ARTHUR'S NOTE: Sorry if this is a late update. TTwTT I had homework and was spending my time reading books. w But I tried to upload this on Saturday! But, it's like, 12 am on a Sunday. That's close, right? Oh well, hopefully I could make it next time!
Again. Today was seemed a bit off. Alfred was eating in silent, which wasn't the most unusual. Which was unusual was that after breakfast he just sat on the couch and watching the T.V. instead of playing like he would usually do. Sitting there in silent, watching Blue's Clues. Just by the looks of it seemed off.
Walking into the living room, Francis and Arthur looked to see how their sons were doing. Matthew was trying to show his brother to come play with him. Only to receive no response. He just stared blankly at the screen. Matthew looked at his parents with teary eyes. Alfred never we skipped a chance to play with his brother. The two were close.
"Alfred, darling," Arthur called out. No response. Strange. He tried it again, only louder this time. "Alfred!"
Alfred jumped when he heard his name called. Turning he looked at his parents and smiled. "What is it, daddy?"
Now this was the Alfred they knew. However, this did not take the wordiness away from Arthur.
Francis walked over and ruffled Alfred's hair. "Daydreaming again, son?" He asked, getting a small nod in reply. "You're starting to make me wonder what you're always thinking about."
Walking over, Arthur sat next to Alfred. Then placing the young boy onto his lap.
Francis had done the same, only with Matthew.
"You're starting to get me worried, Alfred," Arthur said. As Alfred looked up, he saw his father's face was worried and somewhat sad. "If there is anything wrong, be sure to tell your father and I. We'll always be there for you, Alfred."
Did he really made his parents upset? Alfred didn't mean to. "I'm sorry, daddy," Alfred replied, looking down at his lap. "I didn't mean to make you worry. I'm fine, really."
"Don't be sadden, son." Francis ruffled Alfred's hair once more. Having Matthew join in with patting his brother on the shoulder. "I guess we got a little carried away."
"Why don't you go play with your brother?" Arthur suggested, placing Alfred down on the floor. "Your father and I have to make some phone calls. Also, we weren't the only ones who were worried."
"I'm sorry, Mattie!" Alfred leaned in and kissed his brother on the cheek. "Lets go play!"
Francis watched as Alfred and Matthew ran off to play. Looking over, he saw his loving husband already at the phone making his call. Walking over, he place his arms around Arthur's waist, pulling him into an embrace. Nuzzling in his neck. "You don't have to worry so much," Francis purred. "If there was something wrong, I'm sure Alfred would tell us."
"You're right," Arthur replied. "I guess I'm just being a little paranoid."
"Perhaps you're stressed out with all the playing we're doing. Seeing as how the twins will only turn ten once." Francis began to kiss Arthur lovingly on his neck. In response Arthur tilted his head to give Francis better access. "I know a great way to help you relax~"
Arthur's face was in a deep flush. While Francis has eyes filled with lust. Before anything could be said, the line picked up.
"Hello?" Said the voice.
Hesitantly, Arthur place the phone next to his ear. Looking at Francis all in the process. "Yeah, Yao," he began to say after a pause. "You wouldn't mind watching Alfred and Matthew for the evening, right? There's something that Francis and I need to take care of."
"You guys are gross!" Yao responded. "But, I'll be right over to pick them up."
Three days has passed. In each of those nights, Tony would always visit Alfred. Doing something same as the last. Alfred didn't complain, though. In fact, he liked doing these kinds of things with Tony. Neither did Tony nor Alfred wanted this to stop.
Alfred currently laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. His mind filled with thoughts of the nights he spent with. Making his face flush with just the thought of it. But also, it made him smile. He caress the crystal that Tony given him. Everything he looked at the crystal, it would always bring up Tony. Even if he felt it, it was like Tony was there with him.
"Alfred!" Francis shouted from outside. "Hurry up and come down! We wouldn't want to keep the others waiting!"
"I'm coming!" Alfred jumped off his bed, raced downstairs and out the front door. Jumping in Francis' arms. Happily laughing as he did so.
"Hehe, easy now, son." Francis carried the boy and place him into the car. Making sure he was bulked in and safe. Already in and ready was Arthur and Matthew. After he locked the door, Francis came back and drove them to the park. Only this time he didn't take a short cut, due to Arthur's nagging, making them arrive on time.
"See! I told you we would make it if we didn't take any of your bloody short cuts!" Arthur said.
"I keep telling you the short cuts would have been faster!" Francis whined.
"Whatever, lets just go." Arthur helped Matthew out of the car while Francis help Alfred.
"I can't wait to see everyone!" Alfred said happily, as he held onto Francis' hand. "I'm going to tell them all the fun things I did with Tony! We did so much fun things together!"
Chuckling, Francis replied. "I bet you did."
In the usual spot, the others were currently waiting for them. Seeing as how they were always the last to arrive.
"You guys are sure early today," Gilbert said. "That's a first." He placed Ludwig down, who was sitting on his lap, and waved at the children. "Why don't you kids go off and play now."
Kiku, Yong and Emil didn't wait to be told, quickly ran toward the twins. The others followed behind. All still being in sight of the guardians, but out of range in hearing.
"So, how have you and Tony been doing, Alfred?" Yong asked excitedly.
"Tony?" Lovino asked in a confused tone.
"That's right!" Alfred stood up, placing one hands on his hips and the other pointing at both Lovino and Ludwig. "A few days ago. I met a real life alien! He was a small gray creature with big red eyes and no mouth! His name is Tony and he's my bestest friend!"
Both Lovino and Ludwig looked at Alfred. Turning to each other they wondered if he was really being serious,
"Liar!" Lovino yelled.
"I'm not lying!" Alfred yelled back. "I really did meet an alien! Honest!"
"If you meet an alien. Then where is your proof?" Ludwig asked.
"Proof?" Standing there, Alfred froze in silence. Kiku and Yong believed Alfred without any proof.
"Do you think he even has any?" Kaoru asked the others.
"I don't think so," Mei replied.
"See! I told you!" Lovino shouted. "He was just lying! He didn't see any aliens!"
Alfred felt tears begin to appear in the brim of his eyes. He wanted to cry. Tony was real! Everything that had happened between the two really did happened? The picture Tony loved that Alfred had drew. Also the crystal that he treasured! It was all real! It was al-
Wait... Of course! The crystal! He did have proof!
"I so do have proof!" Alfred reached into his shirt and pulled out the crystal necklace. "See!"
All of the kid's eyes widen as they saw the shinning crystal. It looked so beautiful. None of them had ever seen anything like it before.
"W-Where did you get that, Alfie?" Matthew asked, amazed.
"I got it from Tony, of course!" Alfred smirked as he saw the look upon Ludwig's and Lovino's face. He showed them.
"What do you and Tony do?" Ludwig asked, now looking at Alfred.
"I'm glad you asked!" Alfred began. "Tony and I have been doing all sorts of stuff. I get to help Tony with his research on the human race! Which will not lead to an invasion. At first, I got him a book because I thought it would have helped him with his research and it did! After that Tony went and made me get naked then started to touch me in weird places. But don't worry, he needed to do this for research. Since it's a lot easier to work on a live subject. It was weird at first, but I was brave!"
Almost all of the children looked so fascinated in Alfred's story. All but one. Ludwig. This didn't seem like an alien or fascinating, but that didn't stop the the kids from enjoying the story. It didn't seem right. Ludwig stood and turned to where his brother and the other grown ups were.
"Where are you going?" Alfred asked.
Ludwig turned to him slightly, being silent for a moment before speaking. "I want to get a snack from my big brother."
"Okay, but you'll be missing the good parts!" Alfred said.
"Who cares," Lovino butted in. "Just continue."
"Alright! So then there was this weird machine..."
Ludwig walked over to his brother, raising his arms like when he wanted to be placed on his lap. Which Gilbert did.
"Hey bro, what's wrong? Why aren't you playing with the other kids?" Gilbert asked. By the looks of it, Alfred seemed to be telling the kids a story. Which they looked really into.
"Big brother..." Ludwig began, staring at the ground. "If someone tells you to get naked, we're not suppose to, right?"
"Yes," Gilbert quickly replied, seeming a bit worried. "Why do you ask? Is there something wrong?"
Ignoring the question, Ludwig continued. "If you do get naked and the person starts to touch you... In weird places, we're suppose to tell someone, right?"
Now this was starting to worry Gilbert even more. Even the other guardians grew some concerns. "Yes, Ludwig," Gilbert replied. "Now tell me, is there someone touching you?"
"Did someone try to get you do these kinds of things?" Mathias asked.
"Are you alright, Ludwig?" Yao also asked. "Is anything bad happening to you?"
Ludwig looked up to see all the worried looks, but he shook his head. "No, none of this happened to me," he replied.
All the guardians sighed in relief.
"That's good," Elizabeta said. "I was afraid something happened to him."
"It's not me, but I asked because Alfred said someone was doing that to him," Ludwig said. "They make him get naked and touch him in weird places."
Upon hearing this news, both Francis and Arthur's eyes widen. "W-What!?" They both said simultaneously.
"It's true," Ludwig continued. "Alfred said so himself."
Both Francis and Alfred ran toward to the other children while the other guardians followed behind them.
Once the guardians where with the children, it seemed like Alfred was still in the middle of his story.
"I asked Tony if we're going to be doing something different and he said we will! Right now he's just preparing me for-"
Alfred was quickly cut off by Francis picking him up, with Arthur next to him. Both parents have seriously worried looks upon them.
Arthur took Alfred from his arms and held him close, looking at Francis as they both had dead serious looks in their eyes. Causing not only Alfred but the other kids to wonder what was wrong.
"Alfred..." Arthur said sternly. "What have you been telling these kids about?"
"I was telling them about Tony!" Alfred replied. "And all of the fun things we were doing together!"
"Just what kind of fun things?" Lukas butted in.
"Well..." Alfred was silent for a moment. He had no problem with telling the kids this but not really his parents and the other adults.
"He was just telling us about the things they do!" Yong went and said.
"Like how Tony does experiments on Alfred by making him get naked and lay on the table," Lovino interrupted.
"Then Tony starts using these weird things," Mei also said.
"But don't worry!" Feliciano said. "Alfred said all this was for research!"
The guardians looked shocked at the kids. All this, was happening to a little boy? And they all said it so calmly as well. They all needed a lecture about this when they went home.
"We're leaving," Francis broke the silence.
"But we just got here, papa!" Alfred whined. "Why are we leaving? What's wrong? Daddy? Papa?"
"Did something bad happened to Alfred, daddy?" Emil asked as he grabbed onto Lukas' leg.
Lukas bent down and picked up his son and held him close. Being glad nothing bad happened to his dear son. "We'll talk about it when we get home," Mathias replied. "Francis and Arthur have to go home now."
None of the kids understood what was going on.
Ludwig looked as all the kids where now heading back to their cars. "Did I do something wrong?" Ludwig asked his brother, having slight worry if he did do something bad. All of his friends were being taken away and he didn't understand why.
"No, you didn't," Gilbert replied. "You did. A good job on telling us. Something bad was happening to Alfred and you told us. Don't think that you had done something bad."
At home, Francis and Arthur were with Alfred in his room. Looking at him as he sat on his bed, looking down at his lap. Matthew sat on his own bed and looked at the three. They were now going to have a talking with this 'Tony' character.
"Alfred," Francis began. "The kids were saying that you told them 'Tony' made you get naked and started to touch you, is this true?"
After a moment of silence, Alfred nodded.
"Where did he touch you?" Arthur asked?
"Right here," Alfred said as he pointed to his member. Then slowly motioning toward his bottom. "And right here." Then toward his nipple. "He also touched me right here, too."
This was enough to start to make Arthur have tears to begin to run down his cheek. He went and embraced Francis, placing his face on his shoulder.
"How long has this been going on?" Francis asked, in a serious tone now.
"For awhile..." Alfred replied, wondering why they seemed so worried. "But Tony said he was doing it for an experiment!"
"That doesn't matter, Alfred!" Francis yelled. "Whoever this Tony is, you are not allowed to see him or even talk about him! Do you understand!?"
"NO!" Alfred shouted. "Tony is my best friend! I want to see him! Daddy!?"
However, Arthur was busy sobbing onto Francis shoulder. "Why," he sobbed. "Why did it have to be my son? How could I not see this? My poor, poor boy." Francis had to comfort Arthur to get him to stop crying. He was worried about something happening to Alfred before, but Francis didn't think anything of it before.
Later that night, once all the yelling and crying ended, the twins were tucked into bed. Arthur had a phone call from Lukas suggesting that they should take Alfred to therapy to which they agree. Much to Alfred's protest to it. Lukas had a friend who was a therapist. Matthew had already fallen asleep even after all that had happened today. Leaving Alfred to be here all alone, despite Matthew being there. This feeling of being all alone. He hated this feeling.
Alfred didn't want leave Tony. How did they even found out about it? Alfred made sure not to tell them about it. He didn't know. All that he wanted was to see Tony again. Even if his parents said for him not to.
He looked out the window, seeing the night sky to help him calm down. Only place where he can find his peace at mind. Slowly, Alfred feel asleep.
The bright light. The cold breeze. Alfred quickly shot up and called out. "Tony!" He cried. "Tony!"
Coming through the same door, Tony seemed a bit confused as to why Alfred was suddenly yelling out. "What is it, Alfred?" Tony asked. Tears began to run down Alfred cheeks. Tony caressed the young boy's face, wiping the tears away from his cheek. Now, seeming more worried. "Alfred, tell me what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"M-M-My p-parents..." Alfred tried to say through his sobs. "D-Don't want me to s-s-see you anymore!"
'They found out?' Tony thought. "Does... This mean you're not going to see me again?" Tony asked. "I... I understand if you don't want to see me anymore." Walking over to the computer, pausing for a moment before looking over at Alfred. "I can take you home if you want... I'll miss you..."
"WAIT!"
Tony looked up at Alfred's outburst.
He wiped his teary eyes. Sniffling a bit, Alfred looked straight at Tony with a serious look in his eyes. "Tony," he began. "I don't care... I don't care what my parents say! Just because they said I can't see you doesn't mean I should listen! It won't change anything! I... I... I love you, Tony." Alfred slowly walked toward Tony, wrapping his arms around the alien. "No matter what, don't leave me. Please..."
Tony was shocked. Never in his time has a human been this affectionate to him before. But slowly, Tony returned the hug. "I won't leave you," Tony replied. Leaving Alfred. How foolish was he for trying to do something like that. Seeing as how Alfred wanted to stay with him just as much was proof enough.
"I won't let anything separate us, Alfred."
