A Challenger Appears!
So a while ago I took up the 3_way challenge (with Set 5, if you really care) for the pairing Alice/Oz/Gil from Pandora Hearts. Well, my muse has been mostly dead all summer, so I hadn't gotten around to it... until today. I was just kinda tired of sewing, I'm out of red thread, I don't have the normal needle that I need... It was time to find something else to do. So I pulled up a random number generator and went for something 1-48, for the themes (the last two are "author's choice" and I'd like to revive my muse before I get to those), and so the writing began.

Gil stumbles back into his small house, closing the door behind him as he resists a yawn. Work with Pandora had kept him much later than he had anticipated, even though he had tried his best to leave as soon as possible to return to the two he had left back at home.
The two, who he found when he entered the living room, were both sound asleep on the couch, leaning against each other.
Gil smiles as he shrugs off his coat, laying it over a chair and putting his hat on top before moving to wake the two younger ones. He hesitates as he looks down at them, wondering if they would consider him an invader (nevermind that they were living in his home), but Oz solves that little problem when his hand reaches up to grab onto Gil's wrist.
"Welcome home," the blonde whispers, and Gil nods, a small smile flitting across his face. "We tried to wait for you, but she fell asleep."
"You shouldn't have," the older man says, moving around the couch. He bends to pick up Alice to take her to her bed, but freezes when she stirs, mumbling into his neck.
"Idiot. Had to make sure my servant's servant made it home alive. Seaweed head."
Gil frowns down at the girl in his arms, but Oz just smiles, leading the way to the Chain's bedroom. "Alice worries about you, you know?" Gil doesn't respond, but he doesn't have to. "I do, too."
Gil puts Alice to bed, sees Oz to his own room before the boy falls asleep where he stands, and then goes to bed - and when the lights are all out and his door is shut, Gilbert is smiling.
