Chapter 9:

When Ludwig had stomped out, Feliciano couldn't help but follow his boyfried. He trailed behind him as he went down hallway after hallway and stair case after staircase until they arrived at the basement's laundry room door. On the way down the steps they could hear their neighbors clothes tumbling around in the washers and dryers and with every step it got louder and louder.

Feli was always the one most prone to being scared as well as scaring himself. Now he was here where there were loud rattling machines in a darkly lit (probably) spider infested basement.

He fell over in fright before the last step.

Ludwig had gone ahead and put down the laundry basket on top of a running machine because they all seemed to be in use. The neighbors, just like Ludwig, must have realized that with the snow storm the power won't be staying on for long.

Then he saw Feliciano whimpering on the steps. Feliciano felt the familiar pressure of the Germans arms around him and he began to clam down. He knew that there wasn't anything in this basement his Ludi couldn't save him from. He had to keep reminding himself of that.

"It's just the laundry room, Feli. Nothing to be afraid of." Ludwig whispered and released him from the hug

"I know, but it't dark and scary down here." he paused, "But it's fine 'cuz you're here!" he chirped and dove back into his boyfriends embrace. They held each other for a minute before the Italian found himself being pulled into a brief chaste kiss.

Then another… and just a couple more… and a few more after that until the kiss no longer could be considered brief nor chaste by anyone's standard. Now Feliciano was pressed against the side of the wall on the stairs by Ludwig's hot body like one of the nearby irons.

They jolted as a washing machine squeaked and sighed as it spun to a stop behind them. Ludwig, like the responsible person he is, abruptly pulled from the kiss to do the laundry. Feli watched as his boyfriend pulled out a neighbors clean clothes and put them in an empty dryer and loaded some of the clothes into the now vacant washer.

Feliciano, seeing that the other was almost done with his work, walked over to the row of washers. He rested a hand on the white lid of a washing machine, leaned over, tilted his head and gazed into Ludwig's wonderful ice blue eyes.

Feliciano's heart was beating fast and it echoed in his ears along with the washers and dryers around him. He leaned farther over the washing machine and kissed Ludwig. With his lover and a smile on his lips he felt so incredibly lucky that it overwhelmed him and he just had the urge to show how thankful he was.

He hurriedly began to unbutton the German's shirt as they kissed, feeling the others pale white chest as the kiss progress. Then he pulled off his own shirt, only separating from Ludwig for a split second before their lips pulled together once again. Their lower halves felt the pull as well and pressed together.

They both knew what was going to happen, it's happened many times before, but there was a mood about them making them want to switch it up some how.

Ludwig suggested a plan that would do just that, "Feli," he gasped, "I've been meaning to ask," he took another breath, "If you wanted," he kissed Feliciano neck and whispered, "top me this time?" Then the German averted his eyes in embarrassment and blushed so much that the pink spread all the way to his ears.

The Italian teen hadn't thought about it before but he was always on the receiving end. Now was his chance to change it up. He nodded enthusiastically in reply.

Ludwig pulled away slightly, reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a bottle of lube. Feli chuckled to himself; his boyfriend was so prepared! Speaking of prepared, he began preparing himself… on top of the washer.

Feliciano was surprised at how long it took, for him it doesn't take long at all, and by the time his boyfriend was ready he had been flushed with desire far past his limit.

Perched atop the washer, Ludwig's expression told Feli to start. They knew each other well enough that, at times like these, words were unnecessary. When Feliciano began to slowly push in he realized two things. One, Ludwig was just as full of lust as he was and Two, that means he didn't have to go slowly… so he didn't.

Feliciano thrust in and out at an unsteadily until his hips adjusted to the new set up. Of course the wasting machine rumbling beneath him didn't help him either. However, when he found his rhythm he couldn't help but wonder why it took so long for him to try this, it was so good! Luckily Ludwig's face showed that he was enjoying himself as well. That only make him start pounding harder.

Ludwig Leaned forward to kiss Feliciano and that only increased both of their desire so Feli had to speed up until he didn't hunk his hips could take it much longer. Ludi came first with a small moan of his lovers name and accidentally knocked over the rest of the laundry in the basket but both of them had their minds rather preoccupied at the moment so neither noticed.

Feliciano came next in a flash of pleasure, blinding his senses. He thrust a few more times in attempt to keep that feeling but it was in vain. The pleasure previously felt dissipated but the feeling of love didn't. It could even be said that it grew.

They pulled together in a gentle kiss and panted in exhaustion, not daring to move so soon.

However, they quickly became attentive when they heard a small noise coming from the stairs. They turned around in time to see Lovino and Antonio stupefied at the top of the steps.

Lovino dropped his basket.

Then, without warning, the lights, washers, dryers and everything around them shut off. The power was out and everything was dark and quiet. The only exception was that of the laundry basket tumbling down the stairs.

So yeah… ItaGer… I "switched it up" if you will.

My friend the CheshireKitKat suggested it, so thanks again :)
