Chained In Servility

TWs: Matt's father returned from buying the milk/abandoning him, and poisoning/affair/death/killing mention. Stay safe :)

Another day in England as everyone was starting to relax again. Pau and Pat managed to get their jobs back in order, which left Tord alone as always. Yan, You, and Clay debated moving to be closer to where the Black Army operates and where their friends are located; they're still getting things together.

Edd invites Tord to hang out every so often, just to make sure he has company- no other reason.

Today was one of those days as Edd prepared breakfast and Tord sat at the table. He was surprised that Tom hadn't complained about him being there; then again, Tom had been distracted recently.

Tord looked at Tom, who was on his phone and smiling, then he glanced at Matt, who was doing the same thing while sometimes giggling to himself.

He definitely missed something.

Tom and Matt were planning their date, which was Saturday. Then they got sidetracked with sending memes to each other.

While looking for another meme to send, Matt's phone rang, causing the others to look at him.

He looked at the caller ID, seeing that it was his uncle.

Matt answered, getting up to go to the living room, "Hello?"

"We have a situation." His uncle spoke, making Matt stop at the doorway between the rooms.

"Situation? What do you mean?" The ginger leaned against the doorway.

"The family kind." His uncle was exasperated.

"Oh no- did Katherine get wine poisoning again? Or did Henry have an affair again? Did the twins finally die- cause if so, it's about time." Matt rambled.

His friends stared wide-eyed as he chuckled to himself.

His uncle sighed, "Unfortunately, no- It's much worse."

"What is it then?"

"It's your father; he's back."

Matt paused, "What?"

"He's here at the studio if you want to officially meet him."

"Okay..."

"Stay safe, kid."

"You too, uncle." Matt ended the call, turning to his friends with a furrowed look.

"Matt? What is it?" Edd asked as he finished plating the food.

"It's my father..."

The others looked between themselves. Matt never talked about his father; they assumed he passed away.

"It's your call, Matt," Tord spoke, "What do you want to do?"

Matt hesitated, "I want to meet him."

Edd glanced at the other two, smiling abit, "Not without us."

"We've never met your uncle, Matt- what is he like?" Edd asked as he changed lanes.

"What do you mean?" Matt looked at him, confused.

"Your uncle- we've never met him."

'Oh, that's right.' Matt realized, 'They don't know he's my uncle because I never told them...'
