"Glad to be back," Feliciano said as he placed the box he was holding on the ground. He leaned against his bed and sighed a little. While it wasn't the same house they had lived in last year, it still felt like home to him.

"Well this is weird," Mei said poking her head into the room. Feliciano turned around and smiled. After darting his eyes at the currently empty bed.

"Don't worry Kiku will be here soon," Feliciano said with a sigh.

"It's weird though," Mei said as she walked in.

"I can't believe this worked," Feliciano said looking around, he dug through one of his bins. He pulled out the document from a few weeks before. Still staring at the written, Feliciano Vargas. He tightly held the paper close to him again.

"I'm happy for you," Mei said walking to him. The two shared a quick hug before Feliciano went back to unpacking. Carefully removing everything he could. After a bit, the same photo of him and his family emerged. He stared at it for a moment before placing it back in the box face down. He sighed before covering the frame with a sweatshirt. He returned the lid to the box before pushing it under his bed. He continued decorating his room.

"Hello Feliciano," Kiku said as he started to walk into the room. Feliciano turned around and jumped off of his bed. He ran over to Kiku and hugged him tightly. Kiku froze up as he did.

"Oh sorry," Feliciano said as he backed away with a sheepish smile.

"No, it is fine," Kiku said as he walked into the room and put the box down. "Do you mind helping me bring the rest in?"

Feliciano nodded and walked outside with Kiku. There were a few boxes in the back of his parent's car's trunk. It didn't take long and before they knew it all the boxes were in. When the boxes were done, Feliciano went back to decorating his room. After a little bit, he laid on his bed, he stared up at the ceiling. Kiku kept up his decorating. After a bit, he looked at his phone. Tempted to call Ludwig. But he wasn't moving in until tomorrow.

"Hey, there you guys are," Tezera said walking into the doorway. "Glad to see you guys are moving in all right."

"Woah this is strange," Victoria said poking her head through the doorway.

"That's what Mei said," Feliciano said with a laugh.

"I made it is weird but I'm glad you were able to work this out," Tezera said as she walked into the room.

"These past few weeks have been surprisingly busy," Felcianio said as he jumped off his bed. "Honestly this past whole summer has been more eventful than I thought."

"Everyone's here and I'm sure they'd love to hear about it."

"Especially about your boyfriend!" Victoria sang with a small twirl.

"And there it is," Feliciano sighed but still laughed a little.

"Oh come we're happy for you," Victoria said with a smile grabbing Feliciano's hands. Tezera nodded as this occurred.

"Helps that I think Ludwig is a good match for you," Tezera soon added. "From what I've interacted with him he's a nice guy and a good fit."

"Now come on," Victoria said starting to pull him out of the room. "I want to hear all about it."


"Wow, this is a nice place," Karla said as she and Ludwig walked into his new apartment. She started to walk around a bit. "Oh, you really do have your own kitchen!"

"I told you, Mom," Ludwig said as he walked over to his room. He placed his bag down and looked around a bit.

"Hey, Ludwig's here!" Alfred yelled running to the room. Matthew followed closely behind him.

"Hello guys," Ludwig said after he started to walk over.

"Oh hello boys," Karla said walking over with a warm smile. "Wasn't excepting to see you here already."

"Hello Mrs. Beilschmidt," Matthew said quietly. "Our parents were unable to move us in any day aside from yesterday. But it's not to bad."

"No need to worry about us Mrs. B," Alfred said wrapping his arm around Matthew. "We have each other. So do you two need any help bringing stuff in?"

"Oh no but thank you," Karla said with a smile. "You two rest up."

"We insist," Matthew said quietly.

"Yeah, with our help it will go by faster!" Alfred said pushing past his brother who sighed. Ludwig rolled his eyes but smiled. It was like nothing had changed.


"Man, Mattie why did our parents pack us so much food?" Alfred said as he started digging through the fridge. "Barely any of this is good and it's taking so much room dude."

"Maybe because they don't trust you," Matthew mumbled to himself. "Probably just cook hamburger every day if it were up to you."

"Um, Matthew do you mind turning the TV on?" Ludwig said as he looked at the television next to him.

"Sure thing," Matthew grabbed the remote. He pressed the on button. After a few minutes the screen lit up and a cable show turned on.

"Aww come on cable!" Alfred complained after hearing the show turn on. "We have no of the good channels."

"I need to set up the fire stick," Ludwig said through gritted teeth holding back any sign of annoyance. "I just wanted to make sure the TV worked first."

"Geesh no need to get all hissy," Alfred said laughing a little. Ludwig hooked his head and gestured to Matthew who turned the TV off. He reached for the small nearby box. Gently removing the small cube from it. Slowly he placed it on the desk. Grabbing the wire he looked over the back of the TV before finding the correct outlet.

"Hey Ludwig your boyfriend is calling," Alfred said with a mouthful of food.

"Not funny Alfred," Ludwig said not looking away from what he was doing.

"No Feliciano's actually calling."

"I'm kind of busy right now," Ludwig said. "I'll call him back when I'm done. Matthew can you try..."

Ludwig looked from behind the TV, only to see Matthew slapping his brother. He sighed and stood up walking over to the other remote. Change the setting to the fire stick he saw the screen change to different streaming services.

"We're all set," Ludwig said looking at the two brothers. The two of them were still fighting with each other. Ludwig glanced down at his cell phone. He picked up and saw a missed call from Feliciano. He smiled to himself as he walked past Alfred and Matthew and into his room. Being sure to close the doors behind him. He clicked called back and leaned against his bed.

"Ludwig!" Feliciano said from the other end. Even over the phone, Ludwig could tell he smiling. "How are you?"

"I'm fine Feli," Ludwig said a bit softly. "Still a bit tired from move in."

"Oh sorry is this a bad time?" The joy in Feliciano's voice faded away with each word.

"No no," Ludwig kept speaking softly to him. "I want to talk to you. Are you settling in alright?"

"Yeah," Feliciano started to perk up a little. "Not really looking forward to classes. After the summer I had, phew it's been crazy."

"Make sure you rest up these next few days," Ludwig said climbing onto this bed. He leaned against the wall a bit.

"I will," Feliciano paused for a few seconds. "How are you settling in?"

"Good, just set up our TV so that's something," Ludwig said after adjusting his phone a little. "Been a busy a day."

"I bet."

"Are you interested in meeting up this weekend at all?" Ludwig asked.

"Do you have to ask?" Feliciano said with a laugh. "But yes. I'd love to meet up."

"It's a date then."


"Hey Feli you seem happy," Mei said as Feliciano walked downstairs and into the kitchen. He grabbed a water bottle before walking out with the others.

"Just got off the Ludwig," Feliciano said to a few "oooohhhs" and gasps from his friends. "Are guys gonna do that every time I mention him from now on? Otherwise. we got a date this weekend."

"We're you two lovebirds going?" Victoria said in complete awe and with a wide smile.

"I'm gonna meet him at his campus and we're going to hang out for a bit." Feliciano sighed to himself and looked out of the window.

"Are you gonna be like this everything you talk about him?" Tezera teased holding back her laughter.

"Sorry I'm just very excited," Feliciano started swaying in place for a little bit.

"Well, whatever happens we're very happy for you."
