A sharp pain shot through his shoulder the moment he regained consciousness. It felt like someone had pierced a sword straight through his left shoulder and left it there. He could not even breathe properly due to the pain. To make matters worse, the strange, stinging feeling was still there. It had already spread to the whole of his body. Everywhere, from his gut to his fingers and toes, were stinging.
Ludwig slowly opened his eyes and squinted at the glaring white lights. Finally, his eyes adjusted to the bright light and he opened them slowly. The ceiling was a strange shade of green, a colour that was usually only used in hospitals... He tried to sit up to take a look at his surroundings but winced and hissed in pain.
The sound alerted one of the nearby doctors and he walked over to check on Ludwig.
"Good morning Mr... Mr Beilschmidt. You are lucky to be alive after losing so much blood. How are you feeling?" the doctor asked, looking over his clipboard and then at the German.
"I... I'm fine..." he strained, his voice dry and hoarse from disuse. He had been out for days and he had not had a drop of water. It made his throat dry and itchy as well. He tried to swallow, to possibly lubricate his throat, but his mouth was dry as well. Despite his discomfort, he continued, "w-where am I...?" He knew he was in a hospital and it was a stupid question, but he had to be sure.
"You are in a hospital, Mr. Beilschmidt." He thought it was obvious, but maybe the patient had lost too much blood... "In the last few days when you were out, we treated and disinfected your wounds, so we are sure there is no infection, and also gave you a blood transfusion. We also found a strange substance in your blood... It seemed like a venom, but it's not harmful. And we were not able to remove it. If you experience any odd discomforts, please tell us. It might be due to that." he said while looking over Ludwig's bandages and vital statistics, making sure he was alright.
Ludwig just nodded slightly in response. There was not much else he could do that would not hurt. The venom... It worried him though... Maybe that was why his whole body was stinging? But there was something more important he had to ask...
"Where are my friends? Are they alright?" he asked, worried. If he was in this state, then they could be in an equally bad state, or worse...
"You don't need to worry, they are fine. The Japanese man had to leave because he had an important appointment with his boss. And the Italian... We had to force him to leave... He was disturbing the other patients around you..."
Ludwig let out a sigh in relief. At least if they were allowed to go home, he knew they were fine.
The doctor talked to Ludwig for a while about his condition and left soon after.
The next week passed quickly. Ludwig remained in the hospital bed the whole week. But since he was a nation, his wounds healed quickly. By the end of the week, he could sit up, walk, and move his arm a little. The strange sting also slowly went away, reducing to a throb, and was gone by the end of the week. He was discharged from the hospital three days later.
The first place he headed for was his home. Who knew what his brother could have done while he was away? The house was probably a mess... A mess that smelled of beer... He shivered at the thought and silently hoped for the best.
When he finally got home and opened the front door, the first thing he heard was his brother's loud voice.
"Weeeeeeeeeest... Your boyfriend's been here since you disappeared~ And I've been eating nothing but pasta since then! Make me wusrt, West~ Make your awesome bruder wurst~~~"
"Bruder, he's not my-" Before he could finish, he was attacked by a certain Italian. Ludwig winced a little at the pain, but Feliciano obviously took no notice. The Italian had his arms tightly wrapped around his middle, nuzzling his face against the other's chest.
"Luddy! I'm so happy to see you~" Feliciano said, nuzzling against Ludwig more. The German smiled softly but quickly forced his smile away and pushed Feliciano off him lightly. The Italian pouted and quickly clung to his arm instead. Ludwig sighed and walked further into the house, into the living room, with Feliciano trailing behind him, still clinging on to his arm.
When they got to the living room, Ludwig had the greatest urge to unite his face with his palm. Unfortunately, Feliciano was clinging on to his good arm, and he could not raise the other. The living room, to put it simply, was a mess. Most of the furniture was out of place, empty beer cans were strewn all over the floor, and there were pasta stains all over the place. His 'bruder', on the other hand, was lying, upside down, on the sofa. His head and shoulders were on the seat while his legs hung over the top.
"Hey West!" Gilbert yelled from his position on the sofa and waved at his younger brother. "Make me wurst~"
The rest of the day continued as any other day, except there was a lot more cleaning to do. And it was all thanks to his 'awesome older brother'. Gilbert made him cook dinner and Feliciano stayed as usual.
All went well for the next two or three weeks. Ludwig's wounds healed very quickly. He regained movement of his arm in the first two weeks, and most of the pain was gone by the third week.
That day had been almost exactly a month from when the Axis had gone on their camping trip. It would be a full moon that day, and Feliciano wanted to give Ludwig a surprise. He would sneak into the German's house and drag him outside to see the pretty full moon~ Ludwig worked too much and needed a chance to relax~ Feliciano smiled to himself, it was a great idea!
At home, Ludwig worked into the evening. By then, his shoulder hardly hurt anymore and he could work properly. He had planned to work deep into the night to catch up on his work, but there was something wrong... He felt weak, tired, and dizzy. Worst of all, the stinging feeling was back. He could not concentrate, not like this. After struggling to even stay awake, he gave up and decided to go to bed early. He walked upstairs to his bedroom, leaning against the walls for support. He happened to pass a clock on the way up and saw that it was only 8pm. It was early, but he was really too tired. When he finally reached his bed, he fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow.
Later that night, Feliciano managed to sneak into Ludwig's house through the back door. He scuttled around the house, looking for his friend. But he was surprised when he did not see him anywhere, not even at his work desk... Unless Ludwig went to bed that early...? That was not normal... But there was no harm in checking! Feliciano happily ran up the stairs, forgetting that he was supposed to be sneaking around. He ran to Ludwig's room and flung the door open to see Ludwig sleeping soundly on the bed. He was just about to call out to his friend when Ludwig's eyes suddenly snapped open.
Ludwig had been shocked awake by a sharp pain that shot through his body, a sharp pain that felt like a stronger, more concentrated version of the sting. His eyes snapped open and he screamed, his back arching of the bed. He saw Feliciano standing at the doorway at the corner of his eye, but it did not register into his brain. It hurt too much...
Feliciano watched in horror as he saw the German convulse in pain. He gasped and covered his mouth with a hand as he saw something even worse. The back of Ludwig's pants suddenly split open, a thick, golden, and furred tail lashing out. Feliciano watched as the German's toes curled in pain, his hands and feet beginning to deform. The bones grew larger, becoming more defined. Claws grew out from where his finger and toe nails should have been. As he screamed, Feliciano saw his teeth lengthen, sharpening at the ends, forming razor sharp fangs. His newly grown claws dug into the mattress as two golden, pointed ears sprouted out of the top of his head. A layer of golden fur now covered his hands and feet, getting less as it progressed up his limbs.
Ludwig finally calmed down, and lay back down onto the bed. He was panting, but it sounded... Different... It sounded almost like a cross between a low growl and deep breaths. Ludwig, or rather, the 'creature', slowly rolled over and pushed itself up onto all four limbs. It steadied itself on the bed and turned to look at Feliciano. The Italian was frozen in fear. The creature was staring straight at him, it's icy blue eyes almost glowed in the dark room. He knew it was Ludwig, it still looked like Ludwig! But he was still frozen with fear.
"L-ludwig...?" he whispered softly. The creature growled in response, it's ears pressing down against its head, and pounced.
