sighs as he sees him, having just finished his work in the home office. He goes to him, pulling his feet onto the couch.

stirs slightly, and curls in on himself before quieting again, still asleep.

smiles to himself, bending down to kiss his sleeping cheek softly.

smiles in his sleep. His body minutely reaching out to Ludwig.

grabbed and he hovers over him, not sure if he should pull away or not.

tugs on him, trying to pull him closer, though still fast asleep.

makes a small sound and quickly clamps his mouth shut, moving to sit on the edge of the couch with Feli's head on_

_his lap.

sighs happily and faces Ludwig's chest and body. His hand entwining themselves in Ludwig's shirt.

pulls him completely in his lap, holding him close after wrapping him in a blanket. He leans back against the couch, holding him with_

_a happy look on his face.

's hands move again, to find a different part of his shirt to grab onto, making him more comfy and snuggles into Ludwig's neck, sighing_

happily again.

closes his eyes, brushing his fingers through Feli's hair. His head pulsed with pain and he closes his eyes, training to let it pass. It had

_been happening more and more this week.

slowly wakes up, feeling something distressing coming from the other man. He lifts his head, and places one hand on the side of Ludwig's_

cheek. Blearily he looks at him, and asks slightly worried, "Lu-Ludwig? Are you okay?"

nods, the pain quickly subsiding with the Italian's hand on his face. "Mm, go back to sleep," he whispers.

waking up quickly now, noticing the pained grimace on his face, "No-no! What's the matter? What's going on? Are you okay? What happened?"He_

babbles starting to worry a lot and even be slightly afraid. It took a lot to hurt Ludwig, and he didn't want anything to hurt him!

shakes his head, the pain completely gone as he gives him a nervous smile. "It's nothing," he assures him.

frowns looking into his eyes. He did seem to be better now.. He leans forward and kisses his forehead. "If you're hurting tell me okay?" He_

curls back into his previous spot, now biting his lip. He was too worried about Ludwig to want to sleep again.

pulls him close, burying his face into his neck. "I'm okay, I promise."

lays a soft kiss on Ludwig's collarbone. "Good! I don't like when you hurt!! I wanna be able to help, if I can.. Thank you."

nods, not wanting to bother him, yet he felt terrible for hiding it. "You shouldn't make it a habit to sleep out on the sofa," he tease.

blinks, "huh?" He looks around and gasps then giggles, "Oh! I didn't realize- I must have fallen asleep when trying to work!"

smiles and stands up. "I guess getting you to bed now would be a bit useless, hm?"

giggles and nods. "No more sleep for Feli!"

smiles more and takes his hand, pulling him onto his feet. "Let's try some tea to get you sleepy."

pouts at Ludwig, following him easily. "Why sleep? Can't we stay up and watch a movie, or play a game or something??" He asks allwide awake_

now.

chuckles softly and goes into the kitchen. He begins the water, his back to Feli as he hides another pang. Damn these headaches!

forgotten about the headaches at the moment, he just hopes they aren't becoming regular. He steps behind him and wraps his arms around him.

jumps a little, having spaced out.

giggles into his back and peeks around his arm. "What'cha making?" He asks, though he already knew.

smiles to him nervously, quickly grabbing the kettle and pouring the hot water into the cups.

why he's nervous and raises an eyebrow. They've done more than just hug, (at this point he blushes from remembering) so he doubted that was_

the reason.

just places the tea bags in each of the cups and pushes Feli's cup to the Italian. "Here..>

picks it up and sits down at the kitchen table, cupping it to his face, but not drinking it yet.

remains standing, staring into his own cup as he pushes back the creeping headache.

he says something to him if they come back. He rather them worry together than one of them being clueless.

doesn't want to worry him with his pain.

doesn't want him to hide it. ((Totally almost wrote "hyde" there xD... Stop looking him up while Plurking.. <.<))

sips his tea, hoping it would help.

sighs into his tea and drinks some of it, knowing Ludwig was in pain again, he could see it in his body.

how he does that, it's kind of creepy.

known Ludwig' for so long, so he notices the extra tense-ness in his body, compared to when he's pain free and happy.

sighs, knowing he can't hide it as he takes his cup and sits across from Feli.

reaches one hand out, across the table towards him.

takes his hand, squeezing it a bit.

smiles reassuringly at him.

looks to the side before looking back to him. "I've been... having these strange flashbacks..."

blinks, his head cocking to the side. "Wha?", he says wanting to know more.

bits his bottom lip and squeezes Feli's hand, a bit scared, which was rare. "Strange... memories, of a time I wasn't... me."

squeezes it in return, and stares at him, trying not to appear horrified. Horrified for him. "H-how.. How can it not be.. y-you? In these.._

...These 'memories'..?" Seeing Ludwig's fear only made him more afraid for him.

takes a long drink of the tea with his other hand before taking a deep breath. "You're in it, a smaller you. Everything is bigger, so_

_much bigger, as if I were... tiny. Yet, it wasn't when I was a kid... as if I were in a time hundreds a years before that."

completely forgotten about his tea. "Wait, m-me?" He shakes his head confused, as well. "I didn't know you though.. Not when I was young. I_

don't understand."

furrows his eyebrows, the headache pulsating against him. "You kept... calling me something... Holy... or something?"

's eyes go wide. His body tense, straightening up. His hand fly to his face as he stares at the other man. "H-Holy Roman Empire..." he says_

in an almost broken whisper. He mutters to himself, almost hysterical. "N-no. But you aren't, you can't be..are you..?"

looks down at the table. He slides his hand away from his to his lap, getting a very HRE look to his face. "I-I don't know..."

gets up, stiffly, still somewhat hysterical, and sits on the table, in front of Ludwig. "look at me..!"

nervously looks up at him, not understanding why Feli was acting so... strange. "What?"

reaches both hands up to cup his cheeks. He stares deep into his eyes, noting that same gorgeous blue. Why hadn't he ever realized before?_

"He went off to war. He wanted me to go with him, but I didn't want him to get hurt, like Grandpa Rome...He never came back.. But..You..Him_

Your memories, your looks, they... they match." His voice broke as his eyes start watering. "I know you'd always come back to me!" Tears_

start to fall freely now.

quickly stands, not liking how Feli was crying now. He goes to his side, holding him close. "Don't cry," he whispers.

clings to him while crying, but a big smile is on his face. "Holy Roman Empire was my first love, you know. You were my first love!" He_

hiccups and gives a little laugh, "You were my first love!"

looks at him, still confused. "I-I don't understand."

blushes, but looks him in the eye "You said little me used to call you Holy Roman Empire.. I was in love with him and was devastated that_

he never came back to me.. But you have. All this time I never knew!" He wipes his eyes some, to be able to see him properly. "All this_

time neither of us knew!"

rubs the bridge of his nose, stumbling a few steps away from him as he tries to understand what was happening.

doesn't really get it either. "Some of your memories.. Who was in them??"

shakes his head, the pain pulsating harder against his head. "I.. I can't really think right now..."

nods and and starts rubbing at his temples. "I'm sorry, for working myself up there, and freaking you out too, probably.."

somehow finds a seat and sits down, covering his head. "I need a beer," he breathes out.

jumps up and runs to the fridge, quickly grabbing out his favourite kind and opens the top, bringing it back to him almost instantaneously.

takes it with a mumbled thanks, drinking it almost completely in one go as he lets out a sigh. "A painting..."

blinks at him confused. He couldn't be drunk yet, so what was with the random mumbling? "Huh?"

looks at him, rubbing his the back of his neck. "There was a painting. I... I think you gave it to him... me..."

back and smiles at the memory. "I know I gave him, you, painting lessons. Of a bunny! He, er, you, hadn't done much art stuff. so you_

wanted to learn, right..?"

suddenly gets that image in his mind and face palms, blushing like mad. "I couldn't draw..."

giggles, "You could!... Well.. You got better!"

nods, twisting the bottle between his palms. "I... I drew you... but I never showed it to you.."

's eyes go wide. "whaa? Y-you did?? Do you still have it maybe?? I wanna see!" Jump on the spot smiling happily at the cute thought.

's face darkens and he shakes his head, taking another drink of beer (finishing it). "It...was lost in a fire," he says quietly.

frowns and nods, it was understandable. "Why do you think you're just remembering all this now?" He blushes, "It's like we were destined to_

be together! ...Wait.. Do you remember the kiss..?"

suddenly does and goes bright red, not answering him.

grins, a blush bright on his face, too. "Like I said, you were my first kiss!"

covers his face with both his hands. This was too embarrassing.

giggles and pulls at his hands. He lays a kiss on his forehead, amused with him.

bright red and he attempts to clear his throat. He couldn't bring himself to tell him of the other things, of the things that happened_

_after he had left him. All of it was still too much of a blur, but it burned like fire in his mind.

never found out about what happened. He wasn't going to ask about that stuff, though, for fear of him hurting himself trying to answer him..

pulls Feli onto his lap, holding him close as he buries his face into his chest.

pets Ludwig's hair, trying to comfort him, he wouldn't know how to react either, if he had lost memories and are just remembering them..

quivers a little. "Will this change me?" he asks in a small voice.

gasps slightly, feeling heartbroken. He kisses his hair "No, no! It was always you, has always been you. You will not change as this is who_

you are. You were Holy Roman Empire. Now you're Germany, now you're Ludwig. My Ludwig. Nothing will ever change that."

holds him tight, still quivering. He eventually calms and looks up at him, kissing him softly.

looks down at him smiling gently, and kisses him back, giving him whatever comfort he could.

runs his fingers through his hair, needing to feel him.

deepens the kiss slightly, running his own fingers through Ludwig's hair.

slides his tongue along Feli's bottom lip, wrapping one arm around the Italian's waist and pulling him closer.

opens his mouth for Ludwig, wanting to give him everything Ludwig needed, tonight of all nights. Ludwig needed him.

breaks the kiss slowly, swallowing hard as he tries to catch his breath. "I love you," he whispers.

rests his forehead against Ludwig and whispers back, "I love you too. More than you know!"

holds him tight again, closing his eyes. He was suddenly tired, part of the weight of those suppressed memories having lifted. "You're_

_going away for another business trip, right?" he asks quietly.

frowns and rests his head on Ludwig's shoulder. "Y-yeah. This one I can't get out of! Two weeks, Ludwig, two weeks! How will I last?!"

squeezes him a bit, sighing. "We'll... we'll get through this," he assures him, giving him a half smile.

squeezes him back and frowns. "Somehow.." he says mutely into Ludwig's shoulder.

content to just hold him for now, rubbing his hand against his back slowly.

slowly falling asleep from the rush of emotions on both their parts. He thinks that maybe they should go to bed, though not voicing it, as_

the sooner they go to bed, the sooner he has to leave on his trip..

stands, holding him still as he carries them to bed. He lays Feli down and curls up near him, his hand around his waist.

cuddles in to Ludwig, using him as a pillow. He sighs, and gives him one last kiss before allowing himself to fall asleep.

closes his eyes, the memories still clear in the back of his eyes as he shakes them out of his head. He kisses his forehead and sleeps_

_soon.
