Gilbert's eyes fluttered open at the sound of a familiar pocket watch tune. He turned to shut the golden watch Oz had agreed to lend him for the week, as his finger tips touched the cool metal a light blush and small smile spread across his face at the memory of the day him and Oz had found this fateful watch together. That was one of the last times he had seen his master before, he stopped himself before finishing the thought. Today he wasn't gonna let anything trouble his mind he had better things to focus on. As he sat up in bed he glanced out the window and saw that the sky was turning from a navy blue to a light purple. He had found a way to set up an alarm on the pocket watch just so he would be able to get up early enough to prepare a special cake. As he stepped out of bed and got dressed he could feel nervous butterflies growing in his stomach. He tied his hair back and slipped on his apron looking at the calender hanging in his room. There was a red circle drawn with marker around today's date, Valentine's day. Today he was determined to give a token of affection to his dear Master. He had kept his feelings secret for 12 long years and it was finally the day to tell him!

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Gilbert peered inside the oven to check on his precious cakes. He had spent a good 2 hours preparing them from scratch. The recipe was very intricate and these cakes had to be especially perfect. It was Oz's favorite flavor, Lemon Poppy seed. The cakes were almost done, in the meantime Gil prepared the frosting; he was making a special hazelnut french vanilla buttercream icing that he had made once and Oz had loved. Gill recalled the memory, he had left the kitchen to go check on his master but he hadn't been in his study. When he came back Oz had eaten almost all the frosting he had prepared. Had it been anyone else Gil would have thrown a fit, but he just couldn't get mad at his master. Not with those big green eyes and that smile that made Gil's mind go blank, plus he had all that white frosting smeared around his mouth... Gilbert snapped out of the daydream his face a crimson red. Honestly thinking such things, a servant should never have such fantasies about his master! What was wrong with him? Was it his nerves? Yeah, it was just the butterflies he thought frantically. He then realized he had been whisking the frosting vigorously. He took the cakes out of the oven and let them set before frosting them. He took great care to make the frosting smooth and perfect. He Then added the fine detailing. grateful for the time Break tricked him into signing up for that baking class. He had lots of extra time while waiting for his Master's return, and the classes had actually proved to be useful. He concentrated as he added the last touch with a red frosting bag. He sighed and wiped his forehead, he had finally finished after 7 hours of tedious cake making. He glanced at the clock, ACK! Was it really that late? Oz would be waking up soon! He carefully placed his masterpiece inside a white box and tied a red ribbon around it. He sighed at his poor bow tying skills and thought about asking Alice for help. No! How could he do that, then he would have to explain what was inside the box...

"Good Morning~!" The voice startled Gilbert and he spun around, his face a bright scarlet color, to see break chuckling behind him. "Aww did I scare the little boy? My apologies," Break snickered.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE? WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Gil shot back his face still flushed.

"Aren't you cranky today?"

"Sh-shut up" Gil stammered.

"Hmmm? Well I only just came down because I thought I smelled something yummy but it appears I was too late. Too~ Bad~!" Break said in his sing song voice.

"...There's still some frosting left if you want" Gil said recovering from his flustered state

"So when are you going to give that to Oz-kun?" Break said maliciously. All of the blood surged back to Gil's face, he looked at Break with shock and embarrassment visible in his eyes.

"Bre-Break you jerk!" He screamed grabbing his box with the lopsided bow and running off tears collecting at the corner's of his eyes. He ran to his room, slammed the door, and set the box down on the desk slowly. A movement in the corner caught his eye, but when he turned to look all he saw was his reflection in the mirror. It was pitiful, his face was bright red and tears welled up in his golden eyes. He slipped off his apron as worries raced through his mind. What if Break told everyone? Why did he have to ruin everything? What if confessing to Oz was a mistake? Gilbert felt his determination slipping. No, he had to do this no matter what, today was the day he would tell Oz he had always loved him!

Oz reluctantly opened his eyes, he hated it when he woke up early. It meant that Gil wouldn't come in and touch his shoulder gently to wake him up, Oz loved Gil's smiling face being the first thing he saw when he woke up. But how could Oz sleep now with all the commotion in the house? He heard pots and pans earlier and now there was screaming and a door slammed somewhere in the distance. He sighed and pulled himself out of bed, he reached for the watch but his hand only felt the smooth wood of his bedside table, he looked down panicked. Had someone stolen it while he was asleep? Suddenly he remembered he had lent it to Gil a few days ago. He sighed in relief, why did Gil want it anyway? Oz decided to go ask him himself, Gil was most likely already done making breakfast and would be doing the dishes. Oz quickly got dressed and headed downstairs, he saw Break and Sharron sitting at the table."Good morning!" Oz said shooting the two a bright smile.

"Good morning, you seem to be in a good mood," Break replied. What was that Oz detected in his voice? Was he teasing him? What would he possibly be teasing him about? He hadn't even overslept today. He must have misread Break's tone.

"Do I?" Oz asked obliviously, he always put on a smile; it was his protection blanket for as long as he could remember. Oz thought to himself, when did his smile become a mask instead of being genuine?

"Oz? Are you alright?" Sharron questioned him interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh yeah sorry!" Oz blurted scratching the back of his head, "Oh by the way, where is Alice?"

"Hmmm~? Is there a reason you are looking for the young lady on such a day as today?" Break smirked.

"She is still asleep in her room," Sharron answered. Heh, of course Alice managed to sleep through all the noise this morning Oz thought to himself. And what in the world did Break mean by 'on a day like today?' as hard as he tried Oz didn't know why today was so significant. Then he noticed that there was no breakfast made, was Gil still asleep? Impossible. Plus Oz thought he smelled cake, which was Break's usual morning meal, maybe they had already finished without him?

"Oh I think Gil is looking for you~!" Break chirped with excitement.

"For me? Oh I wonder why, I'll go see if I can find him thanks!" Oz called over his shoulder as he ran up to Gil's room.

Sharron sipped her tea, "I hope it goes well," she whispered.
