"Please, Gilbert," Break chuckled, "That flower vase never insulted you! You aren't a seaweed head but you are truly an awful drunk!"

Oz had been gone six months. He'd followed Alice into the abyss. Break hoped they were alright, but at the same time, wished Gilbert would be happy with the consequences.

He'd gotten in the wine at least once a week since Oz departed and Break had promised Sharon he'd watch over the younger man.

Sharon…that was a sensitive subject for Break. He'd known they didn't have much time left but he'd expected to die before her…she'd died shortly after Oz left.

So now it was only Break and Gilbert. Sometimes Break wished he could get drunk himself and forget about everything. Without Sharon, he had no comfort.

Gilbert, at one time, would have been enough to keep him happy, but now he was tearing himself apart and he didn't know how much more he could take.

Eventually the yelling stopped and Break took Gil back to his room. It was messy and unorganized, photos filling the floor as he tried to remember as much about his master as possible. It was hopeless, Gilbert was heartbroken.

Break laid him on the bed and left the room, returning to the balcony to think.

He plopped a piece of hard candy into his mouth, savoring the sweetness of the cherry flavor. Sharon used to always say he liked sweets because that was the only sugar he had left in his life. More and more now he thought of this now that she was gone.

The wind blew a little bit as he bit the center of the candy.

"Master Break?" the new maid followed him onto the balcony, holding a squirming Emily. "She was crying. Did you forget about her again?"

"Yes Natalie, thank you." The blonde set Emily on his shoulder and turned to leave. Break almost wished she would stay, that she would save him from this awful world, save him from himself and the silence his thoughts thrived in.

"Xerxes," Emily still was sobbing on his shoulder, "You still care about me don't you?"

"Of course, Emily," He smiled at her. "I always will."

Emily wasn't fooled by his smiles of assurance and sat silent for awhile.

What would it be like? Break thought to himself to be a doll like Emily?

He shook his head. Emily couldn't truly cry…but could he? Physically, of course, but his mind wouldn't allow it. His soul knew that deep down he couldn't hurt Gilbert like that.

Why was he thinking about Gilbert? True, he was a friend, but he was heartbroken over Oz like Break was over Sharon. It would never work between them…but at the same time…

He left the balcony and grabbed something from the refrigerator before heading into Gilbert's room.

Gil was on his side, hugging the hat Ada had given him so long ago. He was peaceful while he slept, dark hair falling into his face as he dreamed. The golden eyes that showed his inner turmoil closed, hiding his hurt.

Break set something on the bedside table and bent down to kiss the other man's lips.

"Sleep soundly, Gilbert," he smiled, "Tomorrow will be better, I promise."

------------------------------------------------

Gilbert rubbed his eyes as he slowly awoke. He looked out the window at the sun clearly shining.

His eyes drifted to the bedside table. A small cheesecake heart with a strawberry beside it sat on a small china plate, waiting for him.

"Break?" he asked, expecting the man to appear out of nowhere. When this didn't happen, he straightened his clothes and headed out to the balcony, holding the cake in his hand.

He was just looking for a fork when he noticed Break at the tiny glass table out on the balcony. He sat next to a stack of empty plates and Emily was across the table from him.

His head was in his hands and he was crying, silently. Emily was silent as well. Had they not wanted to wake him?

"Break?"
