A/N Hey there guys! I just want to say thank you for following this story; you can expect awesomeness. Also every time I type the name 'Ludwig' I punch a kitten in my mind. Enjoy!

"Scratch Scratch"

Ludwig tossed in his sleep.

"Scratch Scratch"

He groaned opening his eyes to find the source of the annoying noise. Ludwig looked at the window by his bed to be greeted by a brown cat scratching at his window. "What the hell?" he sighed. "How the hell did Pookie get here?" he thought.

Ludwig opened his window and brought the cat inside; it looked content in his arms. Ludwig smiled and nuzzled into the cat, he actually like animals even if he wasn't this affectionate in public. He chuckled to himself this cat smelled deeply of pasta.

"Hey Bruder get up! You have to get ready for school!" Gilbert barged into the room, catching his brother off guard. "What's up with the cat?" The older of the two asked, having finally noticed the brown ball of fluff cuddling into Ludwig.

"Wha- Oh this is Feliciano's cat, I found it outside the window just now." Ludwig placed the cat next to him, where it sat down patiently.

"That's funny…." Gilbert looked deep in thought for a second before snapping out of it. "That actually works out! You were gonna have to walk to school by yourself anyway. Just drop off the cat and walk with Feliciano."

"Okay, but why would I have to walk to school by myself, and why are you up so early? Isn't it my job to wake your lazy ass up?" Ludwig asked suspicious of his brother.

Gilbert made a sly face at his brother "You know, beginning of the school year traditions!"

Ludwig sighed, he knew that these 'beginning of the school year traditions' consisted of hooking up with the first girl he could before school started, to keep him 'focused'. However he did have a girlfriend so he shouldn't come with a black eye like last time, although knowing Elizabeth, he probably would.

A sharp chirping noise was heard and Gilbert turned off his watch. "Speaking of which, I have to run" He darted out of his brothers' room before stopping and calling from the front door, "I'll see you when ya get home!" And with that he slammed the door to leave.

Ludwig looked down at Pookie who had begun to roll around on the blanket of his bed. "I guess I should get ready.

Ludwig knocked on the door of the Vargas' home. A boy that looked a lot like Feliciano except darker hair, curl on the other side and a very angry look on his face greeted him.

"What the hell do you want you stupid bastard!" the boy snapped, obviously fumed by the unexpected visitor. Ludwig just stared confused at this kids' obvious lack of any manners at all.

"What's going on fratello?" a voice called from behind.

"Good, so I am at the right house." Thought Ludwig relived.

Feliciano walked up next to the angry boy. "Oh hey Ludwig!" Feliciano smiled. "And you brought Pookie back!" he reached out to take his cat back from Ludwig.

"How the hell do you know this bastard?" The angriest of the group shouted.

"Oh right sorry! Ludwig, this is my brother Lovino. And Lovino this is Ludwig, the guy that I play football with."

"Hallo" Ludwig replied awkwardly.

"Fuck you." Lovino deadpanned before walking back into the house.

"Ve~ Sorry about him, he can be a little snappy sometimes…" Feliciano sighed.

"Hmm, it's okay. By the way, would you like to…" Ludwig sighed, his brother wasn't here so he didn't actually have to go through with this, yet he felt somewhat compelled to. "-Would you like to walk to school… with me?"

Feliciano's eyes lit up, "Ve~ of course I would! Let me go tell fratello!" he turned and ran into the house. After some yelling, swearing, and a broken mug, they were off, without Lovino ("Why would I walk to school with that potato bastard!")

They walked on together towards Hidekaz Himaruya high school.

"I hope we have some classes together! It's always nice to have a friend!" Feliciano exclaimed looking up at Ludwig with his ever cheerful smile.

"A friend…?" Ludwig asked more to himself.

"Ve~ yeah! You're my friend aren't you?" Feliciano's smile faltered.

Ludwig saw the Italians sad expression and quickly explained. "I-I-I don't mean that I don't want to be your friend, it's just…. I didn't think you actually considered me one." He looked away from Feliciano and continued to walk.

"Oh course you're my friend you silly!" Feliciano ran in front of Ludwig to stop him from moving. "Why else would you hang out with me?" The smiled returned on the Italians face, and Ludwig felt himself return the gesture.

"A friend. I guess I have had friends before (if you could consider them friends-as I mainly like to keep to myself), but for some reason, I feel like I actually want this to work." Ludwig looked up back to the sidewalk they were on. "Yeah, I guess I am your friend"
