Kage: Here's another chapter, I'll start working on the next request. It could probably be safe to say that updates during school season will come maybe three or four times a week? I'll try to make that mark. On vacations, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc. more updates will come (I'll try to do the one/two a day thing like I did during summer).

Thank you, SemeruGrimm (-Gives you a tissue- I missed you guy's too, and I'm happy you liked it! :3), BlackRoseGirl666 (Thankies! And I hope your mother is well, mine is going to have another surgery soon for her uterus and ovaries, there's something wrong with them I forgot what it was called but it could be cancerous… Q-Q My mom's getting herself better for this next surgery…), Aya-of-the-night (Thank you~ and I really should shouldn't I? Maybe I'll do that chapter soon…~), BlueRavenQuill (Thankies~!) for reviewing.

Enjoy. (ºヮº)৩

Standing outside the port behind him Matthew's eyes - long since gone dull - stared out over the western bay. Ships came and went, a hand - darkly tanned and warm - came upon his shoulder gently. Matthew allowed himself to be led away. Past the port filled with lonely sailors whom spend their time away with telling stories about their homes.

He remembers working at that port in this harbor town…

Laying whiskey down.

…

"Matthew fetch another round!" Matthew nodded getting the glasses gracefully before placing them in front of the sailors. Glasses of whiskey and wine are placed before them.

The sailors smile taking their glasses.

"Matthew, you're a fine boy." one of the sailors say as Matthew cleans a glass, the Canadian flushes smiling.

"What a good husband you would be." Matthew looks embarrassed by the attention but continues to smile.

"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea." at that the glass in Matthew's hand almost falls and with a wide embarrassed smile he excuses himself.

…

Matthew stares out the window the braided chain - made of the finest silver from the north of Spain - cold against his neck. A locket - dull against the chain from rust - bares the name of a man that Matthew loved.

Arms wrap around his waist and Matthew leans back. He feels guilty when a hand reaches up to touch the locket but it is a surprise when he watches the other kiss the locket. Matthew looks to the other in curiosity but he already left leaving him to stare out the window again.

…

There was a commotion and Matthew exited the port on that sunny day to see a blonde haired young man unpack gifts from far away.

He expected the man to take a rest but it was a surprise when the other was already making arrangements to leave.

"Your not staying a moment to rest, sir?" Matthew questioned as he found enough courage to approach.

"Oh, no. I have to return to the water." Matthew looked into the other's blue eyes and felt his heart skip a beat.

"Oh. I wish you luck on your journey." the sailor smiled before blinking and Matthew grew confused when he began to fish into his pocket.

"Here." a locket with a thin chain was placed into his hand and Matthew smiled, murmuring a 'thank you' as he held the locket close.

…

There is something he will never forget… Something that sailor had said after he confessed.

They had seen each other, talked together many times before and Matthew always relished those times. But what Alfred had said…

…

"You're a fine boy Matthew, you would make a good lover but…my life, my lover, my man is the sea." Alfred's eyes were soft and before he left he placed a kiss upon Matthew cheek.

…

Matthew misses the way Alfred's eyes shined when he told him his sailor stories, Matthew could feel the grey waves rise and fall, he saw its raging glory.

…

"We can't be together." Alfred told him. Matthew's eyes closed shielding its hurt and his lips wobbled as he raised a hand to cover his face. Alfred was an honest man, dear lord, he was.

Matthew had nodded doing his best to understand.

…

The bar's are closing and Matthew walks through the silent town, he holds the locket feeling his heart clench at loving a man who's not around he could still hear him say;

"Matthew you're a fine boy, what a good lover you would be, but my life my lover and my man is the sea."

Its almost as though Alfred were taunting him.

…

He enters the building closing the door silently behind him. But it seems as though he's never quiet enough.

"Mamma!" Matthew smiles watching as one of the twins run to him arms spread and brown hazel eyes scrunched almost closed because of his wide smile. Matthew kneels and hugs the energetic Italian child pressing a kiss to his head - making sure to stay away from the strange long curl.

Looking up to the other twin whom stays stubbornly on his spot hugging a tomato plushy in his arms, cheeks red, and lips in a pout. He huffs when his papà taps between his shoulder blades to get him to go hug his mamma.

Matthew keeps the smile on his lips one arm holding the brown hazel eyed twin - whom is content to snuggle into his side - whist the other it held open wishing for the other green hazel eyed twin to fill it.

Slowly the other twin walks but Matthew knows he wants nothing more then to snuggle his red tinted face into his neck as his chubby arms cling onto him wishing for him not to leave.

When the child is in reach Matthew hugs him close lips pressed to his crown and the tomato plushy in held clumsily in one arm whist the other encircles his neck.

Later after supper both children are tucked away and Matthew cleans the dishes whist Antonio dry's them.

"You miss him." Matthew pauses, head ducked.

"Its nothing to be guilty about mi amor."

"Yes I miss him, but I have you, Feliciano and Lovino I'm happy with this, I don't want it to change." Matthew says hoping for the topic to be dropped.

Antonio nods smile small and presses a kiss to Matthew's cheek. Matthew ignores the familiarity and turns his head so that the next kiss lands on his lips.

The rest of the dishes are left ignored as Antonio's passionate side comes out.

Matthew is happy with his life.

He hopes Alfred is happy with where he is,

Surrounded by the sea.

Kage: T-T Well the ending depressed me… And the some parts may be iffy and I'm sorry about that. -le sigh-
