~Awkward Topics~

"Papa?" a small voice called. Francis turned from the kitchen counter and looked in the doorway. Matthew stood in the center of the entryway holding his white bear as Alfred approached behind his brother.

Francis gave a small smile and replied, "You two done playing outside?"

Alfred's gaze flipped between Francis and the counter as he said, "We saw you in the window and wanted to know what you are doing."

"Well, I'm making dinner," he explained.

"What are you making?" Alfred asked.

"Oh, just spaghetti," he answered.

"Can we help?" Matthew asked with a small smile gracing his lips.

"Well, I don't see why not. You two can help make the sauce," Francis proposed.

"Yay!" the boys rejoiced in unison as they ran to the counter.

Francis bent down and put his hands in front of the boys. "But, first you must wash your hands. You've been playing outside, and we don't want dirty hands touching what we eat, right?"

"Okay," they responded and raced to the bathroom to wash their hands.

The boys stood on the stool for the bathroom sink and washed their hands.

Once they came back to the kitchen, they climbed up the stool Francis had laid down for them to use to reach the counter.

"Alright," Francis started. "What I want you two to do, is simply squash these tomatoes in this pan. Be careful though."

The boys got started moving very slow. Canada mashed the tomatoes with his fork carefully. Alfred, on the other hand, was being rather rough with the tomatoes. This was beginning to cause a mess.

"N-no! Alfred, cheri you need to be more gentle!" Francis warned the boy gently, trying to save his kitchen from Alfred's innocence and strength.

Alfred nodded sweetly and began to try again, his mashing not improving in the slightest. Francis now decided it would be a good idea to get the boys away from the kitchen.

"H-How about you two go bother your father instead of helping me?" Francis suggested "Cooking is too boring for you two anyway, right?"

"Hmm..." The two boys thought about it for a moment "Okay!" And with that the two boys ran out of the kitchen and into the living room where Arthur was contently reading the newspaper and drinking a cup of tea.

"Hi Daddy!" Alfred yelled, running and jumping on the couch his father occupied, Matthew following closely behind.

Arthur simply sighed and responded, "I'll take it you two are done outside?"

"Yeah, we are. Whatcha reading?" Matthew asked innocently.

"The newspaper," Arthur stated. Both boys sat in silence watching their father. Finally Alfred asked, "Can we see?"

"Go for it," Arthur sighed handing the boys the newspaper. The boys cheered and took the paper as Arthur looked underneath the cushion grabbing a book from it's 'hiding place', as the boys had called it. Truth is he simply didn't want the boys destroying another book of his.

All three of them sat in silence except for the occasional question from Alfred asking, "Mattie, what's that word?" and Matthew responding.

Finally Alfred had asked Matt what a word meant on the back of the page, and it stumped both of them. Matthew turned to Arthur and tugged on his shirt asking, "Daddy, what is rape?".

At that Arthur spat his tea out of his mouth and into the air as he gasped for his breath. "Why in the world would you ask that?"

"It says that a girl was raped," Alfred explained, an innocent boring look on his face.

Arthur just stared at them, then took the newspaper to see the article. And of course, as the kids said, a girl was raped downtown off 24th street. He made a mental note to steer clear of there for a long while.

He looked over at the two boys, both sapphire and violet eyes watching him with question. He gulped down a lump in his throat and said, "Well, kids, rape is, uh... Rape is, umm..." Arthur sat trying to think of a simple way to explain this to two small 5 year old boys without marring their innocence. And so he began, "Well, rape is when someone does something to you against your will in an... inhumane way..." Arthur stopped himself, thinking about how he was going about this the wrong way. "Hey, Francis! Get out here please!"

"What is it mon lapin?" Francis asked walking out of the kitchen. He looked at the three of them on the couch, the two with curious looks, and Arthur seeming exasperated.

Arthur turned to the two and told them, "Kids, ask your papa here what you asked me."

Both boys turned to Francis and repeated together, "Papa, what's rape?"

Arthur mused at Francis' looking taken aback. Arthur handed the newspaper to Francis before he asked why they wanted to know. Once Francis regained himself and read the article over, he responded, "I don't think that really matters. You boys needn't worry about that so-"

"Just tell us what it means!" Alfred exclaimed, having his turn to look exasperated. "Why can't you tell us?"

"Alfred, that is extremely rude of you to-" Arthur began, before Matthew intervened.

"Alfie has a point... You guys don't really explain too much to us. You guys always say later, then 'later' never comes," Matthew said, his voice getting more quiet as the sentence went on, feeling as though he was overstepping a boundary.

Finally, moments later, Francis sighed and kneeled down looking the boys in the eyes. "Fine, I shall explain rape to you."

Arthur simply looked incredulously to his mate. What the hell does he think he's doing? Arthur was about to say something, but Francis beat him to it.

"Rape is something that is really scary, and is often done against someone's will," he began. Seeing as the boys still seemed confused, he thought of a different way to explain. "You two remember Ivan?"

"Yeah," they both answered. "Well, it's scary like him. Do you two ever feel uncomfortable around him?" He continued.

"Yeah," Matthew answered,

"All the time!" Alfred exclaimed.

"Well then, when you think rape, think of Mr. Ivan! Scary, uninviting, and you never want to be around it!" Francis finished off.

"Okay!" The boys confirmed together.

"Great! Now that that's settled, let us eat our dinner!" Francis shoveled the boys into the kitchen. After the family ate, the two boys were sent to bed and left their fathers to do...what they do.

"Come on mon cheri~" Francis purred while stroking his lover's thigh "What's so bad about doing this~?"

"W-we do it every night, you frog!" Arthur stuttered trying to ignore his growing...desire for the Frenchman.

"You say no, Arthur, but your blush is saying yes~" Francis murmured huskily into the Englishman's ear.

That seemed to break the Brit's stubbornness as he practically dragged the Frenchman so he was ontop of him.

"Fine, you git. Just stop teasing me!" Arthur hissed looking up at his lover. Francis just gave a sexy grin and was about to lean in until.

"Daddy? Papa?" Two voices called from the doorway to their bedroom. Francis sighed, knowing he had lost his night of pleasure.

"Yes boys?" Francis asked sitting up and turning towards them. Both boys stood in the doorway, both holding hands. Matthew's eyes held water, threatening to spill over as Alfred was creating visible shivers.

"W-we had a nightmare..." Matthew whimpered, trying not to cry.

"Can we stay with you?" Alfred finished. The two men looked at each other for a moment and then decided one night couldn't hurt.

"Sure." Arthur answered, as he and Francis made room for the boys. The two of them climbed into the giant bed in between their fathers and the four slept peacefully.
