"Oh boo rain again," Feliciano pouted staring out the window. He wrapped the blanket around him tighter. Looking away from the window he saw Ludwig sitting on his bed, invested in whatever book he reading. A few seconds later, Ludwig looked up and smiled at Feliciano.
"Good morning Feliciano," he said softly with a smile.
"Good morning," Feliciano sighed. "I'm surprised you're still up here."
"I wanted to wait for you." Ludwig placed his book down.
"Aww, Ludwig you didn't have to!" Feliciano squealed a little.
"I wanted to."
Feliciano looked down and smiled. He pulled up the blanket to his face and buried his face in it. After a few seconds, he felt the bed moved a little and Ludwig pull him close. Feliciano looked up and Ludwig gave him a warm smile. Smiling back, Feliciano leaned his head on Ludwig's chest. Ludwig pulled him closer. Feliciano wrapped his arms around Ludwig. He could hear Ludwig say something quietly. As it appeared he said it in German, Feliciano could not understand it but he didn't care.
"Why does this feel so right?" Feliciano said quietly.
"I don't know," Ludwig responded. Feliciano buried himself a little more and Ludwig laughed. "But I like this."
"Me too."
"Hey sleepyheads finally up," Tezera said with a laugh as Ludwig and Feliciano walked into the kitchen.
"Wow never seen you up this late," Alfred said in shock, taking a sip of what was probably his third cup of coffee.
"Just a little tired today," Ludwig said as grabbed two mugs and handed one to Feliciano. Both of them ignoring the sly smiles everyone else was giving them. As the two of them stood by the coffee maker, Feliciano couldn't take his eyes off of Ludwig. He didn't care if anyone was staring and want they thought. At this moment, this what he needed.
The morning went on quietly. The rain had seemed to put everyone in a downer mood. Everyone sat in the living room, silent. Ludwig and Feliciano were back to sitting next to each other. Close with still a little apart from each other. The news that was playing in the background, switched to weather. Announcing rain excepted for the rest of the day. Immediately, most of the people in the room let out a collective groan while others simply shook their heads.
"So are we just going to sit here all day," Alfred complained laying his head on the table. "Again!"
"We can't just swim in the rain," Arthur said.
"Wait yes we can!" Alfred jumped out of his seat and started to run upstairs. As if on cue, a bright flash of lightning struck from a few feet away, a loud clasp of thunder following shortly after. "Maybe not."
"Well that was unexcepted," Ludwig thought to himself as he felt someone grab on to him. Looking down he saw Feliciano leaning on his shoulder with his on Ludwig's shoulder. After a few seconds, Feliciano backed away. His face now tinted with red.
"Okay, what is up with you two?" Emma asked forcing herself to hold back a laugh while Tezera glared at her.
"N-nothing!" Feliciano blurted out. Before looking around and turning away.
"Yes we are dating," Ludwig said a few seconds later causing the room to go silent. Feliciano turned towards him in shock. Ludwig smiled and gently pulled him closer. He spoke softly to him. "It's okay."
"I knew it!" Alfred shouted. Both Emma and Tezera squealed in delight. Feliciano stared at Ludwig for a while. His face painted in a mixture of confusion and delight. Slowly he moved closer and hugged Ludwig tightly.
"Dude that can't be how you asked him out?" Alfred asked in shock.
"No." Ludwig paused for a moment as he wrapped an arm around Feliciano. "We've been together for a few days now."
"It just sort of happened," Feliciano said soon after still attached to Ludwig. "It was very unexcepted."
"But." Ludwig paused and looked at Feliciano. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Ludwig are you okay?" Feliciano asked cautiously. They were currently in their bedroom with Feliciano kneeling on his bed.
"Yes," Ludwig replied as he adjusted his shirt. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well it's just when we first start dating, you said you wanted to take things slow." Feliciano paused for a moment. Moving so he was now sitting on the bed and looking down. "It's only been a few days, I'm not entirely sure we're on the boyfriend level yet. Are you sure you're okay with everyone knowing?"
"They were going to find out eventually. And you weren't exactly helping the situation, clinging on to me."
"Hey, I panicked!" Feliciano smirked and crossed his arms. Ludwig laughed to himself a little.
"Wait aren't we at the boyfriend level?" Ludwig asked after a little bit. "Considering we're you know dating."
"I dunno my last relationship went very fast." Feliciano wrapped his arms around himself. "Like very fast."
"I'm sorry but I don't really know what exactly I'm comfortable with." Ludwig looked towards Feliciano and smiled at him awkwardly. "I've never been in a romantic relationship, serious or otherwise before."
"That's fine Ludwig," Feliciano said softly. Ludwig walked over and sat next to him. "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable at any point. But if you ever do, promise me you'll say something?"
"I promise."
"Are you alright under there?" Ludwig asked Feliciano as the two of them walked under an umbrella. The two of them were close to each other underneath and luckily were staying dry. The rain had slowed down and wasn't as intense as that morning. The thunder and lightning had false ceased. Still, everyone had agreed it wasn't the proper weather for swimming. Instead, they chose to go to the local theater and see a movie.
"Finally here!" Alfred shouted when they made it to the theater pulling down his hood.
Feliciano smiled sped up a little. Stepping out from the umbrella and under the roof. Ludwig was quick to follow him. Standing by the doorway Ludwig struggle with closing it. Everyone else started to walk inside except for Feliciano who stayed right next to his boyfriend. He kept looking down at Ludwig's arms. Forcing himself to hold his own arms back. Resisting the urge to wrap his arms around Ludwig's.
"You could have gone in," Ludwig as he finally got the umbrella closed.
"Eh it's boring in there," Feliciano shrugged as the two started to walk inside. They were as close as they were under the umbrella, even though they didn't need to be.
Despite the bad weather, the theater was rather quiet. A few people were standing in the lobby but that was it. The group got some snacks and walked to the right screening room. The room was a bit more crowded but empty enough for all of them to sit next to each other. Ludwig and Feliciano sat next to each other. The two shared a smile as they did. They sat for a little bit before Ludwig slowly stretched his arm out and gently wrapped around Feliciano. He looked a little shocked before settling in. Carefully laying head on Ludwig's shoulder. Minutes later Ludwig started to rub his fingers through Feliciano's hair, causing him to squeak a little.
"You okay?" Ludwig whispered to him, slowly starting to move his arm away.
"No, keep doing it," Feliciano said trying to move closer to Ludwig, who quickly obliged. That moment the screen went on and the lights dimmed. Both Ludwig and Feliciano turned their attention to the screen but not once letting go.
