As for FanFiction readers, since I've also got an dA account where I upload this FanFic, I will update on FanFiction later then on dA, since then I can first let a Beta-reader read it… So if you want to read the very newest chapters as soon as they're finished, I recommend you should visit my dA account. You can find in on my Profile Info. ;D


Hamburgers With Rockin' Tea!

Chapter 7

By HamburgerWithTea


"Where've ya been?" Matthew asked form the couch as Alfred came in.

"Ah, I went for a walk and met some wicked awesome people!" Alfred answered, "We went to eat… Oh and I went to go watch them perform their music! It was great!"

"Okay, I'm glad you had a nice day," Matthew answered with s small grin. He really was glad Alfred found some new friends, this way he didn't have to bother Matthew all the time with how boring everything was and that he wanted him to play video games with him.

Alfred took off his jacket and hung it at one of the hooks that were attached to the wall behind the front door. As he did so, he took his mobile phone out of the pocket of his bomber jacket.

"I'll have to ask for his phone number next time…" he thought as he suddenly remembered Arthur, and he put the phone in the pocket of his jeans. He wondered why he wanted Arthur's phone number so much…

But as soon as he glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed the time, he forgot about it. It was time for his favourite cartoon to start, so he quickly walked up to the couch Matthew was sitting on, and grabbed the remote control.

" 'ey!" Matthew called out as the drama he was watching suddenly switched onto a really childish cartoon. He looked left to see Alfred holding the remote while being all focussed on the screen.

"Aww I missed the beginning and the awesome theme song!" Alfred whined as he noticed Matthew was looking at him with a somewhat angry face. Matthew sighed; no way he could continue watching his drama, because whenever Alfred got hold of the remote, he wouldn't let go until there wasn't anything on the TV anymore that interested him, so he just went to the kitchen to grab some snacks.

When Matthew came back from the kitchen, Alfred was still all focused on the TV screen. "God, Alfred is so childish..."

"Yeah! Beat him!" Alfred yelled out as the hero and the villain were fighting. It seemed the hero was going to win as he hit the villain. "No! You can't die!" Apparently the hero was now almost killed by the villain… But of course, since this always happened in stories like these, the hero would survive at the very last point of the battle, and beat the villain. But for Alfred it was still very exciting to watch, since he didn't seem to notice that, and still thought the hero could die.

"YES!" Alfred yelled out when the hero, of course, won the battle. Matthew rolled his eyes and you could tell that he wondered if he really was the younger one of the two of them by reading his face.

"Here have some popcorn," was what Alfred suddenly heard from beside him. He looked up and saw that his little brother sitting beside him with a bowl filled with popcorn. He didn't understand how Matthew suddenly held a bowl of popcorn, Alfred thought he went to his room or something.

But this happened more often, especially when Alfred was focused on something, he'd forget about the things around him, but he'd forget the most about his brother. He wondered why it always seemed as if Matthew was invisible and sometimes suddenly popped up to be forgotten right after that.

Alfred took a hand full of popcorn and tried to stuff all of it into his mouth at once so he could go grab another hand of popcorn.

"Too bad," He thought as he put the popcorn in his mouth, "It's salt…" Of course he could've expected that, since Matthew would always make salt popcorn, because he didn't like sweet popcorn.

For Alfred it was the opposite. He liked sweet popcorn over salt. But he didn't mind eating salt, because it was still food, so he still continued stuffing his mouth with hands full of popcorn.

Some popcorn fell out of his hands and dropped onto the couch.

"Alfred! Please eat like a human being! It's not like you're starving!" Matthew said to him with an angry, yet soft voice.

Alfred looked at him with his much-used puppy dog eyes, and murmured with a lot of popcorn still in his mouth, "But I was feeling hungry!" (or at least that's what Matthew figured he said, because it was very hard to understand).

"You just came back from diner," Matthew responded, "I'm sure you're not as hungry as you think you are." But even tough he said that, he still let Alfred continue to eat, well, stuff his mouth with popcorn.

"So, who are these new friends you met today?" Matthew asked out of pure curiosity.

"Hhumm.." Alfred murmured as he tried to swallow a huge amount of popcorn, and as he succeeded he answered, "Well, you remember that guy we met at work right? That punk guy?"

Matthew nodded. "Well, he told us about where he worked, right? And well, since I, as a hero, was a bit worried about how he'd be doing now, after I helped him to get home, I went to this CD store he talked about working at," Alfred explained, "That's how we got to talk a bit, and I invited him for lunch, but he said he had to got to some sort of practise for his band, you see? Well he asked if I wanted to go with him, of course I accepted, and that's how I went to see him and his band practising."

Matthew just nodded again. He was still glad his brother had found some new friends.

"And you know what? They're really great! Both as people and band! You should go with us next time!" Alfred said happily, he really wanted to show Matthew how awesome Arthur and the other guys were, "I shall ask Arthur next time."

"Okay, I'd like to see it some day then, since you seem so excited about it," Matthew replayed with a gentle smile on his face.

"You're a great brother!" Alfred said to Matthew, and even before he got his answer of what Matthew thought, he already asked, "Want to play a video game?"

Matthew slowly nodded. Alfred knew Matthew wasn't really into video games too much, but still he seemed to enjoy it sometimes.

"What game?" Matthew asked.

Alfred thought very deeply. He wanted to either play his newly bought race game, or the zombie game he once tried to play, but then didn't continue. Not because he was scared. Not at all, since of course heroes won't ever get scared. It was just that he stayed awake all the night after that to make sure there weren't any zombies secretly attacking while he was sleeping.

But today he preferred to have a good time sleeping, so he decided to play the race game, so Matthew grabbed the new race game and switched the game consol on.

Matthew inserted the disk into the game consol and got back to the couch, where Alfred was still sitting. He handed Alfred the 2nd controller, and Alfred took it from him with great excitement.

It had been a while sine he and Matthew had time to go play a video game together, even tough he loved it so much.

"Beware that the hero never loses!" He told Matthew as he selected the multiplayer game, "Don't be too sad if you lose!"

"Yeah whatever," Matthew told him. He didn't seem too impressed by Alfred's hero-talk. After all these years he was completely used to the behaviour of his older brother.

As soon as the game started Alfred was all focused on the screen again.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice there were already 2 hours passed as Matthew told him he was tired and went to sleep.

Alfred only noticed by then that he was also pretty tired of the exciting but long day, and decided to switch off the video game and went to brush his teeth.

As he stood in front of the mirror, his mind wandered off to remember what he'd experienced today.

"I should take Arthur out for another ride on my motor cycle," He thought "He really seemed to enjoy it…" Or at least that's what Alfred thought, since he couldn't be sure; the Brit had shown an somewhat un-impressed face, but yet Alfred thought he'd seen something shine in his emerald green eyes…

When he finished brushing his teeth he was ready to hit the hay.. He didn't feel like showering, he was way too tired, he'd do that tomorrow.

As he got into his room he quickly changed into his pyjamas and crawled under the covers. He laid down on his back so he could stare at the ceiling above him. It was covered in glow-in-the-dark stars and several posters of superheroes, so that if he woke up he'd see them. There was a American flag hanging on the wall beside his bed, he just put it there since it was still hard to forget about the country where he was born and raised. The rest of his room was just full of lots of random objects. Of course there were even more superhero posters, but he also owned lots of other superhero-related stuff, such as figures, comics and magazines. He just liked them because it made him think about how he'd be able to save the world if something terrible ever happened to it.

He looked around his room, and his mind slowly wandered off to once again recall the day. It had been a pretty nice day. He wondered when he'd be able to see the band practise again, since he really enjoyed to see them perform. Maybe he should go to one of their concerts once?

Well, whatever, it didn't matter right now. He just wanted to go to sleep.

And so he did. As soon as he closed his eyes he fell asleep.


A few days had passed since Alfred went to see the band practise and Arthur stared to wonder if he maybe liked to go to another practise sometime.

Right now Arthur was working again, at his job as a cashier in the CD store. Today it was a pretty easy-going day, since a lot of people were on vacation.

It was the first week of a two-week holiday in the middle of may and a lot of people decided it'd be a great opportunity to go visit some other place then their usual town with their families.

The only ones who didn't leave the town were the families who couldn't afford a holiday or college students.

"I wonder if Alfred went somewhere…" Arthur thought, but then he remembered Alfred had told him he would be home this holidays because he was in charge of the McDonalds since his boss went on a vacation with his family.

The time passed slowly and Arthur soon became a bit bored. He checked if his hot-headed manager was around, but it seemed that the manager went home already and left the store to Arthur to take care of.

After Arthur made sure his manager really wasn't around, he got away from behind the counter and walked towards the shelves full of CD's. He searched for a CD and then took it out. The CD read Sex Pistols and Arthur was sure he'd enjoy it.

He listened to this CD whenever he was bored.

He walked up to one of the CD players where you customers would be able to listen to a CD before they purchased it. He quickly inserted the CD and put on the headphones.

He enjoyed it really much to be working at a store where he'd be able to listen to his favourite songs whenever he was bored and had no work to do.

Arthur slowly started to forget about his surroundings. The music grabbed all his attention and he soon closed his eyes to enjoy the songs even more. He knew exactly why he liked this CD so much; he could really feel the music as it played on and on. He got the same very exciting feeling he got when he played guitar. A feeling as if he'd be able to conquer the whole world and no one could ever beat him or stop him.

The music, the lyrics…

He gave a somewhat manly squeak as he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around and expected to see the angry face of his manager, but as he looked to the man that grabbed him by his shoulder, all he saw were a brightly smiling face with beautiful sky-blue eyes…
