"Hmm.." Sharon mumbled to herself. She looked around as if she was looking for something to comment on. "What's wrong, Oz-sama?" she finally blurted out. No hesitation in that sentence.
Oz kicked the chair across from him. Alice or Gil would sit there. Alice was inside sleeping peacefully. Oz took a while to answer before finally saying, "Nothing." Of course Oz knew this was a lie that probably wouldn't fool anyone. The shota waited for a demanding question to bounce back at him but silence was all around.
Break sat up in his chair and grabbed the fourteen dishes that were there from his cake and carried them away. Sharon followed Break…. Leaving Oz all alone on the balcony. The wind blew in his face making his eyes watery. It wasn't only that. Gil was gone and Oz had no idea where he went. The thought that Gil might have left for good was circling his heads like hawks in the mid sky.
"Gil. Where are you." he sobbed a little into his folded arms that were laying on the table. The cold wind made things seem dramatic but it made Oz cry more. Whenever it got cold Gil would always keep Oz warm. Whatever way he could.
"Oz!" a familiar voice came.
Oz looked up and burst into tears. "Gil!~" he sobbed.
Gil was shocked and he ran forward to the boy. He held him so tight. Or at least a bit of him. It really wasn't a hug, it was more of a concerned grasp.
"I thought you left… like abandon.. Gil.." Oz whimpered as he slowly got over his sadness. It faded quite quickly as Gil held him.
"Of course I didn't leave or abandon you!" Gil smiled.
He ruffled the short boy's hair. "I would never leave. You're my master!" he smiled.
Oz brought his face to the other boy's face and smiled. For a second he thought Gil's smile meant something totally different. He shook that feeling off quickly. The blue balcony turned so bright and cheerful. The dull colors of the sky faded. They were actually never there, but it only seemed like that. Gil had something special in him. Something hard to find in someone. He couldn't quite think of the words.
"Here," Gil picked up Oz's dishes and brought them inside. Gil's smile seemed to have made the bleak colors flee from Oz's view. His golden eyes seemed to reflect the sun's gorgeous rays and make them brighter so much. Oz felt secure around Gil. It was an awkward feeling at first but Oz learned that that feeling was real, true, and something you can't get over. He was seeing Gil in an awkward but new light. Was this the being of… love?
