This is my first fanfiction, so be gentle!
Mathew looked back at the form laying in bed, sound asleep. Alfred always slept deeply after they quarreled, the bruises on Mathew's flesh dully aching at the memory. With a quiet sigh, he looked around the room once more, knowing it would be the last time he ever saw it again, ever saw him again. Slowly, he picked up the small duffel bag at his feet, walked out the door, and never came back.

Man, you'd think that a friggin liquor store would have a better selection. A tall albino man stood in front of the shelves for the third time this week. He had a right to complain though, seeing as he'd already tried more than half of the various brands in the store to no avail. Uhg, he let out a quiet sigh, still surveying the cases of liquor.
"If your looking to try something new, I would suggest Moosehead over there on your right...its pretty good..." a quiet voice spoke from behind Gilbert, making him turn his head to the front of the store. He met eyes with a surprised looking cashier, a smalll blonde boy with bright lavender eyes. He looked like a boy at least; he had a round childish face and small figure. The blushing didn't help with this scenario. He'd seen him once or twice before, but hadn't ever heard him speak really, other than to tell him how much money his order was, so he was startled to hear him now.
Mathew blushed when the albino man looked at him. No one ever really noticed him, and had expected this person to be the same and not have heard what he said. So it shocked him when the man looked right at him, his red eyes bright and piercing against his pale skin. Flustered, he stuttered, "I-I mean, I j-just thought that you might-"
"Thanks," Gilbert smiled at him, "I'll give it a try then." he chuckled.
