Crying
Gilbert Beilschmidt was convinced that it was completely unawesome to be crying, especially after he saw his boyfriend, well, now ex-boyfriend, Roderich cheating on him with his best friend Elizaveta. Well, to be precise, he saw them together over a year ago, but had never really gotten over it. He hated Roderich. He hated Elizaveta. He hated everyone who was happy for them. Every last one of them.
Gilbert whimpered as more tears came cascading down his flushed cheeks. They were like the armies that he pretended to command with his toys as a kid; they were relentless. "I'm pathetic." Gilbert mumbled angrily, "Fucking specs, and fucking Elizaveta, it's been one fucking year since we broke up, and I still can't get over him!" Gilbert then fell onto the bed so he could cry himself to sleep, but he heard the crack of the dorm door opening, and buried his head into his pillow when the light from the hallway hit his sensitive crimson eyes.
Although Gilbert couldn't see who was coming into the room, he knew that it was his roommate Frederick by the sound of the tall man's footsteps. "Gilbert?" the strawberry blond man asked gently, "Are you okay?" Gilbert hiccupped in response, and he heard Frederick make his way towards the bed and felt him sit down on the edge of the bed. Gilbert didn't even protest when Frederick began to stroke his hair and murmur comforting things to him; a gesture that would have normally warranted Gilbert brushing him off and proclaiming how "The awesome me is to cool for comfort!" and occasionally interspersed with too loud laughter that he hoped wouldn't betray what he was really feeling.
Two hours and one tissue box later, Gilbert had finally exhausted himself from crying, and was half- asleep on his friend's lap. Frederick himself was nearly asleep also, so he pulled a blanket onto both of them, and closed his eyes. Gilbert then snuggled into his chest and murmured a quiet "Thank you", and Frederick nodded in response, too tired to respond. They both fell asleep.
