What is Love? | Violet x Gilbert fanfic

His Survival

Major Gilbert's POV

"Violet... You have to... Live!"

"Major!" her eyes are sparkling with tears.

"I... Love you, Violet."

. . .

I wake up a wince in pain. I'm covered in bandages.

"I see you're awake. You were in a bad way, you know."

I look to my right. "Who are you? Where am I?"

I see a man with brown hair and turquoise eyes. He's tall and skinny.

"I'm the man who pulled you out all that rubble." he crosses his arms, "I'm not the kind of man to find someone still alive in that wreakage and not do anything."

I sit up quickly. "Where's Violet?"

He looks confused, "You were the only person I found."

She escaped...

"See? Look what you've done." he uncrosses his arms and walks towards me.

I look down. My bandages are now covered in blood. My wounds have opened up.

He lay me back down and put pressure to stop the bleeding.

"How rude of me," I start.

"Don't speak! You're too weak right now."

"My name is Major Gilbert Bougainvillea. It was rude to ask who you are without introducing myself first."

"Major? Oh well, talk later. Just keep quiet for now."

He manages to stop the bleeding and he fetches a towel to wipe his sweat. He put the towel around his shoulders and sighs as he collapses into a chair.

"Major Gilbert Bougainvillea, huh? You're pretty famous you know... For being incompetent, that is..."

I look towards him. I feel too weak to respond.

"I'm Lloyd Einsbern, " he says, "I'm just the local doctor."

I feel myself falling asleep. Consciousness... Is slipping...

"I should let you rest. You'll need it."

I take a deep breath as I drift off to sleep...

(After Gilbert recovered, Lloyd returned him home)
