Ludwig held the Italian tightly in his arms, gently rocking back and forth with him. The two were in a battle and Feli had gotten shot.

"Luddy... I'm getting tired..." Feli mumbled, his hands gripping the back of Ludwig's uniform.

"Nein Feli.... just hang in there! K-Kiku will be here soon a-an-" Ludwig was cut off when the redhead took his hand in one of his, giving it a tight squeeze.

"Ludwig.... Yo-you've always been my best friend, you and Kiku. I-I love you guys..." Feli weakly smiled

"F-Feli, stop talking like that! You'll live!" Ludwig whimpered, letting a tear slide down his cheek.

Feli carefully wiped the tear away and kissed his friends cheek, he then rested his chin on Ludwig's shoulder, closing his eyes.

"F-Feli?!" Ludwig shook the boy, but he was limp. Ludwig whimpered, hugging the body and rocking back and forth with him. He brushed some of the Italian's hair away and kissed Feli's forehead, hugging him a little tighter.

His best friend was gone.
