Sorry I haven't been updating, school has gotten really busy and it was my turn to write chapters for The World Is Full Of Magic. I own nothing. Written by M~
When Gilbert opened the door to his room, Matthew expected to see a giant mess for some reason. This room wasn't that bad actually. He could tell that it was being used by the ruffled bed sheets and a few t-shirts on the ground. He stepped further inside the room and continued to look around. He smiled at the Prussian flag pinned on the ceiling was brought back into focus from his observing state by a couple of tweets.
"Hey Gilbird, this is Mattie or Birdie. He is really awesome so be nice to him. Mattie, this is my pet bird, Gilbird—named after the awesome me of course," Gilbert said with a huge grin on his face. Matthew leaned towards a black birdcage that was suspended from the ceiling. Behind the bars he was beginning to have a staring contest with a yellow ball of feathers before he could feel a pair of arms come up behind him and hug his waist.
"You wanted to talk?" Gilbert whispered into Matthew's ear and earned a shiver from him. Matthew turned around in his arms and faced him. The blonde then rested his head in the crevice of Gilbert neck and started to cry.
"I-I've r-really done it this t-time. Mon Dieu, my brother must hate me now. I-I think he kicked me out of our apartment," Matthew bawled. Gilbert was stroking his back in a calming motion and led him to the bed for them to sit but still be in each other's embrace.
"What exactly happened Birdie?" the albino said in a relaxed tone to try and calm his Birdie down. Matthew looked into his sparkling red eyes, barely able to see them clearly through his own tears.
"Well, after you left, he accused me about having sex with you and then went on about him never meeting you properly. Then he said he needed time to think and he snapped at me to leave. I don't want to lose you Gil but I don't want to lose my brother either. You care about me and not just for my music so thank you for that but Al is family. He might even tell Arthur!" Matthew cried harder, clutching Gilbert's soft, if a little damp, shirt. Gilbert sat in silence and continued to stoke Matthew's back until the sobbing quieted down. When it was quiet, Gilbert took a finger a brought it under Matthew's chin. He stared into those dazzling violet eyes before leaning forward to meet those delicious lips. It was a light kiss that left the blond with pink-dusted cheeks.
"Listen," Gilbert said softly, "I love you and care about you so you can stay here as long as you want since you aren't on best terms with your brother right now. Also, about that, he never said that he hated you, just that he needed time to think. He probably overreacted and maybe he really did need some time to think about us. After all, the first time he saw me I sort of took you away from him to get you to go on a date with me." He said sheepishly. He smiled as Matthew began to fill the room with a light and cheery laugh.
"See, isn't laughing better than crying?" Gilbert asked.
"Yeah, I guess it is. Thanks again Gil," Matthew said, pecking his cheek before wiping the few tears that were still running down his own.
"Anytime Birdie, anytime," Gilbert replied. They sat on Gilbert's bed and made light conversation before there was a knock on Gilbert's bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Gilbert asked sarcastically.
"Bruder, I was just wondering if your "friend" was staying over for dinner or the evening so I know how much grocery shopping I should do," Ludwig responded, ignoring his brother's sarcasm.
"About that, Mattie needs a place to stay until he figures things out with his family so I offered for him to stay with us. We can share my bed if you are worried about sleeping accommodations. Is that alright?" Gilbert begged. His tone surprised Ludwig since he had never seen his brother so serious with someone before.
"I don't eat a lot and I can clean and help out around the house while I stay," Matthew piped up next to Gilbert.
Ludwig nodded absentmindedly and began to close the door but before he completely shut it turned and said something to his brother.
"Bruder? Please keep this one."
