"So?" Mattie started zhat night as ve sat down eating poutine in mein apartment.

"So, vhat?"

"So, what do you thing aboot my family?"

"Vell, Francis isht nice, but Alfred und Arzhur vere so quiet."

Mein Birdie giggled at zhis. "Alfie isn't normally like that."

"Nein?" I zhought for un second. "Maybe he doesn't like zhe awesome me..."

"No, no. I don't think that. He's not used to me dating probably." Matthew took un large bite of his food.

"So, he's zhe one usually doing zhe dating zhing."

"Well...I've never actually seen him date...but there was this boy who quit the Axis gang a few years back...His name was Kiku and I think the two liked each other a lot more than they let on."

"Oh, Ja. I remember zhat guy. He got in un fight vith Liz over somezhing stupid und zhen he left suddenly."

Mattie nodded.

"What time is it?" He asked vith a yawn.

"About seven zhirty. Vhy?"

"It's been a long day. I'm beat." He pushed his plate forward und rested his head on zhe table. Mein face tvisted into un fond grin.

"Ich liebe dich, Gil. Did I pronounce it right?"

"Ja, birdie. I love jou as vell." He fell asleep vith un smile on his face.

I lifted him into mein arms und carried him to mein bed, tucking him in before curling up at his side.

"Gute naght, Birdie. I missed jou."
