Arthur gave Alfred a quick kiss on the cheek before he walked out of the door, leaving Arthur to sigh tiredly while leaning against the door frame.
"Are you okay Artie?" With a jolt, Arthur turned to face Alice and smiled.
"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep." Alice's face grew concerned.
"What's wrong Arthur?" Alice slipped her shoes on "I need to go shopping and your brothers are at school, do you want me to call up Francis?" Arthur froze. All the colour flushed from his face and he started trembling.
"Arthur!?" He took a deep breath. Francis' name startled him since he'd seen him in hospital. Ihe hadn't noticed it until Alice grabbed his hands in hers that he had been digging his fingernails into his palm so hard there were bright red marks.
"Arthur I'm calling someone to stay with you." He flinched and yelled suddenly.
"NOT FRANCIS!" Alice blinked owlishly at him. "I... anyone but him." He tried to breathe normally and gave Alice a half-hearted smile before finishing with.
"Me and Francis aren't like back then." Alice nodded and tapped on her phone.
"I have um..." she ran her fingers through her hair then kissed Arthur's forehead "call me if anything happens." She then rushed out of the door. Arthur let a loose tear run down his cheek.
"Wow, nostalgia hit me hard..." Arthur let himself fall to the floor and sat against the wall. He wiped his tears away swiftly and started to think of ways to calm himself down. He decided to put some music on. Selecting 'random' on his music playlist he listened to the song that started playing.
"I eat my dinner in my bathtub,
Then I go to sex clubs.
Watchin' freaky people gettin' it on."
He stood and walked into the other room, singing softly to himself.
"It doesn't make me nervous,
If anything I'm restless.
Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all."
He stopped singing for a while and just listened. Only to join in with the chorus again.
"You're gone and I gotta stay high,
all the time. To keep you off my mind."
Tears poured off of his cheeks.
"Spend my days locked in a haze, tryna forget you babe,
I fall back down.
Gotta stay high, all my life.
To forget I'm missin' you."
He turned the volume up until he couldn't hear his own sobs.



"Francis," He tucked a lock of the other's blond hair away from his face, letting out a chuckle.
"When are you going to get your hair cut?" Francis laughed and flicked his long hair. "Never in a million years mr.scruffy-hair!" They both laughed.
"Well then Francey-pants I hope you don't try to cut my hair when I'm asleep." Francis placed a finger on Arthur's nose.
"Arthur, je taime." Arthur smiled warmly, the smile turning into a naughty smirk as he kissed Francis' hand.
"Eugh!" Francis yelled, poking Arthur's stomach and giggling. Francis kissed Arthur's forehead as revenge. The pair started poking each other and laughing like children when they both fell off of Francis' bed and hit the floor, still laughing.




"Arthur!"
Arthur jolted awake to the sound of Alice calling his name.
"Hm?" He sat upright, realising he fell asleep in the living room in the middle of the floor.
"You okay Artie?" He nodded and stood up.

Woah I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride~

"I left my phone on..." he reached to turn it off when Alice sang with the song.
"Wooah I'm fallin' so I'm takin' my time on my riiii~de" Arthur joined in.
"I'd die for you that's easy to say we have a list of people that we would take, a bullet for them, a bullet for you a bullet for everybody in this room." The twins smiled at each other and rapped through the verse.
"I'd live for you and that's harder to do even harder to say when you know it's not true. Even harder to write. There are people at home that are talking to you and you ignore them still~ all these questions -- like who would you live for, who would you die for and would you ever kill."
Thy stopped singing and heard a thud as the door flew open and Alfred stepped in.
"Wooah I'm fallin' so I'm takin' my time on my riiiiii~de!" He beamed at the pair sitting on the floor and joined them, sliding across the floor and pulling Arthur into  hug.
"Ah, hello Alfie," Arthur smiled despite almost suffocating from the bear hug Alfred was giving him.
"School is boring as hell without you!" Alfred let Arthur free and yanked his schoolbag off of his shoulder, "you're back in tomorrow right?" Arthur chuckled.
"No I'm not, I told you that!" Alfred let out a whine.
"But it's so pointless without youuuu~" he puffed his cheeks out and crossed his arms.
"Well, if you're not in school. I'm not." Alice stood, trying to hide laughter behind a cough.
"Well maybe you could take Alice's place in looking after me then. How's that sound Alice?" Alice sighed.
"Why not," she handed a cookie to Arthur and Alfred, "I have some catching up to do with Kiku and Elizaveta." Arthur choked on a part of his cookie.
"Wait as in the Kiku Honda?" Alice smiled and nodded.
"Hey I'm friends with that guy!" Alfred finished off his cookie and beamed.
"You're friends with the whole school!" Arthur cut in.
"Kiku has a great taste in video games y'know!" Alice laughed.
"I know, he's always talking about them," Arthur smiled, the sense of peace in the house was new and calming. Arthur usually hated change but this one was peaceful. He tried to keep his mind away from what was bothering him, knowing that telling anyone would make it worse, keeping it to himself.

After all, Francis wasn't going to change how he felt about what Arthur did.
