Next part!

Ludwig huffed softly as he walked into his room, his frown softening as he was greeted by a dozen copies of Feliciano's smile. He smiled up at the posters, feeling instantly calmed.

"Hello, Feli," he said to them as he walked to his computer, turning it on and looking around the room as it warmed up.

He loved his room, it was perfect, his own little sanctuary. Painted white with dark wood furniture and blue highlights… and 12 Feliciano Vargas posters.

He took them down whenever he had company over, his brother knew about them but Ludwig didn't think he cared enough to tell anyone. He'd shown Feliciano and been met with a chorus of adorable laughter, the boy had had to hide his face to shop his blush from showing. Ludwig had worried it would seem creepy, if anyone showed him the same he'd be creeped out, but Feliciano had loved it.

Ludwig had gone as far as to tell him that he occasionally kissed the poster by his bed before going to sleep, after they had said goodbye, Feliciano had confided in him that he had a picture of Ludwig on his phone, and he sometimes did the same thing.

The idea seemed so sweet, the thought that Feliciano kissed Ludwig's picture before he went to sleep, it made Ludwig smile more than anything.

Ludwig's heart jumped as he heard skype ringing, he quickly pressed the answer button, smiling as Feliciano's smiling face filled the screen, "Ludwig," the boy cooed at the sight of him.

"Feliciano," Ludwig said cheerily, "I missed you," he looked him up and down, he could tell from the small snippet of background he could see, the beige leather sofa and the gold floor lamps behind him, that the smaller boy was in the living room of his house.

"I missed you too," Feliciano sang, making a heart sign with his hands.

Ludwig smiled, undoing his bag and pulling out his books, putting them away on the shelves by the computer, "I just got home."

Feliciano let out a small giggle, "Does that mean I get to watch you change out of your school clothes?"

Ludwig glanced at him and smiled softly, giving him a small nod, "Yes it does," he informed.

"Ok," Feliciano said, his voice hushing slightly, "Then I'll have to go to my room, if Romano sees you changing he'll think you're doing a strip tease or something…"

"Who said I'm not," Ludwig retorted playfully. The screen of the computer became blurry as Feliciano moved rooms, sitting down on his own bed and putting his laptop on the bedside table, taking a moment to move things around to make space.

"There," he said happily as the picture became stationary.

Ludwig smiled at him, beginning to undo his black tie and white shirt, glancing up every few moments to see Feliciano watching him.

"You are so beautiful Ludwig, you know that…" he cooed, smiling softly.

"Feliciano," Ludwig said as he slipped a t-shirt over his head, "You can't say that to me, you're far more beautiful than me."

Feliciano shook his head, lifting his own shirt to show his stomach and chest, Ludwig's gut jolting slightly at the sight, making him let out a tiny groan.

"See I have no muscles like you," Feliciano whined, "Your stomach is so gorgeous and hard and mine is just," he flicked his stomach, frowning at the small ripple that appeared when he did so, he huffed softly, "…Yeah."

Ludwig smiled, staring almost lustfully at the screen, "That doesn't mean you're not beautiful…" he let out a small huff as Feliciano pulled his shirt back down, "I could help you get fit if you want."

Feliciano shook his head, "I can't go on a diet, Romano will think you're making me."

"You won't have to diet," Ludwig began to explain, "Just eat a few less snacks. We can exercise together? On camera."

Feliciano giggled and blushed, "Ludwig you know that will make me turned on, watching you work out."

Ludwig huffed, "You will be working out too Feli, you wont get turned on," he smirked, "And if you do we can take a break to do other things."

Feliciano giggled and nodded, leaning back on his bed, "Ok, that sounds so nice Ludwig, I would love to do that."

"When would you like to start?" Ludwig asked, smiling, "I don't suggest today, you need to be in the right mindset."

Feliciano nodded, "Ok, tomorrow then," he giggled, "I like watching you work out Ludwig, I like the noises you make."

Ludwig smirked, "Stop it Feli…" he cooed, "Has your interview come out yet, the one you did last week?"

Feliciano nodded, his eyes squinting slightly with his smile, "Yes it came out this morning, You have to go to the celebrity page of their website."

"Ok, let me watch it." Ludwig pulled up the site, one of his most visited, one of the most popular Italian celebrity sites that Ludwig could visit with a German IP address.

He jolted slightly as a knock came from his door, Gilbert shouting through in German, "Ludwig, I need to talk to you."

Ludwig huffed, "Can't it wait 5 minutes?"

"No it cannot," Gilbert half-sang, turning the handle of the door and preparing to push it open, "I'm coming in so I better not find you naked, you know I told you not to do those sort of thing over the internet…"

"I'm not naked Gil," Ludwig almost snapped, frowning as the older man came in.

Gilbert looked to the computer as he walked in, waving hello to Feliciano. "…I don't think you should be on call for this conversation Ludwig, "

"Why not? Feliciano doesn't know German anyway he won't understand what you're saying."

"If you insist…" Gilbert huffed softly, sitting down on Ludwig's bed, he crossed his arms, looking more serious than Ludwig had seen him in years.

Ludwig turned his chair, frowning softly, "What's wrong Gilbert..? Has something happened?"

Gilbert chewed his lip, trying to figure out the sentence in his head, "Ludwig… I got a call from someone at your school today, your language teacher, he informed me that you are being bullied."

Ludwig's eyes widened, "What?" he grit his teeth and shook his head, internally cursing his teachers, "I'm not being bullied Gilbert."

Gilbert shifted, smoothing out the blue bed sheets with his hand, "Now… I've also noticed that lately you haven't been talking as much, and you've been spending a lot of time in your room… and now it turns out you're hiding things too. I looked it up, and," he paused for a moment, his eyes meeting his brother's, "I think you may have depression."

Ludwig shook his head quickly, "No," he snapped, "No Gilbert I don't, I'm not depressed."

"All the evidence suggests otherwise, Ludwig."

"No." Ludwig snapped again, "Ok, Gilbert, maybe I am being bullied at school, but I can deal with it. The reason I'm spending more time in my room is because my computer is here and I want to talk to Feliciano, and I don't talk to you much because all I want to talk about is him and I don't want to bore you. Do you understand that?!"

Gilbert let out a small huff, a smile ghosting his face, "Look, and now you're getting aggressive… Ludwig, you might not realise it, and even if you aren't depressed you certainly aren't acting like yourself. I made a doctor's appointment for Thursday evening."

"What..?" Ludwig said, his frown softening, "No, Gilbert, you can't, everyone will think I'm a freak."

Gilbert chuckled softly, "Ludwig, from what I've been told, everyone already thinks you're a freak, you may as well be a freak who's getting help. It's happening if I have to drag you, if it turns out you don't have depression or anything then I'll take it all back and I'll cook you some wurst ok?"

Ludwig felt his temper rising, he opened his mouth to yell but Feliciano's voice pulled him away.

"What's happening?" he said softly, sounding almost afraid, "Is something wrong?"

"..No," Ludwig said after a moment, forcing himself to calm down, "Everything's fine Feli… Listen," he chewed his lip, "I'm not going to be here Thursday evening, Gilbert says I've got to go to the doctor."

"Why?" Feliciano said, shifting closer to the camera, his eyes widening, "Is something wrong?"

"No," Ludwig said quickly with a shake of his head, "Nothing's wrong."

Gilbert got to his feet, letting out a small huff as he walked towards the door, "…Lying to him isn't going to help anything," he said softly as he walked out, closing the door softly behind him.
