You sang to yourself as you cooked some pasta. Your best friend is supposed to visit today so you cooked his favorite food. You turned off the stove top and go to get ready. The phone rings on your way to your room. “Hello?” “Vee~ _______!” You smile to yourself. “Feli! Don’t tell me you’re calling to cancel! I already made some food and I’m already getting ready.” “No, that’s not it at all. I was wondering if I could bring someone with me.” You stop and scrunch your face. Who could he possibly bring? His brother? “Uh, I guess so. Does this person like pasta too?” You mentally face-palm; the pasta was supposed to be a surprise. “Vee you made pasta? You’re the best _____!” You sigh. “Yeah I am; but you didn’t answer my ques-” “Feliociano!” you hear someone yell at your friend on the other side of the phone. “I’m sorry! I have to go now.” He giggles, “Bye~”

You throw the phone on your bed. You were just going to wear jeans and a shirt, but since Feli is bringing someone you decided to dress up a bit. Who knows, he might be cute and single. You smile to yourself and blush a little. You jump in the shower and then slip on a sun dress and tie your hair back in a ponytail. You looked good!

You were waiting for your guests to arrive. They were taking a long time so you turn on the stereo in the living room and start dancing around. You turn it up as loud as you can and the vibrations of the bass take over your body. You pirouette around the room and end in a plié before pirouetting again. You were so lost in dancing until you hit something tall and hard. You look up into steely blue eyes of a reddening face. You pull away from the man “Oh my gosh I’m so sor-” You trip as you back away and the man tried to catch you only to topple on top of you. Your entire face turns red and so does his. “Vee! See? I knew you two would like each other!” The man rolls off of you and the two of you glare at your Italian friend. “I’m so sorry miss, I didn’t mean to uh, bump you?” You stand up and turn off the music.

“It’s alright. I didn’t notice you guys were here so it’s my bad.” You extend your hand and smile. “I’m ______; you must be a friend of Feliciano, yes?” He nods and grabs your hand. “My name is Ludwig. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” “Oh Feli has told me some interesting stories about you.” He blushes a bit and glares at Feliciano. “Oh really?” you nod. “Nothing bad though, he makes you sound really cool and such.” You blush a bit. “Alright you two let’s start eating!” Feli grabs both of your hands and takes you two into the dining room. You serve the pasta and sit down next to Feli. Ludwig groans.

“Oh, Feli you never told me if he liked pasta or not!” You pout and stand up grabbing Ludwig’s plate. “I’m so sorry, if you don’t like pasta I can make you something else.” He grabs the plate back and puts it on the table and shakes his head. “No, it’s fine. It’s just I eat it often. But I’m sure your food will be tasty.” He looks over at Feli who smiles back at him. You sit down again and start to eat. Neither you nor Ludwig talked the entire time. Feliciano kept encouraging you two to talk to each other, but by the time he finished his food he gives up. “I have to use the restroom. You two better be talking by the time I get back!” Feli stands and leaves the room quickly. Ludwig sighs. He looks around and taps his fingers on the table almost nervously. He then picks up his fork, twirls some pasta, brings it up, drops it, and repeats the process.

It was so freaking awkward. “If you don’t like the pasta I can really go make you something else. It’s not a big deal.” You offer trying to break the silence and find an excuse to leave the room. He finally scoops the food into his mouth and shakes his head. “No, it’s alright.” It was quiet again. You lean on the table and stare off a bit. You hear him sigh again. “He sure is taking his time in the bathroom.” You look at him and nod. “Yeah, I just hope he didn’t break my toilet or my sink or even worse, my shower.” You giggle a bit at the image of Feliciano freaking out as water squirts in his face from a broken pipe. “If he does end up breaking something, I…” he pulls something out of his pocket and blushes a bit. “I am very good with my hands, if you know what I mean.” His words were choppy and uncertain as if he were reading off of something. He looks back up at you and you blush. “I mean with tools of course…” Things just got more awkward.

You pull your hair out of a ponytail and start to play with it. “You look very beautiful in that dress my lady, I’m sure what’s under it is even better.” You look back at him in shock. You stand up “Er wait, no. I didn’t mean to say that. I meant to say it makes your eyes stand out.” He huffs out a big frustrated sigh and puts his hand in a fist. He slams both of his fists on the table and stands up. “This is stupid. I’m leaving.” He stands up and a piece of paper flutters out of his pocket. Feliciano enters the room. “Vee Ludwig? What’s wrong?” He grabs Feli’s shoulder and reaches into his pocket. “You think it’s funny to embarrass me like this?” He lets go of him when he realizes he can’t find what he was looking for. He looks up at you and notices the paper in your hand.

“Don’t read that!” Too late; you were blushing as your eyes skimmed through the words. Half of the paper was filled with cute but cheesy pickup lines and the other half was filled with dirty ones. You hand the paper back to him. “Uh, sorry…” you mutter. Feli laughs nervously. “Oh Ludwig, you’re going to laugh when you hear this. I was working on that right before we left but then your brother comes out of nowhere and decides to help. Because you were rushing me I asked if he could just finish it for me, aha, isn’t that hilarious?” Ludwig scowls at him before ripping up the paper and shoving it back into his pocket. You walk up to him and smile.

“Was that uh, stuff for you to say to me?” He nods. “I’m not very good at talking to women like Feliciano is. I wanted his help because he has said nice things about you and you sounded like a very nice woman to be with. I just uh…” he just looks away from you and blushes. You couldn’t help but smile. “That is so cute.” That just made him blush more. “So ______, do you want to be my girlfriend?” You nod and kiss him on the cheek. “I would love to.”

“See, see! I told you Ludwig! I told you that you would have no problem getting her!” Feli runs up to him and smiles. He then pulls you to the side. “_____, Just to warn you, he is a bit aggressive and likes very kinky sex.” You shrug. “That’s okay with me.”
