"One more lap! Let's go!" Katja yelled to Feliciano as she ran alongside him.
He was heavy breathing so he couldn't even talk, which Ludwig didn't mind one bit.
Katja had been training Feli alongside Ludwig for a while now. He had asked for help to be more of a man to attract the ladies, so of course Katja volunteered her and Ludwig for the job. Of course Feli didn't realize he would regret it until he was there on the track, unable to feel his legs anymore.
A lap later they were done. Katja stood with her hands on her hips. She was wearing a black half tank top and short army green shorts. She looked down at Feli who laid on the ground, breathing like an asthmatic kitten.
"Are you alright?" Katja asked him as she drank some water from her water bottle.
But of course Feli couldn't answer, so he just gave a thumbs up.
"You will be pawing the ladies off of you." Ludwig said with a small smile.
Katja pushed Ludwig playfully, and with that started a small playful fight.
Ludwig grabbed Katja and spun her around, making her giggle like crazy.
Feli looked up at them and smiled.
"You too are in AMORE!" Feli squealed and stood up.
Ludwig let go of Katja and they both just stared at Feli with bright red cheeks.
"No No No" Both of them said, and to that Feli laughed.
"Don't you see it? The way your eyes sparkle when you look at one another. The way you smile and laugh. IT IS AMORE!" Feli spun around with his arms out.
Ludwig grabbed his arm, making him immediately stop.
"We are not in love. Our relationship is purely professional." He stated flatly.?
"Well… Have you asked her that?" Feli asked with a smile.
Ludwig let go of him and looked at Katja who just stood there blushing.
"Meine frau, is this what you want?" He asked her sweetly.
"Ummm…I believe it would be worth… as they say… a 'shot'?" Katja said with a smile.
"KISS HER!" Feli squealed, throwing his hands in the air.
Ludwig walked up to Katja and placed his hands on either side of her face and ever so slowly moved closer to her and placed his lips onto hers.
Feli watched them and squealed with joy, unknowing of the problems that that small kiss would unleash.

Antonia sat on her bed watching Katja pace in her room "this is horrible!" katja wailed "how so?" Antonia asked her "this is my career and its on the line just because I kissed him and Italy told fucking EVERYONE!" katja said falling down into tears and incoherent speech of "crying is a weakness and I am weak!"
Antonia took her heavy crystal ball and dropped it on the floor next to her scaring her out of her wails "there is nothing wrong with having feelings" Antonia said standing before her.
Katja let her pull her up "just because they say it is wrong does not mean they are right. And they will not persecute you for it"
Antonia said opening one of her closets for katja to see a vast array of weapons "they summond you too…. Italy told them about you and ivan as well" katja said wiping her tears.
Katja froze for a second at the smile that appeared on antonias face "well we shall then have to… persuade them that this is no big deal" she said with an evil laugh.

"I don't know what to do" Ludwig said as he and ivan stood in the training room of the castle "they have summoned you and I to a world council because Italy couldn't keep his mouth shut" Ludwig said.
Ivan watched as feli popped up "hi germa-" he started to say but Ludwig punched him so hard he fell down cold. "what is the problem then?" he asked
Italy popped back up and ivan punched him back down
"we will both lose our jobs and standing… you are not supposed to have relations with your boss" Ludwig said punching Italy back down
Ivan smiled a slightly evil smile "then my kisu and I will show them they are wrong" he said punching Italy again and then tossing him out the window.
"IVAN!" Antonia yelled from the top of the ivan turned to his lyubov "prepare the supplies" she said with a smirk that made him shiver slightly in fear and anticipation.

Antonia, Ivan, Ludwig and Katja all sat outside of the Great Hall, waiting for the Council meeting. Katja and Ludwig didn't even look at each other since they both felt irresponsible and foolish for giving into their impulses. They both knew they shouldn't have kissed, even if they enjoyed it so. And they were ready to accept any and all punishment they would be given.
Antonia and Ivan, however, did not care what the other countries thought. They sat together on the bench, Antonia sitting on Ivan's lap, Ivan's face buried into her hair.
Katja looked over at the adorable couple and sighed. That is what she wanted, but her upbringing made it impossible for her to do what she wanted.
Ludwig stared at Katja, he felt terrible for putting her through this, knowing he should have been the one to control himself. He just wanted to feel her soft lips on his.
He sighed. "I'm sorry, meine Kaiserin." He said softly and grabbed her hand.
Katja looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"You should not be sorry. I was the one that failed you and let my emotions get the better of me. I should not have confided in Italy. He made it seem like it would be okay. I should have known better."
Instead of speaking, Ludwig just kissed Katja's hand, and she smiled at him.
After a few minutes late, they were called into the Great Hall to stand up for what they thought was right.
