APHAPHAPHAPH

Alfred was sitting in his car, in a large parking lot. He was about to start all over again with school. He was close to finishing the first year, before getting shipped to Germany.

Being forced to do another man's bidding for the remaining months, plus some, reduced his muscle mass quite a bit. He wasn't sure if he could play football for the scholarship.

But, he wanted to become a Policeman more than ever to prevent people from being shipped and sold as slaves across seas. He wasn't sure how he would do that, but he would do anything to help.

He felt bad, moving out of his parent's place after returning two weeks ago, but he had to go back to school.

He was a little worried about living with Kiku again. Kiku has been trying to trick him into saying something about what happened while he was gone. Plus, Alfred's back was scarred from abuse. He would have to hide his back from Kiku at least until this school year is over, which would be hard to do. Especially if he's planning on playing football throughout the year.

He sighed and placed his forehead against the steering wheel. 'This school year is going to be hell. I have one friend who won't stop trying to squeeze answers out of me, and another who won't talk to me. Would it be better to live with Arthur instead, then?'

Arthur stood at the door with his mouth stuck open and his eyes wide open. "C-Come in, you two." He stood aside to let Alfred and Kiku walk into his home. "I'll um... I'll get some tea. 'Just make yourselves at home."

He rushed towards the kitchen while Kiku and Alfred gently sat down on his couch. Arthur set down two cups filled with tea (Alfred doesn't know what kind of tea, nor does he care) in front of them.

Alfred sighed, and reached over, before stopping himself. Arthur's bushy eyebrows raised a little.

'I don't have to drink this.' Alfred remembered. 'I can refuse it if I want to!'

"Are you okay, Alfred?"

"Hm?" Alfred looked at Kiku. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Well, you reached for the tea that Arthur gave you, which is unusual for you. You don't drink tea now, do you?"

Alfred shook his head. "N-No. I don't. I guess I just forgot that it was tea for a second there."

Arthur just continued to stare at Alfred's actions and reactions to the little that they did before Kiku and Alfred went back home.

'It will get better in time. He'll start talking to me again.' He got out of his car, grab his things from the trunk, and walked towards the smaller of the two large buildings that was on the lot's land.

'Our room is three-oh-two, if I remember right. "Correctly?" I don't know. I know what I mean.' He huffed to himself. 'Kiku said that he would be in the cafeteria for a while. He should still be there, then. There or not, I think I'm still going to get something to eat...'

Kiku was drawing in a blank book. He was so into his drawing, that he didn't notice the other person who took the seat in front of him until that person started talking.

"You're still here?"

Kiku looked up. "Ah- yes. I started drawing and I guess I lost track of the time. How are you? Did you already get your things in the room?" He wasn't expecting them to be organized, or even out of their boxes, yet.

"Yeah, I did. I'm doing pretty good. How about you? How are you doing?"

"I'm doing good. I've just been working on this in my free time, mostly."

"Oh, well, show me when you're done, okay?" Alfred smiled. "Well, I'm hungry. I'm going to get something to-" He yelped suddenly.

"A-Are you okay?" Alfred was looking behind him. He turned to see what would distract Alfred to the point of yelping, but he couldn't see anything. "What are you looking at?"

"I-I'm... Actually..." His eyes ran over the back of a strong, blond man. 'Wh-What...?'

"Your face is turning white. Are you sure you're okay?"

The man Alfred was staring at turned around around so Alfred could see his face, and confirm his fear. He felt his heart drop down to the bottom of his stomach, and then up his throat when the man noticed him. (At least, that's what it felt like to him.)

"W-We should go back to our room. I can get you food after we-" Alfred stood up from his seat and started running towards the opposite direction of the man. "Alfred, wait!" Kiku started following Alfred across the cafeteria.

The man smiled. 'I don't think I've seen that look on Alfred's face before.' He noticed a blue book bag by the table the two were sitting at. 'He forgot his bag.' He lifted up the back and started following them.

Alfred eventually ran into a random bathroom with Kiku following him. 'What is HE doing HERE?! Is he following me?!'

"Alfred, what... What was that? What's wrong?"

Alfrd took a deep breath. "I-I'm sorry. I just... Suddenly felt a bit claustrophobic in a room with a lot of people in it. I just needed to leave for a moment."

"Well then, let's go home. Again, I'll get you what you want for food, and then you can have some time to your self."

"Um... Yeah, okay. 'Just give me a second." He turned on a sink so he could splash some water on his face. He took another deep breath, before turning the sink off. "Oka-"

"There you are!" Alfred jumped at that voice.

'He's here! Why is he here?!' He turned to face the owner of the voice with wide eyes. 'Why is he follwing me?'

"You forgot your book bag." The man extended his arm towards Alfred. "You should be more careful with your things."

"O-Oh... Thanks." He took the bag from the man who he hates.

"It's not a problem. 'Just try to remember next time. You don't want to lose your textbooks, after all."

"Y-Yeah. Again, thank you."

"Oh, and, you look pale. You should get home and rest."

"W-We were just doing that. Thanks." 'It's because you're here!'

Kiku bowed politely. "Thank you for your concern. Come on, Alfred. We should get back so you can rest."

"Yeah..." Alfred walked around the large man with that German accent that he learned to hate so much to leave the bathroom.

aphaphaph

Alfred was alone in his dorm room now, while Kiku left to get him some food. He opened his bag, and there was a piece of paper faced up on top of his things so he could read it.

'I live close to this school. My address is... 'Just in case you need something, or just want to come over to see the dogs.

Ludwig'

APHAPHAPH

DONE! I almost didn't finish this. If it weren't for a few different things inspiring me, I probably would be in bed by now... Or playing a game.

I still don't really like the first part, nor do I like how I just added in something that should've been added to the end of the last chapter, but I didn't think of it until, well...

Was there something else that I wanted to mention..? I can't remember. XD
