Chapter Forty Six | TearsXTroubles

"Why did everyone say Gilbert was so dangerous?" I asked when it was too silent.

"We know you must have questions but can we please hold off on them, Gil is still pissed."

"Gil's pissed?" I asked angrily and overdramatically, "I almost got raped!"

Gilbert nearly broke the car door off as he opened it and jumped out while we were going at top speeds down a dirt road.

"Gil!" Francis shouted.

I whipped my head around and Francis jumped out of the car and ran in the direction behind us.

What the hell, no one was even driving but thankfully Antonio was fast enough to take control of the wheel before we even veered off road.

Antonio patted heavily and turned the car off. He opened the door up to let in the cool night air and it was partially relaxing to hear the crickets chirping.

"Night is comforting," I whispered and Antonio nodded.

"Will you be okay?" He asked, leaning his head back to look at me.

"Eventually. Can we just not talk about it. I'd rather just be cuddled and have my back rubbed or brought water when I need it, stuff like that. I'm too tired and anxious to be alone safely."

He nodded worriedly.

I begin nodding off in the back seat of the car but I woke up thirty minutes after we started driving again.

Gilbert was curled around me, the only thing that brought him enough comfort apparently.

Francis had chased him back to zasch's gates and Gilbert had to be held back by multiple men and Elizabetta.

His breathing was heavy.

He was terrified.

He hadn't noticed me in pain. In danger. In fear. He was loathing himself for it.

The three cared about me sincerely but Gilbert had slightly different emotions. Slight parental, slightly obsessive. I was his and not to be touched by anyone else whether it be my will or not.

I let him curl around me.

It was comforting.

I liked his warm breath on my neck, his strong arms wrapped around me, the feeling of being held, of my back to his chest, our legs entangled. It was an amount of comfort unrivaled in my life so far.

I fell back asleep until we arrived at the house and I heard the car engine stop and Francis and open their doors and come to check on us.

Gilbert had also fallen asleep but stirred awake instantly at the slightest of sound. More alert than ever.

He glared through sleepy eyes at Antonio as he pulled us upright and Francis opened the door to the house ushering us inside.

Gilbert picked me up and walked me inside while Antonio shut the car doors and skipped behind us.

They didn't bother turning the lights on downstairs they headed upstairs immediately and Gilbert curled back up around me in the safety of my bed.

"Do you want to talk about this?" Antonio asked.

"No," I said faintly.

"It might 'elp-" Francis started.

"She said no," Gilbert snapped, his hold around me tightening.

"Gil."

"Don't Gil me, you should be just as angry! Ve failed her! Ve promised ve'd protect her! She almost got raped and ve vere messing around!" He thundered.
