Chapter 6
Arthur fell asleep on Alfred's couch, Alfred had picked Arthur up bridal style and carried him to his room and set him on the bed. Then he put some of Arthur golden hair behind his ear then sighed.
"Damn it, what am I going to do?" Alfred asked himself. "I don't have any work today… and I can't leave Arthur here… hmmm," Alfred had thought long and hard.
Alfred sighed and walked around the house then he remembered something, "his cat!" Alfred looked through Arthur's pockets and pulled them out of his front pocket quietly then he had gone out the flat then to Arthur's. Alfred unlocked the door and found Crumpet sitting on top of the arm of the couch looking at Alfred with a confused look.
"Hey buddy," Alfred walked carefully to Crumpet. Crumpet as just looking at Alfred all confused then he was picked up and taken out the flat. The cat tried to struggle free from Alfred grasp then Alfred closed the door locked it and ran back down to his.
"Couldn't risk you being all alone, huh?" then he put Crumpet down then Hero appeared around the corner, then he noticed Crumpet, Hero had ran up to him and nuzzled into the Scottish Fold's neck and licking his face while Crumpet kept protesting about Hero's actions, but in the end he just gave up and excepted the affection that Hero was giving him.
Alfred laughed then had sat down on the couch and flipping channels and sighing in boredom he looked over and found the cats sleeping together. Then he heard his phone ring, adding another sigh he had unlocked his phone and looked at the message.
"Hey Al, Mom and dad wanted me to come over to England and see if you're doing okay on your own, it'll be a short visit, just a week then I'll leave. I'll be at the airport in London tomorrow 7 a.m.
See you,
Matthew."
"Shit," Alfred mumbled.
He looked back his phone then replied his phone.
"Okay dude! Thanks for the heads up, I'll pick ya up then."
Alfred sighed and turned off his phone and sunk into the couch, "what am I going to do?"
Alfred took a short nap and woke up to find it was getting close to night then he saw Arthur come out of his room and walked up to him blushing furiously.
"I'm sorry I caused you much trouble since we met," Arthur said looking down on the floor.
Alfred smiled and walked up to Arthur, "you didn't cause no trouble you actually caused the opposite,"
Arthur looked at Alfred, "what?"
"I never thought of having a vampire being my boyfriend,"
Arthur blushed, "boyfriend?"
Alfred nodded, "but I need to tell you something,"
"What?"
"My brother is coming over, for a week,"
Arthur looked at Alfred, "your brother?"
"Yeah I told you about him, remember?"
"Yes, I remembered," Arthur answered, "but why?"
"Parents worry about me so they send their goodie two shoes of a son to check on me,"
Arthur shook his head, "I thought you were a goodie two shoes too, considering you always call yourself a hero,"
Alfred was going to protest then had closed his mouth then smiled, "you win,"
"So when is he coming?"
"Tomorrow morning," Alfred stated.
Arthur only nodded, "what are you going to do?"
"Introduce him to you," Alfred said, "but he can't know you're a vampire,"
"Why not? You seemed fine with it,"
"Arthur my brother is just not into supernatural stuff and he might find it… hard to believe,"
Arthur nodded again, "okay, sounds fair…"
Alfred had pulled Arthur to his couch, "want something to drink? I actually have tea, just to try it wasn't my thing, so I kept just in case you wanted some if you were ever over,"
Arthur smiled, "I'll love some,"
Alfred nodded and walked in the small kitchen and made Arthur some tea and had pulled out a can of coke from his fridge and went back into the living room.
Arthur took the tea and tasted it, it wasn't that bad, just not enough sugar in it, but he knew Alfred tried his best. He knew because of the way Alfred was looking at him with a pleading look.
Arthur swallows the warm liquid and looked at Alfred, "I like it,"
Alfred's smile had widened, "really?"
Arthur nodded, "really I do," then he looked at what was in his Alfred's hand, "really," Arthur sighed.
"What?"
"Soda, at this time, really?"
Alfred looked at his hand and smiled, "what's wrong with it?"
"I mean… shouldn't you go to bed? It is night and you have to pick up your brother tomorrow,"
Alfred nodded, "I'll go to bed after this," and then he looked at Arthur, "what about you?"
"I don't know… wonder around London, I don't have work and you need your sleep, so I'll just leave soon,"
Arthur then looked up from his cup and looked into Alfred's sky blue, "will you come back in the morning?"
Arthur shook his head, "I might be sleeping, but I promise I'll come over at 5 p.m." Arthur said and finished his last sip of the tea and stood up then had two hands force him gently back on to the couch.
"I got this, you're the guest, so sit down I'll take care of it,"
"Really? Such a gentleman," Arthur chuckled.
"Hey I can be one, it just too much work," Alfred said and stuck out his tongue.
Arthur rolled his eyes and watched Alfred enter his kitchen once again and came back with a smile on his face. Arthur smiled at Alfred also then he had stood up.
Arthur coughed then had spoken up, "I guess I'll be taking my leave, so you can have a better rest," Arthur said walking towards Crumpet and gently picking him up.
As Arthur was walking towards the front door, Alfred stopped him, "wait!" Alfred had ran and pecked Arthur's lips, Alfred cleared his throat, "bye, see you at 5,"
Arthur only nodded and walked out the door with a face red as a tomato. He looked back at the door then walked to his flat, then he was stopped once again.
"Arthur!" Arthur turned around and saw his keys in the American's hand, "sorry I forgot to give it back to you," he smiled, Arthur returned the smile.
"Thank you," then he turned around and walked back to his flat.
Arthur unlocked it and rushed inside and slammed it shut, he set his cat back on the ground and having his cat look back at his owner.
"Boyfriend…" Arthur mumbled, and then put a smile on his face.
Alfred woke up to his alarm he slammed it with his hand to turn it off, then he rolled out of bed and landed on the floor.
"Ow," Alfred said quietly. He got up and walked out of his room and towards the bathroom to get a shower, brushed his teeth, put on a fresh set of clothes, and brushing his hair. He looked at a mirror, 'I wonder how Arthur gets ready, he can't really check on what he looks like,' Alfred sighed and opened his door, locked it and had got in his car and drove the airport.
Matthew had been waiting for almost 5 minutes until he saw a familiar face run up to him.
"Sorry dude… traffic… crazy…" Alfred explained breathlessly, then looked at his brother, "want me to take the luggage?"
Matthew looked at his bag and shook his head, "no, I'm fine," Matthew had said, but more of a whisper.
Alfred nodded and lead the way to his car and having Matthew follow not too far behind. Once Alfred had made it to his car and he had opened the trunk of the car and picked up Matthew's bag and put it in the trunk and closed it and went to the driver's seat.
Matthew was looking out the window as Alfred was driving on the roads of London.
"So Matt want to go and just relax and talk?"
Matthew nodded, "I think that's best, eh?" he whispered.
Once Alfred had parked his car in the parking lot he had opened the trunk then took out Matthew's luggage and walked into the huge building.
Matthew looked at the inside then looked at Alfred, "is this where you live?"
Alfred nodded, "yeah, but it's more like a apartment complex,"
Matthew nodded, and followed Alfred up the stairs and to a door where Alfred had unlocked it and walked in then held it open for Matthew, as Alfred was putting Matthew's luggage in the guest room. Matthew had looked around and notice it was neater, but a little messy, but for sure neater then his room back at his parent's house.
"It's cleaner then I imagined,"
"Well… yeah I had a friend come over before you here, even though it is still messy with the boxes," Alfred laughed nervously, then had gestured the couch, "want something to drink or eat?"
Matthew had sat down, "no," Matthew had smiled, "I'm alright,"
Alfred had sat on the couch next to Matthew, "so how's Canada?"
"It's… nice," Matthew whispered.
Alfred nodded, "I kinda noticed you gotten a little louder than usual because before I couldn't even hear you,"
Matthew blushed and smiled, "yeah, I suppose you right,"
Alfred and Matthew have been talking for some time, then Alfred had brought in some drinks, he handed Matthew's drink and he gladly took it and took a sip of it.
"Oh I forgot to mention that one of my… friends is coming over to met you,"
Matthew looked at him, "really, when?"
Alfred looked at his phone and it read, 4:45 p.m. then closed it and look back at Matthew, "5 p.m. he'll be here in 15 minutes,"
Matthew nodded, "can't wait to meet him,"
Arthur woke up and stretched and looked at his clocked, '5:10 p.m.' Arthur shot out of bed. He had hurried putting on his clothes and brushing his hair as best as he could. Then he looked at his cat, which was walking past him. Then he had grabbed his keys locked his door and speed walked to Alfred's flat.
He had knocked on the door, which had opened, "Artie!" Alfred had beamed at Arthur.
Arthur gave him a nervous smile, "um… hello Alfred,"
Alfred stepped aside to let Arthur inside the house, "how have you been?" Alfred asked.
"Um… I've been well,"
Alfred nodded, "well this is my brother, Matthew, Matthew, and this is Arthur,"
Matthew stood up and gave Arthur a funny look then had replaced it with a smile, "hello, my brother told me so much about you,"
Arthur blushed, "oh, he did?" he asked and looked at Alfred.
"That's right!" Alfred yelled joyfully and gave Arthur a pat on the head and sat on the couch.
Arthur had soon followed Alfred and Matthew behind. Once all three of them had sat down Matthew had whispered, "I'm sorry that you had to be put up with my nuisance of a brother,"
"Oh, no it's quite alright, I suppose, I mean he wasn't "bothering" me that much,"
"So you live here also?"
Arthur nodded his head, "Yes I live just a floor above him,"
Matthew kept looking at Arthur up and down, then he nodded.
"Um Mattie, is there something bothering you?" Alfred asked nervously.
Arthur looked at Alfred all confused then turned back to Matthew who was still staring at Arthur, Arthur coughed then spoke up, "um, are you okay?"
Matthew shook his head then smiled, "no, nothing at all, but I would like to talk to you Alfred in the other room," then Alfred and Matthew stood up and left Arthur in the room with Hero beside him.
Once Matthew closed the door he sighed, "Alfred?"
"Yes…"
"Tell me something," Matthew said then looked at his brother's eyes.
"Um… there's nothing to tell," Alfred said.
Then Matthew shoved Alfred against the wall, "bull shit Alfred!"
Alfred was surprised at Matthew's outburst and strength, "I-I"
"Nothing?! Is that what call nothing?" Matthew yelled.
"What?" Alfred said in confusion.
"That there is a vampire in the living room right now!"
"Ohhh…" Alfred said in realization, "yeah he's a vampire,"
Matthew sighed, "and you know what my job is, right?"
"Not a clue…"
"Alfred! You know damn straight what I do!"
Alfred had turned silent then he saw Matthew going to his bag and saw him pull out a gun, Alfred put his hands up.
"Wow dude, you going to kill me?"
"No, you idiot,"
"Then what the hell is that,"
"It's a gun that can harm vampires not humans,"
Then Arthur opened the door to see what all the noise about, once he opened the door he saw a gun pointed at him. Arthur's eyes widened and he just stared at the gun.
"Dude not cool put down the gun,"
"Alfred this is for your own good! Not mine, I'm only trying to look out for you!" Matthew yelled keeping his eye on Arthur.
"I don't care if it's for my own good! Put down the gun, you're scaring him!"
"So what he's scared! He's just a creature that loves to kill for blood!"
Without thinking Arthur dashed past the door as soon as Matthew was going to pull the trigger Alfred had pushed Matthew and barely missed Arthur. As soon as Arthur had ran he went to the door and ran out of the building and ended up at his favorite park, Regent's Park. Where he was before, and came back and rudely awakened by Alfred. Arthur frowned.
"He… betrayed me," Arthur said and felt a tear fall down his cheek.
