Matthew was never the most secure guy. he rarely ever smiled and always kept to himself. He was always contemplating his life and comparing himself to others. Gilbert knew this and often found himself hurting for his blond friend. However, he was always able to make Mattie smile or laugh and it would always strike deep in the albino's heart. He knew he had fallen hard for his vogel, but right now, he needed to be there for Matt and keep his feelings to himself until he got the Canadian to be just a little more comfortable.
