Matthew watched as Alfred busied himself around the house. It was rare to see his cousin running around and cleaning everything. As Matthew sat there, as if he were invisible, Alfred had already finished all the dishes and even cleaned the bathroom.

"So…did something happen?" Matthew asked, after Alfred had slowed down.

"Nothing major," Alfred said.

"Arthur did something didn't he?" Matthew shifted his position so that he would be able to look at Alfred over the top of Kumajiro's head.

"N-no! What are you talking about?!" Alfred rolled his eyes and cleared the coffee table.

Alfred sighed and sat next to Matthew, picking up a magazine, "Look, I don't want to talk about it. The conversation is over."

"Okay…but just to let you know, it'd be okay if you were gay," Matthew said.

"What?"

"It'd be okay…I mean, I'd like you anyway. You're my cousin! You know?" Matthew smirked.

"Dude, you're rhyming," Alfred rolled his eyes.

"I was…sorry," Matthew yawned. "So, you're not going to tell me what happened?"

"Obviously not."

"Okay…" Matthew stood up and chuckled, "He kissed you didn't he?"

Alfred gave a stumbling retort, but soon gave him to explain to the now laughing Matthew. He sighed and got up. Maybe he would ask Arthur out to clear up these strange feelings.


"Will I what?!" Arthur stared at Alfred. It was too early to be joking about this, especially when there was a test.

"Please? Please go out with me?" Alfred said.

"What? Why?!" Arthur asked. "Plus, shouldn't you be-"

"We're friends, Arthur!" Alfred said. He looked down at his shoes, "When you kissed me I felt something special between us…so, please?"

Arthur stared at Alfred, then rolled his eyes and blushed, "I-I guess…if that's what you want."
