A long, deep exhale left Ludwig's lungs as he shut the door behind him. "Luddy? What's wrong?" Feliciano asked innocently from the top of the staircase, walking down to hold onto Ludwig's large hands. How was he going to say this to Feliciano? His eyes were full of worry and he had been through so much already. Feliciano would be sent into a panic if Ludwig told him. "It's...it was just a cat...""A cat? Then what about the police sirens?" "It got stuck up a tree" "Ludwig"
He really was an awful liar. "Ludwig" Feliciano repeated, squeezing his hands, "I'm not a child! tell me the truth". Ludwig ran fingers through his hair and breathed out again, passing Feliciano and making his way into the kitchen. He watched as Ludwig put the kettle on and pulled out two mugs. This was going to be a long talk. Still remaining silent, Ludwig poured the coffee into the mugs and settled down onto the table.
""Lovino was attacked by Natalya Braginski. He's in hospital right now. Thankfully he wasn't hurt critically" Ludwig confessed, "I wasn't sure how to tell you". Wincing, he looked into Feliciano's eyes, expecting fear and panic, but instead found his features to be calm. "I see..." Feliciano spoke in a barely audible voice. This wasn't like Feliciano at all, the Feliciano Ludwig once knew would be screaming and crying on his knees. Death had changed him. "When I was a young boy, Grandpa asked me and Lovino to inherit his food businesses after he would pass on..." Feliciano began, "Lovino and I were ecstatic, our grandpa was so powerful in the food industry. So powerful...he become too big to manage. And he began to fall. When he passed on, Lovino rejected the inheritance and gave it all to me. He said it was a crumbling enterprise with no hope of salvation...but I made it work...and I became wealthy from it...don't you see Ludwig? Since I've died, Lovino took over from me...so somebody is after our money...Money is the main objective in these murders...Ludwig...do you have a copy of the will Lovino wrote for me?" Ludwig blinked back at Feliciano, his brown eyes were as expressionless and cold as coffee stains with an equally as cold voice. "Wait here..." Ludwig sighed, making his way to the study. Papers and books all laid strewn across the shelves and floor. Ludwig hadn't of entered the study since the day Feliciano died. It sparked too many painful memories.

"Coming!"
Ludwig raced to the door, opening it up to find the whole Hetalian detective group standing on his doormat, their hats down and their faces grimly staring back at him. "Ludwig...you rang us last night on the search for Feliciano Vargas?" Francis asked quietly, his voice sounded like it was buried 3 feet underground. "yes...I did...Did you find him? Is he okay?" Ludwig asked quickly. Each one of his questions sounded like the hope was being sucked out of his body. The group looked at each other and nodded slowly. "Ludwig...Feliciano Vargas was found dead on the side of the road a few meters from his house...we're so sorry..." Arthur whispered, just looking at Ludwig in the eyes made his heart shatter and the tears spill down his cheeks. It's not the grief that hits you first, it was the shock. Ludwig gripped onto the door frame, his eyes widened and full of pain, but no tears were spilling. His heart felt like it been taken right from his body; he had forgotten how to breathe. "Thats...I..." Ludwig's scratchy voice managed to come through. Arthur pushed past everyone and walked to the front of Ludwig's yard to release the last few tears from his eyes.
Even though he was the first in command for being an independent leader and having many years of experience, it was always giving the news that someone had died to their loved ones that he could never control himself with.
Yao sharply looked at Ludwig. "We will be interrogating everyone Feliciano was close with. We'll...contact you..." "Once again we offer our condolences.." Alfred butted in. The group stayed at his door for a few more painful moments, their gazes locked onto Ludwig's, before slowly shuffling away.
Ludwig shut the door slowly, looking through the crack and watching the group disappear into their tiny car, before shutting it completely. The house felt so much different now and yet he had been in here all morning. The air was heavier; it was colder. Ludwig slowly returned to the study room, sitting down to process everything. Feliciano. His Feliciano, was dead. He isn't coming back. He's dead. He's gone. He's dead. Ludwig increasingly got madder and madder as the phrase 'he's dead' replayed in his head. The phrase grew louder and louder until it was practically screaming. Ludwig began to sob violently; his body shaking with the weight of the tears spilling down his cheeks like a waterfall. "Feli! FELI WHY?!" He screamed in tears. He needed to break something. It was the only way he could seem to calm down. Unfortunately, his neat and tidy study area was the first thing he came in contact with, punching the shelves and throwing books to the ground. Ripping up paper and slamming his fists to the table. God he was hopeless. Ludwig curled into a ball on the paper filled floor, endlessly crying until he fell asleep.
Through the rubble of paper on the ground, Ludwig found the will Lovino had written. On the first week after Feliciano's death, Lovino hurriedly gave it to him. Just looking at it hurt him. So he threw it into the study, never to see it again. The Ludwig from 2 weeks ago wasn't exactly the smartest man. Picking it up, he shut the door behind him and rushed back into the living room, where Feliciano was looking dreamily at the kitchen. "Oh there you are Luddy! You know...I was thinking...I would really love some Apple crumble! Arthur made it for me once...I'd love to recreate it!" Feliciano spoke excitedly. This sudden burst of excitement in Feliciano, made Ludwig's heart a little lighter. "Yes Liebe...we'll make it tomorrow!" Ludwig said with a smile, kissing Feliciano's neck from behind. "Luddy...I've been thinking...when this ordeal is over...can we go travelling?" Feliciano asked innocently, turning to face Ludwig and stroking his chest slowly. "Travelling? Where to, Liebe? If you could go anywhere, where would you ant to go most of all?" Ludwig cooed, kissing Feliciano on the nose. "I would really love to go to Paris! Francis mentioned he had come from there and from what he told me, it sounds really nice!" Feliciano said cheerfully, standing on his tiptoes to kiss Ludwig, "It is the city of love after all. I would love to go there with you." Ludwig cupped Feliciano's face and started to kiss him, almost hungrily and pant.
"Oh Luddy~" Feliciano moaned out, clawing his hands down his back and pushing him to the living room couch. Ludwig smirked a little, a dark blush covering his face as he ground into Feliciano's crotch, adding pressure with each pleasurable mewl that escaped Feliciano's lips. "Hmm..more please~" Feliciano whined impatiently. Ludwig unzipped Feliciano's fly and practically slipped off his boxers within two seconds. Feliciano grinned and roughly pulled down Ludwig's pants and boxers, so the pair of them were naked from the waist down. Feliciano stroked Ludwig's inner thighs, earning a sharp gasp from Ludwig. "F-Feli...haa...Ich Liebe Dich..." Ludwig moaned as Feliciano cupped his balls. "I know Luddy...I know..." Feliciano panted, lowering his head on Ludwig's dick and giving the head a few experimental licks. With each lick of Ludwig's dick, he could see his face flushing darker and darker and his expression become more prominent with pleasure. Feliciano took this as his cue and took it all in, humming to send light vibrations down it's length. "Ahhh...oh mein gott Feli...oh mein gott..." Ludwig moaned loudly. That hot, wet mouth. Those vibrations...oh god. Ludwig couldn't help it. He came into Feliciano's mouth with a strangled cry and pant. Soaking up the post-orgasm ecstasy, Ludwig came over to Feliciano and gave his ignored length some much deserved attention. "Luddy! haa...don't stop..." Feliciano moaned with each hard stroke of his length against Ludwig's touch. Ludwig's hands were rough and large, all those times they had done it before...somehow none of them could compare to the pleasure they were feeling now. Maybe it was the time they had spent apart that made this time all the more special to them. While Ludwig pumped Feliciano, Feliciano brought his fingers to his mouth and then to Ludwig's tight hole, sticking in two fingers to start with, then added another to stretch him out. Ludwig stopped pumping and spread his legs, aligning himself with Feliciano's member. "Okay, I'm ready!" Ludwig moaned through clenched teeth. Feliciano smiled down at Ludwig, the taste of his salt still lingering on his tongue. Slowly, gently, Feliciano entered Ludwig, sparking a sharp gasp of surprise as he entered his tight hole.
"Are you okay Luddy?~" Feliciano asked out of breath. "yes...yes I'm fine...just...move please" Ludwig replied with a pant. Feliciano smiled and began to slide in and out of him, moaning with each thrust. Three thrusts in and both of them were synchronized with their moans as Ludwig wriggled his hips with each thrust. "Ludwig! You're so tight! Oh god! I'm going to-" Feliciano moaned out with a final thrust before spilling into Ludwig with a cry. Ludwig gave his member a few strokes and came with a shudder. Feliciano pulled out and rolled over next to Ludwig, panting with each jolt of electricity that left their limbs. "Ludwig...you were amazing..." "Nothing compared to you Feli...please...promise me you won't leave me again" Ludwig spoke in a quiet tone. Feliciano blinked and looked away. He couldn't exactly promise Ludwig that. This was his second night alive, he only had 12 days to find who had killed him. He wasn't exactly sure what would happen if he didn't find the murderer. In the time the two have now, how would he go about finding the person who had killed him...without people knowing he was alive trapped in Ludwig's house made it all the more difficult. Although, he didn't want Ludwig to worry as much as he already had. Feliciano looked back at Ludwig, who was tightly hugging his waist on the verge of falling asleep. "I promise. I'll never leave you..." Feliciano cooed, kissing his forehead and falling asleep in his embrace.
