GUSTAV a fanfic for margaret to read :)

[cassirolla]

Gustav stared absent mindedly out the window searching with warry eyes his anticipation growing with every passing second. the microwave beeped causing him to jump and he trudged back into the kitchen to grab his tv dinner. why should he be so nervous? he shouldnt. the words had been repeated over and over again in his head and yet... butterflies flooded his stomach making it hard for him to eat his dinner. impatients and nervousness did not go well together for gustav and he gave up throwing his dinner against the wall in anger. he had to calm himself down. bill tom and georg would be there soon and they would see right through him and detect his discomfort. "calm down calm down" he repeated over and over again in a husky whisper. looking around for something to busy his fidgeting hands he found a cd and popped it into the boombox. the familiar toons (of course they were familiar, he was bashing the heck out of the drums in this particular song) soothed him and helped him calm down. music could only calm him for so long as he hearrd tom, georg, and bill enter the house laughing loudly. this broke through gustav's perfectly composed control and it took all his effort to concentrarte on not hyperventalating. as he took one ragged breath after another tom walked through the door, "what up my brotha." gustav grinned back at him but could not speak for fear his voice would crack in a way that would both embarass and dangerously expose him. tom took note of the silence and was going to ask gustav what was wrong when a football soared through the air smacking him right in the side of the head. bill stood grinning stupidly while tom, previous thought trains completely forgoten (that seemed to happen a lot), moved in for the revenge. gustav took advantage of their absence to sneek off to another room of the house, but as the time ticked on, he became more and more nervous. no reason no reason. he reminded himself. this was routeen. he could do this and yet... what if it went all wrong? what if he said the wrong thing? doubt crept slowly into his mind and settled itself securly between his courage and confidence causing both to waver. maybe i can put this off, he argueed to himself hed only been puting this off for 6 years what was another two?? just a little longer was all he needed. but by then it might be too late he may be running out of time as he sat here talking to himself. only crazy people talk to themselves, he reminded himself. no normal people do too he countered inside his head. while he tried to determine if he was crazy or not the door bell rang. quickly jumping up he made his way to the door before any of the other could get there. smoothing his hair, a quick breath check, one last attempt to calm himself down and he threw open the door. a wide smile expanding on his face as he looked out.

next section:)

As gustav looked out the door he saw her and the grin spread to cover his entire face. worry seemed to melt away at the sight of her. her perfection seemed unreal to him and she only seemed to grow more beautiful by the day. Elizebeth smiled warming her whole face. as she stepped through the door gustav felt an irrational sense of panic. he had been planning this all day and yet he still didnt know how to word this right. he had known liz since they were 10 years old, and had loved her since. the only problem was...she didnt know it. he knew he was running out of time. this was the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and no snide comments from tom or embarassment at expressing his feelings was going to stop him from taking this chance. before he had a chance howeverr liz spoke, "i have some very exciting news to tell you!" she exclaimed with both hands in her pockets. "what a coincidence so do i," he countered, "but you can go first." as he watched she pulled her left hand out of her pocket and displayed a ring that now sat dazzling on her finger, "im engaged!!" she half yelled a bright grin lighting up on her radient face. gustav was shocked he tried to hide the hurt and shock that he was now feeling but didnt know if he succeeded. "thats great" he managed to say after a couple of minutes. his voice was huskier then he meant it to be and he tried clearing his throat. liz's smile slowly faded into a curious frown as she tried to determine what kind of a mood he was in. before she could ask though bill tom and georg walked through the door. "whats all this screaming we hear about, you two arent fighting are you" he teased. "no" gustav answered "liz is engaged" three pairs of eyes stared at gustav with worry and concern

gustav lay flat on his bed absentmindedly throwing a tennis ball into the air. his heart was broken and he had become desinsitized by the pounding on the door from bill tom and georg. "its alright dude pleanty of otherr girls out there." came georg's voice for the 100th time. then toms voice came, "ya i mean youve only waited half your life for this moment and totally screwed it up by waiting but no worries pleanty more of the female species out there." his words were followed by a smacking noise and an exclamation of pain from tom, "well its true!" in his head, gustav noted that he would have to thank georg for that later. toms words had gotten morre and more thoughtless as his patients wore out, which wasnt very big to start with. gustav reflected on his past. he was 12, he and liz were siting on the swings at the park swinging slightly back and forth while the wind blew through her hair. he looked at her with love in his eyes as she smiled back. they were 16. laying on the cool grass her head on his chest as he sang to her gazing at the stars. he lightly played with her hair. they were 18 sitting on the living room couch laughing together gustav debating on whether or not he should go in for the kiss, both of them leaning closer together when bill stumbled into the room wearing dark sunglasses, coming home from a party. liz turned away from gustav to speak to him and gustav internally cursed bill for his bad timing. "so how was the party? meet any hott babes?" she teased, "well one and so i went up to her and i was thinking 'ok just be yourself' so i started talking to her," "oh and how did that go?" asked gustav, "oh it went great she really liked me and we really hit it off that is...until herr husband showed up." he admitted pulling off his shades to expose his eyes, one of which was blackened and swollen shut. liz and gustav laughed together while bill grinned sheepishly. gustav was awoken from his momentary flash back by the wetness in his eyes and the continuing sound of the tennis ball he was throwing in the air. mid throw an amazing idea struck him and he dropped his hand shocked by his own brillance tennis ball forgotten until gravity took its course and it came down smacking him in the head but he didnt care, he could fix this. liz didnt have to be gone from him all he had to do was break up a wedding. piece of cake. he was shocked by his own brillance. it couldnt be that hard...could it?

gustav came out of his room with a bright mischivious smile on his face. georg tom and bill looked at him with questioning eyes but he only shrugged "i decided that i need to chill out and not worry too much." georg looked at gustav with knowing eyes and this made gustav nervous. georg had always been the most perceptive and more sensitive to other peoples thoughts and feelings, could he see right through him to what he was planning? he couldnt gustav himself didnt even know all that he was planning yet. gustav just shrugged reading all the questions in their eyes and walked away quickly before anything could be asked

it had been almost two weeks since gustavs sudden inspiration but he had absolutely no idea how to put these plans into action. liz had taken him to meet her soon to be husband, greg. he was a perfect gentleman always holding the door open for liz, polite, funny, handsome, great personality, and gustav hated him for it. there was something about him that he really didnt like, possibly the fact that he was trying to steal him woman but there seemed to be more to it then that. he watched greg constantly when he was with him and liz, watching him for a slip up but he seemed to do no wrong. every time greg held liz's hand, gave her a hug, kissed her cheek, or the worst, kissed her lips (which he seemed to do more often then necessary) gustav felt a twist of jealosy in the pit of his stomach that made him angry and an unresistable urge to kick him in the... well lets just say he really didnt like it. every day the wedding drew nearer and hearer and every day gustav got more and more anxious. he had already tried flirting with her in front of greg, not a good idea. on top of all his other qualities he was smart and he caught on quickly then focusing all his efforts on obtaining all of liz's attention leading to a make out session gustav really didnt want to see. he looked to his friends for suggestions but they werent much help. toms answer was to get a new girlfriend who was at the moment trying to maintain three of them. bills advice was to use his troubles and emotion to write a new song. georg seemed to be the most helpful and supported gustav with his decisions, good or bad. gustav decided to take a walk to clear his mind and ease his stress. as he walked he thought about liz and everything they had been through together and how much he meant to her. remembering her caused him to smile and bust out laughing out of nowhere making people walking by look at him like he was crazy. he was crazy, crazy in love (oooh corny line.) =) after about half an hour he saw two people walking in front of him. a man with his arm around the girl pulling her in a one armed hug and then releasing her. as he walked closer intending to pass them because they were walking slow deep in conversation he recognized greg. great just his luck he had to watch greg with liz again. but as he looked towards the girl expecting to see liz he saw blonde hair not brunette. closely assessing the girl he found that it wasnt liz. gustav froze with shock but quickly recovered and pulled out his phone to video tape what he was seeing. he was going to catch greg in the act of cheating, he had finally found a way to break them up, and he smiled at the thought. he followed a couple of feet behind them right to gregs empty appartment. thankfully it was on the ground floor and gustav scooted to the window camera up ready to catch this son of a gun.

every time greg held liz's hand, gave her a hug, kissed her cheek, or the worst, kissed her lips (which he seemed to do more often then necessary) gustav felt a twist of jealosy in the pit of his stomach that made him angry and an unresistable urge to kick him in the... well lets just say he really didnt like it.

I LOVE that line! Best ever!!

[cassirolla]

gustav crept to the open window and bega3

[margaritalouita9]

[cassirolla]

[margaritalouita9]

[cassirolla]

yes margaret beat me sorry for the momentary delay anyways.

as gustav crept to the open widnow he heard the girl talking "...thanks so much for letting me come over tonight it means a lot to me" greg answered "anytime you know that you can come over and spend the night anythime" spend the night? gustav had hit the jackpot he was going to get him good and win lez back. the girl ansered "im sure mom will love it that we are spending more quality time together." mom? thought gustav oh my gash hes married! he wasnt cheating on liz with this girl, he was cheating on this girl with liz!! as he widened the window so that he could jump into the room and expose greg for what he was doing he stepped on a twig that cracked loudly causing greg to looked towards the window, eyes wide with supprise. gustav froze for a second, then shoved the window open bounding in nearly dumping himself onto the floor. straightening up with what little dignity he had left he pointed one shaking finger at greg but was panting so hard in anger that he could not speak. greg took advantage of his momentary silence to introduce him. "gustav i would like you to meet my SISTER kathryn, kathryn this is gustav, liz's friend." kathryn looked at gustav with a smile that quickly faded from the look in gustav's eyes. in his mind he tried to click what greg had just said with his previous assumptions and it took a little while to process. gustav stuttered, "i....i... i - i just needed to -um- use the bathroom ya the bathroom so um can i use it?" "ya down the hall to the left" said greg eyeing him suspeciously seeing right through him. gustav stumpled clumsily to the bathroom and locked the door. holding onto the sink for support he stared himself in the mirror and relized what an idiot he was. he watched as the truth began to sink in, his embarrassment rose as did the red in his cheeks. he rose from his position. walked quickly from the bathroom and strode past the two without a word and walked straight out of the house
