semi-ponitless AN: Thank you all for totally like giving good reviews! and I'm happy (and surprised) that you all like this story!~ I would like to thank Cirque De Lune for that awesome cookie! It made my day (and my sweet tooth's day too! :D). Also to all who alerted this and faved this! Okay now to the point, I was running on the new story high so the updates are coming fast. Mind you I have notes up to chapter 5 and still kinda figuring out where the heck this is going (I know about the end but it's the middle part that killing me) also, school blahhh!! Since this is my graduating year I might not update as fast because of projects! Also the fourth chapter might come in a little late just a heads up. Since i have 6(...6!!) pictures to colour in and Christmas and work. So I will write it when I have so time or if I need to relax after art assignments that i have to write or that stupid English essay (need one more F***king page! why?!)

Anyway, you readers rock! and you make my low self-esteem more bearable! /semi-pointless AN

I think i'm done...Yeah I'm done, on with the chapter!

Allegro Comfort

He pulled away quickly, staring at me with widened red eyes. I bit my lips staring back, my heart thumping miles per second. I can't believe I actually did that. We stay like that staring at each other, a foot between our chests.

"What...the...hell..." Heard him say, tears welled in my eyes. Of course he probably was straight, he was twenty at least he would never go for a 17 year old stringy awkward boy.

"s-s-s-sorry" I stammered out, my throat clamped up in rejection and pain. I could barely get one word out. Before I could make myself look more like a fool I ran out of the forest swatting away leaves and branches, my feet colliding with the cobble stone harshly as I blindly ran away. I heard a 'wh' sound but I was too far too fast to make out what was said. I see our new slightly run down house that we now called home with it's reddish brick; running up the weather worn steps and opening the door at blinding speeds I ran up the stairs to my bedroom. Forgetting to take off my shoes. When I see my bed I jumped and scrambled under the covers. I wept softly holding my chest that seemed to be in such pain.

It made no sense at all, I barely knew the man. I only know his name, this takes a whole new perceptive on love thy neighbor, I thought bitterly. I felt the demons called low self-esteem and rejection clawed at the back of my mind.

'Your too shy, he wouldn't even think about it, he doesn't see you either, just like everyone else!' More tears flooded out as it bit and tore at me.

'I'm sure back in the city, your so called friends weren't exactly your friends. They forgot you. Just like your family does!' It mocked me with a cruel laugh. ' I'm sure they will eat super without you, again! Forgetting that your actually home!' It continued.

I felt the side weight down and peeking out of my comforter I stared out at the dark eyes of my polar bear who was looking over the edge of the bed at me. It struggled to get up on the bed then crawled under, trying to get in under the blankets. It soon forced itself under my arms as if to comfort me in his own way.

"Thanks, Kuma..." I said, my breath shaky and my nose blocked.

"Who?" It said softly.

"I'm Matthew" I said out of habit and hugged him closer. Putting my face in the warm soft fur, smelling the woody animal scent, I didn't feel alone anymore. He chased away those stupid, horrible voices and I drifted...off...peacefully.

I was woken up not too nicely by a heavy mass jumping on me.

"Matt!! Wake up it's food time!!" He said as I struggled to get my twin off of me.

"If you don't get up I will tickle you!!" he said close too my ear. I whined and struggled in a rather pathetic attempt. I was still half asleep! The Bastard! Can't he see I want to wallow?!

"Okay here I go!" Soon enough I felt strong hands tickle me harshly through the blankets.

"Nu Al I'm tired!" I whined moving this way and that. Then I hear Kumakichi growled harshly as Alfred mistook the animal for me.

"Huh?" Came his oblivious sound and pulled the cover to looked at the grumpy bear. I mumbled something and took the blanket away from him and then placed it over my face, wanting more sleep.

"But Dad said to bring you down to eat!" Alfred whined as he crawled off me and stood beside the bed shaking my tired body. I huffed and tuned my back to him.

"Mattie!!!" He tried again shaking my side, then without warning I had the covers thrown off and I was thrown over his shoulder.

"Ack! Alfred! Put me down! Put. Me. Down!!!" and said hitting his back and kicking my feet.

"Dad! Papa!! Help Al is being a Turd!" I called down the stairs to our parents.

"Alfred! You brat, put Mathew down! And don't you dare try to carry him down the stairs! Your going to fall!" My father, glared up the stairs with disapproving green eyes as his thick eyebrows were forced downwards in anger.

"Nah! We're fine! I'm the hero and hero's can carry princesses anywhere!" Alfred said taking a step down the stairs.

"Alfred! I'm not a princess you idiot!" I said clinging onto him, not wanting to fall at all down. It looked pretty far from where I was being unceremoniously carried.

"Mon Dieux, Alfred, Arthur is right for once!" Came my papa's worried voice just behind the stair case railing looking up with deep concerned eyes. Looked at him pleadingly I noticed he was wearing the apron. At least I would have a good meal to calm me down.

"For once?!" Dad looked at Papa, insulted. If not a little miffed.
Papa just smiled. When Alfred and I reached the last step they were in a full blown argument.

What great role models...I thought wryly then remembering that I was still on Alfred's shoulder, I struggle to get down, which I was gladly and gave him a good whack on the head.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" I seethed.

"....But your not sad anymore right?" Alfred said dumbly, hopefully with that idiot smile plastered on his face. I stared at him and sighed. He was right, so in his own little way he comforted me, like a loved one would.

"Thanks...I think" I muttered shaking my head and walked off to the kitchen.

My parents were still arguing. Alfred was just smiling from the doorway and not doing anything, as usual and I was getting nervous, like every other time my parents argued.

"Papa...Dad isn't it time to eat?" I muttered softly. Dad was too loud. Yelling profanities and swinging his arms left and right, hoping to making a violent contact of some sort.

"U-um the food is getting cold" I said a little louder. Luckily they both heard me. Papa swiveled his head holding both of Dad's fist so it wouldn't do harm.

"Why yes Mathieu!" Papa said dodging expertly the kick aimed at his side then he walked into the kitchen. Begrudgingly Dad did the same thing but his face softened as we all sat down and held our hands for prayer. The voices were wrong, my family knows I exist, and they love me.

Mon Dieux: My God

Tell me what you think! Crap I think I made Mattie a bit OOC. _

Excuse any Grammar please! I edited it all by myself, and I'm not the best editor.

Edit: why the hell is it that after the chapter has been posted that i notice all the mistakes?! Anyway, I corrected it a bit more.
