~ The Divine Love of Protection~
Chapter 3: Demon
I ... I'm scared. I don't know how to react. Just feeling him behind was too much for me. His aura was eminating with darkness and evil. I was probably freaking Gilbert out with the face I was giving him. But I just don't want to turn around. Of course, I have to. He already looked behind me to see who it was. So it was right for me to turn around and see who it is.
...
So, that's what I did. I slowly turned around to see another head of silvery hair, with his eyes closed and a smile that creeped me out to the bone. Even if the smile was hidden by his scarf, you could still tell it was there. I stared at him with wide eyes. I knew he could tell I was frightened by him, and I guess that made him happy. Even Gilbird, who was still on my head, twitched a little. Kumajiro just wiggled his arms around as if he just wanted AWAY from this boy.
Suddenly, I felt an arm wrap around by neck. I looked into Gilbert's face to see that familiar smirk. The one that always made me blush. But why does it cause me to do so? He looked at the boy in front of us, it seemed that he creeped him out too, but he was trying to keep his cool." Well hey, uh, you're Ivan right? You're in one of my stupid classes..." He thought for a moment. " Science~" I looked back at Ivan who had finally opened his eyes and nodded his head.
" Ah, and you are Gilbert, da?" He had sort of an innocence in his voice, but I know he never means good. He sent chills down my spine when he looked over to me. " And what about you, comrade?"
I looked at him with fear, and he seemed to feed on that. But I still managed to answer him. " M-my name is Matthew..." He still wore the same smile as he nodded his head again. There was sort of an awkward silence been us three, until he finally said something. " Hmm, well it's good to meet you both, da?" And just like that, he turned to the side and started walking off. I could've sworn he mumbled something to himself. " Very good~"
Gilbert and I watched him leave. " Well, that was... weird." he said. I nodded my head to him. But now, I really wanted to know what my mission was here.
...
Now that I know a demon is here.
oOoOo
"So," I turned around so I could completely see Gilbert. " Are ya ready now, Mattie?" I giggled and nodded my head. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the school's entrance doors. " Er, so I said I lived close by here, but I still have to take the lame school bus home..." he said with his head down. I still smiled at him; he seemed to be the person that always does make me smile. " That's fine, Gil, I'll just wait with you." I saw that his cheeks became red as I called him by his nickname. Seeing him like that, for some reason, had the same effect on me.
We sat on the bench, waiting for the bus to arrive. It was almost an awkward silence between us, so I tried to keep myself occupied by glancing around. I spotted several different couples, two of them were making out. I blushed embarrassingly as the boy of one couple glanced at me and gave me a " What the fuck are you staring at" glance.
I turned away and looked back at Gilbert. He was facing the other way, staring at a dog doing his business by the fire hydrant. My blush deepened as I stared at him. Why was I blushing so hard? It seemed to only happen when I look at him. Although, it went away just as the bus pulled up. Gilbert's head perked up and he grabbed my hand, pushing through the forming line, leading me to the back of the bus. " These are the best spots." He said as he smiled and hand gestured me to take a seat near the window. I smiled softly back at him, and took my seat. He landed carelessly right next to me. We waited for the bus to fill up with students wanting to go home, and then the bus started to finally move. I looked out the window watching as the bus drove us past house after house.
Then I felt his stare on me. I turned around to face him. His cheeks were completely red and he was staring straight into my eyes, and I was staring into his. I also felt my cheeks flare up as I felt his eyes see into my soul. In a good way, of course. He started to lean in and I found myself doing the same, like I was in some sort of a trance. I felt myself close my eyes as I felt his hot breath on my face. Are lips were inches away, then centimeters, and I could feel his soft, yet firm lips ever so slightly brush against mine.
" Hola~!"
I quickly opened my eyes and sank back into my seat, my curl was twitching and my face was flushed from embarrassment. Gilbert stared at me for a moment before finally coming back to reality and looked at the boy standing over the seat in front of us. I glanced up to see a boy with curly brown hair and emerald green eyes smiling at us. " Haha~ Sorry if I was intruding or anything~!" This boy seemed so polite, bright and happy-go-lucky. Good for him, he'll be a great angel when his time comes. Gilbert crossed his arms and smirked. " Toni~ No, we weren't doing anything, so there's no need to apologize." The boy grinned, obviously knowing we were about to do something more than just talking. He turned to me, his eyes having a sort of shine to them. " Ah, Gil! I don't think I've met you're quiet, cute friend here~!" Gilbert wrapped an arm around my shoulders and poked the boy's forehead, causing him to giggle. " This here's Antonio, one of my best buds ever, since I can remember." Antonio waved his hand to me, still smiling and being ever so friendly. I nodded my head to him and shyly smiled. " H-hello, my name is M-matthew... it's nice to meet you, Antonio." There I go being all nervous and stuttering again. The Spaniard nodded his head back to me. " Well, it's very nice to meet you too, Mateo~! And hey, you can call me Toni~"
Suddenly, a hand gripped Antonio's shirt trying to sit him down. " Bastard, sit your ass down and stop talking to your other bastard of a friend." Antonio looked down at the seat next to him and smiled. " Aw, but Lovi, I'm talking to Gilbert's boyfriend~!" I blushed and looked away, feeling awkward and sinking deeper into my seat. Gilbert looked as if though he would have strangled the guy, but I guess he didn't have the guts to do that to his best buddie.
" Stop calling me that in public, dammit!" He was obviously Italian, from what I can tell from the accent. There was a freshman boy in my English class who sounded a lot like him, but with a higher, sweeter voice. The Spaniard chuckled and turned back to me. " Well, how do you like the school so far? Ah! Are you a sophomore like Lovi~?" I nodded my head shyly at him. " Y-yes I am, and the school is absolutely delightful." He nodded his head in agreement. " That's good to know~!" He looked at both me and Gilbert. " Well, tomorrow we should sit by each other during lunch or something. Maybe with Francis too, no?" Gilbert shrugged his shoulders. " Fine by me, as long as he doesn't act all pervy. Sometimes he could make me lose my awesome appetite, damn..." He clutched his stomach, his eye wincing as he was obviously recalling a past memory. I almost laughed at the expression on his face, but suddenly the bus hit a big bump on the road, causing me to topple over to the side, landing face first in between Gilbert's legs. I blushed furiously and quickly pulled myself up. Gilbert's cheeks were red as... " Haha~ Gil, your face is as red as a tomato~!" Gilbert winced at him, giving him a threatening face. The bubbly boy only chuckled to himself as he looked out the window and smiled.
" Oh, alright then~" Antonio said with a salute. " 'Till tomorrow, adios amigos~!" The bus stopped and the Spaniard got off the bus while holding onto the Italian's hand. I only got to get a glimpse of the back of his head, but apparently he had a curl just like me. Yes! I wasn't alone~
I turned back to Gilbert with a smile. " He's very nice, you're lucky to have him as a friend." The albino smirked and stared at me. " Well, I'm even luckier to have you as a friend, ya know Mattie?" I blushed and looked past him. I saw a blond boy with piercing green eyes staring at the seat in front of him, his arms crossed. He had a slight frown on his face and his bushy eyebrows were very noticeable. If I were to guess, I would say he was a senior. There was also another boy sitting next to him. He was obviously much younger. I could only make out dirty blond hair from where I was sitting, because it appeared as though the younger boy was asleep on the older blond's lap.
W-why...
...
Why did the sleeping boy seem so darn familiar?
oOoOo
The bus stopped in front of Gilbert's house and I was dumbstruck.
The house was absolutely beautiful. I don't even think it should be called a house, it was probably a mansion. Before I could complement on his home, Gilbert grabbed my hand and sprinted off the bus, nodding his head to the driver as to say thank you. " Ruben~" The driver nodded back as if to say your welcome. "Gilbert."
Gilbert stopped in front of his house, trying to find the key in his bag. Gilbird suddenly flew from my head and reached into his pocket, biting on the keys and pulling it out for Gilbert. The albino took the keys and winked at the bird. " Thanks, birdie." Entering the house made my eyes even go wider. Everything was so neat and in order, it was like they had maids, but they didn't.
" So, Mattie, how do you like the awesome me's house, eh? Kesesesese~!" I looked at the different paintings on the walls and the different chandeliers, my face keeping a "wow" expression. He rubbed the back of his head and kept smiling. " Before our parents died, they left my brother and I a whole wad of money...a-and this freaking awesome house!" I nodded my head to him. " I-it's beautiful..." He looked down at mumbled something.
" Not has beautiful as you..."
I blushed. Had I heard him correctly? N-no... maybe...not?
My blush increased as I started to pick up a smell. It was very delicious, filled with different spices, and I think there was some tomato. I sniffed the air trying to guess what kind of food it was. Gilbert had seen me and smiled. " Come on~" He took my hand and we traveled towards the kitchen. Passing by the living room and guest room, I smiled. Everything really was in order in this house. Almost like my room in heaven.
When we entered the kitchen I saw a boy cooking pasta. Hey wait... He turned around, a bit surprised to see us. " Ve~! Ciao, Gilbert, and Matteo~!" I smiled. He does remember me from English class! " H-hello, Feliciano..." I said shyly. Gilbert nodded his head. " Sup, Feli! I see you've met Mattie over here." The Italian boy nodded his head and looked back at what he was doing. " I'm making pasta for dinner~"
Gilbert nodded his head nonchalantly." Hey, Feli, how'd you beat us home? We took the bus." Feliciano turned his head back at us. " Ve~ Me and Luddy walked home right after school, but he had to go back out and buy more potatoes~!" He cheerfully nodded his head, smiling in a cute manner. I got to admit, the boy was simply adorable.
But before we could go further in conversation, Gilbert once again pulled my hand and headed towards his room. When I entered it, I wondered just how rich they were. His room was totally...eh... pimped out as some of the boys say in school. He plopped me down onto a couch, yes a couch in his room, and he went in front of the flat screen television. He started to rummage through different kinds of movies.
" So, Mattie, what kind of movie do ya want to watch?" He held up different kinds of movies that I don't think I have ever seen before. " Hmm, I've got action, adventure, fantasy, horror, suspense, comedy..." He paused and looked back at me with a smirk. " Romantic~" I, of course, blushed and held onto Kumajiro, who was asleep. I nodded my head for the romantic/comedy movie. He chuckled and put in the tape. On the screen the words, " I Love You, Man" came up. That made me feel kind of awkward, but I watched him walk over to his fridge, where he pulled out two cans of a liquid. He sat down next to me, opening one and handing me the other.
"Want, Mattie?" I stared at it. " W-what is it?" He looked at me with wide eyes, furrowing his eyes. " You...you don't know what beer is?" I shook my head no, feeling stupid. He stared at me a little while longer and gave me the can. " Just drink it, you'll love it, k?" I nodded and opened the drink the way I had seen him do. I took a sip.
Immediately, my lips puckered up, my curl started to flail around, and my cheeks flushed from the somewhat intense taste.
I have never had anything like this before. I stared at Gilbert and gave him a weak smile. He started laughing, but then slowly calmed down. " Kesesese! Mattie, that was the cutest thing ever! I thought you were kidding on never having beer, but come on, it's not that bad!" I shrugged my shoulders. " W-well, no it's not that bad, eh?" I took another sip and giggled. We continued to watch the movie.
I suddenly felt uneasy at one moment, and looked out the window.
Nothing was there, ... right?
I turned back to the screen and sipped the last drops of the can, then hiccuped. I wanted another one, and Gilbert gladly handed me it. When he sat back down, I cuddled closer with him, and rested my head on his shoulder.
...
