~Matthew's pov~

I rubbed my eyes,"i-im not sure...whatever you w-want to do is fine with me", I said looking up at the other male. "Ok",he smiled,"hmm let's see...", he brought his hand up to his chin while he thought. I giggled at how funny he looked.

He finally perked up a bit. "Hm?", i asked softly. He smiled happily,"we can play a video game! A Nintendo game to be exact. But uh...I don't kniw which one." He said pursing his lips. He looked so childish. It was kinda..cute. I shook my head and walked over to him and sat next to him on the floor. There were a few Super Mario games along with some other games. I saw Super Smash Bros and pointed at it. "That one?" I asked with a small smile. He nodded. "Know how to play?" He asked. I had actually never played the game...but i had always wanted to. I looked down twiddling my thumbs. "Uhm..n-no actually..", i said shyly. It was somewhat stupid of me to pick a game I didnt even know how to play.

"Then I'll teach you"

I turned my head to face Alfred,"...you'll.. You will?", i asked kind of shocked. No one has even really ever offered to help me. Unless they wanted something from me...and I won't go into detail of what they wanted. Yet, all Alfred has been is nice to me. He wouldn't do anything like that. Would he?

I smiled,"of course, it'll be fun!", I said enthusiastically. He chuckled a bit and nodded. I did a small "yay" before setting up the game. I thought it would be really fun to teach Matthew. I handed him a controller and got my own as the game started. Soon, we picked out our character. He chose pikachu while I chose toon link. I let him pick the stage and the battle began!....Almost.

He looked over at me and tilted his head. I nodded and took his controller. I cleared my throat a bit and showed him what each button did for his character. "And this is your up B. You use this to help you get back up on the stage if you fall.", I said before handing him back his controller. He still looked a bit confused, but also confident.

He tried to hit me a few times, and I let him. He looked pretty happy as he played. It..no..nevermind.

Matthews pov
I had gotten the hang of using the controls. I even hit Alfred a few times! It was possibly the most fun I had in years.

Soon, the round ended and I got to chose a new character. I decided to chose ice climbers. Right when we were about to start another round, I could hear ny phone ringing. Who the hell was calling me? "Ugh..one second", i said before grabbing it and walking to a seperate room, the bathroom.

"H-hello?"
"Where the hell are you, boy?!", the raspy voice practically yelled through the phone. It was my dad. "I-Im at school..I-I had to stay late", I lied. "Is that so? Then why did I just call them, and said YOU went home?!", he yelled. Fuck. "I was j-" "GET HOME NOW. AND DONT BRING THAT FUCK OF A BOY HERE." He said and hung up. I slowly slid the phone down. I put it in my pocket. Tears, welling up in my eyes. I looked at myself in the mirror...knowing, it could be the last time I do. I knew I should have never gone with Alfred. Its not his fault, but i just shouldn't have. I wiped my eyes and tried to look as ok as I possibly could.

I walked out of the bathroom, and saw Alfred standing in front of me. I jumped a bit,"Alfred! Dont do that..", i said looking down. He nodded and looked down. "I um..could hear..Im a fuck of a boy now I guess", he chuckled with a small smirk. I didn't find it as funny. "Alfred..It's not", he cut me off and put a finger to my mouth. "I know it's not..but I cant let you just go to that asshole."

I nodded as tears fell. I moved his hand,"I know. But I have no choice." I said and walked to my bag. I picked it up and walked towards the door with Alfred close behind me. I opened tje door and looked back at him with a smile,"I'll be ok. Dont worry. Bye Alfred", I said before walking out, and running home with hope, fear, and tears streaming down my face.
