CHP 8

AAAANNNNDDDD Welcome back ladies and gentlemen! Our commercial break is over now so lets return to our regularly scheduled programming.

The final school bell of the day rang, it was now officially the weekend. Gil and Mattie left their chemistry class and made their way towards the bus stop.

"So, ve still on for ice cream and a valk through the park, Mattie?"

"Yep!" Matt smiled.

"Awesome! See? I told you my awesomeness rubs off on people."

"Hehe, yes. I suppose so," This only caused Matt's smile to grow.

"Vhy are you smiling like zhat?"

"Oh I… don't know. Eh… ready to go?"

"Vell you don't have to stop smiling.. Und ja, lets go."

The two boys then took their usual bus to Gil's block, and once they had dropped off their backpacks at Gil's house, they left once more to go get their ice cream.

Little did they know they had two shadows each that followed them from the ice cream shop all the way to the park.

As Gil and Mattie walked, they kept moving closer to one another.

"Dont you think it's odd to eat ice cream when it's only like 65 degrees out?" Matt voices

.

"No.. not really.. Vhy do you?"

"No i guess not.. It's just that my hands get cold 'cause I have to hold it, and the breeze doesn't really help in keeping me warm either."

"Well, how about this?" Gil grabs and holds onto Mattie's free hand with his own free hand. "Any better?"

"Y-yeah," Matt began to turn a deep shade of red

Seeing Matt's blush also made Gil turn a bit pink as well, however he stayed quiet and willed it to fade.

"Hey Elizabeta, dudette do you need like a tissue or somethin? You look like you're losing a bit of blood there..." Alfred pointed to Elizabeta's nose.

"Oh no, I'm fine."

"Again? Elizabeta, everytime we see those two you get a nosebleed!" Arthur shook his head.

"Really dont worry it happens all the time when I follow Ludwig and Feliciano, as well as you two. Dont worry I come prepared." With that she took a tissue from her purse an pressed it to her nose. "Now c'mon guys! they're getting too far ahead!"

"You follow us?!" Arthur and Alfred whisper-screamed at her in unison, both turning red.

"You thought I didn't?" She asked innocently. "Puh-lease. You two are the most adorable little things when you aren't at each others throats."

"What?!"

"Oh nevermind..." She looked back out towards Matthew and Gilbert, focusing her camera on the two and snapping a few pictures.

"You take pictures and look at them later? Is that what I'm getting out of this?" Alfred asked

"My dear Alfred, you do not seem to understand the concept of future blackmail. Besides these two are so cute together. I wish they would just admit it, get together, and suck each others face off with kisses." she stated simply.

Alfred and Arthur looked at each other and gave the other a confused look.

"By the way, who's betting on who to make the first move?" she asked as an afterthought.

"Mine's on little Mattie and Artie here has his on Gil." Alfred stated.

"I see, well then, this should be interesting."

"Oh hey look! They're both heading towards our neighborhood!" Alfred remarked" Alfred remarked almost too loudly. ""I better get home before Mattie does. C'mon Artie we gotta hurry!"

He then grabbed Arthur's hand and they both began to take another route to get to Al's house without Gill and Mattie seeing them.

"Remind me again why I am going over to your house? And don't call me Artie!"

"Dude, it's the weekend. Plus it's also the weekend that you promised you would stay at my place over night and I promised we'd have fun. Remember?"

"When did I ever promise you such a ridiculous thing?"

"Yesterday, at lunch, under the tree."

"Oh.." Arthur blushed remembering just what had happened.

"Yup, you promised."

"Yup, you promised. And as a 'British Gentleman' you have a duty to your word. Riiight?!" Al mocked his boyfriend playfully.

"First of all, Alfred, your british accent needs a lot of work," Arthur remarked, "and second of all I don't have any clothes, I didn't pack any to spend the night. I don't suppose there's time to stop by my house?" He asked.

"Nope! But you can just borrow some of my stuff like last time. Now come on dude! We have to hurry!"

(No. I will not go into more detail about what happened under the tree. Imagine something fluffy and cute and a little smutty and Boom! There you go. That's what happened. Ahem... MOVING ON! I think its about time for a timeskip.. Blondie! If you pleeease..Give us that timeskip!.)

~~~~This timeskip was brought to you by a very, very hyper blonde-one!~~~~

As the two made their way towards their houses, they somehow became so deeply interested and engrossed in their discussion on Miley Cyrus's underwear.

How they segwayed into that topic, one can only imagine. I think it had something to do with the end of the world being the cause of a wrecking ball from space... But seriously, who knows!

Anyway, my point was that Gil and Matt were preoccupied and didn't realized that they had already passed Gil's house. Therefore, Gil ended up walking Matthew home, in a way.

As they approached his front door, Matt suddenly piped up. "Hey, Gil?"

Gil looked up at Matthew at the sound of his name from his place at the bottom of the steps. "Ja Mattie?"

"I, ehhh, wanted to.. tell you something.." A pink tint began to dust Matthew's cheeks.

"Vhat is it?"

"I, uhh just wanted to.." He trailed off.. should i just come out and tell him.. or... No i really shouldn't he probably doesn't even think of me like that.. but then again... "I just wanted to.. to..to thank you for the ice cream again. And also for hanging out with me." Im such a chicken..

"No problem. The awesome me has a great time hanging out with the awesome you."

Matt put his hand on the door, and was just about to open it when, "HEY BRO! You've finally made your way back! I thought Id have to be a hero again and send out a search party." The door was pulled open excitedly from the inside by none other than Alfred. A few feet behind him, Arthur was setting up a movie.

Matt jumped back a bit in surprise and almost fell, had Gil not been behind him.

"Guten tag, Al."

"Oh hey Gil! I see you are the sinister guy keeping little Mattie away from home." Alfred smirked and winked at his twin.

Matt reddened, "I'm not a kid anymore Al, for god sakes."

Alfred waved his hand dismissively, "Sure, sure.." He then turned his attention back to Gil, "I hope you arent dragging him into anything a loving and heroic brother, not unlike myself, wouldnt approve of."

"Uhhhh," Gil nearly choked, "I vill just be going now. See you tomorrow Matt"

"See ya Gil."

just as Gil was going, an irritated voice, belonging to none other than Arthur, could be heard from inside the house.

"Oh for god's sake Alfred, you are the farthest thing from a true hero and you know it! Now get your sorry arse in here and help me in my quest for the popcorn. Your kitchen is a disaster!"

"Aha! i hear the call of my damsel in distress! I must go! Bye Gil! C'mon Mattie! I need my trusty sidekick!" With that he grabbed Matts wrist and dragged him inside.

"WHAT WAS THAT, ALFRED?!" Arthur screamed.

"Nothing my dearest love!" Al replied in a mock british accent, one that had vastly improved in the time of his dating Arthur. He then let go of Matt to help his, D.I.D..

Arthur sighed and cursed under his breath, "Bloody hell."

With the odd couple distracted, Mattie took his chance and slipped upstairs to the solitude of his room to finish some weekend homework before writing in his journal, getting some kind of dinner and heading to bed.

By that point, Alfred and Arthur were curled up fairly comfortably on the couch together, despite Arthur's near constant little muttering how Al was way to obsessed with the Avengers and practically any Marvel movie.

Arthur couldn't help but stare at the adorable look on Al's face. "You're cute, you know that, right?" he murmured into Al's neck.

Alfred blushed a bit but then replied in the cheesiest way possible,"Nah, I'm not as cute as you."

Arthur giggled softly, almost like a schoolgirl, then turned his head. "Hmph."

Al then took the opportunity to give Arthur a quick kiss on his cheek.

Arthur's face was on fire as he returned the gesture by leaning his head onto Al's shoulder.

"I love you Artie."

"I love you too, git."

Well journal, It's been a full school week now.

A full week of knowing Gil, and he and I hanging out, and going out for ice cream practically every day after school. Despite the weather.

But for some reason, it never seems too cold when we go together.

But i guess that's also one of those 'side effects' Gil was talking about.

But I don't think his so called awesomeness has anything to do with this.

It's only been 5 days, but at this point, I don't think I can deny it much more.

I think I'm in love.

Dear diary,

I am awesome!

Today is friday, and it is the end of my first week of school in America.

I haven't really written in here during that time because every day I would have written the same thing, but in different words.

He's perfect.

Ever since I saw him Monday, when Ludwig and I were heading off extra early to school.. I just haven't been able to think about anything else. Other than school of course.

And even then, he drifts in and out of my thoughts.

I normally don't write about this stuff, but I feel like he's too important now to not write about.

He's too important to me, and I know that I would do absolutely anything for him.

It's only been 5 days since I've met anyone here, and there's still a lot of things I have to sort out. But there is one thing I'm definitely sure of.

I'm in love with Matthew.

Gil re-hid his notebook and pen under his mattress. With the past week's events and discussions, mainly centered on Matthew, still floating around in his mind, he drifted to sleep.

Ok guys I'll try to not kill the mood I just set...

There you go, the (hopefully) long awaited chappie numero 8!

Ok so I know the title doesn't make sense.. yet.

But I, the Majestic Radish, as well as the Blond One, here and now promise that chapter 10 will help it to make sense.

And that by chp 11, the amount of fluff within be overwhelming ..

(again, hopefully.. we haven't written it yet) and chp 12 will hopefully also be some sort of epilouge.

Please stay tuned for those upcoming chappies! We look forward to any reviews! We love critics and praise and any kind of feedback possible.

…

Words of encouragement are also greatly appreciated...

Bye!
