Chapter 1
Anniversery Surprise
The open road that stretched ahead of them seemed all but long. The German man with sleek blond hair and soft ocean blue eyes looked ahead. Keeping his eyes still on the road, although his ears listening to his Italian lover in the next seat. The copper haired Italian slept quietly with low steady breaths passing through his soft lips. The Italians chest rising up and down slowly each breath in a quite rhythm which was the music to the Germans ears, each breath like a soft note to a melody. They entered what seemed to be a road carved in a mountain. As they enter the German makes the black car speed up zooming through the road, a small grin stretching upon his lips. At the end of the road he could see the cloudless, sunny sky that seemed to stretch on forever. His heart pounding moving making the car go faster as the air hits against it hard as if to make it slow down, but there was no chance of that. As they finally came out he began to slow down as a bright sparkle came from the side of the road. It was the vast blue ocean shining brightly as the rays of the sun seem to gently kiss it with every wave it made. He slowed down even more seeing his destination just ahead. He pulled into the almost empty parking lot parking on the very first space. Slowly rolling down the windows as to let the fresh sea breeze to come and tickle his senses. He looked at his Italian lover still sleeping tenderly, "Were here," he whispered placing a gentle kiss on his lovers head.
Honey brown eyes fluttered open as the small breeze tickled his nose. His hair getting caressed in the wind and into his face, he looked over to where his German loverown was supposed to be. He sat up quickly looking at the vacant seat, "Ludwig?" he called out but no answer. He looked out in front of the car and his breath was taken away by the amazing scene in front of him. The vast blue ocean that sparkled, each wave perfect with the early morning air making it all seem like something you would see in a dream. He eyes wondered for a while taking in the amazing beauty when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. He looked behind him to see the trunk of the car opened. "Ludwig?" he called out once more making sure it was his him.
"Ja?" said a familiar voice its sound deep and comforting to the Italian who had a sudden smile on his face upon hearing the familiar voice. Ludwig stood there for moment he was sure he heard Feliciano call his name. "Feliciano are you awake?" he asked moving from behind the back of the car to look at where his Italian lover would be seating. Feliciano sat there smiling as he unbuckled the seat belt to see Ludwig shirtless his muscles clearly shown his impressive body standing there flawlessly. He had on a pair of swim trunks red, black, and yellow that fit him almost too perfectly around his waist and complemented his built body. His deep sea blue eyes sparkling in the sun as Feliciano moved closer closing the door behind him then reaching out to Ludwig pulling him in for a hug. Ludwig slipped his arm around Feli's slender waist pulling him closer to his body where it fit perfectly, and then placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. "Did you have a good nap?" Ludwig asked looking down at the young Italian who wore green, white, and red shorts. His unbuttoned shirt exposing his sleek built chest, which exposed the skin that Ludwig loved oh so very much. Feliciano nodded putting a grin on his face.
Then they began to get out things from the trunk Ludwig grabbing a cooler and a basket while Feliciano grabbed an umbrella and some towels. As they walked down onto the beach in the early morning hours they found a nice spot not too far but not to near the beautiful sparkling ocean. It was probably eight in the morning as small shops along the beach barley began to open up the door preparing for another beautiful day. As Feliciano set the towel and umbrella up he checked his pocket and quickly began panicking. Oh no, he thought, where did I put it? He looked around the area where he had been setting the things up. A sudden panic rising up in his chest he could not just have lost it, where did I put it! Ludwig who had been watching Feliciano the entire time suddenly got worried, what is he looking for? He thought to himself, Ludwig opened up his mouth to offer some help to his clearly confused lover, but then was cut off by him, "I think I left something in the car," Feliciano piped up then before Ludwig could ask what exactly it is. Feli dashed across the sand racing toward the car leaving the German utterly confused. He watched as Feliciano opened the car door open and began looking frantically around it. Feliciano looked and looked he couldn't find it if only he had been more careful with it! "Ve~" he sighed frustrated. Just as he thought he lost the object he lost he reached underneath the seat and felt a box. He pulled it out from underneath the seat and with so much excitement as to finding it he accidently ended up hitting his head against the top of the car. He rubbed the back of his head and made sure the box had not been open knowing Ludwig who can do things almost unnoticed. He slipped the box into a pocket of his trunks and walked over to his lover sitting on the beach now applying sunscreen to himself.
Feliciano snuck behind the German man who was completely oblivious to his lurking lover, Feliciano covered his eyes gently with his hand. Ludwig couldn't help but feel a small smile pulling at the side of his lips feeling the soft hand over his eyes then the soft kiss that landed on his right cheek. This caused a slight blush on his face then the hands started slowly to move down from his eyes to the bottom of his face turning it. He opened his eyes gently to be met with a pair of honey brown eyes that smiled all lovingly at him. Then the German lips met by a pair of soft sweet Italian lips as the hand moved from the face to his neck gently brushing his fingers through his blond hair. The kiss was deepened as Ludwig grabbed his partner by his slender waist. A smile could be felt in the kiss as the Feliciano pulled away kissing Ludwig's cheeks. Then he reached into his pocket pulling out the neatly wrapped box and putting it between them. Ludwig stared at it for a moment confused then he realized it was a present for him. He took the box from Feliciano the slight blush reappearing a lit darker this time. He removed his arms form Feliciano's waist opening the tightly wrapped gift slowly revealing a black box. He looked at Feliciano who had a wide grin on his face; Ludwig opened it to see a beautiful hand crafted white watch he had seen so many months ago. He turned to his lover no longer hiding the huge blush, "Buon anniver-" Feliciano was cut off by a deep breathtaking kiss.
"Danke," was all Ludwig said pulling away from the heated kiss. He smiled warmly at Feliciano who just got the sunscreen and began to rub it onto Ludwig who loved the feel of soft hands all over him.
Feliciano forgot completely what he was about to say until sometime later as they played in the water. The beach was now full of tourist small kids running everywhere and the beach that was empty just an hour ago was getting filled up quickly. He yawned remembering he had woken up at three in the morning today for this special trip. It certainly was since today marked their five year anniversary, five years of laughter, smiles, a few bumps in the road, and love. As Feliciano splashed water at Ludwig he couldn't help but notice that Ludwig had not once said happy anniversary. Although he had tried to say it earlier he was cut off by an, oh so good kiss. "Hey Ludwig," he said as Ludwig smiled at him splashing water but having his attention on his Italian lover. "Why did we come here today?" he asked cheerfully. He looked at Ludwig who smiled seemed to have dimmed a little.
"Well we haven't spent much time together lately. So I though a nice trip out would be a good way to spend it with you." He said bluntly then looked out into the ocean with his eyes that were the same color.
Did he hear him right? Feliciano hid his hurt by turning away from his lover and looked out into the ocean as well. Then he turned to confront him about it, but when he looked he was gone. He looked around when he felt his foot being tugged from underneath him and then he slipped underneath the water. His eyes wide open when a looming body went over his pressing down a pair of German lips onto his, then he felt his eyes closing as he played with the floating blond hair underneath the water. Unknowing to them a pair of curious eyes were watching them through a mask. The small girl giggling as she rose for air went over to her mother and father who sat on a beach towel.
Feliciano could feel Ludwig tongue lick his bottom lip. He opened his mouth as their tongues began to fight for dominance. The heat of the underwater kiss began to take its toll as both of their lungs screeched for air but neither wanting to part the beautiful game their tongues played. Finally Ludwig got off his Italian lover his lungs screaming for air that he could no longer take, he went up for air followed by Feliciano. They both gasped inhaling deeply the fresh sea air. They walked hand and hand back onto the now over crowded beach. It was about lunch time when they started to pick up their things and headed back to the car. Getting glances as they passed by a group of ladies and some young girls but both men paid no attention to any of them. Feliciano could feel all the eyes on the two men and began to get nervous as some started to walk their way. Ludwig saw the same thing slamming the trunk and then going over to Feliciano who had just opened the car door. Holding him by his slender waist Ludwig then planted a more than passionate kiss on his little Italian. Feliciano blushing madly smiled at Ludwig as the women began to walk off murmuring underneath their breath.
As Feliciano lay in the car lazily staring out the window as they left the beautiful beach scene behind them. Then it occurred to him the words Ludwig had said back at the beach. The Italian began to nibble on his bottom lip Ludwig would never forget…right? He never forgot things like this…so why would he forget today? Feliciano glanced nervously over to Ludwig who had his eyes set on the road. He looked back out the window still pondering in his mind. Ludwig always being very observant took a hand-off the steering wheel and grabbed Feliciano's who had it between them squeezing it gently. Unknowing to Ludwig that just brought more confusion to Feliciano as he placed a very realistic smile on his face. Ludwig would never forget out five year anniversary…right?
He felt the car park and was jolted awake they found themselves in front of a restaurant. Ludwig looked confused at Feliciano who had once again fallen asleep he smiled sheepishly at Ludwig who only kissed him on his cheek. They got out of the car into the afternoon air that carried another gently breeze. They both walked to the front of the car joining hands as they walked inside of the restaurant. Ludwig smiled to the man who only smiled back and led them to a table that was near a window. The window had a perfect view of the ocean as the restaurant smelled of Italian cooking. Feliciano once again was amazed at the view but his mouth filled with saliva at the smell of fresh pasta. Then without even ordering the waiter brought out two plates full of pasta setting one down in front of each of them. The smell reaching Feliciano's nose and making his mouth water even more he wondered if it tasted just as good as it looked and smelled. A basket full of bread was placed in front of them along with two glasses that were filled with a liquid that smelled of lemonade. A wide grin went on his face as he picked up his fork and with saying a simple Grazie he began to eat along with Ludwig. The two ate in silence at first then began to exchange a few words here and there usually talking about work and they missed seeing each other. Feliciano was sure that Ludwig had not forgotten it and mentally yelled at himself for ever doubting the love of his life. They smiled and ate the rest of their meal then made their way back to the car. Even after they reached the car and Feliciano had squeezed Ludwig's hand there was still no mention of a happy anniversary.
Now it was late and the couple had been on the road since two in the afternoon taking short stops here and there. They reached a hotel in which they were to stay the night. Feliciano suddenly began to feel weary the entire time they had been on this trip not once had Ludwig mentioned the special day. On several occasions including the beach he had trying saying it but was always cut off by a kiss or a sudden action. He even noticed Ludwig checking his phone ever so often and smiling down at it, not once had he questioned this action but now it bugged him. He got out of the car following his lover to the front of the very nice hotel. Maybe this is it! Feliciano thought to himself. The man gave a room key to them after Ludwig said who they were. The two of them walked hand in hand to the room carrying what luggage they had. As Ludwig stepped in front of the room he held his breath preparing to see a very romantic scene lay out in front of him. But as Ludwig opened the door it was just a plain room with one bed and a bathroom.
Feliciano could feel the tears coming into his eyes as he went into the restroom. He did forget! How could this be….why would he forget? He muffled his soft cries with a towel he had found neatly placed on the countertop. He could feel the tears wet the dry towel as he tried to sniffle quietly pushing the tears back. A knock came on the door, "Feliciano are you ok?" Ludwig said gently. He couldn't hear anything with his body pressed up against the door. Ludwig's face expressionless as he desperately tried to hear even a single shift in movement coming from the very quiet room.
Feliciano breathed in gently taking, "Ve~ I'm all right," he said in his usual cheery voice as he turned on the water pretending to wash his hands. He could hear a small grunt coming from the other side of the door then footsteps being taking back and then into the room. He opened the door slowly seeing Ludwig unpacking some things, "I-I think I left my phone in the c-car," he said gently not looking at Ludwig in the face who only looked at him with curiosity. It was not unusual for Feliciano to forget things like that so Ludwig thought nothing of it as he picked up his phone and began to text something then sending it off. Feliciano watched the whole action, "I'm going to go get it," he said the quickly slipped out of the room. Tears streaming down the Italians cheeks and onto the floor like a raindrop coming down hard from the sky with each step he took.
Ludwig made sure Feliciano was nowhere in sight. Now it was time to put his plan into action, just after Feliciano had left a knock on the door had come. A man from the counter was standing there with a cart. On the cart was a bucket full of ice with wine inside of it and in front of that was a small white box. He thanked the man and brang the cart inside. He sighed now getting nervous, he knew all along it was their five year anniversary and began to get butterflies knowing what might happen tonight would change the rest of their lives.
In the car Feliciano sat there tears streaming down freely not stopping. He began to yell at himself thinking this was all just a joke, of course Ludwig would never forget something so important. Then the images of him smiling down at his phone began to pop in his head. Ludwig is cheating… Feliciano mentally slapped himself for even thinking such a stupid idea. But he way he smiled at his phone even when he thought he wasn't looking had hurt him so much. He ran out of the car needing to stop this silly nonsense. He ran back to the hotel room almost crashing into some people. He opened the door to see the cart in the middle of the room and a shocked Ludwig. None of that matter he ran into his arms tears streaming down as hard as a waterfall. Ludwig stood there astonished to say the least. "Ludwig!" Feliciano said his arms around the Germans neck holding tightly. "Ludwig please don't leave me…per favore…d-don't leave me," he said.
Ludwig wrapped his arms around his waist and sighed, "What are you going on about now?" he said as calmly as he could.
The sobs died down a little but the grip stayed the same. "Y-you're d-don't lo-love me anymore," he said.
Ludwig stood there baffled, "Wha- W-who gave you that i-idea?" he said shocked his grip that had been loosely been on Feliciano now tightened.
"Do y-you remember what t-today is?" he asked quietly afraid to hear the answer.
Ludwig sighed, "Of course I do," he said. "Today is our five year anniversary." He said bluntly.
Feliciano pulled away a little, "Y-you remembered…" he said a smile gracing his face.
Ludwig rubbed the back of his neck his face going a little red as his heart skipped a beat from seeing the Italians smile. "Ja, I um…," Feliciano tilted his head looking at Ludwig through the tears wondering what was going on. "He let go of Feliciano pulling out a white box from his coat pocket. He then proceeded to go down on one knee. His face still red and opened the box to reveal a beautiful princess cut diamond. "W-will you m-marry me?" The German said his face still red not looking up. He felt a pair of arms go around his neck pushing him down as a pair of honey sweet lips landed on his.
"Ve~ I do!" Feliciano said going in for another kiss. Their tongues playing the sweet game they love too. They separated for air when Ludwig slipped the ring out of the box and placed it onto Feliciano's left hand. With their foreheads touching they looked into each other's eyes as Ludwig picked up Feliciano bridal style and slowly made his way to the bed.
