Hi, again! Here's the second chapter to the story, thanks a lot to the people that read this, and for the review! It's a bit short, but I hope you like it!

Matthew plainly ignored Gilbert's call, too busy checking the nearby rocks, he seemed unsure, and had a frown on his face, apparently looking for something that was probably important.

The other man had no other option than walking faster, trying to catch up with him, but he suddenly stopped as some odd object on the ground caught his eye. He picked it up, a bit bothered by it. It was a very worn out rope, and he inspected it, both curiously, and worriedly, already guessing what it was for. "Uh… Matt…" He tried calling, but the blond wasn't listening, so he spoke louder, in order to get his attention. "Is this, by any chance, what you were looking for?"

Said man, raised his head, displeased by the interruption, but as soon as he saw what Gilbert was holding, his expression became cheerful again, as he walked towards him. "Yeah, good job finding it!" He exclaimed joyfully. "I have this habit to change it's position every now, and then, but usually end up having a hard time remembering were it was." He explained carelessly.

The albino raised an eyebrow. "Why would you do that? Isn't it troublesome?" This guy definitely had some weird habits, he concluded.

But he just shrugged, and replied casually. "I get bored." As if that was pretty obvious.

He sighed, once again, not even sure why he bothered trying. "Are you sure it's ok to use this? It looks kinda old… to say the least."

"Nonsense!" Matthew exclaimed dramatically, surprising the other man a little. "Do you want me to go first? You can use it later if I don't die." He responded teasingly.

Gilbert stared blankly at him in silence for a moment. "Quite a comedian, aren't you?" He finally said while smirking. This guy was kinda amusing, he decided. And maybe, just maybe, he was getting a bit excited about this. "And of course I'm going first, who do you think I am?" He declared confidently, as the other one smiled back at him.

He rushed to the edge of the cliff to catch a glimpse of it, thrilled by the idea of doing something awesomely dangerous. Meanwhile, Matthew tied the rope safely to a heavy rock, and passed him the other end. Then, he tied it around his waist, checking twice that it was done right, and throwing away any doubt of fear that was left, he began to descend, little by little. He was constantly reminded of his missing shoes, since his feet were aching, but he wouldn't let that stop him. From time to time, a few small rocks would fall as he stepped on the bedrock wall, scaring him to death, but he did just as he was told, breathed in deeply, and kept on going.

After about fifteen minutes, he finally reached the bottom, quickly untied himself, and pulled the rope, so that the other man knew it was his turn. To Gilbert's astonishment, it took him around five minutes to come down, and he even jumped a little bit, apparently having fun.

"Well…" Matthew said as he catched his breath again. "How was it? Did you enjoy it?"

"You could say so." He answered grinning. "But you should teach me some of your tricks, that was cool, kid!"

The blond man stared at him, a bit shocked by the unexpected compliment. "Sure… I'll show you how to jump next time…" He shook his head softly. "But now, we should get going…"

"Ja, ja, I know. You wanted me to see that city of yours. He took a moment to look around, noticing that they still had to walk a little more. "Go ahead, I'll follow you, and yeah, I'll be careful with my feet, mom…" He said with a sarcastic tone.

The blond frowned again. "Glad to know you were listening." He responded on a similar tone. "Anyways, we're almost there, so, come on already."

Chuckling a bit, Gilbert started walking after him. He spot a small stream, not too far from their path, water looking fresh and cristal clean. A bit of an odd sight, considering that they were so near to a city.

Soon enough, they were in the middle of a street, surrounded by tall buildings, but all of them looked old-aged, and abandoned. There were some traces of paint that had faded, and green leaves covered their walls partially. The windows, as well as the doors were missing in most of them, and there was no sign of electricity.

The streets were just as bad, with a lot of cracks, and small sprouts growing in them. The albino's jaw fell open, as a ton of questions rushed through his mind. He turned around to ask his companion for some answers, only to meet a pair of purple orbs, staring at him. He didn't fail to notice a bit of sadness in them, so he decided not to ask anything just yet. Instead, he checked the slovenly city once more, not sure what to say. This place looked as if it was falling apart, but it reminded him faintly of those friday nights with his friends, watching apocalyptic films while eating popcorn, and drinking beer.

"I feel… as if I was in a movie…" He finally decided to say. "And I bet I'm the main character, right?"

Matthew's eyes lit up, and he could swear he looked happy now. Good job brain, Gilbert thought relieved.

"And what makes you think that I wouldn't be main character of this… movie, eh?" Matthew asked jokingly.

"It's pretty obvious, Matt." The albino responded proudly. "I would male an awesome heroe! But you can be my co-star, kesesese."

Matthew rolled his eyes. "I'm quite sure I've heard that somewhere before…" He muttered.

"What was that again? I couldn't hear you." He inquired curiously, a grin still plastered on his face.

The blond's eyes narrowed slighly, but after a few seconds he smiled brightly. "I was saying that, since you're the heroe, you should save yourself from now on."

Gilbert's smirk disappeared instantly. " Hey, hey, not cool! That's not fair, kid! I don't even know where I am!" He complained.

"Oh, so maybe I should save this damsel in distress?" The other replied teasingly.

The albino looked dismayed. "You really look like a nice guy at first… but it's a cover up!" He suddenly exclaimed with a dramatic tone. "I bet you're actually the villain!"

Matthew sighed. "Oh, no! You got me!" he answered, as he raised his hands giggling a bit.

In that precise moment, Gilbert's stomach decided to make a rather unflattering noise, and both of them fell silent, staring at each other's surprised eyes. But despise his embarrasment, the white haired man was the first one to react.

"Ah… Ah, I see! That was your evil plan since the very begining! You wanted to let me starve to death! Well, no such luck, sir, I discovered you!" He spoke in a rush, a faint blush tinting his cheeks.

The other man stared back at him blankly for an instant, before laughing out loud. "Oh god, you really are something! Who would even think of something like that?" He managed to say, still laughing.

Gilbert smirked, a mischevious idea was forming in his head. He rapidly grabbed the blond's arm, and playfully twisted it behind his back, softly though, without actually hurting him. "I've defeated you, evil master of sarcasm, now give me food… or else!" But he could barely hold him any longer, since he was laughing as well.

"You're an idiot." Matthew jokingly said, as he easily freed himself from the grip. "But you're right, we need to get you something to eat. Let's go to my place for now."

"Woah, already inviting me to your house, Matt? Never thought that you could be so straightforward." He said blinking.

"I hate you." The blond muttered, but his smile betrayed him.

Gilbert grinned widely. He was having way too much fun to be lost.

And that's it for today, hopefully, I'll get the next update on time. And if you have any comments I would love to read them! See you soon!
