Theme 1: Introduction
Character: Gilbert Bielschmidt
He wasn't sure how he had gotten himself into this. One moment, he was casually joking around with Tonio and Francis, the rancid alcohol flowing as freely as their laughter. Within the next instant however, his eyes were snagged by that female, a face he would have never noticed before. Maybe it was the way her hair was falling, or the mildly insecure expression shining in her mesmerizing eyes. But there was something about her that drew him in. He didn't think. He moved. His feet walked him over, his mind oblivious to anything else. He was only devoted to her and her alone. She was still tarrying near the doorway when he finally reached her, her eyes scanning the room in earnest.
"You seem lost, Fraulein."
She jumped at his nearness, his voice almost reminding her of a rake against stones. Startled himself, he cleared his throat, a pale hand extending towards her. "My name's Gil… Maybe I can help you?"
A bright smile followed, one that nearly took his breath away. "Thank you…" Her voice was filled with relief, weight seeming to fall off of her shoulders and make her that much more beautiful. "(Y/n)… And I am very lost."
He grinned, bringing her hand to his lips when she accepted him. He nearly chuckled at the slightly flustered heat that crossed her cheeks at his touch, but he ignored it in favour of trying to restrain his own. "Maybe you're not lost at all, (Y/n)."
She rolled her eyes, a light and playful laugh following. "Don't tell me you're one of those cheesy romantics."
I may just be, (Y/n)… I may just be…
