Vincent closed his eyes and allowed the sane side of him to take control once again.
Blinking his eyes open he could feel pain in his shoulder and leg, and an exhausted feeling. The feeling of being exhausted was familiar to come back too unlike the pain. Hesitantly he looked around, and the dread and guilt overwhelmed him as he saw what he'd done.
"I'm so sorry. I-I-I didn't want this." Vincent said shakily. Weakly he went over to Gilbert, kneeling next to him.
"Gilbert can you ever forgive me." Vincent whimpered holding back from crying at the pain in his shoulder and leg and hurt of what he had done. Weakly he reached out, pulling Gilbert into his arms and hugging him, paying no mind to the blood seeping through his shirt.
"I'm so sorry Gil. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Vincent whimpered holding Gilbert tight. 'I promised i'd never hurt Sep or Gil. I promised…' He thought sadly.
"I'm so sorry, I wanted to keep to my promise. I'm so sorry." Vincent whimpered tears forming in his eyes threatening to creep down his face. 'Adam said Sep was awake. How am I going to explain this…' He thought worriedly.
"I'm so sorry. I will keep this away from Sep. As much as he'll know we had an argument and you ran away. So he can hope you'll come back one day." Vincent whimpered brushing a bit of hair out of Gilbert's face. 'Even though you never will…' He mentally added. There was a small wheeze from Gilbert and his hands tightened.
"Gil!" Vincent said surprised and a little happy to see some life in Gilbert.
"Who…." Gilbert mumbled, looking dazed and extremely weak.
"No don't speak save your strength." Vincent said resting Gilbert in his lap undoing his work outfit shirt. "I have to try to right my wrong."
"Hurts…." Gilbert wheezed.
"I know kiddo. Please bare it." Vincent said weakly starting to feel the affect of the amounts of blood he lost.
"Why…." Gilbert mumbled, his eyes starting to droop closed again.
"Please Gil stay with me!" Vincent said worriedly as he started to wrap the shirt around Gilbert.
"Everything… dark…. Feel… light…" Gilbert mumbled.
"Please Gil I don't want to lose you. Please stay with me here." Vincent begged. Gilbert started to nod off, before jerking awake, catching himself.
"Please son. I'm so sorry. I never wanted this. I'm so sorry." Vincent said weakly as tears had started to make there way down his face.
"You… didn't?" Gilbert mumbled, fighting to keep his eyes open.
"I didn't want this to happen to you. I love you kiddo, even if I don't show it well." Vincent said weakly brushing more hair out of Gilbert's face. Gilbert chuckled weakly, but soon burst into coughs, blood dribbling out of his mouth.
"I'm so s-sorry Gil. I truly am. Please don't leave me." Vincent whimpered wiping the blood off Gilbert's mouth.
"Take… care… Sep…" Gilbert coughed.
"I will but so will you. Please hold on longer kiddo." Vincent said weakly.
"Can't…. Hurts… too… much. Too… much… blood." Gilbert mumbled.
"Please don't leave me. I can't do this alone." Vincent said weakly, tears running down his face.
"Lady… says… time to… go. Says… say… goodbye.." Gilbert coughed, looking at something behind Vincent. Vincent hugged Gilbert tightly.
"I love you kiddo. Please don't forget that." Vincent whimpered.
"Love… you… daddy." Gilbert coughed as his breaths started getting slower, his grip getting looser. Vincent hugged tighter at the loosened grip. Eventually Gilbert went still, still gripping Vincent as his body started growing cold.
"I love you kiddo." Vincent whimpered setting him back down gently on the ground. Shakily he pulled Gilbert's grip off him, setting his still grasping hand next to him. Vincent sighed looking away wiping tears off his face.
"Bro? I already told you- oh." Scott could be heard coming into the room, stopping in the doorway. Vincent looked over to where Scott was pain written all over his face. Scott was silent, his focus on the bodies and blood.
"Scott." Vincent whimpered softly. Scott looked to him, his expression demanding an explanation.
Vincent sighed and hung his head. "I lost it." Vincent said weakly.
"That much is obvious." Scott growled.
"I understand if you hate me. I hate myself right now." Vincent said weakly as he tried to stand only to fall back to his knees. Scott didn't move, staying in his spot as he looked away from Vincent at Gilbert. Vincent whimpered again trying to hold back tears only failing as tears crept down his face again.
"Why." Scott growled. "Why him. Why them. You swore up and down that you'd never lay a hand on Gil or Sep."
"You think I know! I-I-I-I never wanted to hurt him. Yet this." Vincent whimpered sounding a bit bitter.
Scott sighed before coming over to Vincent, pulling him into an awkward hug. Vincent stayed still sniffling and closing his eyes. Scott sighed, patting Vincent's back.
"Everything will be fine. Gil would understand." Scott sighed.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't want this." Vincent sniffled.
"It's alright bro. Everything will be alright." Scott sighed.
"I failed to keep to my word. I'm sorry Gil. i'm sorry." Vincent cried softly.
"It wasn't you. Gil knows that. He's in a better place now." Scott said softly.
"How do I explain this to Sep. Or should I keep it a secret." Vincent said wiping tears from his face.
"If you keep it a secret he'll find out, and ask why Gil isn't around." Scott sighed. "Just lie to him and tell him Gil ran away. Or say someone else killed him."
Vincent nodded weakly.
"It'll be alright bro. Gil would understand. I know he never said it outright, but he loved you." Scott sighed.
"I know." Vincent said softly.
"Come on, let's go home. We need to get away from here." Scott sighed, standing.
"I hope your not too tired because the kiddo's put up a good fight." Vincent chuckled weakly.
"I imagine. Gil would never just give up." Scott said, taking Vincent's arm to guide him away.
Vincent hissed a bit at the pain in his leg as he stumbled trying to keep up with Scott. Scott sighed, going to the door and locking it before leading Vincent out the back door, making sure not to let Vincent touch anything to prevent any evidence.
