Unseen Ch. 2- Matthew's…what now?

~In which Matthew picks up a ghost friend

~.

"I'm home!"

Silence filled the house after Matthew's call, save a pair of voices saying "where is everyone?" and "I don't know".

The blonde wandered through the house blindly until he reached the dining room, where he froze.

"Al? Arthur?"

The two men didn't so much as flinch.

Matthew waved his hand between their faces, trying to break their death glares at each other.

Still nothing.

"Well then, Gil and I'll just make ourselves some hamburgers and leave you two alone."

The pair flinched simultaneously and looked at Matthew's retreating form.

"Hamburgers?" Alfred mumbled.

Arthur rolled his eyes. "All you think about is food. A better question would be who's Gil?" His head tipped to the side. "Surely he's not that ghost next to you, is he?"

The standing blonde turned and grinned, but didn't reply.

"Damn. He is, isn't he?"

"What's the point in hiding it now?"

Alfred flinched. "Who was that?"

Out of thin air came an albino man who, based on his transparency, was a ghost. "That was me. Gilbert Beilshmidt, at your service." He floated up to the green-eyed blonde. "You must be Arthur. Hmph. Figures."

"What the bloody hell's that supposed to mean?" Arthur gasped.

"Most seers I've met are at least a little easy on the eyes, unlike you. You're an eyesore."

His jaw dropped. "What the hell?"

The ghost smiled and drifted over to Alfred. "And you must be Mattie's ass of a brother. I've heard about you. Ghost hunter, right? Hmm. Never thought I'd see the day."

"H-huh?"

"Never thought I'd see such a stupid hunter."

"Gil, stop it. You aren't being nice."

The albino smiled at Matthew "Sorry Mattie. Habit."

Alfred snapped to attention. " 'Mattie'?"

Matthew nibbled his lip as Gilbert smirked. "Damn right. He's my Mattie, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it," he said, wrapping his translucent arms around his shoulders.

"Al, I'm sorry. He… he just needed someone to care for him."

"And you decided to do it?"

Arthur grabbed Alfred's shoulder. "This is a good thing, Alfred. He won't cause any problems."

"Yes, Alfred. I'll be good. I can't really be a problem in a ghost hunter's house, now can I?"

Alfred sighed. "Whatever. Just keep your word."

"Tee-hee. On my honor."
