A strong, cold breeze woke Feliciano. When he realized he was on top of Ludwig, he bounced off of him. Had he really fallen asleep on him? He was pretty warm and comfortable. The last thing Feliciano remembered was crying like a baby and jumping on Ludwig. Oh. That was embarrassing. Feliciano looked around. It was already dark. He couldn't see any lights except a few coming from Ludwig's house. Looking up, Feliciano saw all the stars. It reminded him of his time in space. Ludwig stirred in his sleep until his eyes opened.
"Feliciano?"
"L-Ludwig!" Feliciano squeaked. "I didn't notice you waking up. Listen, I'm sorry about doing that so suddenly... " Ludwig gazed at him, and Feliciano saw the sky reflect in his clear blue eyes. It made Feliciano's heartbeat speed up and he felt breathless.
"I didn't really mind. Did you sleep well?" Feliciano was only able to nod his head. "That's good. We should probably get in my house. It's pretty windy out here." Ludwig stood up and held his hand out to Feliciano. "Are you coming?" He nodded again. Ludwig pulled him up with his hand. "I suppose we're going back to bed."
Feliciano looked at Ludwig and noted that his cheeks were darker than usual. He was also holding his hand. Feliciano felt his ability speak return. He wondered why Ludwig had the power to render him speechless.
"Yeah." Much to Feliciano's dismay, Ludwig let go of his hand when they reached his back door.
"Good night... I'll see you tomorrow." said Ludwig quietly. It wasn't entirely a whisper, but it was hard for Feliciano to hear. When Ludwig shut the door of his room, Feliciano let out a loud sigh and sat on the brown sofa. He couldn't believe what was happening. Was he actually falling for that serious human? It's not like there was a problem with having a crush on a serious human, but now was not a good time for that. And did Ludwig like him back? He wondered. What would his family back home think? Why was he even thinking about this? Feliciano blamed his drowsy mind for the strange thoughts. Perhaps it would be better if he went to sleep.
Once he reached his room, Feliciano took off all his clothes and jumped on the bed. He wrapped himself with the warm blankets and glanced out the window. It was warm, but something was missing... What was it? Ludwig... Feliciano scolded himself for thinking that. Ludwig already made it clear that he didn't like Feliciano sleeping in his bed naked. But that didn't make Feliciano go to sleep quicker. He was awake in bed for nearly fifteen minutes when he decided to get up. That was it. He slept alone for a few days, but right now he didn't care. Feliciano hated sleeping alone, and so he dragged himself and the warm blankets to Ludwig's bed. He tiptoed quickly when he was in the room and saw that Ludwig had already fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful when he slept. He looked almost completely different when he was awake. Seeing him made Feliciano quietly swoon. He quietly snuck into the bed and snuggled close to Ludwig. Now he could sleep. Hopefully he'd have a nice dream.
Roma had sent out several ships to follow him and stay behind in case Feliciano responded to the locator waves they sent out. This was the only way that he could get a clue about Feliciano's whereabouts. With his sharp gold eyes, he scanned for any trace of the escape pod. The pods were a silvery and metallic color that would be easy to spot when the camouflage was not in use. He doubted that Feliciano knew how to use the camouflage on the pods anyways. After searching for several minutes, he took a break. He didn't really have to be searching with his eyes, but it made him feel better. This specific ship had a radar that could locate disturbances in the waves they sent out, but Roma liked doing things the old fashioned way. He was actually rather old. As a ruler, his lifespan was longer than anyone on the planet. He sat in silence until there was a beep at the door behind him.
"Come in." he ordered.
"Emperor Roma–" announced a young man with short, baby blue hair and thick eyebrows.
"Mr. Kirkland, you should call me Captain Roma. I am not an emperor here."
"You're still the emperor."
"Actually, right now I'm not. My grandson is."
"Lovino? Why did you make him emperor now?"
"I'm pretty positive that we will return safely, but just to be safe, I made him emperor temporarily. I'm sure he'll figure out what to do."
"Emperor– no Captain Roma, I believe that was a foolish decision."
"And why do you think that?"
"First of all, he is very reckless. He is also inexperienced."
"So was I." Roma left him speechless. "So what exactly did you come here for?"
"I came to announce that we have located several portals throughout the area."
"Good job."
"Do you want us to do anything? Any orders?"
"No. Just wait. If Feliciano's out there, then he'll reply."
"And if he doesn't?"
"We'll see. Now, Mr. Kirkland, aren't you busy? Go back and join Mr. Jones to continue the search."
"Very well." He left the room. Roma tapped his chin and sat back down at the small conference table. Although Mr. Kirkland was pointing out something that could be true, he did't want to believe it. He was sure that Feliciano was out there.
Sorry about the short chapter! Oh! And yes those are supposed to be England and America. They're not really going to be main characters, but I thought I should put more people in the story. What will Germany do when he wakes up? Hee hee.
