Situation
The group stood in shock. The only sound in the room was breathing. Arthur's emerald green eyes were wide as he stared into the ocean blue eyes of the man. His stare was only interrupted when the man blinked and was trying to sit up. Arthur surprised everybody by grabbing the man's upper arms and helped him sit on his butt. The man used his arms to hide his neither regions.
"What just happened?" Vash was the first to recover.
"I have no clue." Heracles and Vash said together.
"I don't mean to interrupt your blond moments, no offence Vash, but can I please get a blanket and a towel over here?" Arthur said by the man.
Heracles ran out the room to find was Arthur wanted. Sadiq just stayed where he was and watched the two on the lift. Vash took an experimental step forward. He received a death glare from the unknown man. Arthur knew something was familiar about this man. His eyes were the man, his body length, and the way he was acting was all familiar. The man's wheat blond hair was slicked back letting Arthur drown himself in the deep blue eyes.
"Are you really Alfred?" Arthur asked.
"Yes." The man's voice was still raspy and it was the same voice in Arthur's head but it was rough, "You probably… don't recognize…me."
Arthur could not believe what he was looking at. The merman that was once covered in shark's skin and had a tail now looked like a normal human, a hot teenage guy or a tan god but a guy all around. He was stuck on how defined Alfred's chest and arm muscles were. Alfred's leg muscles were also defined as well. Arthur could only guess what he hiding behind his arms. Alfred kept his head up and watched Arthur's every move as well, out of the corner of his eye, the other men in the room.
"I got the blanket and the towel." Heracles said running into the room.
Arthur grabbed the blanket from Heracles when he came over. Sadiq took a step towards the trio on the lift and was met with a growl. Vash and Sadiq gave each other a look before looking at the man who was claiming to be Alfred. They watched as Arthur wrapped the man in the blanket as Heracles started drying his hair. Sadiq did not like it that Heracles was paying attention to a naked man, other than him in bed of course. He also did not like it that every time he took a step closer the man growled at him.
"Okay you have to stand." Arthur said. "Hera grab his other arm please. Alfred, I'm moving the blanket down to your waist so we can get you to stand alright."
Alfred just nodded and let Arthur continue. The blanket was slid from his shoulders to his waist where Arthur secured it to make sure it did not fall off. Heracles grabbed one arm while Arthur grabbed the other. Their joint effort was enough to hoist Alfred up enough for him to put his feet on the ground and himself the rest of the way until he was standing at his true height. Alfred was a head taller than Heracles and Heracles was an inch taller an Arthur so that made Alfred roughly the same height as Sadiq, five foot ten inches, maybe even an inch or two taller. He was wobbly on his feet and had to lean on Arthur for support.
"Arthur I'm tired." Alfred said resting his head on the top of Arthur's.
"Well you can't sleep on me, I'm not every comfortable." Arthur said.
"I don't care I just want to sleep." Alfred complained.
"We can put him in one of the rooms upstairs." Vash said starting walking closer to the trio but stopped in mid-step when Alfred growled. "Alright I won't go near you. Get him to walk on his own and bring him upstairs Sadiq and I will be waiting at the room."
"Alright, we'll meet you there." Arthur said. "Alfred you have to walk you know, so get off of my head."
"It's hard to walk. If you don't remember I used to have a tail I did not need legs."
"Well you got them now so learn how to use them."
"Fine," Alfred huffed in defeat, "I'll learn how to walk for the first time in my life."
Heracles had let go once Alfred was on his feet. Arthur pushed Alfred to move his leg. It took him a little but he was able to do it and move his right foot forward. When Alfred put the pressure on his right foot and tried to push forward his legs collapsed under him. Arthur could not look away from Alfred's form he was sitting on his calves, his back was slumped showing the muscles on his back, and his head was down. Arthur and Heracles helped him up again and kept their hold on him while they taught him how to walk.
After about ten minutes Alfred finally got the hang of it and was walking down the hall with Arthur by his side and Heracles leading the way. He wobbled a little and almost fell a couple of times but Arthur helped him right back up. Arthur had noticed that Alfred was starting to fall asleep while they were walking. They soon came to the hassle of climbing up the flights of stairs. Arthur had to put Alfred's arm over his shoulder and help him pull himself up the two flights of stairs.
"Arthur, the room is over here." Heracles called out once he was by an open door.
"Alright, we'll be there in a little bit." Arthur turned to Alfred, "You think you can walk the rest of the way."
"I think." Alfred nodded.
Like Alfred said he walked the rest of the way, wobbly though. When they got passed the door Heracles closed and locked the door behind them. Sadiq and Vash put themselves by the farthest wall in the room because they did not want to anger Alfred. Alfred closely watched the other men in the room because he saw them as a threat. Sadiq and Vash just watch Alfred was Arthur led him into the bedroom while glaring daggers at them the whole time.
"Arthur, stay with me." Alfred whined once they were in the bedroom.
"I can't I have to go back to work." Arthur said pulling the blankets over Alfred's shoulders.
"I'm used to sleeping in a pod, there are others there here I am all alone." Alfred huffed.
"How about this after finish work I'll come back to check back on you before I go home?"
"Why do you have to go home, just stay here with me?" Alfred yawned.
"I got stuff to do when I get home but I'll come in the morning with some clothes and you stay with me the entire day and not wonder off." Arthur felt like he was talking to his younger brother.
"Alright, I…trust you." Alfred's speech was broken up because he fell asleep.
Arthur walked out the room and shut the door behind him, "Alright he is asleep."
Vash and Sadiq moved away from the wall and went sit in on the couches in the 'living room'. Heracles and Arthur followed suit. They spent a few moments in silence, the only noise heard was breathing. Sadiq opened his mouth then closed it. Nobody knew where to start the conversation.
"What are we going to do?" Vash asked, being the first to break the silence.
"I don't know he seems to hate me and Vash." Sadiq said.
"But he seems to be attached to Arthur and does not mind Hercules being around him." Vash finished.
"He probably feels intimidated by you two and he is trying to scare you off." Heracles said.
"Why would he be intimidated by us?" Vash said.
"He probably thinks of you as dominate males. Alfred being a dominate male himself he thinks you might try to fight him for his position as leader." Arthur said.
"But why us and you two also, why is he sectioning us off?" Vash still need answers.
"Probably the why you hold yourselves, the aura you give off is probably strong, also you could be staring him in the eyes. In some species looking a dominate male or female in the eyes is a challenge for leadership and that's what you could be doing. Try not looking him in the eyes if that does not work try doing something different." Heracles explained.
"So you're telling us not to act all high and mighty and act like you two." Sadiq said.
"Yes that is what he is telling you so get it through your think head." Arthur said.
"And act like your queer ass." Sadiq countered.
Arthur shot up from the couch, "You're one to talk. You're a 'queer ass' just like me and Heracles so don't talk to me like you're at the fucking top of the damn food chain. I can still kick your ass to Timbuktu." Arthur's British accent was becoming full blown. He was storming out the room, "I don't have to deal with damn shit. Stupid bloody wankers."
Vash hit Sadiq upside the head, "You idiot you don't get Arthur mad."
"It wasn't my fault." Sadiq said rubbing his head.
Heracles smacked Sadiq on the other side of his head, "Yes it was." He said before he went off to find Arthur.

"Stupid git, has the nerve to call me a queer." Arthur mumbled under his breath.
"Arthur!" A voice called after him.
Arthur turned around to see Heracles running his way, "What?"
Heracles caught his breath when he reached Arthur, "I'm sorry about Sadiq's behavior, he can be a little…"
"Insensitive, I think that's the word." Arthur finished his sentence.
Heracles rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah that's the word." He kept up when Arthur started walking. "He means good but sometimes things just come out his mouth he does not mean."
"He needs to watch it though. All three of us are in the same boat and he has the nerve to call me the queer."
"Arthur I know you saw us earlier."
Said blond froze, "How…"
"I heard you scream. Sadiq did not hear it though so he doesn't know."
"Can we keep this between me and you?" Arthur looked at Heracles.
"Fine by me, come on we still got some work to do."
"Fine, fine but I really don't want to but I got to."
Heracles and Arthur were working on water examinations the rest of the day. Water samples from all over the state had come in yesterday and they had to be tested and cataloged. The testing itself was a hassle and the cataloging was hell on a computer. Arthur slumped back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair after he was done with his part of the work. Heracles was almost done with his half of the cataloging. Since so much came at one time it was easier to have two people do the job. A good part of the day already went by.
"Arthur if you're done you can leave." Heracles said typing away on the keyboard.
"I can wait for you because I really don't want to do another job today I am worn out." Arthur said.
"I just got this last sample to put in and we can go get some coffee in the lounge."
"That sounds great at the moment I need an energy boost."
When Heracles was done both men went to the lounge and talked over their coffee. Basically they talked about how Sadiq was a jackass and Alfred. They talked about all the unanswered questions they had concerning Alfred and what they were going to do with him. Hercules came up with the idea that they ask Alfred some questions and see if he would answer them.
Arthur looked at the clock, "It's time for me to clock out and see Alfred."
Heracles raised an eyebrow, "Why do you have to see Alfred?"
"I promised him I would see him before I left to go home."
"Alright be safe though."
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
Arthur went clock out before walking up the stairs to Alfred's room. He tried opening the door and found it was locked so he tried knocking to see if Alfred would open it up. To his surprise he was staring at the ocean blue eyes about a minute later. Alfred had the blanket loosely wrapped around his shoulders revealing his strong collar bone. Arthur could not look away from the sight before him.
"Sorry it took me a little to figure out the lock." Alfred said his voice like honey to Arthur ears.
"It's alright." Arthur said with a smile. Alfred turned around and started walking back to the bedroom. "You're still sleepy?"
"Yeah I am, I have no clue why though." Alfred leaned against the door frame.
"Don't go to sleep there." Arthur ran over to Alfred and put a hand on his back, "Go sleep on the bed."
Alfred allowed himself to be led to the bed. The thing that happened next caught Arthur off guard. Alfred grabbed Arthur's arm and slung him around. Arthur fell onto the bed when Alfred pushed him after swinging him. Soon he was staring to anger and lust filled ocean blue eyes and a larger body pinning him down. To say Arthur was scared was true; to say he was scared for his life was also true, to say he was also scared for his ass is what scared him the most.
Bloody hell! Arthur screamed in his head.
