eyes are not much different but they hold something. A emotion. Is it...hope? "Tell...did you really like it?"

"Of course! The detail you put in it was amazing!"

"...You didn't think it was stupid?...the idea of a fish in the sky?" Kiku mumbles, glancing away from the small angel, his eyes holding a far away look.

"But the idea isn't about a fish being in the sky! You made it like that to show not feeling like you belong. I thought it was a beautiful drawing that everyone can relate to in some way."

Kiku's grip on his pencil relaxes. His eyes go back blank. " I'm glad you see that. You are the first..." Kiku's voice changes at that but he doesn't look at the small angel. "Please. Could you not talk to me? It's hard to concentrate on the teacher."

"Oh sure!" The small angel smiles and quickly looks to the front, thinking the teacher started talking about something fun...

But he's just talking about words and how to say them...and write them...Why do humans have to learn about that? The small angel thought these humans spoke English...so why do they have to learn it? It's all very confusing for the small angel.

Feliciano can't help to feel himself start to nod off. This is so boring! How do these humans live through this? Is it going to be like this every day? Wait...now the teacher is telling them to read? About how to read? That doesn't make sense! The small angel raises his hand, frowning. The teacher stops talking to raise his eyebrow.

"Yes? What is it Feliciano?" At the teacher addressing him, a lot of humans turn back to look at him.

"I was just wondering why we have to read about how to read. If we didn't know how to read, how would we read the book on how to read?" The small angel smiles, waiting patiently for his answer. His question gets some kids to laugh for some reason. They look at the small angel differently...are they amused? Ludwig shakes his head, grunting as he goes back to his book, glaring at the words.

" Since you want to be smart Feliciano, why don't you come up and read your poem for the class." The teacher's eye twitches.

Poem? When did they do that? The small angel didn't write a poem! um...oh! Wait! His grandfather read him a poem before...He thinks. The small angel gets up and skips to the front of the class, not aware that the teacher is mad at him or that his skipping has made him madder. The small angel smiles at the humans that are all staring back at him. His eyes meet Ludwig's piercing blue eyes...he seems to have stopped his reading to stare at the small angel like everyone else. But he looks at him differently then the others. He doesn't seem amused. Kiku is just staring blankly at him.
The small angel closes his eyes...trying to remember the words.

"There once was a small angel who no one knew his name. He flapped his small wings rapidly when a human came to claim.

The small angel cried 'please don't take me. I have to fly to the sky.' He only stared at the angel's wings with contempt as he spoke 'you're going to die.'

The angel wailed and he begged 'Please let me go back. I have a job that has to be done'. The human scoffed 'A job? I have a job as well, your feathers will be worth a ton.'

The angel implored 'but sir, a young boy will die today if I'm not there to do my job!' The human grabbed the angel 'I have a family too, a family that I'm going to support with the money from your wings. I have a son too, his name is tom."

The angel became frantic 'Then please hold-" The angel was cut off by the sword that plunged into his chest, stopping the angel from saying what had to be told.

The human left the angel for death to take as he cheered and sung about how much these feathers would make.

He ran to tell his family of the good news, about the angels and the feathers too. The human busted into his home, but was not greeting by his child's laughter, he was greeting by a sob like boo hoo.

He found his beloved wife crying over the limp body of his beloved son...still warm from the life that use to be there. 'He was taken, our baby was taken by the angel of death' the woman sobbed, her soul a tear.

The man could only stare at the feathers of the angel in horror, remembering his words, his warnings. The man could only sob, as he fell to his knees and threw the feathers in the air, he was in morning.

For that angel was the guardian of his beloved son. The feathers that he thought were going to make him a ton, cost him everything, his son."

The small angel's lips feel weird after saying that...He remembers his grandfather telling him this poem from so long ago...It always made him sad. His grandfather said the human was being selfish and that's why he was punished...But the small angel is still sad. The human only wanted to give a better life to his family. It was wrong to kill the angel but...It still makes him sad.

The small angel opens his eyes. All the humans are staring at him with their mouths open. Even Ludwig and Kiku look shocked. The small angel frowns when he looks over at his teacher who has the same dumbfounded look. "D-Did I do something wrong?"

"N-No I just...I thought you didn't do the assignment I.." The teacher coughs into his hand before he starts to clap. "That was beautiful Feliciano, just beautiful! Your poem talks so clearly about human greed and how it comes back to get us. Beautiful! I will not doubt you again!"

Soon the other humans are clapping. One human girl in the back wipes her eyes and claps louder. Ludwig hesitantly claps, a small smile on his lips. Kiku doesn't clap, he's still looking at the small angel with amazement.

"W-Wow I'm glad you guys liked it! I kind of thought...you guys would get offended by it." The small angel bites his lip. He didn't want the humans to get mad at him. Why are they looking at him in awe?

"Nonsense! It doesn't' matter if we got offended! This a great poem on human greed. You get a A for today Mr. Vargas. You can go back to your seat now."

"Oh o-okay." The small angel walks nervously back...all the humans are looking at him differently...the small angel looks over at the girl that was crying, about to ask if she's okay when suddenly she puts her thumb near her ear and her pinky near her lips. She mouths something that looks like 'call me.' before winking. The small angel notices she's wearing a lot of black. "Ve I don't know your name to call you but a pretty girl like you shouldn't be wearing all black! I bet you would look good in brighter colors! Bright like your eyes!" The small angel smiles.

Everyone gasps and looks over at the girl for some reason. They seemed shock he would say something like that. Why? It's the truth. The girl looks at the small angel with wide eyes...before her cheeks tint and she smiles. It's almost shy as she twirls her hair with her finger. " Black is just my thing but I could try some brighter colors, just for you sweetheart."

"Oh okay well-" The small angel smiles back only to be grabbed by his arm and yanked away. "Ve?" The small angel tenses only to relax when he sees it's Ludwig who pulled him away. He looks mad though. His eye twitching.

"Sit down. Flirt with girls on your own time." Ludwig fums before he lets go of the small angel, sitting in his chair, he glares at anyone who looks at him.

The small angel tilts his head. flirt? What does he mean? The small angel sighs and walks back to his seat, sitting next to Kiku-

"That was...quite beautiful." Kiku says nervously, not looking at the small angel, he fiddles with his pencil. "I didn't know you had such a way with words...are you into all forms of art?"

"Well actually my grandfather told me that poem a long time ago...I guess he made it up." The small angel smiles, his eyes getting a far away look. "He told me it was a poem about human greed...he told me this poem so I would be wary of humans. He said that human greed doesn't have a limit. The man in the poem killed a child angel. He didn't care as long as he got the money from his wings. It still makes me sad though..." The small angel frowns. "Tell me Kiku...do you feel bad for the man who killed the angel for money?"

"...I do not know." Kiku puts a finger to his chin, seeming to really think about it. "He lost his son...but it was because of his own selfishness. He would still have his son if he didn't kill the angel." Kiku closes his eyes. "Honestly...I feel the most for the small angel that died."

"Really?" Feliciano blinks, looking over at Kiku.

"Hai...the child angel was in a place it didn't belong. In a world different from his...and because of that, he was swallowed up by it. He didn't die with his family...he died and was stripped bare by the human. He only wanted to do good...but was put to death before he could."

"Wow..." The small angel stares at Kiku with wide eyes...before he smiles fondly. "Ve you're very deep Kiku!"

"I guess...I just see things differently." Kiku glances away, seeming nervous again. "U-Um...so you didn't write the poem? Ah I see... " Kiku calms down. "...but I overheard that you...play the harp?"

"Yeah! I don't want to boast but god has blessed me with this ability so I'm happy to tell you I'm really good because of him!" The small angel beams.

"Ah I see. You are religious." Kiku smiles slightly at that, before his face goes completely blank.

"...What instruments do you play?" The small angel tilts his head, wanting the conversation to keep going on.

"Ah, well I-" Kiku gets nervous again only for the bell to ring. Kiku sighs in relief before he stands up, grabbing his things, before he quickly leaves.

"W-Wait Kiku!" The small angel frowns, trying to get his stuff up in time to follow Kiku but by the time he looks up, he's gone. "Aw." The small angel's curl droops. They were having such a good conversation too!

Before the small angel can even move from his seat, that darkly dressed girl is in front of him, blocking his way. He smiles at her as he stands up, tilting his head at the odd smile on her lips. "Ve hi! Is something wrong?"

"No, no nothing at all sweetly." She bites her lip and looks the small angel up and down...is there something wrong with what he's wearing? The small angel can't help to notice that a lot of humans have stopped to look over at the two. Even Ludwig has stopped getting his things together to frown over at The small angel...why does he look sad? Or is he mad? The small angel can't tell with the German's face!

"Omg. Five bucks says Rosa is going to take the new kid and fuck him in the bathroom."

"She'll fuck anyone she can get."

"What a waste. That boy was cute too..."

"Maybe he'll turn her down..."

"Turn her down? Have you seen her tits?"

The small angel is oblivious to the other human's words as suddenly the girl leans in close, bending over to make it noticeable that her shirt isn't button properly. " How about you and me go someplace? I know some where that no one will find us...or hear us." She breathes this out, sounding like a purr.

Ludwig closes his eyes, glaring away before he turns, about to leave-

"Ve miss, your shirt is unbuttoned." The small angel smiles at her confused look. "You wouldn't want to show so much skin. It causes lust. You want people looking at your pretty face anyway." The small angel pats her on the head.

The girl looks at him with big eyes...she looks shocked, her face red. All the humans seem in shock...The small angel doesn't get it. "T-That's...so nice." The human girl looks at the small angel differently...before she buttons her shirt up. She clears her throat, seeming embarrassed now. "Uh...sorry about that. I'm Rosa..."

"Hi Rosa! I'm Feliciano!" The small angel smiles brightly. "Let's be friends!"

The human girl only smiles before she walks away...the other humans look at her with shocked expressions before looking back at the small angel who waves at them.

"He's gay." A guy grunts before all the humans start to walk out. The small angel didn't see the relief in Ludwig's eyes when he turned the girl down, nor did he see how the German's eyes flashed at the guy's statement. The German shifts from foot to foot, seeming impatient as the small angel walks towards him with his books, smiling.

"That was...uh...what you did with Rosa..." Ludwig starts to speak up it's hard to understand what he's saying as the two walk together out of the room. "That was...nice what you did with Rosa. I thought you were going to take her up on her offer. Most guys here do." Ludwig shakes his head before glancing over at the small angel. "Don't uh...feel bad for what that dick said. I turned her down, and he said the same thing about me."

"What did he say?" The small angel tilts his head. "Sorry I didn't hear him."

"He said you were...well...gay." Ludwig says slowly, searching the small angel's eyes for something.

Now...lets keep in mind that the small angel thinks gay means happy. That's how it's used in heaven. Men who love men are called homosexuals.

"Oh! I am!" The small angel says happily, getting Ludwig to sputter and to look at him with wide eyes. The small angel smiles. "I'm really gay-"

"Don't say t-that out loud dummkopf!" Ludwig quickly covers the small angel's mouth, looking around for something. The small angel notices that they are the only ones in the hallway. Uh oh! That means class is about to start! And he doesn't even remember where his math class is!

"Why not?" the small angel tilts his head when Ludwig releases his mouth. The German's face is really red the small angel notices.

"Because!..." Ludwig glances away before sighing, his cheeks still red. "You should keep stuff like that to yourself. Being gay here is frowned upon and you already have enough bullies as it is."

"It's frown upon?" The small angel gasps. How can being happy be frowned upon...wait a minute...is that why all the classes are so boring?! Because they don't want the humans to be happy?! "Ve that's horrible!"

"...I suppose it is." Ludwig loosens his tie a little bit before looking back at the small angel. "...So...you really are...gay?" There's an odd look in Ludwig's eyes.

"Yeah!" The small angel responds. "...Oh but that's bad right..." The small angel's curl droops. "because it's frowned upon here..."

"No. it's not bad at all." Ludwig says quickly, firmly, surprising the small angel to look up at him. Ludwig is blushing darkly now. "Don't um...don't ever think it's bad. No matter what anyone says. I know it's hard...but don't ever think it's bad being who you are. I've learned that the hard way."

"What do you mean?" The small angel tilts his head...So it's good that' he's happy even though it's frowned upon? Or Ludwig is saying it is...

"...Since you came out to me, I'll tell you. I'm gay as well." Ludwig's face could be a tomato. "But if you tell anyone I will-"

"Really? You're gay?" The small angel smiles so brightly, grabbing onto Ludwig's hands to smile at him. "That's so great! I'm glad!" it's so nice that Ludwig is happy too!

The German sputters, the redness reaching his ears as he looks at the small angel differently...instead of pulling his hands away he starts to rub his thumb gently against the small angel's hands. "I-I suppose it is." Ludwig offers him a smile...He's leaning closer-

"Yo! Feliciano is that you?" A loud voice shouts from the end of the hallway. Ludwig quickly lets go of the small angel to look over...Just in time for Alfred to run all the way down the hall to tackle The small angel into a hug. "Holy shit! I was just thinking about you!"

"Ve really?" The small angel smiles up at Alfred who is holding him in a bear hug. Ludwig's blush leaves him as he looks between Alfred and the small angel...his eyes flash with something...before he glances away, a hurt look on his face. "Ludwig what's-"

The bell rings.

"Damn it! You made me late you dummkopf!" Ludwig snaps, his eyes on fire getting the small angel to whimper. His face is a deep scowl now as he grips his fist and marches away.

Leaving the small angel wondering what he did wrong this time.


Second chapter! Thank you for your reviews! I'll keep the pairings in mind. I actually made that poem myself, sorry if it sucked haha. I tried to make it rhyme. Aw, Feli doesn't even know how his actions are just spreading more rumors. That darkly dressed girl wasn't anyone. Is anyone surprised, finding out Arthur and Feli use to be close? Kiku finally talked in this chapter. So please review and tell me what you think!
