AN: hey readers! Sorry but this is a short chapter (-_-). I tried writing a little PruCan fluff in here thanks to the suggestion of Dragonfire78! I hope that it's okay and not so obvious that this was my first time writing fluff! Oops... i guess I kinda just gave it away...

Chapter 5

"Come on! You even admitted that you don't really blame Arthur! You said it right to my face!" Gilbert said as he sat on the counter watching Matthew clean the kitchen.

"I know, but when I see his face all the anger just comes out and I find that he is the only one to blame." Matthew muttered as he wiped the counter.

"And just think what Francis would have said if he had seen what happened between you two!" Gilbert continued. "I know you guys weren't really close before, but I think now would be a good time to get to know each other."

"But how? I can't even have a civil conversation with him!" Matthew asked frustrated.

"Well I remember how Francis, Antonio and I got really close..." Gilbert recalled almost to himself.

Matthew turned back to washing the dishes so that Gilbert wouldn't see him roll his eyes. For as long as he knew Gilbert, the trio were always super close. It was hard to imagine a time when they weren't.

"And how did the 'bad touch trio' as you like to call yourselves ever come to be?" Matthew asked with amusement.

"Strip poker." Gilbert stated.

Matthew caught by surprise dropped the plate he was washing and sputtered, "Strip poker?!"

"Strip poker! Ice breaker of the gods! And obviously it was my awesome idea!" Gilbert explained clearly proud of himself.

Matthew still flustered looked at Gilbert, "Strip poker? Is that your big idea to get Arthur and me to make up and get to know each other better?"

Gilbert ignored the question and instead kissed Matthew. "You know, you are so cute when you are so flustered!"

Matthew turned even redder but kissed him back. "You're such a hoser!"

"Oh am I? I don't even know what that means but it sounds like one of your Canadian insults!" Gilbert said in a teasing tone as he tickled Matthew's side.

Matthew shrieked and tickled him back until they were both on the floor laughing and kissing. A shadow that only Gilbert noticed fell over the two. Gilbert ignored it until a soft sigh was heard.

"Remember we are in a kitchen, so try and keep it sanitary!"

Gilbert slowly opened one eye and looked up to see Francis lying on the counter looking down on them.

"You've got to be kidding." Gilbert muttered.

"Is something wrong?" Matthew asked looking worried.

"What? I mean no... I was just..." Gilbert racked his brain for an excuse. He looked up at Francis who was making kissing faces and an idea came to mind. "Trying to remember different kissing techniques that Francis showed me."

Instantly Gilbert's face went red as his mind registered what he had just said. Francis burst out laughing as he fell off the counter. A thump and a groan followed by more laughter, that only Gilbert could hear filled the silence of the kitchen.

Matthew quickly stood up, "Well we better go see how Antonio is doing!"

Gilbert sighed, "Okay you go on ahead, and I'll finish the dishes."

When Matthew left Gilbert spun around to face Francis, who was laying on his stomach, his head in his hands and feet swinging back and forth in the air. A grin was on his face as he looked up at Gilbert.

"I hate you!" Gilbert spat.

"I love you too Gilly Willy!" Francis said teasingly.

Gilbert turned around and stalked out of the kitchen.

"Aren't you going to finish the dishes?" Francis called after him.

Gilbert came back into the kitchen muttering. He glared at Francis, "This is not over."

"So I have come to the conclusion that I have to take matters into my own hands and make everything fabulous again!" Francis declared.

The trio were in the basement hanging out after Matthew left. Antonio and Gilbert were playing video games as Francis lounged on the couch behind them.

"What are you going on about?" Gilbert asked, pausing the game to look back at Francis.

"Well, ever since I got back I have seen one fight after another and I am getting sick of it! So I have decided that I am going to make everything better, starting with you Gilbert!" Francis said jumping up off the couch to stand in front of Gilbert.

Gilbert looked worried, "And how are you going to do that?"

"I will teach you the ways of my home country of course!"

"Please explain."

"Well first off I am going to teach you how to have a romantic date..." Francis paused for dramatic effect until Gilbert gestured for him to continue.

"Then you are going to ask Matthew to marry you!"

AN: Wow I just said how I am so new at writing fluff and then I go and throw in an unplanned wedding... why must the characters always work on their own...
