Summary
Perhaps Ludwig has gotten too used to such marital bliss, too comfortable with the little changes that are invisible yet whole. Perhaps that is why he’s in his current state: Perplexed, staring after Alfred’s leaving figure. From the doorway, he watches Alfred laughing into the phone and shutting the bedroom door.
He tries to shake it off. His hand instead cups his cheek as if to compensate for a sensation that isn’t there.
He shouldn’t be bothered by this. It’s something small, miniscule even. Most wouldn’t notice it, that break in routine.
or, ludwig is grumpy at work because his husband didn’t kiss him goodbye

Summary
Alfred gets sick at a world meeting, and as it turns out, it’s not just any sickness. It seems that Alfred has the infamous Hanahaki Disease, a disease that’s deadly to humans. There’s speculation about who it is that Alfred likes so well, but Arthur isn’t happy with the situation. After all, if those white rose flower petals are a representation of Alfred’s love, then the person who Alfred likes so well must be a pure and innocent person… AKA not Arthur, right?
A story about misunderstandings and centuries of pining.
