Adopting the two children had to be the worst and best idea of their lives.

Small, shaggy haired Arthur Kirkland was a feisty child; know for picking fights with the neighborhood boys over and over again until he was black and blue.

It gave Matthew a headache just thinking about it.

Why?

He didn't know, but because Alfred had taken a liking to the child, Matthew had to agree ("Come on Matt, he needs us!" Alfred had said) knowing full well that if he didn't he be hated for life…and he'd never be able to eat pancakes.

Alfred was a vindictive hoser when he put his mind to it.

He cuddled Kumakichi, and signed the paperwork.

He had a lot of work to do.
