If Sablier Never Happened ~ Prologue

If Sablier Never Happened ~ Chapter 2

Gilbert was following Oswald around.

"Is there something I can do for you, master?"

"You can relax for the moment being."

Gilbert stopped. "Relax and do what?"

"Let's go find Vincent."

"Okay."

Oswald walks Gilbert over to the Vessalius household to find Jack and Vincent.

"Nii-san!" Vincent ran to Gilbert and hugged him. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too."

"Are you having fun?"

"Glen-sama is nice to me, but it's not very fun. I'm still a bit scared of him." Gilbert looked over to Oswald.

Oswald heard this and looked at Gilbert.

"Are you having fun with Jack?"

"Of course I am! Jack is great!" Vincent smiled widely and threw his hands in the air. "He always makes me happy and lets me do anything. And he makes sure no one gets mad about my eye."

"That's good."

Jack grabs Vincent and puts him on his shoulders.

"Wait! I'm still talking." Gilbert sighs and puts his head down.

Oswald looks at Jack and Vincent then at Gilbert. He picks up Gilbert and puts him on his shoulders.

"Ah! What?" Gilbert panics and almost falls.

Oswald gabs onto Gilbert and fixes him.

"It looks like nii-san is having fun."

"That's good."

Oswald and Gilbert were getting a lot of stares.

"Glen, are you sure you should be running like that?"

This went ignored. He kept running and ended up hitting Gilbert's head on a doorway.

"Ow."

"Sorry about that. I'll get you fixed."

"Is nii-san okay?"

Oswald lifts Gilbert.

"Glen will take care of him."

"It is okay, Glen-sama. I can walk myself." Gilbert tried jumping down. He looked a bit dizzy.

"Let's get going."

"Bye, Vincent."

Oswald takes Gilbert back to the manor and into his room. He tried fixing Gilbert's head, but Gilbert ran.

"No. You cannot take care of me." Gilbert continues backing up. "It is my job to take care of you."

"Gilbert, do I really scare you?"

"A little bit. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you."

"You don't have to. Just remember you don't have to be scared of me."

"Glen-sama, can you tell me what I have to go through to become the next Glen?"

"Alright. Take a seat on my bed and I'll tell you."

By the time the description was over, Gilbert was a bit nervous. It was a good thing Oswald skipped over the part of Vincent going into the abyss.

"When will this start?" Gilbert was clinging to a blanket.

"It will start in two weeks."

"Will it hurt?"

"No. You'll be fine."

"Okay. I trust you." Gilbert loosened his grip on the blanket.

"I promise you'll be okay and I won't let anything bad happen."

"Thank you."
