Chapter 12 (Good News)
"Kesesesese I can't believe it and what did you do then besides pissing on your pants?" Gilbert and Francis were having a good time interrogating the couple with new italian boyfriends. They were now having some drinks at a bar near to the germans place.
"Stop it Gilbert it wasn't funny the man even said he had something to do with the mafia in case we tried to hurt his grandsons" Antonio still shivered at the memory,
Ludwig who had preferred Antonio to tell the whole story talked for the first time in the night "he also said he was good friends with our grandpa, he even mentioned you bruder",
Gilbert put down his beer "Really?, mmm… how was he?, perhaps he was confused he's an old man after all",
"He is not that old, he is in excellent shape for his age, and about his appearance I would say is a mixture of Romanito's looks and Feli's personality, well when he's not talking about murdering his boy's suitors",
Ludwig add "I don't think he's confused either, he told us about that little bird you had when you were little and besides he made a quite accurate description of you bruder", Gilbert blinked "Oh yeah , what did he say?", Ludwig and Antonio look at each other and answer at the same time, "the most annoying and stubborn brat he ever met", the three man laughed at this while Gilbert hit the table in anger "Now I remember that dummkopf, there was a time when he wouldn't let grandpa alone, I always thought they had something for each other, even they were total opposites they were very close –too much for my like If I may add-".
"so it seems it's on your blood hu?" said Francis and patted Ludwig in the back, this one lightly blushing, Gilbert noticed and didn't lost the chance to tease his brother "Awww Lud It's been years since the last time I saw you blushing like that". Antonio worsened it "oh really? Because last night he was doing it a lot", "honhon why so shy Ludi?". Ludwig felt utterly embarrassed he was used to being teased by this three but they hadn't made him feel so uncomfortable since they were kids.
"Enough let's leave Ludwig alone guys" Antonio was the one who always showed more sympathy for the younger german, Francis decided to give him a break as well, "Fine then, now Gilbert tell us what was the important thing you wanted to tell us".
"oh right sorry, it's just that my news were totally eclipsed by the conquers of these two " Ludwig gave his brother a glare as a warn in case he wanted to touch the topic again, "Don't look at me like that Lud what I'm going to tell you would make you happy", Francis wasn't really patient "to the point Gilbo".
"Ok ok, well last night after the soccer match I had to return to the school because I forgot some stuff, I walked towards the teacher's room but as I walked I heard some noises, at first I couldn't identify the sounds, but as I got closer to a door -I couldn't see it was really dark- I heard it, clear, those were…moans, I thought that perhaps some kids were having some "fun" and as a teacher it was my duty to reprehend them", "you wanted to watch mon cher" the frenchman cut him, Gilbert simply nod and Ludwig and Antonio gave them a disgust look.
"Anyway, I decided to surprise them, it would be more funny, so I opened the door carefully, I could hear them more clearly now but I still couldn't see them, then I realised I was at the principal's office, these kids had guts, I stood still a few more minutes, enjoying the scene, and God they were enjoying as well"
"You're sick bruder" Ludwig couldn't believe Gilberts behaviour.
"Calm down Ludwig it's like the porn you watch just live", Ludwig facepalmed but let it go, he didn't want to give Gilbert more opportunities to make fun of him.
"where was I? oh right, then, I turned on the light, I couldn't believe it", "what did you saw?" Antonio and Francis in the corner of their chairs.
"over the desk there was our uptight principal turned into a damsel in distress and the stupid Physics teacher on top of him, kesesese they were speechless, I was speechless, I turned on my heels without a word, but they jumped from their places and stopped me ".
"ohonhon I can't believe it I knew that so called gentleman was a pervert inside", Francis and Arthur met when they were just kids, they hadn't seen each other since college but when Gilbert and Antonio started working on Hetalia high school, they contacted again just to argue over nothing as they always did.
"hahahaha I wished I could have seen his face" Antonio was a friendly guy and had trouble with nobody, but for a strange reason he and Arthur had never liked each other, it was the only person who could make him mad and also the only person he liked pissing off. They just tolerate each other for sanity.
Ludwig wasn't laughing and asked his brother with concern "and then, what happened?".
"Well it has to do with the good news" Gilbert searched for something in his jacket and took out a flyer, he throw it on the table for the other men to see, Antonio picked it "a beach house?, what with it?", Gilbert gave them a grin "well, as you may have inquired already if people knew about the incident I witnessed last night, there would be plenty of trouble, I mean after all the Academy is known for being an elite institution, I don't think our dear director wanted this to change, so he made me promise not to mention anything about it and in exchange he'll let me use his beach house for a few days ", "and you accept it?" Ludwig asked as he raised an eyebrow. "why the hell not Lud?, I was in need of some vacations anyway and he said you and Antonio could as well take some days off", "I refuse to go" the younger german didn't feel it was right to blackmail his boss, but his brother was clearly enjoying it.
"don't be so serious Lud, the man practically plead me to take the offer", "and what about Alfred?" Ludwig said , "he was just as ashamed as his partner when I caught them, but recovered just as fast and started calling the guy Artie even thought I was there, kesese he was actually the one who made the proposal , he mentioned his little brother would be our host in our time there", "still I don't think it's a good idea, or what do you think?" Ludwig turned to look for some support from the other men, but they were checking the flyer enthusiastically.
"Amazing this place looks like a mansion" Antonio pointed at the images , "yes yes and there surely be plenty of beautiful ladies looking for some company" Francis was already doing his planning.
"I can't believe it" Ludwig smacked his forehead in frustration, "oh come on Lud you can also invite your Feli, and Antonio could bring Romano, you guys could have an awesome time", "that would be perfect I hope Romanito wants to joins us, well I think that if you convince Feliciano he'll come right away, so what do you say Ludwig?", Ludwig was still processing and Gilbert interrupted "he doesn't need to convince Feli, he just have to open his mouth and the boy will be wearing his swimsuit", "oh shut up, I'm leaving now".
"what's wrong mon ami you don't usually get mad so easily". Ludwig gathered his things "I'm not mad, and fine I'll go to the trip I just have to go now"
"But why Lud? we're having a great time now" Antonio tried to persuade him.
"It's not like that I just have something to do", Gilbert took a sip of his beer as he murmured "don't forget to ask him about the trip Lud, I must confirm how many people is going before Friday", Ludwig blushed again but ran away from the trio as they started laughing.
"Ciao Ludwig you came!" the boy jumped and hugged Ludwig from joy but pushed back in an instant, he was used to do this kind of thing with people he loved, but Ludwig was different and he didn't want to make him uncomfortable, "I´m glad you had the time" he said with sheepish smile.
Ludwig was still recovering from the surprise, bus as he was getting used to the little italian displays of affection, he found he liked them more than he would like to admit, "I always have time for you" that came out to natural causing a bigger smile on the italian and stutter on the German , "I mean I…I had some free time so uhm I thought there was no problem and uhm...", Feliciano treasured this moments in which Ludwig forgot about self control. Until he recovered Ludwig continue the talk "so what did u wanted to show me?".
"Oh you're right, come inside Ludwig", the italian grabbed the taller man by the hand and lead him through the house, Ludwig was by now more familiarised with the residence, but Feli took him upstairs this time exactly to his room, once there Ludwig noticed the boy was kind of disorganised but still the good taste in the decoration remained, it was a large room, Feli had his own bathroom and dresser, but what called his attention was the balcony, seemed it was originally planned to be a greenhouse but there were no plants in there, "come Ludwig" Feliciano entered to the place Ludwig was inspecting a minute ago, so he followed, and as he entered he realised that the place had been turned into a study, while Feli searched for something, Ludwig looked around admiring the paintings that covered the place, the utensils were impeccably arranged and there were some pictures of Feli with his grandpa and Romano. This room represented Feliciano entirely, warm, happy and beautiful.
"Ludwig?" the blond came out of his thoughts "I'm sorry what did you said?", "well you know you gave me this the other day and It meant the world to me" Feli showed the cross necklace he was wearing "and I wanted to do the same for you so here It's for you" he handed the german a canvas wrapped in fabric, "I hope you like it, it's something really special for me" he said with a trembling voice.
Ludwig took the present with a smile and proceed to unfold it, he put aside the fabric so he could fully observe the painting, It was a landscape, Venice, it was beautifully painted, a work of art indeed, the older man stood there admiring without saying a word, this was making Feliciano anxious "vee~ Lud did you..", "It's amazing" the german said suddenly "you never cease to impress me", the words so sincere made Feli bushed a deep red "You think so? Because, well I wanted to give it you, so you could remember me when you see it", the blonde smiled at the thought that he could hardly take the younger man out of his head most of the time, "thanks you Feli, It's an incredible gift", "you know Ludwig I loved my hometown, well not as much as I love you". They were standing before each other Ludwig inclined a little to be at the same height of the italian, Feli closed his eyes and stepped closer, their faces almost met when a third person entered in the study,
"Evening Ludwig, Feli didn't mention you were coming" Arsenius stood resting on the frame of the door, Ludwig felt his legs trembling but managed to control himself as he approached the elder man and greet him properly, Feli hid his smile, he knew Arsenius wasn't the jealous parent type, but how we enjoyed using his scary side for making other people miserable, as long as he didn't hurt Ludwig, Feli would allow the teasing, he was having his part of fun in this after all, however he felt some pity for Antonio the poor guy had to stand a moody father in law in addition to a moody boyfriend.
Ludwig tried to explain himself but in vain, Arsenius was doing his best at supressing the laughter, how much this blond boy remembered him of Gerhart, how much he wished he could have teased the old german like this -well whit out fearing a painful revenge-"Enough boy, you want to stay for dinner?", Ludwig felt tense again, he loved being with Feli but two nights with this man demanded too much of his strenght, but when he was about to decline the invitation, his Achilles heel grabbed his arm "Si, Lud I'll make whatever you want for dinner", a fade of pink covered the face of Ludwig and both brunettes thought for themselves -adorable-, "well I guess I could stay a little longer, anyway I wanted to ask your grandpa something".
"HU?" confusion showed in the face of the italians, "well my bruder organised a trip to the beach and well I wanted to know if you", Arsenius hit Ludwig in the back "sure son we'll be glad to go", Ludwig opened his eyes wide "no I meant", "don't worry Lud we were in need of a vacation anyway –where did he hear that before?-, or did you meant taking just Feli with you?", Ludwig was about to answer "because if that's the case there's no freaking way I'll let him go with you", the poor german was trapped, he knew Antonio wouldn't mind but Gilbert and Francis will surely kill him, he sighed, "I'm so happy you can join us, now If you'll excuse me I just remembered I had something to do, we'll talk about the details in another occasion", Arsenius stopped him with an arm "what?, weren't you staying for dinner?", "Sorry Sir is really important, thanks for the invitation anyway, see you Feli", Ludwig rushed out of the house.
The Italians stood on their places until they heard the front door closing, "Grandpa" Feliciano crossed his arms over his chest, "what is it Feli?"Aesenius gave his grandson a smile, "why did you do that?, you could have let me go without any problem, you told me you trusted Ludwig", "Oh I do trust him Feli, actually I think he's perfect for you", "then?", "I do need the vacation, and don't worry I'm sure they'll want me to go anyway", Feli raised an eyebrow in suspicion "why so sure?", "soon you'll know about it, now let's have dinner I'm starving".
