Author's note: I cam up with this story after a very surreal dream I had which I don't remember now (I'm not sure if i'm happy about that or not), but I just started writing and came out with this.


Alice had just taken off her boots and her red coat to get ready for bed when Gil walked into her bedroom and locked the door behind him.

"What are you doing, seaweed head? Get out!" she shouted.

"I'm sorry" he replied, "I have something that belongs to you. I only realized I had it recently, and I was afraid to give it back earlier because I was afraid of how you would react. You are so unpredictable" he laughed, but it was a gentle laugh. Alice was confused. Gil was usually so hostile, now he was being… kind, caring. Nice!

"What? Give what back?"

"It turns out my chain, Raven, was holding one of your memories". Gil paused and black feathers began to fall through the air.

"Take your memory back, my Alice" Gil said.

My Alice? She had time to think before the memory engulfed them both.

***

A human Alice and a young Gil sat next to each other on a sofa in Alice's tower room. Jack was walking with Vincent in the grounds, and the two were alone. Softly, Gil stroked Alice's blushing cheek. They were holding hands. They weren't saying anything – just being together was enough. Gil was so thrilled he had found someone who didn't make fun of his tears or call his beloved brother a freak or a curse. Alice was so thrilled she had found someone who didn't hate or pity her, and who let her be herself.

Suddenly, Gil began to lean towards her, seeking out her lips. Yes! She thought, but another voice in her head screamed No!

"What about Jack?" the Will of the Abyss screamed, "If you kiss Gil, Jack won't come to play anymore! And if Jack leaves, do you think the fickle heart of a young boy will stay? What about-"

"Jack" Alice finished her twin's sentence, and Gil stopped leaning towards her, pulling as far away as possible, tears flooding his golden eyes. Alice realized he thought she was stating her preference between the two.

"No!" she shouted, but he was already walking to the door.

"I understand," he said, and the door slammed shut. She broke into tears that coursed hot and shameful down her cheeks. The pain in her chest was unbearable. Her heart was broken. No, shattered. Unfixable. Burying her face in her hands, she screamed to the empty room over and over again "No!"

She heard the sound of Jack rushing up the stairs to see what was wrong, when suddenly-

"Alice? What's wrong?" Cheshire asked, two worried eyes staring into her tear-filled ones.

"Alice is crying. Alice is crying" the dolls around her chattered. The will of the Abyss was now in Alice's body in the other world with her Jack, and Alice had nothing. Not even Cheshire would be able to fix her.

The chain realized her eyes were hot and wet, and that the servant was holding her in his arms in a comforting hug. He was looking at her with loving adoration. They both felt the love that had been theirs a hundred years ago. It was stronger than the bonds that bound them to their master and contractor Oz. Gil looked down at her and was suddenly overwhelmed with desire.

"My Alice" he whispered, undoing the ribbon around her neck. Taking no chances, he quickly leaned in and kissed her with a passion that could have killed them both. It was a kiss they had been waiting a hundred years for, and it was perfect. Gil pulled away and Alice ripped his shirt off, revealing a long scar across his chest. Slowly, she kissed the scar, moving down along the faded red line, then ran her tongue back up, sending shivers down Gil's spine. He took her by the shoulders and laid her down on the bed. He began to unbutton her shirt one button at a time as she lay there staring at him, violet eyes wide with anticipation.

"My Alice" he repeated, and her heart pounded with delight.

"Gil" she replied, and the way she said his name sent fireworks through him. As she sat up to kiss him, he slipped off her shirt and took her in his strong arms, and kissed her with such force she couldn't breathe. Pulling him down to lay over her, she kissed him again. So the night continued as their worlds dissolved in undying lethal passion.

Sharon, Break and Oz stared in shock as Gil and Alice walked into breakfast together, his arm protectively around her shoulders. They stared even harder when Gil helped Alice into her chair, kissed the top of her head, and sat down next to her. They stared harder still, when Alice gave him such a dazzling, loving smile that he blushed, reached out and pulled her towards him to kiss her.

Later, when Oz was elsewhere, most likely reading in the library, and Sharon had abducted Alice for a 'walk in the grounds', most likely so that Sharon could continue teaching her lessons in romance, especially since her pupil had learned so much, Break called Gil up to his office.

"It appears you and B-Rabbit have developed quite a relationship, doubtless due to the memory your chain was holding". Gil said nothing, but waited quietly for Break to continue. Break sighed and said "What do you intend to do about Oz-kun?"

Gil scowled but still said nothing. Break sighed again. "When the needle on Oz-kun's seal completes its revolution, the two will both be dragged into the Abyss, and you will have neither master nor lover. How will you choose when you have no choice at all?" Break pulled a lollipop from him pocket, unwrapped it, and began to chew thoughtfully.

"Who says I have no choice?"
"I do" Break responded, "You are going to lose the one you love to both masters. First you lost her to Jack, now you will lose her to Oz-kun"

"Shut up, Break!" Gil shouted, and stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind him. Muttering to himself, he hurried back to his room. He was sure he could still feel Break's stare through the door. Finally, he got to the corridor where the bedrooms were, and he could no longer feel Break's gaze. Suddenly, he stopped outside his bedroom door. Something felt wrong. He slowly opened the door and froze. Sat on his bed was a pretty young girl with violet eyes and side plaits in her hair. But the girl's hair and dress were white.

"We finally get to meet, Gil!" the Will of the Abyss said.
