Chapter 16 - Play time is over?

Lavender extracted pancakes topped with geek yogurt and this season's berries, all with a nice tall glass of green tea to cleanse the palette? Granted this school already was 'special' enough, but the school's cafeteria was something completely different. More than half of the meals you've consumed while here were things you've never heard of or way to expensive for your family to ever consider purchasing. Not to mention that the chiefs always put up a nutrition sheet that explains exactly how much your eating; every meal is perfectly balanced and you've even noticed that you have more energy now that your diet had changed.
An oddly long conversation with Lukas was this morning's entertainment; by oddly, I mean it was a true rarity, both Lukas and you talked calmly and endlessly........ About D&D (Dungeons and Dragons). Even Mathias and Tino attempted to join in on the conversation, but when they found out about your outfit they were more than keen to see you wearing it. Emil.... Emil still avoided any social or visual contact with you; it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't even know what you look like, why does he treat you like this? Is he just a snob or can it be possible that he is shyer than you originally thought?
Then something caught your eye over Lukas's shoulder, it was Antonio and Francis. They seemed shut out from the world and acted low key; what happened to them and where was Gilbert? Okay! Now Mr Germania was starting to scare you; first the Russian scarf wearing psychopath went missing for a few days after his 'scene' in the library and when he returned he seemed to be in shell shock for a while. Then Antonio, Gilbert and Francis went missing for a while due to them being the guilty party of your intoxicated state on Sunday; now only Antonio and Francis have returned, but not like their normal characters. This now raises the question of what happens to misbehaving students; but the most dire question right now is, 'what has happened to Gilbert?'

Mathias: attempting to gain your attention
Earth to creepy lady that's drooling over Lukas!

You: snapping out of your daze
W-what?

Mathias: pointing at your pancakes
You gonna eat em?

Your eyebrows crashed together as you sent the Dane a nasty frown.

Mathias: shrugging his shoulders and taking a sip from his drink
So you gonna admit you have the hots for Norge or is there a completely different reason as to why you zoned out from the conversation and focused in on his emotionless girly face?

Oh..... Where you really that lost in thought?
Great, another one of those times that you get lost in thought and end up awkwardly staring at someone without realising it.
Luckily this isn't your first rodeo; this moment has happened way, way, WAY, too many times.

Lukas: looking down at his plate
Who's behind me?

He knew?
Thank you Lukas...

You: sighing
Antonio and Francis.... I don't see Gilbert though?

Berwald: cutting in
They only got minimal punishment because Gilbert was the main offender. Plus Mr Germania is trying to teach him how to be more respectable and run a school with an iron fist; play time for Gilbert is over.

Tino: chiming in
Play time was over for Gilbert a long time ago; only if Sir could see Gil has something new to offer to the school....

You: curious
What kind of punishments does he do? It's kinda crazy that people go missing and return like they watched someone die!

Lukas: sending a stare
Quiet, not so loud.

Mathias: cocking his head at you
You seem rather passionate about this.

You leaned back in your seat and twiddled with your thumbs for a minute; your mind was made up.

You: getting out of your seat
I need to talk to Mr Germania.

Berwald: grabbing a hold of your hand
Don't be stupid.

Your hand tensed up and Berwald's did too... He was serious over this. What are they trying to hide?
You tricked Berwald by loosening up your tense hand and he did too, then you took your chance and slipped it out of his grip. He tried to chance after you, but something Emil said stopped him.

Emil: sitting with crossed arms
Ridiculous with how dramatic your all acting; let her learn the truth.

...

Running through the halls of a building towards a powerful figure, all just because you feel that a great injustice was done? Where is the girl that couldn't ever freely talk with people; the one who found happiness in isolation, the ocean, her family and the creation that made her an anonymous representative of truth? Truth? Yes! That's why your doing this! Your revealing the truth and freeing the masses from injustice actions towards their minor blemishes they committed in history. Forcing someone to forget what they have done will not improve them, only curse them to repeat history; we all live with these metaphorical or literal 'scars', you included.
Mr Germania's office...
The pounding of your heart apparently deafened your common sense, cause you just stormed into his office and caught the attention of the power crazy hippy, Ludwig and that Austrian guy you never caught the name of. Okay so stage one of your plan that you never officially created is over... Now what? Act like your a character off some cheesy soap-opera that decided to storm into a meeting and spend a good chunk of the screen time standing their dramatically and make awkward gasping noises; cause your already doing that... Just giving you a heads up.

Mr Germania: frowning
This is a veird vay to make jour presence known.

Ah!
... Well then, unexpected comment.

You: standing straight and putting your hands by your side
I-I'm sorry. Please forgive me, I came here to ask where Gilbert is.

Giving up already _____?
You just stormed in here like a cliché powerhouse, but just suddenly became a weak submissive dog to your 'master'.

Roderich: confused
Vhy are jou concerned over him?

The Germanic figure sat there silenced for a minute and then tossed his wrist at the door.

Mr Germania: signalling to Roderich to stay
Ludwig, take ____ to see Gilbert sense she seems to be vorried over him.

...

Being escorted by Ludwig down the endless winding corridors gave you a rush; like you were a high class criminal taking your final walk down to where you'd be executed.

Ludwig: putting his hand on a door
Vait here, I'll tell jou vhen to enter.

As the German hulk entered the room and left you to wait on the other side of the door you heard weird clanking of metal and distorted gasps.
What are these sickos doing to Gilbert in there? Is he chained to a wall and being tortured?
The idea of pain being inflected on Gilbert made your blood boil and you snuck into the room, creeping literally right behind Ludwig.

Ludwig: turning his head around
Stubborn.... Genau wie er. (Just like him)

Hmmm...
Speaking German to me eh...
I'm warning you now, I'm full of adrenalin and am no long responsible if I bet your butt into submission.

Ludwig: walking away from the door
Gilbert, jemand ist hier um dich zu sehen. (Gilbert, someone is here to see you)

As you followed Ludwig the clanking and gasps got louder, then work out equipment began to show; then you saw him. Gilbert was at the end of the room.... Lifting weights, deep in concentration.... While.... Ahhh... *ahem*

Ludwig: trying to get Gilbert's attention
Gilbert!

The albino was snapped out of his concentration and frowned up at Ludwig, but the moment his ruby eyes saw you, his facial expressions went absolutely bipolar.

Gilbert: putting down his weights and walking over to grab a towel
____? Vhy are jou here?

You: blushing
Sur-surprise!

Gilbert: smiling
Ludwig kannst du gehen, damit wir reden können? (Ludwig can you leave so we can talk?)

Ludwig: crossing his arms
Ich habe strenge Befehle, euch nicht alleine zu lassen ... Legen Sie ein Hemd an. (I have strict orders not to leave you both alone... Put a shirt on)

Gilbert: snarling at his brother
I don't take orders from jou.

Oh mama!
It was obvious that Gilbert had a nice physique, but BOII!
His chest could be used as a washboard!
... Creepy...
Okay now your thoughts are getting mega creep a loaded.

Gilbert: gesturing to you to take a seat
So jour here for?...

You: trying to look at his face
Well... I-I saw Antonio and Francis, an-and was curious of where you were.

Please! Put on a shirt! This is so hard trying not to get distracted by THAT!

Gilbert: sitting next to you
Vell I'm here!
I'll be back to school in a few more days after my punishment is over.

You: make your eyes wonder around the room
So, what is the punishment?

Gilbert: noticing what your doing
My grandpa makes all misbehaving students go into a 'solitary confinement' for a vhile; which is basically like being grounded and not allowed to leave jour room. He believes this helps vith us to think about vhat ve've done.

Really?
Something that basic?
Some reason your not exactly buying that.

You: looking at your feet
Oh...

Gilbert: patting your shoulder
I think it's best jou get to class; is that all jou vanted to know?

You: lifting up your head
Ah, yea.

Gilbert: standing up and walking back over to his weights
Thank jou for visiting! I really enjoyed seeing jou again.

You nodded your head while standing up and were about to close the door as you were now out in the corridor, but were stopped for a second.

Gilbert: looking away from you with a saddened tone
I'm sorry about the beer... I don't know vhat I vas thinking.

Tears began to pool up in your eyes as that unexpected final words hit you like a ton of bricks, you'd already forgave them all.

Ludwig: waiting for a few minutes to make sure you were out of earshot
That vas unexpected.

Gilbert: smiling to himself
Ja, I know. I liked it though.

Ludwig studied his elder brother's face for a moment and smiled to himself for a bit too; just because play time is over for Gilbert, doesn't mean he needs to stop.

==================================================================================

I'm pretty sure that this is the first time Emil had said something throughout the whole story XD

I once has a lavender extracted milkshake, it was really good!
I haven't seen any products with lavender extract after that though, but I highly recommend if you do get a chance to taste something with lavender extract in it, DO IT!

Hope you all enjoyed!

Thank you for reading!
