"Love, come lay down."
"Can't."
"It's about 7 o' clock in the morning, and you have no morning practice."
"I'm gonna go shopping today!"
"Oh really?"
"Yupp!"
Slipping on my favorite bomber jacket, I began walking to the door. I have this way awesome plan that's gonna totally rock your socks! If you're wearing any, that is...
"Wait a moment, I'll join you."
I froze, hand on the doorknob. My awesome plan could not comence if Artie went! That's the whole reason I didn't tell him about it in the first place! Think fast Alfred!
"Uh- well...I made plans to go with someone else!"
Arite rose a huge eyebrow in response. I began breaking out in a cold sweat. He knew something was up!
"I'm sure there's room for one more chap."
Damnit! Just as I ran out of ideas, the door burst open, and in came the Canadian.
"..."
"..."
"Eh?...Was I interrupting something or...?"
A heavy pregnant silence hung in the room. Arthur was looking pointedly at me, obviously expecting some kind of answer as to why Mattie was here - AGAIN.
He'd been visiting for almost every day of the past week, but you see he's in on the Hero's Plan -The plan- and so he's been coming over and helping me out on the deets. Deets is short for details bros.
"Ah...no Mattie! I was just getting ready!"
"...So you're going to go with...Matthew?"
"...Yeah."
I looked sheepishly to Mattie, hoping he'd get the hint that I needed some assistance in order to get Artie off my balls. Of course that Canadian didn't do shit, too busy studying a wall. Fucker...
"Is there any particular reason why you don't want me to accompany you?"
Artie had stood up already, hands crossed, and leaning on one hip. He was getting pissed, I could see that vein on the left side of his forehead popping out already. And I feel guilty -No- about not telling him anything, but this is something really important to me and I just can't let Artie mess it up.
"Well, uh...You see Alfred..." Mattie started but I cut him off.
"Mattie and I wanted to spend some time together!"
I lifted an arm around Mattie's shoulders and grinned at Artie to put him at ease. When I focused on him, a dark aura was surrounding him, and his eyebrows were downcast making him look scarier than usual. Just as he was about to open his mouth to complain, I pushed Mattie out the door, and followed him as if the Devil himself was on my heels.
"OkaybyeArtieseeyaloveya!" Was the last thing I said before, I hightailed it to my car.
.

Once we settled into the car, drove into the highway, and were a safe enough distance away, Mattie and I began discussing the Hero's Plan. Well, trying to at least.
"Alfred, I don't know. Wasn't that a bit rude?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"You just left him standing there, without any sort of explanation, and ran off."
"Well what could I say? That crazy mofo wanted to come!"
"He is your boyfriend after all."
"I know, but you know how the Hero's Plan's gotta go! I can't have him see the surprise!"
Finally, after surviving nearly an hour of traffic, I drove down the street and into the mall parking lot. Praise the Lord O' Mighty that there was parking. You'd be surprised how many hoes got up early in the morning for the sales. I am guilty of being one of those hoes~
"I know, I know but...I just have a bad feeling is all."
Parking my car, I opened the door and stepped out, mumbling under my breath.
"It's just cause you're Canadian."
"That's racist, eh!"
.
.

After spending all morning, and half of noon, we had finally agreed on what to buy. I thought it was beautiful, but Artie and I have REALLY different tastes so I'm not sure if he'll like it. That's the whole reason why I brought Mattie along. He and Artie are a little bit more obviously gay than I am, so Mattie should have a feel for what Artie likes.
No offense to Artie, and Mattie? Well...he's Canadian I can get away with picking on him.
"So you're sure he's gonna like it?"
"For the hundredth time Alfred! Yes!"
"Geez don't snap at me! I'm just nervous..."
"It's fine, we got his measurements and stuff, so there's nothing else to worry about but his reaction."
"That's EXACTLY what I'm worried about..."
Putting the present in the small bag they had given me, I stored the very expensive item inside my bomber jacket. It's one of the things I love about it- it has SECRET POCKETS! That's fucking badass, and if you don't think so fuck you. Nah, just kidding bros. I don't know you I can't fuck you. That's just unsanitary.
"Oh well look who it is!"
That voice...
"Artie!"
Mattie and I turned around to face the source of the voice. I took a moment to silently thank God I had decided to hide the gift in my bomber jacket. However my grateful mood was stopped short when my gaze landed on Artie. He was still perfect of course, he was not the reason I suddenly felt annoyed. No, it was the person next to him...
"Hey Kiku."
"Greetings Jones-san. Williams-san."
"So what brings ya both out here?"
"Well, seeing as you so RUDELY deserted me, I decided I'd go to the mall with someone else instead."
"Oh and so you dragged Kiku here in my place?"
Man, ouch. I had to admit that came out bitchy. Totally not my fault though! You of all people should know how fucking jeal- erm, I mean possessive I can be towards my Artie. Besides... Kiku is standing way too close for comfort. They're practically touching!
"NO! Ahem, Kiku and I decided we need to do a bit of catching up. I most certainly DID NOT drag him here. We are friends after all."
I stared down at Artie, then moved my gaze to the little Japanese dude next to him. I have nothing against Kiku, but by the passive look on his face I know he's secretly checking out Artie's ass. I mean, it is a pretty amazing ass...
I felt a tug on my bomber jacket, and whipped around to face Mattie. By that flinch I'm guessing gaze is more of a glare. Nothing like that one Swedish dude that's in my class though. Now that shits scary!
"Alfred, don't do this! You'll regret later on!" Mattie whispered, his nervous violet eyes flickering between an annoyed Artie to me.
I grinned, but it was painfully obvious that it was fake. Artie was trying to get me jealous, huh? Well if he wants a battle, I'll give 'em a war.
"Don't worry Mattie! We all know Artie over there can't afford to be without me."
Kiku raised an eyebrow at me, a small smile on his lips. He was MOCKING ME! I turned to Artie, knowing that if I stared too long at Kiku's face I might end up breaking it. I instantly regretted when I was met with a deep scowl, and a glare that could melt iron.
"Ha! Here I was thinking what an amazing person Kiku was, and how great of a boyfriend he'd be!"
I glared right back, my grin still in place. I wasn't gonna lose my composure to some half-assed words from my obviously jealous boyfriend. He started it, now it was my responsibility to end it.
"Funny, I was just thinking the same about Mattie!"
"Oh really?!"
"Yeah! Really!"
"Well isn't that just dandy!"
"I bet it is, Arthur!"
"You tell me Alfred, is it?!"
I didn't realize that with every word we said, Artie and I had stomped closer to each other. We were now literally in each other's face. Locked in a heated glare, Kiku finally stepped in. Gracefully pulling Artie away by the hand, as if he was a child.
"Arthur-san, why don't we go to that ice cream shop you were telling me about? I'd like to try it out."
At this, Artie broke his stare down with me to focus on his onyx haired friend. He smiled -Goddamnit that's one of my smiles!- and nodded towards his companion. He started off with Kiku in tow, but spared one last glare towards me.
"Goodbye Matthew. I hope you and Alfred have a swell time together."
And with a huff, he whipped his head back into place,resuming his conversation with the foreigner. The way he had said my name sent chills down my spine, and not in a good way. I felt anger, sadness, and jeal- possessiveness overwhelm me, and I nearly punched Mattie when he touched my shoulder.
"Come on Alfred. Lets go."
My mood turned sour, I nodded solemnly. On the way out, Mattie decided to take a short cut through the food court. Guess he was hoping that if he bought me a burger that'd it cheer me up.
In reality, it made my mood worse. I mean, I love a good 'ol burger as much as the next guy...well maybe a little more, but as we were walking out, I caught a glimpse of shaggy blonde hair. He was sitting across from Kiku, laughing and eating, seemingly having a good time. Man, did he ever smile like that when he was with me?
Maybe it was a mistake to buy him this 'gift'. Now that I think about it, it seems way too early. He wouldn't accept it, geez what was I thinking?! Mattie seemed to notice my dark aura because he tried assuring me that everything would be fine.
"It'll all be okay in the end, so don't look so down eh?"
Bros, my totally awesome Hero's Plan isn't going down the way its suppose to...
Not even gonna say anything...Geez I gotta get better at updating. After I finish this story ((and Matthew in Wonderland)) there shall be no more chapter stories from me! Waaayyy to much commitment.../shot
Well, sad chapter is sad, but don't worry! This was intended to be a humor story and a humor story it shall stay! For le fans! Anyways, there is no Kiku bashing or whatever. I like small Japanese dudes so don't kill me cuz I made Alfred kinda sorta a douche. In fact, in later chapt- /shot to prevent spoilers
Lastly but not least! The story should only last like 3 or more chapters, until its COMPLETE! Huzzah! |:D ((Party hat smiley face cuz FANCY)) So, if you guys could stay until then, well that'd just make you more awesome! Well enough from me, next chapter...well no promises but I'll be working on it! Ciao~
-Empress ((No more awesome empress till I get my shit together :V))
