The lunch lady and the French teacher collect from their bet, happy with all the cash they now had in their pockets they decided that taking the day off and treating each other to dinner would be the perfect way to celebrate. Everyone who had taken part in the bet were finally talking about in in the open. It became impossible for the two of them not to hear something about it. At first the two of them believe it be some sort of joke, teasing them because it took so long for them, but when the people closest to them explained that it was a real honest to God bet with money involved they weren't sure how to feel. Gilbert ended up just feeling angry and Matthew stopped caring by day three.

At lunch Alfred and Lovino got it in their minds to actually sit with them during lunch. Mother nature thought it would be fun to rain and snow at the same time, it looked like the end of the world out there. They were all hoping that the power would go out so they all could go home. November was looking like it was going to be a awful month. "Hey Lovi and I are going to the mall later. He needs to buy a dress." Alfred said and this got both Gilbert and Matthew to look up from their trays.

Gilbert said nothing but Matthew on the other hand had a comment. "I would go with a bright red or dark green. Both would look very pretty on you." He said. Lovino covered his face in embarrassment. He felt the need to explain why he was buying a dress.

"Antonio wants to enter a dance competition but they don't allow same sex dance partners so we're dressing me like a girl so we can get in." He said and both Gilbert and Matthew nodded their heads. But Alfred just laughed.

"Hey remember the time I made you wear a skirt while I wore a cape that way I could pretend to save you like some kind of super hero." He said and Lovino rolled his eyes.

"Yes I remember, it was fucking yesterday, you are such a over grown child."

"Oh this is coming from the guy who actually went along with it with out putting any sort of fight up. Oh guess what, I just got measured at the doctors I grew again! I'm the same height as Arthur now." He said and smiled. Alfred had been very consered about his height since he started dating Arthur, the only thing that would possible get him to relax about it and stop drinking all the milk in the house would be for him to be taller. Matthew was praying for it, he needed some milk yesterday while he was cooking, but of course Alfred had beat him to it. The fact that his brother was finally the same height as Arthur gave him some hope, just once more inch and the milk would be safe.

Lovino rolled his eyes, he hasn't grown at all he was getting impatient for his own growth spurt. He wouldn't mind being closer to the same height as Antonio, he didn't care if he was a little shorter, or even taller. But he just wanted to be close to him, plus it would make dancing with him easier.

As for Matthew and his height he really didn't care, he had other things to be stressed about. Like the fact that he was actually wide in the hips, almost like a woman. Before he began playing hockey and started building muscle, it was really noticeable, he was teased quiet a bit for it. He dressed super baggy to hide it but that only made him look like he was scrawny even after bulking up. He still had a bit of a problem with taking his clothes off, in the locker room he always hid away in a corner to get dressed. He still cringed when he remembered at Gilbert had seem him in his underwear, but he also remembered he had seen Gilbert in his, he looked over at his boyfriend and wondered what he was insure about, he wanted to believed that there was nothing Gilbert hated about himself, but he knew everyone one had something that they wished they could change.

Even the most confident of people have something about themselves they hate, it could be something about how they look, or their intelligence, or even who they are as a person. Matthew let out a sigh and leaned against Gilbert. Alfred smirked at them. "So do you guys want to come to the mall with us or not. Come on it'll be fun." Alfred said.

"I don't see why not, its not like we had anything planed anyways." Gilbert said and Matthew shrugged he didn't really care what they did. He knew they would probably just end up ditching Alfred and Lovino in some store. Or they would stick around just for a little bit just to see Lovino in a couple dresses. "So are you going to shave your legs for this?" Gilbert asked, he actually wasn't teasing him, he honestly wanted to know. Lovino's whole face turned red and he looked down mumbling something under his breath.

After both Alfred and Gilbert asked him to speak up Lovino raised his head. "I already did." He snarled at them before standing up and walking away before any of them could make a comment. Matthew simply picked around at his food.

"I went to summer camp once and a bunch of the guys dared this other guy to shave his legs...so he stole a razor from one of the girls' camp and did it, he didn't know how to shave. He ended up getting five stitches in his thigh." Matthew said and they both turned to him with their jaws hanging open, looking horrified as they got a mental picture of some poor kid cutting his leg open. "He only needed the stitches because he kept trying, he couldn't figure it out. I remember when he came back he said he would never shave and would never get mad a woman for not shaving, that it was one of the most unpleasant things he's ever done, oh and he complained about razor burn for the rest of the week he was there."

"What the hell, why would he keep going?" Gilbert snapped and gave a visible shiver. Matthew shrugged and ate his food before going an clearing his tray. The rest of the school day went as normally as it could for everyone. There was a fist fight in the hall, apparently the Turkish foreign exchange student, told the Greek foreign exchange student that he slept with his boyfriend. The Greek's boyfriend stood at the side lines, watching the two battle it out, he muttered something about he didn't sleep with no one but a threesome sounded really good right now. Matthew was the only one who heard him and he only heard it because the Asian didn't see him standing right next to him.

When he met up with Gilbert at his car he told him about it he. They had a good laugh about it. Alfred and Lovino met up with them at the car, they got into the backseat, before Gilbert even got behind the wheel. Once everyone was in the car Gilbert turned on the radio to avoid listening to Alfred and Lovino, those two gossiped worse then a couple of old ladies. Alfred then leaned forward and smirked at them both. "So Gil are you taking my bro to winter formal?" He asked.

"Well duh, we're dating now so why would I go with anyone else. So who are you taking its not like the two of you can actually go with your boyfriends, are you two just going to go together or something." Gilbert asked in return and Lovino sighed. Gilbert had no idea what he had just done.

Alfred slumped in the back, arms crossed, pouting like a big baby. "Lovino isn't going, he's breaking our tradishion of going to the dance together, he breaking it just like my heart!" Alfred whined and Lovino rolled his eyes at him. He never thought Alfred would be so upset by him skipping one school dance, after all they still had plenty more in their future. He was going to skip this stupid dance and spend time with Antonio, they were going out to eat, and Antonio got tickets to go see Carmen.

Gilbert gave Matthew a look and they just hid their laughter. "Your brother is acting like a wife who caught her husband cheating her her years a go and still brings it up every chance she gets, but doesn't leave." He whispered and Matthew laughed and nodded his head. Gilbert was lucky enough to get a parking spot near the front entrance of the wall. The group of them walked together in a horizontal line, they went into the first store they saw that sold dresses.

No one stopped them from having a Lovino try on a few, one of the workers even helped him to figure out his size, according to her it was not unusual for them to have men come in. She was very friendly about it and even grabbed a couple dresses for him to try, she knew what to look for when it came to dancers. She made sure to find ones that covered enough of his chest. "You know what, wait right here, I know the perfect dress for you. You'll just love it, its black and has this lovely red lace on the bottom, oh you'll just love it." She ran off going in the back. She shoved Lovino into the dressing room and tossed the dress over the door.

Lovino tried it on and it fit him like a glove, the skirt part was shorter in the front and longer it the back, the longest part stopped just below his knees. He did a spin and twist in the mirror to she how the dress looked when it moved. He realized what he was doing and stopped, he opened the door. Everyone looked at him and he felt like slamming the door closed. "Damn Lovi, you have to get that one!" Alfred said and Gilbert nodded.

"You're legs look really smooth." Was the comment the slipped out Matthew's mouth. He could help but to point it out. This got Lovino to turn dark red and slam the door closed. After this Matthew and Gilbert left the store to wondered around on their own. The mall was pretty boring for them, they weren't the type that highly enjoyed window shopping or even actual shopping. They ended up sitting down together in the food court after buying some smoothies.

Today was nice even if the weather wasn't. "You should come over to my place for dinner tonight. My grandfather wants to meet you." Gilbert said and Matthew began to choke on his drink, he began couching.

"Your granddad...he wants to meet me?" He asked he was worried about it. What if Gilbert's grandfather didn't like him, what if the man didn't approve of their relationship, there were so many 'what ifs' going though his head. Gilbert stared at him he didn't think Matthew would be so nervous about it, then he pictured himself in his shoes, what if Matthew's father wanted to meet him. Gilbert only met the man once and it was just a quick hand shake.

Matthew's father was a business man so he was at work all of the time. He wasn't sure what Matthew's stepmother did. His grandfather owned his own car garage, his hours all depended on other people and how business was going though out the day. Usually when he came home he was covered in stuff and would be in the shower for hours. But tonight he said he would be home early and he wanted to meet the young men his grandsons were seeing. Ludwig was very nervous about it due to the relationship shared between their grandfathers. Gilbert wasn't worried, he saw no reason why his grandfather wouldn't like Matthew.

Matthew looked at him. "What time tonight?" He asked. Gilbert smiled, happy that he agreed.

"At six. I'll pick you up after five." He said and Matthew nodded. Alfred and Lovino ended up finding them there, Lovino had bought the dress, he planned on leaving the tags on and just returning it when he was done, this dance competition would be the only time he would ever be caught wearing it. They pulled up some chairs to the table to sit with them.

"Are you guys ready to leave?" Gilbert asked and everyone gave a nod.

"Could you drop me off at the dance studio. I was suppose to be there earlier but we couldn't find you, really was it to hard for you to tell before you just walk off." Lovino complained and Gilbert rolled his eyes and threatened to make him walk. This started a short but rather loud argument between the two. It was only short be cause of the near by mall cop wasn't about to put of with it.

The mall cop walked them outside and gave them warning about their behavior. Everyone piled into the car and they dropped Lovino off. Lovino went inside to see what Antonio thought of the dress and if it would be fitting for the tango. "Antonio I got a dress, do you want to see it?" He teased holding the bag up as he walked though the door.

Antonio was sitting on the floor, doing tow touches. Since he's been dancing his whole life he was quite flexible and he was able to lay on his legs. He looked over at him and smiled before he started laughing. "Lovi I was only joking, did you really buy a dress?" He asked and stood up. Lovino pulled the dress out of the bag and threw it in his face.

"I shaved my fucking legs for this shit!" Lovino yelled and stomped his foot. Antonio pulled the dress off of his face. He went to leave but Antonio took his hand to stop him. "You better let go of me, do you know how long its going to take to grow my leg hair back! I fucking saved down like a fucking swimsuit model. My arm hair, my arm pit hair, my damn chest hair, all of it is gone because you didn't tell me it was a joke."

Antonio never got to see the angry side of Lovino before. He was unsure how to react to it, he stood there. "Lovi it was just a prank. I didn't mean to...hey I'm sorry. Hey...wait right here." He said picked the dress of the floor and walked out of the room. Lovino stood there, pacing, he didn't know why he just didn't leave, he thought about it, yet he didn't even look at the door.

He grew impatient, Antonio was taking much longer then he thought it would take for him to put on the dress. After a little while Antonio returned wearing the dress, his arms, legs, pits, and chest all shaved down. Just as Lovino was about to ask where he got the razor, his question was answered. "One of the girls has one of those NoNos. She was going to do my make-up but I was afraid you had left." He said and Lovino stared at him.

"Idiot...make-up would have been to much, you would have looked like a bad porn star." He said and turned away from him. Antonio hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek. He saw Lovino's ears turn red as he blushed, he found it to be the cutest thing. Antonio kissed his neck and part of his shoulder. "Don't think I'll let you off the hook so easily. I'm leading today." He said and smirked.

…..

Matthew got around for dinner and waited on the couch for Gilbert to pick him up. His stepmother was setting up the dinner table. She looked over at him and his father looked up as well. His dad had actually cooked dinner that night and wasn't pleased that he made plans to eat else where without asking him first.

Alfred came running down the stairs. "Mom after dinner can I go see a movie with some friends?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Its a school night. Maybe this weekend." She said then motioned for him to help out. Matthew moved over to the front window, he was Gilbert's car turn onto his street. He yelled a quick goodbye and ran out the door before his dad could say anything about it. He ran though the front yard to Gilbert's car and got inside. Before Gilbert drove off he could see Mr. Williams watching from the window his father standing just behind her.

"Does he plan on telling me he's actually dating that boy anytime soon." He asked his wife and she shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe, I'm not sure. Maybe you two should talk about it, Matthew really likes Gilbert." she told him and rubbed between his shoulders. He let out a sigh and went back into the kitchen taking a seat at the table.

"I don't even know this boy, is he a okay kid? How old is he, does he have a job, all I know is his name." He told her and Alfred sat down in the seat across from him.

"Gilbert is sixteen turning seventeen, during the summer he works for his grandfather, hes in the grade above us, fluent in German, has a younger brother who is my age. Lovino doesn't like him but I think he's funny, he likes war movies and stuff animals, anything else you would like to know." Alfred said and they both stared at him. He just ate his food before he noticed them staring at him.

His mother was the first to say something about it. "How do you know all that?" She asked and Alfred responded with one word 'Feliciano'.

…..

Matthew looked over at Gilbert during the drive. Gilbert smirked at him. "Relax it'll be fine, he'll probably just question the fuck out of you and give you the evil eye. Just be you're self and don't call him sir, he'll go right into military mode if you do that." Gilbert said and kept smirking.

"That's not funny Gil, really what if he doesn't like me!" Matthew said and Gilbert squeezed his knee.

"He'll like you, trust me on this one. Just relax." He said and he parked his car in the drive way. He opened the door for him and Matthew sighed when he got out, he had to relax just like Gilbert told him, he took his hand walked with him insde. Gilbert's grandfather was already sitting at the head of the table. He stood and walked over to them.

Matthew stood up straighter as soon as he saw the man making a move and held out his hand in order to shake his. Mr. Weillschmidt shook his hand, his hold was strong and forceful. "I'm Matthew Williams." He said introducing himself.

Mr. Weillschmidt nodded his head and looked over at his grandson. "He's rather polite to be dating you...I like that. Well Gilbert you can show him to the bath so the two of you can wash your hands before dinner." He said and returned to the table. Matthew followed Gilbert to the bathroom and used the sink next to his.

Gilbert looked over at him. "Dude your hands are shaking. Calm down, he likes you. Don't worry, he never smiles he lost that ability." Gilbert said and Matthew nodded. He dried his hands off and they returned to the table, they sat on opposite sides. Mr. Weillschmidt had their plates already made up for them.

"How old are you Matthew?" Mr. Weillschmidt asked, it was just a warm-up question before he really got started.

Matthew answered this one with out any worry. "I'm fifteen." He said and took a drink from the glass of water. Gilbert started eating, he kept a close eye on his grandfather, he was ready to step in once the question got to invasive. Matthew took a fork full of potato to keep from having to say anything again real soon.

"So you are younger then Gilbert, you're a freshmen this year then. Have any brother's or sisters?"

"I have a step-brother Alfred, he's friends with Feliciano and Lovino. My birthday is the first of July." Matthew said and Mr. Weillschmidt nodded his head, he already had one of these dinners with the Italian, Gilbert didn't know about yet mostly because Ludwig wanted to keep it just between them, it had been awkward enough for him.

"What about your parents? What do they do for a living?" The questioning went on though out dinner, it was all pretty innocent, until his grandfather brought out the cake, that's when it started getting uncomfortable. "Matthew have you ever hit anyone for no good reason?" He asked and Matthew stared at him speechless.

Matthew nerves vanished and he became rather serious with Gilbert's grandfather. "Sir I used to play hockey and hitting does happen in that sport and I have punched someone before only because not only did this person threaten me but they hurt someone who I care a grate deal for. So I guess to answer you question I will have to go with no. No I have not hit anyone for no good reason." He said and Mr. Weillschmidt stood up from his seat.

"That was a good answer Mr. Williams." He then looked towards his grandson and gave a nod. "Gilbert likes to think I don't remember being a teenager, part of him is right, I did drink a lot back then, but I do know that you boys are young. You will make mistakes and you will learn from them, yes you will do things I won't always approve of. But as for you relationship I give you both my blessing. I only have one request and that if for Gilbert to be home by ten, no later." He told them and they both nodded their heads.

Before they could leave he had one last thing to say to his grandson before he left. "Don't think that just because I remember my teen years that I'll let things such as staying out late, sneaking out, or under aged drinking go unpunished." He whispered in his ear to keep from embarrassing him in front of his boyfriend. Gilbert gave a nod and walked away, taking Matthew out the door.
