Letters to Gilbert (this is a shorter one)

A/n All my people from my Sebaciel fic that are interested in Philip and Gilbert here it is!

Philip's Pov

After getting back to the manner after Father's funeral Ludwig finally gives me the letter. Despite Mother's and Sebastian's pleas to stay out of the study I rush up there.

I unintentionally slam the door shut before sliding down it. After taking a few deep breaths I tear into the envelope.

I relax upon seeing Gilbert's dark, neat, handwriting.

Dear Philip,

I've told you I'm not German! I am Prussian! Anyways moving on I don't mind you were put through a lot of crap. I can assure you I've been through my fair share of tough times as well. The awesome me isn't going to go into detail but I'll explain how I feel. Call it a vent if you must.

I was created as a left handed albino and survived the middle ages. I managed to live through Elizabeta's beatings. I watched her and Roderich get married and had no problems. I didn't say anything when I realized my Brother loved the cry baby Italian more than me. I didn't shed a tear when old man Fritz died. I didn't last out like I wanted to when my country dissolved. But when I was out on the streets and someone told me in confidence Prussia was no longer important I nearly broke down and cried. I never thought I'd say this but......I'm just not as awesome anymore, am I?

I nearly fly over to my desk and grab a pen and a piece of paper. What the hell was he going on about in that letter?!

Almost instantly, I begin writing.

Gilbert,

I see you're very passionate about your home. That's a good thing I suppose. Moving on I'm a little bit confused what you mean by, "survived the middle ages." I thought you were only a few years older than me?

Age doesn't matter at this point though. I care far to much about my awesome Prussian.

Yours Truly,

Philip

Two weeks later

Dear Philip,

Your awesome Prussian eh? I hardly mind the title Earl Phantomhive.

I'm sorry I left you being so confused for so long. Awesome me is just a little scared to admit something to you. Now that I've said that I suppose I have to. I understand if this letter doesn't get a reply.

I'm a demon.

I didn't lie about the left handed albino thing. I really am both an albino and left handed.

But Philip I swear I'd never, ever, hurt you. I could care less about your soul. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier on.

Philip I swear we aren't all the same. We aren't all bad like Claude and Sebastian have been. It would mean the world to me if you'd let me prove that to you.

I love you Philip and I want to protect you from all of this.

Love Always,

Gilbert

3rd Person

Philip never replied to that letter. Matter of fact he burned it. He refused to believe the man he fell for was a demon.

It killed the poor kid. Every time he saw Ludwig and his boyfriend Feliciano all he could do was hold back tears. Philip never spoke a word of this to anybody.

Philip felt another of his loved ones betrayed his trust. Gilbert had been Philip's first friend and now could possibly be his last.
