My Valentine

"Red?Why red?"Francis asked himself as he read the text from Arthur.He shrugged with a sigh and said,"It doesn't matter."

He tied a bunch of red balloons together before letting it float to the ceiling."Magnific!"he said as he looked at his handy work.

"I think it looked great."said Matthew.Francis turned his head and asked,"Did you get it?"

Matthew nodded as he held out a large plastic bag.Francis gave Matthew a thumbs up.

"Hey,when do we have to get them here?"Matthew asked as he placed the plastic bag onto the large table.Francis checked his email and said,"It says they're going to arrive in a few minutes."

Matthew looked back at the plastic bag without saying a word.There was silence for a while,until muffle voices could be heard from the hallway.

"Francis said it should be this room."Alfred said as he looked at his phone.

"We won't know if it's here unless we check."Lovino said crossing his arms.Alfred grabbed the door knob and turned it.He opened the door and saw Francis standing next to Matthew."Glad you all could make it."Francis said with a wink.Matthew just waved with a shy smile.

Everyone entered the decorated hall.

After a while the entire room was filled with laughter,cheers,chatter and the loud music.But Alfred just sat at the back drinking from a small cup.

"What's wrong?Are you not enjoying the party?"Matthew asked from behind him.Alfred moved to the side while turning his head to look at the Canadian.Alfred shook his head and looked at his cup."I'm just a bit worried about Arthur.That's all."he said softly.

"I'm sure he's fine."Matthew said.Alfred eyed his brother and said,"How are you so sure?"

"I just do."Matthew replied.He patted Alfred's shoulder and said,"Go enjoy the party.Its Valentine's Day after all."Alfred smiled at his brother before saying,"I think I'm just going to stay here."

Matthew shrugged saying,"Your loss."He happily skipped over to Francis,who was talking to Antonio and Gilbert about some chocolate.

"Francis."Matthew said poking Francis' shoulder.Francis turned around and asked,"What?"

"How much longer?"Matthew asked.Francis checked his watch before saying,"Twenty more minutes."

"Okay."Matthew said softly.

Meanwhile,Alfred noticed some of their friends weren't there.Like Ivan,Allistor and Bereald."That's strange."Alfred said to himself."I'm sure Francis said everyone would be here...apart from Arthur.."

Alfred sighed to himself sadly.He took a small sip from his cup when he felt someone tap his shoulder.He turned his head to see Elizabeth.She took a step next to Alfred and said,"Lovely party isn't it?"

Alfred nodded in response.Elizabeth looked at Alfred with worry."How has he been doing?"Elizabeth asked,hoping for a verbal answer.

"I don't know."Alfred said in reply.Elizabeth tilted her head and asked,"How do you not know?"

"We haven't been talking lately."Alfred responded."He hasn't answered my calls for the past week,so I don't know if he's okay or not."Alfred looked at the ground sadly."I'm just worried about him.Thats all."

Elizabeth felt sorry for Alfred.You see,in the past two years,Arthur had been diagnosed with brain cancer.After they found out about the cancer,they sent him to a hospital in England,meaning Arthur and Alfred wouldn't be able to see each other.The only way they got to see each other was during Christmas or FaceTime.But Arthur hadn't contacted Alfred at all in the past week.
