The following day, Gil went over early to Matthew's house to be able to walk with him to the bus stop.
Gil knocked almost a little too excitedly on Matt's door. Alfred opened the door.
"Oh, mornin' Gil, dude. You here for Mattie?" Al asked, rubbing an eye, still in his captain america pj's
"Ja. Is he ready?"
Alfred just shrugged, turned to face towards the stairs, and yelled, "Mattie! Your boyfriend's at the door!"
"SHUT UP ALFRED F. JONES! HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" was what was shouted in response, surprisingly quite loud, by Matthew upstairs. "I'll be down in a sec!"
Alfred turned back to Gil. "Wanna step in for a bit?"
"Sure. Danke." Gil then stepped through the doorway and into Matt and Al's house. "So your parents gone?"
"Yeah they leave really early everyday. We practically never see them.. But whatever."
Gil simply nodded in response, still thinking to himself, Man, Mattie can be just as loud, if not louder, than Alfred when he wants too... Damn boy.
Once he entered, Al said he could set his stuff down at the table if he wanted. Gil took this opportunity to smoothly take out Matt's little notebook, the one who had given him such joy the night before, and low key, set it onto the chair next to him. That way Mattie could find it.
Not a second later, Gil heard footsteps on the stairs and instantly stood up to face Matthew as he came down the stairs.
Matthew yawned a bit, "Mornin' Gil. You're here earlier than usual, eh.."
"Ja…I guess I am. Sorry…"
"N-no that's.. that's not what I meant.. I was just a little surprised that's all. It's no big deal, eh."
"So, you ready?"
"Yeah," Matt waved goodbye to Al and headed to the door. Gil followed close behind.
They walked fairly casually, Gil making a few random jokes, and Mattie laughing and blushing every so often.
"Hey Mattie, guess what?" Gil asked in a very serious tone.
"Umm.. w-what?"
"It's Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday! Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend!, weekend! Friday! Friday! Gettin' down on Friday! Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend!
Partyin', partyin'! Yeah! Partyin', partyin'! Yeah! Fun, fun, fun, fun! Lookin' forward to the weekend!"
Matthew burst out laughing at Gilbert's almost perfect impression of Rebecca Black. Gil joined in too and the two just kept walking and laughing for quite a while.
Eventually, they made it to the bus stop and got to school. Once the bell rang for first period, they said see ya later and went their separate ways.

12:30 finally showed it's face, and it was once again lunchtime.
Matthew went to sit at his usual spot by the window and waited a while. But Gil didn't show up yet.
I bet Gil had to do something during the lunch period, I guess I'll just see him during PE then. Matt thought to himself as he took out his lunch and also some of his chemistry notes. I have a feeling Mrs. Martin is going to give a pop quiz today… He then began to eat his lunch thoughtfully as he reviewed his notes on acid-base titrations and the pH scale.
Absorbed in his reviewing, Mattie didn't notice a certain white haired individual, of whom he admired, entered the lunch hall.
Gil noticed that his Mattie didn't see him enter, and seized a chance to play a little prank…
Walking up quietly behind Matt, he placed his head right next to Matt's head, without touching it, smirked a little and whispered. "Vhatcha doin' Mattie?"
"Gahhhh!" Matt squeaked out loud and dropped his notebook in surprise. Instantly, he turned to where the voice came from, only to find a smirking and snickering Gilbert right next to him, eye to eye. "Gilbert!"
"Zhe one and only." Gil replied, still grinning, and looking into Mattie's eyes, his mirth still showing in his own.
Matt, for a moment, became entranced by them. Wow.. they're so.. pretty…
"Vhat's pretty?" Gil asked as he sat down next to Matt on the bench.
Matthew was caught off guard. "W-what do you mean?"
"You just muttered 'so pretty' under your breath...Vhat's pretty?" Gil tilted his head a bit to the side.
God that was just adorable. Matt thought to himself once again, remarking on Gil's head tilt. "Oh.. T-that.. well I was.. err.." Shoot! I don't know what to say.. I mean, here's my chance to give him a compliment.. and here I am stuttering and being too nervous to even speak my mind… Oh well, here it goes, I can do this!
"I..was talking about.. your eyes.." Matt confessed.
"Oh? Und, vhat else vere you thinking just now about mein eyes?"
"W-well.. I-I love your eyes. They're so big and handsome"
"Oh.. V-vell zhank you Mattie... Most people zhink they are, well, weird.." He paused a moment. "Ya know, 'cause they're red like blood and all."
"Not blood.. the color of rubies or poppies.. some of the most beautiful and amazing things in the world."
Both Mattie and Gil went quiet, just staring at the other. Gil pulled his head slowly back. Matt turned a hue of dark pink as he realized that Al was staring at them.
Just then, the bell rang and therefore lunch period was over. Gil and Mattie stood up together and headed for the door. Just then, as they got to the door, Alfred jerked Matt aside.
"Not your boyfriend, huh bro?" Alfred raised an eyebrow.
Matt pulled away, "Umm, I believe that it's not your buisness, eh?" He headed quickly towards the door to catch up with Gil, leaving Al caught slightly off guard by his brother's snarky tone.
Arthur walked up to Alfred, taking Al's hand is his own. "So, are we on for that bet or not?"
"Oh, we are so on! My money is on Matt"
"And mine is on Gilbert. Shall we go to class now?"
"Yeah. I really don't want to be yelled at by Mrs. Di Antonio in Spanish again.. She's scary."
"And that is why I take French class, despite having Francis in the class... I believe there should be rules against having frogs take their own language as an elective…" Arthur muttered the last part more to himself, but it still earned a snicker from Al as they walked towards the Language hallway.
Back with Gil and Mattie in PE
"Hey, Mattie.. Vhat did Al ask you?" Gil asked, poking Mattie in the cheek as they were walking out of the locker room after they had gotten dressed out for the class.
Gil was worried that Matt might be upset about something, for he seemed awfully quiet and immersed in his own thoughts.
"Hmm? Oh it was just Al being Al." Matt replied simplistically."Its nothing to worry about, eh."
"You know vhat Mattie, I've noticed somezhing about you more recently."
"W-what's that?"
Gil turned around and began to walk backwards, "Vell, to put it simply... You are ever so slowly.. becoming more awesome. And I think I know exactly vhy.. It iz because you and I make a great team…" Ha paused a split second and continued.
"Und, because you have now been exposed to my awesomeness in its natural and unrestrained form" Gil pauses again then pokes Mattie in the center of his chest, "You, have absorbed some of my radiating awesomeness and used it for your own purposes."
Matt shook his head, laughing at Gil. "Hey Gil, you may want to look out."
"Vhy?"
Just then Gil backed up right into a pole for one of the basketball hoops.
Matt burst out laughing as Gil stumbled forward a bit. He was about to fall but Matt caught Gil's shoulders and pushed him back up.
"You okay?"
"Ja, I'm good. Little late zhere on ze warning.."
"It must be some sort of side effect of me absorbing the awesomeness radiating out of your body."
"Nah, zhat must be zhe side effect of having Alfred for a brozher."
Matt giggled a bit, "So then are there any supposed side effect to awesomeness?.. At least any that i should worry about that could have lasting effects?"
"Vell, the normal one I suppose vould include being more awesome.. umm an awesome laugh, awesome eyes.. awesomely hot body... und having me as a really good friend zhat vill always be by your side."
"And which of those do you think have already happened eh?"
Gil averted his eyes before answering, "All of zhem.."
"A-all of them?" Matt blushed a bit. Is this Gil's version of... flirting... no I must be imagining things..
"Ja, all of zhem..."
The two became silent for a while, neither knowing exactly how to start up a conversation again.
Thankfully, the coach called them in so they could change for their next class before their little awkward silence could continue.
"Hey Gil, you wanna race back?"
Mattie didn't even got a response, Gil just took off running for the locker room.
"EHH?! GIL! NO FAIR!" Mattie yelled after him, racing to catch up.
Gil reached the lockers first, with Mattie close behind him. They both slumped onto one of the benches, in an attempt to catch their breath.
Mattie rested his head on Gil's slightly shorter shoulder and spoke in between breaths, "Well, I guess you won.. ya cheater."
Gil just smirked.
