Here is chapter 4, the next chapter should be the last one. Thanks,
R&R please
I waved goodbye to Bella who laughed and gave me a thumbs up "Go get'em tiger!" she shouted and I ignored the strange looks that others gave us. My goal was to talk to Arthur, there were only two more classes left for the afternoon. My mind rationalized that I had plenty of time to talk to him while I was in detention tonight. Shoving the voice to the back of mind, I was thrilled as I gained on the shorter blond rather quickly. Sliding through the other adolescents with ease, people usually would move out of the way, being taller than most of the other students tended to be an advantage. Yet what I wasn't expecting was to be shoved against a locker by a furious albino.
"Hmph! the hell!" I winced as my already abused head hit the locker behind me. Blinking quickly I realized that I was staring into eyes of blood red "The hell dude. What are you doing Gil!" that was when adrenaline pulsed through my veins. Those eyes were dark, those eyes were angry...those eyes were out for blood.
"You fucking bastard!" he snarled fists tightening in my uniform jacket. "I know that you are a flirt but to think you'd go after a teammates girl you are a fucked up bastard!" he spat.
"What in the hell are you talk-" I was rudely interrupted, pain radiating through my body. And I recognized the rusty taste as blood hit my tongue. "You boke my nose!" I yelped.
"serves you r-" WHAM! elation filled my chest as he slammed into the floor clutching at his jaw.
"Seves you 'ight dude, now what the fuck-hughhh!" I choked. Gil was fast, the fastest on the team and I should have expected as much, one minute he was on the floor and the next he had his knee in my gut. My hand flew up to cover my mouth, afraid that I was going to throw up the contents of my lunch."ass-" straightening quickly a hooked my arm about his neck and dropped to the floor using my weight to push him down. Screw trying to talk to him anymore, the albino was crazy and needed to be knocked down a notch. Acting people out of the blue, without any reason is very villainous, and as a hero it was my job to put an end to it. No school bullies on my watch!
"Vhat is going on!" a distinctive voice boomed through the hall 'well shit its Ludwig' Momentarily it became impossible to breath as my collar was grabbed and I was yanked into the air. This must have looked terrible to Ludwig, his brother was on the ground caught in a choke hold. "the hell are you doing to my bruder!" he growled and I barley had time to block the punch that was aimed at me.
"Ah go away Ludwig this is none of your business!" I snapped
"What are doing to my brother!" a voice normally quiet as a mouse yelled out.
"Mattie!" I protested in horror as I watched Mattie jump on Ludgwig's back arms wrapping around his neck.
"Put him down!" He shouted.
"Hell!" I winced as I was dropped to the ground.
"What?!" Ludwig stumbled back and gripped my brothers hoodie yanking him over his head and dropping him to the floor.
"Mattie!" I lurched to my feet as my brother hit the tile with a yelp of pain. 'that is it! fucking hurting Mattie!' Despite the anger that flushed through my system it was not my fist that collided with his face.
"Harming Mathew will not be tolerated!" Francis said the only thing colder than his tone was that of the artic. Fury lit up usually flirty eyes of blue, his features twisted in anger.
"Step back!" he grabbed him buy his shirt, yet was stopped as a text book slammed across the back of his head.
" Hey drop the french boy!" Antonio shouted and Ludwig whipped around grabbing his arm. "Eh don't touch me!"
'Potato bastard drop the idiot!" with that Lovino shoved into Ludwig with his shoulder.
"Loviono ve~ don't hurt Ludwig! Ludwig let them go! No fighting ve~" Italy whined yanking at his brother. The German teen dropped Francis and Antonio to the ground, stepping back from the two Italian brothers. My attention quickly went to Mattie who was standing up, moving forward I felt two arms wrap around my neck cutting off my air flow once again.
"Gil fucking let me go!" I shouted and groaned as he slammed me face first into the locker, releasing his grip. Turning around I threw my arms up over my face yet the punch never came as I heard Gil shout in pain and a body smack the floor.
"Knock it the bloody fuck off! Don't you fucking lay a hand on him!" a voice ordered with authoritative anger. I looked up quickly to see Arthur had pinned Gilbert to the floor, his knee in the center of his back. "Stay there or you will be suspended!" at that he looked over at me, a look of concern spreading across his features "Are you alright Alfred?"
"uh..ya" I stammered staring at the green eyed boy.
"good" he jumped up and headed quickly into the mass. Arthur is such a small boy, that nobody would suspect he had any sort of strength. He was wiry yes, but all of that was muscle. He reached forward grabbing the two Italian brothers by the ears emitting yelps as he yanked them back. "You two go stand against the lockers now! I will be handing out detention slips" France, Antonio you as w-"
"Arthur!" I stared in horror as Ludwig lunged forward. The German boy was still enraged and was obviously not paying much attention too who was there. All he saw was someone grab Italy and at that he swung his arm forward, fist connecting with student council president, sending him flying backwards. Leaping forward I dropped to the floor catching the Brit before he could make impact.
"Bruder!" Gilbert rushed forward
"ENOUGH!" a bag full of text books slammed into the albino knocking him flat on his butt. Elizabeth stood there panting, looking as if she had run across the school to get here. "Gilbert what the hell did you do!" she cried, tears of anger pooling in her eyes "Why did you start a fight?!" she snapped.
"Because he was moving in on you!" Gilbert shouted pointing an accusing finger at me.
"What are you talking about?" she said in disbelief, confusion crossing her face "Alfred hasn't done anything to me"
"But the rumors" Gilbert protested
"what rumors?"
" Well this girl said you and he were coming out of a janitors c-"
"Dude" I huffed underneath my breath as I heard him begin defending himself. I turned my attention back to Arthur who was sitting up rubbing at his shoulder. "Arthur are you okay?"
"Tad roughed up, but fine" he shrugged, wincing as he immediately regretted the movement. "What the hell was all of that about anyways?" he muttered as he looked at the mess of adolescents around the hall. His question was suddenly cut off yet answered at the same time.
"You stupid idiot!" Elizabeth shrieked once again assaulting the albino with her bag of books. "Alfred and I were doing nothing of the sort. He needed my help with something personal and since we are old friends I was helping him! We were doing nothing that could be considered cheating! I can't believe that you would be so stupid as to believe some high-school girls rumor! Do you not have any faith in me!? And if you thought that something was going on then why did you not go to confront me about it! Why did you have to go attack another individual! Your team captain and one of my closest friends no less!" she screeched, eyes ablaze, anger radiating from every inch of her body. I couldn't help the low whistle that came out under my breath.
"I am so glad that I am not on the receiving edge of that anger" I muttered and continued on at Arthur's questioning look. "Elizabeth got on my case once when I accidentally entered the girl's locker room...she is one scary chick." I sighed shrugging, that was when I realized that I realized that I was still very close to him. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and I stared at the adjacent blond, heart throbbing in my throat. He however was no longer paying attention to me, eyes trained solely on the lecture that Elizabeth was dishing out to Gilbert. I could tell that he was battling between either getting up and dishing out the discipline that the part likely deserved or letting Elizabeth continue to dish out the punishment on the German teen.
"You know" he muttered "I don't even think I'll lecture about this one, it seems like Elizabeth has all of that under control. Pushing to his feet he straightened up his uniform and crossed his arms, at this gesture everybody turned around to look at him, even Elizabeth stopped yelling. "Alright, all of you" Arthur said coolly "I have every right to write every single one of you idiots up for fighting, and the dean without a doubt would except suspension at this point. However" he sighed "Instead, I will be writing each of you a mandatory response, there is a school cleanup and bake sale here on Saturday that needs more hands. Each and every one of you will be required to attend and check in with me periodically during the day. Failure to do such will result in being brought before the dean and dealing with the school boards punishments. Each and every one of you will be receiving the paper before the end of the school day. Am I understood?" Green orbs slid over the adolescent bodies spread out about the hall, all staring at him "Thought so, now get to class" he scowled and with that turned on his heal and headed down the hall.
"Arthur is so mature ve-"I heard Feliciano whisper "But sometimes so scary" there were a couple murmurs of agreement amongst those sitting in the hall, but for me, I didn't agree. Arthur wasn't scary in the least bit, he was a guy who knew how to be in charge and how to delegate and he did just that.
"Alfred" a quiet voice broke my thoughts and I looked up to meet lavender eyes.
"Mattie" I beamed at my brother who cracked a smile back at me and offered his hand. Grabbing it I pulled myself to my feet with his aid "Bro, that was freaking awesome the way you jumped on Ludwigs back dude" I laughed and smacked him across the back.
"Eh, not r-really" he winced but smiled at me "H-he just needs t-t-o realize that the only o-one that can beat you-up is me"
"Pfft dude alright" I snorted and my eyes found themselves wandering over to the latter. Ludwig was standing there, almost sheepishly as Feliciano was whining about how the fight wasn't nice and how Ludwig shouldn't beat up on Mattie. The tall German blond looked over at me for a brief moment and gave a nod, his way of apologizing. I nodded back, you know because heroes don't hold a grudge. The hall began to empty as my fellow students began to head for their classes, we only had about ten minutes before the next bell. Then one more class, then…detention. I registered that Mattie was still talking to me and that Francis had also joined our little posse but my mind was gone dude, gone like my attention span during math class. I had one more hour, then two hours alone, with Arthur. What the hell am I going to do?
