*Time skip around 3 months*
Feliciano hadn't even begun to think this could happen. He Had went back to that bar a few times, well maybe not a few. A few was way too infrequent for what was going on. Just to see those icey blue eyes that could calm down any small fire he felt. The first time he went back it was pretty much the same experience as the first time. Mindless chatter about nothing. An excuse to hear the other speak if anything. But the last few times had been....Very different. Hell, it was a change in demeanor for both of them he never saw coming. It wasn't a good one, nothing they could use to contribute to society. Though who were they harming?
Feliciano confidently walked in the building. Of course without hs brother. The neon lights he'd gotten used to no long being an eyestrain. He felt the anticipation rise as he looked around. The Club was packed Like Every Friday night, making it hard to see much of anything. He walked over to the dancefloor still nervously scanning the room. Feeling someones arms wrap around him.
"Hello Feli..." Ludwig stood behind him, pulling him back a little bit to be pressed close against him chest. Feliciano could smell the scent of his perfume, it causing him to automatically relax. His brain seemed to have noted that smell as a memory, when he smelt that he was happy.
Feliciano chuckled, whipping around to look back at him. "Hey!" He said excitedly, wrapping his arms around the back of his neck. "I thought you were a creep for a second!" He tilted his head, cheerful.
The german just pulled him closer. He'd opened up a hell of a lot more since the first time they'd met. But he still had secrets, topics Feliciano would see brushed off no matter how simple. It was weird but so were they. It didn't bother Feliciano much since their talks weren't as stupid anymore. They had deep talks, they had said things to eachother about life that would probably make them outcasted. Ludwig pulled Feliciano to the coach the always sat at, pulling him on his lap. Not a new development, always Welcome. "How was work today? Suprised you came, you look exhausted."
Feliciano couldn't help but take a deep breath. Trying to soak in as much of the atmosphere as he'd been craving. "It was the same as always. Besides You know I never ditch on you." He watched as the other put a hand on his upper back to support the his body. Leaning him a bit so he could reach his drink. Feliciano frowning a bit seeing the already 3 empty glasses.
"Hm. Well you know I wake you up." He smirked, propping his elbow up on the couches armrest. Leaning his head back tipping the alcohol down his throat. The sting of it not even seeming to exist for him. His eyes becoming half lidded as he looked at the other.
Feliciano just put a hand on his chest, paying attention to the texture of his shirt. "That is when you get your second wind after that Vodka there." He took the others glass, finishing it off. "Sharing is caring." He tapped the glass with one of his nails. Then the cup back down holding onto the others shoulder.
Ludwig didn't mind, adjusting the others legs do be even more on the couch like a a W shape.
Ludwig stared off to onto the dance floor seeming to cringe. "Feli, I dont think im going to dance tonight. Today was pretty brutal." He looked at him somewhat apologetically, staring at the Emerald green eyeshadow around the Italians eyes. Men in makeup, a weird concept to him since he was a product of his time. It seemed to suit Feli though. Besides he loved watching the pigment on his eyelids get smudged throughout the night. The other as much as he looked queer, could use looking a little more uneven.
Feliciano let his mouth fall open, a hand moving to his own chest. "You, not wanting to dance? Holy fuck ve- is the sky falling?" He joked loudly over the music, stroking the others face affectionately. Loving how normal this had become. The blonde rolled his eyes, not even knowing what to say back to that. Them just contently letting the music blast in their ears.
"How have you been on taking care of yourself?" Ludwig decided to ask after a few seconds of pandering saying it. He was alot of things but he sure wasn't stupid. Even when he was a few drinks in he could tell Feliciano was shaky. flinching at the most unnecessary times. It was like the other was always on edge about something.
Feliciano just let out a "pffft." Looking away from him. He never expected it whenever the other asked that. "Well my paycheck just came...' He shrugged, looking at the bar watching the people stir.
Ludwig laughed. It wasn't funny, though it was hilariously pitiful. How on earth was him getting payed taking care of himself? In these few months him and the italian had warmed up to eachother, it wasn't hard to tell he was just as fucked as he was. "You do anything you enjoy? How about gardening? You mentioned you like that."
Feliciano frowned. He wished he did still garden. It was alot of energy. He didn't have much of that to spare anymore. "No..." He sadly looked back at him, neon purple highlighting his face.
That honestly made the mood drop for a second. Ludwig really not liking the fact the other said no. And he knew he wasn't bluffing, maybe if he pressed him he'd say he enjoyed something...but when was Feliciano ever bringing up something fun he did without being practically interrogated? He thought for a bit. Now that he thought about it, he didn't like how light the other felt on his lap. He wasn't the best at taking care of himself but still...
Feliciano looked at the bar again, feeling like he could use a drink. Maybe a strawberry rum, maybe a caribou lou? He wasn't sure. "How about i go get us-"
"Do you want me to take care of you?" Ludwig interrupted, causing the redhead to look back at him eyes slightly wide. Ludwig looked confident, though debating how he put that.
"What?"
"Do you want to get in my car, go to my place, and let me take care of you?"
Feliciano felt like time stopped, his heart pounding a bit. That type of feeling you'd get having your first kiss. A mix of joy and suprise that decided to harass him. His mouth opening but no words coming out. "I uhm-"
Ludwigs face fell, him clearing his throat. He knew it. He knew the other would say no. Shit.
"Okay...." Feliciano got off him. Wondering if the other realized what he offered. Maybe he was just a little Drunk? But thing was, Ludwig was barely tipsy. He knew how to hold his liquor and certainly wasn't a lightweight.
Ludwig sighed in relief. So glad that didnt blow over on him. He then stood up, wrapping an arm around him. "Lets get out of here hm?"
Yall- I'm sorry I was inactive. I had pretty bad writers block. Also if theres typos I'm trying my best but I lost my glasses :( I cant see very well without them so proofreading is more difficult.
