"Hey Ludwig," you began as you sipped your shake. Ludwig turned to face you as he read a thick novel, his glasses resting nicely on the bridge of his nose, "ja, vhat is it?" You scooted closer to him, leaning in to see what he was reading, "what cha readin'?" Ludwig sighed then closed the book, "nozhing. And vhat did du really vant to ask." Dang. This guy was good. Laughing you scoot back to your original spot on the wood bench, "ok ok, you caught me. What I really wanted to ask was..." There was a dramatic pause as you stared seriously into Ludwig's sky blue eyes. "Do you... Like anyone," a grin found its way onto your lips.

Ludwig's cheeks gained a light dusting of pink before he spoke, "V-VHAT!?" You chuckle then point your finger at him, "I mean, there's a butt load of cute girls around this school! You have to have fallen for one of them by now!! It's been a whole month and a half since you transferred to this school, you got to have someone!" Ludwig blinked several times before arching his eyebrow, "like du said, it has only been a month und a half. I still need time to develop any 'feelings' for anyone."

Pouting, you furrow your brows and shake your head, "NOPE!! I will NOT accept that answer from you, sir! You had enough time to grow a crush!! Now tell me!" Sitting up straight you start to count with your fingers, "ok, so there's Elizabeta, Natalia, Bella, Katyusha, and... Uuuuh OH! And Lili, if you like them young~" you joked as you chuckled again at seeing Ludwig's expression. Before he could say something, you remembered something, "OH! Almost forgot one more person! And there's also me, but who would ever have a crush on me anyway~ I ain't pretty."

"YES YOU ARE!"

There was an awkward silence after hearing what Ludwig said. You stared at him in shock for a second before laughing, "come on dude! You don't have to lie like that~ it doesn't suit you." Ludwig's cheeks became a bit redder from his outburst a second ago. Putting your hand on your chin you think, 'who could he like... Maybe it's-' Gasping you lean back in a dramatic way before speaking. "Or maybe..." leaning closer to his ear you whisper, "are you not into girls, and you actually swing the other way?" Ludwig's face was red with embarrassment and a bit of rage at your statement, "V-VHAT!? OF COURSE I LIKE G-GIRLS!!" You burst out into a fit of laughter at him.

Holding your stomach you try to control your laughing, succeeding a few seconds later. Taking a deep breath you wipe away an invisible tear then grin at him, "that was HILARIOUS!!! You should have seen your face!!! Priceless~" Ludwig frowned then stood up, "I need to get back home to help bruder vith dinner." Frowning you whine, "awwww! Don't go! I was just joking!" Ludwig continued to blush as he started to walk away, "gute nacht ________." Dramatically reaching out to him you cry in an overly dramatic voice, "please come back! I love you darling~" Of course you only meant that as a little joke, but a part in you actually meant it.

Ludwig stopped dead in his tracks and glanced back at you, "v-vhat..." You smirked for a second before getting an idea. Continuing your dramatic state you spoke, "I love you Ludwig, I can't live without you. Please come back to me." Ludwig's cheeks became a light shade of red. His grip on his book tightened. You were having fun with this. Putting your hand over your mouth you pretend to be embarrassed. "O-Oh no! I am so sorry Ludwig! I... I didn't want you to know... I just.. I," you paused for dramatic affect then quickly stood up, "I-I have to go..." Pretending to cry you began to run in the opposite direction of Ludwig. Gott you were having fun with this dramatic scene thing.

Suddenly you felt Ludwig's hand grab yours. Spinning around you find your eyes locked with his, his face almost completely red, "_______, wait." You had such a HUGE urge to break out into a laughing fit! Oh how much you so did want to laugh, but this drama thing was too epic to drop right now. His grip on your hand tightened as he took a deep breath. "__-______... P-Please don't... Don't run," Ludwig's eyes kept staring at anything that wasn't into your eyes. What was with him? Can't he tell that you're just acting? "Hey Luddy, I'm just-"
