Matthew walked up to the movie theater to meet his boyfriend gilbert for their second monthly date night. Since matthew was busy with university courses and gilbert with the cafè he and his friends (francis and antonio) opened after they graduated high school and it also happens to be the place where they met for the first time.

It was after hours and gilbert was just about done cleaning for the night "almost done, maybe a quick break is in order" he thought. he went to get himself a cup of coffee so he could finish cleaning. As he went to pick up a cup he heard a quiet tapping on the window bye the front door

" was ist es jetzt"

gildert walked to the front of the cafè just as he got there was a flash of lightning and he saw a figure in the window that made him jump

"THE FUCK!"

Gilbert then vary slowly walked up to the front door and opened it to reveal someone who was soaked to the bone he also appeared to be about the same age as Gilbert, but he looked rather lonely.

"Hey you ok kid"

"Y-y-ya j-just co-o-ld"

"You want to come in to warm up and dry off"

"Oh…. ah… no I wanted to…. Knew wh-where I Am?"

Gilbert stared at him in shock for a while "is he lost" he wondered. After he realized he had been staring at the poor kid for a while he answered

" Hedley street"

" STUPID FUCKING AL" he yelled suddenly

Gilbert was taken aback 'well that was unexpected'

Gilbert looked and him for a moment before he asked timidly

"Are you lost?" Gilbert asked

"Uh..m-my brother dropped me off at the store down the street to get so food and said he would be back in five minutes to pick me up. He must have forgotten. Ha again" he said the last part in a whisper.

"So do you want to come in to get warmed up. I'll be leaving soon so want me to drive you home."

"Uh sure thanks"

The kid walked in and gilbert ran to get him a towel to dry himself off with, he tossed it to him and then he went to get two cups of coffee. As he was walking back Gilbert thought 'he looks a little pissed, upset, worried, and kind of cute,wait, when did I start thinking he was cute' he then placed two cups of coffee on the table

"My names Gilbert. Gilbert Beilschmidt"

"Matthew. Matthew williams" Matthew said quietly

" So Matthew does this happen often. Your brother forgetting you that is"

"Oh um quite often actually"

Matthew said with a slight blush on his cheeks

That was about two to three months ago now. Just as Matthew was about to text Gilbert (he was late as usual) he came running to Mathew and then proceeded to jump in too his arm's which Matthew was not prepared for and they both ended up falling backwards Gilbert landing on Mathew.

"Damit GIL stop jumping on me. I nearly cracked my head off the pavement"

"Aww don't worry birde you're tougher than that"

Matthew sighed, a little annoyed at gilbert for assuming that even a hockey player wouldn't be hurt by pavement.

"Anyway your late did you and the guys have a big party to cater for?"

"Ja we did, some rich dude was getting married"

"Well at least they had great food, even if they have about a 50% chance of staying married more than six months"

"Kesese, you got that right Birde"

Gilbert looked a little concerned

"Yeah I might have a headache in the morning but I'm fine"

Gilbert laughed as a look of relief came over his face after matthew had said that

"You never change do ya birde" he said with a smile

Matthew smiled, a warm smile that made the night sky look brighter than it actually was, Gilbert thought.

"Hahaha. Can you get off me, then we can go and watch a movie. Ok"

"Oh… ya sure. What movie are we going to see. I'll let you pick since I was late. My treat"

Matthew had to laugh at that, this happens too often that it became normal for matthew to pick the movie's when they went out on these date nights.

" well I guess I should have expected this it always happens"

"Kesesesesese ya well you know I'm a little slow at somethings"

Mathew look Gilbert in the eyes and said very seriously

"No" he shook his head "you're just special. My kind of special"

As matthew said that he was looking at gilbert's and could see his cheeks turn a little pink. He had to smile at that it was cute. Matthew sighed he had so much on his mind right now he didn't really care what movie they saw as long as he got home so he could sleep off the headache he has.

"I'll let you pick the movie tonight, but nothing too long" He said tiredly.

Gilbert looked over to Matthew with a quizzical look 'well this is weird he normally would pick a really long one to torture me with' after a few minutes of internal debate Gilbert decided to ask what was which Mathew sighed and responded with "Just tired that's what movie do you want to see"

Gilbert looked at him a little longer seeing whether he was lying or not but couldn't really tell Matthew keep looking sighed if matte wasn't going to tell him then then he wasn't going to force him to tell him.

"Ok fine you don't have to tell me I won't force you to tell me. As for a movie why not "THE LEGO MOVIE" you know since I get to pick"

Matthew had to smile at that. Gilbert always manage to do that even if Matthew felt like crying Gilbert would somehow manage to make him smile and laugh

"Sure why not. I hear it got good reviews from Arthur or so said my brother"

"WHAT! REALLY! ARthur watched it? I highly doubt that"

Gilbert said shaking his head in disbelief. Matthew laughed at his reaction but said

"Ya tha...that's what i said to…..too alfred but" he took a deep breath to calm himself

"Alfred claims it's true"

Gilbert payed for the tickets and went in to find their seats asked

"Did you call Arthur and ask him"

Matthew sighed "No haven't had much time lately"

Gilbert looked at him for some time to really take in how he looked

'Bags under his eyes, pale skin, and it looks like he hasn't eaten much. Are his courses really that hard.'

He was going to ask matthew about it but just at that moment the movie started 'I'll ask him after the movie'

-Matthew's Front Door-

(Gilbert forgot to ask go figure, too excited about the movie~ geash GILBERT such a kid)

"That was such an awesome movie Kesesesese"

Matthew laughed "Really gil? you were more excited then most of the kids in the theater"

Gilbert looked to the side and started to rub that back of his neck, something he does when he's embarrassed.

"Ya.. well… you know… it was really good and funny" Gil said well trying to hid his blush (and failing) they were standing in front matthew's apartment building, there standing there talking when matthews phone goes off.

"It's a text from Alfred ~sigh~ he and Arthur had a fight again"

Gilbert snorted "what's this like the tenth time this month!?"

Matthew half laughed/half snorted "yeah pretty much"

"Are you going to text him back? Or just stare at your phone?"

"What … oh..a... no i'll text him tomorrow morning before classes start"

Gil sighed and hugged matte 'he needs sleep' Gil was worried about Matthew but knew he could take care of himself. He gave matthew a passionate kiss goodnight before walking back to the bus stop to get a ride to his apartment, which was four block away.

Matthew stood there watching Gilbert Gilbert was out of sight he turned around and started up the stairs to his apartment. He looked at the mesage his brother had sent.

"Hey bro can i crash at your place for like two weeks.

I kind of piss Arthur off this morning when he was cooking breakfast

For us after our….ah date night."

That's something Matthew didn't want to think about right now.

"I'll text him is the morning, I need to try a get some sleep"

Lately Matthew hasn't gotten more then maybe two hours of sleep a night and it was really starting to get to him, he had three projects due in two weeks plus he has two part time jobs to pay the rent of his apartment and his schooling, and with his brother costly coming over for "relationship help" he was starting to think he might end up a living corpse by the end of the week.

"I just hope my habit doesn't start up again"

Matthew walked to his bedroom, changed into his pejays and tried to get some sleep.

But much to his disappointment he didn't get much.
