Arthur ran up to his room refusing to take part in any of the conversation. It's not like his opinion mattered anyway! They were going to basically sell his boys! His babies. They adopted the twins as babies. They were his no matter what people would say. He raised them, fed them, clothed them, made sure they were safe. Now he just had to hand them off to vicious mob bosses. He did not even notice the tears falling down his face. He held a pillow and screamed. He needed this.

Francis was showing his brother-in-law's out when Allistor turned to him. He looked serious and hurt.
"Do you think he will ever forgive me?" Allistor asked Francis. Since Arthur moved in with Francis many years ago, Arthur had not been close with his brothers. Francis was the only one who knew him best.
"I-I don't know Allistor. He seemed so upset. He forgave you for giving him to me, but if you are wrong and Matthew and Alfred get hurt he won't be the one you have to be worried about." Francis says darkly.
"Let me deal with Arthur. We will be in contact." Francis says and Allistor and Dylan gave a curt nod before leaving. Francis saw his brother-in-law's drive off into the darkness before going to fix himself a glass of wine. He knew he would have to face his husband. He wasn't scared of Arthur, but he knew he was hurt by the decision that was made. He filled the wine glass with the ruby liquid before drinking the bitter liquid in one go. He washed the glass and started to turn off the lights before walking up the stairs. He heard Arthur before he saw him. Luckily the boys were already asleep.
"Arthur?" He calls out softly.
"piss off, you git!" He says angrily. "You sided with him!" He says hurt before bursting into tears. Francis rushed to a reluctant Englishman.
"You need to trust me. I will explain in the morning. We will tell them tomorrow. I'm so sorry my love." He says softly. He held Arthur in his arms as he picked him up off the floor and moved him to their king-sized bed.
"Please, Arthur forgive me." Francis says as he held the crying Englishman.
"I do." Arthur says in between sobs.
"Promise me one thing….they don't get hurt." Arthur says after he has calmed down enough to form an actual sentence.
"I promise." Francis says softly. He knew he would have to explain to Arthur what happened after he left. It is vital that they prevent a mob war.
