"Matthew!!" Alfred jumped towards his twin brother and nudges his head. Not caring that there were couple of eyes is staring at them, including you. Matthew sighs but smiled at him, as if he's used to this kind of treatment. "Al, what are you doing here? Usually you'll be playing games right now".

"What? I can't even see my own brother?" he put his hand on his chest, pretending the word hurt him. Matthew chuckles and lightly punches him in the shoulder, while Alfred gladly took the hit and ruffles his brother hair. Both of them of sling over each other shoulder and continuing their talk, completely forgot your presence until one of the player took notice of you. "Hey, isn't that's Arthur's pet?".

You froze for the second time. Panicking that they will come and mock you. If a fight they want, with words or fist, you will gladly accept the invitation, but for now, you're out of energy to fight them. Luckily, they come over and compliment on your heroic action towards the infamous Arthur.

"To be honest, she's kinda cute"

"Yeah, you're right!"

"Wanna hang out sometime?"

"No fair, man!! You already had a date!!"

You know they all mean well, but it's making you uncomfortable being surrounded by a group of sweaty players. Luckily Alfred save you from the situation. "Guys, guys. Give the lady some space. Obviously you're making her uncomfortable" he walks to you and sling his shoulder over you.

"What's the different with you?" one of them ask.

"I'm one of her classmate" he said with a straight face.

You sighed at his simple answers. Wondering how can a guy like him can be popular with such blunt word. Freeing yourself from his grasp, you stare at him blankly. "Okay, that's enough chit chat. Remember why we're here, Al?"

He smiled at you like a huge dork, then slide his way to Matthew. "This dorky, maniac hockey player and also the captain of the team, is my twin brother. Matthew Williams!!!"

"Twin brother? But both of them had a different last name. Maybe I'll ask him later."

You wanted to shake him, then your remember he was screaming his teammates like a hungry lion a while ago. So, you decided to just smile and wave at him, nervously. Alfred coughed to get Matthew's attention. "Um, bro. We got problems in our project, so can you like..." he make a puppy face at him.

Matthew sighed again, Alfred always do this to him. He took off his helmet and looked at his teammates. "Alright, I will inform you all when the next practice will be. Maggots, dismiss!!"

"Sir, yes sir!!"

"And take a shower!! I know some of you didn't take it yesterday"

"Mom, yes mom!!"

Matthew blush when they called him like that. The players laugh at their captain as they skiing their way to the locker room. "You idiots!!" he yelled again. He knew that it's no used to lecture them, almost every single day his teammates teased him. But that doesn't mean they disrespect him and he knew about it. That's why when he rubbed his temple, he crack a smile, not knowing that some misfits tried to hold back their laughter.

"Hey, mom! Let's get back to the library right now" Alfred said between his giggle. You ski your way to Alfred, a not so straight smile on your face as you lean over him for support. "It's getting late and we're hungry by the way. When's dinner??"

Both of you laugh like maniacs, making the poor captain blushes furiously. Without a second though, he hit Alfred's stomach using his hockey stick as a weapon. Alfred fell to the ground, turning side to side as he hold his stomach in agony. While you backing away from him, sweat dropped at the scene.
