I didn't think it was necessary to tell my family about the little (huge) exchange going on between Ludwig and I. So that night at midnight we left for Germany's house.

"Um, Aidon?"

"Yes?" I looked at him a little annoyed that we had to leave at midnight, when I could be sleeping.

"Are you always this grumpy?" He asked in a voice that sounded laced with worry masked by humor.

"Only when I'm being kidnapped." I remarked smugly. He laughed at that comment and walked me to his car which was parked a block away from my house so that the engine would't awake my parents.

"Vatch your head, Aidon. I vouldn't vant you decapitated before I got to make you my sveetheart." He joked as he held my door open for me.

'What a cute man.' I thought.

We drove until we found a private airport. Which I assumed was his. "You can afford an airport, but I can't have my own bed?" I questioned.

"Actually, ja. I just vant to share a bed vith you. If that's alright." The comment was meant to ask for my permission, at least that's what I got out of it.

"I don't mind sharing, sleeping alone can get well, um, lonely." I stuttered. Why am I stuttering? I just met this guy. 'Yeah, but this guy wants to marry you.' Shut up voice. The voice's name is Steve. Don't know why, just is.

"Oh, ok." He still looked worried but slightly less than before.

The house was huge. The floors were marble, and their was a large chandelier hanging in the foyer. To say that it was anything less than extraordinary would've been a lie. "T-this is y-your home?" I stuttered almost silently, trying to take it all in.

"Our home." He corrected. I let those words sink in. I liked them. Maybe a little too much, but who's to say? They sounded pretty frickin' nice.

The sudden wave of jet lag hit me and I was exhausted from our night's endeavor. "Where is our bedroom?"

"Zhis vay." He said and headed up the grand staircase. I followed him to a room with a red and silver theme. The sheets, curtains, and lamps were red, while the blanket, pillows, and carpet were silver. The one decoration to adorn the room was a large photograph of Ludwig and some albino with a creepy yellow bird.

"Who's that in the picture?" I wondered aloud.

"Zhat is mein bruder, Gilbert. Zhe little bird is Gilbird." I nodded in acknowledgment and mouthed a silent 'oh.'

I walked over to the bed and plopped down, noting that it was a water bed. "A water bed?" I giggled. He blushed.

"It, um helps me sleep." He mumbled almost incoherently. I sat up and pulled a nightgown from my suitcase. It was a simple white gown that I may our may not have grabbed because it was see-through. Luddy's blush grew darker as he eyed the garment carefully realizing what it was. "Um, are you going to vear zhat?"

"Yep." I smiled evilly.

"Oh, ok zhen." With that, I walked into the ajoining bathroom and got changed. When I walked out, he was standing there in his boxers, which were printed in black, red, and yellow. We took a moment to gawk at eachother before promptly turning off the light and climbing into bed. Since I was still unfamiliar with the room, I bumped into almost everything in there before making it to my side of the bed. Thankfully, I reached the bed in one piece and crawled under the covers, only to find it a tad small for two people.

I tried laying on my side with my back facing Ludwig, but I could feel something rubbing against the bottom hem of my dress. I stiffened at the movement and whimpered silently. "Luddy, is that you?"

I felt the tickle of his breath on the back of my neck as he spoke. "Sorry, my hand fell from my side. It's a little awkward to sleep like zhis."

"Oh, well that's ok. Here-" I grabbed his hand and placed it so that it was clinging to my waist. He pulled me closer to him, and I could both feel and hear him inhale deeply.

"You smell amazing." He whispered into my ear. I blushed, and we fell asleep like that.

~Hallo. Please let me know what you think, pretty please. *bats eyebrows* I know you guys really want to make me proud, so vote, comment, and fan!
