Elizaveta let go of his arm. He…loved her? Gilbert picked up the bags and took out a small pack of gum.
"Here," he said tossing it to her, "This is why I was so late. I was trying to find a present for you…"
She stared at him.
"I know it's the lamest present ever, I couldn't find anything else…"
"No! I love it," she exclaimed, "Thanks Gilbert."
Gilbert took Gilbird and got back in his seat. He started the car and drove away. After a few minutes he realized she had never responded to his confession. He felt so stupid. What was he going to do now that she knew how he felt? She had probably known all along. It was so obvious. But this was the first time he'd ever said it out loud.
He turned to look at her. She was staring at him again. He blushed and looked straight ahead at the road. What the hell was he going to do? She must think he's so stupid. And why the hell did he get her freaking pack of gum? That just made him look more pathetic!
"Stop the car," she ordered him.
Gilbert pulled over on the side of the road. He turned off the car and turned to face her.
"I know it's a little late to say this," she started, "but I love you Gilbert, I always have."
Gilbert gawked at her. Was this for real? Or was she mocking him?
"I should have asked you out instead of Roderick and Feliks, you're the one I want to be with," she explained, "You're the only one who understands me, who accepts me for who I am. I was too scared to ask you out. You're my best friend and I didn't want to lose you!"
Gilbert grinned. He just couldn't help himself. This was awesome!
"I know. I feel the same way," he told her, "So let's get Feli to a hospital, go to Feliks's house and then we'll sort this all ou-"
Elizaveta unbuckled her seatbelt and sat down in his lap. She pressed her lips against his and ran her fingers through his short silver hair. His eyes widened in shock. He pulled her closer, closing his eyes and kissing her back.
He wondered if she had done this with Roderick, as he trailed his fingers up and down her spine. Of course she had. They were together for three years. He discarded his jealous thoughts when he heard her moan with pleasure.
He smiled and began kissing her neck. He hesitantly slipped his fingers under her shirt, touching her bare skin. He waited before continuing, not sure how far she wanted him to go. It's not exactly that he was scared of her. Sure she was kind of…violent, but he wasn't scared of her. He was scared of losing her. He loved her with all his heart. He had been waiting for her to notice him for years. He couldn't mess this up.
"Nngh…D-doitsu?"
Hungary pulled away. He was waking up. What was she going to do? Feliciano must hate her now!
Gilbert sighed. He wished they could keep kissing, but they really had to get Feli to a hospital. He kissed her one last time before saying: "We'd better get going…"
