A/N: To all of you who followed the story I wanna give you a huge THANK YOU! And to the three of you who reviewed and the three of you who favorited my story, I can't even begin to tell you how happy it made me to know that people really liked my story and took the time to tell me so. (Hint: Reviews make me happy, and happiness makes me inspired. So please review!)

Gilbert didn't focus much on the test, as he was too busy sneaking looks at his best friend. Said best friend was diligently writing on his test, only stopping when he was confused and chewed on his lips. Gilbert had long ago admitted that he had more than friendly feelings for Matthew, and so he had done his best to "woo" his birdie. Every blush and giggle that Matthew gave was a milestone reached in Gilbert's opinion. He was so enraptured with his thoughts that he didn't see his teacher walk up to him.

"Have you finished?" She said, breaking his train of thought.

"Of course I haven't!" Gilbert exclaimed. A few students laughed at this but immediately stopped when Gilbert looked at them.

"Good," she said vindictively, "because time is out." As she said this, she grabbed his paper and tsk'ed at it.
"What little answers you have are frighteningly incorrect, Mr. Beilschmidt. You will stay after class today." She said, smirking as he spluttered out objections.
"All of you must now turn in your tests at the front of the classroom and then you may leave." She said loudly as she walked to the front of the classroom. Everyone groaned but did as they were told.

"Do you want me to wait for you outside?" Gilbert heard a voice whisper softly to him. He didn't have to lift his head to know it was Matthew but did so anyway. Matthew had his head tilted towards him, creating a small curtain of curly blond hair that prevented the teacher from seeing what was happening. Gilbert contemplated for a moment before he nodded.

"Sure, but if crazy face here keeps me too long I give you permission to go on without me, no matter how unawesomely painful it will be for you to go." Gilbert said seriously. Matthew smiled at his words and turned to grab his desk sign.

"Here, you keep it today." He said passing it to him before getting out of the classroom. Gilbert watched him walk out before sighing and getting up, tucking the sign in his notebook.

"You called for me?" Gilbert drawled, almost adding 'your highness' before thinking better of it.

"Yes," she snapped, pointing to a chair by her desk, "your previous teacher had the decency to tell me about your behavior in the classroom and everything done to contain it." She said. Gilbert laughed at her.

"So that's what this is about?" He said, laughing harder at the sight of his teacher's red face.
"I have gone through dozens of other teachers and none of them ever 'got through' to me. Good luck though!" He said as brightly as he could before turning and heading for the door.
"You ready for our next class birdie?" He asked as soon as he left the room.

"If I weren't it wouldn't really matter." Matthew said, trailing off at the end when he realized that Gilbert would just insist they skip class.

"I know, I just asked 'cause you looked so cute there standing nervously." Said Gilbert as he grinned. Matthew blushed and looked down, which was becoming a normal habit whenever he spent time with Gilbert. It was at that moment that a shriek and a thump were heard, causing both boys to glance up and look for the source. What they saw made both of them stop and one of them run.

"Eliza? What are you doing here? And when did you become such a klutz?" Gilbert said quickly, not believing his eyes. The brunette girl in question was sprawled on the floor along with a handful books. 'Eliza' pushed herself off the floor and looked at Gilbert.

"Gil? Is that you? Wow Roderich will never believe it when I tell him!" She said happily before launching herself at Gilbert.
"I can't believe it's you! Last time I saw you we were taking on elementary school bullies! Those were good times." She said in a reminiscent tone. As they both happily caught up, nobody noticed a lone figure in a red hoodie walk away.

Another A/N: To those of you who might have wondered, Matthew's sign is covered with chicks, flames, and polar bears. Thank you AllinahPony for asking this question!
