Darker city (attn. Anyone)

Ivan blinked, before he felt sudden pain inside his whole body, and almost collapsed then and there, but managed to only fall on his knees.
Why this happens always in situations like these...!? Only because I'm.... I'm....
The pain slowly faded away, and Ivan took couple of deep breaths.

Ludwig paused and turned to see the man on his knees. Rushing over Ludwig knelt down next to him.

"Are you alright?" Ludwig asked, quickly doing a small body check.

"I'm fine....." He nearly whispered, still shaking slightly.

"Come on." Ludwig says and pulls the man up with him, lightly patting his back, right between his shoulder blades.

Ivan froze for couple of seconds because of the patting on his back, because the German might've felt two starts of wings on his back.

Ludwig gave a small smile, not noticing the wings or the man freezing. "Are you alright, sir?" Ludwig asked again, just making sure.

Ivan relaxed and took a deep breath before nodding.
"I'm fine..." Even though was still very slightly shaking.

Ludwig smiles before beginning to walk away again, feeling funny about leaving him. 'If I got attached to a stranger again. UGH! It was enough trouble with the last fellow but this man?' He though and let out a sigh.

He stood there for a moment, taking another deep breath, looking at the ground.

Ludwig got down the alley and out of sight before collapsing and curling up. "looks like I'm sleeping here tonight.... Find Gilbert Beilchmidt, 'kay?" Ludwig asked, releasing the bird. Getting a reassuring peep he watched it go and closed his eyes to sleep.

Ivan stayed on his spot for a while, keeping his eyes closed, and taking deep breaths. Then stood up straight and opened his eyes.

I should get going.... He thought, but for some reason, he didn't move anywhere.

Ludwig let his breath even out and he fell asleep, not caring that he was in an alley. 'Gilbert's going to be mad... I wonder who that man was... I wonder what his name was... I wonder if I have a life...' He thought a bunch of tired thoughts as he lost full contact.

Ivan sighs as he finally turned back, walking to the direction where he came from, then blinks when notices the German on the ground.

Ludwig breaths heavily through his open mouth, drooling slightly as he lays there. Muttering and shifting he turns away from Ivan.

Ivan got closer and crouches down next to the German.

Ludwig continues his regular breathing and pulls the cloak tighter, as if a blanket.

Carefully Ivan reaches his hand forward, and slightly petted the man's back.

Ludwig lets out a soft whine before shifting his wings a bit.

Blinks.

He.... He's an angel....?

Ludwig shifts his wings again before settling and muttering.

Ivan moved his hand along the man's head a bit.

"Not like me....." He whispered accitendly out loud.

Ludwig shifts and slowly blinks, trying to get use to the light. Staying silent he frowned, wondering what woke him up.

Ivan didn't notice that the man woke up while he was thinking. He kept stroking the man's head though.

Ludwig closes his eyes and thinks he's home. Ludwig starts purring softly and leans to the others touch.

Ivan slightly blushed at the purring, but kept stroking.
