feeling considerably better. He actually has something for the Turk as a thank you. He knows the other doesn't want anything but he insists.

really doesn't want anything, but he will come visit him again.

will be more than happy to host him properly...this time.

really doesn't think he needs to worry about any of that at all.

can't really help it but will try not too?

can't fault him for it. He knocked on his door soon enough. He had a bottle of wine in his hand.

answers the door on the second knock. He had been making strudel. "Sadik...come in." He smiles.

smiles and holds out the bottle of wine as he stepped inside. "Hello Ludwig, glad to see you on your feet again."

glad he's on his feet again. "It's definitely better." He agrees as he glances at the wine. "Should I get us two glasses in that case?"

raises a brow at the question as he handed the bottle over to the German. "Only if you want to."

|"I assumed that's why you brought the wine. But seeing as it's white I could chill and save it for another day."

shrugs a bit, "it's a gift. I never visit anyone without bringing something for the host."

nods lightly. "I thought we were passed that by now." He says as he takes the wine and heads to the bar to put it in the wine cooler.

shrugged a bit as he he followed him. "We can be... I still wanted to bring it for you."

doesn`t really give that a response besides a quick thank you. "I made strudel...are you hungry?"

noticed that but decides against saying anything as he nodded. "Sure, if you're interested."

quirks a brow at that reply. "Well, of course, I did go through the effort of making it. I also made fresh creme."

(I am so sorry, I have no idea why I wrote that._

( Haha, it's okay. )

( Should we rewind? )

(Yeah maybe xD)

( Alright, go for it. xD)

noticed that but decides against saying anything as he nodded. "Sure, I wouldn't mind joining you for a meal."

smiles lightly. "It's just dessert but it's fresh so I hope you enjoy it." He says as he starts for the kitchen.

follows him and smiles a bit in return. "I am sure I will."

uses the spatula to gently dislodge the strudels from the pan before placing them on a plate. He then goes to the fridge and pulls out the

the creme dishing some out on each strudel before placing a fork on each and taking it to the table placing it down. "Guten appetite."

took a seat and thanked him, waiting for the German to sit down as well before he dug in. He took a bite and smiled, "mm it's delicious Ludwig."

took a seat seconds later as he took his time to appreciate the dessert before taking a bit of his own. He was pleased with the way it had

turned out. His features brighten a fraction at the compliment. "I'm glad you liked. I'll make sure to give you some to take away with you."

glanced over at him as he ate, it was really good. He smiled at the offer. "You don't have to do that."

knows that. "I know but I want too. At least you'll be able to appreciate it."

nods, he couldn't really argue with Ludwig. "So how are things?"

brings his fork down momentarily to contemplate that question. Busy was probably an understatement. "They've been going, what about on your end?"

nods and smiles at him as he took another bite. "Good, I suppose, quiet on the personal front, busy on the work one."

can imagine. The Turk was just as hard working he had noticed. "At least you're keeping busy which isn't a bad thing."

shakes his head, "no it's not a bad thing at all."

takes another bite of his dessert, chewing it slowly. "Do you have any future plans for things to do?"

shakes his head, "nothing personally. How about you?"

gently cuts more into the strudel. "I was hoping to go visit somewhere for the long weekend. Get out of the cold." He admits.

raised a brow as he took another bite of the dessert. It was really good. "You are welcome to come stay with me for the long weekend."

pauses to think about it. Turkey wasn't that far at all it would be very plausible. "How's the weather in Istanbul?"

sets his fork down and nods a bit. "It's warm, sunny. Not to bad actually."

that. "In that case expect a visit..would you like me to plan things we can do or would you like to do that?"

thought about that for a moment, "you can plan if you would like, that way we can see what you want to see.:

"*

nods, he had no problem with that. "I can do that."

smiles a bit and nods, "I'll make sure to cook for you as well then."

's features brighten at that. "Could we grab some donairs from a street vendor. I'd like to try them from your house."

blinks and nods, "sure. I'll take you where ever you want."

had already started making a plan in his head. "I'm looking forward to the visit."

smiled and nodded, "I'll make up the guest room and everything. It will be nice to have company in the house for a bit."

nods. "Don't go out of your way if you don't have too."

shakes his head as he watched him, "not going out of my way at all."

hoped not.

got up and moved onto the bed, he stretched out next to him, moving close and wrapping an arm around him.

hadn't expected that at all and blinks before settling gently against him and placing the book down on his lap to get comfortable.

felt like he needed some kind of comforting, or something.

wonders if that's really the reason but doesn't question him on it. "Let me know when I'm too hot and you need to cool down." His fever

wasn't that high but it was still noticeably so.

blinked at the comment and shook his head lightly as he kissed him on the forehead. "Your fever isn't that bad."

fights the flush that wants to make it's way on his features before tentatively leaning his head on the Turk's shoulder. "That's good..."

shifted to run his fingers through the German's hair and nodded.

sighs, liking that a lot. He lets out a small him and leans into the touch closing his eyes.

kept doing that for a while, he remembered Greece and the other little ones liking it when they'd been sick. Not that he'd done it a lot for them. Normally a servant had.

wasn't going to complain to his comforting actions. "You're going to unravel me..." He chuckles lightly.

raises a brow at that as he glanced over at him curiously. "Unravel you? I think I've done that on a few occasions already."

flushes. "Not that kind of unraveling."

smirks at the flush and lightly touched his forehead again before deciding he was fine. "I should let you rest."

quirks a brow. "I've been resting all day but if you have to go, I understand."

shakes his head, "I just feel like I'm not helping you getting better at all."

can't help but be amused by that. "Unless you have magical powers I doubt you could actually heal me. But I do feel considerably better since you've arrived. Maybe your good health is rubbing off on me." He

knew that wasn't the case but maybe it'd make Sadik feel better.

shifted to get out of the bed, making sure Ludwig stayed tucked in.

settles down glancing up at him. "Thanks for coming anyway." He smiles lightly. "I appreciate it."

returned the smile and nodded, "it's my pleasure Ludwig. I'll hang around for a bit and make you some more meals, I put them in the freezer for you so all you have to do is heat them up."

smiles at him again. "And here you go doing more than you have too. Danke...really."

raises a brow at that and leaned down to pat him on the head. "You don't have to thank me... friends do this kind of thing for one another do they not?"

nods at that. "Ja, I guess they do."

headed for the door smiling a bit to himself. "Maybe when you're better I'll get you to thank me." He was entirely joking of course.

quirks a brow at that and shakes his head lightly. "Of course." There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

headed back down stairs and set about making him at least three meals he could heat up when he wanted them.

decides maybe sleeping some more wouldn't kill him or if it didn't he wouldn't be aware.

finished up his cooking soon enough and made sure to clean up everything and checked on him one last time before he'd leave.

fast asleep.\
