Song: Kiss The Girl
Prussia/Fem!Canada
Gilbert leaned against the wall of the gymnasium and watched couples dance their way across the floor. He could see a few familiar faces amid the crowd, Romano and Carmen for instance, and François with her date Philip. He spotted his cousin Roderich dancing with his (slightly crazy/annoying) girlfriend Elizaveta. Gilbert thumped his head softly against the concrete wall and groaned. Every year for three years he'd been the life of the party at Homecoming, but this year not only was he too depressed to dance, he didn't even have a date. That's right, he, the awesome Gilbert Weillschmidt, didn't have a date for Homecoming. He didn't have a date because…he was too afraid to ask her. No, he was too awesome to be scared, he was…concerned. Yes, concerned, that was it.
"Don't you want to dance?"
Gilbert opened his eyes to look at Amelia Jones-Williams, a loud yet not-as-annoying-as-Elizaveta girl with blonde hair and blue eyes only a few shades lighter than - Gilbert shook his head.
"Zhe awesomeness zhat is me is not in zhe mood. Vhat about you?"
"Arthur's getting us some punch." She turned to look at the dancers and giggled, "Your brother and Feliciana are such a cute couple!" Gilbert smiled at the sight of his brother dancing with the pretty Italian, an almost-but-not-quite unmanly blush on his cheeks.
"Yeah, at least he got some awesomeness from me."
Amelia peered at him out of the corner of her eye and said casually, "Ya know, my sister's here."
If Gilbert had been drinking, he would have done a spit take. "VHAT?! I thought she didn't like zhese kind of zhings!"
Amelia shrugged and flicked a piece of hair over her shoulder, "Yeah, I don't know what got into her. She's not even dancing though, she's over by the door reading. I mean, c'mon, who brings a book to a dance?" She looked up and saw a figure weaving his way through the crowd. "Well, that's Arthur. See ya Gil."
Gilbert didn't even notice her leave, he was looking at the door, trying to see…there. There she was. Dressed in a stunning red dress with a white sash, Madeline's soft, wavy blonde hair and her book hid her face. But Gilbert knew what her face looked like only too well. Especially those beautiful indigo eyes.
The song ended (What song? Gilbert wasn't paying attention to anything around him.), and Elizaveta grabbed a microphone that conveniently appeared out of nowhere. "All right people, I'm gonna interrupt for a moment and sing a little song for all of you. This song's dedicated to a friend of mine. I hope you all enjoy!" She boldly walked out to the middle of the floor with Carman and François. She nodded to the DJ and began singing.
Kiss the girl~
(Kiss the girl)
There you see here
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her~
Gilbert blinked in shock; that sounded like she was describing…Wait, she'd said this song was for a friend right? They weren't friends…right?!
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna KISS the girl~!
Carmen and François laughed and pointed at Gilbert, then at Madeline who was still lost in her book. A deep red blush covered his face and he glared at them, especially Elizaveta. What was she DOING?! This was totally unawesome! Elizaveta ignored the look and slowly began walking towards Gilbert.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, ya know you do~ (Again she pointed at Madeline. She really had to stop that, other people were starting to look.)
It's possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
Now THAT, he knew, was a lie. Madeline saw him as a friend, nothing more, nothing less.
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and KISS the girl!
(Kiss the girl)
Everyone in the gym was starting to catch on that this "friend" was Gilbert. Wolf whistles and calls of "Who is it?" and "Do it!" barraged his ears. Gilbert squeezed his eyes shut. Nein, nein, nein! I don't want to ruin our friendship! She doesn't like me that way! He didn't notice Elizaveta had gotten closer until she started singing again, scaring the Gilbirds out of him.
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl.
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
Gilbert and Elizaveta were face to face now. Elizaveta pointed to the still oblivious Madeline and sang,
You're gonna miss the girl…
Go on and KISS the girl (Did she just WINK at him?!)
(Kiss the girl)
Gilbert saw Carmen slowly walk towards Madeline and frowned. Madeline was so shy, if she knew what was going on…she'd leave for sure. And possibly never speak to Gilbert again. That couldn't happen. He pushed past Elizaveta and tried to ignore her singing as he pushed through the crowd.
Now's your moment,
Floating in a blue lagoon (The lights suddenly turned a deep shade of blue. How many people were in on this?!)
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better.
"Yeah Gil, go get some!" Amelia yelled, bouncing up and down like a toddler. Arthur facepalmed but a smile hovered on the corners of his mouth. A particularly big clump of squealing, fangirls blocked Gilbert's path but François, who'd been following him, motioned for them to move out of the way, which they quickly obliged.
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word until you KISS THE GIRL~
(Kiss the girl)
Carmen gently tugged the book out of Madeline's hand and she looked up. Gilbert could see the confusion in her eyes as she took in the excited crowd. She saw Gilbert and raised an eyebrow, a "What the heck is going on" expression on her face.
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna KISS the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl.
Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl~
Elizaveta draped an arm around Gilbert's shoulder and pointed to Madeline again. Madeline looked around in confusion, and then whispered something to Carmen, who laughed. That was just like Madeline, Gilbert thought, she was so modest. She didn't know they were singing about –
"It's YOU sis!" Amelia whooped. Never mind.
Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna KISS THE GIRL~
Go on and kiss the girl.
Elizaveta shoved Gilbert towards Madeline, who was only ten feet away now, and people cleared a path for him, yelling and laughing. Madeline's face was now crimson to the roots of her hair and she looked like a deer in the headlights. Gilbert wanted to hold her, protect her from the stares, and tell her…what? Carmen, François and Elizaveta circled closer. Gilbert ran forward and took Madeline's hand.
Lalalala, lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl~
"Gilbert?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Lalalala, lalalala
Go on and-
"Birdie, it's not vhat it-"
Elizaveta stuck her head between them and whispered, "Kiss already!" Madeline flinched and tears filled her eyes. She tore her hand out of Gilbert grasp and ran, slamming the doors open and fleeing for the parking lot.
"Birdie!" Gilbert yelled, running after her. He also noticed, to his immense ire, that Elizaveta was STILL singing.
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boys too shy
Ain't gonna KISS the girl
Cool night air whipped around his messy hair and plucked at Madeline's dress, slowing her down. Gilbert caught hold of her shoulder and spun her around. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and they looked like moonbeams in the soft light.
"W-why would you do that Gil?" She sobbed, clutching at front of his dress shirt. "Is that your idea of a joke? Am I funny to you?!"
"Vhat?! Birdie, I didn't have a clue zhey vere going to do somezhing unawesome like that! I vould never do zhat to you. I-I, I LOVE you too much to ever hurt you like zhat!" Giblert's eyes widened and he clamped his mouth shut. Did he really just say that? To her? Madeline looked up in surprise.
"Really? Do you really feel that way about me?"
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss that girl.
Gilbert took a deep breath, it was now or never. "Yes Birdie, I really do. I…I know you don't feel zhe same way, but-" He was cut off by a pair of soft lips on his own. It took a couple of seconds to process that Madeline, Madeline, his precious, beautiful Madeline…was kissing him. His eyes fluttered closed and he wrapped his arms around her waist and she tangled her fingers in his white hair.
Lalalala, lalalala
(Go on and kiss the girl)
Go on and KISS THAT GIRL~!
Lalalala, lalalala
(Go on and kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl~
Kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Go on and KISS the girl!
The cheers and shouts of the crowd startled them both and they separated. Madeline looked down in embarrassment and tried to take a step back but Gilbert tightened his hold on her waist and buried his face into her soft curls. She glanced up at him and smiled her soft, amazing smile. Gilbert chest felt like it would explode with happiness.
Madeline glanced over his shoulder and blushed again before hiding her face in his chest. Curiously, Gilbert turned around…and found half of the student body outside. Watching them. Elizaveta, François, and that Japanese kid, Koki or something like that, had their phones out and were gleefully taking pictures of them.
"Tch, can't two awesome people have some privacy?" Gilbert mumbled under his breath. Elizaveta gave him the thumbs up and mouthed "You owe me big time." Gilbert rolled his eyes and grabbed Madeline's hand. "C'mon Birdie," he said as he pulled her back towards the gym, "Let's show these unawesome wannabe's how to dance."
