GerIta ; My Type Of Luck, Is No Luck

Placement

  Feli's P.O.V

  My heart was pounding so ferociously that I thought it would thump it's way out of my chest, burning my ribcage along the way. It was a distant Sunday, one far from the role placements. Ludwig and I were driving to the beach. That's right, Ludwig is driving without a chaperone. He's off his rich, lazy, ass.

  Lately, he'll slip and show small displays of affection in public. His friends are shocked to say the least but those closest to him have thanked me. Gilbert even said that I opened the heavans to Ludwig, I gave him love and life to his boring, paperwork of a reality. Often, when it's just me and him, I'll find us to be cuddling or talking about the future. His hand may come to rest on the small of my back when I'm nervous, in fact, he does it only because I'm nervous.

   At this point, I can read him like my favorite novel. He can decode me better than I can myself. He knows all of my emotions, suppressed or open. Its comforting to finally have another person to hold, to love, to confront in. Nothing would make me happier than simply knowing Ludwig but loving him? Well, that's a dream come true all on it's own.

   "So darling, are you sure it should be here?" Asked a curious Ludwig, his loose right thumb rubbing comfortingly over my knuckles. His presence was enough to calm me and little actions such as this one sent me through the roof.

   "Yes honey, it'll be perfect, trust me on this one," emphasizing the word honey, I gain a light chuckle from my fiancé. I boast in prideful joy but shield it from his line of sight. He'd tease me about it, no doubt, if he saw it.

   When the silence remained longer than 4 seconds, finally becoming awkward, I glance over at my companion. A perfect eyebrow was suggestively raised towards me, causing me to blush and look on forward.

  "Honey, huh?"

   "Yeah..."

   "That's sweet, but not as sweet as you," HOW DARE HE. HOW DARE HE MAKE MY HEART LEAP FOR JOY WITH A SINGLE PHRASE. YOU BEAUTIFUL THING YOU.

   "I think you're wrong, you're clearly the sweeter one by my opinion, honey's got nothing on you," I replied proudly and lovingly, my tone just above teasing.

   Now, Ludwig has the palest of skin tones. That's just a fact. When he blushes, its like a tomato has exploded all over his cheeks. It's adorable and I love it when I can gain one from him.

   "He-"

   "Here! Right here! Turn into that gap and park on the last patch of grass, don't want the sand to swallow our only means of transportation up," I interrupt, my eyes widening as we approached the entrance. Parking the car, Ludwig stepped out, keys in hand and we regrouped at the hood. I took his hand within my own and pulled him along with me.

  Together, we trudged through the wide opening in the cliff. Obsidian, rough, rocks surrounding us on all walls. It was clearly natural processes at work, no sign of human destruction for miles on end. The sand underneath my feet, slipped into my shoes. It was quiet annoying. Pausing in the middle of the walk, I bend down and unlace my shoes. Peeling my socks off, I slip the pair into one of the shoes and hold them besides me as I stood back up.

  "Wait, let me take my shoes off too, I thought I could put it off but it's annoying and your idea isn't bad," Ludwig stopped me, slipping out of his shoes and socks. He grabbed my shoes and held them for me, gentling smiling down at me. Grinning back, I wrap my fingers around his own and continue to lead him the rest of the way.

   "Just so you know, I've never been down this way before and I don't know where the heck I'm going."

   "Wait WHAT?!?"

   "When Ivan and Yao were driving me back, I saw this beach. It was clean, untouched. I felt in love with the scenery. Its pure and unexpected much like our relationship."

  "Is that how you view it? Pure and unexpected?"

   "I wouldn't have said it if I hadn't meant it... What do you think of us?"

   "I don't think of us, rather... I think of you. You're the world to me, even if I don't show it as much as I should. You're heaven, you're the definition of love, you're the happiness I feel from within, you're my dream come true, and you're my life's meaning, that's what you are to me Feliciano."

   My grip on his hand tightened. Ludwig's words touched me deeply. I knew he loved me but he just didn't say it as much. Increasing my pace, I pulled him farther down the trail with me until the walls surrounding us were no more and a beautiful scenery stood before us.

  I exhaled all the air I'd been holding unconsciously and looked over to find Ludwig in the same state of shock. His jaw was hanging wide open, his eyes sparkled in amazement, and he too was holding his breath.

  The beach was something from a fairy tale with magnificent definition. The sand glowed like gold, shimmering in the sunlight. Not far from the shore were pillars of obsidian rocks piled sky high, the ridges branching off into different directions. Off to the right, sand pools thriving with sea life appeared visibly noticeable, sea horses and starfishes living happily in the tiny ecosystem.

  As for the ocean? The sea sparkled. The salt water was a clear green, not blue, emerald. It shone like an actual stone who's beauty could not be foretold. The waves crashed softly into the sand, much more violently off in the sunset. The sun reflected off of everything, giving birth to life and allowing it to thrive in it's full glory.

   "This... This is wonderful. You're right Feli, this is it. This is the place. This is where we'll get married!"
