AN: Yay for nice update time (I think I like updating every other day… it really works for me) and the time should stay pretty steady because I am actually in the process of typing up a couple of chapters.

I'm glad you guys seemed to like the last chapter. And apparently we all agree that filbert is kinda stupid for forgetting Matthew's birthday. Seriously Gil… o well. He'll be making it up to him ;)

So reviews are amazing and I love them. They make me happy which I really need right around this point (thought time in life is another reason why updates were getting sporadic) and Mattie hugs you when you review! (And if you are really awesome you will read my other stuff)

I AM AWESOME!

And so is this awesome plan of awesome! I really have to make this up to Mattie so I hope that this is enough… if it's not I'll think of something else. I hate the thought of him being mad at me because… well… it's not cool ok.

So, I'm not telling you the plan in advance, just in case you let someone read you but, later on tonight I will (or tomorrow if things go awesomely.)

So… I still have a few hours to get everything ready for my Canadian….. Well I'm not sure what to call him right now.

What am I talking about? Of course I know what to call Mattie, a friend. Even though I might want to change that to something….

Nothing, just pretend I didn't say that because these thoughts will only get me in trouble.

Although, it was a really awesome feeling that came when Mattie told me that he loved me. That isn't the type of feeling that friends have for stuff like that so that has to me something. I think I do love him. I have no idea what that means or what to do about it though and you're a damn book so I don't think you can help me and I refuse to go to Francis again.

So, I'll just make it up to Mattie tonight and figure out the rest later. I just know that I haven't felt this awesome since Prussia was still a nation. I haven't felt this good since I could say that I was a world power.

That's how I know that there has to be… something there.

Whatever, I texted Mattie and told him to come to my place at around seven tonight and he agreed so that's all cool.

Well, I'm gonna get some more stuff ready so… let you know what happens whenever.

July 8th

I AM AWESOME!

And seeing as I waited till today to write to you and Mattie is making pancakes in my kitchen… so was last night.

So, my plan was actually really awesome and worked and really made me happy because… well I'm getting ahead of myself here and I should probably slow down and explain it in a way that makes plenty of sense and let myself be less excited about all of this.

So, at about seven, Mattie shows up at my door, still looking kinda pissed and saying that this better be good. And I say that of course, it will be because I am awesome and wouldn't let him down again.

Shut up, I am not a pansy!

Then, I told him to sit on the couch for a few minutes while I went into the kitchen to check on things. Yes, the kitchen was pretty awesome. I had cooked us dinner (wurst with maple syrup on it) and had flowers on the table. And the table cloth had a Canadian flag design on it. And there were candles… pretty damn awesome if I do say so myself. And pretty damn romantic but, I refuse to admit to that ever again.

So I brought Mattie into the kitchen and he was all in shock when he saw the awesome I had brought to the kitchen. I am proud to say that he thought it was awesome and impressive.

I told Birdie to sit down to his "birthday dinner" and begin eating. He did, and told me how much he loved the whole setup.

Me: "This is only part one birdie."

Mattie: "Really? There's more to this?"

Me: "I'm too awesome to just leave it at this… of course, I hope you like this part a lot."

Mattie: "I love it Gil."

We then finished our amazingly prepared meal before I decided it was an appropriate time to move on to the next phase in my awesome plan of awesome. Mattie was already pretty happy with me so I figured that the rest would go pretty damn well.

So I took Mattie to the living room where we sat on the couch and talked for a while until I decided to move it up to my room for the rest of his awesome present.

I know, you must be wondering how this could get any better then it already was but, trust me, it's definitely possible. I would know; I came up with the damn thing! And… I planned on telling him… well you'll see when I get up to it won't you?

Anyway, we moved out of bruder's living room and into my room where I had Mattie close his eyes before entering. I then told him that I bought him four presents and that he had to leave the one on the bed for after he found the others. He growled at me before going to find them.

The first thing he found was the bottle of maple on my dresser (Yes, I did gift maple. Why? Because it's awesome!)

Then, he searched through my closet and found…. An awesome new hockey stick (yes, it actually says awesome on it!)

He looked around under my bed before finding a little book with a picture of Kuma on the cover (I gave him a journal… kinda like you… what? I like writing in you and maybe he will too!)

Then, came time for the best of the presents (Besides my awesome presence that it!)

Now… I bet you can't guess what I gave him? Besides the fact that my comforter is a Canadian flag because… well that's awesome in itself.

I bet you can't figure it out Gilbook.

It's just too awesome for even the awesome Gilbook to figure out because it was thought up by the awesome me!

So Mattie walks over to my bed and looks at the box with confusion. I don't give anything away because that's just not awesome.

Mattie picks up the box and opens it and stares at what's inside with shock because that's how awesome the present really is.

If you are wondering how something can be that awesome… wait till you hear what I bought. I bought Mattie a chain (yes I used the word chain because it's manlier then the word "necklace") it wasn't just any chain though. No… it's silver. And hanging off the end of the chain is a maple leaf. The maple leaf is medium sized and has diamonds on it with the word "awesome" in the middle of it. I had it made specially for my Canadian so I know that he loves it.

Mattie then proceeds to put it on before running over and hugging me. He thanked me for "the best gift I've ever gotten."

Then, I did the strangest but, most awesome thing ever. I decided to tell him…

I sat down on my bed and had Mattie do the same.

I looked at Mattie and said "do you remember what you told me at the park?"

Mattie: "About me loving you?"

Me: "Yea."

Mattie: "What about it?"

Me: "Well… did you mean it?"

Mattie: *sighs* "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't Gilbert. Yes I do love you."

Me: "Oh… Well…"

Mattie: "What is it Gil?

Me: "Well. Birdie… um… I might… um…"

Mattie: "Yes Gil?"

Me: "Matthew Williams, I am in love with you!"

Mattie: *silence*

Me: "Umm… yeah…. I love you too Birdie."

Mattie: *leans over and whispers* "Best birthday ever."

That then led to some very awesome activity. Yes, I do realize that I was nervous and girly about my admitting to being in love with my best friend. Yes, I did mean it. Yes, it was hard to actually say. Yes, I'm glad that I did.

So me and Mattie had sex shortly after that and it was awesome. I think sex is even more awesome when there is love behind it. No, I am not a fucking pansy… too awesome for that shit.

Right now, Mattie is standing over my shoulder and reading this. He's wearing the chain still… awesome.

AN: so there you have it, Gilbert finally admitted to it. And folks, we might not have much longer before I wrap this up! It's a scary prospect… actually ending Gilbook. I can promise at least two more chapters though!

So let me know what you think because reviews are awesome!

What do you guys think about the awesome present?

Also, I started up another story (I'm so bad but, the plot bunnies won't leave me be!) so it would be awesome if you would read it! And I also started Gilbo's advice column if you'd be interested in that.

(Yes, I can write stuff that isn't PruCan! That just happens to be what the plot bunnies want right now!)

I may also do something with Mattie and his diary that Gil gave him… maybe.
