A Long Way to Go

by Sweet Jelly Hearts

This is a big series of little stories about Gilbert and Matthew. Sometimes the stories are sad, and sometimes they are happy. Sometimes the stories are connected to each other, but a lot of the time they stand alone. There's one thing that's certain about this series, though: there's still a long way to go before it's finished. 100 Theme Challenge, PruCan. COMPLETE

21. Never Again

"Gilbert, no. What did I tell you last time?"

"… Never again?"

"Exactly."

"But Mattie! I promise I'll finish this time! I always finish!"

"I know you do, but you take too long. I'll end up making you finish by yourself."

"I don't take too long! You just finish really fast is all!"

"Yeah, compared to you, because you finish so late!"

"Come on, just one last time! It'll be painless, I swear! I won't even do it in the dining room this time!"

"No!"

"Mattie…"

"No."

"Please…"

"… No."

"Pretty please…?"

"…" Matthew groaned. "Fine."

"Yes!"

Gilbert upturned the box and emptied the ten thousand-piece puzzle onto the dining room table.

"Gilbert! You said you wouldn't use the dining table this time!"

Gilbert smirked. "Yeah, I lied."

Matthew sighed. Here he goes again…
