I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm at 9:45, the same as every single Saturday before that. Personally, I think I might have to change it. I rolled over and was greeted with a blinding light. I immediately lifted my duvet over my head to shield my eyes. I always forgot to close my curtains before I went to bed and it annoyed the hell out of me. I heard steps coming from the hallway and I felt myself groan.

"Mattie, you might want to get out of bed." My brother told me and he walked into the room and stood at the doorway. His voice sounded oddly low and depressing for him.

"Why? It's SATURDAY." I told him, throwing a glare in his way. He looked slightly angry as he just sighed.

"Someone came to see you." he told me. I lifted myself up a bit and gave him a questionable look.

"Who is this someone?" I asked, slowly dragging myself to the edge of the bed. He looked annoyed yet again and told me,

"I believe it must be someone awfully close to you." He said stared me down. I stared questionably at him and sighed.

"I'll be there in a moment." I told him, more like yelled probably but I heard him leave the room so I guess I did an okay job.

I slowly yet drowsily walked out of my room and went down the spiralling staircase. I walked down the green carpeted floor for a while before reaching the large entrance room. I looked at the open small wooden door, I felt my eyes widen and my face blush a little.

"Hey, Mattie~!" I heard Gilbert burst out. I stared at his pale skin for a moment before narrowing my eyes. I looked him up and down and crossed my arms.

"How did you find my house?"I asked him, he rubbed the back of his neck and laughed a bit. He looked down and I saw his face redden a bit.

"Well... I'll tell you that somewhere where your brother isn't around the corner glaring at me." he said, pointing to the said place. I turned around and saw my younger brother glaring at Gilbert. Yup, just as he said.

"Alfred? What are you doing?" I asked, adjusting my glasses a bit and staring at him with a questionable face that parents give when they find their children doing something wrong.

"Who is this?" He asked me, probably trying to get answers for the questions he must have been wondering when he opened the door. I looked at him for a moment before I felt my heart speed up.

"Why would you need to know that?" My heart was speeding up drastically and my face flushed slightly red. I whipped around as stared into the ruby eyes of the speaker.

"Because I'm his older brother and I have a right to know." he replied, looking over at Gilbert, scanning him up and down and coming out from behind the wall.

"This is Gilbert." I said, looking between the two teenagers, scanning each as they seemed to have quite disgusted looks on their faces.

"I know." Alfred said, looking from me for a moment before looking straight back at Gilbert. I looked at Alfred before looking at the floor.

"How?" I asked, shifting uncomfortably in my current position.

"We... used to know each ot-" Alfred had started but Gilbert had interrupted him with a growl. His glare was intense and shocked Matthew a bit.

"Gil-' Matthew stared but, yet again, Gilbert interrupted.

"Shut up!" Was all Matthew remembered hearing before Gilbert stormed out the door and he felt himself lean back and slide down the wall.


"I think I messed up again." a voice mumbled to the other teen on the couch.

"What did you do this time?" The other voice said, staring at the mumbling teen.

"messed up." The voice replied, placing his face in his hands as rubbing them up and down.

"I took in that much, but how?" The other spoke, slouching down on the couch and staring at the pale hands of the teenager sitting besides him.

"I... Can't tell you that." he replied, looking up and staring directly into the green eyes of the other. "I just can't."
