~enjoy~

Alfred didn't know what was wrong with his little brother. Why was Matthew working himself to the point of exhaustion, even the doctor told Alfred to take some of the work load so then Matthew could rest and regain his strength. He didn't know what to do. He knew that he wasn't that smart and needed to study and practice all the time. But at the same time he knew that he needed to help his little brother that was proven for a fact as he looked at the records of the injuries his brother had from being beaten. That and the new need for cell phones. He asked the receptionist for a piece of paper and pen. She nodded and handed him an old-looking clipboard along with a pencil, just asking that he return the bored and pencil when he was done. He nodded in reply and sat down thinking of what groceries c weekly basis. He wrote down the average amount and then he looked off to the side where there were some magazines and cell phone rates, he smiled as he grabbed a few and wrote down some of the things for two of them. He worked for a while and sighed as his brain started to hurt. too much thinking. There was a reason why Matthew helped him so much. He looked down at the numbers and sighed. He needed a job.

"am i insane?"

Ivan looked into the tearing violet eyes, and felt something the he hadn't known for a long time, his heart breaking. He sighed, he knew he had to lie, but he worried of how that would affect the boys mental state. He wanted desperately to be able to show who he was without worrying about scaring the poor boy. Matthew shivered and pulled the blanket closer to his chest as Ivan stared at him with his reddish violet eyes. So similar to his own, just for Matthew his had specks of blue in them.

Ivan placed his hand onto Matthew shoulder in a comforting way, "neyt, you are just…what is word…" he asked himself as he quickly came up with an answer, "you are just traumatized and tired da~. Once your home and rested you will be better." He lied, as long as that infuriating angel was around they wouldn't stop…never would give in to the other.

"t-thank you." Matthew said as he nodded and shivered without Ivan noticing. Ivan smiled and stood up pulling Matthew up with him

"I have question?"

"what is it?"

"why is working so important to you?"

Matthew looked down as memories poured into his mind. sickness...drugs...owe...sister...death...pain... he remembered the bad men coming and hurting his father and mother and them turning to Alfred before he came up blank. Ivan was watching him.

"is difficult?"

Mathew nodded as he felt a tear escape from his eye to race down his pale cheek. he quickly wiped it way as Ivan stood up pulling him along. with a silent understanding of the cool air they both walked inside, back to Matthews room where he found that someone had been in his room with clean sheets and clothes.

He was about to ask Ivan if he would turn around for a moment when Ivan interrupted him.

"I vill step outside, call me when your done." he ruffled Matthews hair just before leaving Matthew alone in the room. As Matthew dropped the blanket he started to wonder about where his brother had gone to. just as he pulled his shirt down he got the sensation of flying and cool air flowing through his hair. Startled Matthew looked at the windows to see if they were open. they weren't. scared Matthew called out quietly, "i-iv-ivan!" just as the name left the Canadians lips he saw a shadow.

"wha-" he gasped as he turned to see it better. a simple shadow hung there, unmoving, as if mocking him. Matthew lifted his left up as if to wave and felt as if his heart skipped a beat when the shadow raised its right hand. Matthew screamed out as he saw the hand leaving the wall and headed towards him, he stepped back and tripped on the discarded blanket. he fell backwards and could feel the burning sensation of the icy hand as it grabbed his neck and squeezed. Matthew grabbed it trying to pull it off just as the other ran in with shocked expressions on their faces.

"nein!" Gilbert yelled as he ran towards the base of the shadows while Alfred stared at the scene unfolding before him in fear.

"matvey!" Ivan yelled as he summoned his pipe and raised it as he leaped at the arm that was choking his sweet little toy. Ivan had to force himself to not smile as he heard the sickening crunch of bone when he brought the metal pipe down with all his strength.

"Mattie!" Alfred then yelled, having collected himself, and rushed forward to hug his brother and shield him from the shadow creature. "stay the fuck away from my bro!"

Matthew didn't say anything as he gasped and started to cry. he didn't want to show the others his tears, so he burrowed into his brothers chest. Alfred wrapped his arms around his brother hugged him tightly. He would protect his brother no matter what!

"Alfred, get Matthew out of here now!" Gilbert yelled as the shadow attacked him, even Ivan looked back at the two blonde and nodded as he raised his pipe once more and went to help the angel.

Alfred stood up keeping his brother close to his side and ran pulling Matthew behind him. "come on Mattie!"

"whats happening?" Matthew said as the two of them ran for the front doors, it was then that they realized that there was no one there. As they both turned a corner they saw written on the wall 'im coming for you ..."
