Arthur uttered a stream of curses as he tried to jam everything into his bag, if Alfred hadn't whined about not being able to see him over the weekend he wouldn't be in this mess. He was going to be late for the council meeting and Yao would be on his ass 24/7 all because of Alfred fucking Jones. Why he couldn't be more like Matthew-

"Hello Arthur, what's wrong?"

Speak of the devil-or rather think. Arthur beamed at the blonde, not noticing the Canadian's blush or adoring stare- God Arthur was dense not to see something so very obvious.

Kiku saw it and that definitely wasn't good news for Matthew.. Kiku could be very... Over protective of his Asa-san.

"Asa-San, are you coming to the meeting?" asked Kiku politely.

He definitely wasn't staring at Arthur's ass when he dropped his book in surprise to his sudden appearance. Matthew narrowed his eyes dangerously at the Japanese boy, inching slightly closer to his Master.

"Ah! Kiku, you surprised me. Yes, I am coming, where's Herakles?" said Arthur with a bashful smile. Matthew inwardly swooned at the sight. He was sooooo cute!

"I think he has gone on ahead, I couldn't find him at break" explained Kiku and Arthur surprised the with a musical burst of laughter and a fond smile.

"Yes, he's probably fallen asleep somewhere, have you tried the library? He loves it there."

"Oh? How do you know Asa-san?" asked Kiku in a silky voice.

Arthur shivered , then frowned confusedly, there weren't any windows open... Oh well. Matthew grimaced at his Master's discomfort, Arthur's self awareness needed some improvement but it was cute the way Master trusted his friends. Not his fault he's chosen the wrong ones. Not his adorable self's fault at all~

"He and my sister went to Magic school together, she used to hide in the library and she sat with him on a whim. Makes you wonder how old he is, doesn't it?" mused Arthur and Kiku's murderous aura dissipated.

"Ah, Alana-Sama is currently on the council isn't she?"

"Yeah, Lanney's always complaining about the old geezers" sniggered Leon, slinging his arm around Arthur's shoulders.

He seemed... Different. Confident and- sexy!? Matthew and Kiku stared at him in shock.

"Hey Leo," grinned Arthur. Leon winked at him before looking back at his former brother.

"Oh, hello Kiku" said Leon coldly... He- he sounded just like Arthur! The way he walked, his attitude- even his appearance had changed! His hair was cut short and he had piercings- how did that happen! Kiku was scandalised but Arthur just seemed... Proud.

"Hello Leon-San" replied Kiku, trying to recover from the shock.

"Surprised?" he smirked and Arthur snorted.

"Come now Leo, there's no need to rub it in his face- that reminds me. I forgot to ask you if you're okay with coming over to the Kirkland Mansion during the half term? I can garuntee you Halloween will be like nothing yo have ever experienced before" Arthur said with a confident smirk.

"Oh Arthur darling, I would love to" purred Leon and they both burst into laughter.

Kiku shifted, he totally wasn't jealous. It wasn't as if he wanted to spend an entire week at a beautiful mansion in the English country side with his one true love Arthur and the incredible Kirkland family. He definitely didn't watch the Kirkland's in awe as they easily took control and made everyone realise just how behind they were, in pretty much every respect.

Yup, totally not jealous.

"Ah anyway, we're going to be late, meet me in our spot okay, Leo, Matthew? Tell Alfred and Vlad if you see him- oh and tell him I cant wait to see him and to stop hiding from me. I'm not annoyed" Arthur's babbling made Matthew go dreamy eyed so Leo took the initiative.

"No problem Art, don't sweat it" Leon grinned easily, patting him on the back and Arthur smiled.

"Thanks' Leo, bye Matthew" he gave them on last charming smile before going up the stairs with Kiku following closely behind.
