Gilbert hoped that he hadn't insulted the Bonnefoy's by leaving like he did, but he really had to go. He didn't want to break down in happy tears around Francis.
"Gilbert, ve need to talk." Ludwig was wait no for him when he entered the house.
Of course he was, that guy woke up at Six AM sharp.
"Ja?" Gilbert tilted his head slightly.
"Vhat's come over jou, Gil?" Ludwig crossed his arms over his chest.
Gilbert simply laughed.
"Bruder?"
"He's alive, Luddy. Mein Birdie is alive!"
"Jou mean zhat annoying little chick jou have in hour bedroom?" Ludwig scrunched up his face in confusion.
"Nein. Mattie. Mattie is alive." He wrapped his arms around his younger sibling, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Gilbert?"
"Ja?" Gil choked.
"Please calm down."
"Kesesesese. Sorry bruder. I'm going to take a shower." He unlatched himself from Luddy and skipped upstairs to the bathroom.
When he emerged from the shower, a towel tied around his waste, he noticed the little light on his phone blinking to tell him he had notifications. Gil picked it up and tapped through the messages left by Francis.
Is something wrong Gil?
Gil?
Gil, please, you're worrying me.
Matthieu's awake.
Gil's smile grew at the last message. His fingers moved to text Francis back.
I'll be right there.
