Chapter 4: Gilbread
Matthew opened the car door and exited, scanning his surroundings. His face scrunched up in confusion as he noticed which restaurant Gilbert had taken him to.
"You're taking me to Bread Company for our first date?" Matthew asked, flabbergasted.
"Weeellll, yeah. It's the only thing I could think of that goes with my name," Gilbert answered sheepishly.
"What?" Matthew questioned, his head tilted. Oh jeez did Mattie look cute like that.
"Gilbread, of course!" Gilbert laughed, thinking he was just the most clever person. "Our date is gonna be double awesome - me AND bread!"
Matthew sent him a withering look. He had been defeated by Gilbert's awesome word play. Or so Matthew let him think. He snickered to himself as they made their way into Bread Co. for their first date. Romantic, right?
The second Matthew stepped in, he was immensely grateful they came here. The delicious smell of bread - Gilbread, he reminded himself - was almost overwhelming, but comforting. It was warm - dare say toasty - and Matthew nearly drooled at the sight of different types of bread, pastries, and soups.
"Maybe this won't be too bad," Matthew commented half heartedly to Gilbert. He just laughed.
"Get whatever you want, I'm paying. But please, try to get some bread so I can continue saying Gilbread." Matthew waved him off, paying attention to the food.
"Oh. My. Maple. Their soup is served in a piece of bread how does that even work I really want some let's get bread bowls Gilbert okay," Matthew babbled, as Gilbert just laughed.
He could get used to this little dork, he really could, he thought with a smile as he reminded his boyfriend to say Gilbread.
