Many people describe Ludwig as punctual, strict, serious, and other synonyms of the word 'boring'. Many think that he isn't fun to hang out with because he's too 'uninteresting' and 'serious'. He also gets a little bit too nervous and tongue-tied when around women. However, there was one thing that made you fall in love with him...
"I'll bake the cake! It'll be 2:00 soon! Today will be filled with sweetness! Apple cake! Eins, zwei, drei!" Ludwig sang in a hushed voice as he walked in the kitchen to check on the cake he's currently baking. As he saw the perfectly baked cake, he slowly took it out of the oven.
"Today's a very important day. I need to prepare the table as soon as possible before mein Liebling arrives," the German said in his usual stern tone while he placed the cake on the table, not forgetting to get the other sweets he made for someone he loves dearly.
"Ludwig! I'm back!" you knocked on the door excitedly, extremely eager to see Ludwig again. Why is this day so important again? Oh, you're going to celebrate being together for a year already!
"Willkommen, (Name)," he opened the door, looking at you with a small smile on his face. Of course, you smiled at him as well before entering the house.
"Ludwig...? What's up with all the sweets on the table?" you asked him with slightly furrowed brows, looking at him curiously.
"I made them for you because it's already our one-year anniversary. Did you forget that?" he held your hand as he averted his gaze.
"Of course not! I was just surprised to know that all of these stuff are meant for me... Thank you, Ludwig. I really appreciate your effort to make me happy," you kissed his cheeks before grinning at him sheepishly.
"Gern geschehen. I'm glad to see you happy like this. Do you want to eat them right now?"
"Sure, I'll eat the cake first!" you immediately rushed to the table and sliced a small part of the cake, placing it on a plate before eating it.
"What do you think? Is it delicious?" Ludwig sat on the chair on the other side of the table. He looked at you while you were happily eating the cake.
"Hm? Is something wrong, Ludwig?" you stopped eating to look at him worriedly. He snapped out of his gaze, trying to hide his worsening blush by trying to look serious.
"Nothing's wrong... I was just thinking about you, that's all," he whispered the last sentence before getting a piece of cake and eating it.
"Really? Am I that beautiful for you to always think about me?"
"Ja, you are," he muttered as he set the plate on the table.
"You're so sweet, Ludwig! I love seeing your cute side so much!" you giggled as you stood up and walked towards him, hugging him tightly.
"W-Why are you hugging me?!" he immediately panicked when you started bombarding his cheeks with kisses, still hugging him.
"Aww... My little pootie-pattie Luddy1 is already nervous! I'm just trying to show how much I love you in my own special way!" you cooed when you noticed his reddening face.
"S-Stop it! It's embarrassing!" the German responded in a somewhat annoyed way when he was finally freed from your bear-like hug. You, on the other hand, was extremely shocked to see him mad at you.
"Huh...? Why are you mad?" you asked, looking at Ludwig with innocent eyes. The German stared at you for a few seconds before he facepalmed and sighed.
"I'm still not used to your affectionate actions, that's why," he finally said the truth. You knew that he'll surrender if you stared at him innocently!
"Don't worry, Herr Ludwig1. I'll gladly hug you until you get used to it!" you offered to help him with a huge grin on your face. You gestured for him to come closer and you opened your arms wide, as if you're going to hug someone.
"Fine, I'll try not to be too nervous," he stated as he wrapped his arms around you. You flushed when you suddenly felt warm and fuzzy inside.
"C-Can you kiss me...? Please?" You muttered as you hid your embarrassment by hugging him tight, hiding your face in his chest. He gazed at you intently before he slowly nodded as an answer.
"Sure. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, mein Schatz," he whispered before he gently placed his hands on your cheeks to make you face him before he locked his lips with yours.
Butterflies kept on exploding in your stomach when you felt his lips touch yours. You closed your eyes as you wrapped your arms around his neck when he started to deepen the kiss. He licked your lips, asking for entrance and you gladly opened your mouth for him. Your tried to fight for dominance, but he won. After a few seconds passed, the two of you finally parted.
"Thank you. Thank you for always being with me, for supporting me, for loving me... Even if I'm a bit annoying and noisy at times, you still chose to be patient with me," you murmured as he gently pressed his forehead to yours.
"You're welcome. It really makes me happy whenever you appreciate everything I do. Ich liebe Dich, (Name)..." he stated bashfully as he removed your arms that wrapped around his neck to lock hands with you instead. You, on the other hand, blushed profusely while you were listening to him. He doesn't act like this often, and it always feels like he's a completely different person every time you see him like this.
"I... I love you too, Ludwig. I love you so much. I always try to find ways to make you feel loved, so please don't get too annoyed whenever I become clingy or too affectionate towards you, okay...?" you told him in a very mild way as you held his hands a bit tighter than before.

"Of course I won't. Besides, you're very precious to me and I don't want to hurt you in any way," he smiles a little when he saw you beam brightly at him. You were always an affectionate person, and your actions never fail to make his heart flutter even more.
"Again, thank you, Luddy1," you thanked him, this time you called him by the nickname you usually call him. He flinched for a bit when you suddenly hugged him, wrapping your arms around his waist since you have to stand on your tiptoes just to reach his neck. He hugged back, lightly stroking your hair.
You can't help but to fall in love with him even more when he becomes very affectionate. Although you're more touchy-feely than him, your heart still beats faster than usual every time he shows how much he loves you. He likes baking sweets, and his actions can be called sweet, so nothing's wrong when you also describe him as 'sweet', right?
