The Clock Strikes Midnight (part 1 )

Lil AU for this one. Prussia died earlier on in this first loop ;>; 

-----------------

Feliciano ran though that maze of a basement for what felt like forever, having no idea where he was going. His only thought was to find Ludwig, as he was the only one left, and Feliciano didn't want to get out alone, or leave this place without finding Ludwig. All sorts of thoughts raced through his head as he tried to navigate around the stone walled maze. What if Ludwig abandoned him, what if Ludwig died, what if they had both gotten lost, what if he died before getting to Ludwig, and before he got to say two very special words to him. 

His thoughts were racing and non stop... That was until he came into a somewhat familiar square room, only difference was, Ludwig was sitting by the wall near the door, blood running down his face, as blood dripped out of his mouth, he looked like he was in a lot of pain. Feliciano's stomach sunk, and he felt a wave of absolute dread overcome him. Without thought, he ran over to Ludwig, and fell down next to him, as tears already came pouring out, as the small Italian franticly checked Ludwig, scared that if he would die.

"L-Ludwig!! A-Are you alright!? Who hurt you!? Are you dying!? C-Can I he-" But he was quickly cut off by Ludwig interrupting him.

"Nein, I-I am fine, do not worry yourself."

"B-But you're bleeding! That's bad!" Feliciano looked desperately at Ludwig, wanting to do anything to help his friend.

"I promise you it's fine, I just-" Ludwig was interrupted by having a short coughing fit, as more blood was coughed up. "Just need some rest."

"Doitsu... Are... Are you..." Feliciano didn't want to think about it, he couldn't. He didn't want Ludwig to leave him, like everyone else, he didn't want to be alone again.

Ludwig sighed, but he wasn't surprised, he knew Feliciano was smart and would figure it out, "Unfortunately, yes. I am dying."

Those words shattered Feliciano's world. He wouldn't get to see a time where he confessed his love for Ludwig, where he got to kiss him, where he got to hold him, care for him, or even grow 'old' with him. He would never get to see any of that anymore. Ludwig was dying, and there was nothing he could do but watch. He had been useless right from the beginning, he couldn't fight, he was being protected by everyone, and he just ran away all of the time. He couldn't save everyone, not even Ludwig, and now he'd have to leave this mansion on his own. All alone again, yet this time, there was no one to comfort him or to let him cry on their shoulder, he had himself and himself only. Forever.

Feliciano snapped back into reality, and stared at Ludwig, although it was hard to see, as his tears obstructed his vision. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, not even a peep or squeak. 

"Feliciano, you, you should go, it's dangerous, and you need to escape. Escape for all of us."

Feliciano shook his head violently, sobbing harder, "I can't! I don't want to leave you! I don't want to be alone again!" 

Ludwig's heart shattered at that, he had to get Feliciano to escape and to survive, but he knew that Feli was a stubborn man, so it would take some convincing.

Ludwig leaned over just enough so that he could clasp one of Feliciano's hands in his, and looked him straight in the eyes. "Listen to me Feliciano, you need to leave alright, and you won't be alone, we're still here, but in here." Ludwig pointed to Feliciano's heart, and smiled ever so slightly.

Feliciano shook his head again, and continued to sob, but he held onto Ludwig's hand tightly, not letting go. "I... But I can't leave you Luddie... I-..." Feliciano couldn't make the words form, as he just stared at Ludwig, as he just sobbed, unable to control it.
