The Lost Prince

Sneaking Up to the Roof

Matthew lay fast asleep in bed. His face was lit by pure white moon light. His hair looked like strands of gold his eyes didn't even waver. He had a big smile on his face as if he were having a good dream. Gilbert, who was just outside the door, snuck inside trying not to wake Mattie up.

"This will be so awesome." He whispered to himself.

He tiptoes around the corner of the bed and prepared to scare Mattie awake. However he stopped dead when he saw the angel like boy sleeping so soundly. He instead crouched down to wake Matthew gently. He reached his hand out to shake his shoulder but stopped when he suddenly whispered.

"Gil~"

Gil bit his lip lightly and twinged his hand back.

"Why do you have to be so damn cute." He whispered.

Suddenly Matthew's face shifted and his eyes slowly opened. The fluttered tiredly and Gil's heart stopped when he saw Matthews sky flower like eyes. Matthews eyes brightened when they met the sharp crimson eyes. He let out a small "eep." and sat up straight.

"Gil!" He choked.

"Shhhh." Gil hushed.

"What are you doing?" Matthew whispered.

"Let's go to the roof." Gilbert pointed upwards.

"Right now?"

"Yes!"

Matthew looked outside and sighed.

"Okay."

**************************

Antonio snuck threw the hall tailing after Lovino who had snuck out of bed. Antonio paused when he something caught his eye. Little feliciano raced by trying to catch up with Lovi. Antonio peered around with confused eyes. But something grabbed him from behind and covered his mouth. He begun to struggle until he recognized the voice.

"Shh, they'll here you." Ludwig whispered.

Ludwig let him go and Antonio spun around.

"What are you doing?" Antonio whispered.

"The same as you right?" Ludwig said looking around to the twins. "They almost saw you." He stepped infringing of Antonio. "Follow me."

Ludwig ran across the hall to the next corner and Antonio followed behind.

"Looks like their following someone to." Ludwig pointed out.

"We're following someone following someone." Antonio giggled.

"Hush." Ludwig hissed. "Wait till they turn the corner."

The twins were looking around the corner. Lovino whacked feliciano and shushed him. Then they snuck around the corner. Ludwig lifted his pointer and middle finger signalling to move on. They snuck up and Ludwig was surprised when he caught a glimpse of snowy hair round the other corner.

"They're following Gilbert." Ludwig said.

"What? Why?"

"Well let's keep following."

They snuck up and Ludwig stopped Antonio. He pointed to the balcony where Gilbert was pulling up Matthew.

"The king and his advisor.... Interesting." Antonio observed.

"Don't assume, it's probably not what it looks." Ludwig sighed.

The twins stared up at the balcony and Lovino climbed up. Antonio's eyes widened and Ludwig pulled him out so they could stop them. Lovino saw them coming and he got frightened. He slipped but Antonio caught him and pulled him over the balcony falling down together.

"Lovino! What the heck were you thinking?!" Antonio yelled.

"Get off me! You jerk!" Lovino struggled.

"You could have been killed!"

"Why do you care?!"

"Lovino!" Antonio grabbed Lovi's face and looked at him with serious eyes. "Don't ever scare me like that again!"

Lovino blushed and pulled his face away. "Won't matter anyways, you'll always catch me right." He murmured.

Antonio head butted Lovino and Lovino fell back in surprise.

"Awe man!" He cried. "What the hell!"

"This is payback you brat!" Antonio's face was bright red and he was becoming teary.

"I-..... I'm sorry Toni...."

"Are you two done with your adventure?" Ludwig scolded to the princes.

"No Ludi! We wanna see what king Beilshmidt is up to!" Feli called out.

"He went to the rooftop with Matthew." Lovino pitched in.

"Isn't it suspicious!" Feliciano called.

"Not that suspicious." Another voice rung.

They all turned around to see Gilbert's snowy hair and his pale face leaning over the balcony upside down.

"Come on Ludi. Let the kids have some fun. We can help them up." Gilbert laughed.

"Are you nuts?" Ludwig barked.

"It's fine, plus you gotta see the view." Gilbert said holding out a hand.

Ludwig looked over to feliciano to see him looking up with big hopeful eyes.

"You better know what your doing." He grumbled.

Antonio let go of Lovino and shook a bit afraid that Lovi may fall again. Feliciano went first. Ludwig helped him up and held into him before Matthew and Gilbert Pulled him to safety. Lovino walked up as well and even though he hated the big German, he trusted him to hold him up before he to was pulled up. Ludwig then climbed up by himself and him and Gilbert pulled up Antonio. They all sat down on the roof and the four new comers gasped. The moon was full and huge. The stars danced around it like fireflies dancing around a reflected pond.

"When the moon hits your eye." Lovino started.

"Like a big pizza pie." Feliciano giggled.

And together: "that's Amare."

The other four men looked at them a bit confused until they realized what it meant. Except for Gil. Who skipped his other language lessons. He just said.

"What's Amare?"

Matthew whispered something in his ear and the king grew bright red.

"Oh.... I get it."

The 6 of them then layed down side by side. Forgetting their anger, frustration or fear. Instead they enjoyed the moonlit sky and each other's company.
