Chapter Two
Ludwig spell checked the article and sent the document. Last one. I can go to sleep. His contribution to the city's largest newspaper was important; he spent hours on it, to make sure every last letter was perfect. Not just for the pay, of course. People read my column, so I'll make sure it's enjoyable, at least. The pay was definitely part of it, though. Money earned from his baking-and-sausage-making job kept him in decent clothes and paid the mortgage for his flat, but every penny of his newspaper job was invested in the publication of his book manuscripts. Ludwig was still writing his future best-seller, and until he finished it, his working arrangements would stay the same.
He got into his bed and waited patiently for the little Italian. Ludwig would never admit it, but Feliciano wasn't the worst. The man was actually rather cute. Still irritating, but not so bad, ja? He's the reason I have to keep my window open at night, risking burglaries, but the poor excuse for a man is my co-worker.
And, well, my first friend in this country. Ludwig had always been rather awkward, but Feliciano could overlook his stiffness, for which the German was grateful. Allowing him to sleep beside Ludwig was returning the favor. Ludwig had grown accustomed to the cuddly Italian. I hear him now...did I open the window wide enough? He breathed in deeply, pretending to be asleep. Feliciano flopped onto the bed. "Ve~ Luddy's so cute when he's asleep!" Ludwig was thankful for the darkness, as his face turned a dark shade of crimson. He felt the thin arms encircling his waist, small face pressed into his back. Feliciano giggled. "Good night, Luddy." He fell asleep almost immediately. Ludwig smiled.
"Good night, Feli."
