Kapitel 2.
The sunlight shined on Ludwig through the glimpse of the bedroom curtains. Ludwig slowly opened his eyes. It felt very comfortable waking up without an alarm. Ludwig would have gotten up for his morning jog, but he decided to sleep a little longer. After all, he was exhausted from the project that practically jailed him in his office. At least the benefit of the project was captivating: a generous bonus for this month's salary and a possible promotion.
Judging by the lightness of the sunlight, it seemed around eleven o'clock. Ludwig always had woken up at seven o'clock sharp. He was well aware that even though he didn't use an alarm clock, waking up four hours later than usual was definitely meaning something. Ja… today I could catch up some sleep. Ludwig closed his eye, trying to fall asleep again. He could've succeed if it weren't for interruption of the foreign substance.
Ruffle ruffle—
Warte (Wait)… something's not right. Ludwig also felt something light and warm were leaning onto his chest and clinging into his arm. Something fluffy was in his hand and something soft was clinging onto his arm. It didn't take long for him to realize they were Feliciana's wing and breast.
Ludwig flipped the bedsheet away. There she was, completely naked Feliciana blinked at him sleepily, but soon her eyes were wide open and she beamed gleefully. "Ve~ good morning, Luddy!" Very innocently, like there was nothing with this whole situation, she even clung onto him tighter.
Ludwig's eyes widened. "Feliciana! How in the holy hell did you get into my bed!" he exclaimed as he jerked his body up fiercely. As a result, Ludwig accidently pushed Feliciana away from his bed. With a loud noise, Feliciana collapsed onto the floor.
"Waah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Feliciana whimpered. "Ve~ I got very cold and very scary! The couch was so cold and the living room was really dark!" She leaned up, entirely exposing her upper body.
Ludwig shut his eyes and turned his face away from her and growled. He could feel himself getting hotter and bigger. Normally, when he saw naked women in front of him, he would've took his pants off and spread their legs like he did to all the girls he had hired or met for purposes. However, something stopped him. Something which Ludwig couldn't explain, halted him from coveting Feliciana.
Ludwig scowled. "A—and I told you my rules are the law in my house! Put your clothes on! Now!"
"Ve… but human's clothes are uncomfortable!" Feliciana glanced at her wings and sniveled. "My wings keep sticking in there!"
Ludwig's voice got louder as his face got redder. "I don't care!" He furiously threw the bedsheet over Feliciana's head. Cold water shower, cold water shower, cold water shower… While darting to his bathroom, Ludwig muttered in his head like it was a magic spell that could suppress his necessity.
Fully clothed Ludwig and Feliciana —with Ludwig's shirts on— were sitting across the table. The awkward atmosphere dominated the table. They didn't even make an eye contact. Feliciana's fingers were nervously tipping on the glass cup filled with water Ludwig poured. Her eyes were teary with what she thought was the likely future. She looked like a puppy that was about to be seriously punished. From head to toes, Feliciana was practically screaming "Ve! Luddy please don't kick me out!"
Ludwig on the other hand was crossing his arms while trying to concentrate how their situations got to this point. Ludwig wasn't aware of it, but he had a solid reputation of looking intimidating among everyone he knew. In addition, his stern and robust facial and body features were tremendous supporters. Right now, they were beyond terrifying Feliciana.
First thing's first. Ludwig decided to break the silence. "So—."
Feliciana visibly jolted. "Ve! Luddy, please don't kick me out! I'm sorry that I snuck into your bed and took your shirts off! I promise I won't do it again! W—where would I go if I leave? Ve, I can cook nice foods for you if you want! O—or I can clean you house! Please, I'll do anything!" Her eyes were even more teary. They were close to burst tears out.
Ludwig felt slightly guilty. One of his options was to kick -not literally though- Feliciana out of his house but that option wasn't tempting; actually, he had no intention to comply it since last night before he closed his eyes. Ludwig couldn't understand or know why, but Ludwig wanted Feliciana to stay. He sighed. "Calm down, Feli. I'm not going to kick you out of my house. I only have some questions."
"Ve…? Really?" Feliciana asked. When Ludwig nodded, Feliciana happily smiled. "Thank you, Luddy!" she chirped.
Ludwig cleared his throats. If he said he didn't feel good making her to smile, "So, what are you doing in the human world, then? How did you even get here?"
"Ve… I don't know. I don't remember what happened! I can't remember anything!" There were genuine confusion and terror in her eyes. Feliciana started to hyperventilate, her eyes were moisturizing. Ludwig felt the pleasantness he just felt was fading away.
"I—I was taking a siesta in my bed, waiting for my family, but the next thing I remember is that I was falling from Heaven and crushed at your balcony!" Suddenly, Feliciana started to snivel. Tears were trickling from her eyes. "M—maybe I got kicked out from Heaven? Ve… maybe it's because I take too many siestas? Or I eat too much pasta? Ve… I just miss my family so much!" Then Feliciana started so sob. She cupped her face to hide the tears but they slipped through her fingers.
Feliciana's story was irrelevant. However, Ludwig didn't care at the moment. He was sympathing her. The emotion he didn't know he still had it with him. However, Ludwig didn't know what to do about this situation. He reached his hand to Feliciana but all he could grasp was an air. He couldn't comfort her. He couldn't even hold her hands and say everything will be okay.
Ludwig thought about his brother. He remembered that Gilbert always cheered him up when they were children. Even though Ludwig couldn't understand everything Gilbert did, they were happy brothers. Everything changed after the incident. Gilbert still tried to reach out to Ludwig but he had been pushing his brother away. Then Ludwig thought of her. Who could make anyone happy, who could make anyone to smile, who he missed dearly.
Ludwig saw the bruises. I might be pressuring her too much… after all, she was thrown into a different world in a day. Ludwig felt bad for Feliciana. Plus he remembered that he pushed her out of his bed and made her to collapse onto the floor. Ludwig's guilt was penetrating his conscious. "Stay here." Ludwig went to the bathroom to bring a box of cotton swabs, two bandages, and an arnicare. He kneeled in front of Feliciana "Let me see." She nodded and placed her knees. Ludwig swabbed the arnicare with the cotton swabs and carefully applied on Feliciana's knees. "Oww…" she winced. "Hold still. It won't take long."
Ludwig tried his best not to glimpse between Feliciana's thighs and… He coughed and focused to apply the arnicare. Although it slipped up, Ludwig was grateful that his shirts were big. After he finished applying the arnicare on Feliciana's knees, he gently taped the bandages on her knees. Have I ever took care of someone like this before in my life? Ludwig stuned. The answer was Nein and he knew it very well. However, it was vaguely familiar
"Ve~ Luddy is so kind." Feliciana muttered.
Ludwig halted. Suddenly, it occurred to him. Kind… She doesn't even have a clue. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not a good person; definitely, not a kind person. You're an angel, Feli. You should know how to distinguish who's naughty or nice."
"But, Luddy!" Feliciana gently palmed his cheek and made Ludwig to look her in the eye. Ludwig tried to protest but when his met Feliciana's eyes, he felt her warm amber eyes were melting his icy blue eyes. "Of course, I know when someone is naughty or nice. Ve~ and I know! Luddy is so nice and sweet and kind!
Ludwig frowned. Something twirled inside him. He snapped Feliciana's hands away and glared at her. "Who do you think you are to—."
Feliciana interrupted. She grasped Ludwig's hands. "Bad people don't make faces like that or help someone when they're hurt! Luddy is just shy and hurt and that's okay. Because I know— I really do know Luddy is a wonderful person." She gently pecked on his forehead. Ludwig's face got red. Very red. He suddenly jerked up from the floor and fished out his keys and wallet from the drawer.
"Ve~ where are you going, Luddy?" Feliciana asked. She tried to stand up from the chair but Ludwig waved not to.
Ludwig grabbed his coat from the coat hanger and flung it onto his shoulder. "I—I'll go buy some clothes for you to wear!" He used the first excuse that came out of his head and opened the door.
Before Ludwig left his apartment, he warned Feliciana. "Keep that shirt on this time."
"This and… that will do." Ludwig was carefully choosing clothes for Feliciana in one of the stores in the mall. It was the first time in his life for him to buy the clothes that weren't for himself. When Ludwig blushed when glanced at the clothes he chose: cute dresses which would perfectly match with Feliciana's cuteness— he meant her beauty.
It's because these would be more comfortable for Feli… ja, of course! Considering what she was wearing when she crashed, these types of dresses must be the best for her… However, no matter how hard he tried, Ludwig couldn't erase the thought which the dresses he chose were absolutely based on his taste.
After Ludwig paid for the dresses, he seriously contemplated about whether he should go and buy underwears for Feliciana or not, but in the end he concluded that it would put himself into an extremely embarrassing situation. Maybe I can give her some money later and she can buy those herself. Ludwig blushed harder, imagining the scene.
As Ludwig exited the mall, he ignited one of his cigarettes and brought it into his mouth. He blew a chain of smoke. While beer always helped him to kill stresses, cigarette always helped him to calm down and concentrate. Too many things had happened during the last fourteen hours. Ludwig needed some time to think about what to do next while smoking his cigarette.
"Ludwig?" A voice with a British accent called Ludwig from his back. He knew who the voice belonged to very well. The owner's affection towards the British literature resulted her accent whenever she spoke English. Ludwig slowly turned around and faced the owner. It really was you. Ludwig stunned, he was completely speechless. His cigarette fell from his mouth but none of them cared.
The woman seemed to be in her early thirties with long slightly curled brown hair and icy but warm blue eyes insecurely waved at Ludwig, but her smile was compassionate and wholehearted that could always comforted him. The smile Ludwig had dearly missed. So my eyes didn't deceive me then. Ludwig took a deep breath, but it didn't help him.
The brunette glanced at the shopping bags Ludwig was holding. "I see that you've been shopping. Are they for you?" The brunette playfully grinned. She knew that all of them were women's clothes, those were her favorite brands; in fact, she was wearing one.
"N—nein!" Ludwig blushed. "They're for my… my…" He uncharacteristically stuttered. Ludwig absolutely had no idea how to introduce or explain Feliciana to the brunette. He wasn't even sure what she was to him. He'd be damned if he honestly told her that there was an angel crashed into his house. The brunette would believe him; she always did. However, this wasn't about whether she believed him or not. Guest? Unwanted surprise? Friend? Liability? Or his lov—
The brunette giggled. "I know. I was just joking."
Ludwig was so relieved that he decided not to buy the underwears.
"You haven't changed since the last time we saw each other. Well, anything but your appearance." She shrugged. Her blue eyes showed hints of longing. Ludwig refused to make an eye contact with her: he shut his eyes and turned his face away.
Ludwig clenched his fists. It was too painful to look into her eyes. "And neither have you. Although, I can't say that I'm remembering you correctly."
The brunette smiled. No words were shared between them: they didn't need to talk in order to know what each other was thinking. Countless feelings interacted between the two. Finally the brunette broke the silence. "You should head back. Don't keep your lady waiting~." She winked. They both knew exactly what it meant. Ludwig blushed, but before he could protest the brunette waved once again and walked away with a smile. Ludwig lingered even after she completely disappeared into the crowd.
In Ludwig's mind, the woman with brown hair still lingered. He tried his best to forget about meeting her, but the thought of her only expanded larger and larger. He sighed and opened his door. "I'm home Fel— Argh!" Ludwig was caught off guard as Feliciana jumped onto him and whimpered.
Feliciana clung onto Ludwig's neck harder from fear. "Ve! Luddy! What is that movie? It's so scary! Why is that man doing that to that woman?" She clung— she squeezed him harder.
Ludwig yelped. "Feli! What in the hell are you sayin—."
"You dirty whore!" A man with a familiar voice hollered. If Ludwig was not wrong— the only way that the man could shout is from his flat screen or his laptop. Chills pierced through Ludwig's spine like a shot of lightning.
"Master! Aaah! Yes! Oh! Harder!" Another familiar voice moaned.
Now Ludwig completely realized where and what was making that sound. He just hoped to God —who Ludwig did start to believe since he'd encountered Feliciana— that he was wrong. Oh, nein. Bitte nein (Oh, no. Please no)! On the flat screen, there were a naked woman with gigantic breasts handcuffed into a bed with a wearing nothing but a blindfold around her face. Her gigantic breasts vigorously bounced around as a very muscular with a leather mask thrusting furiously while whipping her hips.
"FELICIANA!" Ludwig's blush exploded. "WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU FIND THIS!"
"Veee!" Feliciana squealed in panic. Ludwig's voice was never so loud. She started to babble. "I got sleepy when I was waiting for you! So I went to your bed to sleep but I found some stuffs in the box! Among those there were some DVDs! I thought they were movies so I played one of them!"
Was (What)? Under my bed? Oh Gott… did she also see… Feliciana continued to explain but Ludwig couldn't listen. At this point, Ludwig was beyond frightened. He trembled his way to his bedroom only to find his magazines and toys sprawled all over the floor. It felt like the time stopped.
Ludwig roared. "FELICIANAAAAA!"
Ludwig sincerely and thoroughly contemplated about kicking Feliciana out of his balcony after he cleaned all the incident.
(A/N)
Next time, try hiding your DVDs and magazines somewhere more meticulous and discreet, Luddy. The toys too xD Well~ unless you didn't die from embarrassment ;)
The woman with brown hair and blue eyes is a total mystery! If you're asking, yes! She's an OC, but she has a big part in this story.
No one knows what she's planning though ;) She could help Luddy to love Feli; she could buy a pasta to Luddy, yes to Luddy lol; hell idk, she could even seduce Kiku! xD Just wait and see what happens next ;)
