(weeks after the ghost incident)
"That ghost is going to get the beating of his afterlife." Alfred muttered as he walked up the narrow stairs that led to the attic. He had been hearing laughter and footsteps for hours. It seemed at the ghost only came to play when Arthur wasn't around in the afternoon. Alfred trembled outside the door. Then he kicked the door open with his foot and peered inside. The attic was filled to the brim with junk from the previous owner and Alfred hadn't had the time to inspect everything.
"Hello?" Alfred whispered as he cautiously crept through the room. He noticed that their wasn't as much dust in the room as their should be for a house that had apparently been abandoned for fourteen years. Alfred flinched when he heard the sound of breathing coming from somewhere in the room.
"W-What was that!" Alfred trembled and nearly lost his grip on his bat.
"who ever you are this isn't funny!" Alfred shouted. A moment later his shout was answered
"AH CHOOO!" Alfred turned toward the source of the sound and furrowed his brows.
"Can ghosts sneeze?" where the sound came from was a large wardrobe that had been tucked away in the corner of the room. It was perfect for someone to hide in. Alfred felt all the blood drain from his face as a thought ran through his mind.
What if it wasn't a ghost but instead some peeping tom or weirdo. Alfred growled at the back of his throat as he thought of all the times that Arthur had been alone in the house. Alfred gained back his courage in that moment, his desire to protect Arthur was more powerful than his fears.
"Show yourself!" Alfred shouted. He heard a childish yelp and a moment later a small boy tumbled out of the wardrobe.
"You found me old man." Alfred lowered his bat and sighed. The child in front of him looked solid.
"Who are you?"
" I'm peter, your next door neighbor. And you guys are in my clubhouse." Alfred raised an eyebrow.
"Clubhouse?"
"Yeah clubhouse, I've been playing up here since I was five years old, I've got first dibs!" peter said stomping his foot.
"huh? How did you get up here anyway?" Alfred said looking toward the open window.
"I climbed, duh." Alfred stuck his head out the window and noticed that the tree growing in the garden made a perfect latter.
"That's really dangerous." Alfred muttered as he looked at the unstable limbs.
"Who are you anyway?" Peter said as he sat down on one of the boxes.
"You guys just showed up out of the blue, and took over my secret base." Alfred sat down on another box opposite the other.
"Sorry little dude I didn't mean to kick you out of your secret base." He smiled and motioned around them.
"I bought this place so me and Arthur could live together." Peters eyes widened.
"Are you like my parents?" he asked.
"what do you mean?"
"I've got two dads." Peter said holding up two fingers.
"you mean your parents are homosexual?" Alfred asked.
"Yep, they were the only ones here until you guys came. Isä (father) is really excited." Alfred smiled.
"That's good I was a bit worried how the neighbor hood would take to us. "
"Peter where are you!" Peter turned to the window and looked down into his yard.
"Isä!" he yelled waving at a blond male searching frantically for his son in the bushes.
"There you are!" Tino yelled and he placed his hands on his hips.
"How many times have I told you not to go into that house young man! Come back home this instant!" he scolded his son and Alfred appeared behind him.
"Oh dear! I'm sorry did he bother you?" Alfred shook his head and smiled.
"No he's fine. You're his dad right?" Alfred leaned out the window.
"yes I am."
"Wait a moment and I'll bring him down to you." Alfred said. He smiled and looked down at peter.
"If you want to come play in your secret base you can use the stairs next time." He said.
"you bet." Peter said his face brightened up considerably.
"Can we play that game of your sometime too?" peter asked.
"Sure." Alfred said. They walked outside and Tino waited on the other side of the gate that led to the yard.
"Your pappa will hear about this when he gets home mister." Tino said as he took peter by the hand, and gave him a glare that didn't really reach his eyes. Peter shivered a little at the mention of his other father.
"Thank you for bringing him down." Tino said holding out his hand.
"My name is Tino Väinämöinen." He said, Alfred took his hand and shook it.
"Alfred F. Jones." He replied with a smile.
"Its nice to finally meet you guys." Tino blushed a bit.
"we should of introduced ourselves sooner but we were waiting for you guys to get settled before we came barging in." he said with a laugh.
"And this little one just invited himself in." Tino said with a scowl as he looked down at his son.
"what am I going to do with you." Peter smiled apologetically.
"Its alright. He wasn't a bother. Next time I just wish he would use the stairs. I thought we had a ghost in the house." Alfred said laughing.
"whats going on here?" Alfred turned around to see Arthur walking into the back yard.
"Artie, guess what, we don't have ghosts." Alfred said as he pointed to peter.
"I think we already knew that Alfred." Arthur said tiredly, he was so tired that all of the usual bite to his voice was gone.
"Hello." Arthur said nodding to Tino and Peter.
"This is Arthur Kirkland my partner." Alfred said as he grabbed Arthur's shoulders and hugged him.
"Arthur this is Tino and Peter our next door neighbors." Arthur waved at them weakly. He barely even had enough energy to keep himself standing, if it weren't for Alfred holding him up he would of collapsed by now.
"Luv I'm going to lye down now." Alfred looked at Arthurs face and frowned.
"Sugar, you look horrible." Arthur sighed.
"Thank you for saying that." He said sarcastically. Alfred paid the last remark no mind and lifted Arthur up off the ground.
"It was nice meeting you guys." Alfred said as he trotted off with a weak Arthur in his arms.
Alfred found out why Arthur was so weak, a few minutes after he got him into the house and in bed.
"Oh my god you've got a raging fever." Alfred said as he took the thermometer out of Arthurs mouth.
"Its not the flu is it?" Alfred said concerned.
"No its not the flu you idiot, I'm a doctor too you know. I think I could recognize the symptoms of flu myself." He snapped.
"Okay, fine." Alfred said holding up his hands in surrender.
"Want me to get you something to eat?" Alfred asked as he brushed back Arthurs hair.
"No I don't want anything." Arthur said weakly suddenly he started to cough violently.
"Arthur! That cough doesn't sound good." Alfred watched as Arthur struggled for breath.
"If this isn't better by tomorrow your going to a doctor." Once Arthur caught his breath he glared at Alfred.
"I am a Doctor you buffoon!"
"And so am I, Ludwig is who needs to take a look at you, he specializes in influenza." Alfred said trying is best to keep his cool and not shout.
"For the last time I do not have Influenza! *cough* Cough*" Alfred could hear Arthur wheezing deep within his lungs.
"It might be pneumonia." He murmured to himself.
"For the love of god Alfred, leave me be!" Arthur cried as he buried himself underneath the blankets.
"I still think…"
"OUT! *cough*" Alfred's shoulders drooped and he slinked away like a kicked puppy. He walked into the living room and settled down on the couch. This was going to be a long day.
