Alfred's POV
I was lying on the floor, obviously bored and I swear I've been staring at the ceiling for 5 minutes now. Seriously, that's how suckish my life is. It's a nice Saturday afternoon and what was I doing?
I just mentioned, lying on the floor!
I'm banned from going out of the house today cuz I was ordered to watch over the house. Parents are out on a date… again… And well, Mattie's got some extra work in school so he's there right now. All I know he'd be home late as well.
I groaned and started rolling on the floor out of boredom. When I grew tired of doing that, I shoved my hand inside my pocket and checked if I had any texts but groaned again since I've received none.
Text, huh?
I stared at my phone, dazed. I wonder what Arthur's doing. Probably work…I shook my head and sat up. We haven't talked since then, actually. Well, not that I'm sad about that fact. Just, well, I'm really bored right now and stuff… Er…
I stood up and looked at the wall clock that indicated 2:13 p.m. I went out of the room and went down to the kitchen. Opened the cupboard and grabbed myself a box of cookies (for later) before going back to my room. I turned on the television and as well as my laptop.
I grabbed the remote and continuously changed the channels, finding a good show or movie. But since all the movies being featured at the moment were all chick flicks I just decided to watch "Spongebob" in Nick. When the opening song finished, I turned my attention to my laptop and played some random Horror games online.
"…CLICK!"
After a few seconds of the game intro I closed the window. It wasn't cuz I was scared, alright? I mean, the game intro was so detailed and realistic! So I assumed the game was going to be hard! That's all. I wouldn't want to waste my effort on some… GAME! Hahaha…haha..
After a good 30 minutes, I'm back to where I started. Oh, wait, but instead, I was lying on my bed instead of the floor. Still staring at the ceiling! WTF, man!
I grabbed a pillow and covered my face with it. I slowly closed my eyes and decided I'd have a quick nap when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I got my phone and never bothered to look at the caller ID. I answered my phone with careless, "Yeeellow?" then winced at the answer I received.
"FRANCIS, YOU BLOODY DOLT! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU RIGHT NOW, HUH? IF YOU'RE FUCKING AROUND LIKE YOU USUALLY DO, I WON'T HESITATE ON KILLING YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE HERE! YOU'RE BLOODY LATE, YOU KNOW THAT? AND DON'T GO AROUND TELLING ME IT'S A WEEKEND! YOU KNOW OUR DAYS OFF ARE ON SUNDAYS, IDIOT! WELL? WON'T YOU ANSWER ME? DO YOU REALLY PLAN ON LEAVING ALL THE WORK TO ME?"
My eyes widened at the sudden outburst. I threw my pillow away and sat up.
"Wait, mister. I think you got the wrong numbe-." I answered in the most polite way I can but I was cut off by an irritated, "Bullshi*t! Don't play with me, frog!"
I raised my brow. He said "frog". Oh God… don't tell me…
Process, Process… He said, "Frog" and there's only one person I know who calls people, "frogs"…
Processing… He used the words "bloody" and "dolts"…
AND NOT TO MENTION THE SE- *cough* ATTRACTIVE BRITISH ACCENT!
DING DING DING!
"Arthur? S'that you?"
"Don't play dumb with me Francis! I remember you attempting to change your bloody accent! I won't fall for it anymore! But I might say, it's impressive how you're able to use such a believable Ameri..can…ac..cent….."
I laughed loudly into to the phone, "JESUS, ARTIE! THAT WAS PRICELESS!"
"Alfred? Oh, dear. This is so embarrassing…"
"HAHAHA NO WAY! IT'S WAY FUNNY, MAN!" I continued laughing until my stomach hurt.
"Shut up, Alfred! It is not! And dear Lord, I'm sorry you had to hear my outburst."
"Apology accepted, dude, but do you kiss your mother with your mouth? I never thought you'd curse a lot!"
"Oh shut it, git! Stop laughing!"
I bit my lip and forced myself to stop laughing. But I couldn't stop a huge grin creeping into my face.
"Alright, alright, I'm guessing Francis was his name, right? He's French, isn't he?"
"Well, I might say, you're correct." I wore a proud smile when I heard his voice sounding impressed. But he did give me a hint when we first met through text.
"So, wassup with the dude? Why you shoutin' n all, man? It's an awesome Saturday afternoon and yer actin' like that!"
"Dear God. Your use of words never did improve, huh?"
"Ah Shattap! I talk fine. So, wassap?"
"Well, I'm terribly stressed since that BLOODY FROG is late!"
"LOL (that's right, I really said 'lol') S'this his first time?"
"What? Oh gosh, no! He's always roaming around having random se-…*cough* He's always flirting around with all the human beings he meet!"
I suppressed my laughter when he stopped half his sentence and continued with a new one.
"I'm not a kid 'nymore, Artie!"
"Oh shush, that's not the point. Urgh, I just feel so pissed off with how- Urgh. Nevermind. How about you? How are you doing, Alfred? It's been a week since we've last talked and met."
I heard him chuckle when he said 'met'. It made me smile but suddenly, everything just came to me. I was talking to Arthur! Arthur Kirkland, the dude whom I accidentally sent my confession to. The dude I met last week and chatted with.
The image he sent me last time practically popped in my mind and my face started to become hot. Shit… Alright, brain. Act natural like how you were acting a while ago. Please, please, please don't make things awkward…
"Hahaha, well, it's funny cuz I was actually just thinking 'bout you!"
DAFUQ, BRAIN? Crap, crap, crap. That sounded so wrong,
"O-oh? Is that so? Well, alright then?"
Right after his reply, I could feel awkwardness starting to get to us. I tried to ask what he was doing and stuff but he replied with one word that made things even more awkward, "Work."
It took me a few seconds before snapping, "Okay, okay. I so can't take much more of this awkwardness!" I blurted. Somehow, I heard him giggle.
"Same here. It's your fault why it started to get awkward!"
"Whaaaa? Naw, it ain't!"
"Yes it was!"
"No way, man!"
"Well, you were the one going all, 'I was thinking about you!'"
I rolled my eyes and my cheeks started to get warm again.
"Well! I was just stating facts! And who answers one word to the question, 'what ya doin?'"
"Well, it was the truth! I wasn't doing anything else! So obviously, I was working."
"Psh, no way, you're talking with me. How can you be working?"
"Just so you know, I'm… uh, typing with one hand!"
"HAHAHAHA NO WAY! Impossible. You're not that epic."
"Oh please, I'm just that amazing!"
"Suuuure, Artie."
"Shush."
Suddenly, I heard another voice from the other line and at same time, the doorbell rang.
I heard Arthur mumble an, "Excuse me." before talking to the other person. I took this time to run downstairs and answer the front door. I turned my phone to loud speaker so I would hear if Arthur was done speaking to the other man.
When I was in front of our mahogany door, I grabbed the doorknob and turned it. As I pulled it open, I found a little blonde boy staring at me with cheerful eyes, "Hey there, mister! I'm Pe-"
"Hello, Alfred? Are you still there?" I yelped in surprise when I heard Artie's voice. I mouthed an "Excuse me" to the little boy and turned off the loud speaker of my phone.
I told Arthur that I had to go and he said he was going to say the same. I didn't really want to hang up but I guess I had to. When he finally hung up, I faced the little boy with a forced smile. I was a bit surprised when he stared back at me with worried eyes, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I bother your phone call with someone special?"
My eyes widened and I fought back a blush. I shook my head and grinned at him, "No way, man. It was nothing." I tried to cover but he shook his head as well, "It wasn't just nothing, mister! I saw the sadness in your eyes!" I stared at the boy who seemed determined that he was correct.
Now that I think of it, the kid awfully looked like someone. His sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, I gave out a chuckle. He almost looked like me!
I sighed and raised my hands in mock defeat, "Okay, okay, you caught me, kid." I winked at him, "I was talking to a very cute Briton! And I seem to like this person." The little kid grinned at me as he crossed his arms, "See? That person really was special! I'm correct!" he announced proudly.
I patted the little boy's head and laughed, he was so cute. He laughed back with me when suddenly, his expression changed, he looked somewhat sad, "I'm really sorry for ruining your phone call, mister…" he apologized, obviously feeling guilty.
That made him look even cuter. It made me go all, "AWWWWWWWWWW." in the inside. But I gave him one of my signature grins in the outside. I bent down until we had the same eyes level and pinched his cheeks. "Don't worry 'bout it, kid. I talk to her all the time." I lied. That whole sentence was a complete lie.
The blonde kid smiled brightly at me, "I'm glad then!" he answered. I stood up straight again when I notice him holding an empty jar. I raised a brow at him before speaking again, "You were introducing yourself, right?"
The little boy nodded his head, "Oh dear, I almost forgot! I'm Peter and our school's having a fundraiser. They say that the class who earns the most cash will win! And I really want our class to win! My duty here is to ask for donations in the whole neighborhood. But, if you don't want it's alright. The other neighbors never donated…"
I felt bad when he said none from the neighborhood donated. So I let my hero side come out and I pulled out my wallet from my back pocket. I pulled out two 1 dollar bills and dropped it in the jar. Peter grinned at me from ear to ear and thanked me.
There goes of what's left from my allowance. Man, I'm poor. But I just had to give it to the cute little boy. Let's just call it a… heroic deed!
"So, since when have you been roaming around the neighborhood?" I asked curiously. Peter tilted his head before answering, "Well, it's been hours… I think I started at 9 a.m."
"Whoah, you've been roaming for so long?" The boy nodded proudly, "I want our class to win!" he announced, determined. I nodded in understanding, "Hey, would you like to come in for some… cookies?" Oh, I sounded like some old lady.
Peter gave me a surprised look, "Cookies? Really, mister?" I nodded again, "Yeahp! A whole box of 'em! Want some chocolate milk too?" Peter nodded non-stop. He looked very excited when I led him in. Honestly, this was all so wrong. But Heyyy, I'm not some kind of pedo bear.
I led him to the kitchen and got him a glass of awesome chocolate milk. Then I remembered that the cookies were upstairs. I turned to him and asked, "Want to eat upstairs? You can play with my laptop or something. You can bring the milk as well." I told him. His eyes were as wide as plates, "Really? You're allowed to eat upstairs? A laptop?"
*Le gasp*
"Whaa? You're not allowed to eat upstairs? You don't know what a laptop is?" I asked continuously. Peter nodded his head, "I'm never allowed to eat upstairs. I know what a laptop is. My brother uses it a lot! And I'm never allowed to eat many sweets as well. My brother is very strict, you see! And we only have tea at home!"
"Tsk, if I was your big bro, I'd let you have an awesome life!" Peter laughed. "It's because my brother's always busy. Maybe that's why he's so uptight." I nodded with an understanding smile. I patted him on the head, "Do you miss him?" The boy wore a sad smile, "Just a little bit. But he comes home now and then for me. That's great, right?" I nodded.
I led him upstairs while I held his chocolate milk. I asked him to lay his jar somewhere and he laid it on my desk. I laid the glass of milk beside it and got the box of cookies that was lying on my bed. I ripped the box open and handed it to the kid. He got a one cookie and chewed it. It made me happy cuz I saw the obvious delight on his face.
We spent almost the whole afternoon playing games on my laptop and munching on cookies. Peter was so fond of the chocolate milk that he had three glasses. (I'll have to apologize to Mattie... it was his, actually) Right after that, we grew tired of the game and just watched TV.
While watching, Peter asked me a question that caught me off guard. "So what's the name of the girl you were talking to?" I raised a brow at him and smiled calmly.
BUT IT WAS FAR DIFFERENT FROM THE INSIDE! I WAS SCREAMING IN MY HEAD! WHAT TO SAY? WHAT TO SAY? 'OH, I LIED. IT WAS ACTUALLY A DUDE.'
"Allyson…" my original crush's name slipped from my mouth. Peter giggled, "Oooooh. How does she look like? Is she pretty? You told me she was British, right?" Argh… I guess I have to lie more. "Yeahp! She's a cute British girl. She has short blonde hair and bright green eyes." I told him. Oh God… I practically described Artie.
"Wow! She must be really pretty! I wish you luck…uh… I think I never got your name, mister." I burst out into laughter, "Oh God! And we've been hanging out all this time! I'm Alfred, by the way. Just, Alfred's fine." I winked at him. He laughed as well but was suddenly silenced when he was my wall clock, "Oh dear! It's already late! I'll have to go back. Will I ever see you again, Alfred?" he asked in a sad tone.
I tickled him and he was now uncontrollably laughing, "Of course! You know where I live, right? Just come here anytime!" I stopped tickling him and he nodded gleefully. "Alright then! Goodbye, Alfred!"
I led him back to the front door and he quickly ran away while waving at me.
I went back upstairs and fixed up all the mess. I went back downstairs and washed the glass. Oh, and can you guys believe this? We were able to finish the whole box of cookies! LOL we're epic! That's right, EPIC!
When I went back upstairs, in my room, I noticed that I never actually turned off my laptop. It was just logged out. I logged in and there was a sudden, "Whooooooop!". Okay, Skype users… you will understand. My account in Skype automatically signs in and the "Whoooooooop!" thing's like… I can't explain. Just try using Skype. It makes that sound when you sign in.
And I was notified that Unicornsandfairiesarereal A.k.a Arthur was online. Out of instinct, I clicked his name in my friend list and sent him a quick, "Yooo!"
It took a while before I was the he was typing back.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Hello there, Alfred.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Lol Yooo! Sup, bro?
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: I left work a bit early today and now I'm home, relaxing.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Relaxing? Haha oldie.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Shush, git. I've been through a lot of stress, you know?
x_ImTHEHerooo: So?
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: You're part of it.
I muffled a laugh.
x_ImTHEHerooo: SAY WHAT? Nuh way, man. I haven't even talked to you in like.. a week!
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: You're still part of it!
I laughed loudly. What the hell? How's that even possible?
x_ImTHEHerooo: Psh, can't stop thinking bout meh, huh? :
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Narcissist.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Shhh. I'm not :P
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: What's that supposed to be?
x_ImTHEHerooo: Oh, it's like.. the emoticon's sticking its tongue out.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: And I'm guessing you're doing that in real life?
Okay guys… that was the creepy part cuz I really was sticking my tongue out at the screen childishly.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Did I get it right?
x_ImTHEHerooo: Hah, no way, man.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Lies.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Ohkkkay. Change topic, man.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Okay then. Tell me your love story with Allyson. Just to be fair since I told you my… love story.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is he really interested in my love life..?
x_ImTHEHerooo: Well, Allyson has really dark blonde hair and she had hazel colored eyes.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Mhm. And? I asked for a story, boy. I never asked you to describe her.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Yeah, yeah. I was getting to it.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Then go continue.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Ok ok
x_ImTHEHerooo: She's like… real popular, man. Queen bee and stuff.
Well, now that I think of it… What did I like about Allyson? It's true she's popular and hot. Definitely hot… Was that all? She wasn't that smart… WTF? WHAT DID I LIKE ABOUT HER?
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: And?
x_ImTHEHerooo: I guess that's it.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: What? Well, that's really plain. I pity you.
x_ImTHEHerooo: It's just a crush. I mean, she's hot!
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Well, I was actually expecting more because you sounded like you were really nervous last week.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Oh, really? But I'm glad I had a crush on the girl.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: Oh really? Why?
x_ImTHEHerooo: Without her, I wouldn't have met you.
Unicornsandfairiesarereal: What? I-ah.. thank you. It means a lot.
x_ImTHEHerooo: Haha no prob. Sooo, wassup?
I read Arthur's reply. He said that he was just sitting on his desk chatting with me. No work and he mentioned he had a cup of tea to relax himself.
I replied normally, teasing him on how old he acted and stuff. But actually, I was exploding in the inside.
WTF, BRAIN? WITHOUT HER, I WOULDN'T HAVE MET YOU? MAN, THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOME KINDA CHEESY LINE FROM A FREAKEN CHICK FLICK! DUUUUDE!
I hit my head a few times before replying to whatever Arthur was saying now. Something in between, "I'm not old" and "Shut up."
At this moment, I let everything slip. I forgave my brain for acting like that and continued chatting with Arthur. We chatted for a long time, actually. But soon, he had to go ahead cuz his brother was there. He said he had to cook supper and all so we said our farewells.
Right after that, I shut down my laptop and actually decided to take a quick nap.
NORMAL POV – Arthur's Residence
"Peter! Where have you been? It's really late." The elder Briton scolded the younger. Peter merely smiled at his brother, "Oh big brother, you won't believe what happened! I met a friend!"
The young adult's temper decreased when he saw the bright smile on his brother and he was able to smile back, "That's great, Peter. What's the kid's name?" he asked gently.
Peter jumped excitedly, "He's not a kid! He looked about your age, brother! His name's ALFRED! And he's so very cool! He has this crush named Allyson and it's so obvious he's in love with her!" Peter rambled. "Don't you think that's hilarious, Arthur?"
Arthur nodded and smiled, when suddenly his mind processed what his brother had just said.
Alfred…
Allyson…
Oh gosh, was this his (friend) Alfred or another. It was just so ironic that the boy's crush's name was exactly the same as the American bloke had. He quickly shrugged it off and led Peter in.
The two went their way to the kitchen, "Want to help me cook?" Peter grimaced, "No, thanks." He answered. Arthur rolled his eyes and wore his apron. "Oh well, just tell me more about this Alfred bloke."
The younger boy nodded his head excitedly, "Alright then. Well, he said Allyson had short blonde hair and bright green eyes! Isn't that just gorgeous?" Arthur raised a brow. This must be a different Alfred for the real Alfred had just told him that Allyson had dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. Not green, and he never mentioned her hair to be short. He chuckled to himself; it would really be a small world if the Alfred that Peter had met was the Alfred he met weeks ago.
Then he suddenly realized. He had short blonde hair and green eyes. He felt his cheeks starting to burn as he shook his head. 'No…' he thought to himself.
'That's just impossible…'
Alfred's POV
I woke up at around 7 or so. I don't really care. I planned on cooking myself some dinner but I noticed I wasn't really that hungry. Too much cookies, maybe?
I looked around the room and there was a certain item that caught my eyes…
Peter left his jar here….
Hehe… this chapter's shorter than the first. Sorry if.. it's not really that good.
Hehehe, thanks for reading though~
