Chapter 5. I own nothing!!! Sorry it took so long ^^;
The abyss was no simple matter.
Gil and Break stood there a moment as they contemplated the situation. Was it even a situation? Did this truly affect them at all? All they lost was a mourning chain that never did anything but mope anymore. That wasn't huge was it?
But alas, the appearance of their next guest showed that it was in fact, a concern.
"Now," The blonde woman standing before them demanded, "Where is my husband?!" She wore pink and was familiar-too familiar. Break and Gil were so familiar with her (and her husband) in fact that the idea of him being gone nearly made them sick.
"Ada," Break assured, "I have no idea."
But he did have an idea. In fact, he was nearly certain of where Eliot was. Best not to tell Ada though, might be bad for the baby.
Break looked at Gil. This glance seemed to reveal that they were thinking the same thoughts-the abyss. And silently they agreed that it WAS best to keep they're mouths shut. Ada didn't have to know right? Eliot would come back.
"Where's the baby?" Gil asked, trying to get off the subject of Eliot so there was no chance of her discovering the truth.
"Maybe she's in the abyss too!" Emily laughed at her private joke as Ada's face went from sweet to shocked to angry in a matter of seconds. Gil sighed. Break set Emily on the windowsill, planning to 'forget' her later.
"What?" she asked, blinking and smiling at the boys as if she'd been magically transformed into the Wicked Witch of the West. "Where is my husband? The…abyss?"
Ada didn't get angry much. Normally, she was carefree. But ever since she had that baby her mood wasn't as friendly and her patience was nonexistent.
Break and Gilbert ran.
"NO!" Emily called from behind, "Please! Don't leave me with her! BREAK!? GIL!? PLEASE!? I didn't mean it! BREAK!!!"
There were more cries from the other room.
"That was cruel," Gilbert sighed.
Break nodded.
Another silent agreement was made as they hid on the balcony, under a table.
It was bright outside. The sun was high. The tablecloth was white and barely toned the brightness down. The two grown men couldn't fit underneath the circular table very well without their feet hanging out and with Break positioned like a cat, his butt lifted the table up a small fraction every once in awhile.
They would be found.
But now it was silent. No one dare speak or move. The boys prayed that Ada had not brought her cats and did not think to look out here.
Sadly though for the boys, a white head poked its way into the small circle of space. It meowed loudly.
Gil couldn't take it. Break held him down with more force than necessary but the man still shook, still quivered as the cat approached, signaling for its owner to come murder the boys.
The white fluff ball rubbed against Gil's face. He screamed and started to bolt upwards.
Xerxes couldn't have this. Gil would get hurt and it was already inevitable that they'd be found.
He rolled over, pinning the boy to the floor and knocking the table over to its side, sending the dishes crashing to the floor. Both of them knew that they would be found but it didn't matter at the moment.
The cat had run off, terrified of the crashing and Break and Gil found themselves alone.
Break was on top of Gil, his intentions to keep Gil calm had failed. He had his arms pinning Gil's to the floor of the balcony and the rest of his weight on Gil's legs.
Gil swallowed hard, feeling his heart thumping in his chest.
Break waited for Gil to demand release. It never came.
They stayed in this awkward position-silent-for a few moments before Break could take it any longer.
He bent over and softly brushed his lips against Gil's.
The uke for the moment stayed there, wide eyed before slowly shutting them, figuring it was rude to stare when he was actually enjoying it.
The kiss didn't deepen. Thoughts of an open mouthed kiss had just reached Xerxes' mind when Ada came on the scene.
She didn't beat them. She didn't shout. For a moment, she didn't even speak. Break rolled off Gil and looked up at her from the floor, brushing his white hair from his face.
And then she started to cry.
"Please…" she gasped, "Don't you care about me at all?"
The boys exchanged a glance prior to nodding.
"We'll bring Eliot back," Gil ended.
The alliance between the three of them was clear.
Fin~ there's chapter five! I like this one. Please rate and review!
