I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone, I wonder if these heavy eyes can face the unknown
When I close my eyes, I realize you'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone forever together, oh
-Dokken, Dream Warriors (Featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3)
Matthew walked through a hall. This place was different from his previous nightmares. Was it a good dream again? After all he and Gilbert had just been intimate. Maybe it stopped the nightmares for good... He walked though a door and saw Gilbert talking to some people. He smiled and walked up calling his lovers name, but was ignored. "Gilbert?" he said softly confused. That's when he noticed her. A brunette with a flower in her hair, hanging off of Gilbert's arm and looking at him with love-struck eyes. They couldn't see Matthew standing right there, even as he tugged on the albinos sleeve. "Good you dumped that boring Canadian for me Gil~" the girl said kissing him softly. Matthew blinked fighting tears. "Yeah," the Prussian said, grinning sadistically. "Your ten times the lover he is. He was too screwed up in the head." he said with a laugh before kissing the girl again, this time more passionately.
Matthew was screaming as he woke up. Alfred ran in the room half asleep, a worried look plastered on his face. Matthew was sobbing, his whole body shook as he cried. Alfred walked over to his brother and held him gently stroking his hair and trying to calm him. "Shhhhhh. It's OK now Mattie. I'm here." he murmured to his weeping brother. "It was a different one. But I was still invisible." He sobbed into his brothers chest, feeling completely miserable. "Gil, he couldn't see me. A-And he was with some girl. They were talking about him leaving me!" Alfred pulled his brother tighter, concerned. "It's ok Mattie, he didn't do anything like that. And if he does I'll hurt 'im for 'ya ok?" he asked, grinning widely in an effort to cheer his brother up. Matthew looked up and nodded, teary eyed. "Now let's go back to sleep!" Alfred said laying down. "Al? Why are you sleeping in my bed?" Matthew asked, tears gone for the moment. "Well, I'm the hero," the American explained, "And the hero can't let the damsel in distress be scared now can he?" he said, laughing as his brother hit him, yelling at him that he was not a damsel.
Matthew walked with his brother to school the next day, rubbing at the bags that had formed under his eyes. He waved goodbye to his brother and walked into his first hour class. He spotted Gilbert sitting on a desk talking and laughing with someone. When he saw who the someone was his smile instantaneously disappeared and he had to fight back frightened tears. He walked to his seat hoping the Prussian wouldn't notice him, to no avail. Gilbert spotted him and a huge grin broke over his face. He practically ran over to the Canadian, leaving the girl alone and confused. "Mattie!" he said, plopping in the seat in front of his boyfriend. "How are you?" he asked, leaning on his hand close enough to kiss the blonde. Matthew blushed and leaned back. "Not bad I guess." he said sullenly. Gilbert's grin disappeared and he touched the side of his boyfriends face. "Another nightmare?" he asked, his voice layered with concern.
Matthew nodded. "Yeah, but this one was different. I'd rather not talk about it; I don't want you to worry." he said, faking a smile. Gilbert nodded and kissed Matthew chastely on the lips.
The girl Gilbert had been talking to came over, annoyed. "Gilbert!" she said, smacking him on the head. "That was very rude, just walking off like that." she put her hand on her hips, ignoring Matthew completely. Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Elizabeta, I wanted to say good morning to my boyfriend." he said to her, irritated. The girl raised an eyebrow. "Ya not 'gonna introduce me Gil?" she said, folding her arms. Gilbert rolled his eyes again. "This is Matthew. Birdie this is my old friend, Elizabeta. She's from Hungary." he said, indicating both of them to each other as he spoke. Elizabeta smiled warmly at Matthew and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Matthew!" she chirped happily. "If you ever have problems with this idiot, let me know. I can straighten him out for ya!" All Matthew could do was nod.
It seemed as though she had all the same classes as the couple. She and Gilbert seemed very friendly with each other and argued like an old married couple. The thought unnerved Matthew quiet a bit. At the end of the day Gilbert kissed Matthew long and hard on the lips and ruffled his hair playfully. "I have to show Lizzie around town so I can't come over, but I'll text you ok?" he said, smiling warmly. Matthew nodded and kissed his boyfriend softly before leaving, brows furrowed. He couldn't stop thinking about the dream after he got home, so he decided to go for a walk to clear his mind.
He walked along the street and noticed a certain albino arguing with a certain brunette girl. He knew eaves dropping was wrong but he had to listen. "Gilbert! Why are you dating that kid? I thought you liked me!" Elizabeta yelled, obviously upset. "I did like you Lizz. I like Matthew now. After all you're the one who dumped me for my brother!" he yelled right back. "Gil..." she murmured, looking at him with sad eyes "I made a mistake. I want you, not Roderich." she hugged him, burying her head into his chest. Matthew bit his finger fighting tears again. "Lizzie..." Gilbert said, wrapping his arms around her "I've always loved you, you know that...But..." he said, nuzzling her hair. Matthew couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't listen to another word the albino had to say. He let out a strangeled cry and took off running.
The cry startled both Gilbert and Elizabeta. They jumped shocked and Gilbert turned around just in time to see Matthew running away. He realized what had just happened and began to panic. "Oh nein. Oh Gott nein..." he said, eyes widening at the sight of his retreating lover. Elizabeta grabbed onto his arm "No Gil!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. "Don't please! You love me and I love you! He doesn't matter!" she was sobbing now, but Gilbert didn't care. He wrenched his arm free and took off after Matthew, leaving Elizabeta screaming his name.
