A Vampire, A Werewolf and a Merman Walk into a Bar
t was one of the strangest sights Ludwig had seen in a long while. Perhaps that was why he kept coming up each night, pure curiosity.
It had all started when Ludwig had come to a surface on a whim to admire the night sky. He had chosen a good night as the moon shone full among the stars. It was quite peaceful and very quiet, that was until a large creature came barreling past him, causing him to almost fall off the rock he was sitting on.
“Oh my God, Arthur,” a man’s accented voice called, “You feral little thing, get back here before someone sees you.”
A blond man with curly strains tied up in a ribbon and deep blue eyes that seemed to glow in the dark came running towards him. He stopped beside Ludwig’s rock, hunching over, trying to catch his breath, grumbling something along the lines of “So much for vampiric speed.” When he straightened back up, he finally noticed Ludwig. “Oh...sorry for disturbing you. B-But…” The man trailed off as his gaze fell onto Ludwig’s tail, eyes widening before quickly catching himself and continuing, ``Have you seen a wolf-like being come this way?”
Ludwig himself was having his own little moment of realization. Fangs, pale porcelain-like skin, glowing eyes, a vampire. Beautiful, but also a being that struck fear into the hearts of many. Once he overcame his initial shock, wordlessly, he pointed towards the direction that the creature went, and with a short ‘thank you’ the vampire was off once more, chasing after what Ludwig was starting to figure was a werewolf. He returned to looking up at the sky shortly after, forgetting about the vampire and suspected werewolf for the time being.
A few nights later, Ludwig returned to the surface, curious if he had witnessed a positive relationship between a vampire and werewolf. He had always been interested in learning about other creatures, especially those coming from the land. He knew that werewolves and vampires had been natural enemies for a long while so to see a vampire, chasing after (what was assumed to be) a werewolf as if he was worried about them, Ludwig couldn’t help but investigate. So he seated himself on the rock once more, keeping an eye out for the man he met the other night.
Luck was on his side as he heard two men approach, one with the voice of the vampire. Ludwig turned to see those blue eyes looking back at him, a smile growing on the blue-eyed man's face. Beside him stood another man, about the same height as the vampire with untamed blond locks, striking green eyes, and handsome in a strange sort of way. Taking the green-eyed man’s arm, the vampire began dragging said man towards Ludwig.
“Oh bonjour mon ami,” the vampire greeted, “what luck seeing you here! I didn’t get to thank you for the other night. Sorry again for the trouble. I’m Francis by the way.”
The other man stood farther back, arms crossed and a scowl on his face. Francis turned his head towards him, his friendly smile dropping, “Arthur, you really are a beast. At least introduce yourself.”
“I didn’t even want to come over here,” the man, Arthur, growled.
“Ignore my rude lover. He’s just embarrassed that anyone saw him running around like a maniac." So that wolf-creature was a werewolf.
“Francis!”
Francis only continued conversing with Ludwig, ignoring Arthur’s protests. He leaned on the rock, close proximity to Ludwig, making the merman's heart flutter. “So what’s your name mon cher?”
“Ludwig. And it was really no trouble, I’m happy I could help.”
Francis gave him a warm smile. “But still, I feel bad. Let us treat you to dinner or something.”
And so, Ludwig agreed, finding himself unable to say no to the vampire’s charms. Once dressed and transformed, Ludwig and the duo headed into town. Despite Arthur’s stand-offish behaviour at first, at dinner, and after a few drinks, he began to crack, talking more to Ludwig, asking him about his interests, and so on. Francis on the other hand became quiet (much to Arthur’s confusion), admiring the other two and listening in on and occasionally adding to the conversation. Ludwig found himself actually having a good time, which was something he rarely found in social situations, especially with people who were practically strangers to him. When they walked him back to the beach that night and said their goodbyes, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat empty as they walked away.
So he returned to the surface every night and every night, Francis and Arthur stopped by to chat. Ludwig tried to tell himself he was only intrigued by their relationship and perhaps even wanted to be their friend, but deep down, he knew he was also slowly falling for both of them. Why wouldn’t he? They were beautiful in their own ways, both on a surface level and an internal one. Francis was so kind and charismatic. He made Ludwig feel welcomed and never failed to make him smile (or blush). Arthur on the other hand had more edges, but once you got to know him, he was sweet and Ludwig found that he and Arthur had a lot in common.
But they loved each other. Even if they bickered and argued, they clearly cared for each other. The way Francis chased after Arthur under the full moon so he didn’t hurt himself or get caught or when Arthur would help Francis hunt woodland animals for his meals. He couldn’t break up that loving relationship and so Ludwig denied his feelings and pushed them down. That was until one fateful night.
Francis had invited Ludwig out for drinks with himself and Arthur and Ludwig had accepted. Such outings had become quite normal so Ludwig thought nothing of it. Things were going well, as usual, that was until Arthur got a little more than tipsy. He became louder and more handsy, kissing Francis openly and even placing a hand on Ludwig’s knee. When the Brit picked up on the merman’s blush, he gave him a smirk as his hand began to creep up to his thigh. Ludwig’s mind went completely blank as his body froze up unsure how to react. Before he completely lost it, Francis cut in, “Okay amour, I think it's time we head out.”
“But, I was just starting to have some fun,” Arthur slurred, leaning into his boyfriend, though his hand didn’t leave its position on Ludwig. Francis only smiled and strangely enough, it was a genuine one. No discomfort or jealousy to be seen.
“I know, I know, but this is not how a gentleman should act in public.” Francis hoisted Arthur up, wrapping the Brit’s arm around his shoulder. “Ludwig, would you be a dear and help me get him home?”
“O-Okay.”
The trio set out into the night (after Francis paid the bill), Ludwig and Francis practically carrying an inebriated Arthur. Luckily the two lovers didn’t live far from the pub they had gone to so Arthur was home and in bed in no time. “Give me a good-night kiss,” he whined after Francis tucked him in. With a laugh, the Frenchman leaned down, placing a light kiss on his forehead. When Francis pulled away, Arthur turned his attention to Ludwig. “You too?” He asked, innocently looking up at the German. Ludwig found himself at a loss for words and his face heated up once more. He turned to Francis hoping for some help or some hint as to how to deal with the situation.
“This is a little more forward than we had planned Arthur,” Francis teased, “you’re scaring him.” Now Ludwig was only more confused than before. What did he mean by ‘than we had planned?’ Francis wrapped an arm around Ludwig’s shoulder and began guiding him out of the room. “We need to have a talk, Ludwig.”
He was led to the living room. It was as grand as Ludwig had expected elegantly styled after the Victorian Era (how stereotypical). Francis must have caught him looking around. “It was Arthur’s choice. Surprisingly he has good taste when it comes to decor.” He gestured to the sofa and Ludwig took a seat and Francis joined him. “So...To start off, I’m sorry for Arthur’s behaviour. We didn’t want to be that forward...at least not yet.”
“Francis, just get to the point.”
“Okay, Okay….Here’s the thing. Arthur and I like you. Like really like you. The whole point of this outing was to test the waters a bit and build up to a confession. Then Arthur got drunk and any subtly we talked about before was thrown out the window.”
“But you guys do like me?” Ludwig blurted out without even thinking. Suddenly looking at Francis was hard, so he dropped his gaze to his lap.
Francis’ cheeks went pink, but he nodded. “Oui. Putting it bluntly.”
Silence fell over them as Ludwig tried to wrap his head around it all. Arthur and Francis liked him. They wanted to be with him, to date him, to love him. How many nights had he dreamed of holding them in his arms, kissing them, telling them how much he loved them and Arthur and Francis reciprocating just as enthusiastically. It was everything Ludwig had ever wanted, but why was it so hard to come up with a reply? Francis must have picked up on his dilemma, grabbing hold of Ludwig’s hand and taking his chin to guide the merman’s gaze back to him. “I don’t wish to overwhelm you mon cher,” France said gently, “but we do like you. I would love to be doing this with Arthur, but this is too delicate for him to be involved in the state he’s in. So Ludwig? Will you go on a date with us?”
“Y-Yes.”
“You sound unsure. Please, don’t feel pressured. We’re happy to remain friends if that’s what you wi-”
Ludwig cut Francis off, awkwardly crashing his lips into his. When he realized what he was doing, he immediately pulled away, bringing his hand to his mouth out of insecurity. Francis in turn moved Ludwig’s hand away and went in for a sweeter, longer kiss.
“You’re kissing without me?” A tired voice came, interrupting the moment. Arthur stood in the doorway, hair even messier than before, eyes partially closed and pillow hugged to his chest. The other two looked at each other, cheeks a matching shade of pink, before looking back at Arthur. Ludwig had always found Arthur cute, but in this instance, he was absolutely adorable. Best of all, the British werewolf was now his.
Francis shifted away from Ludwig, giving Arthur a spot right in between them. With no protest, he took his place. Francis wrapped an arm around the slender shoulders and gave Ludwig a look, encouraging him to do the same. He was still hesitant, but when Arthur leaned against him, he took that as the last invitation he needed and wrapped his arm around the Englishman. “Can I have my goodnight kiss now?” Arthur asked again. Ludwig found himself smiling at that and agreed to Arthur’s request, placing a light kiss on his temple.
The three sat in silence once more, other than Francis occasionally humming some tune Ludwig and even Arthur didn’t recognize. Ludwig had started running a hand through Arthur’s hair absentmindedly at first, but when the Englishman let out a pleased hum, bringing the action to Ludwig’s attention, he couldn’t stop himself. Soon enough, Arthur was fast asleep and after admiring their sleeping lover, Francis and Ludwig joined him shortly afterward.
Germany Ship Week Day 1: Highschool

Beach
It was a perfect day to go to the beach. The sun was hot, the water sparkled under its rays as the waves softly brushed against the shore, soaking the sand, erasing any footprints left behind as Ludwig and Alfred walked side by side to find the perfect spot to enjoy the day.
It had been a long while since Ludwig had gotten some free time away from his boss and the other countries. He had Alfred to thank for that since a mix of relentless begging and bribery Ludwig finally agreed to take a day off with added encouragement from Feli and Kiku. He had to admit though, he was happy that he took up the offer as he realized it had also been a while since he had some one-on-one time with his bundle of sunshine boyfriend that was Alfred F. Jones.
They found a spot by some rocks not too far from a small path that led back to the picnic and park areas. It gave a perfect view of the rest of the beach and an old stone fort that sat on a small island piece that wasn’t far from shore. There were boats on the water and some ducks who seemed to have been attracted by a couple of kids throwing bread pieces into the water.
As Alfred set up the umbrella, Ludwig set down the beach blanket for them to sit on and placed the beverage cooler and picnic basket on the corners to keep the wind from blowing the blanket away. He moved back a bit to make sure everything was in place when he suddenly felt arms wrap around his waist and a kiss being placed at the back of his neck. It made his face flush pink and turned his head just enough to give a playful glare which was only met with a laugh and that toothy grin that got him in trouble on many occasions.
“So what do you think? I hooked us up with an awesome spot." He pulled away and pointed to the water,“ And the water looks great today !”
Ludwig nodded in agreement, “Ja, perfect day to do some training too…maybe I should check up on the other two to make sure they are doing just that." He pulled his phone out from his pocket but it was snatched from his hands before he could even dial a number.
“Hey!” He whined.
“Not happening, it's your day off which means not worrying about the others," Alfred held the phone behind his back, "So this is going in the bag until we leave. Okay?"
“ How mature of you”
“ Well someone’s gotta keep you focused on having fun and not boring stuff, like training or...Paperwork” He shuddered at just the mere thought of the piles of papers that have been sitting on his desk for weeks now.
“ Well someones got to make sure that italy isnt wasting his time”
“ Relax, he’s got England for that”
“ Oh Ja, that will go swimmingly “ Ludwig rolled his eyes and with a reluctant sigh, he agreed watching Alfred put his phone away into his backpack. He took this chance to move closer to the water, a boat floating by in the distance with its white sails high, catching the wind and pulling it along. Walking a bit further, the water coming up to his ankles, it was cold but soon enough he became used to the temperature.
Alfred came over shivering a bit at the coolness of the water " Speaking of Swimmingly...Wanna go for a swim?" he asked as he willed himself further into the water till he was waist-deep. He held out his hand towards his partner. Ludwig took his hand walking deeper inside feeling the slippery stones under his feet , gripping onto Alfred to make sure he didn’t fall but one of the stones was a little too slippery and he fell into Alfred making them both fall back into the water. Once the initial shock of the fall went away they looked at eachother and fell into a fit of laughter.
“ Are you okay?” Ludwig asked as he pushed his now wet bangs out of his face.
Alfred grinned,“ Never been better, especially since im with you." He caught Ludwig by surprise with a peck to his lips, “plus it looks like you're falling for me."
“ You’re the worst!" His face became red and he clumsily hit Al’s arm in retaliation, causing him to just laugh more.
“ Sorry not sorry."
