Okay, this is taking longer than expected *head bangs*. My parents are pestering me to let them read this and their on the brink of finding out that I watch and write yaoi.

If that ever happens, they will not let me continue this story, and this is just a continuation to the friend hunt and not the ACTUAL plot! Oh gott… so I have to write undercover.

If there are some RussLiet fans reading this, soooo sorry, because there is going to be a hint of PoLiet here, please don't hate me. Sorry for the long authoress' note.

On with the chapter:

After eating at the Verre Rose, the duo decided to continue their friend hunt. Feliciano was feeling better after their talk, much to Ludwig's relief. They walked passed the busy crowd and Ludwig started to think as they traveled.

"Who was that person? Why did he try to attack Feliciano and what did he want with the boy?" The blonde thought as he stared at the pavement. He then looked at Feliciano, who acted like nothing ever happened. He then noticed the long strand of hair that stood out on the left side of his head.

The ahoge bounced along with Feliciano as they skipped through the crowd. Ludwig was then focused on the strand that he didn't notice Feliciano stop, causing the man to bump into him.

"Ve~ ouch…" Feliciano whined under his breath.

"Vhat's wrong?" Ludwig asked.

Feliciano was then staring at a pair of teens about the age of Alfred. One of them was blonde and he groped on his companion's shirt. The other one was a brunette with long hair tied in a small loose ponytail.

"OMG, Toris, that outfit is like, totally cute, don't you think?" The blonde asked. Toris groaned to himself and opened his mouth to speak.

"Feliks, you already know I love you, but why do you have to cross dress?" Toris sighed.

"Because, it's like, nice to do it sometimes." Feliks replied. A few people who passed them eyed the two. Some shivered in disgust, and some snickered. Feliciano then grabbed Ludwig's wrist and ran towards them.

"Feli, vhat are you doing?" Ludwig yelped.

"We need new friends, so we're going to make new friends!" Feliciano smiled at the German as they stopped running.

"They seem like they're going to like you and you only." Ludwig sighed pried off the small hand off his wrist.

"…Silly." Feliciano smiled childishly at the tall blonde. Ludwig let out a small sound of confusion. "Don't be so silly, Ludwig! They may like you!"

"But, just look at them; I am sure they will just get frightened." The German sighed, as well as Feliciano.

"Nonesense, Lud! Come on, I'm sure they will soften up when they meet you!" Feliciano smiled and pulled him towards the two. When they approached the duo, the brunette butted in their conversation.

"Ve~ that suit looks nice." He smiled as he turned to them. The other couple turned to them and Feliks slowly nodded

"Ciao, I'm Feliciano! Nice to meet you!" he smiled as he stretched out his hand.

"Wait…seriously? As in Feliciano Vargas?" Feliks gasped.

"Si! Wait, I know you! You're Feliks Łukasiewicz! You remember me?" Feliciano smiled. Feliks squealed and turned back and forth at Toris and Feliciano.

"OMG, It's been like, how many years? How are you? Oh, I totally forgot! This is Toris Laurinaitis! Isn't he like gorgeous?" The blonde jumped. Feliciano took Toris' hand and shook it energetically.

"Nice to meet you, Amico! Oh, yeah! This is Ludwig Beilschmidt. He's kind of looking for new friends with me, so I hope you two could get along." Feliciano smiled as he pulled Ludwig forward.

"Hallo…" he said. It sounded as if he had whispered it to the wind instead of the other duo.

"Hi." Feliks said with a serious face. The two blondes stared at each other, but Feliks ran behind the Lithuanian and hid behind him. Toris let out a sigh and turned to Ludwig.

"I'm sorry, he's just really shy. It's nice to meet you." Toris sighed. "Well, I think we should get going…"

"Okay! Ciao, Feliks, Toris! See you guys around!" Feliciano smiled and continued to drag Ludwig in the crowd.

"See that wasn't so bad, right?" The Italian asked. Ludwig wanted to go back to his house and read that book he was reading, and it's NOT a porno.

"That is because you knew Feliks." The blonde sighed. Feliciano's smile faded away, but it popped on his face again.

"Let's see, how about someone we DON'T know." The Italian smirked and looked around. When they passed the game store, a young boy in a sailor suit was looking through the window.

"Hello!" Feliciano greeted. The boy looked up at him and smiled.

"Good Afternoon!" The boy greeted. Feliciano smiled at him and pulled Ludwig to come closer.

"I'm Feliciano Vargas! What are you looking at?" The Italian boy asked.

"I'm Peter Kirkland, and do you think that CD seems nice? Everyone in my class has one, except me! I wanna be in too!" Peter pouted. Feliciano took a good look at the CD. He looked at the price, and it only cost a few bucks!

"Ve~ Kirkland? OH! Do you know someone named Arthur? Oh, I forgot this is Ludwig Beilschmidt! He's cool, right?" Feliciano introduced. Peter took a good look at Ludwig shrugged.

"I guess, and Arthur is my mean brother." The boy grumbled. The Italian hummed again and looked back at the CD. When he looked back, Peter was slouching away as he walked on the cracked pavement.

"Luddy, wait here!" Feliciano smiled.

"Don't tell me you're going to buy that CD!" Ludwig exclaimed. However, the statement was left forgotten and Feliciano scampered inside. He snatched the CD off the rack and ran to the counter.

Ludwig stared at him as he ran around the store. He let out a rare smile. He had never met someone like Feliciano before; willing to help someone, but he seems to be the type who utterly fails in the process.

The Italian walked out of the store with the CD in hand and turned to Ludwig.

"Oh, no… hell no. I won't chase that boy." Ludwig protested. Feliciano opened his amber eyes and did the puppy dog eyes. It was too cute to reject, for him at least. Ludwig shut his eyes as his cheeks turned slightly pink.

"Per favore, Luddy…" Feliciano begged. Ludwig's face began to heat up. He could hear snickers and chatters about them from the crowd. He heard Feliciano beg as they passed through the alley as they walk, and Ludwig finally heard the Italian pout.

"Feliciano, stop pouting…" Ludwig said. The boy just ignored the older teen and just faced the other way.

"Gott...FELICIANO, MOVE!" Ludwig cried when Feliciano opened his eyes again, he hit the large dumpster and he fell, but instead of falling on the dirty and slimy cement, he fell on something more warm and comfortable.

The Italian opened his eyes and looked up. Ludwig had caught him. The German was lucky that it was dark in the alley and no one was there. If there were even just a small bulb of light, the blush that was tainted on his cheeks would have been revealed.

What did I just do? He asked himself and helped Feliciano up. Feliciano's cheeks were a little pink but it wasn't as obvious as Ludwig's.

"Grazie…" Feliciano said, half pouting.

"Fine…"

The Italian shot up and turned to the German. He raised a copper-colored eyebrow and Ludwig just groaned.

"Fine, we'll chase the kid." He replied. Feliciano brightened up and ran to Ludwig and gave him a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek, which wasn't helping the German from hiding his blush. Instead, it became more visible and Ludwig now looked like an idiot.

"Ve~ okay, now how does that feel?" Feliciano grinned. The misunderstood blonde's blush widened once again.

"N-not bad, I guess." Ludwig replied.

"Ve~ we should do that more often." The brunette giggled. The two walked around looking for Peter, and surely it didn't take them only a minute. They passed a happy family, enjoying their time together, and the duo sighed.

"It's impossible…" Ludwig thought.

"I wish they were still alive…" Feliciano mumbled to himself, staring at the children that held the parents' hands. When they passed the shaved ice store, they found Peter sitting near the shop, drinking a glass of green juice.

"Peter!" Feliciano smiled. The younger blonde turned to them and raised his eyebrows. When he saw Feliciano take out a familiar CD, his face lit up.

"I forgot to give you something!" The Italian smiled as he showed him the CD. Peter jumped out, setting down his half-finished drink.

"For me?" He smiled. Feliciano nodded and handed him the game.

"Ludwig paid for that too." The 14-year-old smiled at the younger boy.

"You guys are the best! Thanks Feliciano! Thanks Ludwig!" Peter waved as he ran off towards the opposite direction. When Peter thanked Ludwig, the German began to feel proud and better.

"Ve~ when he thanked you, it felt nice right?" Feliciano smiled.

"Ja…" was all Ludwig could reply.

"I told you; anything could happen. You helped a boy, and now you feel better than before!" Feliciano giggled. Ludwig let out a sigh. It did feel good though, to help someone if you could afford it.

"Ve~ Ludwig, where do you study?" Feliciano asked.

"I am going to Hetalia University this year, you?" Ludwig replied. The German noticed that every time Feliciano would think, he would hum a playful tune.

"I think I'll be going to a similar school…its called Hetalia too." The boy said.

"You're possibly referring to Hetalia Academy..." Ludwig said as they continued to walk. Feliciano then looked around to see if there were any people he could talk to.

"Don't judge the people by their looks, Feli." Ludwig whispered. Feliciano just shrugged. He then spotted a young girl who looked like a boy with her short hair, but a violet ribbon indicated her gender.

"Hello there!" Feliciano greeted.

"Good afternoon." She smiled.

"I'm Feliciano Vargas and I'm new here! This is Ludwig Beilschmidt." Feliciano introduced. The younger girl gave him a small nod.

"I'm Lili Zwingli, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lili said.

"Lili! Don't talk to strangers!" a man said. When Feliciano looked up, panic had stricken him. There was another man with golden hair, but he held a firearm. He then started shooting at Feliciano, who ran away.

Ludwig recognized the man. It was his classmate, Vash Zwingli. He was identified as a "trigger-happy" type of person, who always held a gun. The school forbid him from bringing weapons, so in the campus, he replaced it with a BB gun. (Did I get it right?) Feliciano then grabbed Ludwig's arm and ran off.

After the run, the two panted as Feliciano looked at his watch. It was past three already. It was Siesta time for him!

"Lud, do you know the way back home?" Feliciano asked. Ludwig looked around, and his eye twitched.

Scheiße…

They were in a part of the city he did not recognize. There were less people there and the atmosphere was different from the busy part of the city. Feliciano then began to look around.

He then saw a woman about a year or two older than Ludwig. She was with an aristocratic man with brown hair and glasses.

"Excuse me?" Feliciano tugged on her sleeve. When she saw him she started cooing.

"He's so cute! Don't you think, Roderich?" The woman squealed.

"Yes, yes…" Roderich sighed.

"Can you help us? Go back to the subdivision near here?" The Italian asked.

"Of course, but if we meet again, can I dress you up?" The woman smiled cheerfully at him.

"Okay! I'm Feliciano Vargas and this is Ludwig Beilschmidt." Feliciano smiled.

"I'm Elizabeta Héderváry and this is Roderich Edelstein and…wait…did I just hear you say 'Beilschmidt'" She asked. Her eyes were growing colder and a creepy aura was spreading around her. The people surrounding them began to shiver and some began to take cover.

"Do you happen to know some idiotic pervert named Gilbert?" She asked them. Ludwig nodded along with Feliciano. Elizabeta's eyebrows began to arch.

"Do you mind if I go there with you?" She asked.

"No not at all!" Feliciano smiled. Elizabeta then tugged Roderich's sleeve, catching his attention.

"Rod, I'm just going to visit an old friend. Would you mind if I went with them?" Elizabeta asked. Roderich shook his head. The two bid goodbye and parted ways.

After a few minutes, the finally arrived in front of their houses; Elizabeta's dark aura hasn't changed and she started to mumble things.

"Give back what you stole!" She charged in the house. After she slammed open the door, a shriek was heard a crash occurred. Gilbert came running stumbling out of the door with a red mark on his head and Elizabeta began to chase him with her trusty frying pan. "Give back those documents you stole from Roderich, damn it!"

"Ve~ See you tomorrow, Luddy!" Feliciano smiled. The Italian tip-toed and gave Ludwig another hug. This time, Ludwig hugged back, but it was only a pat on the back.

"Ja, see you tomorrow." The blonde said as Feliciano let go and ran back inside his own house.
