Promises
..."You never answered my question..." Ludwig sighed, gazing up at the clear blue sky, his eyes matching perfectly.
Sofy blushed, brushing her fingers through the grass, gazing up with him. "What question?"
"The one I asked the day we were going to go into the attic but got caught..." He peeked over at Sofy, who had pulled her knees up to her chest and was gazing out to the empty, open, grassy lands that would soon become her's.
"O-Oh..." She whispered.
"Ja..." Silence fell over them.
"I-I like to promise on that because..."
A fist pounded on the door to Sofy's bedroom and jolted her awake.
"J-Ja!" She called sitting up quickly as Ludwig opened the door.
"Can I come in?" He asked, his voice calm. Feliciano finally went home.
"Ja..." She looked out the window when he walked inside, closeing the door behind him.
"What was with you this afternoon?" He asked, staring straight at her.
"Ludwig." She looked up at him and he raised his eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"Do you remember when we were younger the promise we made?" There was a long silence.
"Nein...I dont recall any promise being made with you." He said flatly.
She felt her heart rip to peices. He did forget. She ment nothing to him now.
"What do you think of me?" She looked up at him, and he blushed lightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Like...acquaintances...friends...close friends?"
"Oh, your a very nice acquaintance...why?"
She clenched her fists, pain shot up her arm from her injured hand but it didn't matter. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and she shot up.
"How could you forget? How could you forget something so important!" She could barely control her rage.
Ludwig, stood there in utter shock "S-sofy..." His eyes were wide and he took a few steps back.
"How could you replace me with a useless Italian! how could you throw away our memories together! How could you...how could you forget something that means so much to me..."
He kept staring silently, until he was sure she had finished yelling. "Sofy...What promise? I don't understand why your mad at me! I didn't replace you-nothing was ever there between us to replace!"
She stared at him. "The promise Ludwig get it through your god damn hard head!"
He glared at you "For the last time WHAT PROMISE?"
"The day we first met, Prussia was still in rule. He and Austria met up for a meeting and told us to go to the courtyard while they talked! We promised to each other that we would be friends forever! That we would never go back on our word..."
He stared at her again. "You've got to be kidding yourself, I'd never promise something like that, and besides, I dont remember much from when I was younger, and I certainly don't remember you."
"...It doesn't matter anymore...never mind..." She got up and walked to the door. "I'm going out for a while, dont wait up for me."
Ludwig nodded and walked out after her, extreamly confused and hurt that she had called Italy useless...and that she'd come up with something so stupid...he'd never promise something like that...would he?
She stumbled off toward the closest bar, tears streaming down her face. Her heart and soul were completely shattered. Nothing mattered anymore.
She walked into the crowded bar and sat down in a stool, ordering a pint of beer, figuring she could wash everything away with a night at the club...
"So I really mean that much to you Sofy?" Ludwig asked, a blush spreading across his face.
"J-Ja I-I do..." She said, looking over at him and jumping up. "Promise me."
Ludwig looked up at her. "Promise you what?"
"That you'll never break my heart. That we'll always be together forever and ever, nothing can make us forget..."
He smiled a little. "Ja."
She knelt down in front of him and they pressed their palms together, the chain that was connected to the locket dangling underneath.
He could feel the cool metal begin to warm as she recited the first line.
"I promise..."
"Kessessessess" Ludwig herd his brother's laugh in his study and looked up from the book he was reading. "Ja, what do you want bruder?"
"You really dont remember? You two were pretty close."
Ludwig looked up at his brother. She was right...He had forgotten something very important.
"What do you know about us?" He said, setting down his book.
"Well...for one thing she really liked you...I can't believe you forgot all of the times I took you to Austria to see her..."
Ludwig raised his eyebrow. Gilbert was acting very different from his usual self.
Gilbert wasn't one for sitting through a full conversation without getting distracted or loose interest, but this time he was extreamly focused. He had spent the last hour and thirty minutes explaining everything important that had happened between Sofy and Ludwig.
And when Gilbert finally stopped, there was a long silence. Memories flooded over Ludwig and greif struck him hard after realizing the pain he had caused Sofy.
"I'll fix this, I'll fix everything...as soon as she comes back..." Gilbert sighed and ruffled Ludwig's hair.
"Get some sleep. She's not going to be home any time soon I'm sure." Ludwig nodded and stood, walking to his room, only to lie in bed awake the whole night...
Chapter 4 done!
