Care To Spell "Trouble~?" Chapter 14
Chapter 14-Confession #2: GilbertSo yesterday still had me in stitches I mean their faces were TOO priceless! When I woke up I looked at the clock that red 6:30 am.
"Are you kidding me…It's only 6 in the morning...but on the bright side I'm awake before the guys!" I said to myself before I got up. I brushed my hair out and trekked down the hall. I spotted Alfred's door first and opened it. "Hey, dude ya' awake?" No response. "Guess not." I sat next to him and held in my laugh. Alfred's hair was tussled a bit but that odd cowlick still stood out. I sighed and brushed his hair away from his face. "You're a lot less trouble when you're asleep."
"What are you doing awake" He murmured tiredly and I jumped up with a screech.
"H-Hey! What's up! Good morning!" I said quickly. He sat up laughing slightly and I blushed. "Oh shut up! How'd you even wake up!"
"You messed with my hair" He laughed.
"Oh yeah…so…" I said. Well this is awkward…
"Did you wake up Gilbert and Mathias?" He asked.
"Nope…hey hand me that bucket" I grinned mischievously. He chuckled and threw it to me before I headed to the kitchen. I filled the bucket with ice then cold water before going back upstairs to Gilbert's room. "Good morning~" I said before pouring the water on.
"VHAT ZE HELL!?" He yelled jumping up.
"Good morning!" I said grinning.
"You are SO going to get it" He said and I smirked before detouring out of the room and grabbing the bucket in the process. I headed to the bathroom in the hall and filled it with hot water this time. I headed to Math's room and opened the door. I stalked over to his bed and lifted the bucket before pouring it on him. I couldn't help but noticed his hair flatten and let out a laugh.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" He shrieked.
"G-Good-Ahahaha!-Go-Good Morning!" I said through my laughing and Mathias looked PISSED! "I-I would say I'm sorry about your hair-Ahahahaa-B...But I can't say that I am!" I was laughing so hard my sides were hurting. Mathias crossed his arms and stood over me.
"Do you know how long it'll take to get my hair back to normal now that you have FLATTENED it!?" He asked. I looked up at him with a coy smile and shrugged. "Why are you up anyway!?"
"Cause the mood striked" I chuckled.
"Screw that!" He said but I could see the forming smile. "I'm going to get you back, you're sooo not going to see it coming!"
"I'll be waiting!" I laughed. After the boys were awake fully [And dry, tee-hee] they came downstairs. Alfred and Gil immediately began laughing at Math's new hair style.
"Shut the hell up! It's her fault anyway!" Mathias pouted glaring at me. "You're so mean Maya." Suddenly a soft purring caused me to look down at Azalea who was purring against my slippers. I made a face that screamed 'fan-girling' and picked her up.
" .GLOB! You're so fricken cute I can't even!" I squealed nuzzling her to my face. Azalea mewed softly and licked my face. The boys were glaring at the kitten slightly and I giggled. "Are you jealous, of a cat? You guys are sooo shallow."
"Oh! That reminds me, Amaya vould you like to go out vith me when I get back from ze meeting? Just the two of us~?" Gilbert asked.
"Oh sure!" I said grinning [once again being oblivious]. "I have nothing better to do today besides play games with Tony, play with Whale, and cuddle these little guys!" I picked up Amerimochi and huggled [A/I: Yup it's a word, I made it myself *Stands proudly*] it and Azalea to my chest. "Anything special I need to wear?"
"Hm…no not really…" He smiled. I nodded and Tony was looking at me with that look again. Uh oh…Was I being oblivious again?
"Okay!" I said grinning. After making them breakfast and hurriedly shooing them out the door I sighed. I hope to KAMI I'm not being oblivious because I swear I'm going to punch some oblivion out of myself because quite frankly all it does is give people the wrong ideas!
"Ugh you're so hopeless" Tony sighed as we played a new game.
"What did I do now!" I asked.
"Asking you out AFTER the meeting? Amaya he just asked you on a flat out date!" He said.
"No way, Gilbert's not looking at me like that…" I said.
"You said the same thing about Mathias and what did he end up doing?" Tony questioned.
"Confessing his love to me…" I sighed. Everything eventually goes back to 2 days ago. Mathias did confess to me, I did turn him down, and I DID feel bad! I mean yes he's my favorite person besides the other countries but…to get in between three friends that have done fine up until I got here? No way…I always say 'sister's before mister's' when it applies to my friends and I know they have something like that…but even still if they just flat out confess like this…then I'm going to stay with Arthur until it blows over! I just don't know how else to handle it…this has NEVER happened to me before honestly!
"Right, what are you going to do when they all find out they confessed to you when it happens? They're going to get into a big fight about it and then you'll be placed in a predicament of choosing which guy you want to be with, but even still you live with the 3 of them so then it'll be hard to even live with yourself and-" Tony stopped his explanation when I guess he spotted me on the verge of tears.
"You're right…oh god you're so right…they're going to want me to choose…they'll pressure me…a-and…I don't want that" I said nearly sobbing. All the confusion, thinking, and most importantly the situation itself was taking its toll on me. My head hurt…and even as cliché as it may sound my heart hurt too.
"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to-!" Tony began apologizing.
"No…you're right, if this continues I'm going to HAVE to choose between them! And if I don't then I ruin a great friendship between both myself and the trio…and then…it won't be like it was before it would be tension filled every time we all got into a room together and…that would be awkward.
"Well we'll see if this is a date or not" Tony stated.
"You know…for an alien you make some valid points…" I sighed setting the controller down. Tony shrugged.
"I'm an alien, it's what I do!" He said. Azalea, sensing my slightly depression cuddled in my lap and mewed.
"Hey, it's alright I'm fine" I smiled bitterly. "You don't have to comfort me." Soon Whale and Amerimochi joined the small hug too and I could feel the tears bubbling to the surface and one slid down my cheek. "….Okay…so maybe I'm not fine…."
After the meeting and the boys arrived back. I only took a few minutes to get ready. My outfit consisted of a panda shirt, black skinny jeans, and regular converse, my favorite fedora. I headed downstairs to meet Gilbert who was dressed nicely in a dress shirt, black jeans, and Gilbird was perched on top his head. I giggled as the little yellow chick nuzzled my cheek and hopped to the couch.
"Yeah, yeah we'll have a good time Gilbird, you be good and don't mess with Azalea!" I said pecking the little chick on the top of the head.
"Now should ve be off~?" Gilbert asked.
"Not until we lay down some ground rules!" Alfred and Mathias shouted coming out the kitchen.
"Like what?" I asked with a laugh.
"First, no funny business!" Alfred said. He looked dead serious and I couldn't help but want to laugh.
"You two will be back by 9 no less!" Mathias said.
"9? Are you two serious?" Gilbert asked.
"It's not like it's a date" I shrugged. "We'll be fine I promise and honestly…Gilbert? That's just weird."
"9!" Alfred said pulling me into his chest. "I DON'T WANT TO LET YOU GO!"
"Ah! Al this is a new shirt!" I shrieked. "YOU'RE FUCKIN' CRUSHING ME YOU KNOW! GAH! MATHIAS LET ME GO! We have to go!" I pried them off me and grabbed Gilbert's hand. "Look we have to go and we'll be back at 9, sheesh you two sound like my parents…no that's not the right term…my parents aren't the lightest people when it comes to…any type of man in general."
"So ve're going!" Gilbert said dragging me out the door. I didn't protest and we were off. I have no idea where we were going but it was to a nice restaurant first. It was quite nice, not too fancy, but not too much like a diner? While eating we talked a lot mostly sticking to things we wanted to talk about. I brought up nothing about what Tony had said before and he brought up nothing about liking me. After we finished with dinner and paid [together! I refused to let him just pay for everything] we headed to the mall to harass and troll people, it was too funny! We got some ice-cream too and then headed to a park. It was a little far from the house but empty and nice. I grinned with childish glee before I ran to a swing.
"C'mere and push me!" I shouted.
"Vhy do I have to? You know how to sving frau!" Gilbert protested.
"Duh I know that, just push me and stop complaining!" I said grinning. He sighed, muttered something in German before getting behind me and softly pushing the swing at first.
"So…" He began.
"What's up?" I asked looking back at him slightly.
"U-Um…vell…vhen you said it vasn't a date…" He began muttering and I could feel my chest tighten a bit out of what was probably about to come out of his mouth. I was about to detour from the subject but my mouth was stuck. Almost like it was glued shut! I was panicking.
"Y-Yeah…I-it was just a night between friends right?" I laughed nervously. He sighed and stopped pushing me allowing the swing to stop. He walked around so he was right in front of me.
"Nein…" He said. "I took you out because…vell it's been bugging me for avhile and I fear if I don't say somezing sooner I'd never get anozer chance vith the guys around." He paused and took a deep breath. "I really like you Amaya…like more than a friend 'like you' and I vas vondering-!" I stood abruptly.
"No!" I all but shouted at him only to shrink back and that feeling was back. "I-I'm sorry I yelled…I'm really sorry! B-But…you can't…no you can't like me like that Gilbert!"
"V-Vhat!?" He asked.
"I can't like any of you back! I can't, I can't, I can't!" I said my tears of frustration were coming back and honestly I didn't want to cry because it made me seem weak and if there was one thing I hated more than storms and bad friends, it was being weak.
"And vhy not?" He questioned.
"B-Because you're friends! I have a rule I stand by and it states that I can't get close to any of you if you all like me!" I said. "I…Look…you guys are sweet…and if I had it my way I'd…I'd definitely accept but…you 3 are friends, I just can't ignore that fact, and please don't make me chose! I don't want to turn down anyone else but…I can't just allow you 2 to harbor feelings for me!"
"Wait two…? Someone else confessed to you?" Gilbert asked.
"M-Mathias" I told him.
"And you turned him down too? Vhat are you going to do vhen or if Al asks you out!?" Gilbert asked.
"I don't know! YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THIS TOO DAMN HARD! I DON'T WANT TO GET BETWEEN YOU 3! AND I DON'T MEAN TO YELL BUT IF YOU 3 ARE GOING TO GET INTO AN ARGUMENT THEN I'M GOING TO LIVE WITH ARTHUR!" I finally shouted. At this realization I stopped talking. "I-I'm….I'm sorry….I'm so sorry…ca-can we just go home now…I don't want to talk any more about this…I had fun though…so…thank you." Gilbert looked like he wanted to say something but nodded silent. The ride home was full of tension and neither of us spoke a word to one another.
"Look…I didn't want to sound…the way I did… " I stated on the drive back. Gilbert didn't even bother to hide the fact he was upset like Mathias did. "I'm sorry…"
"You don't have to say sorry anymore" He said. "I over reacted a bit, I know zhat."
"No…I mean I did yell at you! You don't have to say sorry to me!" I said.
"But…vere you serious about going to live with Arthur?" He questioned.
"Oh yeah…I don't…want you all to just argue and if I'm in the house with you guys 24/7 then tension's going to build….so I guess I am pretty serious about it" I said sighing a bit. That wasn't true, I rethought this, they'd storm Arthur's place trying to find me so I actually prepared to head straight to Russia to ask Ivan if I could stay with him. I sighed as the silence continued. When we pulled back up to the house it was 10:30…We entered the house and Al and Mathias were ready to jump us both. "Guys…please just leave me only for tonight…okay? And if you yell at Gil for bringing me home late I'll kill ya' okay? I'll be in my room." I smiled at them before going upstairs. Not even a few minutes did I hear Gilbert's door [I'm just assuming by the echo since his door is right near the steps] slam and sighed.
"Why is this so fucking hard!"
