Four weeks later, a meeting was hectic. There was a lot of yelling, lots of yelling. Megan stood up to leave, but as she stood she was hit with a flying soda. The entire room gasped, especially Alfred since he was the one who through the drink. "Megan, I'm so sorry! That was supposed to hit Ludwig!" Megan started crying and ran out of the room, mostly because that shirt was her absolute favorite. Gilbert, Feliciano, and Alfred ran out after her. Megan was hugging her legs as she sat in a corner. Gilbert knelt down next to her, "Hey…" He said softly, "What's wrong?" Megan sniffled, "I-I got this s-shirt from my only h-human friend who d-died from cancer" She wailed. Alfred's eyes widened, "oh, Megan… I'm so sorry." She looked up, "It's alright. No point in dwelling on the past, right?" Feliciano rubbed her back, "Ve~ I know how you feel bella~" He smiled, "I really do." Megan sniffled, "Really?" "Really~" Gilbert helped her up, "Let's get you back to your house so you can change." Megan looked at him, "Could I just stay home? The meeting isn't really going anywhere at this point…" Gil looked at Alfred, he nodded, "I suppose so… Let's just get you home." Megan nodded as Gilbert led her out of the meeting hall.
Megan walked out of her room in some sweats and a really long shirt. Gilbert looked at her from where he sat on the couch. "What?" He shrugged and looked at the TV. "Do you want some Raman or something?" Gilbert rushed to the kitchen, "Hell yes I do." Megan giggled, "Chicken, beef, or pork?" Gil thought for a minute, "Chicken." Megan cooked them some and handed him a bowl. "Let's go watch some TV." She walked out to the living room. Gilbert followed and plopped down next to her on the couch. Megan turned on Ridiculousness. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed, as a man got 'popsicled' with a skateboard. Gilbert on the other hand was laughing. Megan took the empty bowls and went back to the kitchen. She came out and sat back next to him. "Hey Megs" said Gilbert, who now sat upside down on the couch. "Hm?" She looked at him. "Let's watch a scary movie." Megan nodded and went to find one. As she put the movie in, Gilbert shut the blinds and curtains, "Makes it scarier" He explained. She rolled her eyes and sat back down on the couch.
About 20 minutes in, she screamed as a jumpscare appeared on screen. Gilbert saw an opportunity and wrapped his arm around her, "Don't worry shorty, I'll protect you." Megan looked up at him and almost screamed as the power went off. He stood and looked outside, "Hm… It get's rainy fast…" He looked over at her, "nothing to worry about." Megan hid under a blanket that was on the back of the couch, "…Says you…" She mumbled. Lightning crashed and thunder boomed, scaring the hell out of Megan. Gilbert walked to her, "lemme guess… afraid of storms?" Megan looked at him, "Sadly, yes…" Gilbert picked her up, she squeaked and looked up at him. "Well, let's go take a nap?" He suggested, "To get your mind off the storm?" Megan nodded. Gilbert carried her to her room and set her on her bed. She looked at him, "w-well, so Artie won't get pissy… you'll have to sleep under a different blanket…" He nodded as she laid down, covering herself with a blanket. Gilbert took the one she was using previously and laid down next to her. She jumped slightly as thunder boomed. He slightly wrapped an arm around her, "it's alright." Megan nodded and cuddled closer, making him blush. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. He smiled at her and did the same, hoping that he was helping somewhat.
