Light streamed through the window and right onto Gilbert's pillow.
Blinking slowly, he woke and sat up in bed. As he looked over at his clock on the bedside, he noticed the unfamiliar lump next to him.
He peered at the shape warily, when it suddenly moved to reveal the sleeping face of Matthew.
Shit shit shit shit...why is.. is Mattie in my bed?!
He looks down at himself to see he was still in his pajamas. That's when he remembered.
Oh yeah… I had a nightmare and called him and he came over...
Letting out a quiet sigh of relief, Gil got out of bed, careful not to disturb his friend, and disappeared to take a shower.
After a good 20 minutes, he returned only to find Mattie still asleep.
I doubt he'll be asleep much longer. I'll just wait for him to get up.
With his newly developed plan of action, Gilbert quietly snuck over to his computer and opened it.
Mein Gott... He is so cute when he is sleeping! His face looks so peaceful… I wish he knew how I felt…
After another 15 minutes, Mattie still hadn't woken up, and Gilbert's stomach was beginning to growl in hunger.
Alright, I guess I have no other choice.
He made his way over to the sleeping form. He reached a hand out, hesitantly, to shake him awake
"Mattie… Mattie vake up." He shook him gently. "Birdie…"
A muffled groan was emitted from under the blankets. "Five more minutes…"
"Mattie…"
A mess of blond hair appeared from under the covers, followed by a pair of bluish eyes, still half closed with sleep.
"Gil..?"
"Good morning sunshine." Gil greeted with a smirk. "You hungry?"
A look of confusion passed over Matthew's face but was closely followed by another one of recollection of the night before.
"Sure. That sounds good."
"Great. I'll meet you downstairs then." With that, he left the room and quietly made his way down the stairs.
Matt watched him leave then crawled out of the bed rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He found his glasses on the bedside table and put them on.
He made his way to the stairs and soon found Gil taking inventory of the kitchen.
"So, what are we having?"
"Vell… Umm, i'm not… Sure.. Vell what.. Vat do you want?"
"How about pancakes?"
"Ya zhat is a great idea!" Gil agreed. "How do you make zhem again?"
Mat rolled his eyes and laughed. "Hows this, I can make the pancakes while you show me where everything is."
Gil nodded, and soon the two of them set to work.
In a matter of minutes, and with minimal spilling, pancakes were cooking in the pan and their smell wafting through the entirety of the house. As they cooked, they talked and laughed about random little things. Neither of them brought up Gil's nightmare or the fact that Matt had stayed the night.
However, though neither of them mentioned it aloud, they were both debating it inside their own thoughts.
Are we like a thing now? Does he even feel the same way? I mean, out of all people he called me when he had that nightmare.. and I was the one dying in the dream that made him cry… So does he likes me? Its seems like it... but I'm not entirely sure… But… after all, he let me spent the night in his bed. Still… Ugh! None if this is making any sense! If only I knew for certain! A sign! anything! C'mon Gil just...
Make a move! Come on! You are so much more awesome zhan all zhis embarrassment stuff! Why is Mattie any different than the others you've asked out!... I mean he's cute and funny, and really adorable when he blushes… Verdamit! Why… I mean.. I've tried to give him hints… And I'm pretty sure that dream was my subconscious telling me I need to make a move soon or he's gone… But I just...
"Bruder? Vat are you making?" Ludwig's voice cut through both of their trains of thought.
"Some awesome pancakes!" Gilbert announced proudly with a ridiculous grin on his face.
Ludwig nodded his head, "Vell zhey smell good."
"Hey Gil," Matthew interjected, " Should we make some extra for your parents?"
"No need. They're on a business trip." Ludwig answered before his brother had a chance.
"Then.." Matthew hesitated.
"Vhat?" Gil asked.
"Can I call Alfred and see if he wants some? I mean… If it's not too much trouble."
"Yeah! Zhat sounds like an awesome plan. The phone iz over zhere." Gil gestured towards the phone by the couch in the other room.
"Thanks. Watch the pancakes, I'll be right back."
After a few minutes on the phone, Matthew returned. "Ok, he's coming, and apparently Arthur too…"
"I zee the bushy-browed brit stayed zhe night zhen." Gil commented with a laugh.
"Yeah," Matt confirmed, laughing at Gil's rather accurate description of his brother's boyfriend.
"Hey West! Can you set zhe table?!" Gil called over to his brother who was now watching some sort of documentary on the couch.
"Yah." He called back, and quickly set about the task.
Just as Ludwig finished setting the table, and Matt had placed a large plate stacked high with pancakes on it, there was a quick knock at the door and a loud "HEY DUDES!"
"Hey bro. Hello Arthur.'
"Mornin'!"
"Good morning Matthew."
"Food is ready. Let's eat!" Gil called out.
Once they were all seated, Alfred took about half the stack of pancakes and put them onto his plate. Then promptly drenched them in syrup.
"Hey! Save some for the rest of us!"
Hello everyone.. Sorry again for the wait. School caught up with me and I haven't had much time to write… The next chapter will be the final Chapter.
I promise.
Also.. I'm thinking about changing the title… but I have no real idea as to what to change it to..
If you have an idea for a different, more appropriate title, tell me in a review or PM me. I love hearing from you guys!
No promises for just when the next chapter will be posted. But my guess is… within the next month.
That's it! Radish out!
