Gilbert shivered as he felt the cold assault him and wrapped the blanket tighter around his frail body. Groping around him, he felt that his personal space heater wasn't there. He peeled his eyes open and sat on the bed rubbing the already messy mop of hair as his ruby eyes looked around the room to see that the Ruski wasn't even in the same room. Gilberts tired eyes snapped completely open as he realized he was all alone in the small dorm and scrambled out of the warm bed. He hissed in displeasure as warm toes connected with the cold hard wood floors, but he ignored it and looked around. Gilbert felt a small knot of fear tightening in his stomach, afraid that he had been abandoned by the Russian and collapsed onto the chair in the kitchen area. He heard felt the slightly rough texture of the bleached paper and looked down to see that Ivan had written a note to tell Gilbert where he was and rules for what to do and not to do. Gilbert growled, slightly embarrassed that he had nearly gone hysterical for being left alone. Gilbert snorted at that thought and crossed his arms. "What a stupid thought, being alone is fucking awesome, like I am!" He grinned at the thought before scowling. "The asshole could have at least woken me up to tell me he was leaving…Maybe I should look around…" He looked at the paper in front of him and in bright red capital letters it said: "DO NOT, I MEAN DO NOT GO OUTSIDE THE ROOM"

Gilbert pouted as he looked at the rules; it was pretty much like a prison. No fun at all. Gilbert snorted as he crumpled the 'Rules' and threw it behind him. "Fuck the rules I am awesome. Besides, I am no one's goddamn pet; I can do whatever the fuck I want." As the rabbit slid off the chair and onto the floor, he walked towards the closet near the bed to see mostly t-shirts and pants that would be much too big for him to even attempt to wear. "Goddamnit Francis, I knew you were a dumbass but really? You didn't even give him my clo-"He stopped what he was saying as he looked down to see his clothes neatly folded at the bottom. "Oh, never mind then." He said, before grabbing the tight black jeans and shimmying them on. He had also grabbed a black and white t-shirt with a black eagle on the shoulder. "Damn I know I look awesome." He boasted to himself as he attempted to smooth out the wrinkles in his shirt. Grabbing the black converse shoes he slipped them on before spending fifteen fucking minutes just tying up the shoe lases.

His ears twitched in irritation as an itch had appeared on the base of Gilberts ears. As he reached up to itch the offending area, a thought passed his brain. "Oh yeah, humans usually aren't used to people with animal ears." His shoes clicked against the hard wood floor as he rushed over to the closet again to grab the older students' hoodie and brought the hood up over his head squishing his ears slightly. "Well that should be good enough, and discomfort would be better then people being douchebags." Gilbert was a lot of things but an idiot he was not. Francis wasn't totally useless, he had taught them some things of the outside world, but Gilbert never thought he's have to apply it now, he was always a little odder then most since he was the only albino hybrid. And having no color to him made him the odd one out, so he never thought he'd be able to see the outside world. He always thought he'd see his younger brother adopted and die alone, at least somewhat content that his brother was with someone who cared. Gilbert shook his head of the thought that plagued his mind. "Depressing thoughts were so unawesome!" He declared, but a little bit of guilt was still left in his heart as he left before Ludwig, He left his own brother behind, and didn't even get to say goodbye…

"Ugh Mind shut up! We're about to go on an awesome adventure don't fuck this up!" His hand paused as he gripped the door knob, as he felt fear paralyze him. Was he really ready for this? He had never seen the outside world before. And besides Francis, Ivan, and Alfred he had never really come in contact with a human or had a conversation with one. He could feel his grip on the knob slacken as he second guessed his decision. His grip returned full force, as he reassured himself that his decision was a good one and twisted, His stomach dropped in fear as he took his first step into the unknown world by himself. And he couldn't deny it was perhaps the most terrifying experience of his life. As he shut the door, he looked down the hallway of the dorm rooms he feared that it could possibly be endless. He shook his head of his stupid thoughts, man he had a lot of doubts today. 'Geez what's with all the crap my minds coming up with today?' As he walked down the hallway, he had quickly realized he was pretty much walking blind; he had no idea of the map out here. Stopping he quickly looked around he saw what seemed to be a drawing on a plastic tile. As he looked at it, it seemed to be the layout of the dorm. Damn what a stroke of luck! As he quickly studied it, he had committed it to memory as he followed the map that had been photographed in his mind. He turned left and down the carpeted stairway and took another left before exiting out of the building. Gilbert grinned triumphantly, as he was able to get out of the dreaded hell of a building. No one really knew he had a photographic memory except for maybe Francis, he had kept that bit of information to himself, he didn't want people to expect more of him then he was willing to give.

Taking a deep breath, he jammed his hands in his pockets and walked out…Into the streets. As a black car swerved to avoid him, Gilbert jerked back onto the side walk. "Watch where you walk asshole!" He heard the man in the car yell. Gilbert scowled as he yelled back "Suck my dick jerkass!" Before turning the opposite direction the car went and walk down the sidewalk. He was already beginning to regret his decision already. As Gilbert continued to walk down the sidewalk, he was quickly mesmerized with the heights of the buildings and the shine of the neon lights on glass doors of stores. And he will deny with every fiber of his being that he screamed and ran when a bus came and "Ate" the people. Looking around he had realized one terrifying thing.

He was lost and had no idea where the fuck he was and no means of communication to get help.

Gilbert was a lot of things. Ballsy? Yes. Over confident? Most defiantly. But he still had the instincts of a rabbit, so when he realized he's in a place where it is unfamiliar and dangerous, he will panic. His eyes widened in fear as he tried to keep his shaking body to a minimum. However his casual pace had turned into a jog, leading him farther and farther too where he felt safe. Although he felt fear strike his heart the adrenaline was almost addicting to the hybrid. But he walked any farther he knew it would be much harder for the Russian to find him. Stopping where he was, he looked around the unfamiliar area. Entering the little coffee shop, he sat in one of the plush chairs, jittery and nervous hoping for once that the Russian will find him.

…

Ivan didn't digest anything the professors had told him the past 6 hours. He was too exhausted to even process the simple chemical reactions of Calcite dissolving into acid for Christ sake! All he could think about was sleep and how badly Gilbert had fucked up his dorm. As he packed up to leave, he walked towards the elevator and up to the dorm rooms. Reaching his dorm he opened the door, his body slumped in exhaustion. "Gilbert I'm home." He said tiredly as he nearly threw himself on the chair. The quietness was a little strange, Gilbert was most defiantly not a quite person nor animal, so why hadn't he responded or yelled yet? 'shit' Ivan quickly got up searching everywhere that Gilbert could hide in the tiny dorm room. "He's…not…Here." Ivan wasn't sure if he should be panicking or angry. Once he finds Gilbert, then he'll be angry. He heard his cell phone ring in his back pocket and answered quickly.

"Hello?" Ivan said rushing the word as his mind tried to process that Gilbert was gone. "Oh, Hey Ivan it's Alfred. Uh, I found Gilbert in that little Asian bubble tea place next to McDonalds and he won't let me go. Yeah, he looks like he's going to have a heart attack." Ivan felt relief take over his body as he nearly bolted out of the dorm room. However that pleasant feeling of relief had slowly boiled into anger. Gilbert had disobeyed a direct order and that will not go un punished. As he made it to the bubble tea place, Kiku, Alfred's Japanese friend who has been working part time there had greeted him politely at the door. Giving the small Japanese boy a forced smile, he walked over to the pair. His forced smile was still plastered on his face but the menacing glare was directed towards the hybrid. As his gaze focused on the rather frightened rabbit the hardness in his eyes softened a bit. Obviously a harsh punishment was necessary, but there would still need to be a punishment.

"Let's go Gilbert." Gilbert immediately clung to his side; even daring to wrap his arm around Ivan's, making the Russian raise an eyebrow at the action but did nothing to shake off the rabbit. "Thank you Alfred for finding him for me." The sunny blond just grinned at his large friend and shrugged. "Not a problem bro." Walking out of the shop, the walk back to the dorm room was awkward, Ivan was angry at the albino and wasn't in the mood to speak, even if he did, he'd probably hit the boy. "I'm sorry." Ivan blinked and looked down at the hybrid in surprise. He defiantly wasn't expecting that from the stubborn rabbit of all people. "You disobeyed me, I told you in bold letters Gilbert not to go out and yet you still did! You don't even know the area let alone humans in general! You could have gotten hurt, better yet what if a human found out what you were?" Gilbert's face was twisted into a guilty frown as he stared at his shoes.

"I just…I wanted…" Gilbert wasn't sure how to finish that sentence; he honestly didn't know what he really was expecting from the little escapade. Besides whom would he brag to about seeing the human world in all its glory? Why would he want to tell anybody after his instinct had kicked in and he ended up shaking in his shoes? Gilbert felt pretty unawesome and rather ashamed of how badly his escapade went. "You wanted to show how much of a big bad wolf you are, but reality you're just a scared little rabbit who has no idea of the world he has entered." Gilbert bristled, he was not a coward nor was he an idiot and he didn't like being hinted as one either. Yes, he acted stupid jumping into something he was not fully prepared for but that was his mistake and everyone makes them. Obviously just like the Russians parents made one, big, creepy ass mistake.

"I made a mistake! I just wanted to know what the human world was like!" His kind where only told stories like this. They were never allowed to experience such things unless they had been adopted, but usually the owners were too paranoid to ever let them out anyway. Ivan looked at him and sighed in aggravation. "You weren't ready Gilbert! Not by yourself." Gilbert attempted to his arm away from Ivan's but the older boy kept his hold onto the hybrid, only making Gilbert angry. "But that's the only way I can get out! You humans are all the same! We're nothing but property to you!" Ivan's patients was wearing thin when it came to the hybrid, it was also harder to keep people from giving him dirty stares, hearing only a one sided story making him seem like the bad guy.

A very abusive one by the sound of it.

As the two quietly went into the building and into the elevator, much to Gilbert's dismay they entered their home and Gilbert sulked while taking Ivan's bag of baby carrots and munching them angrily. The silence was awkward and Ivan didn't like it neither did Gilbert. Gilbert's red eyes narrowed towards the Russian and was about to open his mouth when the Russian had decided to talk first.

"You're not ready to go out to the human world by yourself yet; you still need me to come with you to introduce you to some things you've never seen. But when I think you're ready and I can trust you then we'll see about letting you experience things without me to guide you." Gilbert looked at Ivan in surprise. Did he just say…He'll let him roam around the city once he's used to it? Gilbert grinned happily as a happy purr left him. He was satisfied with that, and it was a fair deal to him. His grin turned into a small but happy smile. 'Maybe then I'll be able to find you again soon then little brother. Please wait for me.'
