You mean a lot for me / Chapter Twelve

I’m almost sleeping when I felt  a hand playing with my fingers… Open my eyes when I´m still with the head over my arms on a hospital bed. Was it a dream?… Gilbert was lying on the bed smiling…

Gil: Hey liebe… what happened? Why am I here?

You: Don’t you remember the Halloween night? You suffered an accident…  

Gil: (he rubbed his face with his hands) Ja! I remember… something…  I was bleeding…

You: Exactly, remember you mentioned that the moment you hid in the bushes to scare me, you fell down and got hurt… it was worst what you thought… medics said you probably fell over that piece of metal that cut into you so thin that you didn't even felt it… until you jumped on me and I pushed that deeper into your rib with my elbow, but since they treated you quickly, isn't so serious...

Gil: (he rubbed his rib while he talk again) Now it came to my mind…. You were really scared about me… you said everything would be fine … Mein God! you were really worried about the awesome me, kesesese!

You: (I rolled eyes) I was, but you acted like fool too, you overreact! You said you were dying! That you will bleed out to the death, and that the last thing you did was made something stupid and ruthless to call the attention the girl you like! Now I think was kind of funny to hear that!

Gil: Hey be considered! I was freak out! I was dying, even I almost saw the doors of hell opening to me…

You: Don't you think you could go to the heaven?

Gil: No after all the things I did. Actually all what happened make me think that maybe should I stop being such a bully in the school , not only with you , I mean with everyone…

You: Maybe…  ( I look down when I feel he took a lock  my hair)

Gil: But you were here all this time… next to me… even when you are the person who I hurt  more than anyone,  aren’t you?

You: Y- yes…

Gil: Why? This kind of things you only can do it for someone you really care, for someone that you love… (he smirked and looked at me with that proud eyes making me blush)

You: I-

Francis: Look who awaked! Oh my god Gilbert you look awful! Toni promise me that if I have an accident you'll care of make me look great anyway!

Toni: Deal! How are you Gil?  ______________ told us you are safe now, that… hurts? (Pointed Gilbert’s wound)

Gil: This? No, of course no! (he shook his head with a haughty attitude)

Francis: Ohh really? (he pressed Gil’s rib with a finger quickly)

Gil: AUUUH! Ok it hurts! Thanks for checking!

Francis: (Giggled) that´s what happening to you for f*cking a play ground, now you have a metal stuck in your arse! Honononon

GiL: HEY it wasn't in my butt!  And we weren't doing that! You perv!

Toni: ___________ you can leave now, must be tired, we will care of him for today. Look I bring potato omelet for him!

Gil: I might prefer potato with wurst but… ok thaaank you! (he said sarcastically)

Toni: (He squinted over him) how is that you love potato and never made an omelet with it! Well ________ we call you if something happens (he smiled as always did,  giving the certainty that nothing could go wrong)

You: Alright, but what about in the night, who will be with him at that time?

Francis: Ludwig and Roderich are going to come at 7:00 pm

Gilbert: Roderich? Really? I always thought that he will would love to see me dead…

Toni: Maybeee… he is coming to check that already happened… Well__________ you want me to go with you to the entrance?

You: No, is ok. I guess I´ll see you tomorrow in class. Bye guys.

While I´m at home, in my regular routine I can't stop thinking about Gilbert… but Francis and Toni will take good care of him, just three of us and his brother of course…he really made people hate-fear him, that no one else would cares...even when Feliks call me to ask about his health, he sounded kind of disappointed when I told him that Gil will be fine… and probably he is not the first who thinks in the same way.

But I realized how much he means to me… after all, I was really worried and petrified about the idea of losing him. I would liked to tell him what I feel for him before Francis and Toni interrupted us… Maybe should I go to tell him…

When I decide to go is almost night… but he will be there anyway, so when I arrive to the hospital and his room, I knock the door but I have no answer, so I guess Ludwig is not there yet, I allow myself to get in and find Gilbert is sleeping… I walk near to the bed and pet his hair, I got down to be face to face with him and slowly put my lips on his, just to give him a short kiss that we never had… but I feel he is kissing me back, even rolling an arm around my neck to get the kiss deeper and intense while the other is tangling in my hair… We separated, and see he has a shy smile when it seems to come again he looks at the door and freezes for a minute…

Gil: Eliza?! Can't you knock first, can you?!
