Matthew POV

As I wanted to find the source of the random burning smell, I went to the kitchen first. Burners off and the gas the same. I checked the wires in the kitchen, living room, and the closet under the stairs, nothing was burning and the smell was not that strong, as it wasn't before.

I headed back upstairs and peeked in Mama and Papa's room, finding not a trace of the two or anything burning. I went down the hall and knocked on Alfred's door, "Alfred are you smoking or is that burning smell something else?"

"That smell is something burning? I dunno dude, it could be the neighbors burning a fire."

I groaned, "Alfred it's summer, why would anyone be burning anything now?"

I could hear him shrug, dumbass, "They might wanna burn a body to ashes."

"You can't burn skeleton like that Alfred!"

"Then how do they cremate people then Mattie~?" He inquired.

I sighed and hit my head against his closed door, "Alfred don't speak, you lower the intelligence of the whole street every time you do..."

"HEY!"

I laughed and hurried back to my room, "Hay is for horses Al."

I heard him scoff as I entered my room, still not knowing the cause of the burning smell. "Whatever." I said mildly as I plopped headfirst on my bed, finding the only thing that was fit for me at the moment. I then drifted to a sleep full of dreams of fire.

Gilbert POV

Guitar blared in my ears and my foot tapped boredly on the red, carpeted floors. Of course my father didn't seem to realize that I wasn't listening to his lecture about "you shouldn't be out so late young man." I mean, I hear it at least 12 days out of the month, I'm hearing it now. Especially with the thoughts of Birdie on my mind.

"-do you hear me young man?!" Looks like pops found out.

I smirked and pointed to my ears, showing red ear buds I got from Best Buy to replace the ones that I broke a few days ago.

My dad's face looked like something between an angry Lovino and a tomato, scratch the tomato, Lovino always looks like an angry tomato. Basically my dad looked like a pissed off Lovino but with longer blond hair, a tiny braid, and blue eyes.

While dad ranted to me my thoughts went to other places. I wish I got more of pops' looks rather than my great grandfather's albino-ness. Of course there was nothing I could do now unless I wanted to constantly dye my hair blond or black, although that would cost me too much money to go to a pro for that shit. ("GILBERT DO YOU HEAR ME?!) I sighed inwardly, why does everything cost money?! Well not everything cost money, sometimes I wish that were the case. Maybe then I could buy my brother back and buy him a happy life too...

"GILBERT BEILSCHMIDT!" My father slapped my face so hard I fell out of the chair I was sitting in. "Listen to me when I talk to you."

I groaned and got up, rubbing the cheek he hit. I rolled my eyes and sat Indian style looking up at my father innocently, I couldn't help but smirk, "Why, father I was listening~"

Pops glared down at me, sighed- possibly from disappointment- and left me in the living room. I counted his steps, only hearing them stop when he must've closed the door to his study. When he did that I went to my own room, seeing I wasn't going to get anything done out in the living room. When I got to my room, after making as much noise as I could to get there, I pulled out my phone and started texting Francis and Toni.

Me: HEY DUMBASSES I AM AWESOME

Francis: Oui~ and I am fabulous

Toni: **yaaaaaaawwwwwwn** You guys I was sleeping ;A;

Francis: With Lovino?

Me: Kesesese~ Looks like you and Lovi got right at it~

Toni: NO NO! Why do you both gang up on me...

Francis: Would we have it any other way~?

Toni: I guess not... **sigh**

Me: Ja well other than Toni's love life can we talk about something else...?

Francis: Your love life with mon petit cousin~?

Me: WHAT?!

Toni: I'm going to just watch from afar...

Me: I DON'T LIKE HIM LIKE THAT

Francis: Then why did you apologize?

Me: I dunno... I guess I MIGHT like-like him...

Francis: Now that we have that settled~ now we have to talk about what you do after the first date~

Arthur: AS MUCH AS I BLOODY LOVE BEING WOKEN UPIN THE NIGHT I DON'TNEED IT!

Francis: Mon petit lapin~

Arthur: Frog

Francis: You weren't saying that last night

Arthur: PARDON YOU?!

Me: HOW DID YOU GET INVITED EYEBROWS?!

Alfred: HOW DO YOU HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER?! Hey Artie~

Arthur: How would I know?! Did you send it to all your contacts?! Hello Alfred.

Francis: Ohonhonhon~ Gilbert you screwed up this time cher~ Why aren't you being nice to moi Arthur~?

Me: Wait... All my contacts...

Matthew: I just... Um...

Francis, Arthur, and Antonio left the chat room.

Alfred: Go on Gilbert say sonething~
