Ludwig dove for the ball, missing it on purpose. "Vell, I guess you vin. Vhat do you vant for a prize?" he asked, getting to his feet and smiling at Feli. Zis should be interesting. I vonder vhat she'll ask me for? I hope it's something zhat vee can do togezer.

Feli blushed, her eyes wide. "Um...I...maybewecouldgooutfordinnerto night?" she asked, her last phrase slurring together as she rushed the words and turned away shyly.

Ludwig's eyes widened. She vants to go out for dinner vith me? Is zis really happening? "Yes, of course!" he said aloud. He walked over to her and hugged her. "I'd love to." he whispered into her ear as he held her close.

Feliciana turned a vibrant red and beamed. She returned his hug. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she exclaimed, looking up at him.

Ludwig gazed into her golden eyes and, without thinking, leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, his eyes closing.

Feliciana froze, then relaxed, closing her eyes. She melted into the kiss as warmth flooded through her veins. He's kissing me! Ludwig is kissing me!

Ludwig realized what he was doing and pulled back. "I-I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have-" he broke off from his guilty apologies when Feliciana pressed her finger to his lips.

"Don't be." She whispered affectionately. "That...that was amazing." she took her finger away and gently pressed her lips to his, closing her eyes once more.

Ludwig couldn't help but press back, deepening the kiss a bit. He moved one hand to the back of her head and held her close. Vow. Zis is fantastic. She's so sveet. Something about her...she intoxicates me. She fits in my arms perfectly, as if she vas made to be zere.

Feli's heart pounded and she lost herself in her own world. He likes me. Enough to kiss me. His lips are so soft and sweet and he's so strong. I feel safe here, with him. He's just perfect. She thought to herself.

Ludwig pulled away to breathe and gazed into her eyes. He stroked her hair gently, lovingly. His fingers brushed her odd little curl and he was surprised when she let out a soft moan. "Vhat's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"N-nothing. It just...It felt odd when you touched my curl. I liked it, though." She replied, her heart doing backflips. What was that? Why did I feel so strange when he touched my curl? I'll as Lovina about it later.

Ludwig smiled. "Vant me to do it again?" he asked her softly, a note of mischief in his voice.

Feliciana nodded. "Oh, yes. Yes, I do." she replied eagerly How could I say no? His voice...it's seductive. I never want him to stop talking.

Ludwig gently tugged on her curl and chuckled at her soft moan. She's so adorable. Somezing about her...I vant her to be mine and mine alone. I vonder if she feels the same about me? He let go and kissed her forehead. "Ich liebe dich." he crooned.

Feli looked at him. "What?"

Ludwig laughed softly. "Sorry. I forgot you don't speak German. It means, 'I love you.'" he replied.

Feli blushed. "I...I love you, too." she murmured softly, smiling up at him.

"You do, do you? Vell, in zat case...vill you be my girlfriend?" Ludwig asked her, smiling. She loves me! Does zat mean she'll be mine?

Feli's eyes widened. HE wants ME to be his girlfriend?! Oh my gosh! This...this just can't be happening! "Are you kidding me? YES! A million times, YES!"

Ludwig chuckled. "Zat's good. I vas afraid you'd say no. Afterall, vee only met each ozer today. But you said yes, so I'm happy. Of course, my bruder vill tease me endlessly now, but it's more zan vorth it."

Feli didn't know what to say, so she just smiled up at him.

Ludwig squeezed her gently and reached up to her curl, tugging it once more, prompting yet another moan from his new girlfriend. "You like zat, miene liebe?" he asked her softly. When she merely nodded, he tugged it once more, a little harder this time. Her moans sent chills through his body and gave him an odd feeling that wasn't altogether unpleasant. Vhy does she make me feel like zis? he wondered, rubbing her curl between his fingers. She's so vunderba, and she vanted to be my girlfriend. She's miene liebe, now, so I have to protect her and take care of her. I vant her to be happy.

At that moment, the bell rang to signal the period was over, and the two broke apart reluctantly. They shared one last kiss before heading off towards their individual classes.
