"Artie? Matt? What the hell?" The door opened to reveal a stunned Alfred
Yeah. Except that.
Silence fell heavily over the room as Arthur shifted uncomfortably from on top of me. Alfred, meanwhile just stared. I really don't think that there are enough words to describe how awkward the situation was, it was like… super-duper-ultra awkward with maple syrup on top. (A/N So Canadian eh? Damn. I need to stop with all the Canada puns.)
"Alfred, it's not what it looks like!" Arthur said, getting up and walking towards him.
"What the hell Artie? Why are you and Matt…" Alfred trailed off, either he didn't want to think about what we were possibly doing, or his small brain couldn't compute the possibilities. It probably was a little bit of both.
"We weren't doing anything!" Arthur protested, but Alfred had already turned around.
"I can't believe you would do this, Artie." He said as he started to leave.
"Alfred! Wait!" Arthur ran after him, leaving me to sit all alone in the basement. Well this was just great. Not only had I probably caused a fight between my best friend and my brother, but I didn't feel guilty about it. That sounds a little mean, but it's true. I didn't feel guilty at all about causing Arthur and Alfred to fight. I know that I should have, but I didn't. For that brief moment when it was just me and Arthur, nobody else to bother us or come in between, and it had felt amazing. Arthur made me feel amazing. I think I must have told you how much I like spending time with Arthur a lot already, but that didn't change a thing. I still loved to have fun with him, I still loved him. And if being caught made me feel anything, it wasn't guilt, not in the slightest. I was glad. Glad that they were fighting, glad that Arthur could see how unhappy he was with Alfred. Wow. I really am mean.
But anyways, I knew that sitting here in the basement while the two of them argued their hearts out was not a good idea. I headed upstairs to get started on the French project I still had no understanding of (A/N Yeah… That does really sound like me…). The second I turned my laptop back on, I found that I'd been bombarded by messages, everyone seeming to have remembered that I existed all of a sudden.
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: MATT! How do you think you did on that Math test?
MapleSyrupLover19: Uh… I think I did pretty well, I mean, it wasn't too hard.
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: What do you mean it wasn't too hard? I didn't get the last question at all! Was the answer SUPPOSED to be a negative?
MapleSyrupLover19: No. It was meant to be a fraction…
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: Oh well, I probably failed anyways. What are you doing?
MapleSyrupLover19: Avoiding the couple who are arguing in the room next to me.
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: Really? They're at it again? They're like a fucking married couple!
MapleSyrupLover19: I know-
UneRosePourMonAmour: Matt! What's up?
MapleSyrupLover19 UneRosePourMonAmour: Hi Francis. What the hell is the French homework all about?
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: Remind me again, why are they still together?
MapleSyrupLover19 TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: I don't even know…
UneRosePourMonAmour: Do you actually pay attention in class? We just have to research the famous French person we were told to! Imbécile!
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: What are they arguing about this time?
MapleSyrupLover19 TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: Well, me and Arthur were hanging out…
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: and AND AND?!
MapleSyrupLover19 UneRosePourMonAmour: Don't call me an idiot francey-pants!
VokdaAndBloodstains: Matt!
MapleSyrupLover19 VodkaAndBloodstains: Hi Ivan.
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: AND AND AND?
MapleSyrupLover19 TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: Well, Alfred kinda walked in on us in an awkward postion…
UneRosePourMonAmour: FRANCEY-PANTS?! What kind of an insult is that? Es-tu stupide?
MapleSyrupLover19 UneRosePourMonAmour: Oh no. Don't go all French on me now…
VodkaAndBloodstains: I never got a chance to tell you about what happened in Russia now, did I?
MapleSyrupLover19 VokdaAndBloodstains: Don't take this the wrong way, but I kinda don't wanna know all the details…
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: AND?! What awkward position?! Don't leave me hanging, Matty-boy!
MapleSyrupLover19 The SuperAwesomeGilbert: Matty-boy?
UneRosePourMonAmour: Tu es fou! Penses-tu que je faire tout le projet et tu et Arthur pouvons ne faire rien?
MapleSyrupLover19 UneRosePourMonAmour : English…please.
VodkaAndBloodstains : So he was a few years older than me, but that doesn't really matter, does it?
MapleSyrupLover19 VodkaAndBloodstains: Ivan, I really DON'T wanna hear it right now!
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS!
UneRosePourMonAmour: C'est très mal! Je pense que je ferais tout le projet seul et obtenais une note plus bonne qui si je ferais le projet avec vous!
VodkaAndBloodstains : I met him at a party, and after a lot of vodka, well…
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: MATT! TELL ME EVERYTHIN RIGHT NOW!
UneRosePourMonAmour: Je ne sais pas pourquoi je fais tous les devoirs toujours!

Sometimes, I really just hate the internet. Alfred and Arthur were still arguing, and the only difference to me was that now I really felt the need to throw my laptop through the open window. I resisted the urge, and decided to get out of the house for a while. Get away from all my insane friends and go for a walk, away from any form of social media. If they wanted to talk to me, they could write me a letter for all I cared.
So anyways, I grabbed my coat and left. My parents weren't home yet, and I really didn't want to have to explain to them why our two lovebirds were fighting again. I went to where I usually went when I needed some time to think. There were usually a few homeless people wondering around and most of the time, it smelled of weed a little bit, but I liked the fact that nobody I knew would ever dare to come here. As soon as I entered the park, I started jogging. I guess because I'm kind of a nerd, most people don't think of me as the type who's athletic. I wouldn't say that I'm a star like Alfred, but I'm surprisingly fit for someone who spends as much time indoors as I do.
What I liked the most about running is that it meant that I could turn everything else in my head off for a second. I didn't have to care about the usual teenage problems that seemed to follow me everywhere I went. I must have run for hours, not giving a thought to anyone else.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" I heard a voice as I bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" I apologized automatically before catching the strong scent of pot that was coming from the man I'd just bumped into. I looked up and saw that he was a lot older than me, about twenty at least. He was pretty good-looking as well. He had green eyes like Arthur's only not as bright and he had blondish brown hair that stuck up in a way that could only be possible using copious amounts of hair gel. He wore a long brown coat and a blue and white striped scarf.
"No problem, it's nice to meet someone who has the manners to apologize anyways." He smiled, fitting the stereotype that all pot-smokers were relaxed and easy-going. (A/N Sorry if I offend any pot-smokers reading this, and to any of you who are against drugs, please don't comment about the evils of drug use. I actually know a couple of stoners and they're pretty alright people.)
"You're welcome, Sir." I replied.
"It's Abel." He said, extending a hand, which I noticed was gloved even though it wasn't even that cold out.
"I'm Matt." I said, taking his hand and shaking it. He had a firm handshake.
"You look like something's on your mind." He commented.
"If you're trying to sell me weed, I'm fine, thank you." I said, making Abel smile.
"No." He laughed, " I can just tell when people need someone to talk to. Let me guess, girl problems?"
"Guy problems." I replied.
"Need to talk about it?" He asked. I debated the idea in my head for a minute. Somehow, taking life advice from a stoner who I just met in the park didn't exactly seem like the ideal idea, but it couldn't hurt to listen, could it?
So Abel listened, quite well, I'd have to say, as I explained my predicament, and the horrors of the friendzone. He gave me the kind of advice I'd expect anyone would, telling me that at the end of the day, love was the most important thing, and that I needed to decide if I wanted to be happy and break a few hearts, or be a nice guy and die alone. He was easy and fun to talk to, and soon we got off topic and talked about other things. He'd lived in the Netherlands for most of his life, and got into smoking weed as a teenager. He didn't consider himself an addict, but he wasn't exactly a light user of the drug either. All in all, he was a cool guy.
"Matt! Is that you?" My mum called as I entered the house again.
"Yeah!" I called out.
"You're late for dinner! Where were you?"
"At the park, jogging." I called back out.
After dinner, I went to my room and logged back onto my computer, preparing to deal with the flock of messages that I'd probably got.
TheSuperAwesomeGilbert: MATT?! Don't log off! Tell me EVERYTHING!
UneRosePourMonAmour: *dramatic sigh*
VodkaAndBloodstains: Well, he made some suggestions, and…
I groaned, they were all still online and I wasn't in the mood for more questions.
MapleSyrupLover19 TheSuperAwesomeGilbert, UneRosePourMonAmour and VokdaAndBloodstains: I HATE ALL OF YOU! PLEASE SHUT UP!
