Day 4: The Ordeal
The ordeal, Gilbert thought, is way over-selling it. Because it hadn't been "an ordeal," had it? And they had had ordeals, real ordeals. Going to jail, people had been poisoned kind of ordeals. Life or death stuff. Literally!
But some pancake night? One dinner? One... he'd admit... slightly failed dinner? It wasn't anything to be this dramatic about.
He was trying to be nice! Trying to make one of Matthew's favorite foods knowing he would be coming home late! Furthermore, they hadn't been that bad. They hadn't been burnt (to a crisp, but like, a little blackness never killed anyone). They'd been fluffy (enough). And they'd been... edible. So.
"An ordeal. A complete ordeal," Matthew was stressing to a sympathetic Alfred. Gilbert rolled his eyes.
