3 months later
Gilbert yawned, hanging the green apron up on the hooks by the exit.
Just five more minutes. Five minutes and he could go home for today. Going to school, as well as having two jobs was beginning to take it's toll on the German. Francis and Antonio had tried giving him money, but Gilbert had always declined the offers.
He was, for the first time in his life, being serious about something. Matthew. His pride always got in the way of reason. His mind would tell him to accept the help offered, but his pride practically forced Gilbert to do the work himself.
Just as his shift ended, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Gilbert pulled his phone out and answered it, holding it to his ear. ""Ja?"
"G-Gil?"
Gilbert instantly felt dread the second he heard Matthew's voice.
"Mattie? What's wrong? You know I'm going to be home in about ten minutes..."
"S-Sorry... b-but... Gil it hurts..."
Gilbert instantly sped up his actions, throwing his sweater on and hurrying down the street in the direction of the apartment they had recently moved in to. " What hurts? Matthew, What's wrong? Are you crying?" The albino could hear his lover sniffle. " P-Please... Just get home soon... I-It really hurts."
Gilbert nodded. " Hold on Birdie, I'm on my way.
2 weeks later
Gilbert sighed, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. " Thank Gott I'm done." He mumbled, lifting his shovel to rest across his shoulders. " Oi! This one's ready!" He yelled over to one of the men he was working with.
Time to go home...
Gilbert headed to the front of the house and put the shovel in the van parked out front. "Thanks for the hard work, Gilbert." Alex, the albino's boss handed him a few hundred dollars. "Here's this week's pay."
Gilbert unlocked the front door of their small apartment, stepping inside an closing the door. " Hey Mattie. I'm home." He called out, pulling his shirt over his head to throw it in the laundry. "I'm gonna take a quick shower, alright?"
There was no answer. Gilbert sighed sadly. Matthew had been so quiet and depressed since he had fallen two weeks before, and miscarried.
Sometime's it really did seem like the world was against them.
