Beep. Beep.

Beep. Beep.

What's that noise?

Beep. Beep.

BEEP. BEEP.

A loud banging startled Mathew from his sleep, causing him to shoot out of his bed, glasses skewed on his face.

"Would you like, turn off that fucking alarm! Why do you even have one if I have to come in here and wake you up, like, every god dammed day?"

It took a moment for Mathew to process what was happening. Felix was standing at his door wearing a pink slip with feathers on the hem, spatula in hand; not that that was unusual, and a loud beeping noise was coming from somewhere near his feet.

"What?" He looked towards the source of the sound to see his phone lying on the floor, his alarm reminding him it was 8:00 o'clock and he should probably get up now. Well, more like 8:37, and that was just a friendly suggestion. "Oh, sorry Feliks, guess I forgot to turn it off before going to bed." He mumbled, picking the phone up off the floor and quieting the alarm. "Did I disturb you and Toris?" Mathew teased.

Feliks rolled his eyes, "Like, as if. Toris went home yesterday."

You'd think his roommate had just grown two heads with the way Mathew was staring at him. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Hun, you've been, like, asleep for a whole day. Not that I minded of course. Just like, gave me more time with my boyfriend." He gave a sly smirk.

"I've been asleep for an entire day?"

Mathew searched through his phone, discovering that he had several missed call and texts. Have you ever slept an entire day away, and when you woke up it felt like the world moved on without you? Yeah, well that's how Mathew felt right now. Grabbing his bag he dashed out the door, leaving Feliks standing there gaping at the spot where Mathew had been.

Shit shit shit shit shit. That meant it was Monday, and he was supposed to be on the bus already to get to work.

And he was still in the same clothes that he wore two days ago. Ew.

After he managed to flag down the bus, he made it to work with 4 minutes to spare.

"Hey, don't run inside the store!" A man yelled from behind the counter as Mathew burst in, panting. "Oh, sorry Matt, thought you were just some kid trying to cause trouble or something."

Mathew smiled at his coworker while stashing his stuff below the counter, adjusting his name tag. Carlos was wearing another one of his Hawaiian shirts, his dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail as he read one of the comics that was on display near him. "So what' s the rush?" He asked, still flipping through the pages of the book.

"Slept all day yesterday, woke up late." Mathew huffed as he sat in the chair beside Carlos. "Ah, welcome." Mathews attention was drawn away from their conversation to greet the customer walking through the door. The rest of his day went smoothly, no more than two or three people being in the shop at one time. Mathew worked at the small comic book store that was somewhat close to his house. It made it easy to be where he needed to be without a car being a necessity. He'd been working here almost as long as he'd been living with Feliks, and he really enjoyed the calmer atmosphere.

It was around seven when they were getting ready to close that a person he hadn't been expecting to see walked into the store.

"Alfred? What are you doing here?" Mathew asked, pausing in the taking down of a display.

The blonde in question gave him a sheepish grin, seeming a little awkward that he had been called out on his actions.

"Well, you never text back yesterday when I wanted to offer to take you out again. I wasn't sure what happened, but I remembered that you said you worked at a comic shop, so I felt that it was about time I updated my superman collection." Alfred finished with a smirk.

Mathew couldn't help but smile, "Well I'm glad you came. I get off in 15 minutes or so, wanna browse until I finish this up?"

"Would love to," He complied, picking up the book nearest to him and skimming over the pages while Mathew hurried to finish his work. It took him only four minutes to take down the cardboard cutouts and stash the extra books in the back room. Carlos offered to close up for him, so with a thanks he said a quick goodbye before walking over to Alfred.

Mathew snuck up behind the blonde whose nose was currently stuck between the colorful pages of issue 24 of Superman, the cover having a depiction of the hero standing with the American flag waving behind him. Mathew gingerly tapped on Alfred's shoulder, making him jump. "So, what did you have in mind?"

"What did I what?" he asked, a bit confused.

"Well, you said you wanted to take me out for a date, so what did you have in mind?"

Alfred blushed, "Well I- hey wait! I never said that!"

"It was implied," Mathew rolled his eyes, grinning at the shocked face Alfred had as they exited the shop, locking the door behind them. "So, what did you wanna do?"

The taller man let out an exasperated huff. "Well, I thought we could go to the movies or something like that, and then after that go and have dinner." Then quickly added, "Or have dinner then see a movie. Whichever you would like."

Mathew smiled, "I think a movie and dinner sounds great." Meeting Alfred's eyes he gave another smile, feeling shy under the others intense stare. "But since its late, you'll just have to settle for walking me home tonight." He felt like being a tease today.

Alfred let out a laugh, "I'm happy with that." Mathew got butterflies when he felt the others hand grab his own, the two now casually walking together in silence. It was too soon when his apartment complex came into sight, the orange light illuminating the area around them at the base of the steps leading to his door.

Mathew stopped there, keeping Alfred from continuing up. The taller man looked back at the other, confusion evident on his face. "Is there something wrong Matt?" he asked, leaning down closer to the shorter blonde until he noticed his face was flushed red. "Hey, are you oka-"

He was cut off as Mathew leaned forward, pushing his lips against the startled man's. All too quickly Mathew pulled away, about to rush up the stairs in embarrassment when he was spun around, lips crashing down against his own. After a moment he reached up, wrapping his arms around Alfred's neck, tip-toeing to better reach the other's lips while Alfred wrapped his arms around Mathew's waist. Feeling the press of a tongue against his mouth Mathew willingly obliged to the wordless request. The two swirled their tongues against the others, exploring each nick and cranny of the warm space. The steamy kiss ended when the two pulled away from each other, breaking contact for air.

Alfred smiled, touching his forehead to Mathews, still panting. "So, pick you up on Friday?"

"I'd like that," Mathew smiled back warmly, placing a small peck on the others lips before walking up to his apartment, Alfred watching until the door closed behind him, the soft smile never leaving his face.

Issue number 24 of Superman actually looks like that! XD I stumbled upon it, trying to find a good cover to describe in here when I found it and thought it was perfect! Lol You have to agree, no?

Still trying to decide whether to continue with these guys, or if I should go back to Gilbert and pick back up on this later….hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

WHELP, guess we'll just have to find out next chapter huh?

Well, that is, If I get enough reviews to fill up my life bar so that I may fight any writers block that might come my way! *raises sword*
