Chaos herself's note:
So, this is the last but one chapter. Still short, still preparation, still nice and warm... :)
Look forward to the final! It's coming up soon, promise.
...
It was more than a month ago that they met each other for the last time. But he had thought about his friend every single day. How eager he was to show Gilbert how great he had recovered! How much he had to tell him...
He couldn't distress enough, that he missed him so badly, regardless of how annoyed Arthur already was with the topic. It meant way too much to him!
Finally, the day had come, when he returned to the very clinic, where their friendship had begun and where he would still find the silverblonde man, hopefully. It really was due time, he payed his dear friend back cheering him up the way Gilbert had been there for him, he figured.
Would Gilbert be surprised to see him after such a long time?
He hoped so!
Excited and full of joy, he sauntered through the sterile floors catching a glimpse of the park downstairs, where the both of them had shared precious moments of carefree time. The mere memory of those days spread an even broader smile on his lips. So he hurried on, rather randomly searching the room, Gilbert was accommodated in.
Soon after troubling nearly every patient, he realised: he didn't know his friend's surname and apparently, neither the nurses nor the doctors nor the other patients seemed to know the red eyed German. That left him puzzled, but then he concluded: Gilbert had to be staying at a different floor!
Thus, he scuffed back to the nurses' room as fast as he could, slightly limping and huffing due to exhaust.
