Chapter 2: First day of School

Ludwig was half asleep the first day of school. They had just moved there two days ago and the trip still had him tired. He went to his locker sleepily and turned the dial as some huge ginger was fighting with his locker shelf. He had managed to put it in wrong now was yanking on it trying to get it would so he could fix it. He peered over hearing something snap and suddenly the back of knuckles slammed into his eyes as the metal bar of the locker shelf cut under it. The ginger looked horrified.

"I'M SO SORRY IT BROKE WHEN I WAS YANKING IT AND MY HAND HAD TO MUCH MOMENTUM AND OH MY GOSH YOU'RE BLEEDING EVERYWHERE," he screeched panicked.

"I'm fine it's ok," he said placing a hand over his eye.

"Luddie I got a locker near you," Gilbert sang walking to him.

Ludwig peered over. Gilbert saw blood running down his face and a panicked ginger. He took Ludwig's hand off his eye and frowned in concern.

"What happened?"

"I broke the shelf and I accidentally hurt him," the ginger spoke up.

"You should have lied," Ludwig breathed.

"What?"

"YOU'RE DEAD," Gilbert roared charging and punching him.

Liam screeched running when he grabbed the broken bar he had dropped and charged at him like it was a knife. Technically it could seriously hurt him if the crazy albino tried hard enough. Ludwig laughed at the pair amused. His brother was insane to go do shit like that over an accident. A redhead stopped in front of him.

"I'm assuming you're the reason my brother might die."

"Ja."

"I'm sorry he hurt you come on let's go to the nurse and get you fixed up," he said wrapping an arm around him and guiding him away but eyed him carefully when he shifted out of his arm stiffening. "My name is Allistor."

"I'm Ludwig," he said as they went in search of the nurse's office.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU," the nurse screeched when they came in.

"I didn't know you were allowed to cuss," Ludwig pondered.

"Maybe the rule doesn't apply to nurses," Allistor murmured thoughtfully.

"Someone answer me," she sighed.

"This guy broke his locker shelf and in the process accidently hit me," Ludwig deadpanned.

"My brother Liam to be exact," Allistor spoke up.

The nurse fussed over Ludwig a long time as she cleaned him up then put butterfly stitches on the cut she kept in the office. If something wasn't quite deep enough for stitches she usually kept these in her office. They thanked her then the door flung open.

"BRUDER ARE YOU OK," Gilbert wailed hugging him.

"Ja. You didn't actually stab him, did you?"

"Nein his bruder convinced me out of it," he sighed.

"Bruder it was an accident you didn't need to go that far," he scolded.

"Don't you lecture me you were giggling your head off," Gilbert said amused.

"Well its funny but still don't do it. You don't want to be in trouble on your first day for stabbing an innocent person with a locker shelf rod."

"Fine I won't react like that anymore."

"Somehow, I doubt that," Allistor spoke up eyeing him making the pair laugh.

"Alright let's go to homeroom," Gilbert laughed guiding Ludwig along to their lockers then to find homeroom. "Why didn't you know the way," he accused Allistor when they got there.

"I'm new here too," he smiled.

"Oh," Gilbert hummed. "Still blaming you for us getting lost."

"Fine then next time you have to take the blame."

"FINE!"

"FINE," Allistor cried back in mock anger like Gilbert.

"WHY ARE WE YELLING," Ludwig cried making them crack up.

"OH MY GOSH THERE YOU ARE! ARE YOU OK?! I'M SO SO SO VERY SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED," Liam cried running to him and hugging him.

Ludwig froze shocked then squirmed away and pushed him away.

"Don't hug me like that I like personal space."

"My mistake sorry," Liam smiled soothingly. "But really. Are you ok," he wanted to know.

"Ja I'm fine," he shrugged.

"Just make sure it never happens again," Gilbert said darkly making Liam shudder.

"Right. Never again. I promise," he said reassuringly.

They sat before the teacher came in. Gisil started fussing over Ludwig while Christoph and Theodo got the story from him then sent deadly looks at Liam making him shrink in his seat. Arthur started making fun of him saying he was going to be beat up.

Ludwig glanced over after third period hearing people whisper as he went by. Whispers that he was probably a dangerous thug of something because of his build, black eye, and butterfly stitches. They were already claiming him to be a scary bad person. He sped walked through the hall trying to get away from it all. Soon he was jogging then running remembering all the voices that used to judge him and make claims about him. He felt pathetic as tears burned his eyes. He just wanted a new start. For people to understand he's not scary, violent, crazy, threatening, or evil. That he wouldn't just hurt anyone.

He collided with someone and grunted. Arthur from his classes stared at him innocently then grabbed his wrist and started jogging dragging him along by it. Ludwig didn't understand why he didn't pull away or why he followed his lead. He just did. Probably because someone he didn't know wasn't scared of him for once. Arthur took him up some stairs and they ended up on the roof.

"There no one can bother you here," he grinned at him. "I'm Arthur. You're Ludwig, right?"

"Ja," he nodded slowly.

"What happened? Why are you upset," he asked curiously.

"It's personal," he murmured.

"Well if you don't want to talk about it you don't have too lets just talk about random things to keep your mind off it," he said looking off then back at him and grinned again.

"That sounds good," Ludwig nodded swiping away whatever evidence of him crying he had left.

"Ok so what do you want to talk about," Arthur asked then the door banged open.

"It's the guy on drugs," Ludwig said startled.

"I KNEW YOU WERE ON DRUGS," Arthur cried jabbing a finger at Alfred.

"WHY WAS BOTH OF YOUR IMMEDIATE REACTIONS WHEN WE FIRST MET WAS TO THINK I'M ON DRUGS," he screeched.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE ON DRUGS," they screamed at the same time then looked at each other and snickered.

"I'M NOT ON DRUGS DAMN IT!"

"That's what they all say," Arthur chided.

"I'll need some drug test results before I believe you," Ludwig added.

"YOU TWO ARE SO MEAN," he wailed.

Ludwig and Arthur erupted into laughter leaning against each other unconsciously. Alfred gave in and started laughing with them. The door started closing slowly as they kept laughing.

"I'm glad. To see you laughing with people other than us again," Gisil smiled softly before closing the door. He went down the stairs and back into the hall.

"Did you see Ludwig I heard he was running down the hall from Séamus and he said he looked like he was crying," Gilbert blurted running into him.

"Ja Gilbert I did. But don't worry about it. He's just fine," he smiled at him.

Gilbert eyed him carefully then smiled and shrugged. If Gisil said Ludwig was fine then Ludwig was fine. That's all there was to it.
