Here's chapter 2

Eyes

It had been 7 years sense that fateful day he found his parents dead and his brother so distraught. Alfred sat in his apartment he shared with his brother on the counter top thinking. He had been through a lot sense then. So had his brother Matthew but they made the best of it. Alfred now was an artist and his brother was a journalist. He looked up when he heard his brothers' car outside. Not moving from his spot he smelled another scent with his brother. It was one he never smelled before and that unnerved him slightly. Getting up and moving toward the door in a predatory fashion, Alfred growled lowly.

Outside the door Matthew smiled while walking up the stairs with his friend from work. Then suddenly he stopped and his friend bumped into him. But he didn't feel it nor mind it. He sniffed the air and realized his brother was right at the door preparing to attack who ever walked through the door. Feeling a hand on his shoulder Matthew snapped out of it and smiled at his friend.

Walking up the rest of the way the blonde placed his hand on the doorknob. Looking at the other blonde he spoke, "My brother is a little weird, so don't mind him. We can go straight to my office to do our research. He'll leave us alone to do so."

"It's fine Matthew, my brothers are pretty strange too." The Englishman said.

"Oh Arthur your too kind but seriously he's a bit off so don't think any less of me, eh" Matthew said before opening the door. Turning he came face to face with Alfred who stood at full height at the door. Jumping back slightly Matthew looked at his brother before saying.

"Al, move back Arthur and I are trying to get in the house." Matthew said pushing his brother away from the door then motioning for Arthur to walk in. Arthur watched as the giant blonde man was moved back. Walking in he looked at the giant blonde again who looked down back at him. Blue and green eyes collided for a moment before the Brit walked completely passed him.

"Oh, I should introduce you guys. Arthur this is my brother Alfred Jones and Al this is Arthur Kirkland he works down at the paper with me." Matthew smiled as he looked between the two. He noticed his brother sniffing the air around his friend and got a little nervous.

"Do you mind?" Arthur said raising a bushy brow. Alfred looked down again at the other man and sniffed one last time.

"Naw, not really. You smell good." Taking his eyes off of the man in front of him he moved back toward the kitchen. Having committed the Brits scent to memory Alfred sat back on the counter.

*A&A*

Matthew and Arthur sat in the office on the computer researching what they needed. Arthur stopped writing flexed his fingers. Matthew looked at the shorter male and smiled.

"You feeling ok?" Matthew asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just wondering what was up with your brother. He's been at the office door for over an hour staring at us work. I'm getting a little freaked out by his odd behavior." Arthur said without looking directly over at Alfred who indeed was watching them work.

Matthew saw the unease in his companion and breathed out a sigh. Turning toward the door only to see it vacant startled him slightly. That's when he heard it, Arthur inhaled. Looking toward him quickly Matthew saw his brother staring into the other man eyes. Quickly Matthew got up from his seat and grabbed his brother by his collar and pulled him away from the older man.

Feeling someone grab his collar Alfred, grabbed the offending hand in a slight death grip. Looking down and seeing his twin made him loosen his grip.

"Take your hands off me Mattie before I break it and you know damn well I will." Alfred said with a growl sounding like a wolf.

"Not until you leave my office and stop messing with Arthur. I didn't bring him here for you to harass him. Please Al behave." Matthew pleaded with his brother looking into his eyes. Alfred growled again but then sighed. Matthew let his brother go and smiled. Alfred on the other hand looked at Arthur who was watching them with interest. Then the blonde took his leave, leaving behind his bro and friend.

"Thank you, Matthew. Now let's continue our work." Arthur said.

"Yes." Matthew said.

*A&A*

As Arthur walked home he had a weird feeling that he was being followed, but shook it off as he continued on his journey. Once home he walked into the kitchen and saw his younger brother Peter reading on the sofa.

"Hey Peter how was school?" Arthur said while walking toward his bedroom.

"It went well." Peter said not looking away from his book.

Arthur just nodded while he walked, once in his room he started taking off his clothes and hanging them up. Once changed into his pajamas he sat down on his bed and ran a hand through his messy locks. He then shivered and didn't know why. Then he looked toward his window and saw a pair of red eyes staring at him. Rubbing his eyes he saw that the eyes were still there. That's when he saw it the eyes were closer than they were seconds ago. Moving away from his current position he began to walk backwards until his back hit his door. Turning quickly he exited his room and then looked back and saw nothing which he thought was weird.

Taking a calming breathe he looked down the hall and realized it was dark. Which was kind of weird to Arthur, he wondered if Peter had gone to bed but that wasn't the case.

"Peter, are you down there?" Arthur called for his charge but received no answer. Thinking it was rather off that his brother didn't answer him. He began to walk down the hall and heard muffed screaming. Which to him sounded like "Arthur", he then ran down the hall.
