Finally Mine (FrUK Human AU)

Chapter 3

I woke up and forced myself out of bed. I didn't realize the time was actually noon. I've stayed up until three this morning due to stressing from what I saw last night.

I went downstairs and went into the living room of my townhouse. I sat down on the couch and opened the book I was reading to relieve some stress. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the front door.

I opened it and I was not surprised to see Alistair.

"Hey Arthur. Listen, I know what you saw last night but-"

"But what Alistair?! How could you do that to Francis? Especially with his own sister? He loves you with his entire heart!"

"Listen. It was not what it looked liked?"

"Not what it looked liked? I am your youngest brother, but I wasn't born yesterday! I knew what was happening clearly. You were cheating on Francis, and were about to have sex with his sister!"

"Okay okay. It might've been what it looked liked. But let me in and I'll tell you everything!"

"Fine, but you better tell me everything!" I demanded

"Alright."

We went into the living room and I sat down on the couch again, this time with him next to me.

"So, how long has this been going for?" I asked

He sighed. "Ever since a week before the wedding. I mean I've always liked Lucille, but I've been cheating since the week right before our wedding."

The wedding was five years ago. So this was for a while.

"For five years?! Why didn't you tell him in the first place, you idiot!"

I saw his try to hide his embarrassment underneath his brown hair that covered a bit of his forehead by looking down.

"Okay look. I'm straight! I only got with Francis because I thought it would help me get closer to Lucille, but it ended up like this. I hope he cheats on me or something. I can't tell him now, it's too late!"

"I mean, you and Lucille are close right now. Well, more than close! Why not tell him that your straight and you're cheating with her?"

"It's not that easy Arthur, you wouldn't understand. You've never been in a relationship."

I may have never been in a relationship, but I have read a lot of good romance novels!

I sighed "Whatever you say Alistair, but what are you going to do?"

"I... don't know."

"You don't know?!"

"Okay, but please. Don't tell Francis."

"I can't promise that."

"PLEASE! Look, it's going to tear everything apart. Maybe after a while, but for now at least, no. Please!"

"Fine." I sighed again. "But keep this under control."

"Alright. Well I have to go now. Thank you Arthur."

"Bye!"

I watched him leave my front door and get back into his car. God damn, what do I do now?
