My Roommate is on my mind:

Ludwig walked out of the airport towards his car, fiddling with the keys in his hand. Feliciano, in his infinite lack of wisdom, begged Ludwig to drop of his two precious cousins at the airport. Ludwig was reluctant but agreed. And at the last-minute, he managed to drag Gilbert with him, who currently had his head resting against the passenger window. There was no way that Ludwig was putting up with Lovina's mouth alone.

When he opened the door, Gilbert jumped up from the noise. Then, after releasing it was just Ludwig straightened himself and leaned back against the glass. "Did you tell her yet?"

Gilbert asked and Ludwig eyed his brother curiously as he started the car, "Tell who what?"

Gilbert crossed his arms and sniffed, eyes still closed, "Feli. Did you tell her that you like her already?"

Ludwig didn't response right way, choosing to focus on the winding roads of the airport.

"I couldn't," he admitted flicking on the turning signal, "Not with Lovina hovering over me like that."

His brother muttered something unintelligible as they approached the onramp to the interstate, "You gotta tell her one day, West."

He knew this was true. Felicia was graduating this year and was coming back to Germany to live with her cousins for a while. And if that New Years' peak meant anything, she felt for him what he felt for her. But that wasn't the only New Years event that made him hesitant.

Ludwig licked his lips. When he caught himself doing so, stopped immediately. Even if the feeling of his own petroleum protected lips reminded of his roommate in ways he was sure were accidental on her part. Still, that didn't help the fact that it happened, that they had kissed, if only for a few seconds at most.

Should he read into it? Ludwig glanced at his brother, who was adjusting the vent on his side to get more heat. Gilbert, sadly, had more experience with women than he did. Perhaps his brother could offer some advice on this matter.

"I," he started but stopped himself, weighing the options. Should he tell Gilbert about what happened?

Was there really anything to tell? Nothing had really changed. Their kiss didn't devalue or alter his feelings towards Felicia.

Sure, An'na avoided him a few days after. And sure, sometimes when Ludwig saw her the first thing that came to mind was champagne and Chap Stick, but that would fade eventually.

It was stupid really. Something accidental was bound to happen between them anyways; they were roommates after all. Although, Ludwig fancied it would be along the lines of accidentally seeing her naked.

"Thinking of Feli naked." Gilbert snickered.

Ludwig stiffened, and closed his mouth after he realized it was open, certain that he was caught thinking about An'na's naked body. When he realized his brother said 'Feli' and not An'na, he sighed in both relief and a bit of shame. He should probably stay away from those books and DVDs hidden in his room. At least until this whole kiss thing blew over.

"I'll tell her in the right moment," Ludwig said instead. Gilbert shrugged and went back to resting against the window.

A/N: Happy belated 4th of July to all of my American friends and those who just love fireworks! Apologizes for the delay in updates, holidays tend to have that effect. Anyways, I thought I'd do another round of thanks for countries with the most views! US is the lead, followed by Germany, the Uk and Chile! Chile? Yeah, I said the same thing! Thanks to everyone who favs, follows, reviews, and just reads it! You guys are the reason I keep going.
