Day 3

Arthurs POV

An hour or so after Kiku left I could hear Matthews soft snores from beneath his blanket, just above his music. I went over and pulled the blanket off his face so he could breath a little easier, he smiled softly and cuddled into a rather large polar bear animal. How had I not noticed that before?

I considered pulling out his music but I would risk waking him and I knew he didn't get any sleep last night. Both nights he'd spent awake and talking to his computer friend, who I was assuming also stayed up for him. Apparently he lived rather far away and they didn't get much time to talk.

I sat at my desk to work on my homework once again and, of course, text Kiku to make sure he got back to his dorm fine. He did but also went on a while about his lazy ass room mate that was far too sexy, as he put it.  Kiku wasn't the kind of guy to call people sexy too easily.  Of course, he didn't like the guy he hated his personality.

I laughed softly at Kiku's texts, he went on to rant about the fact that they didn't have enough sushi places near us and how the price of instant ramen went up again.

I started on my work, bidding farewell to my Japanese friend and attempting to concentrate on my lit assignment. I could faintly hear people talking through the vent below my desk. Two voices, one was clearly Francis and the other was distinctly German.  I put down my pencil and instead crawled on the floor to listen.

"So, Gilbert, what kind of music do you like?"

"Eh, metal I guess. Why?"

"Simply wondering. Do you have a special lady?"

"Nah, too awesome. You?"

"Non, free as a bird." Francis chuckled. That little liar. "Are you, eh, gay, maybe?"

"Don't know."

"Want to find out?" Francis asked him.

"Are you gay?" The German asked.

"Extremely."

"Well I guess it cant be helped then."  The German sighed. "Do you want top?"

"Obviously." Francis snorted.

I covered my hand with my hand in shock. Well, it wasn't really that surprising that he would cheat, simply that I felt so awful for Matthew.

I got up off the floor and sat in my chair again, not really wanting to hear Matthew be tossed aside for some other person who probably wasn't as good of a person. To be fair the other wasn't aware of Francis having Matthew so I don't blame him, neither would Matthew but I do blame Francis. I don't know if I should tell him or not. Would he want to know? I would, but I'm not Matthew and I don't know him well enough to decide. I have to get another opinion. I can't get Kiku's cuz he doesn't know him  well either.

Torn and confused for my new friend I headed over to my bed and put my ipod on to block out the adultery downstairs and attempted to fall asleep. It took me longer than usual, a solid hour of laying there and losing my thoughts to the music, allowing myself to disappear and finally drift off into darkness.

AN: I am sorry this took so long and that it's so short. I've been really busy writing a novel for school, its 15,000 words and it's absorbed a lot of my time, I apologize. (On top of that I have like a million doctors appointments and a shit ton of therapy and councelling I need to attend so...) Please like or comment, comments keep me going. The only reason I updated today was because some lovely soul commented 3 fucking times, (I love you) So yeah, thanks bai!!!
