I Thought it was Us against the world? A Shirbert Fanfic

just a freind who you wanna marry?

Gilbert couldn't stop staring at anne she hadn't noticed as she was catching up with Cole about art school. Gilbert remembered that bash had given him a letter and told him not to open it until he reached aunt Jo's house, he exused himself from the table and ran upstairs got out the letter and read:

Bltyhe,
Please stop being so oblivious and man up only a boy can't admit when he's gone over a lady it's so clear you love her and she loves you so shutup and just marry anne,
Bash
Gilbert couldn't belive what he was reading there's no way anne liked him, no way
Cole walked in at that moment
"COLE YOU HAVE TO READ THIS" Cole took it from his hands and when he read it he started laughing
"WHAT FUNNY DONT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT SAYS"
"Gilbert ofcouse she has a crush on you she blushes every time your name is mentioned she literally doesn't stop talking about that gift you gave her at Christmas
Gilbert's face was now more red than Anne's hair
" and its so clear you love her, everyone said when she smashed that slate over your head you smiled who smiles when someone hit you?"
Gilbert sat there listening
"Oh and the time you met Jerry for the first time and you just stared into eachothers eyes and according to anne she could "fall into a your Hazel eyes" gilbert stayed silent then he realised
"IM IN LOVE WITH ANNE SHIRLEY CUTHBURT"
"Congratulations you're officially the last to know"
"WAIT ANNE KNOWS!?"
"No ofcourse not she's as dumb as you alough I belive you two are the smartest kids in class"
"Oh my personal favourite line of yours is when you spelt engagement wrong and said 'I should've added an ''E" that was smooth"
Gilbert was still blushing
"Anne told you all of that?"
" Well more Diana but anne thinks outloud alot"
"So what now"
"Get married" Cole joked
"WAIT I KNOW"
"What is it Cole?"
"Well tonight Jo's having a party and Diana is playing white dashing sergeant on the piano"
"So?"
"So you can dance with anne you dummy"
"YES COLE YOU'RE THE BEST" Giblert hugged Cole (A/N I don't care if it was frowned upon to hug to male freinds in those days but fuck society)
(Back with anne and Diana in Anne's room)
Anne was unpacking her luggage when a note fell out
"Huh?"
"What is it anne?" Diana asked
"A note?"
The note read:
Anne,
Please hear me out, Gilbert loves you, you're all he ever talks about how perfect and smart you are "she's a red head, fiery temper" that's what he first said about you on the boat and he wouldn't stop talking about you and it's clear you love him too so just shut up and court him already
Yours, Bash
"DIANA GILBERT HAS A CRUSH ON ME"
"Well obviously"
"Huh? Dearest of Diana's what do you mean?"
"It's so obvious he looks at you with heart eyes he came back to avonloa for you!"
"No he came back for the gold"
"No anne, he came back to see you!"
"Well I have to tell him he can't love me what would Ruby say"
"ANNE SHIRLEY CUTHBURT IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT RUBY THINKS YOU LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES YOU SO JUST COURT HIM BEFORE YOU LOSE HIM IM PLAYING AT AUNT JOS PARTY TONIGHT SO JUST DANCE WITH HIM"
anne was so shocked she then shot up and shouted
"IM IN LOVE WITH GILBERT BLYTHE"
