~Alfreds POV~
After class was over I waited for Matthew to pack his stuff. Once he was finished we walked out of the classroom and off to our next class. I couldn't help but glance over at him as we walked. Something about him was just so...intriguing.
~~~ANOTHER ANNOYING TIME SKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL~~~
After school was over me and Matthew walked out of the hell and I looked over at him,"come on my house is down this way", I said as I started to walk right of the school. He ran up to me and sighed happily. I chuckled a bit,"its good to get away from things huh", I said as I grabbed his backpack from him and carried it. He blinked a couple of times,"yes it is...but you don't need to carry my backpack for me", Matthew said as he tried to grab it back. I moved away from his hand and smiled. "Yes I do! If I want to carry your backpack than I shall", I said playfully. He gave me a small pout and I'll tell you this...IT WAS FUCKING ADORABLE.
I could feel my face heat up and I shook my head. "Hmm? What's wrong al", he asked quietly. I looked down at him and said,"I'm fine...just thinking about something". He gave me an unsure smile and kept walking along side me.
Then I noticed his cute little curl on him. It reminded me of my cowlick and I giggled to myself. He looked up at me and shook his head and smiled. I chuckled,"what", he looked at me for a moment before speaking,"I don't know...your weird that's all", he said giving a bright smile. I began to blush again,"w-what do ya mean weird", I asked. He messed with the sleeves of his sweater,"its not a bad thing to be weird", he looked down and I think he was blushing!
I poked him playfully and he poked back and giggled,"how much farther to your house, eh",he asked kindly. I sighed,"maybe 10 more minutes". He perked up and started to run ahead. "Last one to get there is a loser", he giggled. I laughed and ran after him,"you don't even know where I live dude", I shouted from behind him. He laughed,"so?! You can show me", he said as he ran. Dam this kid for being so fucking adorable!
We both ran until I saw my house and I guess he could tell since I was looking at it as I ran and he headed for it. I smirked and ran for the door. I got to it a second before him...I think. Me and him both laughed our asses off for like three minutes. I wiped the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard and handed him his backpack. He took it with a smile and I opened the front door.
I walked in and into the kitchen. There was a note of the fridge from my mom. It said that she would be working late. AGAIN.
Matthew walked in and looked up at me,"what's up", he asked as he glanced at the paper. I told him what it was and he looked down,"well I'm sure your mom doesn't want anyone over without her knowing..", he said sadly. I frowned and replaced it with a caring smile,"trust me Mattie she won't mind", I said as I gave him a wink. He started blushing like crazy and looked down,"o-ok if you say s-so", he looked back at me,"wait...did you just call me Mattie?"
I gave a shy smile and rubbed the back of my head,"y-yeah...its your nickname I gave you...do you not like it", I asked shyly. He shook his head,"n-no its not that! Its just I'm not used to a nickname...and um for another reason but I don't want to talk about it", he said and looked down sadly. Then I heard him start sniffling. Oh no. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He slowly returned the hug. "Matti-...Matthew what's wrong? You can talk to me", I said, still hugging him.
"M-my...my mother used t-to call me t-that", he said between sobs.
I blinked a couple of times before realizing what he said. His mom was dead. "I-im sorry", he said and let go of me. I looked down at him and frowned. I pushed some hair out of his face and smiled,"don't worry...I understand...and I'm always here for you", I said. I saw him crack a small smile,"I don't mind...if you call me that...", he said as he looked at me with hopeful eyes. I nodded,"then I shall call you that!" He giggled and wiped the last of his tears.
"So...what do ya wanna do?"
