A/N: I don't have much to say here except for enjoy the chapter~! More notes at the bottom. :)

For the rest of the day, Gilbert moped around his room. By the time Ludwig got home, the elder brother had been sulking alone for three hours.

"Bruder? Are you up there?" Ludwig called.

"Ja, Luddy... but I want to be alone."

Ludwig was surprised, he had never heard his brother say that before. At least not in that tone of voice. Ludwig was not a dumb guy. He knew something serious was wrong with his brother, but never having seen him in that state, he didn't know what it could be.

"Gil, are you sure you're okay...?" Ludwig said, leaning against the closed bedroom door.

"I'm fine,"

"I don't believe you... You don't sound fine."

Gilbert sighed. "Come in,"

Ludwig entered the dim, messy room, and witnessed his brother moaning into his pillow out of sadness and depression.

"I fucked up, Lud,"

"How badly...?"

"It was awful..."

"Go on,"

"You remember Madeline?"

"I think so..."

"Ludwig, words cannot describe how beautiful she is. And now that I'm thinking about it, how much I took her for granted,"

"What did you do?"

"I dated her, and we both agreed to keep it a secret. Then earlier today we both stayed home so we could hang out, but I guess Arthur and Amelia had the same idea and they ran into us. After they left, Madeline told me she wanted to start telling people. I didn't want that. I wish I had worded my sentences carefully because I upset her so much. She hates me. She thinks I don't love her. And to be honest, when we first started dating, I didn't think I did, I just thought she was extremely cute. But the worst part, she told me she loved me. And I didn't say it back,"

Ludwig had nothing to say. "Bruder, I'm not that great with girls, but I think you should find her. If she loves you, she's probably waiting for you to come find her,"

"You're right. I'll call Amelia. She'll probably know,"

"Alright," Ludwig left to give his brother privacy.

Gilbert picked up his cell phone and dialed Amelia's number. He hoped she would answer. If Madeline already told her about what happened, she probably would not want to talk to him. Gilbert was just about to change his mind and hang up when Amelia answered.

"Hello? Gilbert?"

"Hi Amelia. Listen, I need to talk to you, but you need to promise me something,"

"...Okay..."

"I need you to promise me that you won't get mad at me,"

"Sure, alright..."

"Okay. Remember when you saw Madeline and I earlier today? Well we've been secretly dating. And I upset her after you and Arthur left because she said she wanted to tell you guys, but I didn't think that was a good idea, and then basically she stormed off after telling me she loved me. I was speechless and that's when I realized that I love her too! But she thinks I don't, and Amelia, I want to find her and I don't know where she is. I was hoping you'd know,"

Amelia was silent for a moment. Gilbert wondered if she had hung up on him. Then she began speaking.

"Well you certainly did screw up. I don't know where she is but if I were you I'd check the library. She's almost always there when she's sad. Or when she's happy. Really she's there all the time so your best bet is to check there first. Let me know if you find her. Good luck,"

"Thanks, 'Melia. I will. Bye!"

Gilbert hung up his phone and grabbed his sweatshirt. It was already November, so the weather was getting chilly. He ran downstairs and to the front door, not stopping once.

The library wasn't far from the Beilschmidt home, and it would normally take ten minutes to walk there, but since Gilbert wasn't walking, it took him half of that. The determined albino raced down the sidewalk, repeatedly playing out what he would say in his head.

When he reached the entrance to the big building, he wasted no time. Gilbert immediately climbed the stairs to the room where the big, thick fiction novels were. He knew Madeline loved those.

And true to Amelia's words, there was Madeline sitting all alone, nose buried in a thick book. Gilbert smiled to himself. He then realized that she hadn't seen him yet, so he took advantage and his behind a towering bookshelf.

'Madeline must be really into that book, because I'm sure I'm being nowhere near quiet...' he thought to himself.

Gilbert slowly walked up to Madeline, her back facing him. He figured he should try not to scare her, so tapping on her shoulder was his best option.

Before he could, a voice spoke up.

"Hi, Gilbert,"

It was Madeline's.

"H-hi, Maddie," Gilbert nervously responded.

"What are you doing here?" she said, turning to face him. Gilbert could tell by her red cheeks and sparkly eyes that she had been crying.

"I'm here to apologize. Don't say anything, just let me do this,"

Madeline nodded. Gilbert took a big breath.

"I'm sorry, Maddie. I am so sorry. I wish I could've seen what you saw in us, because I can only imagine it was wonderful. I don't blame you if you never want to see me again. I really don't, because right now, I suck. I mean, it took me this long to realize that... that I love you, too,"

Madeline was silent. Gilbert noticed a single tear roll down her face.

"Oh no I fucked up again, didn't I? Which part was it? The 'I love you' part? I knew I shouldn't have said that until after I knew if you'd be with me again... Fucking hell..."

"Gilbert," Madeline stopped him. His attention turned to her.

"Yes?"

"There was no part you messed up. I loved all of it. I'm crying because of how happy I am. You see, what just happened, just now, has never ever happened before. I'm overwhelmed with joy, and love. Yes, Gilbert, I want to be with you again," she said.

"Really?"

"Yes really,"

All Gilbert could do was smile like a fool as he enclosed Madeline in a bear hug.

"I really do love you, Madeline,"

"I love you too, Gilbert."

A/N: Yay another happy couple! Okay so I devised a plan for the rest of this story! Feliciana and Ludwig were the September couple, Arthur and Amelia were the October couple, and Gilbert and Madeline are the November couple. Each chapter where another pairing gets together will be the next month, so who should be the December couple? :D

I hope that makes sense by the way!

And one more thing, please go to my profile and vote on my poll! I'm thinking about creating an account on something, and I want to know what app/website you guys think I should do it on! So far, Instagram is winning.
