Feliciano moaned quietly as light played across his eyelids, not wanting to wake up. After a few minutes, when he knew he wouldn't fall back asleep, he turned on his side and opened his eyes only to get a huge shock. Near him, in front of a dresser, was a naked man, his back towards him, looking through the drawers. His mind slowly supplied him with the name Ludwig as he remembered last night. He could now see that his back was broad and muscular, with sweat running down, down, down, his spine to.. He looked away before taking another peek, noting how his ass was just as tanned and toned as the rest of him. I wish he'd turn around, he couldn't help but think, wanting to see what the rest of the front looked like. As if he had heard him, Ludwig turned, facing him. There was a moment of awkward silence as both of their eyes met. Feliciano barely got any time to admire the front before Ludwig quickly turned back around and dug through the dresser in front of him until he took out a pair of pants and put them on. When he was done, he spun around and coughed into his hand, looking away slightly as his face was covered in red.
"I'm sorry, I thought you would stay asleep as I got dressed."
"...Why are you naked?" Ludwig blushed more.
"I just came back from a run." Feliciano's eyes widened.
"You ran...naked?" Ludwig shook his head viciously.
"No, I meant as a wolf." Feliciano nodded.
"Oh, okay." He sat up in bed and got out stretching, his shirt sliding up just a little to show a sliver of stomach. Ludwig blushed and turned around.
"If you go straight down the hall, Gilbert and Elizaveta are having breakfast, so you can eat while I get dressed." Feliciano nodded and left him. When he reached the room, the two were already eating bacon and eggs. ELizaveta smiled at him.
"Hey, Feli. Would you like some too?" Feliciano nodded eagerly. He sat down and Elizaveta set a plate before. He took a big bite of the eggs.
"This is really good!" Elizaveta's chest puffed up in pride.
"Thank you sweetheart, I made it." As Feliciano dug in, he remembered the markings on the door he saw last night. He swallowed the food in his mouth before he spoke up.
"How come there were markings on the door of the room I slept in last night?" Gilbert brought his hand up in a claw shape and he pretended to snarl.
"Did it look like a big wolf had scratched it?" Feliciano nodded.
"That must have been Ludwig's room. We all mark our rooms with our scents and claws so others will know it's our territory."
"So I slept in Ludwig's bed last night?" He blushed a little at the thought of it. I wonder if he sleeps naked, he wondered, blushing more. At that moment, Ludwig walked in, fully dressed, to the disappointment of a small part of looked over at him.
"We should probably take you home. You probably have someone waiting for you, right?" Feliciano felt a little sad at leaving such interesting people, but he knew that his brother was probably worrying about him right now. He nodded and was getting up when he suddenly collapsed, falling to his knees. Ludwig quickly crouched down beside him, his face filled with concern.
"What's wrong?" He asked. Feliciano looked up at him, panting from the heat that had suddenly grown inside him and a blush began to spread across his face.
"My body feels really weird. It's so hot. What's wrong with me?" Ludwig muttered a curse and suddenly scooped Feliciano up bridal style. He carried him back to his own room, kicking open the door. He softly laid the panting Feliciano onto his bed. He turned to go, but Feliciano grabbed his wrist.
"Please don't leave me." Ludwig pulled his hand off.
"I'm getting something that will help you. I'll only be gone a few minutes." Feliciano shook his head. The last thing he wanted was to be alone. Ludwig looked to the door before looking back at him and sighing.
"I'm going to help you now, but you're going to have to trust me, understand?" Feliciano nodded, not caring what he did, as long as he did away with this heat. Ludwig leaned over him, placing a hand on each side of his head before suddenly kissing him. Feliciano's eyes widened and he laid there in shock until the heat inside him demanded him to respond. When Ludwig licked his lower lip, asking for entrance, he gave it. Ludwig's tongue delved into his mouth, exploring the moist cavern. Feliciano eagerly responded, wrapping his tongue around Ludwig's. Ludwig cupped Feliciano's face with his hand as he kissed Feliciano even deeper. When they could hold their breaths no longer, Ludwig leaned back just a little, lightly touching his forehead to Feliciano's and looking into his eyes.
"Do you feel any better?" Feliciano nodded a little shakily, still a tad dazed from both the heat and the kiss. Ludwig let a smile slip through before his expression became impassive and he straightened. He quickly left, closing the door behind him. Feliciano frowned sadly and sat up, curling his legs up so his head rested on his knees. Why did he kiss me? he wondered. And why did he leave right after? Did he hate kissing me? A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Gilbert walked in.
"Ludwig told me to take you home." He showed a piece of paper.
"Liz gave me directions to your place, since she still remembered." Feliciano nodded and stood, quietly following Gilbert to the car. During the ride, Gilbert spoke.
"I love my brother, but he's an idiot." Feliciano looked at him, surprised by his irritated tone.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that he's a moron. He doesn't know what to do around a person he likes."
"You mean he's never liked someone before?"Gilbert snorted.
"Are you kidding? Before you, I didn't even know he had a libido." He shook his head
"I'm still in shock that he bit you." He glanced over at Feliciano.
"Did he explain to you what happened before?" Feliciano shook his head.
"Do you know what happened to me?" Gilbert nodded.
"When someone is bitten, they'll sometimes go into...well, heat before they first turn." Feliciano's eyes widened.
"Wait a minute, so you're saying I'm going to get horny randomly?!" Gilbert winced.
"That's a way of putting, I suppose. It's not too bad. After a few moons, you get used to it and learn how to push it down."
"Few moons? I thought you just said it only happened to the newly bitten."
"Oh, during the full moon after you've turned, we get kind of horny, which is why we usually spend it with our life-mates."
"Life-mate?" Gilbert waved his hand around as he tried to figure out how to explain.
"A life-mate is the person we spend the rest of our lives with. We can have girlfriends or boyfriends, but we can only have one life-mate. Once you have a life-mate, you can never get with another person for the rest of your life. Actually, Everyone who isn't an Alpha can only change one person, so we usually use it on the one we have chosen as a life-mate. For example, I changed Liz because I love her." He smiled as he said the last comment
"During the full moon is when you're supposed to be with your life-mate. It's supposed to be a special time in which you hunt and make love and simply become closer. Most wolves can't stand being alone during the full moon. Of course, I have my beautiful Liz to spend my time with." He shook his head.
"I'll never understand how Luddy can stand being alone all these years. It must be very tough for him."
"Why was he alone?"
"Because he never looked for a mate before." Feliciano looked at him shyly.
"Do you really think he likes me?"
"Of course he does, he's just too much of a kid to acknowledge it. Oh, we're here." Gilbert pulled up beside the curb and stopped the car. Feliciano got out and stepped onto the sidewalk.
"Well, see you later." Feliciano waved as he drove off before going inside, still thinking of their conversation. I He sighed as he closed the door behind them.
"Where the hell have you been?!" Feliciano looked to see his brother, Lovino, waiting on the stairs, glaring at him.
"I'm fine, Lovi. I was just...out." Lovino scowled but didn't say anything, opting to stomp up the stairs to his room. Feliciano sighed again and plopped down in his couch, thinking about what he would say the next time he saw Ludwig.
