A/N: Ok, so I know that this is short chapter! Not really good work for a week. Its crap. Ah oh well, I still do hope you guys enjoy it.
So here is chapter 10: "Questions"
Ludwig POV
I awoke from my sleep. The loud noise and banging coming from outside my door was my alarm.
"Ludwig! Dinner! Now!" I heard Morton shout.
"Yeah, I'm coming." I replied groggily. I heard Morton's feet scuttle away, probably to let my other siblings know. I left my room to eat some much needed food.
Me, along with King Dad and my other brothers and sister, waited for Roy. It didn't take long for him to finally show up. Rick followed him. I could feel my face turn slightly red when I looked at him. I looked away before he noticed.
Father gave some speech about Rick being here and joining us for dinner. Roy revealed why he was here.
"He's my friend. Well actually…" Roy gave Rick a slight peck on his cheek. "He's my boyfriend."
Again, filled with rage and jealousy, I wanted to break out in objection. I restrained myself and left that part to Wendy and Morton. They refused to live with a gay brother. They were silenced when King Dad spoke up, defending Roy, leaving Morton and Wendy to mumble complaints to themselves. Dinner continued to go on in silence.
Sitting next to King Dad, I glanced at the two sitting in front of me. They cuddled and exchanged sweet words to each other. I stood up, excusing myself from the table.
"Excuse me, I've lost my appetite." I walked away from the table; my food was barely touched. I walked through the castle to my room. Locking the door, I secluded myself from everyone. I sat and tried to create a song.
I couldn't compose anything remotely good. Every note create was out of the jealousy I had for Roy making them sour. I ceased my playing and curled into a ball, talking to myself.
"Why?" I asked myself. "What does he see in him? I could do so much better for him…"
I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about Ricky.
"I mean, I have much more to offer. We would truly happy. Roy's an ass anyway. In a week he'd abuse him. I wouldn't though. Id treat him right."
I just laid there, thinking to myself. A knock suddenly came from my door, breaking my concentration.
"Ludwig, we need to talk." It was Roy.
"What? No! Go away!" I said sternly.
"Now Ludwig." He commanded. I sat there for a while.
"Fine." I let him in.
"About dinner Ludwig…" He started. "What was wrong?"
"I just wasn't hungry."
"That's not true. C'mon tell me. We may fight but we're still brothers." Roy said. "We just started to go out so please…"
"Whoop-Dee-Doo for you Roy." I said coldly.
"What? Do you have a problem with that?" He said with some anger in his voice.
"Why yes, I do have a problem with that." I told the truth.
"Well then spill it!" Roy demanded.
I still refused to reply.
"What so wrong with Rick and me being together!"
"Well maybe you're not the only one who has a deep interest in him! Maybe I like him a lot too!" I shouted back.
We stood there in silence, staring at each other. I could tell that Roy was quite shocked at my response.
"Ludwig, I -" Roy started before cut him off.
"No Roy. Just leave me alone."
"Wait, no, Ludwig, listen to me." He tried to grab me.
"Get out of my way!" I pushed Roy aside. I walked out of my room, passing King Dad.
"Ludwig, what's going on? Are you alright?" He asked with a concerned voice.
"Nothing. I'm going out for a walk." I continued past him.
"Son, wait! Tell me what's wrong!" He commanded. I ignored my father and slammed the door behind me.
I walked the dim and empty streets, trying to clear my head.
"Why am I so jealous?" I asked myself. I kept walking on the empty sidewalk, no destination in my mind. I strolled into an area that was pretty dark; no many lights lit the way. I decided to turn back, but I heard a quiet cry. I followed the noise, coming across a small, yet dark alley.
"Hello?" I asked, curious to see who it was.
"Lu-Ludwig? Is that you?" He asked curiously. I adjusted my eyes, able to make out the figure hidden in the dark. It was Rick.
"Rick! What are you doing here?" I asked as he continued to cry. He couldn't form any words. I saw that he was lying on the ground, his face buried in his bag.
"What are you doing on the ground? Here…" I held out my hand and got him on his feet. "There. Now, what's wrong Rick?"
He still cried, not speaking a word.
"Come. Let's take you home. Then you can tell me and your parents." I said gently, placing my claws on his shoulders. I smiled at him.
"No! I can't go home." He screamed in defiance, before crying again.
"Oh, Ok. Well, let me take you to the castle then." I offered.
"*sniff* O-Ok." He agreed. I took his hand and led the way, offering him a shoulder to cry on.
A/N: Ok so that's it! Yes as I said, it was short and kind of crap. Couldn't really get my juices flowing. Please, review and stuff. If you have any chapter suggestions then please tell me :)
Also, I'm up for some story suggestions as well. I've been thinking of a Gears of War romance with RAAM as the main focus but I'm not sure yet.
