Francis came down the stairs of a dark subway station. He just stood there, waiting for the train to come so he could pick up his sister from the airport. He listened to the faint sounds of people talking and the small noises the rats made. It was rather early in the morning, so nobody was awake yet. He heard the faint sounds of running, but he thought nothing of it. But then he heard gunshots. He straightened up a bit. He was always a good fighter, but he was scared to show his strength. He was just a hopeless romantic always stuck with coffee and a romance novel. A man ran past him and ducked in the alleyway. Another man looked around after coming into view. "Did you see a blonde man in a pathetic excuse for a coat?" A brunette man asked. "No." Francis said. if anything, the blonde was hiding. "What did he do that was so bad that you are willing to chase him down for?" The brunette sighed. "He stole some food. I couldn't care less if he's homeless or not. I'm just doing my job." Francis reached into his satchel and pulled out some cash. "This should pay for it. Now go stop some kids from painting that staircase blue." The man went over to the kids, while Francis went into the alley. "Are you a-ah!" Arthur hugged him. "Thank you sir...thank you so much..." "You're welcome." Francis smiled. "Are you alright?" "Yes, thank you." "You may call me Francis. Francis Bonnefoy. And you?" "Arthur Kirkland, sir." Francis, seeing he had instantly fell for Arthur, remembered the project he was working on for a man. "Come with me...I'm meeting my sister at the airport, and then bringing her home. I would like to try...an expirament." Arthur was shocked. "Are you taking me off the streets?" "yes, I am..." "Don't be a wanker, I just met you!" "I just saved your life." No further discussion. After taking his sister home, Francis took Arthur to his house. It was no house. It was a mansion. they walked inside. "I'm home." He said happily. A dirty blonde man with a cowlick dressed in a suit walked down. "Sir! You're home! Who is this?" "Our fixer upper." The man got the idea. Francis smiled. "Alfred, could you give Arthur here a bath, please?" "Yes sir!" Francis went to his desk and took some notes. He went to the kitchen. "Ludwig, Feliciano, Yao?" they looked up from their game of poker. "I need you three to try your best to make a rather large dinner. I brought our fixer upper home." they nodded and got to work. Francis was always kind to his staff. They loved working for him for that reason. He was so nice. He was firm when he had to be, but other than that rare occasion he was usually calm and kind. only two members of the staff have seen him upset. Antonio, the gardener, who had walked in on him firing a man for terribly mistreating Elizabeta, the head maid, and then Gilbert, the 2and to head butler when Francis was crying harshly because his wife, Joan, had passed away from murder. He walked past the room which held a piano he hadn't played in years. But he heard music. He walked in, to see Roderich, the head butler playing. He stopped once he saw his boss. "Sir, I-" "It was beautiful. I just wanted to let you know." Francis chuckled and walked out. He went to see if Alfred and Arthur were done. They were, so Francis handed Arthur an old suit. "It may be a bit big, but I'm taking you out to find some that fit properly." he explained with a smile. Arthur thanked him as they headed to the car. They came back a bit later at 5:00 sharp. Dinner was always at 7:15. "Gilbert, please show Arthur to his room." as always, he said it with a smile. "Arthur. You make yourself at home and settle in. I'll just be making a phonecall." Francis went to his desk and picked up the phone. "Mr. Braginsky speaking." a thick, Russian accent. "I found our fixer upper! I found him, and I think he'll do grand..." "you think so? I am counting on seeing the progress." Francis hung up the phone and cheered. This was the one time he was truly confident. He never let his buisness parter down, but this time, Francis actually cared. This time, it wasn't taxes or mail. It was a lifetime experience. The staff had never seen him so happy. it was the first time mr. Braginsky had approved of a project. Elizabeta looked at him. "What happened, sir?" "ok, I need you to act for me. Act very solumn, and gather the staff in the meeting room. Act like I'm about to fire everyone, and then I will tell them the truth!" he whispered in her ear. "He actually approved!?" she hissed. Francis nodded. "I will be waiting." he smiled and went to the meeting room. The staff gathered inside. "Now...as you can tell, I have news." Francis stated. "MR. BRAGINSKY APPROVED!" the staff cheered. They were the ones to help him come up with the idea. They had dinner and then went to bed. The next morning, Arthur would be interviewed and whatnot.
Back in an old, abandoned factory...
A small group of men were sitting together. Alistair, Angus, Dylan, Jack, and William Kirkland. They were all a bit tough and a little reckless, but, these were the people Arthur called family. "Oi." William stated to the others. "Where's Arthur been?" Dylan sighed. "That's a good question." Jack put Angus down after trying to win a bet over who was stronger. "If anything, the police caught him." Alistair sighed. "We'll see him in the morning. Come on, let's get to bed. We're still alive and even if we're all grown now, I'm still raising you all just because I can. Now go to sleep." they went to bed. But about seeing Arthur in the morning, they weren't wrong. The next morning, a man in a suit came to their "home". That man was Arthur. Alistair looked up and called everyone over. "Hello, Alistair." Arthur said, smiling. "Arthur Kirkland, you had better explain yourself." Francis walked over. "He is staying with me for a while. He wanted to make sure you didn't worry about him." Arthur hugged his brothers. "Listen. I'll explain everything soon, just not now. I'll be back alright?" they all told him goodbye, and he was off. This was going to be a bit hard, but they would manage. His brothers were tough.
