Feliciano walked into his room, his breath hitching slightly, he wiped his eyes even though there were no tears there yet. He could feel them coming. He should never have opened his mouth. He'd expected them to be shocked but the barrage of questions had been too much, he'd had to excuse himself.

He looked at himself in his bedroom mirror and felt a small sob fill his chest, he swallowed hard and closed his eyes, he could picture in his head how he wanted to look when he wore these clothes, but when he opened his eyes he saw the opposite of that.

He didn't understand this change, he'd been ok with his body until now… He'd never liked his body, but he found himself hating it more now a days.

He sat on the bed, closing his eyes again and letting out a sigh. His eyes snapped open a few seconds later as he heard a knock at the door.

"Hello?" he said weakly, wiping his eyes.

"It's me," Elizabeth's voice came through the wood. "...Are you ok?"

"Yeah," he said back.

Elizabeth tried the door, frowning to find it locked from the inside. "Feliciana, please come out, we didn't mean to upset you, this is just a bit of a shock for us."

Feliciano bit his lip, frowning softly; she hadn't even called him the right name.

"Ludwig is downstairs by himself Feli," Elizabeth said sternly, "It's rude to leave your guest."

"Then tell him to come up here!" Feliciano snapped.

The woman didn't reply, didn't knock or try the door again, so Feliciano guessed she'd walked off.

He didn't like shouting at her, he didn't like being angry, he hated it. But at that moment he hated her, he hated both of them, he wanted them to just say 'ok we'll call you by your new name, no questions asked', why couldn't it have been like that? Why did they have to question him and call him weird?

There was another knock on the door, Feliciano's teeth grit at the noise. "What?" he snapped throuh grited teeth.

"Feliciano?" Ludwig said quietly through the door, "Can I come in?"

Feliciano jumped up from the bed, unlocking the door and opening it, pulling Ludwig into a hug, feeling tears start to fall down his face, "Ludwig," he squeaked.

Ludwig hugged him back, stroking his back slightly and walking him into the room, closing the door behind him.

"You know they do accept you Feli," Ludwig said quietly, "It's just going to take a little while before they understand."

"But you understood straight away," Feliciano whined in protest, nuzzling against him.

Ludwig shook his head, "Yes, but that's because I know what transgender is. I have other friends who've been through what you're going through."

Feliciano pulled away slightly, looking up at him, "You do?" he frowned softly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought it would be better for you to work it out by yourself. I don't want to push anything on you Feliciano."

Feliciano chuckled softly, wiping his eyes and smiling up at him. He moved away to sit on the bed, "...Who do you know? Could I talk to them..?"

Ludwig shrugged, "I don't know, I suppose you could, I'd have to ask first." he rubbed feli's arm, "I'll ask them and give them your number."

Feliciano nodded feverantly, "Si, si, please Ludwig, I will love you forever if you do that."

Ludwig paused for a moment, a soft blush coming to his face, he cleared his throa and shifted slightly, "Just a thankyou would do, Feli."

Feliciano smirked, "What's the matter Ludwig? Don't you want me to love you?" he let out a soft chuckle, looking up at him.

"Well I," Ludwig forced a tight lipped smile, "Of course I do Feliciano, but we've only been on one date."

Feliciano chuckled again, reaching over to nudge Ludwig's arm, "It was a joke you know Lud, you don't have to take everything so seriously."

Lovino nodded, diverting his eyes slightly, "Yeah, I know, sorry."

Feliciano reached out to take his hand, "I do really like you though ludwig, you're so nice to me."

"I'm just treating you like you deserve to be treated Feli," he said quietly.

He smiled and lifted himself off the bed, pulling Ludwig down into a kiss, his eyes closing for a moment before he pulled away. "...Do you want to go back downstairs?" he asked quietly.

Ludwig exhaled softly and nodded, "Ok, if you want to come back up later then that's ok."

"Yeah ok," Feliciano said, nodding softly as he climbed off the bed. "Thank you Ludwig."
