Francis flung himself at Arthur with an overexuberant embrace, the Brit awkwardly patting his old friend's back.
"You're traumatizing him again, Papa," a younger voice softly admonished the Frenchman.
"But Mathieu," Francis pouted at his son as he rounded the corner with a quiet smile, "It's been decades since we saw him!"
Matthew waved off his fluttering father and offered Arthur a shy smile. "Welcome back, Uncle Arthur."
Arthur couldn't help smiling back at the mild-mannered teen, crossing the threshold and following the two into their comfortable memories of home.
"It's good to see you two again."
He'd missed them.

Author's Note: To clarify, they aren't actually brothers; Matthew simply calling him uncle in the way you'd consider a close family friend part of your family. Also! I know it would be more technically correct to name Matthew Mathieu as they are French for the purposes of this story, but...honestly...I know I'd forget eventually and it'd drive me crazy, so I'm just kinda giving myself a pass on that.
