But that wont happen. I'll do better next time, promise D: Spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, short...I just have alot going on right now and I dont have the inspiration and then school is starting back up *gag* but I'll try to update as much as possible, I wont forget :)


Gilbert gave out a large groan/sigh as he collapsed onto the stairs. He put his head in his hands and tried to clear his mind. He had got make it to the bus stop and to the base with out breaking down and turning around and picking Ludwig up.

And...Gilbert thought, it didn't seem real. Like a horrible dream. Maybe he would wake up in his bed with Ludwig sleeping in the next room, or the bank would say ' Guess what? We're going to give everything to you for free! We will provide everthing for you, no need to worry yourselves anymore." Gilbert chuckled dryly. Yeah. Like that would ever happen.

Gilbert got up and brushed the snow off the back of his jeans, he had to get to the bus station before it got too late. He made his way over to the bus stop and waited only a few minutes for the bus, he told the driver to stop at the military base. There was a nod and then Gilbert sat down in a empty seat and stared out the window and watched the city dissapear.

They made it to the base in about an hour. Gilbert made his way off the bus, once he was off it drove away and out of sight. There was no turning back now. He made his way inside of the base, gave his name, was offically signed up and given a room to stay at till boot camp came around. Gilbert walked into his room, which was shared with someone else (a doctor it looked like) and gave it a quick look over. It was small, enough for a bunk bed, two small dressers and a table.

The doctor like man looked up at the albino. " And whom might you be?" Gilbert grinned, oh he was going to have fun with this guy.

"Names, Gilbert. Gilbert Beilschmidt The Awesome." The man sorted

"You can give yourself a title when you make it to a higher ranking officer- if you even make it past boot camp. I can tell you're a very cocky guy and that wont get you anywhere. You're self confidence and pride will be shot down the second you walk into the camp."

Gilbert frowned "What a downer."

"Just giving you a reality check."

"Well here's a reality check for you Mr. Stick Up His Ass, you're a prick." The man rolled his eyes

"How mature of you. My name is Dr. Roderick Edelstein."

"Ah, well, better get the stick removed from your ass, it seems to be turning you into an ass, or were you just born that way cause you're one fugly dude."

Dr. Edelstiens mouth fell open but then closed it and readjusted himself "I think the military would be good for you. Straighten you out."

"Oh I don't think anyone can do that, I was born that way."

The doctor gave him a confused look and was about to voice it but stopped, noticed the way the albino said it then looked away face flushed then mumbled "So that's you're curse, huh?"

Gilbert jumped up and grabbed a hold of the doctors shirt and lifted him out of his chair, "What did you say?" He snarled. Silence. "That's what I thought. Since you're a doctor, so you should be smart right? Well, I'm gonna give you a lesson you wont forget."

Gibert smirked at Roderick as he held a ice pack up to his swollen cheek. "You could get kicked out for this." Gilbert rolled his eyes and looked down at Roderick from the top bunk. "You wont do that."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"I didn't come here just cause I thought it would be fun or running away...well...I guess you could call that a reason."

"Does your family not approve?"

"No parents and I just gave my seven year old to the nearest orphanage cause I couldn't take care of us. I sold everything and left it in a bank with his name on it so he'll have something from me."

Roderick didn't say anything for a few seconds "I'm sorry. Really." Silence passed over them and both of them welcomed it. Gilbert turned over and stared at the wall. He hoped he could make it through boot camp. He had to, he didn't have anything left. Gilbert shut his eyes and thought about Ludwig and how he was doing...as he thought he eventually trailed off to sleep.
