ARTHURS POV
Later on that evening, after I had finished my work and after Matthew had finished speaking with his friend Lars again (who really wasn't so bad despite being unbelievably annoying,) I heard the click of the door downstairs closing through the vent and a barely audible "Oh, Salut. How are you?"
"Fine, fine. Let me guess, you want to go again?"
It was time. I turned to Matthew, "Hey, Matt?"
He looked over at me "Yes Arthur?"
"Well, there's something I have to tell. you. Id rather not but I think that you deserve to know."
His expression changed to one of concern. "Of course, anything."
"It's about Francis."
"Francis?"
"Yes. Look Matthew, this is going to be very hard but I want you to hear me out."
"Arthur, you can not have my boyfriend." He said sternly.
"What- no. No I don't want him."
"Well then, what is it?" He demanded.
"Well you see... I don't believe he is the person you think he is. He's-"
"Arthur if this is about him hitting on people I know. That's just his personality. He does it to everyone. He hit on my dad once."
"No, just listen. He's not just hitting on other people, he's actually sleeping with them."
Matthew flushed with anger, but his voice did not get louder by any means. "Arthur, how dare you accuse him of such things!"
"Please, just listen Matthew. I don't want him to hurt you anymore than you do. Just... I heard him."
"You heard him? How so?"
"There's a vent under my desk. I can hear everything that goes on down there if I sit here."
"Well, tell me next time it happens so I can listen and maybe then I'll believe you." He scoffed.
"Why don't you take a listen right now then?" I asked.
He stared at me but finally sighed and with a roll of the eyes he headed over. I stood up and allowed him to kneel by my desk. We listened for a moment, there was only really shuffling and the low sound of creaking.
"Ah, don't bite, mon amour. That hurts."
"You like it."
Matts eyes widened. "Is that-"
"Francis, "
"Oui?"
"Turn over."
His eyes began to water and he buried his face in his hands. "I'm such a fool!" He whispered.
"Its alright. Would you like to go give him a swift kick?"
Matt looked at me, fire in his eyes. "The swiftest." I laughed and helped him stand up, "Come then. We shan't keep the man waiting."
We went down the stairs and stood in front of the door to Francis' room. Matthew stared at it so I reached past him and knocked before leaning against the wall.
"I'll get it." Came the voice that wasn't Francis'. A second later a tall male with snow white hair and bright red eyes opened the door and peered down at Matthew with a look of surprise.
"Gilbert?" Matt asked.
"Birdie? Was are you doing here?"
"I go to school here, what are you doing here?"
"I go here too. I thought you were in Vancouver."
"No, I'm here. What are you... are you with-"
"Gil? Who is there?"
"Ah, it's just Birdie Franny, no need to worry."
"Birdie?" Francis asked. I heard the bed creak and Francis appeared at the door. His eyes widened. "Matthew, what are you doing here."
Matt glared harshly at the Frenchman. "Francis." He spat. "Gilbert move. Now."
"Sure thing." The boy moved to stand next to me in the hall to observe.
Francis stood in the doorway with curious eyes. "Is there something wrong?" He asked.
"Damn straight there is," He yelled. "Who the hell do you think you are Francis? Did you just think I wouldn't find out or what? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Chou, I have no idea-"
"Don't you fucking dare." Matt snapped. Gilbert made an 'ooh' sound. "He's never sworn before." He whispered to me. "I didn't know they knew eachother. Whats going on?" He asked me.
"Shouldn't you know? You were the one sleeping with him, weren't you?"
"Well sure, but- oh. oh shit! Is that Francis as in Francis Bonnefoy, Matts boyfriend?" He panicked.
"Sure took you long enough."
"Oh god, Matt I am so sorry, I didn't-"
"I know Gilbert, it's fine. I don't blame you."
"Wait," Francis began, "You think that I would cheat on you?"
"Think? THINK? I know! I heard you just now! We are over Francis." He spun on his heel and began to walk off. "Wait, Mathieu-"
"OVER!"
