Yo i haven't written anything or published anything in years what the fuck is up!

Lukas really didn't want to be here. Sitting on a couch in Arthur's apartment watching football, of all things. Arthur's boyfriend argued that its "America's pastime" but he also said the same thing about baseball. Nevertheless, here he was, bored as can be while the loud tune of the NFL played over the tv.

"Alfred, I thought you liked the patriots, what is this?" Arthur asked.

"They don't play this week, but football is football dude." He replied, plopping down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, spilling some on the floor.

"What teams are these?"

"Vikings vs the packers," Alfred said. "Minnesota and Wisconsin."

"Lukas, if you want to go, feel free to. I know you're not one for sports." Arthur said.

"I can't leave till Emil gets off work. He has the car." Lukas replied. He can't help but enjoy the thought of his brother working. He works at a Chuck E cheese knock off, and Emil does not enjoy kids. But what else can a 16 year old do besides horrible retail?

"Hey man he'll enjoy it. I sense he could be a vikings fan, being norwegian and all. Weren't they vikings?" Alfred said. Lukas rolled his eyes. He didn't understand football one bit, aside from there being a ball and their field being a standard use of measurement in America.

The game began and right away Alfred was involved. He was yelling at the referee, the players, and jumping up at each play. Arthur watched his boyfriend more than the game with both a look of endearment and annoyance. Then it was half time.

"You know, I went to collage with one of the vikings." Alfred said, popping more popcorn in the kitchen. "Number 47! We were both on the football team!"

"Till you flunked out." Arthur said.

"I dropped out, thank you."

"Academic probation basically means you flunked out."

"I made the decision to leave school! I'll go back!" This argument had happened many times before. "See there he is!"

The men on tv were talking about the new addition to the team. The camera cut to the player. "Number 47, Mathias Køhler."

The man was tall, had blonde hair, messed up in almost spikes. His eyes were bright blue, and he had a cocky smile on his face. He was extremely attractive. Lukas' eyes were glued to the screen. This made the other two chuckle.

"Never seen you so interested in football Lukas." Arthur said. This snapped the norwegian back to reality.

"Aw do you have a crush on Mathias?" Alfred teased.

"He's attractive but I wouldn't go that far." Lukas said, rolling his eyes but a blush coming to his face. Alfred laughed.

Lukas' phone lit up with a text from his brother. He was outside thankfully.

"I'll see you guys later." He said, heading towards the door. Once outside, Alfred turned to his boyfriend.

"I'm pretty sure Matt is gay." He said.

"What are you thinking?" Arthur said with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing, nothing. Let finish the game." The two cuddled back onto the couch as half time was ending.

In the car on the way home, Lukas eyes didn't leave his phone. Emil talked about some kid puking in the ball pit, which was apparently the worst thing to happen on a sunday and how he and Leon had to fight over who was going to clean.

"What's got you so focused?" the younger asked, peering over. "Football?"

"If Alfred is going to interrupt me and Arthur every week for football, I might as well understand it."

"To each their own. Weird though."

"You're one to talk. Didn't you get into k-pop for your friend?"

"I just needed something to talk about at work." Emil blushed. His crush on his friend Leon was never discussed. In fact, neither brother knew the other was gay. It was rightfully assumed of Lukas because of his friends, the saying 'birds of a feather flock together' being quite truthful. Leon was out of the closet as gay though, Arthur being his cousin had told Lukas this when they learned the two younger boys were friends.

The rest of the car ride was relatively short and the two parted ways once back in their shared apartment. Lukas sat back in his desk chair, pulling out his laptop and googling more about this Køhler man.

It was true he went to the same school as Alfred, except completed his degree in Communications. Lukas then took to facebook, going on Alfred's profile and searching through his friends. He had a lot. It was as if Alfred added everyone he came across on facebook. The total count in the thousands. The lack of any alphabetical organization on the website seriously bothered the man so he had to resort to searching instead, which was probably a good idea to start with. Mathias… At least 17 results came up, but near the top was Mathias Køhler. Lukas felt a small smile creep to his face. Facebook stalking wasn't weird was it? Everyone did it after all.

He clicked the man's profile and the page turned. There was Mathias in the main circle on the left, turned around. His purple and gold jersey saying Køhler on the back with a big 47. His cover photo was him with two other men, a dog, and a child. It almost looked like a family portrait, except none of them looked alike. His timeline was full of photos of him playing football from various friends. He had no bio, and a lot of information was hidden, probably for good reasoning, being a pro athlete and all. But one thing stood out: it said he lives in the same city. This was odd considering they were nowhere near Minnesota, but supposedly he just forgot to change it to where he lives now. This meant he was from here though. Lukas might've crossed paths with him at some point… although he would've remembered someone so attractive. He wondered if Mathias ever came into the dentist office he worked at. He'd have to check at work tomorrow.

After stalking for a bit longer, Lukas started laughing at himself. Why was he stalking some football player who was probably straight? There were lots of pictures on his timeline of himself with women, and most football players were indeed straight. Besides, what were the chances they'd ever really see each other? He lived in Minnesota, Lukas lived in New England. There were completely different sections of the country!
The norwegian decided to finish his stalking and go back to the book he was reading instead. A nice fantasy book to conclude a fantasy thought, the probability of meeting Mathias fading from his mind.

This was not the case for Alfred.

Hey buddy i know we havent talked in like a year since i left school but next time youre in town we should get together.

Alfred sent the message to Mathias late that night. The active 3 hours ago turned to active now and the chat bubble popped up.

Yea man it's been forever! I'm coming back for thanksgiving since we dont play and i'll be in town from like monday to saturday

Alfred grinned.

Dude yes how about tuesday night we get together for dinner at romanos?

As long as its not a date ;) Mathias replied.

I know you can't resist me matt but i have a boyfriend. In fact i'll bring him and one of my buddies.

Sounds good. Tuesday at romanos around 7 work?

Ye see you then buddy!

Alfred swiped out of messenger and locked his phone, setting on the bedside table.

"Hey were going out to dinner tuesday, tell lukas we'll pick him up." He said to his boyfriend.

"Fine fine. Go to sleep." Arthur replied. In two days, Lukas was going to be in for a surprise.
