Part 2

Ludwig POV

That night, After Katyusha asked me to formal, I was sitting in my room doing homework when Gilbert burst into my room. I glared at him as he plopped onto my bed, messing it up completely. "Bruder. Could you please get out. I'm working on my homework." He just laughed and shook his head. "Not yet kleiner bruder, I have got to congratulate you ." I raised an eyebrow. He considered me a failure because I didn't 'have fun' . Why should I waste my time partying ? I have plenty of other things to do . "What did I do?" He got laughed. An especially annoying one. "You're going to formal with that Ukrainian chick, Ja? The one with enormous knockers? Someone saw her asking you. "

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to formal with Katyusha." Gil's jaw dropped and for once he shut up. "W-Was?! Lud, you're passing up the chance of a lifetime! She's insanely hot!" I sighed . "I'm just not interested in that , okay?" Gil looked puzzled. "Are you gay? Because I completely understand if you are." My hand met my face. "Nein, I'm straight. I just don't like her. I love someone else." Gil regained his confident composer. "Oh really? Who?" I blushed. "N-No one!" He smirked "Come on Lud, tell me!"

I looked to the floor nervously "_-_." Gil looked shocked. "_? The twig?" I nodded. "She's not that thin, you know." Gil laughed . "Guess you are gay after all , Lud! She's so flat chested , she looks like a little boy!" I gritted my teeth. How dare he?! "Get out of my room , Gilbert!" He got up from my bed and laughed as he exited the room. "Ja, Ja, whatever you say, Luddy!" He slammed the door behind him and I let out a ragged breath. Why did he always insist on being such a nuisance!

I turned back to my desk and tried to work on my homework, but I couldn't. All I could think about was _. I personally loved her slim figure, so small and petite. I rubbed the bridge of my nose in aggravation. I couldn't possibly tell her though. I just don't know how. Besides, what if she said no? I was just socially awkward Ludwig Beilschmit. How I wish that I could be charismatic and confident like my older brother. Of course I would never tell him this. I do have my pride. I'll just take my little secret to the grave.

I just shut my book and started getting ready for bed. Oh how I wanted _ in my arms, to feel her body close to mine, to hear her heart beat. I settled for holding a body close to me when I went to bed. Maybe one day I would get to hold her close or I would end up leaving it as it was, a silly little crush on a girl who's way out of my league. I'll end up moving away to collage and find a different girl, get married, have kids, and look back on all of this with amusement. My high school crush. I would sit around and laugh about how obsessed I was about her. I clutched the pillow closer, hesitantly kissing it before whispering against it "Good night _. I love you." Wow, I was going to need professional help at this rate. . .

Your POV

After yesterday, you ran straight home and hid in your room. You really didn't want to go to school, but you had to. You walked up to the gate slowly, hoping that Kat wouldn't be there, but she was. She waved to you cheerfully as she ran up to you. You glared at her. "What do you want Katyusha?" She looked extremely hurt. Good. You wanted her feelings hurt, just like yours. "Is something the matter, _? What happened?" You about blew a fuse. "What happened?! Gil shove a burger down my throat and when I left the bathroom , I saw you talking to Ludwig and asking him to formal! I bet he agreed didn't he?" Katyusha looked to the ground. "He didn't. He said no."

You just shook your head. "Still, why did you ask him? You know I love him!" She started to cry slightly. "You're the one always telling me I should be more confident! At least I took a chance! You need to ask him before some other girl gets to him first!" She stomped off and you stood wondering what to do. Should you do what she did and just go up and ask him? What if he said no, that you weren't anywhere near good enough for him?
You just hung your head and walked to class.

Thankfully Gilbert avoided you today so he could tease his brother, It allowed you to concentrate how to ask Ludwig. Soon class let out for lunch and you caught up with Ludwig . He was walking with his brother, trying to block out his annoying laugh from the look of it. You stopped before you reached him and took a deep breath. It's now or never girl! You could do this! Just walk up to him and ask him if he wants to go to the winter formal with you . Simple. Easy as pie. No problem.

You cleared your throat and called out to Ludwig. He turned in surprise. "Guten tag _." You gave him a warm smile and tried to ignore Gilbert glaring at you. "Hey Ludwig, I was just wondering if you wanted to go to winter formal with me." He looked shocked, you took it as a sign of rejection. "I mean - I understand if you don't want to . . ." He smiled and nodded. "I would love to go to formal with you. I've had an enormous crush on you for a while." You then promptly fainted.

A Month later

Katyusha uncovered your eyes and you gasped as you looked into the full length mirror. You looked amazing. Katyusha made your dress as a way of apologizing . You had already accepted it, but she insisted. It was a beautiful (color) dress with frills on the front to make your chest look bigger. She was truly an excellent seamstress!

She smiled double checked the sticking in some parts worriedly. You smiled and shook your head. "Calm down Kat, everything's fine ! I trust your amazing sewing skills." She blushed. "O-oh it's nothing special!" You turned in the mirror and smiled. "You'd better get ready too, Kat , That poor canadian boy will be disappointed if you don't show up. What was his name again?" Kat looked down, her face a bright cherry red. "Matthew. Matthew Williams. . ."

You smiled and daydreamed of you and Ludwig dancing .

Ludwig POV

I stood in the bathroom and straightened my bow tie as I whistled a tune. My brother leaned in the doorway and sighed dramatically. "Bruder, I thought I raised you better." I rolled my eyes "Vati raised me, dummkopf." Gil just shook his head. "I can't believe you're dating that little twig. I mean, come on!" stopped and smiled, away in my own little world. _ and I dating, It sounded nice. I was ripped from my daydream when my brother waved a hand in front of my face. "Hallo-o! Luddy? You avake in zere?" I blinked my eyes and nodded. "Ja, Ja. " I finished slicking my hair and left the bathroom.

Reader POV

You stood in front of the ballroom the school had rented, waiting for Ludwig. You fiddled with part of your dress and rocked back and forth on your feet. Katyusha had already left with that one guy, whatever his name was, and you were excited. Suddenly he walked around the corner towards you. He blushed and smiled softly when he saw you. "Guten Abend _. You look beautiful." you blushed and looked away. "T-Thanks." He cleared his throat and held out his hand "Shall we go in?" You nodded and walked with him into the crowded ball room.
