White Flag

Sleep

After Feli had gotten over the whole hare ordeal, he had caught two scrawny mice. The grass had proved a decent fire starter, for the padded down circle where Feliciano sat eating had a strongly flickering fire in the middle. The mice were skinned very poorly, so he had to pause every few seconds to pick off the scraps of fur from his teeth.
The moment he finished, he extinguished the fire and began walking again. Night had fallen. The stars were shining as bright as they did the night before. Feliciano was left to wonder if Ludwig would come again. Maybe. All he could do was hope.
He walked all night, knife in hand. Feli tripped a lot, roots were everywhere. Ludwig didn't show. The sun rose. Feliciano's eyes were baggy and his steps became stumbles. His breath slowed and once he fell flat on his face.
     "Ghhhgh," he rose off the ground. He had to keep moving. Nothing must stop him. "Move, move, move." At this point, all his brain could comprehend was simple commands. "Keep moving, Feli. You can do it, Feli. Keep moving, Feli."
    At noon the fatigue became too much to bear. Sleep was the only option.
   Falling over once more, the boy closed his eyes and welcomed the sweet warmth of sleep.

  
   Feliciano was running. Stars were all around him. He looked down. Below him stood trillions more stars. There seemed to be no ground. He didn't exactly know what he was running from. He just had this sickening feeling in his gut that he had to run. The kind of feeling that makes you tighten your jaw and try not to vomit.
    "Feliciano!" A deep voice sounded from behind Feli. "Feli!"
     He let out a deep breath. Was that who he thought it was? Feliciano whirled around and saw Ludwig with a smile as wide as the sun a few feet away. "Ludwig!" He began to run again, only this time towards his best friend. [[A/N: HAHAHAH NOPE HES COMPLETLEY GAY. BUT I JUST DIDNT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PUT THERE LIKE???HOMOSEXUAL LOVER??????GAY POTATO FRIEND?????]]
     But the strange thing was...no matter how fast or hard he ran, Ludwig was always the same distance away. Ludwig laughed.
     He was still laughing as his torso was stabbed by a mysterious figure behind him. Feliciano covered his mouth, but still screamed. "It's going to be alright, Feli. Please don't worry about me. Please, Feli, promise me."
    "And stop running, okay? I'll see you soon, Feli."
     He was suddenly very close to the blonde. If Ludwig wasn't dead, perhaps Feliciano could feel his breath blow against his forehead. Blood was dripping out of his chest, spilling onto the sobbing Feliciano. His breath came out in hics and jumps. "I'll see you soon."
     And with that, Feliciano's love faded away back into the stars.
