Nighttime Confessions
Part 2
* -- knock-- knock-- knock-- *
Gatti tapped at the huge metal door before him. He was expecting a yell for an answer but none came.
"Lord Dilandau?" he called nervously from outside the door
There was still no response from inside.
"Lord Dilandau.. its Gatti, sir. I just really need to see and talk to you right now.." Gatti continued, but the truth was, he was really hoping that Dilandau would already be sound asleep right now.
Gatti noticed that he was actually holding his breath and breathed out as he realized that there was still no answer from inside the room. After a few more seconds, he just decided to enter. He peaked inside and eyed every corner of the room. It was basically dark and the only source of light, was the light of the 2 moons from outside the window.
As he expected, Dilandau was in bed, the sheets covering him from chin to foot. Carefully, quietly and very very slowly, Gatti approached Dilandau's bedside and watched him sleep. All thoughts of fear and uncertainties left his mind as he watched his Lord in slumber. He smiled, something he rarely did after finding out about Migel's connection to Dilandau.
'But now he's not here anymore.. its just me.. its just me and Him..' he concluded silently
"Dilandau-sama, forgive my untimely intrusion, but I just really need to see you right now.." Gatti whispers. "I need to tell you something, something I know I should have said a long time ago but just don't have the guts. Its true, I'm a coward. I was even sent to the army because of this reason. I pretended to be tough to please you and earn the title as your second in command. But nevertheless, it didn't matter.. you chose Migel over me. "
Gatti looked down and slowly back up at Dilandau's face
" Now, Migel is gone and I know you're really upset. Things like these happen, it can't be helped especially because we go to battle from time to time.." Gatti continues. " But Lord, its time to forget.. its time to move on. I'm sorry but I just don't want to see you upset, it breaks me to know its because of Migel. Sir, Migel's not the only one who could fulfill your needs.. I can as well.." he stopped, a light blush painting his cheeks with a pinkish tint.
" I love you. I've been in love with you since the first time I saw you. I've hidden it from you for years because I'm a coward! But even so, I know you'll reject me. Who'd want someone like me anyways. I bet you wont even notice if I happen to suddenly disappear one day."
It was better this way, that Dilandau wasn't awake to take in everything that he said. All that Gatti wanted to do was to be able to tell Dilandau his feelings without pulling himself back, cowering and choosing to shut up and retreat. He's telling him now isn't he?! This was already enough to help him loosen up a bit.
" Dilandau-sama, I just hope that someday, you'd have me, realize that I can also be someone whom you could love. I did my best to have you notice me that way but its just not working. I love you, Lord Dilandau, I always had and always will.. and I wish that someday, someday.. you'll see me too, that I exist.. to give you my pure and honest love."
Gatti bent down and slowly reached to touch Dilandau's cheek. It didn't suit a soldier like him to say such words. It wouldn't matter anyways, for no one, not even Dilandau can hear him. That was it. He had said what he wanted to, he had accomplished what he came for. Now, he could leave and hopefully be able to rest and wish that his wishes comes true.
"I'd do anything for you.. I love you.." Gatti whispers as he gazed down at Dilandau's sleeping face and slowly pulls back his hand.
Gatti had already turned and was ready to walk away when..
"Gatti.." came a faint voice from behind
* Okay, I know its rather short and it sucks. Also, sorry if Gatti sounded somewhat out of character. Anyways, I'm having an idea already for the next part.. a little lemon perhaps. hehe ^-^
