Alfred stretched out, and took a deep breath. "Are you feeling better, now?" Ludwig asked him. Alfred looked at him.

"Yeah."

"Good." Ludwig pointed to a corner in the room. "Walk over there."

Alfred raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What? Why?"

"Just do it."

"Okay..." He walked over to where Ludwig pointed.

"Good." He pointed to another corner. "Now walk over there." Alfred walked to where Ludwig pointed, again. "Now come over here." Alfred reluctantly walked until he was in front of Ludwig, who grabbed his hips. Alfred yelped, and tried pulling back on instinct. "Good boy."

"What?"

"You did what I told you to do. You were a good boy."

"Okay... Why did you want me to walk around the room?" He tried stepping backwards, again, but Ludwig kept a good hold on his hips.

"I just wanted to see if you'd actually do it." He turned Alfred around, and pulled on his body, so he was sitting on his lap.

"Wh-What are you doing?! Let me go!"

Ludwig wrapped his arms around Alfred's waist. "Stay put."

"N-No..." Alfred tried to keep himself from crying.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything. I just have some questions for you. I've been curious about some things."

Alfred closed his eyes. "Do you have to hold me to ask?"

"I want to hold you. I also want to know about you. Where are you from?"

"What?! I'm not going to tell you!" Alfred tried leaving again.

"I'm not letting you go. How about this? You tell me, and I'll tell you how your family is doing without you."

Alfred's eyes widened in surprise. "Wh-What did you say..?"

"I've been talking to Gilbert while you're not around. He's been telling me about how your family is doing. He's going to be coming back in a few months, so you can always ask him then, but I'm not exactly sure when he'll come back. You can either wait, and keep quiet, or you can tell me about your life, and I'll tell you when you're done. Your choice. You don't have to tell me exactly where your family lives. I'm just curious about your past."

Alfred's heart was racing with hope, now. "Y-You promise?"

"Of course, as long as you tell me what I want to hear."

"W-Well, um... My parents were separated shortly after we were born... I-I think it had something to do with us being twins, and my parents not being able to handle two babies at once, or something. I don't really understand, but um... My mother took Matthew, and my father took me. He went to Canada... Quebec, I think, and I lived in New York, until my parents got back together some years later, and moved to Texas."

"Texas? Isn't that in the southern part of America? I thought you were against slavery. Were your parents slave owners, or something?"

"No!" Alfred suddenly screamed out in anger. "They moved down there to save people from slavery! They were able to get a few people up north. I was even able to help them hide, and fed them until my parents could hide them through-out the long trip."

"Is that why you have to help anyone who you can?"

Alfred shrugged. "I guess. Though, the superheroes in my comics are awesome!"

"Huh. I guess that makes some sense. It explains your personality, at least."

Alfred groaned softly. "Can I get off, so I can drink some water?"

"I guess." Alfred got off of Ludwig's lap. He had to leave the room, to get the water. Sven was standing around the area where he would ask for the water.

"Oh! Is Ludwig gone? Do you want to talk some more, or are you tired?"

Alfred shook his head. "No. I'm just thirsty. I was going to get some water. I'm returning to my room right after."

Sven looked disappointed. "Oh. Well, if you want to continue talking later, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll talk to you, tomorrow!"

Alfred nodded. "Thanks. I'll see you later, I guess." He returned to his room, once he got his water. He drank about half of it, before Ludwig could take any of it. He set the glass down, and sat back down on Ludwig's lap. "Can you, please, tell me how my family is?"

Ludwig wrapped his arms around Alfred's waist. "How about pets? I know you had them, right? Unless doctor Vogel was the only one talking about his own pets?"

Alfred groaned. "I promise to tell you what I told Sven, if you tell me how my family is. If I refuse, than... Well... You can do whatever you want. Just... Please... Please, master?"

Ludwig smirked, and chuckled. "I won't let that work, all the time. However, since the information is small to me, but so large to you... Your family is okay." A huge weight was lifted off of Alfred's shoulders. He almost actually felt it. "They're working with Gilbert, to find some kind of loop-hole in the slavery deal in Germany, in case an American is sold. It's not going so well, though. Yes, it's illegal to grab Americans and turn them into slaves, in America, but the people who grabbed you, knew that they could get away with it, if they were already grabbing people in Mexico- where it is not illegal to kidnap people from."

Alfred looked down, at the floor. "Couldn't they try to push a new law, or something?"

"They could try, but chances are, they won't. I already paid so much money for you. They know that there will be a problem, if I have to give you back, without getting my money back. If they're lucky, they MAY be able to make it illegal to grab Americans in general, but that honestly wouldn't mean anything for you. You would still be mine."

Alfred closed his eyes. "That's better than nothing, I guess." He said, in a raspy whisper. He was trying not to cry. He was happy, but he still wanted to go home.

"Are you okay?"

Alfred's eyes opened again. "What?"

"Are you okay?" Ludwig repeated, in a more stern voice, this time.

"Oh, yeah... Um... Do you even like me?" His eyes widened in surprise. 'Why would I ask THAT, out of everything?! I guess I AM a little curious, but...'

"Yes, of course I do. If I didn't, than I would have taken Ivan's offer a while ago. I know what I told Ivan, but if I didn't like you, than I wouldn't have bothered."

Alfred honestly didn't expect that as an answer. "Really? Why do you like me?"

"Well... You're a kind man, who always puts others before yourself. You're strong, and... You love your family enough, that you would do anything for them. I honestly hope that you'll become comfortable enough, to talk to me about anything you want to talk about. I didn't know that that was what I wanted, before, but I like having someone to talk to, I guess."

"Wow, um... Oh, right. I promised you something... I don't think you'll believe me, for part of it, though. Um... I had two rabbits, and a cat. I don't really remember the two rabbits. I had them, when I was young, and in New York, with my dad."

Ludwig raised an eyebrow in confusion. "That's believable..."

"I didn't finish..." Alfred sighed. "Um... We- "we" being me, and my family- we went to the beach one year for a vacation, and I befriended a whale."

Ludwig scrunched his eyebrows together. "Excuse me?"

"There's more! Unless Gilbert already told you about Matthew's pet..."

Ludwig shook his head. "No, I don't think he did."

"If you don't think he told you, than you don't know. You wouldn't be able to forget something like, "oh, and Matthew has a pet polar bear, who never grows." Ludwig paused for a few minutes, to think about what Alfred said, over and over again. He couldn't believe the words he just heard. Alfred looked up at him. "Um... Hello?"

"I'm sorry... I'm just trying to think about how such a thing is possible. The only logical explanation is that you are crazy, and quite possibly schizophrenic. I think Gilbert would have told me, if Matthew had a pet bear..."

"Are you sure? He didn't even tell you where my family lives, despite it being such a big place. Thus, taking you forever, if at all, to find them. If you ask him, than I'm sure he'll tell you the same thing I just told you."

Ludwig took a few seconds, before sighing, and making his decision. "I don't think I'm going to think about this too hard. I don't think I need to heard about what other pets you had."

"That's it, actually..."

"That's... Good."

"May I ask you some questions, before you leave?" Alfred asked, suddenly.

Ludwig was honestly almost afraid of what those "questions" were. "It... Depends on the question, I guess."

:"How do you put a price on a slave who was born as such, and was never sold?"

"Um..." Ludwig had to think about that, for a second. "I'm not... Exactly sure. I think the master would get an estimate, by asking a slave trader. 'Probably for a fee."

"Oh. That makes sense, I guess."

"Don't you have more questions, for me?"

"Oh, um..." Alfred hesitated. "Um... Are you... I mean, since Gilbert's gone, and now, um... Are you lonely?" He tensed up, before anything happened.

"No..." Alfred relaxed, a little. "I still talk to him through the phone. My cousin's also still around. He's not in Germany, but he's a lot closer than Gilbert is."

"I didn't know that you have a cousin... Where is he?"

"He's in Austria." That word sent needles straight to Alfred's chest. That's where he was sold. "He has a beautiful wife. He's also very talented. I'll let you try his cooking, some time. Do you like sweets?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Y-Yeah..."

"That's good. He has his own bakery. He's also an amazing composer of music."

"O-Oh..." Alfred barely knew anything about Ludwig, until now, but he was still pinned down, and forced to take whatever Ludwig wanted to give to him. Ludwig didn't know much about Alfred, as well, but it didn't mean that he could get information through other people.

Ludwig slid his hands up, and down Alfred's lap. "Is that all?"

Alfred tensed up, again. "N-No, um... M-May I go? I guess Sven wasn't done talking to me." Ludwig rubbed circles against Alfred's thighs with his thumbs. "Y-You said that..." Ludwig slid his hands off of Alfred's lap. "Thank you..." He whispered.

"I'll go, so you can talk to Sven." Ludwig moved Alfred off of his lap. "I'll check up on you, tomorrow. I want you to eat. If you don't, than I'll have to punnish you."

Alfred nodded. Ludwig walked out of his room, and Sven walked in seconds later...

APHAPHAPH

I'm soooorry for the boring chapter, but... I can't remember what I was gonna say... "I wanted them to know each other, some how?"

I'm hungry. I'm gonna see if we have chili powder. My boyfriend collects difference spices. It would be strange, if he didn't have chili powder.
