It's no problem, I can do this, I'm just writing it for school. *deep breath*This story turned out much happier than I intened by the way. Like, way and if you don't like the style of writing in this chapter, don't worry, it will be diffrent in the next one. Oh, and sorry for making Prussia so OC, I havn't ever written him before. And sorry for all the errors in grammer, I have no beta...
Matthew was a blond male 16 year old high school student, he was a musician, he had a pet bear, his brother was the star of the baseball team, and he wore glasses. But more importantly he was single.
Gilbert was the albino male 17 year old high school student, he had a pet bird, his brother was leader of the drill team, and was the self-proclaimed most awesome person in the whole universe. But more importantly he was single too, and he wanted to change that.
The first note wasn't exactly a note in the definition that it used words to communicate a message. Delivered near the end of January, it was a piece of paper with a drawing of several polar bears playing hockey, at the bottom there was a blushing smiley face. Matthew had been surprised to needlessly say, he put the picture in his red hoodie temporarily but didn't know what to make of it.
Gilbert, who was only a friend of Feliciano, at that time, commented on how awesome of a picture it was and asked if he knew where it came from. He agreed that it was indeed very awesome but confessed he didn't know who made it.
Was it his imagination or did Gilbert look slightly relived?
The next one was a week later and was a picture of a polar bear playing a violin, the instrument of his choice, and another smiley but the blushing was even deeper and there was a tiny heart floating by his head. His reaction was nearly the same as the first except he now knew where to place his new picture, carefully right next to the other one in his binder, and as he did so his eyes softened at the edges in an implacable emotion.
Gilbert, who this time was a closer friend, didn't say anything. He looked at the picture and at Matthew with slight amusement and helped steer him clear of the places where he would get stares because of the notes he had been given.
Gilbert showed him exactly which places to avoid in the school so expertly it was almost as if he knew from experience. He stuttered something about movies and how he learned about bully patterns from them. He doubted those movies told him to avoid the science hall in the mornings and instead go the longer (but safer) route through the health hall, but he didn't question it.
Merely a few days after that it was a polar bear sleeping under a tree covered in icicles and hearts sprouting out of the branches. By now he had figured out that the person that was delivering these notes was a secret admirer, he had also looked at these pictures so often that he had put in a new divider in his binder for them and he quickly slipped the picture into there. Unfortunately he wasn't quick enough and a few around him noticed and started muttering.
When Gilbert, they were friends enough that they had hung out after school a few times, had asked to see the picture; he sat next to him and opened the binder just enough for him alone to see. Gilbert chuckled slightly and made a comment on how this guy was smooth.
Matthew asked him how he knew it was a guy and Gilbert stammered a bit and said something on how the polar bear looked to manly to be made by a girl then he took a drink of his soda and asked if he wanted to go get something to eat.
However some certain students took notice in the pictures no matter how secretive he was trying to be or how he was invisible to everyone before a boy (or so Gilbert said) took interest in him. Luckily his Alfred took notice of the whispering followed his brother and hung around (dragged his little twin Mattie around with his friends) a bit more, which made things quiet down.
A week later the second to last picture was delivered, it was simply a heart cut out of construction paper with drawings of falling maple leaves and a polar bear holding a heart. His admirer must have caught on to the whispering and he delivered it to the locker so that Matthew would find it during the time of day that the hallway would be the least busy and noticing of a slightly blushing boy hiding a piece of paper among his books.
Gilbert didn't even have to ask to see the picture. At their lunch table surrounded by their meager group of friends, Ludwig, the Vargas twins, Roderick, and Elizaveta, so the outside world would have to try harder to see as the friends had to try hard not to smile.
Matthew had been given a new nickname by Gilbert, he was now dubbed Birdie and only the most awesome person could call him that. Gilbert had shown him his bird named Gilbird and he had shown Gilbert his bear Kumajiro, of course Gilbert may have been just a little more surprised on his Birdie's choice of a pet than his Birdie had been on his. He wouldn't admit it though, no matter how much Matthew brought up the fact that he had screamed and hid behind a wall.
Their friends observed their behaviors very closely however out of the group only one person really knew. That person smiled as he observed how close Gilbert was sitting to Mattie and he offered to have everyone over for pasta because he had found a new recipe of a tomato sauce that he needed an opinion on. As the others said if they would or wouldn't go he saw Gilbert wait for Matthew's response before giving his own.
In a short while it was about time for the last note to be sent.
Gilbert took a deep breath as he stood in front of Matthews's locker.
He could do this.
Sorry for all the errors in grammer, I have no beta...Please review, I'm counting on your words for a grade and to improve my writing (and I really need to improve my writing). Flames are accepted as well, because they will be amusing to talk about in class.
