Unseen Ch. 4- Who did WHAT to the cat?
~In which Alfred and Arthur realize something's not right.
~.
A week passed. Alfred noticed that something about his brother had changed, and Arthur noticed how close Matthew and Gilbert were. But nothing really hit them until the night they went on a double date with their boyfriends Ivan and Yao.
"I told I could walk home just fine!" Alfred hissed as he opened the door.
"I don't see why you were going to walk home this late in the first place," Arthur retorted. As he stepped inside, he froze.
Alfred glared at him. "Because I was planning on drinking-"
"Alfred."
"Don't interrupt me! As I was-"
"Alfred."
"Stop inte-"
Arthur grabbed his face and turned it to face the rest of the house..
"Oh. My. God."
The house was a mess. The couch was in tatters. Shattered bits of glass were everywhere, and carved into the wall by a kitchen knife that was still in the plaster were tghe words 'Mad tea party'.
"I don't think God had anything to do woith this," Arthur said quietly.
Near silently, a tiny voice above them said, "Alice has been naughty. A naughty girl who broke the tea and spilled the cups. Such a naughty girl who came to the mad tea party."
"Matt?" Alfred mumbled.
"So long, foolish, naughty Alice.
Suddenly, a limp, bloody cat tumbled down the stairs, leaving a red trail in its wake.
"TABBY!"
Arthur sprinted to the cat, panicked for his pet.
"MATT!" Alfred ignored the feline and sprinted upstairs to his brother's loft.
The room was smeared with blood spelling words like 'madness' and 'insanity'. In the middle of the mess was a smiling Matthew. Blood coated the boy's arms and chest, deep gashes running the length of his torso and across his wrists.
"Matt!" Alfred grabbed his brother and clung to him.
"A-Al?" Matthew mumbled. He suddenly collapsed against his brother, weak from blood loss.

Arthur looked up to see Alfred walking out of the hospital.
"Is he okay?"
Alfred nodded. "They have him on suicide watch for now."
Arthur looked concerned. "Will you be alright?"
"I called Ivan, so don't give me that pity. I'll be fine." Alfred's face was contorted with anger.
"Look. Your brother would never do something like this for no reason. Whatever it is, it might affect you too."
The younger one relaxed a bit. "Sorry. I'm just..."
Silence streatched between them, during which they had a realization.
'Matt would have never done this...'
'Gilbert shows up...'
They looked at each other, shock in their eyes.
"Gilbert did this!"
