These Chapter Titles Can Be Really Long, Can't They?
(I Really Like Writing Them, So Sue Me)
Ludwig found himself in a predicament.
"..so will you do it?"
Usually he would just give in to Feliciano's pleas. Eventually he ended up doing so, so most of the time Ludwig decided to be easy on himself and simply start off with the giving in so that he would have time to do something else. Therefore his first thought was to do what Feliciano was asking, despite the fact it was not really for Feliciano, but for Lovino.
"Please?"
But the thing was that Ludwig found that he really did not want to do it. Not that he was trying to get on Lovino's bad side, but... well, he was already on Lovino's bad side. Ludwig did not actually care what Lovino thought of him at this point. All he really wanted was for Lovino to leave him alone. And for Feliciano to stop spending all of his waking moments hanging around his brother and his brother's wedding preparations. What he wanted was for this all to be over.
"Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
And with Feliciano and Feliks' insane idea, Ludwig was not certain if he really wanted to be involved in any of it.
"I'll love you forever! Not that I wasn't going to before..."
Ludwig knew he was going to say yes. He just was not as certain that he was going to actually do it.
Damn, now he felt like his brother.
"Of course, Feliciano."
Feeling or doing anything remotely like his brother was a really bad thing. Just like that Ludwig decided that no matter his feelings on the matter he would just help out and wish for the best so that when April came and went he would just not have to think about any of it anymore.
After Feliciano ran off Ludwig decided to get his supplies ready when there was a knock at the door. Answering it, there was Alfred with a big grin on his face.
"Am I interrupting anything?"
Ludwig thought about that.
"No."
"Then do you have time to look through these plans with me?" Alfred pulled out some papers from under his arm. "I wanna commission you and Gil to fix up a house for me, but I'd like to know the cost estimate this week... if it's even possible."
Ludwig picked up the papers and nearly dropped them in surprise. If Alfred had done this... it was strange. He would have expected crayon drawings or something. Not to say Alfred was not capable, but Alfred was always more capable when he was doing things for others, not when he was doing something for himself. For some reason, that was why he made a wonderful doctor for a small town and would have likely failed if he had been employed in a hospital.
"Come in ant ve'll talk about it," Ludwig offered.
"Awesome!"
Notes:
It hurts when Feliciano is being unintentionally cruel. Coming from him, it seems amplified somehow. Then again, it hurts when anyone is being unintentionally cruel. That is the definition of cruel. Well, not the definition. I should stop being so nitpicky.
And yes, I meant for the task Feliciano was asking about to be vague. Truth be told, I did not want to come up with something right now. If anything comes of it, I will think of something, until then I do not want to be picking through the specifics of wedding plans. After all, what do I know about weddings? Researching and stories can only tell you so much.
Except that Ludwig has a hidden side of forgetting things he really does not want to do. Hidden because he usually does not forget things, even when he does not want to do them. I guess it just happened one time too many. Plus, Alfred brought up the best distraction ever, which is reconstructing a house.
