It's been over a year since Gilbert left Avonlea. you grew older made a few friends and you felt normal again. but you still missed Gilbert. he had written you once. He told you about his new friend Sebastian and all the amazing things he had seen. you had written back saying you missed him and telling him about the things that were going on in Avonlea. you never send the letter you wrote the first day after he left. it was still on your desk. you never touched it again but you knew all the words written on it. your feelings didn't fade away. you didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing.

You were on your way to school with Diana. you and Diana became good friends. but she could never replace Gilbert. when you approached the school you noticed that there was no one outside. "are we late?" you ask with a small frown. "I don't think so" Diana says.
you walk into the school house and see everyone standing in a circle. you take of your hat and coat and walk towards your classmates. 


"what's going on?" you ask and you push past some boys. it's Gilbert. your best friend. the person you love. he's back. a big smile appears on your face. "Gilbert you're back!" you jump into his arms and he immediately hugs you tight. he had grown taller and you now fitted perfectly under his chin. he smells slightly like cinnamon. you buried your head into his chest. "I told you I was gonna come back" he whispers. you slowly pull away. "I missed you" you say smiling. you have tears in your eyes. happy tears if course. "I missed you too" he says smiling back at you. 

"everybody take your seats! and open your readers at page 23!" Mr Phillips said as he walked into the classroom. "talk after class?" you ask. "yea I have so much to tell you" he says before sitting down."I wanna hear everything" you smile and walk over to your desk. "Gilbert's even more handsome now" you hear Ruby say behind you causing you to clench your fists.

at lunch all the boys are still crowding Gilbert. you decide to just talk to him after. when lunch is over Gilbert walks over to your desk. "sorry I was attacked with questions" he says chuckling. "it's fine but do you wanna hang out at my place after?" you ask with hopeful eyes. "yea of course! see ya" he says and sits down at his desk. you can't focus during class. you keep looking at Gilbert most of the time he's looking at you as well. then both of you would smile and quickly look away.

when class is finally over you quickly grab your coat and hat and walk outside waiting for Gilbert. "hey y/n" Gilbert walks up to you with a smile. "hey gil ready to go?" you ask smiling back at him. you feel a little nervous about hanging out with him for the first time in months. "do you mind if we go to my place first so you can meet Sebastian." "oh sure! I'd love to meet him" 

you already feel more relaxed as you guys start walking. "you look different" Gilbert says looking at you up and down. "more mature" you blush. "you too! you're so tall" you chuckle. he smiles. 

you approach his house and he knocks on the door. a man opens the door. "Y/n this is my friend Sebastian. Sebastian this is Y/n" Gilbert says smiling. "nice to meet you Sebastian" you say shaking his hand. "nice to meet you too. I've heard so many things about you, and please call me Bash" he says with a thick accent. he chuckles.

Gilbert talked about me?

"are you guys coming in or not" Sebastian asks. "actually no we're going to Y/n's place" Gilbert says smiling. "oh well have fun then" Sebastian says and he smirks at Gilbert. "Goodbye Bash" Gilbert chuckles before turning around. "bye" you say and you follow Gilbert.

you guys walk through the crunching snow in complete silence but it's not an uncomfortable silence. you feel his hand brush against yours for a moment and your heart starts pounding in your chest. Gilbert gives you a small smile before looking at the ground blushing.

is he blushing?

When you reach the house he suddenly stops walking. "I missed going here almost every day" he says chuckling. "I missed you being here almost every day" you chuckle and open the door. "why don't you go up to my room and I'll get us some drinks." "sure" he says and he walks up the stairs. 

you disappear into the kitchen and pour some drinks. you slowly walk up to your room. when you open the door Gilbert looks at you with wide eyes. he's standing at your desk with a piece of paper in his hands. you put down the cups and frown. "why are you looking at me like that" you chuckle, but then it suddenly hits you. you widen your eyes.

the letter. he read it.

"you're in love with me? he asks. "y-you weren't s-supposed to read t-that" you say and tears form in your eyes.
"I'm sorry, my name was on it so I assumed..." he paused for a second "do you still have feelings for me?" he asks. you sit down on your bed. "I-" you pause. "I do. I still love you. I ruined our friendship didn't I? I should've thrown that letter away. you could never feel the same anywa-" "Y/n-" he sits down next to you. you look at the floor bright red and tears rolling down your face. "Y/n I love you too" Gilbert says moving closer. he gently lifts up your chin with his finger. you look at him. "y-you wha-" Gilbert cuts you off by gently grabbing your face and smashing his lips on yours. he puts his hands on your waist pulling you closer. you feel him smile into the kiss. you take in his cinnamon scent once again and your whole body tingles as your lips slowly move against Gilbert's fitting like two pieces of a puzzle. this is the moment you've waited for all your life. you slowly pull away and smile. "I guess I'm happy I didn't throw away that letter" you chuckle and so does Gilbert. "Me too Y/n" he says laying down pulling you in a warm hug and placing kisses on your forehead. 

"me too"
