Authors note: Thank you so much for the reviews! Here is the next chapter.

Warning: Sexual situations. More like a lime ahead. Enjoy. :)

He felt so much better. After inviting Gilbert to his concert, it felt like a load was lifted off his shoulders. Even though they haven't talked in a week, he felt so relieved when he got to see him again. It was like he was acting like a little school girl with the way he was feeling.

Roderich played his violin this time producing a soothing melody. He couldn't remember the last time he played it and it honestly felt good for a change.

And now that he and Gilbert were talking again, he felt like he could accomplish anything.

Even if he had to hide his feelings from him now on, as long as he still had him as a friend, nothing else mattered.

But actually one thing did matter and it was his performance. At this moment he should really be practicing his pieces for the concert.

On the fifth of next month, which was only about a week away, he would be performing on stage in front of many. There were a couple other performers playing along with him, but he had the last concluding part so he wanted to make it good.

Not just good, great. He wanted it to be magnificent. He wanted his audience to know him for his amazing music and to want to come see him more often.

Whether he became famous or not, he just wanted to be recognized for his talented work.

To this day he has been working non-stop on the piano, so why not take a five minute break and play the violin?

Roderich moved the violin wand against the chords as he closed his eyes leaning into the music that he produced. The sound turned from happy to something sad like. He couldn't actually put a finger on it, but he guessed it could have sounded like a longing for something.

Or someone.

Just as he was getting really into it, he felt a pair of arms circle around his waist and pull him back.

"Ah!" He gasped out as he felt the strong arms press him closer to their body.

"Guess who~?" The person whispered into his ear making him shiver slightly.

He knew exactly who it was, but he wanted to stay in that position for just a little longer just to savor the moment.

"I don't know, you tell me?" Roderich flirted back as he felt Gilbert graze his lips across his neck slightly just barely touching.

Oh how he didn't want this to stop.

Then suddenly Gilbert let go of him and laughed. "Haha, you know it was me Roddy. Why play stupid?" He moved to go sit at the piano seat just as Roderich had time to gather himself inside before facing the man.

He turned around quickly when Gilbert started to jam at the keys of the piano. Now the mood was totally ruined because he was screwing around with his musical instruments!

"Hey don't touch that!" Roderich shouted while walking over to Gilbert and smacking his hands away.

Gilbert frowned. "Oh come on specs, I want to play too." He whined. "You're hogging all the wunderbar instruments!"

Roderich growled and pointed in another direction. "Get off my seat now."

Gilbert sighed dramatically. "Okay okay mean guy. I'll leave you to your most precious specimen."

Gilbert got off the seat and Roderich felt himself calming now.

It was one thing to mess around with his feelings, but it was a total other thing when he messed around with his music.

"You want to learn? Then hire an instructor! Now let me be so I can play." Roderich took Gilbert's former spot at the piano.

Gilbert scoffed. "Why can't you teach me?"

"I don't have time." Roderich closed his eyes trying to ignore him and started to play.

"Psh, whatever. Not like you know how to teach anyways." Gilbert struck back as he started to walk out of the room.

This got to Roderich's ego somehow as he stopped playing right in the middle of his verse.

"What do you mean I can't teach? I would probably be one of the best instructors in the world!"

"Haha, sure. Keep dreaming." Gilbert rolled his eyes and pounced onto the couch by the corner of the room.

Roderich thought for a second about what he had said. What, he really didn't believe he could do it? Well it would be difficult because he was an idiot and all and it would be a waste of time. But now he was curious. Did he really have the ability to teach, especially to someone who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? Could be a challenge…but he was up for it.

"Kommen Sie hier." 'Come here.' Roderich asked looking away from Gilbert.

"Huh what was that now specs?" Gilbert asked questioningly because he wasn't too sure if he heard him right.

"I said come here before I change my mind!"

"Wow okay psycho, hold your horses." Gilbert got up from the couch and walked over to him at the piano.

Roderich felt uneasy about this, but he wanted to prove to the man that he was very capable of teaching music to someone who has no knowledge whatsoever.

"Sit." Roderich pointed.

Gilbert sat on the ground.

"What the hell? I meant the chair dummkopf!" Roderich shouted and smacked his forehead in annoyance.

"Oh. Well you weren't specific enough." Gilbert got off of the floor and took a seat next to Roderich at the piano.

For some reason, when he sat next to him he felt kind of strange. Like a nervous feeling, but excited at the same time.

Roderich cleared his throat and placed his hand on Gilbert's guiding him to the keys.

"Are you ready?"

Gilbert nodded and pressed down onto the keys. A rough sound occurred at first causing Roderich to shake his head in disapproval.

"Nein, like this." He gently took Gilbert's hand and placed his finger down on the key carefully and put pressure so that it produced a soft tone.

Gilbert was surprised at first but then he went to go do it again. While producing the same tone, he allowed Roderich to guide him to create another sound.

Back and forth they played until Gilbert was staring to get the hang of it. When Roderich removed his hand from his, he started to play fine on his own.

Gilbert pressed a couple of keys and then tried something of his own that produced a nice little melody which caused Roderich to watch in disbelief.

Roderich sat back and watched in awe as Gilbert started to play the simple notes to himself.

Never would he have thought that he could teach another something and have them take control so soon after like this.

It was amazing to watch. Gilbert, a man who was strange, playing simple keys on the piano. It was definitely a sight to see.

After a couple of random keys have been played, Gilbert stopped and looked to Roderich for approval.

Roderich had no idea that this idiot could actually play. He was surprised and at the same time impressed at his knowledge of skill.

"Very good." He said. "Now since you got the basics correct, let's try something a little more difficult."

Roderich placed his fingers on the left side of the piano and hit a couple of keys going upwards creating an alto and then a soprano tune.

Gilbert watched in amusement as he finished his sample and then it was his turn.

"Psh, what a piece of cake. Watch this." Gilbert placed his fingers on the soprano part of the keys and then ran his fingers down one by one ceremoniously towards the alto part of the piano.

When he finished, he realized that he had been leaning on Roderich slightly as he blushed and looked up to meet his eyes.

"Um, yea. So what do you think?" He asked as he stared into nervous and curious violet eyes.

"I, um." Roderich was trembling a little bit both from surprise and from being nervous. "That was…good. Yes, but um, now we should…" He didn't know what else to say.

The albino was staring at him in a way that was starting to make him sweat. Their bodies were very close together as Gilbert moved in just inches away from his lips. There was nothing more for him to say rather than to stare back at his red orbs and then down to his lips...

"So…what else do you have to teach?" Gilbert breathed.

Roderich felt a shiver at his words as he felt his hot breath against his lips. His eyes closed slowly trying to figure out a way to respond.

"Whatever..you want to learn." Was the best he could come up with at the moment.

Gilbert smirked and quickly placed a kiss to the side of his mouth eliciting a surprised gasp from the other.

"Oh, I have many things I want to learn Roddy. And this just so happens to be one of them."

Without warning, Gilbert scooted off the chair and crouched down to the floor.

Roderich didn't know what was going on until he looked down and saw Gilbert kneeling in between his legs from under the piano.

"What are you-"

"Shh." Gilbert shushed him and stared to unbuckle his pants.

Roderich's heart was beating a million miles per minute as he watched him undo his pants. He put his hands out and tried to push him away. He couldn't believe what he was doing and he didn't know how to react.

"Gilbert, wait, you-"

"I want to do this Roddy. I want to learn about you now."

Roderich felt a shiver of arousal flow through him as he watched Gilbert yank off his belt aggressively and threw it across the room.

"Ah!" Roderich yelped and blushed furiously. "G-Gilbert what-"

But before he could protest, Gilbert quickly unzipped his pants and pulled them all the way down to his ankles along with his undergarments.

Roderich gasped as his half hard member was now fully exposed to him.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing!?" He exclaimed in his last attempt to try to push him away. He wanted to pull his pants right back up because he knew the man's intentions now and it was starting to make him feel overwhelmed with arousal.

"What I wanted to do from the beginning." Gilbert said as he stared into his confused violet eyes above him once before he lowered his head.

Roderich was taken aback by what was going on. He didn't understand any of this. But, despite his confusion, he let out a small moan at the feel of Gilbert's lips that were pressed against the head of his member.

"D-Don't.." He breathed as his eyes became half lidded with pleasure staring into red eyes below him.

"I want to Roddy…I've wanted to do this to you for a while now."

He really couldn't believe this was happening right now.

Gilbert lowered his head again and took in his member. Roderich gasped and continued to watch as he started to move his lips up and down on his cock. Slowly he began to suck and Roderich's breathing became faster.

It was too much. This wasn't supposed to happen to them. But it was. And he couldn't stop himself now as he leaned back on the piano chair and arched his back lolling his head to the side.

"Oh…" He took a gasping breath when he felt Gilbert suck harder. "Oh, Gilbert..."

Gilbert opened his eyes and stared back at him in the most erotic way while he bobbed his head up and down. Roderich had said his name and it made him even more aroused for the man.

Roderich stared back and suddenly got chills that ran up and down his body. Oh God, who cared what he was doing right now? What was happening to him was the best thing he had ever felt in his life.

Slowly Roderich felt himself give in to the feeling. Out of nowhere Gilbert had wanted to do this. He gave no warning, no signs or verbal agreement before this action. And now he was succumbed to this ecstasy that he never wanted to stop.

Roderich tried his best to keep his composure. He wanted so badly to moan and speak out his feelings for the other, but he was much too embarrassed to do so.

Instead he whimpered slightly feeling Gilbert's warm slick lips move up and down over him.

Roderich arched some more and closed his eyes shut with his mouth somewhat agape trying his best not to let out how he felt.

What he was doing to him was one of the best feelings he ever felt before. He felt himself getting closer as Gilbert started to move faster and sucked a little harder.

"Oh.." Roderich let out a moan unintentionally as Gilbert twisted his tongue along his vein on the underside of his cock.

Gilbert pulled away and stared straight into his lust filled eyes. "Do you like it?" Gilbert breathed against his member as he teased his head with his tongue and Roderich almost felt like he was at the point he was going to explode. "Don't hold back Roddy. I want to hear you scream for me." He breathed in the sexiest way and Roderich felt another shiver run through him.

This was all too much. He didn't have enough time to collect himself because Gilbert went right back to going down on him.

"Ahh.." Roderich moaned as he felt Gilbert continue his action at sucking him with more fervor. He had given up at this point and decided to let go and enjoy it.

He breathed hard and panted as he tried to respond back. He was so close. He couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes." He hissed and moaned while arching his hips up for him to take him in more, and he did just that.

Gilbert took him more into his mouth and started to suck up and down moving much quicker now. When he sucked he made slow slurping sounds and all kinds of other sounds that sent Roderich over the edge.

Roderich's breath hitched as he leaned forward with one hand grabbing Gilbert's hair and the other landing hard on the keys before him making the piano produce a long alto like tune. He pushed hard on his head to keep moving against him as he let out a long moan that he could have sworn echoed throughout the room. His orgasm ran through him as he cried out Gilbert's name and came hard into his mouth.

"Gilbert! Oh fuck, ahh.." He was pressing down on Gilbert's head as he shot his cum down his throat so he could swallow every last bit of it that he had.

Roderich panted and watched as Gilbert pulled away and swallowed his cum.

Beside his moment of bliss, realization swam over him. Gilbert had given him a blowjob and he couldn't believe it.

Though suddenly he felt weak and relaxed. It was as if all the tension has left his body and this is what he really needed to calm down all along.

As if this whole time he had sexual tension built up inside of him and it finally it was released.

Regardless of the amazing head he just received, he felt more embarrassed now more than ever.

Gilbert smiled up at him while wiping away anything left over on his face.

"Was it good?" He asked somewhat panting with eyes glazed over with lust.

Roderich couldn't believe he had asked that?! Of course it was good. It was amazing. He never experienced anything sexual in his life before and he was surprised he lasted that long.

But this was so awkward. So very awkward.

"Y-Yes, but please just g-get up from under there." Roderich stuttered a little because of his embarrassment.

His cheeks were flaming hot as Gilbert went ahead and started to pull his pants back up for him. But Roderich stopped him.

"No I'll do that. Just…go sit down." Roderich moved his hands away and pulled up his own pants while Gilbert went to go sit back down on the seat next to him.

All the while Roderich was thinking, 'How the hell did that just happen?'

Gilbert waited patiently while Roderich fixed his pants and then stared at the piano keys before him.

There was an awkward moment of silence as he could feel another sort of tension rising. Gilbert was staring at him, but he just couldn't bring himself to look him in the eyes.

"You looked really hot. Look what you did to me." Gilbert chuckled and moved his arm from his lap showing off his erection. Roderich turned to look and blushed even more while turning back his focus to the keys.

"Shut up." He responded back weakly.

"You know.." He laughed. "I am a better piano player than you." Gilbert smirked.

Roderich scoffed and turned to face him. "Oh really? How so?" He asked somewhat amused.

"Because I created my own music with the use of your body. I didn't even have to use my hands." Gilbert chuckled as he wiggled his fingers playfully in Roderich's face.

Roderich immediately turned away because he felt like he was going to explode in embarrassment. "Shut up! Don't say that."

"No." Gilbert stopped his laughter now as he suddenly grabbed his chin and turned his face to him and stared into his eyes. Roderich gasped as he struggled to move away, but he held him there sternly.

"No…I want to say those things. I like what I did to you. I like how we are together and I like this. And especially, I like you."

Before he could respond back, Gilbert moved forward and pressed his lips to his.

Roderich's heart started to beat fast as he felt Gilbert prod his mouth with his tongue. He felt himself give in immediately and let himself go to one of the most passionate kisses he has ever had. His legs felt weak as his eyes slid closed and he started to kiss back.

Their mouths moved with one another as both of their breathing picked up. Every once in a while one would let out a gasp or a moan. He didn't know who, and honestly he didn't care. This kiss felt so real, so good. He knew this was weird to do all of this with his friend, but maybe this was what he wanted all along.

Gilbert pulled away while panting a little. He stared at his lips and moved his thumb across his bottom lip smoothly.

"Come to bed with me." He asked in a whisper and Roderich felt like he would just melt right there.

As much as he wanted to join his friend in bed and rid his virginity, he knew this was going way too fast. He didn't know how to say this without hurting his feelings.

After about a couple of seconds, he came to a decision and broke eye contact with him and looked down in between them.

"We can't." He sighed.

Gilbert lifted his chin once again so he could look at him. "Why not?"

"We shouldn't do this Gilbert. How do I know if you or I really want this? We could ruin everything…"

"I want this and I want you." Gilbert breathed and kissed him again.

Roderich gasped and whimpered as Gilbert began kissing him once again. This time it was with need and want. He knew very well that the man had all the power to make him do what he wanted. But this needed to stop. This he couldn't go through with. Not yet anyways.

Roderich pushed him away a little so that their lips parted. He was gasping for air because of the passion they both had shared together, but he needed to do this.

"No. Let's not do this. Not now at least." He felt bad for saying this, but he knew they would regret it if things didn't work out well in the end. They would never be able to keep their friendship knowing that they had sex before. It was just be too awkward.

Gilbert's light in his eyes faded a little as he leaned back away from him. "Why not? I just sucked your cock two minutes ago and now you're having second thoughts?" He raised his eyebrow in annoyance.

"No I'm not! What I meant to say is that…I want to take it slow with you. I don't want to rush things and then end up regretting it all."

Suddenly Gilbert smiled.

Wait what? Why was he smiling?

"Soo…what you're saying is that we now have a relationship together?" He smirked and Roderich blushed.

"I, ah, no, what?" He looked away trying not to stare at Gilbert's mischievous smile.

"Oh come on Roddy. You know you want me!" He hugged him close and kissed his neck.

"So is that a yes?"

Roderich didn't know what he was agreeing on. Yes, he had made many agreements with the damn idiot before, but this one was serious. This took their relationship to the next level and he wasn't too sure if he was ready yet.

But then he thought that maybe he did want this. No matter how much he hated him sometimes, the man always gave him butterflies and made him happy in the strangest ways. So why not give it a try?

"Okay." Roderich responded in barely enough for him to hear.

"What was that? Repeat I cannot hear you!"

"I said alright!" Roderich yelled in his face and Gilbert smiled. He loved the way Roddy looked when he was all upset and flushed looking.

"Then it's settled, meine Liebe." He grabbed Roderich's hand and brought it to his lips giving it a kiss.

Roderich stared at his now new boyfriend in wonder. Could this really work out? He guessed he was just about to find out.

Heaven knows what would happen now that they were together.

Two days. Just two more days until his concert.

He was ecstatic. He was so happy but at the same time wanted to cry in a corner like a little sissy girl.

He knew he was more than ready, but he wasn't sure if he would just freak out in the middle of it and ruin it all.

He was scared, so scared. He needed more motivation!

Roderich practically threw on whatever clothes that were present in his drawer and ran down the stairs. He needed to go find Gilbert so that he could make him his audience for now.

His mind was running a million miles per hour that when he reached the bottom of the stairs he didn't even notice the nice smell coming from the kitchen.

He ran into the kitchen and was just about to exit his home when he heard, "Willst du Kaffee?" 'Do you want coffee?'

"Ahh!" Roderich stumbled and fell to the floor in shock.

Gilbert had been in his kitchen making them breakfast and he had scared the shit out of him. Now he felt like a complete idiot lying face down on the floor.

Could this day start off any worse?

"Need some help there specs?" Gilbert laughed as he stared at the fallen man.

"Nein, I am fine!" Roderich angrily got up off the floor and fixed his shirt. His face was so red Gilbert thought he was looking at a human tomato.

"I made us some breakfast whenever you're done being such a spaz."

Roderich snarled and turned to face the albino. "What are you doing in my house anyways?! I never invited you in!"

"Well I kind of thought I was allowed to since you know, we got together and stuff." He shrugged.

"I never gave you permission to enter my house! How long were you here anyways?" Roderich eyed the plates of food on the counter. Maybe it must have been a good hour.

"Only a half hour. Calm down guy, it looks like you're about to explode, kesese!" Gilbert turned around to retrieve their plates.

Roderich stood there staring at the man like he was going to explode at any minute. At the same time, he was kind of thankful for the breakfast. Also, he just remembered to keep his cool with the guy especially since now they were a couple.

"Sit down. The food is ready." Roderich complied and sat at the table. Gilbert followed after he served their food and began eating while completely ignoring him.

Roderich stared at his plate before finally digging into the meal. He was actually pretty hungry, and this looked nicely made. He never knew he could cook and he was honestly impressed.

"So what are you going to do today?" Gilbert asked while chewing food in his mouth.

Roderich hated when he did that so he just cringed and looked down to his own plate. "I have to practice. The concert is in two days and I was hoping you could be my audience for now."

"That's awesome! I would love to!" Gilbert exclaimed excitedly as he stuffed more food into his mouth.

"Good. Then after we are done, let's go to the music room so I can rehearse." Roderich took a big bite of his food.

"Can I touch you inappropriately while you play?"

Roderich choked on his food. He coughed a little and then swallowed it down dryly. "What? Is that all you think about lately?!"

"Sometimes. No wait, most of the time. Kesese!" Gilbert cracked up and it only made him more annoyed.

"Well the answer is no. You're not allowed to molest me anymore when I'm playing."

"What about afterwards?" Gilbert winked at him.

Roderich's cheeks heated up. "I don't…maybe…stop asking me these things!" Roderich shoved more food into his mouth trying to hide his flushed face.

Gilbert laughed some more. He absolutely loved to torture him.

"Haha, just kidding with you. We should go out and drink instead!"

Roderich rolled his eyes. "You are such an alcoholic."

"So what? It makes life more fun. What do you say?"

"Hah, so you can rape me while I'm intoxicated? I'd have to respectfully deny."

"Aww come on Roddy! For me please?" Gilbert gave him a sad face and he sighed.

"Fine. But I swear if you touch me in any way, I will be forced to hurt you."

"You got yourself a deal." He held out his hand for him to shake and Roderich shook it.

Sure he agreed not to touch him and he wouldn't. But Rod never said anything about if he were to molest him while under the influence.

Gilbert smirked at him wickedly. This should turn out interesting.

Gilbert had kept his promise.

They sat together at the local bar consuming drink after drink as Gilbert glanced at the clock above the bar. After Roderich's practice, they went to the bar and now only two hours had passed and he was already getting tipsy. He then glanced over to Roderich at his side and noticed that he had a dumb smile on his face.

He couldn't help but stare and when Roderich noticed and gave him a scowl he turned away and smirked to himself.

"What are you looking at?" He slurred a little and Gilbert almost choked on his drink trying to hold back his laugh.

"Nothing, you just look so cute all drunk and shit." Gilbert chuckled and Roderich smacked his arm.

"Shut up. It's not like your any better yourself!" Roderich took his drink in hand and chugged the rest of it down.

Gilbert scoffed at him. "Such a gentleman you claim to be. Look at you, that's your third drink tonight! You sure you're going to be okay?"

"Ja I will be fine! I'm just…thinking about things."

Suddenly Gilbert got a weird twist in his stomach. What did he mean by that? Was he bothered by them being together so soon?

He wanted to prod him more about what he meant, but he decided to be quiet instead.

Roderich noticed his silence and quickly spoke. "No, no not about us. About the concert! I'm just a little…nervous that's all." Roderich looked the other way and frowned. Gilbert couldn't help but smile and scooted closer to him with his bar stool.

"Aw come on Roddy! I told you that you will do great!" He exclaimed in his drunken manner and patted his shoulder. "Remember the last time I told you that you would be fine and then you got in? Please, there's no need to worry about anything!"

Roderich sighed. "But what if I mess up? What if I screw thing up and ruin the only chance I had at becoming a well known musician?" He called over the bar tender with his hand for another drink trying to drink away his depression.

Gilbert sighed and put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him close to his body.

Roderich always smelled good. To him he smelled like damp roses after a rainfall mixed with a sweet smell that he loved so much.

"You'll do fine Rod. I'll be there to watch you and make sure you do well."

He dug his nose into his chestnut colored hair and closed his eyes breathing in his scent. Gott he was so happy they were finally together. It had been years that he has been forming these weird feelings for his friend and now that he had him, he never wanted to lose him.

All he wanted to do was to hold him forever and never let go. He knew this had to be somewhat a form of love, but he didn't want to just blurt it out until he felt they felt the same about each other. It had to be mutual or else it would be uncomfortable.

He was so deep into his thoughts that he totally forgot about his promise not to touch him as he quickly moved away from him and attended to his own drink before he had noticed.

Thankfully Roderich didn't notice because he was already getting way too plastered.

Actually, he should stop him about now. Roderich was swaying in his seat and started to hum a tune that gave him the heads up that it was time to go.

"Okay I think it's time we go home." Gilbert got up from his seat and paid the bartender. Then he moved to grab his hand but then was pushed away.

"Nein, I want to stay and drink!" Roderich giggled and playfully pushed Gilbert away more.

Gilbert smirked and rolled his eyes.

'He's so cute when he's hammered.' He thought as he went back to sitting down on the stool. Why fight with the Austrian when he could just let him get his way and then have him regret it in the morning with a major hangover?

But then, he really wanted to show his boyfriend that he was mature enough and that he could trust him. So he figured he could torture him another day.

Screw the promise, if Roddy wasn't going to move, then he would have to carry him out of there.

"Come on sir drink a lot. Let's go home." Gilbert grabbed his arm and started to drag him out of the bar.

"Nein, Ich will nicht zu gehen!" 'I don't want to go!'

Gilbert sighed. "Fine."

He let go of Roderich's arm and then he relaxed and smiled. Roderich thought he was off the hook, but then Gilbert tricked him and quickly grabbed him by his waist and flung him over his shoulder.

Roderich gasped and started to pound at his back for him to let go.

"Let me go you idiot! Put me down this instant!"

"Nein, du bist gehen zu bett jetzt!" 'No, you're going to bed now!'

Gilbert kicked opened the bar door and walked out while carrying along a screaming drunk Austrian on his shoulder.

Gilbert would have loved for him to molest him when he was drunk. But as the night went by, he realized that he really didn't want that to happen.

He thought about it long and hard and realized that he actually had strong feelings for the man and that he didn't want to ruin anything because of his raging hormones.

Of course if Roderich wanted to fuck around when he was sober, he would no doubt jump on it. But what he felt at this moment while staring down at the sleeping form on his bed was that he wanted to take things easy.

It was scary what he felt for Roderich. The smaller, slender Austrian man who dressed well all the time. Who played music professionally, and had amazing violet eyes behind those cute glasses that he just wanted to stare into all day if he could.

Yep. He was definitely head over heels for him. He couldn't understand how all of this happened so fast. But he remembered the day that he almost drowned and was saved by him; he couldn't help but feel that he would have a future with the guy.

And here they were now. Years later together starting a relationship together. It was an awkward relationship yes, but it felt right. That's all that mattered. All he wanted was for Roderich to be happy and that made him happy as well.

He stared at the sleeping man as he carefully removed his glasses and settled them on the side table by his bed. He had already removed his coat and put it in his closet and then off went his shoes. He didn't know how Roderich liked to sleep. Whether naked or with clothes, but he decided on the better part and kept the clothes on. He was pretty sure he wouldn't like it if he woke up naked not knowing how he got undressed in the first place.

Though the image would be hilarious. Kesesese.

After he felt like Roderich was comfortable enough, he turned off the light and started to exit his room so that he could go home.

"Where are you going?" A voice came as he stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"What?"

"Why are you leaving?" Roderich whimpered tiredly as he moved a little in his bed.

Was he sleeping or something? Why would he ask him that?

"Are you awake?"

"No."

Gilbert chuckled. "Well regardless I'm going home. I have to sleep too you know?"

"Sleep with me."

Gilbert felt a sudden chill run through him as his eyes widened. Did he just ask to sleep with him? For a minute it sounded wrong, but he knew what the guy meant. He would sleep over, but what if he was still drunk and wouldn't remember it in the morning?

Though it sounded tempting and made him a little excited. Plus, Roddy's bed looked much more soft and comfortable than his own.

Also, it would be hilarious if he woke up and saw him in bed with him not remembering the night before. The reaction he would get would be so great. Even better if he had undressed him the night before and they both woke up naked with each other even though nothing had happened. Kesesese.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Roderich groaned and Gilbert snapped out of his thought realizing that he was laughing out loud.

"No I'm not, I just, ah are you sure it's okay?"

"Yes verdammt! Get in already."

Gilbert shrugged and took off his shoes making his way into Roderich's bed.

He was right. The bed was incredibly soft and comfortable. He really needed to buy a new bed if his own soon because this felt ridiculously good.

He felt Roderich spoon him from behind as he reached an arm over and tugged at his waist to move closer to him. His warmth sent chills through his skin and it felt nice.

Roderich felt good. He sighed as he closed his eyes and closed his hand over his squeezing it a little to show his appreciation.

This was so perfect between the two of them. For once, he would have a good night's rest and what made it even better was that Roddy was next to him while he slept.

If this night went as good as this, he wondered and couldn't help but feel excited about the future days and nights to come.

The next morning Gilbert woke up to an empty bed. At first he was a little confused as to where he was, but then remembered that he had slept over Roddy's.

He was shocked to see that Roderich didn't freak out when he woke up in the morning. He wished he saw his reaction when he woke, but then thought that maybe he didn't react badly at all.

It was somewhat of a bummer, but at the same time he was happy that he didn't freak out at him.

Plus it was way too early for him to be up anyways. Ten thirty in the morning? Oh hell no! He was going back to bed.

About an hour passed as he stirred awake to a pleasant sound. It was coming from downstairs so he figured it was probably him just paying his piano again.

But it sounded nice. It was something he saw himself waking up to every morning. Also, along with a nice breakfast of course. But now he was looking way too far ahead of himself.

What if this thing they had together lasted for a long time? Would Roderich consider marrying him and they could grow old together?

The thought kind of scared him. But he knew Roderich for years now, so he didn't see why not. But it was too early for that. Those were just nice thoughts he had and wouldn't act on them for a long time. He wanted to make sure that the man loved him first before making such a huge step.

But he could still dream for now.

He sighed and smiled as he stared up at the ceiling. After a couple of moments later, he stretched and got up from the bed.

He had realized that he still had his clothes on from last night and he needed a shower. Roderich's bed was comfortable, but very warm. He had sweat a little overnight and now he just felt gross.

He made his way downstairs and found his way into the music room.

Roderich was of course playing his loving piano and hadn't even noticed he was standing there in the doorway staring. He always loved the way Rod looked when he played his music. He always looked so serious but peaceful when he played.

Soon after a couple of minutes he stopped and looked to where Gilbert was standing.

"Gute Morgen." 'Good morning.' He said.

"Gute Morgen Roderich." Gilbert smiled.

"I see you finally woke up. Do you want something to eat?"

Okay, this was strange. Wouldn't he be ticked off at him right now?

"Uhh..no thanks. I have to go home and shower anyways."

"Oh okay. Well, see you later then." Roderich turned his attention back to the piano completely ignoring him.

Wait was he seriously not upset?

"Ah, okay…hey Roddy?"

"Hm?" Roderich answered while he kept playing.

"Um, aren't you like, mad at me or something?"

"For what?" Roderich frowned.

"For sleeping in your bed. Do you remember anything last night?"

"Of course I do. I wasn't that drunk." He scoffed and for some reason that made him happy. Roderich really did want to sleep next to him. This made his heart skip a beat in happiness.

Gilbert smiled and waved at him. "Okay then, see ya specs." He exited the room and let himself out of his home.

It seemed like things were going well for them so far. There was less fighting and arguing, though he did miss it just a little, and Roderich had wanted to be closer to him.

He had a smile on his face as he made his way into his own home. Nothing could tear them apart now. They were meant for each other and Gilbert swore to be the very best to him because he was his best friend and he was...the love of his life.

Today was an important day. Today Roderich had the chance to rehearse his music at the auditorium where he was going to perform the next night.

This was a good thing that he was able to do this because he could have a feel of what it was going to be like. Though there were no people in the large room with him.

He thought that to better help his nervous situation, he could just focus on his music and keeps his eyes closed most of the time. That way, he would be able to put on a great show and not freak out during it.

Also, he was happy that Gilbert was coming to watch his performance. He didn't think the guy would want to, but he had accepted the invitation with a smile.

That smile of his…he couldn't get enough of it. Also lately he's been acting more mature, which he liked but he still kind of missed when he would annoy him and then they would argue.

But he guessed that Gilbert wanted to act differently now that they were together. Which he liked because it was less stress and more of a chance for them to stay together for a long time.

Especially about what happened last night when he asked for him to sleep in the same bed. Of course he was tipsy out of his mind, but he still knew what he had said and he meant it. He had more courage then to ask him because he was drunk and the last thing he wanted was to sleep alone.

For some reason he felt like Gilbert would protect him and watch over him. Gilbert was about his height but a larger build than him. He himself had a skinny body and never worked out. But when he saw Gilbert without a shirt on, the man had some nice pecks on him. He also had abs which kind of made him jealous, but overall he loved his body. The more reason why he wanted to sleep next to him last night. His body felt so warm and nice against his.

Maybe tonight he'll ask him to sleep over again…

Roderich began his first verse as he smiled to himself at the nice thought. Having Gilbert around wasn't as much as a distraction as it was before and it was becoming somewhat pleasant.

He wanted to learn more about the man because obviously, he knew a lot more about him than he was supposed to yet.

Roderich's face burned a little at the thought. Gilbert had gone down on him and he enjoyed it. It was so sudden but after a while he realized that it was perfect. He broke the ice that was between them and now Roderich wouldn't feel as weird if he were to engage in anything sexual again.

His mind drifted off to the both of them getting intimate once more. How if the next time he would go down on him and return the favor.

A shiver ran through him as he continued playing trying to rid those naughty thoughts he was having. He shouldn't be thinking about these things now especially when he had his performance tomorrow.

Though, after the show, things would be different. He figured he was ready to do more things with Gilbert. Especially after the concert if he did well, his confidence level would rise, and then they could…

He blushed and took in a breath to calm himself now. He was becoming aroused just thinking about it.

Suddenly the door to the auditorium opened and slammed shut. Roderich jumped a little in his seat and felt embarrassed for thinking of such things when he was practicing. He had to hide his erection now since someone had walked in.

Oh Gott, he hoped it wasn't the music director.

"Hello, I couldn't help but come and see who was playing such a nice tune." The man smiled as he walked closer.

Roderich blushed even more as he shifted and crossed his legs to hide his erection that wouldn't go down.

"Ah, thank you." Was all he could say. How embarrassing. He hoped the guy wouldn't notice.

"No problem at all. I like your music. You are new here right? I'm Eric." The guy was now next to him at the piano with his hand out for him to shake.

Roderich hesitated at first but then shook his hand. He looked him over and noticed he was very handsome. He had to be about his age because he looked young and his hair was long and black that stopped at his shoulders. He had such amazing blue eyes that he couldn't look away although he wanted to because he was still embarrassed.

"I'm Roderich." He said slowly.

"Well Roderich, would you be so kind to keep playing? I would love to listen to the rest of your piece." He smiled.

Roderich stared at his mouth which was full of perfect straight white teeth and his lips were much plumper than a women's. He was astonished with the way this man looked. He had to be a musician somehow otherwise why else would he be here?

"Sure. O-Okay, please take a seat." Roderich urged him to sit as he got ready to play once of his pieces.

As the man found his way off the stage and to the audience area, Roderich couldn't help but to feel extremely nervous.

This was only one man! Why was he getting so nervous now? He wondered now if he could really go through with this performance.

Even though he felt tense, he placed his fingers on the keys and started to play. He closed his eyes and let himself go to the music.

He played the best piece he could do so he could entertain his guest and show just how good he was.

Minutes passed as he slowed to a finish and he looked to the man.

"How was that?" He said as he lifted his eyebrow.

Eric smirked and started to clap his hands. "Very good. But now…"

He paused what he was going to say as he made his way back onto the stage and walked to where he was sitting. The man had the nerve to sit down right next to him on the piano seat and scooted him over so he could make room.

Roderich wanted to ask what he was doing, but then he started to play.

What an extraordinary tune he made as Roderich quickly shut his mouth and listened.

The key notes that he hit were just right and he produced an amazing piece that he never heard before. It was lively and wild and he couldn't help but stare at the man's face as he played.

His eyes were closed and eyebrows furrowed like he was so into the music as his fingers danced along the keys.

Then when he was close to finishing, he slowed down and created a morbid tune that made Roderich's heart skip a beat.

His fingers reached Roderich's side as it slowed and came to a stop.

His heart was beating fast from what this man could play and he never felt so amazed and intimidated before in his life.

"So…how did you like it?" Eric asked. Roderich just now noticed that the man was mere inches from his face so he could feel his breath.

He was speechless as he stared into those vibrant blue eyes.

"Want me to show you another?" He raised an eyebrow as if challenging him.

"No." Roderich breathed. He snapped out of the man's gaze and looked down to the piano keys. "You are…amazing."

Eric chuckled as he laid his own hand on Roderich's. Roderich quickly looked back to the man in shock. What was he doing?

"Go out to dinner with me?" He asked in a deep sexy voice.

"Yes." Roderich spoke and quickly shut his mouth after realizing what he had just done.

He didn't know where that came from and he wanted to take it back so bad. It was like this man had hypnotized him into saying something he didn't want to.

Plus he was with Gilbert! It was wrong to go out with another man when he was in a relationship. He was about to tell the man that he was involved and couldn't before he sat up from the chair and spoke.

"Good. Well then I'll pick you up after tomorrow's performance then?"

Roderich didn't move or sat anything. He just stared at the piano speechless as the man got up from the chair and made his leave.

Tomorrow? After the show? Wait, so the man was a part of the concert?

It now made sense. The way he played was the most amazing thing he had ever heard. He was nowhere near the level as to what this man could do. So he wondered if he was the best pianist around. He had to be. He was too good to be playing at a small concert like that.

But regardless of that, he was stuck. He had just accepted to go on a date with a stranger when he knew that he was very much into his best friend. He felt sick to his stomach because he had just made a grave mistake and this would probably ruin them for good.

Why did he say yes? Why couldn't he tell him then that he was in a happy relationship and that he wasn't interested? Why was it so hard to say no?

Now he was in trouble. He had no way to get out of this. He had to come up with a way to respectfully decline the date when the concert was over.

Should he say something to Gilbert about this? He wondered if it would be best to explain everything in detail about the way he was practically manipulated by….by the man's charm? No, that didn't sound good at all.

He couldn't up right and tell Gilbert that he had accepted the date because of the man's charm and looks. No that was totally wrong.

So then what? What was he supposed to do?

He guessed he would wait until the next night. The night of the performance to come out and tell Gilbert what had happened. Maybe he would forgive him and understand. Right?

He had to understand. He would introduce Eric to Gilbert and then the man should understand.

But then he would look bad because he had already said yes.

This was too much stress and pressure put on him which was worse than the performance to come. What was he supposed to do now?

Reviews greatly appreciated. Thanks!
