Ludwig stopped laughing when he heard a voice coming from behind him. He knew that voice, but it sounded as though it came from the past. Forgetting that his brother was standing right next to him, Ludwig turned suddenly knocking Gilbert to the ground.
"Gott, West! Why did you have to do that? That wasn't awesome!" Gilbert dusted himself off and stood up just in time to see his younger brother running off, "Hey, West! Where you going? Bruder!"
However, Ludwig ignored his bother. All he cared about was the voice coming from somewhere in front of him, Gott! Please be there! Please, let him be there! He kept running. Ludwig did not notice the red eyed Albino running after him trying to catch up. Ludwig heard the voice again. Ve~ Ludwig! The blonde focused only on the voice ahead of him, "Feliciano!"
The Italian boy heard his name called out by the voice. He had heard that voice yell his name so many times before, but never before had Feliciano heard it with such longing. The brunette leapt forward ignoring the pain in his leg. He only wanted to see his German ally and friend again. Feliciano disregarded Alfred's shouting at him to wait up and Arthur's warning to be careful. He only ran faster. Feliciano turned a corner expecting to see Ludwig, but when he did not see the blonde man, the brunette boy stopped running and looked around. Feliciano was almost positive Ludwig would be here, but the blonde man was not there. The Italian boy collapsed on the ground sobbing, "Ve~ Ludwig! Where-a are you?"
At hearing his name, Ludwig turned around; the voice of the Italian boy came from behind him. He turned to run toward the voice and nearly ran into his scarlet eyed brother, "Gil? Get out of the way!" He tried to get around Gilbert, but the albino stood his ground.
"Nein, bruder!" Gilbert grabbed Ludwig forcing him to stay where he was, "I know you are anxious, but if you go rushing toward him, he might…..Nein…..he will freak out and either surrender or completely freak out. We do not want that, especially in front of Alfred and Arthur! We even told them to keep it a secret from him. How do you think he is going to react when you just show up in front of him in a few moments?" Gilbert released his brother and sighed, "Just think of what's best for him, West."
Ludwig looked at the ground. Of course, he knew how the small Italian boy would react, but that did not change the fact that Feliciano was the first person besides Gilbert who meant something to him other than an ally. The boy was the first person to openly offer to become his ally. Nein! It is more than that, but what? The blonde rubbed the bridge of his nose trying to think through every moment he spent with the small Italian boy from when he first encountered him that day in the woods when he came across the tomato box with the quivering brunette boy inside to the last time he saw the boy being carried away by Alfred. A sudden cry brought him out of reverie. Ludwig looked around and shot off in the direction of the cry.
"West! Wait! We- Ludwig!"
Ludwig just kept on running and turned the corner. There at the end of the block was the brunette Italian boy with that silly little curl. Ludwig stopped where he was as the boy looked up with his golden eyes meeting Ludwig's icy blue.
"Ve~! Ludwig!" Feliciano jumped up and bolted toward the blonde man. For a moment, he thought this could only be a dream. The fact that Alfred and Arthur actually brought him here to see Ludwig again was almost unbelievable.
Alfred turned the corner just in time to see the Italian boy jump up and run toward a blonde man. Well, this is going better than what I planned. He stopped and watched as the boy continued to run toward the German man at the end of the block. Arthur soon joined him at the corner. Alfred turned to Arthur and sighed, "To think, I thought of this idea on my own. Dude, I'm the Hero!"
Arthur shook his head, "You always think you're the hero, Alfred."
"Well, I am," Alfred smiled proudly and continued to watch the brunette boy bolt toward the blonde man.
There was a long pause as the two blondes interlocked hands and stood watching the little Italian boy jump on top of the German; embracing him into a long-awaited hug. However, Alfred's ego got the better of the moment and he said while continuing to watch the two, "Hey, Arthur, is it just me, or does this reunion remind you of anything? It all seems familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Arthur's eyes widened at the comment and he all about stopped breathing. That git couldn't possibly be thinking of that now could he? The Brit's face turned red as he turned to the American and asked, "Now Alfred, what is it you are going on and on about? I don't quite know what you are trying to say."
Alfred stared into the shimmering emerald eyes that were in front of him; "Dude isn't it obvious? Or do I have to come out and say everything in our relationship?"
Arthur's face turned a darker crimson color. Well, he is the one who asked me out, but that was only because I was too bloody nervous to ask him! "You're thinking of our reunion, aren't you, Alfred? Our reunion after..." he turned to look away, but Alfred caught him and saw the tears that were slowly falling down his slightly tinted cheeks.
"A-Arthur...please don't cry. Our reunion was one of the best days of my life. I missed you so much, and believe it or not, during the time we didn't see each other, you were all I could think about. I would have done anything just to gaze into your eyes just one last time." Alfred said as he lifted his lover's chin up and placed a kiss on his lips.
The shorter but older man was caught staring into the celestial blue eyes as he whispered, "Re-really? Alfred, I-" but he was caught off guard as the younger blonde swept him off of his feet and kissed him again. Arthur wrapped his arms around Alfred's neck; "I love you."
The younger blonde smiled as he carried his love away; "I love you too, Arthur. Now, I think our work here is done. Let's go home." The two smiled as they went away from the reunion and into the warm and bright colors of the sunset.
Ludwig held the young brunette tightly in his arms. The last time he saw the Italian, Feliciano was running from Alfred and Arthur out of fear. Now, he ran from the American and the Brit with the biggest smile on his face. Ludwig had a feeling, but he did not know what exactly to call it. Something about the Italian boy made him smile.
Feliciano was the one to let go first. The strong blonde man kept holding on to him. The Italian remembered suddenly started tearing up when the memories of that day in 1943. He threw his arms around Ludwig again sobbing into his shoulder, "I'm-a sorry! I'm-a sorry! I really wanted to-a run, but I could not! I'm-a sorry!"
"Nein, Feliciano," Ludwig spoke softly, "I know you did the best you could." He continued to hold the trembling Italian.
"I was-a so scared, Ludwig! I thought-a I was-a never going to see you again!" Feliciano held on tighter not wanting to let go, "I don't-a want to-a separated from you!"
Ludwig looked into the brunette's golden eyes, "I won't ever leave, again. I swear to you."
Feliciano stared deeply into Ludwig's icy blue eyes, "Ti amo, Ludwig"
The blonde man was slightly surprised by the young Italian's sudden remark, but then realized the he had always shared the same. He held Feliciano tight.
"Ich liebe dich auch, Feliciano"
Ti amo, Ludwig- I love you, Ludwig
Ich liebe dich auch, Feliciano.-I love you too, Felicaino
