I'll Meet You In Paradise(Germany x Italy)

I'll Meet You In Paradise

The storm roared outside the hardy wooden doors of the Germanic mansion as the wind rattled against the windows. Ludwig sat inside with his guests of Antonio, Lovino, Gilbert and Elizabeta at the fireplace, reading Italian folktales while petting the head of his dog. Everyone was chatting and laughing as Gilbert reacted his battle against that "boob" Austria. Ludwig was in deep thought staring into the fire as Elizabeta crossed over to him looking concerned. "Ludwig?" She said slowly. "Are you alright? You seem lost." She sat down next to him, folding her hands in her lap. He looked up slightly startled and fake laughed. " Just thinking. I'm alright" He rubbed his eyes while closing the book cover. "Is it about.....him?" She paused and looked down sadly. Italy had been gone for months which had an obvious effect on Ludwig. He froze and turned looking at Elizabeta. "Is it that obvious?" He said sadly. She smiled lovingly and took Ludwig's hand in her own. "He'll come home, one way or another. He'll come home." She squeezed his hand tighter as she stood up.

Gilbert strode over and put his arm around Ludwig's shoulder. "Come on West! Lighten up. You should try and be more awesome like me!" He thrusted his head back and laughed pridefully, Ludwig gave him a small pity laugh before standing up and heading to the kitchen for beer.

He reached into the fridge before sighing and cracking his neck. "Crap..." He mumbled under his breath. He couldn't get the images of Italy out of his head. His sweet smile, soft skin, and delicate moans. He shook his violently and pressed the beer to his forehead. Just as Antonio waltzed through the oak kitchen doors smiling. "I knew Truth or Dare would be fun!" He laughed placing his hands on his cheeks blushing. " A kiss from Lovino! Ahh!" He wriggled to the floor with a sparkling aura. Ludwig narrowed his brows in confusion, tilting his head. Antonio sighed laying flat on the marble floor and smiled. "Hey Ludwig?" He said sitting up. "Everyone is worried about you, come talk with someone." He stood up and stretched a hand out to the tall German. Just as a small scream of anger came loudly from the living room, Antonio laughed again. "SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Shouted Lovino's voice, followed by a hysterical laugh from Gilbert.

Ludwig felt the load on his heart falter slightly. His eyes slowly returning to their beautiful blue before his vision went suddenly blurry. Italy had loved his eyes. The way the calmed him and had such care in them, only meant for the little Italian. It was if the essence of the sea was sculpted into the German's eyes. Letting his little Italy to drown in his love. The memories pouring back made Ludwig stumbled into the table. "Ludwig!" Shouted Antonio, rushing over to him. "Are you oka-" Antonio started as Ludwig cut him off. "I-I can't get him out of my head..." He clutched the sides of his head as his heartbeat quickened. "How did you do it?" He said with a shaking voice. "You love Lovino so much, how did you handle being away from him for every battle?" He gasped and brought his hand to his chest as Antonio sat next to him in shock. "Don't let him out of your head." He said sternly. "The only way I survived without him, was being with him in memory." Ludwig looked up in shock. "Remembering won't hurt you. Not if you remember him in the right way." Antonio smiled and pulled Ludwig to his feet. He dragged him back out to the living room in time to see Elizabeta holding a book with a bruised Gilbert and Lovino at her feet. "I told you two to SHUT UP!" She smacked Gilbert again who was sniggering under his breath into the rug. "Oh....Ludwig.." She froze and smiled awkwardly. Antonio pulled Lovino to his feet and into his lap as he fell backwards onto the couch. Elizabeta sat on the opposite facing couch as Gilbert stood up wiping blood from his cheek and smiling. He sat next to her and put his arm around her smirking. She rolled her eyes and leaned into him sighing. "It's tiring beating the crap out of you." She said with a small yawn. Everyone was tired as Antonio picked up the book Ludwig had been reading earlier. "Say Lovi" He said with a smile "Will you read this for us?" He smiled and tightened his grip around his wait. "Not if I can't breath stupid bastard" Lovino snapped back. Ludwigs slid silently into an armchair and sat back as Lovino began to read.
