F.A.C.E Family fanfiction
"Hey maman, can we talk to you?"
Marianne looked at her two twin 7 year old boys, who were both standing behind her as she was frosting her cake in the kitchen. The Frenchwomen set her frosting spatula and rubbed her hands on her apron. They both were dressed in their nicest clothing (of course, since Marianne picked out only the nicest clothes for her children), and both had their folders in their hands.
"Of course mes petits anges, what is it that you need to talk to me about?" Marianne asked. Alfred and Matthew looked at each other and nodded, then proceeded to sit on their kitchen table and folding their hands in a business like way. Marianne did the same, trying to keep a straight look on her face.
"Maman, we need to talk to you about something important." Alfred said in a serious voice.
"We're talking about bed time." Matthew said with an equally serious demeanor as his brother. The kind where they both just looked too adorable for their own good. The only difference from his brother was that his voice was quiet. "We need to change our bed time."
Marianne smirked at the twins as she leaned towards the boys. "What is it that you have in mind Mathieu?"
Matthew only handed her some papers taken from his folder. They all were drawn in sloppy blue and purple crayon that said, "Stuff on why we go to bed later."
Alfred took the lead. "Ya see Maman, you and Daddy keep on sayin' that we're getting biggers! Like, big people bigger! And since we're getting to be big people, then we should have a laters bed time."
"Stamistics show that big people go to bed later than babies Maman." Matthew said shyly. "And we're not babies anymore."
Marianne nodded her head, while looking at the crudely drawn pictures and attempted diagrams that tried to persuade her. She was defiantly amused, and knew that Arthur would be too when she showed this to him. "You're right about one thing mes jeunes enfants - you two are becoming young men."
Alfred beamed at this and talked his end. "So, you agree with us that we are being big boys. So, if we're big boys that means that we should have a later bed time!" The eldest of the twins stretched his arms with a huge grin on his face.
Marianne pursed her lips at this. "And, what time do you propose that you go to bed?"
Both Matthew and Alfred had blank stares. Alfred slid out of his seat and dragged Matthew outside to where they thought that their mother wouldn't hear them. "I don't know what to say Mattie. I didn't think we would actually get this far."
"Maybe we should get to go to bed at nine." Matthew suggested.
"Let's go to bed at ten! That way, we can watch He-Man when it plays really late!"
"That's really late, Alfred."
"Duh! Big people go to bed really late. Feliciano's brother, Lovino is a teenager and he goes to bed at 10!"
Matthew gasped. "That's awesome. Let's do it."
Both boys walked back into the kitchen where Marianne was waiting for them. "We want to go to bed at 10!" Alfred declared. "Take it or leave it!"
She chuckled at that. "I'll talk about it with your father when he gets home. Is that okay?" She received a nod from them. "Alright then. Now that we have established that, how about you two change and you can help me make dinner?"
Arthur chuckled as he went over the boy's work. "Well, they came prepared, I'll give them that."
Marianne smiled as she washed her dish. "It's quite adorable."
"I say we give it to them tonight. They'll fall asleep by 8:30 anyways." He said.
"They have eaten quite a bit of cookies."
"Which they shouldn't have had in the first place."
"Ah, but who was the one who let them have a bowl of Oreos after dinner?" She asked, and smirked when Arthur frowned.
"Oh, hush you."
"I love you too."
So, I found this in my oneshot folder and I haven't looked at this since 2014, damn. So I decided to clean it up and post it here as a little short story.
