Matthew sat next to his brother, who was hooked up to all sorts of equippment. The only signs of life in the uconsious teen was the heart moniter beeping and his chest rising and falling. Tears were streaming down the voilet eyed boy's face. He had just lost his closest friend, and he might lose his brother, who the doctor had announced, is in a coma.

Gilbert watched sadly from the corner of the room. He had made himself invisable to everyone, including Matthew. The demon deeply regretted everything, from beating Matthew's brother into a coma, to dissapointing the one he loves. He glanced over at the comatose boy, watching how his chest barely rose and fell, indicating his shallow breathing. Whenever he looked at Matthew and saw the pained expression on his face, he wished he could turn back time and prevent this whole catasrophe from happening, but even demon's couldn't time travel.

Occasional sobs had escaped the blond teen. Even though he and his brother had fought before this incident, he still loved and cared for the other, after all, he is his twin. He held Alfred's hand tightly, not letting go even for a moment.

The demon wanted to apologize, he really did, but he couldn't do it, no not yet. He would have to wait, for Matthew would not want to see him for a very long time. After watching over the brothers for a while, he decided to leave and mull over his problems. He walked out of the room and exited the hospital building, flying to the woods where he went to think and regret about what he had done.

~A few weeks later~

Ever since the incident with Alfred, not once had Matthew seen Gilbert. He missed him, but he was still quite angry with him. Sometimes, he could feel the demon's presence in his house, but never bothered to call out for him. He didn't want to talk to him. His brother was still in the hospital, deep in a coma. Gilbert had beat him up pretty bad. The demon watched sadly as the one he loves sat at the table, pushing around the food on his dinner plate, which he had barely ate any of. Arthur and Francine seemed to have noticed this and reccomended to the teen that he should eat so he doesn't get sick. The parents worry worried about there boy. He seemed so depressed ever since his brother had been in the hospital.

Gilbert dispeared out the window, and decided to go think about how he should apologise. Soon he was sitting in a large tree in the woods, boredly squishing ants that dared to crawl near him. He sighed and looked at the ground way below him, thinking of when he should actually talk to Matthew again, let alone apologise.

~Three Months Later~

Gilbert was finally going to do it. He was going to apologise to Matthew. They had still not talked since the incedent, and Alfred was still in a coma. Matthew had not seen Gilbert for a long time, though he could still sense his presence often. Currently, the blond teen was at his brother's side, holding his hand like he usually did, Gilbert standing in the corner, watching, remaining unseen. He sat next to Matthew and let himself appear. "I'm sorry..."

Matthew jumped from hearing a sudden voice next to him. He saw the person he least expected to ever see, and was quite surprised. "W-what was that?"

"I said... I'm sorry. For everything. Just, when you fought with your brother adn he made you cry, it angered me. And being a demon, I tend to have a hard time contolling my anger. I'm really sorry Matthew... I really didn't mean to do this. I regret everything so much." The demon's eyes watered as he explained all this, and was happy that Matthew actually decided to listen.

"Gilbert, I am still really mad, and very disappointed in you. I know you could do better, even if you are a demon. But... I still miss you. It's not the same without you, yanno?"

The demon nodded. "I know, Mattie. I couldn't stand being without you. This whole time, I've been visiting you, just to make sure you were okay."

"I know Gil..."

"How did you know?"

"I could just tell. The atmosphere is different whenever you are around."

Gilbert smiled at his companion. "I miss you, Mattie."

Matthew looked up and smiled back. "I miss you too..." The blond hugged Gilbert, who was surprised, but hugged back.

"And Mattie...?" Gilbert recieved a hum in response. "I love you."

Matthew pulled away from the hug and looked up at Gilbert with a bright red blush on his face. "I-I love you too, Gil..."

The demon smiled widely, returning to his cocky self. "Who wouldn't? I am awesome, after all!"

This earned the demon a smack in the arm.

"Hey! Mattie! What was that for?!" Matthew only giggled in response.
