-Ludwig's pov-

When I opened the door I was greeted by an unusual sight. Mattew had a patient. that however wasn't the unusual part. the patient was a man I had never seen before. His back and shoulders appeared to be wounded, he was painfully thin and his hair was a soft shade of aburn. He turned to look at me and my heart skipped a painful beat. I found myself wondering what was sacrificed to create this beautiful creature, and what monster hurt him. He was in short with his soft features and brandy colored eyes, an angel.

"Who are you?" I inquired as I closed the door behind me.

"F-Feliciano."he stuttered nervously in a soft voice.

"Well what are doing here Feliciano?" I asked.

"the Queen chose me as Jack." So that was what Kiku meant when he said he was going on an 'outing'.

"Where is Kiku?" I asked.

"He said he was going to the garden." he blushed. why is he blushing? "What's your name?" he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Ludwig." his eyes widened and he stood in the attempt to bow but fell over instead.

"Owwwwwwwww." he complained.

Matthew sighed "Why am I not suprised?" he mused "Oh yeah because you are malnurished! Ludwig I suggest you help him take a bath then give him some high calorie food like pasta." he instructed as I helped Feliciano to his feet.

"Okay, okay I got it." I muttered as I led Felici to the door. wait did I just give him a nickname? FUCK, I did.

Carefully I helped the frail man to the bathing area. He was terriably weak and shaky. I decided to carry him so he wouldn't fall over again. He buried his face into my shoulder and sobbed. Not ordinary sobs either. No, these were the sobs of a broken man. why is he crying?

"Why are you crying?"

"A lot of reasons."

"Name a few."

"Firstly, I miss my brother. Secondly, I ache all over. thirdly, I have a massive migrane which won't go away."

"How about I help you wash up and take you to your rooms then get you some food?" I offered.

"that would be nice." he murmured, cuddling into my arm. I decided to just hose him down then take him to his bedroom. Which I did, with a lot more blushing than expected. I ordered the cook to send some pasta up so he could eat when he got up.

A few days later I walked in on the seamstress apiontment. Apparantly Felici looked even more angelic and adorable in a dress. Later Feliks apollogised for causing me to have a massive nosebleed. After that we where both too busy to talk. Six days later I got drunk. really drunk
