Lieber Ludwig,
Ja, I am feeling better. Time does help. Do not worry, if I shall need you I will contact you. I do look up to you aftter all, you will be the first one I would contact
I have faith that this can happen. You are two of the smartest men I know and while papa can be frustrating and hardheaded, I know that you can get through to him and make him realize what is important when you need too.
Ja, it's been a while, at least I think it has. And truthfully I only wrote that becuase I forgot what we were talking about and it just seem like something I should say. I do remember that Feliciano was visiting and I hope it goes well in general. Ja, I feel like I'll be seeing serious Alfred during this trip.
He's plotting secretly? Merde, that can't end well. Do you have any clue what it could be? Hmm, wonder what he crossed out in one of his letters to me....makes me wonder if I should go back and try to read it.
Astrid

Tesoro Luddi,
V-Ve, mi dispiace~ I know that I promised n-no more sneak attacks, but... Luddi, after your letter how could my k-kiss and hugging a-and all that really be "out of nowhere"? No, don't apologize, even if I don't t-think I acted out of nowhere it would have still been very surprising... Ve, si, a-a little. I s-still can't stop smiling though~ ...It did make me cry, Luddi. B-But I was very very happy, si? I still am happy, very happy~ Ve, si~ I'm sure that a kiss and a hug, plus my note, would definitely be "signs of consent"~ My heart was racing too, Luddi, and I'm-- Ve, I just can't remember the last time I was this happy and it's all because of you~
...You don't have to worry, though. I'm not going anywhere, not any time soon. I don't want to leave, and I don't know if I ever will. ...Though I never knew Luddi loved romance like this~ And you said you weren't good with words~ Ve, I really am so very lucky. Luddi...would be surprised how, even when I had been with Lovi, he was almost always on my mind. I don't ever want to be anywhere else, Luddi. I will stay with you, I promise. Anch io ti amo. Ve, ich liebe dich auch~
Con tanto amore, Feliciano

Liebe Astrid,
that is a relief. Ja, please don’t hesitate to contact me then.
Thank you for your faith in us, I shall do my best not to let you down. Oh ja, no doubt that he is frustrating and hardheaded at times… But then again, critical thinking about each other’s ideas can be helpful for our work too, as long as we aren’t overdoing it.
Unfortunately I can’t deny that it has been far too long. I hope that we can arrange a meeting soon. That is right, Feliciano and I are spending some time in Munich together and… n-na ja, I guess everything goes well… very well even. We finally got to talk some things out after it had become more and more awkward difficult in the last days and… and… I am very glad that we did. I understand. Please give my regards to Alfred too.
He didn’t talk to me about it, but as I heard from Feliciano Joseph is apparently planning to leave somewhere to shut himself away from people. I hope that it isn’t true though.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig

Liebster Feliciano,
n-na ja… After I handed you that letter I was trying to focus on work despite my nervousness to keep myself from running upstairs and taking it back again to rip it up. I didn’t know how you would take that letter or if you would b-believe me at all. W-when I saw you crying I thought you would maybe… tell me that you c-can’t stay under the same r-roof with me anymore. So… ja, your sneak attack was surprising, but a very positive surprise. I am happy too, Feliciano, and the fact that you are also happy makes me even happier. Actually I don’t know if any words exist that could nearly describe how happy I am right now. It feels like a tons weighing load off my mind. When I see your smile I can’t help thinking that finally everything is well. Every financial crisis or political troubles suddenly seem pointless, I don’t know if that makes any sense.
Thank you, Feliciano. I want us to stay together,… so w-when you have to go back home again, I will accompany you. … R-romance…? W-well, despite of the rumours my brothers spread about some weird porn collection or… sex-toys under my bed,… even if I am not “romantic” there are some… things like that I enjoy. … Did you think that was good…? I rather felt like a 12-years-old writing his first love-letter o-or so… No, you aren’t lucky - I am. I-Is that true…? Oh je, I d-don’t know what to say… Thank you, Feliciano. My thoughts have been c-circling around you f-for quite some time too actually. S-so, I guess I can make the bed for two again today?
In Liebe, Ludwig

Tesoro Luddi,
Ve, I was a bit nervous to read your not, t-to be honest...I thought you were trying to say that you feels...awkward and uncomfortable with me writing my letters like that, a-and that you knew what they meant and you didn't want me here anymore... But then I actually read it and I was so relieved I couldn't help but start crying. And I'm glad that you liked it despite Luddi normally not liking surprises. I don't think I know a word that could explain how happy I am too, Luddi. That's when actions are necessary to show such emotions... And why I kissed Luddi before either of us could say anything. I-I couldn't help myself. The world's weight off my shoulders, my worries gone... I haven't felt this happy in so many months, and it's all because of you~ Hm... Ve, I don't know why me smiling would make those issues seem pointless but I'm touched that seeing me happy makes you feel so happy too~
...Ve, but I don't want Luddi to feel that we have to stay in Venezia the rest of forever or however long the city stays above the ocean because I adore Luddi's cities as well... So we can always flipflop between cities, if Luddi wants. Si, romance~ Don't you think that only a romantic would talk about "interrupting work to walk hand in hand with the dogs" and "falling asleep every night with you in my arms.? Not that it's a bad thing, of course, I love every idea, I was just a little surprised. Very pleasantly surprised~ Oh, si, Luddi, I did think it was good! You were able to be sweet and romantic a-and it made me tear up, remember~? Obviously it was good then~ Ve, can't we just agree that we're both lucky then? Si~ Make for two~ I'm sure I'll sleep really well now, ve.
Con tanto amore, Feliciano

Liebster Feliciano,
na ja, I guess by now we know the reason for the awkward tension that we have felt lately. That I have been feeling awkward and uncomfortable is true, but it resulted from my guilty conscience... for wanting more when I should have felt lucky to be your best friend... and equally because I didn't know how to handle those growing feelings. N-nein, I didn't know what your words meant. I tried to look them up tough, but couldn't find “tesor”... My Italian isn't that good, but maybe I could start learning it again. I-I understand. T-That's... well, I guess that sounds reasonable then... Feliciano-reasonable, I have to say,... since I still have to learn to resort to actions when I am at a loss for words. That is a relief. I missed your smile.
Nein, nein. What I wanted to say is that no matter where you decide to go, I want to stay at your side, w-well, if you don't mind. As long as it is with you, I can put up with any place. … Rather a r-responsible dog owner than a r-romantic, isn't it...? The dogs need to get walked a-anyway and when I have to interrupt my work to do so, I would be happy to have your company and... A-as for the sleep... I, well, g-guess... N-nevermind. In the end it doesn't matter if I am romantic or not as long as we agree on the fundamentals. To make you cry was not my intention at all though. My apologies, Feliciano. Ja, we can agree that we are both lucky. Hopefully you did sleep as well as expected. Considering that I finally woke up before you and judging from that cute frown-pout-expression you sometimes wear when you sleep again, it looked that way.
In Liebe, Ludwig

Lieber Ludwig
You could never let me down Ludwig. Critical thinking can help expand ideas and make them better.
I hope we can do, that would be good, but don't rush your stay with Feliciano. It is good you to talked and got the difficult stuff figured out.
I will. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear from you.
Really? Locking himself away from everyone. Gott thats stupid. I hope he not, that is really stupid.
Astrid

Tesoro Luddi,
Si, I guess we do... And while it seems silly now, I'm very happy that it's gone now. Oh, ve... I want to say that Luddi shouldn't feel guilty for wanting more, but...that would be hypocritical of me. I-I felt just like that as well. I...didn't want to lose what we already had as friends, i-it was closer than I'd ever had in a friend before and I hadn't wanted to lose that. That's why...I had kept silent as long as I had, ve. I was afraid that Luddi wouldn't take me seriously, t-that...things would go wrong. But things haven't gone wrong. I still have my Luddi, ve. ...Ve, you couldn't find it because it was "tesoro", not "tesor"... I-I couldn't finish the word, I was too nervous. Ve, my German isn't much better, so maybe we could teach each other someday. Don't worry, Luddi. It does take some people a little time to get used to the idea of actions over words, or actions when words aren't there. Really, ve? Well, I'll be smiling a lot more now~
...Really? That's so sweet, Luddi~~ Si, I'd be quite happy if Luddi stuck around~ Though I don't want to make you "put up" with any place we stay at... I want Luddi to be comfortable too. Ve, Luddi, the wording makes all the difference though~ But if Luddi doesn't want to be called a romantic then I'll stop, ve. Doesn't stop me from thinking it's adorable though~ The fundamentals...? Oh, no, Luddi, don't apologize~ I was happy, happy tears, si? Si, I slept very well, though...Luddi slept well too, ve? That was the problem last time...I didn't make Luddi uncomfortable or anything this time around, did I??
Con tanto amore, Feliciano

Liebe Astrid,
danke, but you know that I am not exactly an innocent angel. I can agree on what you said about critical thinking though.
I am confident that we can settle a date once you returned from Alfred. N-nein, no worries. I don’t rush anything, I don’t think so at least. Uhm… w-well, I am not sure how to phrase this… Actually Feliciano and I haven’t only been able to talk some thinks out, but… we have gotten together when we did.
You can set your mind at rest, since Joseph is still here and drops by to visit with Gilbert regularly. He also seems to be getting better again in the last days.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig

Liebster Feliciano,
looking back it may seem silly, but hindsight is easier than foresight, I suppose. I am just very relieved and happy that we got over it. Danke, those were the words I was looking for. Ja, I was aware that I was very lucky to be considered your best friend and your closest confidant, so despite secretly wishing to be even more I rather wanted to be at your side as that than to risk burdening the friendship we had with one-sided feelings and risking to lose you. Of course I would take you seriously, Feliciano. I may be teasing you a little at times, but I could never doubt you. Still I shared your fear,… you will probably understand given that the last person I offered my feelings to had laughed and called me a liar. … L-let’s better not talk about it anymore, please. It couldn’t have gone better and I am the luckiest man on earth to be allowed to call you mine. That is a nice idea. Ja, I would love learning Italian from you. It seems that I will be one of those people then, entschuldige. D-danke vielmals, Feliciano. I appreciate every single one of your smiles.
Y-you think so…? It is nothing but the truth though. Oh, I apologise, that probably came out differently than intended. What I wanted to say is that your company is more important to me than our surroundings. … I have never been considered or called a romantic before, actually rather the opposite, so I have troubles associating myself with that word. W-well, as long as you get my point, it should be subsidiary if my wording is romantic or not, isn’t it…? Yes, I slept well too, thank you. It might sound odd, but now I feel like it is officially all right to share a bed. Now that I don’t have to hide my feelings for you anymore, I can relax next to you and sleep calmly.
Congratulations on your team qualifying for the half-final of UEFA! I hoped all along that our teams would meet in the tournament and I can’t wait for the game. But I will have to warn you. If you should yell and curse my team like you did with Arthur’s yesterday, I am afraid that I will have to think of a punishment for you.
In Liebe, Ludwig

Caro Luddi,
Si, that's very true. I think...it just seems silly to because instead of thinking with my head and knowing how Luddi is, I just let my fears get the best of me. I'm very thankful that my fears were completely unfounded, even if they made me look ridiculous. Ve, we had the same worries the whole way through, didn't we? Not wanting to lose what we had, but wanting more...scared of not being taken seriously, worrying about ruining things... It's almost interesting, si? Teasing? Si, Luddi does that, but I was more worried that you'd think I'd...mistaken my feelings because of things with Lovi rather than you thinking it was a joke and teasing me for it... Since all of my time has been spent with Luddi after that, I thought you'd think that I was simply confusing things. But you didn't, you... Ve, I understand, Luddi. And si, let's talk about something less...sensitive. ...Aw, Luddi, you're overexaggerating again~ I would enjoy learning German from Luddi as well, though I'm sorry I've forgotten it when you tried so hard to teach me those decades ago. Ve, it's fine, Luddi~ That just means I get to teach you!! And I'm very happy to see Luddi smiling so much as well~!
Si, I do, I do~ Even if it's the truth it's so sweet of you to say~ Ve, I understand now! Ve, I'll stay wherever Luddi is, though I'm sure Joseph will be sending us off sooner or later. Well, the phrasing that Luddi used was just...it sounded sweet and romantic to me! Well, even if Luddi isn't romantic I still love him just as he is~ Veeeee, I'm happy for that~ I'm glad that I don't make Luddi nervous anymore and that he can sleep now. Though I do miss waking up before you like I had been in earlier weeks...
Grazie!! And congratulations as well, Luddi, you've been playing so well!! I really do think that Luddi can win this whole tournament~ I can't wait for the game either, and you'd best be ready for a challenge! My team has been doing their best and we won't be easy to beat! Ve~? Is that...a challenge~?
Feliciano

Liebster Feliciano,
obviously we had the same unfounded worries all along. But I still want to believe that they were neither ridiculous nor completely unreasonable all things considered. After getting deceived by a good friend respectively a family member out of the blue, it obviously took both of us a while to open up again. But all that matters in the end is that we were able to overcome our fears. Never before have I been so happy that I took a risk and never have I been rewarded so amply. … W-well, I was indeed afraid that the reason for your nervousness and dejection was that you were still in love with Romano, but wanted to hide your pain not to worry me again and… a-accordingly I was afraid that you would turn me down and… Ja, I had that fear. But I know that you are a smart guy who knows his feelings. When you say you l-love me, I have no reason not to believe you. … Nein, I am not exaggerating at all. That is all right. It was quite a while ago and my means of teaching you back then weren’t exactly the best. Furthermore I will have to apologise as well, since I forgot about all Italian I learnt from you in the past too. Let’s simply start anew, ja? You will get to teach me a lot I assume. Thank you, Feliciano. Ah… I will try to keep that in mind then.
N-na ja… I was just stating the obvious, it wasn’t a big deal. That is right, we should think about where to head when we will have to leave the mansion. I will ask Joseph if they found a customer by now and if he knows a date we have to move out when he and Gilbert come to visit tomorrow. ... Uhm... T-thank you, Feliciano. I love you too. Admittedly, it would be a little exaggerated to say that you don’t make me nervous at all anymore,… b-because I still feel my skin tickle and my heart race in your presence, but… it has become a normal excitement now… if that makes any sense, which it probably doesn’t. However, I can sleep now. Why do you miss that? You have always slept longer than I have ever since I can remember.
… Thank you for the compliment, Feliciano. But obviously my team won’t win the tournament. Finito for that dream, we’ll be the eternal runner-up again. Now we will cheer for Italy so that we can at least say that we lost against the champion. So I expect your team to win the cup on Sunday. … Thank you also for not bragging too much yesterday, I appreciate it. … No, that was a warning and no challenge. I already got some supplies ready for you in the bedroom,… didn’t you notice…?
In Liebe, Ludwig

Dear Ludwig,
Ja, I would like it if you talked with him...
Honestly, I have no idea what's going on with him... I haven't heard from him all month! And it's making me worry a bit...
Yours Truely,

Guten Tag Dänemark,
thank you for your letter. It is nice to hear from my northern neighbour. How have you been doing? Not that I am not used to letters dripping with beer thanks to my brothers, but I appreciate your consideration.
Viele Grüße, Deutschland
