A/N: Welcome back my lovely readers! Anybody else ship America x Canada as hard as I do? I doubt it...
At lunch, Alfred sat with Yao and his siblings again. But he was lost in thought. He really wanted to know that boy's name.
Alfred looked around until he spotted him, sitting with and albino and a boy who was very load. "Hey Yao?" He asked his friend. "Who's that boy over there?" He pointed at the said boy.
"Oh, that's-" Yao started to say but was cut off by Soo.
"That's Matthew Williams. Captain of the hockey team. All the girls fawn over him, even though he'll never go out with them," Soo said. He was suddenly hit in the back of the head by Yao. "Ow! What was that about, Aniki?"
"That is for interrupting me," Yao said in frustration but Alfred wasn't really listening.
"Why won't he go out with any girls?" Alfred asked Soo.
"Because," Soo said, rubbing the back of his head. "He is gay."
Alfred's eyes widened and he looked over at Matthew. Matthew looked up and winked at him. Alfred blushed and looked back at his plate. However, Soo happened to see the blush.
"Oooooohh!" He yelled. "You blushed! You like him don't you?"
This made Alfred blush even harder, "N-no! I barley know him! How can I like a guy I barley know?"
"By having a crush," Leon stated.
They all turned to him just in time for them to see him pull out a small sparkler from his coat and light it. "Leon!" Yao shouted. "I thought I took all you firework things away?! Put that out!"
"Mhm, nope," Leon said and watched and he sparkler turned green and pink. "It's pretty, right? I made this one."
"Beautiful," Lin sad, patting his shoulder. They didn't realize the cafeteria had gone dead silent and a teacher was now approaching Leon. Leon looked up when the teacher was about two tables away and said, "Well, I must be off. See you guys at home." He then handed his sparkler to Lin and pulled smoke bombs from his jacket. He threw them on the ground and by the time the smoke cleared, Leon was gone.
"Wow...your brother is cool," Alfred said in amazement.
Yao rolled his eyes, "Yes that may be true, but he just got himself into huge trouble. And not just from me."
The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch and they all stood and left to get to class on time.
Alfred walked home with a smile on his face. There had been a sign that said football try-outs would be next week. All he had to do was get a physical and he would be good to go.
Alfred hummed to himself as he walked. He liked living close enough to school to walk. It was nice, quiet time to himself and his though-
He jumped in alarm when a horn blasted from behind him. He turned to see his dad's car in the street, obviously waiting for Alfred to get in. Alfred smiled and walked around the car, hoping in the passenger seat. "Hey dad, what are you doing here?"
"Well," Arthur said, starting to drive off. "I was going to pick you up like I said this morning, but you weren't in front of the school so I figured, knowing you, that you didn't want to take the bus and walked sense we live so close."
Alfred smiled out the window, "Oh how you know me. Oh, dad! By the way, I need to get a physical so I can try-out for the football team."
Arthur glanced at his son, "Okay sure. As long as you make dinner."
Matthew walked into first block the next day to see that Alfred was, yet again, already there and reading.
He walked over to Alfred and sat down like the day before. "Well hello," He said to Alfred.
Alfred jumped up again like the day before, "Stop doing that! I don't like being scared!"
Matthew smiled, "Sorry, sweetheart."
Alfred blushed. Why does he make me blush so easily?! Alfred thought in frustration. "Don't call me that, Matthew," He said quietly and looked back down at his book.
Matthew leaned forward in his seat, "So, you found out my name. Anything else?"
Alfred didn't need to look up for Matthew to know that he still had a blush on his face, "I found out that you're the captain of the hockey team and that you're gay. That's about it."
Matt's smile grew, "True and true. So are you? Gay, I mean."
Alfred looked up and his face felt suddenly like it was on fire, "I-I don't see how this is any of your business!"
Matthew laughed at this, "Calm down! Calm down! You don't have to answer! I was just curious, was all."
Alfred didn't say anything and went back to reading his book, trying ignore the fact that Matthew was staring at him.
"In your seats," Mr. Edelstein said the moment he walked in the door. Matthew stood to go sit next to Gilbert but Mr. Edelstein turned to him and pointed at the seat he had just stood from, "In your seat, Mr. Williams."
Matthew rolled his eyes and plopped back down. Alfred watched out of the corner of his eye and thought, I have to sit next to him all period?!
