Arthur groaned as he opened his tired eyes. Squinting his bloodshot eyes from the light, he looked around and he saw he was tied to a chair and seemed to be in some office of sorts. Trying to think back, he cursed as he remembered what happened.
'No doubt it's that damn Russian!' he thought angrily, struggling against his bindings. He froze when he heard the door open from behind him before closing softly. Arthur grew increasingly uncomfortable in the pressing silence that the other created from lack of speech.
"Let me guess, it's Ivan. Am I right?" he sneered, refusing to show weakness. The man said nothing and instead sat across from Arthur at his desk. Arthur gasped when he saw him.
"Alfred?" he asked in disbelief.
The man nearly sighed, shaking his head, "No, I'm Matthew, his twin brother. And you have a lot of explaining to do."
The British man stared before sighing in relief, glad it wasn't the Russian that had kidnapped him. But then as he thought about it he got confused, 'why the hell would Alfred's twin knock me out and kidnap me?'
Matthew raised an eyebrow at the silence.
"Well? Are you going to say anything?"
"Ah! Sorry lad, I was just wondering why you thought you had to knock me out and kidnap me then tie me to this chair."
"Well because I'm not very liked and couldn't risk someone overhearing that I had a twin brother, I doubted you would go with some random guy because he told you to trust him and lastly, if I think you are a threat to my brother I'll have to get rid of you."
Arthur paled at the last part of the explanation, unsure of how to respond to that.
"G-get rid of me?"
"Yeah, like knock you out again and move you to another city or state…or country, I mean Canada is really close by and it's a nice place to live in. Of course I would bring you back after making sure there would be no way you can contact Alfred so don't worry."
Arthur let out a sigh in relief when he didn't hear anything about his death in the explanation. Matthew noticed this and gasped.
"Did you think I was going to kill you?!"
"Well it's just the way you worded it and well…yes I thought that was the plan."
"Regardless of what you may think, I am still a man of the law, and would never stoop to killing someone. Even if I don't like the answers you give me now, I wouldn't kill you, I mean who does that?"
Arthur's mind quickly went to a certain Russian while he muttered, "I could think of someone."
Matthew sighed as he silently agreed with the comment while he pulled out a few files. He placed the first one on the desk and opened it, revealing to Arthur a picture of Ivan. "So I'm guessing you heard of this guy?"
"Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly I have yet to hear anything good about the git."
"Ivan Braginski, 27 years old and a pretty dangerous guy. He seems to be infatuated with my brother and you do know what will happen if Ivan finds out about you and Alfred?"
"He took it well, Alfred already told him."
Matthew raised an eyebrow of disbelief. Rummaging around in the file, he procured a photo and held it close to the Englishman's face. The picture was of a man, or what used to be a man, covered in bruises and blood, some joints at odd angles. Despite being more used to this kind of thing than most, thanks to his line of work, Arthur still felt a pang of queasiness.
"See him? Ivan did that to him because the guy didn't pick up his phone. And even though he told Ivan he couldn't because his wife was in the E.R. after a particularly terrible wreck, all Ivan did was beat him to the point where he would join her, on a bed beside her in the hospital. This is the Ivan we're talking about and he would not take that kind of news well."
Arthur glared as this. "Are you saying my Alfred lied to me?"
Matthew glared as well, not backing down to the other male. "Yes I am, it seems that you were lied to."
The British man said nothing, refusing to believe the other would lie to him. The Canadian whistled a sigh and swiftly moved behind his captive to release his bonds.
The Canadian then pointed to the door, silently telling the other to leave, "don't believe but the only reason I'm letting you go is because you really seem to like Alfred. Now don't delude yourself into thinking that I have no problem with you just because I'm letting you go. I'll be keeping an eye out, and any sign of trouble I hear because of you, you had better watch out, and prepare to completely lose your old life."
Arthur did not reply as he rubbed his raw wrists and made his way to the door. Though before he left he turned to the other.
"I might not be some crazy mafia boss but I get pretty jealous and protective as well. I might not know what I'm truly going up against but I'll be damned if I let my poppet just taken from my grasp like that. "
With that being said the British man left, before the Canadian could even make a retort. Matthew stared at the door before giggling slightly. "Al was right. He does have a pretty cute British accent. Who knows maybe this one is the one…"
Ivan smiled as he lovingly looked over his picture of Alfred and himself. It was the picture they took at the beach for their one month anniversary. Sighing happily, he placed the picture back on his bedside table. Lying back on the large bed, he giggled at the thought of his Alfred in a wedding dress.
His daydream was however ruined by the soft knocking. Getting up to a sitting position he told the other to enter. Toris nervously fidgeted with the bandages on his hands as he looked at the terrifying Russian.
"T-there is some bad n-news ."
Ivan gave a small glare, but never lost his smile. "Now what seems to be the problem?"
Taking a deep breath, Toris's gaze fell to the ground. "We think there is a leak, a spy or detective. We are not sure exactly who or how but it seems that Frenchman that managed to get away was a cop."
Ivan gave a small laugh, though his annoyance was quite easy to see.
"Well then you all will just have to find the rat and bring him to me, da? If you all fail me then the consequences will be very severe. Now Toris go deliver the message to everyone else."
The Lithuanian man quickly nodded as he bowed goodbye and ran down to tell everyone. The rat would have to be executed or they would take the rat's place.
Alfred pouted as he messed with his straw. Arthur was late for their lunch date. Matthew saw the slight sadness in the annoyed eyes as Alfred let out another sigh.
"Calm down Al, maybe he's running late?"
"Thirty minutes late? He didn't even give me a heads up."
Matthew gave a small sigh as he saw Alfred pull out his phone once more. Alfred, seeing no new messages was about to put up his phone until it rang. Staring at it in disbelief he looked at Matthew for help. Matthew gave a small smile, almost laughing. "Pick it up!" he chuckled.
Alfred nodded as he stumbled with his phone for a bit before picking up.
"Hello?"
"Poppet, I'm so sorry for being so late I could give you a million excuses but that doesn't change the fact I disappointed you. Would you forgive me? I'm on my way right now."
Alfred felt himself smile, "dude I was pissed but now I can't stay mad, just whatever come now and I better hear at least one excuse out of the million."
Hearing laughter on the other end Alfred also let out a small laugh. Saying their goodbyes, Alfred hung up, his mood now instantly better. Matthew smiled at this, happy to see his brother grinning and smiling without a care in the world once more.
"So I'm guessing he has a reason?"
"Yup, dude said he'll explain when he's here. He also gave me this totally cute and mushy apology; man, Matt, I wish you could have heard it. He was so sappy and cute and his accent made it like fifty times better!"
The Canadian laughed at his brother's bright expression as he talked about Arthur.
The door soon opened and a messy looking Arthur with a rose ran in. Alfred saw him and grinned as he ran up to the other man, pulling him into a hug. Arthur smiled as he returned the embrace before pulling away to hand him the rose.
"I had a bouquet but the other flowers got destroyed by my excuse."
Alfred laughed as he smelled the single rose, and smiled as he gave Arthur a small peck to the cheeks.
"Explain at the table, come on a surprise is waiting for you!"
Arthur smiled as he let himself be led through the restaurant and gasped when he saw Matthew.
"It's you again!"
Matthew smiled as he gave a small wave, "oh it seems we meet again, thanks again for taking care of those punks for me."
Both Arthur and Alfred gave a confused look at this. Arthur however was able to catch on before Alfred could see through the lie.
"That's no problem lad, it is my job. Well what are you doing here?"
Before Matthew could answer Alfred looked at the British man in surprise.
"You saved Mattie from like thugs?!"
Matthew gave a small laugh, "yes Alfred he did, he was like a real hero."
Alfred looked at Matthew before he pulled Arthur into a deep kiss. Arthur blinked in surprise but quickly kissed back, taking the lead. Nipping on Alfred's bottom lip to ask for an entrance, he mentally smirked as the entrance was quickly given. Deeper into the kiss, Alfred let out a small moan, Arthur slowly began to trail his hands downward when suddenly a loud cough was given.
The two pulled away both red in the face. Matthew looked at the two before sighing, "let's just hurry and order our food then you two can go do whatever you want when I'm not in the same room, eh?"
Alfred and Arthur both nodded, looking at the other before smiling. They immediately sat down and ordered.
Alfred turned to Arthur, curious.
"So why were you so late?" he asked the British man.
Arthur gave an annoyed expression at the recollection of the memory.
"Well there was this wanker who was harassing some poor old lady, so I tried to catch him and we tussled around for a bit. He saw the roses I put down before I went up to him, stepped all over them just to spite me and that's how the roses got destroyed, and in the end the bloody fool got away."
Alfred sighed knowing there was no way he could be angry over the other for being late when he was helping the elderly.
"Well it's all cool then dude, I mean you had a good reason so I'm not mad."
Arthur gave a relieved expression, making the Canadian give a small laugh. Arthur and Alfred both looked at Matthew in confusion.
"What's so funny dude?"
"How you two seem to be so perfect for each other."
Alfred turned a bright red at this comment. Arthur merely smiled, pulling Alfred closer to him. He gave the other a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh well I already knew that."
Alfred gave the other a playfully push away, "whatever old man."
Arthur glared at the jab at his age, making the twins laugh.
As they were eating and talking about nothing important in general, Alfred smiled as he felt Arthur's hand gently grab his own under the table. Linking their hands, Alfred leaned closer to Arthur, content.
This warm feeling, he never got this feeling with Ivan. He looked at Arthur, smiling and conversing with Matthew. Arthur felt eyes on him and looked over to see Alfred staring at him. Giving a smile he placed a loving kiss on his forehead.
"Poppet, are you ok?"
Alfred blushed, but smiled happily nonetheless. Giving the other a quick peck, he grinned seeing Arthur's face turn red again as well.
"I've never been better."
Alfred gave a large grin to Matthew, who smiled back in return. He was sure this was the right decision. This warmth and happiness is what he craved and wanted. And Arthur was the only one who could give those things to him, he was sure of that.
Alfred and Arthur waved goodbye as they saw Matthew off. Once the car was no longer in sight Arthur sighed.
"Well poppet my lunch break will be over soon so I should get going, since I am walking."
Alfred was about to offer to go walk the other when his phone rang. With an annoyed grumble, he looked at the caller I.D. to see it was Ivan. He looked at his phone before looking at Arthur. His choice made, he pocketed his phone, ignoring the call.
"Hey dude, I'll walk you back."
Arthur raised an eyebrow at this, "well that's wonderful but aren't you going to pick up your phone?"
Alfred grabbed the other's hand again, smiling happily.
"Nah it's ok, it wasn't anyone important."
Ivan glared when his phone call was ignored. It was unlike Alfred to ignore his phone calls. After the third unanswered call he threw his phone against the wall, breaking it. Getting up, he fixed his scarf and hid his trusty pipe underneath his jacket.
"Toris quickly grab the car, we are going out."
Toris without question did as he was told, soon the two were both in the car, and the Lithuanian awaited further orders. Ivan looked at the ring on his own hand before giving another angry growl, remembering how Alfred was ignoring him.
"Drive all over town, look for Alfred."
Toris nodded as he began driving, knowing something had happened.
Alfred kissed Arthur goodbye before walking off, waving bye. As he was walking down the street he pulled out his phone. Looking at the three missed calls he sighed, knowing the Russian was most likely furious.
As he was nearing his apartment he saw a familiar limo pull up and an angry Ivan step out. He gave an internal curse and sigh before looking at the Russian, a large grin in place.
"Hey Ivan, what are you doing here dude?"
"You are ignoring me, da?"
"What? No way dude why would you say that?"
Ivan's glare seemed to harshen "You did not pick up your phone."
"Oh well it was on silent-"
Alfred was cut off by an angry curse in Russian.
"Do not lie to me, why is there any reason for your phone to be on silent? You are not at church and since when do you ever turn your phone on silent when you are working? So why it is on silent?"
Alfred looked at the angry Russian, quickly digging his mind for an excuse when suddenly he had an idea. Giving the best puppy dog eyes he could he looked at the other.
"I'm sorry Ivan it's just I didn't want to talk to you yet. I mean I'm still thinking about the whole marriage and I wanted to make the decision on my own. And I thought if I kept talking to you that it would affect my choice."
Ivan's glare softened at Alfred's expression. With a sigh he smiled once more.
"I apologize Fredka, I seemed to have gotten to angry. You will forgive me da?"
Alfred sighed before smiling, "I forgive you, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have ignored you completely."
Ivan smiled as he pulled his American lover into a deep kiss, not noticing the other's discomfort. Pulling away he gave a childish giggle.
"My dear lapushka, I love you. So forgive me for being paranoid."
Alfred gave a nervous smile, looking away.
"Love ya too, and what are you so paranoid about?"
Ivan thought Alfred was looking away because the other was embarrassed and found that adorable.
"Why someone trying to steal you away from me."
Alfred felt himself pale, laughing it off he gave a fake smile.
"That would never happen Ivan, don't be so paranoid."
Ivan smiled as he pulled the other into a hug; pulling away he gave the other a small kiss to the lips.
"You are right, I trust you would never try and cheat on me. Other men I however do not trust so if one ever tries anything on you, you will tell me da?"
"Yeah ok, but hypothetically what would you do to him? I mean if some guy hit on me."
"Well simple, I would beat him until he begs for death."
Alfred froze, before giving a forced laughter. "Yeah…right…"
Ivan saw Toris call him over, after going over to see what was wrong he sighed, going back over to Alfred he gave the other another quick kiss.
"Well I must be going laupshka, goodbye!"
"Right…bye," Alfred said as he saw Ivan get back in his car before being driven off. Once the car was out of sight he cursed loudly.
"Fuck my life so much!"
