The next morning, sofy sat up and streatched. She did get some sleep...but only a few hours...

The sun was already slipping in and the birds were out and chirping, there was frost lining the window too.

She sighed, Ludwig would have gotten onto her for waking up this late. But this was her break, her getaway, but not from just work. The memories of the last few nights filled her mind and added more weight to her shoulders.

She knew her friendship between Ludwig was over, or if it wasn't, very different.

She dragged herself out of bed, her small feet gently touching the cold, hardwood floor, and walked to the guest bathroom with a few of her things to get ready.

Closing the door gently behind her and locking it, she turned on the water and filled a bath, stepping slowly into the hot steaming water.

Once she was completely in and relaxed she sighed, fighting with her mind to think something other than Ludwig, but eventually gave up, thinking back to right before she left.
They'd had fights before, but they were nothing compared to this.

"Well maybe if you didn't have such a big mouth we wouldn't have been caught!" Ludwig bellowed.

They were both in the same room, after being caught in the huge castle. Ludwig was standing up and yelling at Sofy who sat on the bed and stared at the floor.

"W-well maybe if you weren't so slow we could have gotten back before dinner!"

"Well if you would give more clear instructions I wouldn't have been so slow!"

"Well sorry if I'm not some drill sergeant like you!"

Ludwig sighed. "I'm only like that because I want to be a successful country one day."

"I know we're older now...but can't we still have some fun without having to be all country like?"

Ludwig thought for a bit. "But we need practice..."

She rose her voice this time, sounding tired and strained "God Ludwig why are you such a Gott verdammt hard head! It's not like we're going to be full blown countries overnight!"

"But it helps to have experence!"

"You get that on the job Ludwig. Can't you at least relax?"

"...Nien."

She sighed, standing up. "whatever, I'll be outside..."

Again her thoughts were disturbed by a loud knock at the bathroom door.

"Sofy, breakfast is ready when your done." Elisabeth's voice chirped sweetly from the door.

"A-alright, I'll be there in a minute..." Sofy mumbled, popping open the drain and getting out, wrapping a towel around herself.

Roderich was sitting at the dining room table eating a peice of toast when Sofy came in, hair damp, in a pair of long cargo pants and a long-sleeved cotton shirt.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, looking up at her.

"I got a few hours to say the least..."

"Ah, well, breakfast is ready, why don't you sit down and eat with us?"

She nodded and sat in the empty chair across from Elisabeth's, nibbling on a peice of bacon.

"This isn't what you usually eat..." She mumbled.

"Well, I wanted to try some new things..." Elisabeth said quickly, obviously trying to hide something.

"...alright.." Sofy mumbled, looking at the woman in front of her.

"So what are your plans today Sofy?" Roderich asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"I haven't really thought about it...probably go out to town or something..."

"Mn, you can go shopping with me if your going to be in town, is that alright?"

"Uhm...sure Elisabeth..." Sofy said, eating the last of her bacon.

Ludwig hadn't slept at all that night, so when he finally gave up trying to sleep he got up and went to his study. He did have a bit of work to do that he snuck out of the office to bring home that he had planned on doing yesterday but never got around to it.

To his surprise though, as soon as he sat down infront of it he had no desire what-so-ever to complete it, and he wasn't phased by the fact that his entire study looked like it just went through a tornado.

He didn't even feel like eating. His mind caught up on the fact that he had almost taken advantage-no- raped Sofy last night.

He felt dirty and ashamed, which didn't help with what he had already been feeling before the incedent.

He knew he would have to deal with Feliciano as well, but he was debating on keeping his relationship with the italian or leave him for Sofy and risk rejection. His heart was torn.

It wasn't fair. But then again, he also had a small thought that it was. If he hadn't forgotten, and been so selfish in the first place this wouldn't have happened...but things probably wouldn't be the same either...

"What have you gotten yourself into Ludwig?" He thought aloud to himself.

"Gotten into what?" A small whisper came from the doorway, and Ludwig looked up.

"Italy?"

"Ve~ Germany~" A sleepy Italian walked into the study, rubbing his eyes.

"I thought you went home, why are you in your Pj's?"

"Ve I couldn't go home! It was scary in the dark! So I slept in Germany's closet cus' I didn't want you getting mad at me..."

Ludwig stared at Feliciano. "S-so...you heard me and Sofy last night?..."

The Italian nodded. "Ve~ I did...but it's ok~ I thought it was cute that Germany liked a pretty lady~"

Ludwig was confused. "You mean you dont care if I'm in love with someone else?"

This got the Italian thinking, but eventually he shrugged. "Veeee I just wanna see Germany happy!"

Ludwig smiled. "Mm...Well...Things may not work out with Sofy..."

"That's ok~ If you can flirt with one girl than you can flirt with another~!"

"W-we weren't flirting we were fighting!"

"Veee but big brother France told me people in love fight a lot before they realize their in love~"

With that a million images of Francis raping Iggy popped into his head, sending shivers down his spind. "He does fight with that stuck up brit all the time..."

"Ve what?"

"N-Nothing, nothing, never mind."

Feliciano gave Ludwig a confused look before glancing up at the clock and almost had a heart attack.

"VE! Oh no! Lovi's probably worried sick! I should get home!"

"I'll drive you..." Ludwig mumbled, not wanting his friend blown to bits by an angry Swiss.

There you have it~ Chapter 7~ Hopefully Chapter 8 will be posted quicker but I dont know, we'll see.

R&R!
