Song Fic: Speak Now

Song: Speak Now by Taylor Swift Characters: Alice Sweeney, Gilbert Lehmann, Roderich Klein, Lizzy Lupei Ship: Roderich/Lizzy, Lizzy/Gilbert, Alice/Gilbert

His throat clenched as he watched her step out from around the corner in her beautiful white gown. His fists clenched against his sides, he needed to keep his composure. He couldn’t let anyone know how bad this was killing him, he was supposed to be happy for his brother. He was given the honor of standing with Klaus, Bach, Leonardo and Sebastian for Roderich. It was his duty to smile and keep the mood light. Who would be selfish enough to ruin their brother’s wedding, so what if he was in love with his bride, it wasn’t his right to ruin their event. So what if she had been in his home days ago, in his bed, telling him how they’d be together forever? He bit the inside of his cheek to fight the forming tears, had he known she was his brother’s fiancé, it never would have happened. He betrayed his own brother, but his heart ached to say something. He needed to know why, why she lead him on, why she lied to him, why she was choosing his brother over him?

“Gil, are you ok?”

Gilbert blinked, he hadn’t realised they ceremony was over. Everyone was celebrating, moving to join the new couple in the ballroom. Everyone except him, and Alice.

“Gilbert, what’s wrong?”

His red eye glanced down at her worried gaze, he wasn’t sure what to say. He hadn’t spoken to Alice since she left his home.

“I… Yeah, I’m fine.”

Alice frowned, she could always see through him, “Gil, what’s going on? You haven’t been acting like yourself at all today.”

He wanted to point out that she was the only one who noticed besides Klaus, “I’m fine.”

She crossed her arms over her red dress, “Gilbert, I’m not going to force it out of you and make a scene at Roderich’s wedding, but I don’t appreciate the secrecy lately. Just because we aren’t on good terms right now, doesn’t mean that I suddenly don’t care how you’re doing.”

Gilbert sighed, she wasn’t going to drop it, “The girl I was seeing… It was her.”

He watched her eyes glance behind them toward the closed doors before turning to him with wide eyes. He quickly placed a hand over her lips.

“I sware I didn’t know she was dating Roderich or his fiance or anything until yesterday! You know he and I haven’t been talking for a few years. I knew he had someone and was getting married, but I had no idea who she was until I ran into her yesterday. I swear.”

Alice sighed, pulling him into a hug, “I’m sorry, Gilbert.”

Gilbert’s arms wrapped around her automatically, and he finally let the tears start to fall. She wasn’t accusing him, she wasn’t mad, she offered him comfort, even after their fight.

“You should tell Roderich, he deserves to know the kind of woman he married.”

Gilbert squeezed his eye shut, “He’ll hate me.”

Alice sighed, “Ok, when you’re ready.”

He nodded into her shoulder, she was right, she seemed to always be nowadays. He’d tell him, tomorrow. He didn’t want to ruin his brother’s celebration.
