  There were many opportunities for Ludwig to tell someone that he loved them. The other person was none other than Feliciano Vargas, the happy go lucky Italian that often hung all over the German man. At first Ludwig was annoyed by his friend's clinginess, but slowly he grew to love the little pasta loving boy.
 
  Each of Ludwig's attempts at confession had ended with, "I... nevermind." Every time. Until the one time he finally got it out…

--Attempt 1--
 
  Thanks to Feliciano's tardiness, Ludwig had to miss the bus to the city of Berlin and wait for his friend to arrive; then the next bus wouldn't come for another twenty minutes. To make things worse, the already dark clouds that had gathered overhead started to pour down rain.

  Ludwig sat under the safety of the bus stop, listening to the harsh sound of rain hitting the metal roof, and the ground around him. He wondered why Feliciano had to be so lenient with his punctuality. After he mentally scolded his friend, he started to hope that he was okay at least in the rain.
 
  When Feli finally made it, he was soaked to the bone and yelling apologies as he took refuge under the small shelter of the bus stop alongside his friend.
 
  Ludwig wanted to yell at the Italian, but he didn’t. With a sigh, he said, "Fine... it's alright, nothing too bad happened..."
 
  "Oh? Grazie!" Feliciano called and sat on the bench. He was expecting his German friend to lecture him about punctuality until the next bus arrived; but he wasn't going to.
 
  Ludwig just huffed a little and looked at his friend, whom he noticed was shivering slightly. He sighed and took the green jacket he always wore from around his shoulders and placed it over the cold Italian; leaving himself in just his less protective, but dry white tee shirt.
 
  "But Luddy-" Feliciano protested at once, staring up at the blonde cutely with wide amber eyes, using the nickname he had for the German. "You'll get cold-"
 
  "I'll be fine..." Ludwig responded. "You're all wet, you need the warmth..."
 
  Feli nodded slowly and wrapped the jacket, which was many sizes too big, around him like a blanket. With a smile, he happily chirped an agreement, "Alright..."
 
  Ludwig gazed down at the adorable boy, his light auburn hair was soaked by the water but still looked cute. He swallowed a little and leaned over a little, thinking now would be a nice time to tell Feliciano that he loved him.
 
  "You know Feliciano... I..." he looked down while the Italian gazed up at him with interest. The German's voice caught in his throat and he gulped. "I... nevermind..."
 
  Feli blinked but noticed that Ludwig didn't want to continue with his statement... so for once he kept quiet.

--Attempt 2--
 
  As a result of getting soaked in the rain, Feliciano got really sick really fast. He laid in bed sneezing and coughing, the abnormal auburn curl that stuck out from his hair was in a shriveled kind of shape, and his face was flushed red.
 
  Ludwig didn't know this when he stormed to the Italian's house demanding where he was for training, and instantly softened up a little when he noticed his friend's fragile form. Tears were in Feliciano's eyes from the noises, so Ludwig apologized for yelling. The tears dried and Feli smiled.
 
  "Ah, good~" Feliciano said then coughed into his arm.
 
  The blond man stared down at the bed and sighed, shutting his icy blue eyes, " You look terrible. Do you need anything?"
 
  "Well..."
 
  And for the next half hour or so, Ludwig doted on Feliciano, making some soup for him, bringing tissues and a wet washcloth for him. He didn't mind doing all these things, and it made him feel good inside that he was helping his crush get better.
 
  Ludwig sat at the end of the bed while Feli started to finally doze off, his eyes fluttering shut and opening again.
 
  The German smiled a little and got up to let his friend sleep, "Feli, I..." he looked at the Italian who has fallen asleep already. "Nevermind..."

--Attempt 3--
 
  Once Feliciano got better, he was back to his old self. That meant making tons of pasta all the time, resisting against running during training, and flirting with every girl he laid eyes on.
 
  Naturally, this made Ludwig jealous. He figured the kind actions he has put forward for the smaller man would at least make his Italian eyes see the feelings Ludwig had for him. But it didn’t happen. The German watched as his friend shamelessly flirted with several girls that had gathered around him in a group, like a flock of ducks around a loaf of bread.

  After a while of just watching, Ludwig walked forward and pulled Feliciano to the side, away from his crowd of fangirls, despite the smaller man’s protests. Once out of sight, Ludwig turned to Feliciano and lectured him about how he shouldn’t just go around flirting with tons of girls all the time, feeling hurt on the inside, Eventually, his tone softened and he looked down a little. He realized he was dictating his friend’s choices because he was jealous. He knew Feliciano probably didn’t even swing his way, and it was unfair to yell at him for flirting.

  Ludwig sighed a little and looked away from the trembling Italian, who perked up at his friend’s sudden, uncharacteristic change of mood.

  “Ve~ Luddy? What’s the matter?” The small boy asked, the curl on the side of his head perking up as well.

  Ludwig shook his head, “It’s nothing, Feliciano…” he replied. He wanted to tell the boy how he felt so badly, to pour his feelings onto the auburn haired sweetheart. But he didn’t want to risk losing the only friend he has.

  Feliciano looked at Ludwig and made another ‘ve’ noise, “Oh- I know what the issue is! It’s written all over your face!” he smiled widely. “You’re in love!”

  “Vas?!” Ludwig exclaimed, thinking if it was that obvious. “N-Nein. I’m not-”

  Feliciano just smiled wider, “Si! Si, you are! Well Luddy? Who is it?” he asked, his slightly down casted mood not showing in his voice.

  “It’s no one-” Ludwig persisted and Feliciano just kept pressing him and pressing him with questions. He really wanted to know who this girl that captured his friend’s was. It took a few minutes of the Italian’s pestering voice trying to pry into the blonde’s mind before he was finally given his answer.

  “It’s you okay!” Ludwig said loudly, which for anyone who knows him, knows that his loud voice is in fact very loud. “It’s you. Ich liebe dich alright? I thought maybe you would notice with all you romantic expertise and such, but you haven’t! I’m not good at being romantic and I know you’d rather not be bothered with someone like me-

  “I didn’t want to ruin our friendship either… but you wanted to know so badly- So there-” Ludwig took a deep breath when he finished his rant. Feliciano stood there with his honey brown eyes open wide, which rarely happens and Ludwig just stared at him for a few moments, replaying all that he just said in his mind,

  “Feliciano… I-”

  “Ti amo troppo!” the Italian interrupted loudly. “Luddy… ti amo troppo. I love you too-” he said and immediately launched himself, his arms wide open, at his dumbstruck friend. His arms wrapped around Ludwig’s torso as far as they would go and buried his face into the other’s toned chest.

  Ludwig just blinked his blue eyes in surprise, “What? You do?”

  “Si! I didn’t want to tell you either… in case you would yell at me-” Feliciano said. “Even though you yell at me a lot, you’re so strong and you can be nice when you want to be! Like when you gave me your jacket in the rain, and took care of me when I was sick-” he smiled widely and looked up.

  Ludwig smiled just slightly, “I was trying to tell you that I loved you then too, but I couldn’t get it out--” he said and blushed slightly.

  Feliciano laughed a little, “I didn’t know that… normally I can always tell these things!”

  The German smiled at the smaller Italian and leaned down, pressing his lips against the other’s boy’s. They kissed for just a few seconds before Ludwig pulled away, blushing even more than he was before.

  “Ich liebe dich, Feliciano,” Ludwig repeated.

  “Ti amo troppo~” Feliciano answered jubilantly in his own native language then hugged Ludwig again.

  Ludwig smiled and wrapped his arms around Feliciano, returning the hug, “But you know… you’ll have to stop flirting with every girl you see if you’re going to be my boyfriend,” he said.

  “... Alright-”

  And Ludwig still had to yell at his boyfriend for flirting with all the beautiful ladies he saw. They got it worked out eventually, but it was quite the adventure for both of them.

Okay I know this sucks but I had a good idea then I killed it! I killed it! So it ended up just being a kind of drabble… oh well. I haven’t written any GerIta and I wanted to- But I butchered their characters and oh my god I’m done.

At least it’s a little bit fluffy.

I wrote attempt 3 about a week after attempts 1 and 2, and in a classroom.Can you tell? XD I can- That’s mostly what went downhill XD

Characters do not belong to me.

Only the story belongs to me.
