I think this is the last part of the dinner with Gilbert lol. I have a really cute idea that will probably bring this fic to an end. Thanks for all of the support guys! After this it's probably one chapter to go and maybe an epilog!

We sat at dinner, most of the conversation being filled by Felicia and Gilbert. I found that Ludwig was a calm person, no, more like so uptight he seems calm. He deduced that I was the quiet type, and moreover was incredibly nervous to be there. After that Gilbert decided he would drive me home… in other words give us some alone time to break the law! Yeah baby.

"So Gil, why did you become a teacher?"

He thought about it for a minute, "Well actually my whole life I wanted to build rockets because my brother liked stuff like that and I really wanted him to say 'hey! My big brother is a space man!' or something."

"So you didn't get into NASA? You're a failure not only to yourself but your brother too? That's rough-"

"WHAT THE HELL! NO! I was helping Ludwig with his math one day when I realized that maybe educating the youth was probably more important than dumping government grants into black holes. Besides, he said, 'Brother, you'd make a good teacher! You're way smarter and way more awesome than the ones we have in school now.'"

"He didn't say that."

"Well he said something like it!"

I sat back and laughed a little at his stupidity, even so he was a pretty decent teacher, I'll give him that. Maybe it's because he wants to be at school, "That's pretty cool I guess."

"Yeah but I still haven't taught anyone anything."

THAT'S NOT TRUE! YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE! YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF! YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO HOLD HANDS AND LIVE ON THE EDGE! IT'S YOU WHO MADE INTO THIS CORNY CANADIAN MOTHER FUQQER!

But I wasn't going to say that. It sounds stupid enough in my head, besides I never once mentioned anything about calculus… I feel like I've let him down even though he has no idea what I'm thinking… I hope…

And then the time for school was upon me like the bad news I was hoping to avoid. As it turns out Mr. Bonnefoy and Alice were caught in public and immediately were separated as well as interrogated. I sighed to myself when I heard the news and I knew Gilbert was probably wondering what to do as well. I sat with Alice and Alfred at lunch, Kiku also joining us.

"But with him? The French teacher of all guys!? Why did you do this to me? You knew how I felt about you and you went for that guy!? What were you thinking!?"

"Alfred," she said very plainly, "I did it because this look of jealousy suits you."

Kiku and I knew what was going on here, we knew she was using that quotable line from Francis on Alfred who's heart stopped at the words. Kiku and I both put one hand up to our mouths and the other up in the air.

"OHHHHHHHHHH!"

Alfred got up and walked the hell out of there. Then we got sensitive.

"Alice, are you alright," I asked knowing what she was going through.

"Yes, it was doomed from the start still I figured it was worth a try."

Kiku just cried in a corner.

"And what will you do Matthew? Now that I've been caught it'll cause trouble for you and you know who as well."

"Well, I guess there's only one thing I can do at this point."

"Yeah?"

"I'll just have to stop seeing him…"

Kiku just screamed into his tissue as he cried.

And after school I went to study math with Gilbert. He was slightly more pale than usual, which was hard to imagine but he somehow managed.

"Hey Mr. Beilschmidt."

"Hey Birdie."

I cringed at the nickname, "You know what we'll have to do right?"

"… Run away?"

"Tempting, but for now we'll have to go our separate ways. You'll go back to just being a math teacher and I'll go back to being invisible."

"You don't have to disappear, you can just stop seeing me."

"But… if I don't go back to what I was then I'll probably just come back to you and make trouble."

He didn't say anything because he knew I wasn't going to listen. He didn't want me to go back into the background but it really was where I was meant to be. No one understands I was meant to be alone, no one understands I like life that way. I'll go back to the old Matthew, I did it for sixteen years I could do it again… right?

UPDATE! Okay guys there you go! Next chapter will be the last and then you'll get an epilog. Thank you so much for the following and the reviews! I had a lot of fun writing this for you!
