A week past and Lovino knew tonight Ludwig was coming, coming to see him. He was terrified, hands shaking, and frozen to the spot where he sat at the end of his bed. His heart was racing inside as he heard footsteps getting closer and closer to his door. The slow, even stride was the walk of a man who has served in some form of military. Ludwig always seemed like a military type. He was so orderly, neat, strong, a total tool at times, but he liked order and his country. It only made sense for those steps to belong to him.

The door to Lovino's room opened and sure enough there in the frame stood that meat headed German. Lovino stared at him for looking at the wall. Ludwig hung his coat on the back of a chair and moved so he was standing in front of him. "Aren't you going to greet me?" Ludwig sneered. Lovino turned away, he felt sick, he hated himself. The German slid off his work jacket and folded it before setting it down on a table. Lovino was trying to get his hands to stop shaking. He didn't want Ludwig to see him scared.

Lovino kept his eyes down and bit the inside of cheek. Ludwig looked over at him before sighing. "You haven't said a single word. That's not like you; you're always screaming and throwing a fit like a bitch. Did you finally lose your voice; well I must say the silence is a nice change. I never was one for noise." Ludwig said, expecting some sort of violent response from the pissy Italian. He was surprised when Lovino kept looking down at the floor, not doing anything.

Getting annoyed and irritated with the whole situation Ludwig took Lovino's chin forcefully between two fingers. "Every time I'm around you I feel angry, like I just want to punch you. You feel the same don't you, you want to hit me right now, but you won't. You're a coward, a scared little child, you're pathetic." He told him before stealing a forceful kiss from his mouth. Lovino's eyes went wide in horror and he tried to pull away. Ludwig pinned him down by his wrists and refused to let go no matter how much Lovino struggled.

Lovino's energy drained and he finally stopped. It was then that Ludwig let him go. "You're a liar…a stupid fucking liar." Lovino said not moving from where he laid on the bed. Ludwig looked over at him giving a sigh.

"I didn't lie to you. I'm not going to have sex with you, but I'm not going to spend all that money on you just to sit in the corner. I'm going to mess with you a little."

"No! No you're not! Don't touch me!" Lovino screamed darting off the bed and smacked him across the face. Ludwig stared at him, his eyes narrowed in for the kill, Lovino glared right back but his hands were shaking. Lovino waited, his breath caught in his throat, he waited for the German to hit him back, and he waited for him to do something. Ludwig cupped Lovino's cheek with the palm of his hand and ran his thumb over his lips.

"I'm doing you a favor, hiring you for my use only, would you rather be passed around like a used toy. Think about that next time you try pulling a stunt like that."

"I didn't ask for this! What have I done to deserve this? Why? Why?" Lovino screeched shaking his head. He fell to his knees and his shoulders started to shake. Ludwig picked him up by his wrists.

"Where's the Lovino I used to know, he wouldn't be falling apart like this? You really changed haven't you."

"The person you used to know didn't care about anyone but himself. All he did was hate everyone around him, he didn't have a single friend, even my own brother didn't want to spend time with me…he would have rather spent it with so. That lonely bitter mean me is dead…and this sobbing useless no good for nothing me is staying. So if you were looking for the fighter I used to be…it's long gone." Lovino smirked and tears started to run down his face.

Ludwig growled and let him go. "Now who's the liar…the fight isn't dead. You still had that spark you had as a child, and it was pretty bold of you to actually hit me. That doesn't sound like dog beaten into submission, it sounds like a caged tiger. Something will set you off, until then you're just a tame little kitten." Ludwig pulled on his coat and went for the door.

Lovino didn't know what came over him but he grabbed Ludwig's sleeve. He wiped his eyes with his other hand and looked up at him. "Where are you going? It'll look strange if you leave so soon." He muttered, clenching the sleeve tighter. Ludwig then grabbed him and spun him around slamming him into the door.

"Then give me one good reason to stay here." Ludwig said. Lovino's head was spinning as he tried to think of something, but all the stress made thinking clearly all that much harder. Lovino felt dizzy and the room kept moving like waves of the Black Sea. "Well I'm waiting." Ludwig hissed low and silently. Lovino clung to his sleeve tighter, anger, fear, and worry all mixing inside his chest.

"Tell me what you want me to do! I'll do it, just don't go out there, don't get me into deeper shit then I already am. Please, if you can't do this for me then you must at least do this for my brother." Lovino begged, the last of his pride finally dying.

"What if I told you that I wanted to sleep with you? What if I did? Would you? The whole reason we set this up was to keep your pathetic virginity intact."Ludwig pulled his hand from his sleeve and threw him onto the bed. Lovino's eyes went wide in horror. Ludwig hated how Lovino's face was so similar to his brother's. Hated how he could be so bitter and now so pitiful when he shared that face. Most of all he hated how he loved the color of Lovino's eyes. A perfect shade of olive green. He hated him for having a certain sex apple that his brother's cuteness was severely missing. He hated Lovino, he just hated him.

Lovino didn't move from the bed. He just stared at the German waiting for him to make a move. Ludwig glared at him and reached for the door knob. "No! I'll do it! Just don't go…please!" Lovino yelled. Ludwig sighed and released the door knob and moved to the edge of the bed. With his height and standing the way he was, he towered over the poor Italian like a beast out for blood.

"Would you really give it up for Feliciano?"

"He's the only family I have…I might not always like him…I might think he's an idiot…but he's my brother. You wouldn't understand, you're the little brother, but as his big brother I have to be responsible for him. I'm not going to let him die just because he got sick! So yes, I'm willing to do anything!" Lovino growled and glared at Ludwig.

Ludwig took his cheek in the palm of his hand. Such smooth skin for a man, it wasn't natural. "Sometimes I wonder why I hate you…you care for Feliciano a lot. I'm not going to have sex with you, we had a deal after all, and I just wanted to know how far you would go for him."

Lovino sprung from the bed and stuck Ludwig across the face. "Fucking bastard! Don't toy with me, especially about something like this, don't fucking do it! I hate you! I hate everything about you. I hate that you love my brother, if you didn't love him, I wouldn't have to deal with you!"

"If I didn't love your brother, then you would be fucked, both figuratively and literally. Right now you need me! Once he's better you won't have to deal with me."

"That's a lie…as long as you love him…I'll never see the end of you."

First of all I wanted to say sorry for updating so late. My computer was having issues. Also sorry again, this chapter wasn't what a few people thought it was going to be. Lovino and Ludwig's side of the story is a messed up one but then again this whole fic is a little messed up. But still sorry that it was a sweet and romantic as people are used to me doing.

Please Review. Reviews help motivate me.
