Sorry for the wait!
I had some writer's block and I couldn't figure out what to write!
Lucky for you, I got some GerIta ideas and put them into a small chapter!
Let me know how I did! I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter XII
~Ludwig's Perspective~
"Good Morning Ludwig!" A loud, high pitched voice cried out from behind me. I turned my head before nearly getting knocked to the ground by this very strange Italian girl who collided into me. If she hadn't had such a tight grip on me, she would've crashed onto the floor.
"Feliciana, don't charge at me! You're going to end up hurting someone!" I spoke near to an angry shout.
"I'm sorry, Luddy! I just wanted a hug so badly!" She said in a cheery voice while she had her arms around my chest. I suddenly noticed that she was hugging me, which nearly sent a jolt through me.
"It's fine . . ." I mumbled.
"Ve~! Luddy's fun to hug!"
I kept silent, nearly hearing my pulse if it weren't for the teenagers occupying the hallways, until Feliciana let go of me a minute or so later with a bright smile on her face. I attempted to smile back at her, but before I could, I felt a strong hand come down on my shoulder.
"Hey West!" Gilbert said in his usual, annoying voice.
"Bruder, what do you want?"
"What? I can't say hi to you once in a while?"
"Dummkopf . . ." I spoke under my breath.
"How unawesome of you to be angry, West. What crawled up your ass this morning?"
"It's nothing."
I turned back to glance at Feliciana for a moment, but she was over by the lockers talking to Kiku and Heracles, who was also being followed by a stray white cat.
"Oh! I get it!" Gilbert said in realization.
I looked back at him. "What?"
"You haven't kissed her yet, have you?"
This made me nearly choke on my own throat. I stared at him, wide eyed. "What in the- . . . it's not like that!"
"Don't you like her, West?"
". . . j-ja . . ." I managed to spit out.
"Then do something about it! Waiting forever won't solve anything."
". . . I know that, but . . . it's hard to . . . express . . . feelings . . ."
Gilbert let out a groan and startled the chick on his shoulder. Why that thing was there was never something I would understand. He looked back at me with a serious look in his eyes, which was something different, considering the fact that it was Gilbert.
"Talk when you're alone with her, somewhere private. If all else fails and you can't say anything, then-"
Before Gilbert could finish his sentence, the bell echoed through the hallways.
"Scheiße, I'm going to be late, I'll talk to you later, West!" He ran off down the hall and disappeared from my sight.
I sighed and thought to myself for a moment.
I really do like her . . . I just don't know how to say it . . .
I'm such a dummkopf.
She probably doesn't even like me that way. All she ever acted like to me was a friend.
But I don't want that.
I don't want to be friends.
What am I to do?
~Feliciana's Perspective~
Later that night . . .
Ciao~!
It's me, Feliciana~! I know it's been a while since I've written to you, but I've had so much to do lately! I've made a lot of friends here! And Luddy is in a lot of the same classes with me, which always cheers me up! He's a really good friend, and I like him a lot. We've already done a project together, and it was really fun! Lovino doesn't like Luddy that much though, and it's never really put him in a good mood when I try to get them to talk together. Big brother also has been daydreaming lately and it's a little strange. Anyway, I wanted to let you know how I'm doing at this school for my second year. It's stupendo~! I hope you can write back soon!
Hasta la pasta~!
~ Feliciana
"Ve~! Grandpa will love this! I'll send it out in the morning!" I cheered gleefully. I set my pen down on the desk and sighed. There were so many drafts to this that I lost count!
I think it was around 12 or 23. I'm not so sure.
One of the drafts lay crumpled on the empty space next to my final letter. I picked it up and smoothed out the paper so I could read it again.
Luddy,
I love that we've become such good friends! It's always fun when you're around! I think you're even better than pasta~! And I've always liked you, in some ways that I can't really write on paper. I'd run out of room! I love hugging you, and talking to you, even when we're silent, as long as I'm with you, I'll always be happy.
I love you.
Oh, right. This wasn't to Grandpa.
Immediately after I realized what this was, I scrunched it back up into a ball and set it back on the desk.
I didn't want him to see this.
He might not like me anymore.
He'll think I'm too weird for him.
But . . . I don't want to be friends.
I don't want that.
CLIFFHANGER!
I know it sucks that I stopped here, but I wanted to post something new and this was all I could do tonight! I need my sleep for tomorrow so I can write better chapters!
I decided to add in GerIta with Fem!Italy and Germany because its a cute couple!
And thank you for the positive reviews on Chapter 10, I love that you guys liked it!
Please let me know how I did!
