Mathew's POV

I feel something warm beneath me, my eyes flutter open. Only to see a blurry figure next to me, I think it is Kumajirou my poloar bear. Moving my hand to touch the face of the figure realize the figure it's a person. I begin to freak out to look for my glasses finding them on my night stand, Input them on to to find Gilbert is sleeping next to me.

I hear the door open "Mathew, Papa said he needs yoooooou." Alfred said wide eyed. I simply nod.

Looking back at the albino laying asleep next to me "When did he... get here?" I whisper.

My twin only stared in what seemed to be disbelief "Just... um go downstairs." he said starting to leave.

I do the same and leave my room. Thanking about how long it's been sense I've been here. Papa was waiting for me downstairs "Mathew, where is Gilbert?" he asked.

I only blush and sign 'sleeping'. That's when I hear soft foot steps, "Gil,?" I whispered confused and turned to face the stairs.

Papa looked at me in amazement and then looked at Gilbert "Mathew did you just really, say something." he began to cry "It's been so long... please tell me that I heard you correctly."

"Papa, Vous m'avez entendu, je peux parler mais seulement chuchoter." I say confidentiality. My parents come to hug and kiss me, for this is the first year I have been able to speak in a littel over thirteen years.

I was five when I lost my voice for what seemed like the rest of my life. Papa and Dad were so worried that I could possibly never have a real childhood like this' but I made it work. My voice might be low and soft but I'm still here so, notice me.

After thanksgiving I went back to the hospitaland they monitored my vocal cords as I talked for about a week.

When I finally get to walk on school campus I feel as if I had been gone forever. I went to my locker expecting Gilbert but no. As I walk to class people give me looksand talk I hear soft voices mention rumors.

"I thought he went to jail or died." a female voice said.

I make it to the Music room expecting a class full of students but instead no one was in so I sat where I think I sat last time. Setting my instrument down and sat there patiently.

Then I hear Beethoven's fifth symphony play and look behind me and out comes a lone violinist, Gilbert then the rest of the orchestra cellos and basses just went over to their instruments and started playing. Well I must say this is one heck of a welcome back party. I love this fine arts academy.

With me on the verge of tears they finished beautifully "Velcome back Mattie." Gilbert says walking over to me.

"Thank you. This was beautiful, I loved it." I say as everyone looked at me in amazement.

When everyone got to their proper seats, Mr. Eederushutain [A/N: Austria] asked me if Had know the new Holiday music. nodding in response only out of habit. His eyes had some hope in them.  

"Let's play, the Nutcracker first movement." He said raising his arms to give a count off and on the fourth beat we played everyone in perfect sync. A few stray notes here and there but for the most part perfectly synchronized. Our conductor helped  .  Us finish out the song. "Class perfect now the bell will ring in four minutes, so pack up."

"Gil." I say softly in his ear "Thank you for everything." he turned and smiled softly.

"Anyzing for ju." his words as genuine as his smile.

Gilbert's POV

Well after walking to class with writing Mattie our teacher only congratulated him for a swift recovery. Which he wasore than happy to be back.

Writing over all was boring till Mathew started to talk, it was like he had a way with words. His soft whispers flowed through me as he explained functions and graphs to me.

"Do, you understand now, Gil?" he asked softly.

"Ja, oh Mazew would you like to come over to my house?- But only to help um... study of course." my words stumbled out. He nodded and pushed his glasses up with one finger.

"I'll ask my papa at lunch, oh yeah my papa is the new French teacher François Bonnefoi." his words hit me then I remembered, his papa is pretty cool but a little out there.

Third class was better cause Mathew was there. But I have science  and his is French.  I walk into class Grandpa's class smiling. This is before I go to science class.

"Gilbert, vhy are ju smiling? Not zat it's bad or any thing." he asked.

"Vell Mazew came back today. Plus he agreed to be my math and science tutor." I say making him smile.

Science  was great and Mr. Kikerland looked pleased with my newly found work ethniasum. The walk to rhe cafeteria or should I say the sprint there was filled with music cause I was listening to the music I down-loaded to my phone.

I catch up with my usual friends, as I'm talking to Kiku, my brother Lidwig, Ivan, Feliciano, and Lovino about the competition for this portion of the school year, Mathew walks up to me smiling. "Hey Gilbert my dad said yes." Mathew said.

Smiling warmly "Cool, um come we'll walk to my house after school. Okay." I said.

-

After school Mattie and I walked home in comfortable silence. When we entered he seemed amazed "Grandpa I'm home, and I brought a friend." just as I said that I hear a small laugh.

"Okay, Torvald told me." his Italian accent fluttered through the air.

I take Mathew by the hand and lead him up the first flight of stairs only to go up one more that leads right into my room. Mathew's way with words is quite nice and easy to understand, after we studied for a while we started to talk about nothing really.

Third POV

"Hey Gilbert," the blonde boy said and the albino hummed in response, "well um I'm glad that we had this oppor-tunity with you." his soft French accent reaching the albino's ears. Gilbert hums in response "Oh, I'm late my papa is going to kill me."

"Do ju need a ride home?" Gilbert asked concerned for Mathew. The blonde nods his head softly gathering his books.

"Um sorry for making you take me home." his voice sounding weak.

Gilbert  shake my head helping the smaller male "Naw it okay Mattie, I love driving." he smiles leading him though my house to the foyer. "Gramps, I'm taking my car okay. It's to take Mazew home."

"Okay."

-

Mathew'sPOV

He parked the car in front of my house, my papa was already home so I turned to Gilbert looking into his red eyes "Thank  you, for the ride." I say befor feeling a pair of lips on mine.

It went as quickly as it came, "It's fine, and um... sorry." his words stumbled out. I feel my cheeks heat up.

"No um... it's um... okay." I say weakly looking at Gilbert "Bye Gil." I say getting out of the car and running to the house. Finally reaching the door I breath and walk in silently closing the door.

"Mathew what did I tell you, be home befor me not twenty minutes after me." Papa looked at me "but on the other hand you are here and you're, what is this you're blishing."

My papa is like my best-friend I can tell him anything and he won't get mad "Well um Gilbert kinda stole my first kiss." I state walking up to my room papa following close behind.

"Did you want this or what?" papa's French accent and caring voice made everything pour out.

"Yes and I didn't want it to end but all things must come to an end." I quickly shut my mouth before I say to much.

A small chuckle comes from my dad as I put my instrument and stuff in their respective places "Mon cheri, you can do what you want just be careful okay." I nod in response, and he leaves my room.
