Which Goes Nowhere
Ludwig had a strange dream that night. It was of when he was young, before he lost his memory, he guessed.
He was on the doorstep of a house he had never seen before, a young Feliciano stood just in front of him, eyes opened wide.
"I have to go." Ludwig said, his voice higher and not at all familiar.
"I need you to stay!" Feli grasped onto Ludwig's shirt, face pleading.
"I'm sorry. I have to go home before dark or I'll get in trouble."
"But you can't! Lovi went to stay with Matthew and grandpa went to the hospital again. You can't leave me all alone."
"Feliciano..." Ludwig hugged Feli tightly, not wanting to let go. "I promise I'll come back soon."
"Well, then, take this so you'll remember me," he held out a tiny chain with a little charm hanging from it that looked like a broom.
Ludwig slipped it into his pocket and looked at Feliciano. "I don't have anything to give you back...but..."
"But what?"
"But what do people do when they like somebody?"
Feliciano looked down, thinking. "They kiss, I think."
Ludwig nodded and leaned forward, pressing his lips to the Italian's. They pulled away a few seconds later, hearts beating fast and smiles stretched wide.
"I'll be back tomorrow!" Ludwig stepped away, waving slowly. Feli waved back, fingers to his mouth and face tinted the same colour as the setting sun.
The blond ran off into the woods, keeping that face on his mind as he swerved through familiar paths.
But then, he realized, the path he was on didn't look familiar at all. He tried back tracking but must have taken a wrong turn. Everything looked so different in this lighting. He couldn't tell how far he walked after a while or even in what direction. And so, he just walked.
An entire day ended up passing and he was still lost. His stomach felt like it was trying to consume itself, he was so hungry.
Ludwig shot up in bed. He felt Feliciano shift beside him as he got to his feet and ran back to his bedroom. He ripped open the top drawer of his night stand and dug to the bottom until he found what he was looking for. Scooping the object into his hand, he ran back to the living room where his new boyfriend was rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Feli! Do Jou recognize zhis? He let the chain dangle from his fingertips, showing off the charm in the shape of a broom.
Feli looked shocked. "Y-you...you can't have something like that...you...that's..."
"I was found with it. Do you know what it is?"
"Sí..." Feli was shaking. "That's the necklace I gave to Julius before he disappeared."
