4:00 AM. Gilbert grunted as he saw those numbers on the clock next to him. He woke up to the sound of muffled giggling, and the Canadian was the only one who could be behind them. Gilbert turned to where he was now laying on his back with his head turned to the side. He stared at the Canadian for a moment. Mathew had a smile on his face (as he was giggling) and was drooling while holding a pillow to his chest.

"It's mine…finally mine…" he said in his sleep with a creepy giggle. "The giant pancake is mine"

Gilbert tried not to laugh at his friend's obsession with pancakes as he started biting the corner of the pillow while still giggling.

"keseseseses I'm so tempted to record this" he said in a whisper so he wouldn't wake him up. Mathew suddenly threw the pillow off the bed and stopped giggling.

"You can't run…away from me-" he said frowning. Meanwhile Gilbert was too busy trying not to laugh so he didn't notice a pair of arms coming his way.

Mathew wrapped his arms around Gilbert's stomach and laid his head on his chest causing the albino to stop laughing.

"M-Mattie…"

"Gotcha…" he said as he started giggling like a mad person again. "You're not getting away this time"

"…if you're doing this on purpose… I swear I'm gonna…"he started saying but was cut off when Mathew started nibbling on his ear "M-Mattie…"

Gilbert tried to push him away but his arms where trapped by the Canadian's hug. "M-Mattie seriously…" said the albino but was unable to talk as his face turned hotter by the second. Mathew kept biting his ear and refused to let go. Gilbert was paralyzed. Why did his friend have to be such a heavy sleeper?

"M-Mattie…p-please wake up before you do something you might regret" he said as his face turned hotter. The Canadian, however, wasn't waking up. Instead he stated trailing down and biting his neck.

"You're finally mine…" said the Canadian with a giggle as he continued to bite at the albino's neck. Gilbert knew there was going to be a mark there later on in the day.

"M-Mattie…" he was going to try to wake him up again but started choking when he tried not to let a moan out. He decided to keep his mouth shut. Mathew started giggling again against his bare skin making him shutter. Mathew moved the arm that was holding Gilbert down and brought it up to his chest. Gilbert took that chance to try to get him off but the smaller man wasn't letting go so he did the next thing that came to his mind. He pulled Mathews curl, however the sound that came out of his mouth was not the sound he was expecting.

"AH...AAAHHH..."

Gilbert stood still, his face even hotter (if that was possible). Mathew slowly sat on his knees and slowly blinked his eyes open.

"…ooouuuch…" he said while rubbing his head as he was finally waking up. "Gil my head hurts…"

Gilbert didn't say anything. Mathew opened his eyes all the way and saw Gilbert's red face. "Gil why are you blushing?" he said tilting his head to the side.

"…it's nothing" he said hesitantly turning his head to the side and scratching the back of his head. But since the world hated him, the hickey on his neck became visible.

"That's weird…" said Mathew making the albino freeze as he moved closer to his face "I don't remember you having that on your neck last night."

"It's nothing really…just go back to sleep and dream 'bout pancakes or something…"

"Speaking of pancakes…I had the weirdest dream just now. I was in this really colorful room and there was maple syrup everywhere…and there was this giant pancake that I was chasing, and then I did catch it and I started eating it…" Mathew stayed silent and frowned "and I could actually taste it…but for some reason it didn't taste like a pancake, it was kind of salty actually…"

Mathew lifted his head to see Gilbert. His eyes widened and his face went hot when he noticed the mark on his neck again.

"I….I-I didn't do that did…did I" Gilbert looked away but didn't say anything.

"I'msosorrygilbertididntknowimsorryididntmeantodothatimsorryimsorryimsosorry…" Mathew said in a single breath as Gilbert tried to calm him down.

"No, no, no, no, it's ok…it's not your fault, its fine Birdie calm down." He said with his hands up in a defensive way as he tried to make the Canadian stay still. "You were just hungry…that's all..."

"That doesn't make it sound better" said Mathew, refusing to meet the other's eyes. They both stayed in silence for a while, neither wanting to make eye contact with each other.

"Its fine birdie, it doesn't bother me….anymore at least." He said scratching the back of his head awkwardly. His attention, however, was turned back to his friend when he heard a faint hiccupping coming from him. "Birdie?"

Mathew had his head low and was digging his nails in the skin of his knees "I'm sorry Gilbert…I didn't mean for this to happen"

"Why are you apologizing? You were asleep so it doesn't matter" said Gilbert. He was confused about why Mathew was saying sorry but then he thought, Mathew was gay and he wasn't…or at least he didn't think so, and there's a possibility that he thinks he's mad at what he did even if it wasn't on purpose.

"Birdie c'mon I hate seeing you like this. It's fine really" he didn't say anything in return, he just kept his head down. Gilbert sighed and sat up straight, he didn't know why it was bothering him so much that Mathew was crying but it did, so he did the only thing he could think of.

Gilbert reached to his side where the night stand was and pulled something out of the drawer. He leaned over to Mathew and reached around his neck letting the iron cross fall down on his chest. Mathew looked up with a confused look. His eyes were watery and his cheeks were red and somehow Gilbert though he looked completely adorable.

Mathew looked down once again and looked at the cross but looked back up when Gilbert cleared his throat and he noticed that he also had one around his neck.

"It's an iron cross that my vatti just gave me the other day…a-and mutti gave me that one you are wearing. My grandparents gave them to them on their wedding but that's not important at the moment…the point is that…" he said getting a little nervous "Mutti gave me that so I could give it to the one person I care about the most and since I doubt I'm getting a girlfriend any time soon. I decided to give it to my best friend."

Mathew took the cross in his hands and looked at it. He felt happy but…somehow he was disappointed at the words that came out of Gilbert's mouth. Best friend. How he hated that word, he didn't know why but he did.

"Gil I-"

"Who said I was finished?" he interrupted with his hand up in a stop position. "I decided to give it to my best friend…but I'm not gonna do that anymore"

"But you just…"

"Hush child I'm not done yet" he said bringing a finger to Mathew's lips to silence him. "I'm not gonna do that anymore, cuz I don't want you to be my best friend anymore."

Mathew's eyes widened, he felt a pain in his chest and tears threatened to roll down again.

"W-what? Gil what are-" he was silenced again, not by a finger, but by a pair of lips crashing with his. It was a short kiss but a very sweet one, not what he would have expected from the albino.

"….HUH?" was the only thing he managed to say as Gilbert pulled away and his face went red once again. Gilbert only grinned. "YOU JUST KISSED ME!"

"Yea….I know…" he said calmly "and you are the biggest liar I've ever met"

Mathew looked at him with a confused (and red) face "Ok I am seriously lost right now"

"Three years ago when we met you said I wasn't your type…" Mathew looked at him with confusion written all over his face.

"Three years ago you said you where straight…" said Mathew in defense.

"Three years ago you said you weren't gonna rape me..." Gilbert said finally with a grin. Mathew's face went hot again.

"GILBERT!"

"Kesesesese, I'm just messing with you…anyways three years ago you said you were gay, but I never said I was straight." Mathew went from shocked to annoyed and irritated in an instant.

"Gil you almost attacked me over a girl when we met…"

"I never said I was gay either…"

Mathew sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "Why is it so hard to talk to you?"

"You say that now but you love me anyways." Said Gilbert with a grin.

"…I guess…" he said with a shrug then realized what just came out of his mouth "W-wait what? No I…you…I just...uhh…"

Giving up he covered his red face with his hands making the albino laugh more. Once calm again he leaned forward and took Mathew's hands away from his face and smiled.

"You're adorable birdie…have I ever told you that?"

"Not while awake" he said with a sudden change in attitude. It was payback time. "You talk in your sleep Gil…have I ever told you that?"

Gilbert was silent "That other night you seemed like you were having a good time…"

"YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT!" he said with a red face. Mathew only smirked "…you…you just made that up didn't you…"

"Yup and you just admitted it" Gilbert sighed for what seemed the hundred time that night and smiled.

"Well that enough secrets for one night…lets go to sleep" Mathew nodded and laid back down on his side of the bed, Gilbert followed right after but instead of staying on his side of the bed he wrapped his arms around Mathew's waist and buried his face in his hair. "I love you birdie"

"I…I love you too Gil"
