Pulling Through (PruCan) [Under Editing]

CH 1: Sleepy meadows (edited)

"Hey Gil promise you won't do anything stupid for me."

"Of course! I promise."

A gush of wind blew through the quiet city, leaves rustled against their frail branches, the grass swayed calmly in the breeze, and far off in a nature-filled meadow lied an albino name Gilbert. His eyes were closed as he listened to the many sounds around him. He listened to the melody of chirps from birds, the sound of rustling branches and leaves, and the soft raspy breath of his lover beside him.

He smiled and turned on his side to examine his sleeping lover, he adored his slim figure and golden locks of hair, and his eyes were like glittering purple gems. And seeing him asleep made Gilbert love him a lot more, but the relaxing moment was disrupted when his wristwatch beeped signaling him that time had run out, he frowned in annoyance and guiltily shook his lover's frail shoulder. "Matthew it's time to wake up." He cooed quietly with a gentle smile. "Come on birdie."

Matthew slowly stirred awake and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Gil...I'm sorry I fell asleep." He apologized groggily and sat up. "Don't apologize, from the dark circles under your eyes I could tell that you really needed it." He stood up from the comfortable grass and stretched until he heard his stiff joints pop. "Besides...I think you looked adorable." He chuckled.

Matthew blushed in embarrassment and looked down. "I-I didn't." He protested. "Oh come on, would the awesome me ever lie?" Gilbert asked with a toothy grin. "Now come on, times almost up." He lifted Matthew into his arms bridal style. "G-Gil!" Matthew fearfully clung onto him. "You're too light Mattie, you have to eat more," Gilbert explained in a worried tone.

Matthew guiltily hid his face in the crook of his neck. "...I do, it just comes back up.," he mumbled. "Well the awesome me will make sure you eat properly," Gilbert reassured and walked to his car. "Why are you with me? I mean you know what could happen.." the quiet Canadian frowned causing Gilbert to hold him tighter. "Birdie I'm with you because I fell in love with you and I promised that I would save you."

Matthew was hesitant but nodded. "Okay...but if you get hurt because of me I will never forgive myself." He stated and Gilbert frowned knowing that whatever Matthew said was always true, he swallowed the lump in his throat as the heavy dreadful feeling in his chest made it harder for him to breathe and concentrate. "So birdie what do you want to eat when we get home?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

Matthew hummed in thought. "How about pancakes?" he suggested with a wide smile which made Gilbert's heart flutter with joy and happiness, seeing his lover smile was the best thing ever. "Of course birdie! Anything for you." He placed a kiss on his forehead and spun around causing Matthew to giggle. "G-Gil I'm getting dizzy!" he exclaimed and held onto him tightly trying not to fall.

Gilbert chuckled and stopped spinning. "You have the most perfect smile birdie, almost as awesome as mine!" he set him down on the ground and held his pale delicate hand in his own. "You think you can walk?" he asked, Matthew smiled reassuringly. "I'm not that sick Gil." He joked with a small giggle. "I know, I just worry a lot," Gilbert stated. "Besides it's my job to worry about you." He ran his thumb across Matthew's knuckles and brought his hand to his lips causing him to blush brightly.

He brought his hand down. "You're my beautiful little angel. It was a miracle that I was able to fall in love with such a perfect person." By now Matthew was a blushing and stuttering mess. "W-well I was lucky to have such an awesome person notice me...I'm happy we fell in love.." he looked at Gilbert with tear-filled eyes making them glitter like shiny amethyst. A small smile was spread on his face as a single tear made its way down his flushed cheek.

Gilbert stopped in his tracks, his car only a few feet away, he swiped his thumb across his lover's cheek to wipe away the stray tear. "Birdie what's wrong?" he asked worriedly, seeing his lover in tears was always the worst thing ever. Matthew giggled quietly as he wiped away the remaining tears that had formed in his eyes. "It's nothing it's just...I mean...after so many years of being unnoticed, you were the miracle that changed my whole life." He sniffled happily.
