Heyo! Its Roari. Here's chapter 3 and its back to the human world with Gil and Break! Enjoy! This chapter was difficult to write and is shorter than I would like but oh well…

"Gilbert!" Break called as he entered Gil's room. The sun was shining brightly and Gil was sitting at the window, admiring a picture of the five of them.
Break sat beside him on the sunlit sill and smiled.
It was a rather funny picture. Alice and Gil were glaring at each other, an awkward line of tension between them. Ironically, this is where Oz stood. It was Halloween a few months back (it was August now) and they were all in costume. Oz was a butler, an odd but suiting costume. Since Break had gotten random costumes and had them choose, Alice was a rabbit. Gil had been the last to get up, and sadly got the cat costume. Candy corn Break was off to the side with Princess Sharon and Emily was ironically on Sharon's shoulder instead of Break's.
"I miss him," Gilbert admitted, "And I miss the girls too."
"Even Alice?" Break asked.
"Yeah, even Alice."
"Do you want to join me for tea on the balcony?" he started out the room and Gilbert followed hesitantly.
He had just looked back for a moment when he noticed Emily still sitting on the windowsill.
I better take her back to Break…He walked back over to the window and picked her up.
"Don't touch me, Stupid!" the doll yelled, "Baka!"
"What was Break crying about this morning?" Gilbert asked. The question just kind of slipped and Gil was afraid he'd get a sarcastic reply from the doll. It never came.
"Well, you stupid Seaweed Head," Emily replied, "If you don't get your head up Break might just break…no puns there…he LOVED Sharon!"
Gilbert's eyes went wide. He'd never thought of that, never considered Break to be straight. He ACTED so gay that he'd just assumed…
"Oh!" Break declared, coming into the room again, "There you are, Emily! Are you coming, Gilbert?"
Break set the doll on his shoulder and led the way out of the room.
So that was how Break handled things. He hid them! All this time he'd thought Break had just gotten over Sharon, but in truth it was tearing him apart inside, leaving him with nothing but laughter as a comfort.
Gil joined Break on the balcony and waited for Break to say something. That something never came and Break poured the tea.
"Are you alright, Break?" Gil asked when the silence was just too much for him to handle.
"Of course!" he smirked, "Silly boy, why would you think otherwise?"
The doll on his shoulder eyed Gil as if to say "Shut up or I will murder you in your sleep." What scared him the most was that there was no doubt in his mind that she would find a way to do it.
Gilbert shook his head and stuck his fork into the chocolate treat in front of him. He pondered on what Break what must be thinking. If only he knew that Break was keeping everything a secret to protect him, to keep his most precious person safe.
"Good afternoon, Natalie," Break smiled, turning to the blonde hiding behind the curtains inside. Natalie blushed and stepped forward into the light. Her green eyes shone with worry.
"Eques…" Natalie led off. Sharon might be dead, but Eques still roamed the house, consumed by his loss. He liked to linger in Natalie's shadow or in Sharon's old room, left untouched since she departed from this world.
"What about Eques?" Break stood from the table and approached the girl. He smiled, comforting her, "Is that silly horse off again?"
Gilbert smiled at the man's slightly creepy smile and stood next to him. He could hear Break's heartbeat from where he stood and his own heart fluttered.
"Eques is gone…and I don't think he's coming back this time."
"Why do you say that?" It was Gil's turn to ask questions. He didn't care about Eques but so much, but nothing had happened in a long time and he was tired of the boring lifestyle they had adapted.
"He…he went into the abyss…"

Yeah, short chapter but to tell you the truth, I didn't know what to do and I felt like I needed to write some today since I had nothing better to do. Please rate and review! On to chapter 4!
