Chapter 14: Francis and Allistor Become Friends
Arthur was bristling speed walking from the store. Two guys followed him still flirting up a storm. No matter how many times he denied them they kept pushing. He had walked down the road to get some drinks for the house. He now had said drinks but also had two freaks as well.
"Come on," one pressed grabbing his wrist.
"I SAID NO," he roared about to punch him.
"Do you not understand the meaning of no," a voice asked as a hand removed his from Arthur's arm.
"That's gold coming from you."
"You seem to have me mistaken for trash. I spread love to people willing and it's not about sex or anything like that. Just love in general to show someone loves them. I never disregard someone's feelings like you two. No means no. You touch him again and we'll have problems. People like you are disgusting," he said venomously as he shoved the pair away. "Come along Arthur I'll walk you home."
"Hey," Arthur said peering over at him as he guided him along protectively. "Thank you, Francis."
"No problem. No one should force affection on people. I know I seem like the type when I'm overly excited about something. Which is why your brother seems to hate me. Because he thinks I'm like those two. I'm not like them, I promise you that. I simply thought you were adorable and wanted to be your friend."
"I know that, and Allistor doesn't hate you. He is just overprotective. You guys should talk it out."
"I'm sure he wouldn't want too."
"Oh please. You just helped me out. He'll practically worship you now," Arthur smirked.
"The fact you know what power you hold over him is very bad," Francis laughed.
"Come on let's go talk to him and settle this misunderstanding. You seem somewhat cool so let's be friends!"
"Somewhat?! Somewhat?! I am the definition of cool," he said in fake offense.
"No," Arthur denied. "That's Gilbert," he corrected.
"No Gilbert only accepts the word awesome to describe him."
"Regardless he is just cool. Ludwig is awesome," he insisted.
"He would have a fit if he heard you say that. Then Ludwig would just laugh at him."
"Wouldn't we all though," Arthur teased.
"Well…..More than likely."
"See? You'll fit in just fine with my family."
"Let's home I can make a good impression this time."
"Just don't seem like you're on drugs. Like Alfred seems to be."
"Wait….He isn't on drugs," Francis asked startled.
"I TOLD HIM EVERYONE THINKS IT! HE SAID IT WAS JUST MY FAMILY AND LUDWIG'S FAMILY THAT THINKS IT!"
"He acts like he snorted a line of cocaine every day!"
"I'm so telling him I was right and he was wrong," Arthur grinned in victory.
"You do that. I will back you up," he laughed as they made it to Arthur's house. "Are you sure about this?"
"He'll like you I promise. If he behaves meanly I'll beat him up," Arthur said determined at the end.
"Don't beat him up," he laughed knowing the little blonde would in fact pound on his brother.
"Allistor I brought a guest," he cheered ushering Francis in.
Allistor looked at the pair then narrowed his eyes dangerously. Arthur put an arm around Francis as he trembled slightly. Those eyes were promising his death if he made the wrong move.
"Allistor Francis made two guys beat it! They wouldn't leave me alone and kept harassing me and flirting! He scared them away," Arthur cheered.
"Him," he asked in disbelief.
"He only spreads love to those willing you misunderstood him. It's also not about romantic love he just wants to be there for people. No shut up and get to know Francis," he scolded.
"Fine I'll give him another chance. But he even looks at you the wrong way he's dead," he sighed.
"That means he accepts you," Arthur told Francis.
"I still feel very disliked," he deadpanned.
"That's just because he likes to intimidate new people. He's a real softy once you get to know him. Just ask anyone that knows him. They'll tell you he's a softie as well," Arthur dismissed shoving him to the couch and left the pair alone.
"I apologize for our first meeting. You got the wrong idea of me I promise. I'm not some asshole that goes around forcing myself on people. He was just so cute I was excited. I didn't mean anything bad by it," he said to Allistor softly after a couple of minutes of silence.
"I'm sorry too. I may have gone overboard by punching you and threatening you. I'm just protective over my family so I react negatively quicker."
"Can we start over," Francis asked hesitantly wondering if he would be yelled at.
"Sure," Allistor nodded.
"Thank you. You won't regret it," he smiled brightly.
"I hope so. Otherwise your ass is kicked," Allistor smirked.
"YAY HAPPY ENDING," Arthur cheered pouncing on them making them crack up.
"It's all thanks to you. If you don't mind Arthur can you introduce me to the rest of your family? I want to be everyone's friend," Francis beamed.
"Alright! Come on frog let's go!"
"Frog?!"
"You're French so you like to eat frogs, right?"
"No! Not every French person likes frog legs you know," he chided.
"So, your new nickname is definitely frog now. It makes it even funnier," Allistor smirked.
"Don't encourage him," he whined as he was dragged off.
Allistor smiled to himself. Maybe Francis wasn't so bad after all. Maybe he really did get the wrong impression of him.
Poor Francis what has he gotten himself into? I hope you enjoyed! I really wanted to progress their relationship since its been awhile since I had Francis in the story.
