Gilbert wasn't happy at all. He didn't feel awesome and that was a huge problem. Ludwig had tried his best to get him to calm down after he had barged through the door snarling like a wild animal, but even trying to the best of his abilities Ludwig couldn't get him to calm down completely. The albino was currently pacing around the living room growls escaping his mouth every few minutes. He could still hear that stupid voice.

'Get him back.'

"Shut it."

'He belongs to you.'

"No he doesn't, he's a kid."

'Take Him!'

"Shut Up!" Gilbert shouted as he kicked the poor furniture closest to him. He continued taking heavy breathes trying to push back the voice. He despised it and he was sure if Ludwig saw him he would call for Francis to help. Francis. What would he say to him after what happened with his husband? He would question him about his interaction with Matthew, who just so happened to be his son. Great, which probably left him with little chance of seeing the young blond, especially if he found out he was hearing that voice again.

Gilbert let out a tired breath. Maybe it was for the best he stopped seeing the little blonde. If he was getting out of control then he wouldn't want Matthew to be near him and get hurt because of him. He slumped down on the couch, he knew that it wouldn't be fair for Matthew if he just stopped coming by. Leaving him without answers that he was sure he would want to know. He figured out that Arthur hadn't told him anything and Matthew was blind to the world around him. Could he really tell him the truth about him with the chance of Matthew thinking he was crazy? A liar? Or worse a monster… No he wouldn't.

"This is so frustrating."

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?"

Gilbert sat up and looked out the window. The sun was already up and Ludwig was standing nearby giving him a concern look. The albino let out another breath and got up. He didn't bother saying anything as he passed by his brother and walked towards his room. He might say something wrong and he didn't want his little brother to worry even more.

Ludwig just looked at him. He knew that Gilbert wouldn't say anything but he was determine to find out what happened, he let out a sigh of his own. He remembered the boy Gilbert talked about at their parents' grave and how The Voice had resurfaced, last night also proved that The Voice was back and tormenting his brother's mind. And he'll be damned if he couldn't help his brother. He wouldn't tell Francis just yet, not with the chances of him taking away his brother again. He would look for this Matthew and he'll make sure he got his answers one way or another. He just hoped it wasn't the other way.

"I'm off to school East." With that said he marched off to school with a determine look in his eyes.

"Um I don't want to seem rude but, what are you doing here Li?" Matthew had just stepped out of his house to see the young Asian standing in front of his house.

"I thought it would be nice if we walked to school together." Li said with a shrug.

Matthew didn't protest as much since it would be nice to walk to school with somebody other than Alfred; who just so happened left early with a friend of his own before him. He didn't mind so he just walked with him and started small conversation. He was shocked to find out they had more classes together than just gym, since they kept to themselves so often they just never realized they were only a few seats away from one another. Not to mention that Matthew was invisible to Li at the time as well. It was nice having someone to talk about class that actually knew what was going on.

"You seemed to be bothered this morning." Li asked when they reached the front of the school. "Not to mention tired."

Matthew just let a sigh. Li knew that he shouldn't be tired since Yao now handle the mornings, so the blonde now got a good amount of sleep. But yesterday he couldn't stop thinking of what had happened the day before. His dad wouldn't look at him and tried his best to avoid him, leaving him to think of what his friend had done.

'Wait' Matthew eyes shot up and he looked towards the raven head. "You know Gilbert right? I mean Yao does and Gil was the one who recommended him. So you know about him too right?"

"A little," Li said giving Matthew a confused look. "Yao was introduced to him when he started dating Ivan, I barley talk to him though."

"Oh." Matthew said shoulders slumping a bit. "Never mind then."

The young Asian knew that Matthew wanted to know more about the albino, he figured Matthew would realize sooner or later that something was… off with Gilbert, but trustfully he thought it would be much later than this.

"Did something happen?" He asked looking closely towards his friend. He saw the blond stiff a little, his eyes lowered and he knew the memory worried him. "What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know." Matthew whispered. The bell rang and Matthew realized they were already in their first class.

"He's not bad." Matthew swiftly turned towards Li who was now sitting next to him. "He's just misunderstood." Giving a final nod he turned back towards the board letting Matthew to be in his own thoughts.

Night Before

"I just don't understand why you are so angry mon amour."

"Don't Understand?! Francis he was near one of the boys, one of OUR BOYS!"

Francis let out a sigh. Is husband had come home angry, he wasn't expecting that emotion since he was told where he went that afternoon but here he was with an angry British man screeching about one of his friends, he didn't understand why he was so angry with Gilbert. Of what he is, yes he could understand that a bit, but Gilbert would never abuse his powers.

"Matthew could have been hurt maybe killed!"

"Enough of that!" The taller blond said getting up from the bed. "I've told you plenty of times that Gilbert made a mistake. He knows he did and he was truly sorry of what happened."

"It doesn't mean anything." Arthur said angrily. "She's gone and it's his entire fault. What if it happens again? What if the boys are in the middle of it?"

"I know you'll be angry with this," A growl came from the British man with Francis ignored. "But it sounds like to me that you just don't want the boys to find out and you're using Gilbert as an excuse. Wait let me explain." He said seeing Arthur about to yell. "We've been keeping them in the dark for years oui?" His husband gave him a nod. "And all of a sudden Gilbert gets through your barrels, making there a chance of one of Matthew to figure out what's been hidden. Cause let's face it Alfred won't figure it out even if we shout it out to him."

Francis walked up to the shorter man and embraced him in a reassuring hug and giving a kiss at the top of his head, Feeling his husband relax at the touch he gave a smile. He knew Gilbert wouldn't hurt anyone and after finding out that Matthew is his son, he wouldn't even dare touch him.

"I don't want you to use her as an excused as well, Gilbert is tormented enough as it is and I know that even though he's done nothing about his appearance, he doesn't want anyone to know about him."

"That's why he's an idiot." Snorted Arthur but leaned onto the man's chest. "I just don't want the boys to be in any danger."

"We agreed when we took those boys in that we would tell them. They have great potential in them."

"But it's not time yet." Arthur whispered "I just want them to be safe."

"Yes I understand, but there's a difference between safe and ignorance. I know you put some influence in them but those hints aren't enough. They're growing up and to them it's all just fairy tales."

"One more year please, one more and I'll let you come clean with them."

Frances gave out a chuckled. "Till their birthday and we'll both tell them."

"I hate you."

"I love you too ange, now why don't we go to sleep early." Francis said nibbling on his husband's ear. "And don't forget to soundproof the room this time."

"You bloody frog."

-NJAN-

"Gilbert." Francis said as soon as he walked into the kitchen. "A word s'il vous plait."

Said man gave a small gulp at his boss' tone of voice. Francis was in business mode and he could feel the tension seeping out of him. He walked in the office and Francis offered him a seat, he rather not so he could make a fast escape but the look his friend gave him told him otherwise.

"I'm sure you are aware of why I called you here." Francis said with a stoic look. Gilbert didn't like it at all.

"For a raise?"

"Arthur told me what happened yesterday."

"Nothing happened; I didn't do anything to him." Gilbert shot back.

Francis only shot his hand up waiting for Gilbert to understand he trusted the silveret, and when he did Gilbert was able to relax I bit more.

"I merely wanted to know when you were going to advise me you were with my son."

"Man I didn't even know you were his dad." Gilbert said leaning back on his seat. "Though I should have guessed when he said he had two dads."

Francis gave a confused look at him. "You didn't smell my scent on him at all?"

"Nope," Gilbert didn't realized he gave a small smile, it didn't go unnoticed. "He has this sweat aroma to him, I don't know if its cause of his pasties or it's him but he just overwhelms any other smell."

"Careful Gilbert, it sounds like you're amoureux."

The albino gasped and almost fell back from his seat. "No! No no no. Don't even joke like that man! He's a kid and your son!"

"Are you saying something is wrong with my boy?"

"Nooo! He's cute don't get me wrong but… I can never date him." Gilbert gave out a small breath and he looked up towards his the older blond. "I may look young but I'm as old as you."

"But you still act like a child." Francis smirked "Mou ami I trust you with all my heart and I know you would never do anything to harm him."

"I'm sorry but are you giving me your blessings?"

"In a way, I know you will protect him as you already have."

Gilbert gave him a surprised look. "How did you-."

"Matthew didn't say anything but his aura had a tint of panic and death in it." The Frenchman gave him a piercing look. "Yours was on him as well." Before Gilbert could speck Francis stopped him and gave him a relief and thankful smile. "It was around him, protecting him from any harm. May I ask what happened?"

"He was almost hit by a car."

Both men were silent. Because Francis saw death on the young blonde they knew what would have happened if Gilbert hadn't reached him in time.

"Thank you so much," Francis finally said. "I'll be sure to tell Ar-"

"No." Gilbert cut off his face going serious. "It won't change the way he thinks and I'm sure if he finds out, he'll start to put more protections on Matthew."

"You really want to continue seeing him don't you."

"I- I don't know."

"He will be hurt if you stop and if my son is unhappy I will be sure to cause harm on whatever or whoever done it. Mou ange excluded."

"Pfft fine I'll keep seeing your brat." With that said he stood up and as he was about to walk out the door he stopped and gave a grateful smile to his childhood friend. "Thank you."

After leaving his office Francis gave a smile of his own and began to finish some paperwork. "But if you hurt him in any way possible, I'll be there to burn you." He knew Gilbert could still hear him and he took great pleasure when he felt a certain aura spark up with fear. Gilbert wasn't afraid of Arthur, but he was terrified of what Francis could do.

AN- YAAAY we learn a little about Francis. If you guys have an idea awesome but my lack of clues really isn't helping :/

Soo please read and review cause they make my oh so happy. :)
