So, I'm really sorry I only posted a half of a chapter last time. I was planning on a full chapter, but I suddenly realized how long it had been since I last posted! The chapter wasn't done, so I just posted what I had. This is the rest of that chapter, pretty much.
...
Gilbert shut the car door. Of course, he had been elected to break the news to his brother. It was his brother, after all. That, and he was the only one of the four with any training in First Aid, just in case his overly controlling brother happened to go into cardiac arrest or whatever. Ludwig did have a tendency to overreact over the little things… Hopefully, he would still be allowed to keep his room… if not, he could crash at Francis' house for a while.
The albino entered the kitchen to find his younger brother seated at the table, waiting for him, his blue eyes fixed on the door. He stood for a minute in the doorway, weighing his words.
"So, Ludwig-" he began awkwardly.
"Have a seat." Gilbert was not surprised at his brother's tone. It wasn't an offer; it was an order.
"Actually, I think I'll -"
"Sit."
Gilbert sat.
"So, Ludwig, you've been wondering where Feliciano has been, haven't you?"
Ludwig hesitated, then nodded stiffly.
"Okay then. Allow the awes- allow me to tell you a story."
"Once upon a dark and stormy night, Toni and Lovi were in the rain without an umbrella. Soaking wet, they ended up in an Italian restaurant, where they just happened to see-" Gilbert paused, just for a second, but long enough that his brother looked up, worried, "they saw- oh god, Ludwig, please don't freak out, please- they saw Feli kissing another guy. And that was when Toni and Lovi just ran out of that restaurant to Francis's house to ask him and me what to do. And here I am."
...
When the news of Feliciano reached his ears, Ludwig froze. He stopped listening, stopped blinking, stopped breathing. All that was left was his sinking stomach and an intense, freezing fury. He had been intending to propose to Feliciano. They had been in love. No, they were in love. Feliciano was just forgetting that. He had been enchanted, spirited away by this unknown person. All it would take for him to come to his senses would be to remove the bad influence.
...
Gilbert watched his brother's reaction with a mixture of worry and fear. His face had suddenly paled and lost all expression. Gilbert knew his brother well enough to fear for his own safety and worry for his brother's state of mind.
A minute passed.
Another thirty seconds.
Finally, Ludwig glanced up, as though just remembering his brothers' presence.
"Perhaps, Gilbert, you should stay at a friend's house for a while, jawohl?"
Gilbert understood this to mean that he should leave now.
He grabbed his coat and exited out the way he came, the garage door rumbling behind him. He did not look back.
If he had, he may have noticed Ludwig pull out his favorite handgun and begin to load it.
...
So we're approaching the end of this story. Just by the by, I'm considering writing a sequel. I don't know. Just keep that in mind.
