So this is a rather fast update this time~
To that reviewer who wanted to know if it was a good or bad ending... I'm planning to make this happy at the end. But how happy? Hm... wait and see.
I've planned this story out, it'll run to no more than 10 chapters.
January 2012
In which something tragic is hinted at, and Arthur won't see Alfred.
January 21, 2012
Dear Artie,
Today the weather was cloudy, and it's so cold. It reminded me of the weather over at your place, all cloudy and gloomy. Haha, it's going to clear up though, because American weather is too awesome to be all old manish like yours!
Do you know a spell to make winter just disappear? It'd be nice, because then I wouldn't have to stay inside and slowly freeze because my un-heroic heating system decided to break down. So not awesome!
Mattie says that I should go out more and stop holing myself up in my house with my video games and my *cdonalds. He says it's unhealthy, but I think he's being too meddlesome. I mean, honestly, is he my mom? That'd be you, always nagging me and telling me to "get my fat arse off the sofa" or telling me to "get off the telly, it's bad for your eyes".
At times like those, I look over to that empty spot beside me where you usually sit when you're visiting. Since you're too busy, I'll have Mattie come over soon or something, we can visit his… (here the pen trails and leaves a line of ink)
It's been three months, but I still can't. I just can't. It's too hard, Artie.
Hopefully I can visit you soon.
I haven't seen you since that Christmas party, and France told me that you left after showing up at my door, drunk.
Oh, and I got that Christmas present of yours. I'll… use it. Somehow. But why would you give me a tea set? I don't drink tea.
Mr. Whale sends his greetings from my upstairs bathtub, and Tony tells me to say "fucking limey". That's just their way of saying "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year".
I'll bring something nice for you, although you'll probably still not see me.
Always yours,
Alfred
I'm writing this as I sit in the wings at my school play, waiting for a scene change since I'm crew.
So read and review?
