Into The Mirror

The Bed and Breakfast

"Luddyyy-" the small Italian whined and jostled Ludwig's arm, rubbing a tired eye as he looked up from the Austrian sign that simply read 'Geschlossen' or 'Closed' as it's said in English, "You said the hotel would still be open..."

The German stared down at Feliciano, "Eh... I didn't think it'd take you that long to order icecream."

"Y- you know I'm indecisive!" Feli whined a bit, "I'm so tired dangit-"

"Oh- so it's my fault you can't choose between cookie dough and birthday cake?"

"I- I never said that!"

Kiku glanced up from his game, looking around for a moment before his eyes rested on an open storefront with a sign above that said, "Übernachtung mit Frühstück; English Menus Offered". The small Japanese man looked towards his allies who were now arguing about which icecream flavor is better. Kiku tugged on Feliciano's shirt and huffed, "Italy-kun"

"K- Kiku tell Ludwig that mint chocolate chip is better than boring ol' chocolate!"

"A- ah uhm-"

"Feli this is not important... but chocolate icecream is classic and you're wrong." Ludwig huffed, "Lets just go to a different hotel and order some icecream, I'll prove you wrong-"

"UGH- Y- you're on!"

Kiku mumbled, "A- actually there's an inn right over th-"

"There's a bed and breakfast, lets go there." Ludwig spoke up, crossing his arms.

"Oh-" Feliciano looked over, "Finally! We can sleepppp-" the exhausted Italian ran over to the inn, quickly followed by Ludwig and Kiku.

When Feli entered he saw the interior of a quaint restaurant with a sign in book at the counter. A small bell rested on it's glass surface next to the book.

Ludwig glanced around as he entered, "Huh... empty..."

"Well we did stay out real late, we're lucky a place like this is open..." Kiku yawned and rubbed his eyes, walking up to the counter and ringing the bell.

"Just a moment please!~" a cheery voice came from the back room, a slight mischievous tone lacing the male voice.

Feliciano tilted his head and tried to peek into the back room, only to be knocked back a bit by a figure coming through the door with a box.

"Oh! Terribly sorry, I didn't see you there." The figure chuckled, "Are you three looking for a room?" He set down the box behind the counter and looked to Feli, then Kiku, then Ludwig.

Ludwig blinked, "Ah- ja- if it's not too much trouble..." he stares.

"Perfect!" The man moved his orange hair out of his face and adjusted his glasses, opening the sign in book and taking out a feathered pen, "My name's Roland by the way~ may I ask for your names for the record?"

Ludwig nodded, "Mine's Ludwig... this is Kiku and Feliciano..."

Feliciano giggled while looking Roland over, his long red coat seemed to match his sharp teeth and red eyes perfectly, "I like your coat!" He rocks on his heels, much like a child would.

Roland chuckled softly, "Why thank you~" he looks back to Ludwig once more, "How many nights are you staying?"

Ludwig thought for a moment, looking around to see if he'd want to stay here more than the one night, "Ah well..."

"Three nights!" Feli chimed in, clinging to Ludwig's arm as if he forgot they were fighting before, "then we're heading back home!"

Kiku nodded a bit, hugging his cat backpack.

Roland hummed, writing their names in the book before closing it, "that'll be just 90 euros."

Ludwig handed over the money in exchange for the key, a bit uneasy now that he knows he's staying here for three whole nights, "Ah... thank you...."

"Enjoy your stay!" Roland leaned over the counter happily.

"We willllll!" Feli took the key and quickly ran up the stairs, followed by Kiku and Ludwig.

Ludwig huffed, "Ah- be careful Feli-"

Roland hummed and watched them go, a smirk spreading across his face, "Be careful indeed."
