I'm Coming Home (USUK Fanfic)

CHAPTER 4: The Gift

It was a long flight to Colorado. Francis, Arthur, Lily, and Amelia had major jet lag. All of them were tired walking off the plane from sitting for hours. They all went to their next gate to fly to Texas. Francis was dreading the next flight. He wasn't happy to fly more.

"Come on chap, we're almost there." Arthur tried to cheer up him up.

"I know, but I'm so tired and my body aches from sitting for hours! I just want to lay down and take a long nap..."

"Once we land in Texas we're going straight to Matthew's house. You can rest there."

"I think I'm just going to take a nap on the plane and the car ride. I have something else in mind when we get to Matthew's. Honhonhon..."

Arthur smiled and shook his head. He doubts that Francis will have enough energy to do that after only a 3hr nap. Arthur looked at the girls and smiled. They both fell asleep on each other and they looked so cute to Arthur. It looked like a scene from when they were younger. An announcement came on saying they were now boarding for Dallas Fort Worth, Texas. Francis woke the girls and they lazily woke up. They all boarded the plane, once again, and headed for their final destination. The plane ride was only 2 1/2hrs, but it felt like forever to the group of four. They exited the plane and Amelia burst with energy, somehow.

"Finally!!! I love planes, but gosh dang! I'm so happy to be back on the ground!"

"Haha, once we get in the car you're just going to fall asleep again." Lily said this with a tired smile.

"You bet I will!" Amelia replied and everyone started laughing. All of them walked to baggage claim and then to the car rental office. Once they got their car they packed their bags in the trunk and headed toward Matthew's. Arthur was driving and before he woke the others to tell them they arrived, he wanted to scare them awake. Arthur pulled up to Matthew's big pickup truck, put on his high beams, put the car in neutral, and started screaming. The other three woke up and started screaming too. Arthur started laughing and Francis smacked him on his shoulder.

"Oh mon dieu, Arthur! Pourquoi ferais tu cela?! Je te hias tellement!" Francis turned away from Arthur after yelling at him.

"Dad! Don't do that! You scared us to death!" Amelia was smacking him on his head and Arthur was flailing around.

"Haha! Okay, enough! I'm sorry!"

Amelia stopped her assault and got out of the car. The rest followed, but Arthur was still a laughing mess. Arthur finally got out of the car and grabbed his bag. They rang the doorbell to Matthew's home and waited. The door opened to reveal Matthew, but before he got a chance to greet everyone, Francis embraced him a planted a hard kiss on his lips. Matthew was taken aback, but started laughing and returned the favor. Arthur, Amelia and Lily walked past the two love birds and took their belongings up to their rooms. When they came back down Francis and Matthew were talking. Lily ran up and hugged Matthew tightly.

"Hello papa! I've missed you so much!" Lily squealed with happiness.

"Hi my little flower! I've missed ya too!" Matthew replied with a huge smile. Matthew turned toward Amelia and Arthur and greeted them.

"Hey guys! Long time no see! How's life been over in England?"

"It's been great, but it's super cold over there! Amelia shouted in reply.

"Haha, I bet! It's been pretty chilly this year in Texas too. A lot of rain's been falling." Matthew was hugging Amelia while saying this. Arthur smiled and greeted Matthew.

"Haha, it's been awhile. It's good to see you after so long." Arthur gave Matthew a hug and then the five of them were conversing about what went on over the past couple years. The rest of the night was filled with laughter and stories. When they were calling it for the night Francis whispered something into Matthew's ear and Matthew had a smirk on his lips. Matthew led Francis upstairs and when they made it to the top, a door closed. Arthur couldn't believe that Francis actually had the energy to do that. A few moments later there was a creaking sound and then voices. Arthur immediately blushed and the girls looked at each other, confused by the noises. Arthur quickly told the girls to stay downstairs and turn on the TV. The girls gave him a look, but shrugged it off and turned on the television. Arthur signed in relief and joined them, not wanting to hear the noises upstairs. Matthew came downstairs after being up there for 2hrs. His hair was wet, suggesting he took a shower.
