Chapter 5: First step




XxX




"The first step into recovery is to have a friend right besides you."

The two gazed at each other, Madeline thoroughly analyzing the stranger that's right across from her. "W-Who are you. . . ?" She quietly asked the question once more to the foreign looking man. The person in question, whose name she didn't even know, gave a toothy grin at her, like as if they've been friends since childhood.




"I'm the awesome Gilbert!" The albino announced loudly, smirking triumphantly while his pair of red orbs peered at the pair of her own violet right in front of him. The Canadian was curious of the person and reached out to see if he was even /real/. Gilbert, according to him, moved back and put his pale hands upwards as if surrendering to the police.




"Oi, Frau*, do you think the awesome me looks like a ghost or something to you?" The albino harshly said, making Madeline wince inwardly. It made the knot of guilt and apology twinge even more, giving her a pang that shot throughout her body. "Je suis désolé**. . ." Madeline whispered under her breath.




Since the apology was inaudible, Gilbert kept on rambling at how awesome he was. All of a sudden, the hospital's window seemed way more interesting, so the Canadian looked outside. "Ja, the awesome me is so awesome that I have a small chick with me!" He gave a half smirk and rummaged through his black book-bag and out came a yellow puff that chirped happily.




Madeline looked at the chick and a small smile tugged at Madeline's lips, safely cupping her hands to hold the puff of a bird. "It's cute. . ." She said, just as quietly, but happiness emerged for the first time since her sister's death.




Which was a breakthrough for her really.




"Ja! His name is Gilbird! Awesome name isn't it? Kesesesesese~" Gilbert boasted to his delight. Madeline, usually quite observant and catches almost every detail of traits, didn't seem to get it and let Gilbird nuzzle in her hands. Quite soon, the miniature chick fell asleep in the warmth of her hands and Madeline began to grow a bit nervous.




Gilbert somehow managed to notice and gave her a smile, but not his usual one, but a legit genuine smile. When that happens, it's practically like the world will explode or something. "U-Um. . . What do you want me to do with. . . Gilbird?" The Canadian asked, her hands starting to bother her.




Gilbert, not responding verbally, scooped up Gilbird from her hands and placed him on the night-table. The quick contact made a faint blush scatter on both of their cheeks, making Madeline look down at the white hospital sheets sheepishly.




"Oi, wanna see mein awesome blog?" Gilbert broke the awkward silence, preparing his new sleek black laptop which had the Prussian emblem and a sticker of a chibi Gilbird. Madeline, not really having a choice, nodded, and scooted over to give the albino some space on the bed.




When he opened it, the desktop's background was black and white with gold thread-like ribbons wandering around the screen. He went to the Google Chrome icon and then went to the favourites section and selected the Tumblr link. According to the profile, his username was, "Ze_awesome_one" and cockiness was practically written all over his profile.




"It's awesome isn't it?" Gilbert gave a prideful grin, obviously proud of his blog that he's done for quite a while now. Madeline practically gaped at the screen, the website foreign to her. "It looks. . . Nice?" Madeline then embraced for any nasty looks or judging comments like how she was used to in her childhood.




Gilbert shrugged, all of his pride drained out. Usually, he would go on about how the other person was just not "too awesome" to see the awesomeness. With Madeline though, he couldn't resist but mentally say to himself, 'This Frau is awesome, really. . .' Of course, he would never admit it aloud.




"Alright, I guess I'll have to show you from square 1." He gave a small smirk and went to the home page.




'Yea, she'll be worth it.'
