FYI, to take this story where I want to take it without any bumps, I do want to say that this AU exists in a place without judgement. So basically, it's not like the real world, where certain sexualities are judged and often shunned. This little world is somewhere where there is zero judgement. Zero. So my bois won't have to deal with any of those type of issues.
3:00.
Matthew waved to the teenager now at the register, as he walked out the front door, already changed into his normal clothes. He placed both earbuds in his ears, his music playlist on set on shuffle. And just to his luck, the first song to come on was ''Till I Waltz Again With You'. Matthew laughed quietly to himself, shaking his head. He should've known it wouldn't be easy for that one rambonxious blonde to leave his mind, and this song was simply a reminder of that boy.
He shook his head once again, but let his thoughts focus on Alfred, his last words to him that day playing on repeat through his mind. With each step he took, another thought of Alfred came up. Someone he had only met a few hours before, taking over his mind, leaving no room for thoughts of anyone else. With those parting words, it was if Alfred meant to come back, to see Matthew again. But yet, Matthew didn't know why he'd want to do such a thing. It didn't matter all that much regardless, as it was likely Alfred would forget about a plain, timid cashier by the end of the day.
Matthew tried to shoo Alfred out of his thoughts and focus on somethig else as he picked up the pace, nearly at the lecture room.
His eyes scanned over the few people outside the room, before settling on a familiar albino. He gave a warm smile as their eyes met, and gave a small wave. Gilbert waved back, a wide grin on his face.
Matthew jogged over to him, as Gilbert greeted him.
"'Sup Matthew, you're right on time, as always."
"I do like to be there for the whole lecture, I want to be prepared for finals when they come, and that means I need good notes including all the subjects covered." Matthew spoke as he dug his trusty laptop out of his bag, his notetaking device.
"I'm sure it wouldn't kill you to miss 5 minutes of a lecture. Besiides, some of these lectures are pretty un-awesome and boring. But you are the perfect student, arentcha?" Gilbert patted Matthew on the shoulder, he'd often tease him about his dedication to being the 'perfect' student.
"Yeah yeah, we should go in now, the professor's going to start soon." Matthew and Gilbert walked into the large room, placing themselves on two seats next to eachother, not in any particular location of the room.
The professor did indeed start speaking, but Matthew just was not able to focus. His mind only focused on Alfred again, refusing to let Matthew properly focus and take notes. He sighed, shaking his head, before turning to Gilbert.
"Hey, Gil?"
"What's up Mattie?" Gilbert turned his attention to the blonde, Matthew knew he hadn't been paying attention to the lecture anyway.
"Do you know a guy named Alfred? Alfred F. Jones as he refers to himself?" Matthew wasn't sure why he was asking Gilbert, but there had to be a chance he did know Alfred, right?
Matthew was in luck as Gilbert spoke with a look of recognition, "Oh yeah, he's in our year, though he's more into the party scene, not your kind of thing. He's pretty awesome at a party from what I've heard."
Matthew nodded, "Right, okay... hey, this is unrelated, but uhm... I heard you're going some party tonight? And I was just curious on what they're like and all so-" he trailed off as he saw Gilbert give him a knowing look.
"Ah, come on, I know that's not 'unrelated'. I mean, it's awesome that you're finally interested in a party, but I'm not that stupid. Why do you even care about that Alfred guy anyway?"
Matthew shrugged, not quite sure himself. "Don't know. I met him today and he just kind of... I don't know, he's just hogging up my thoughts."
"Aw man, you're not into him after first meeting him, are you?" Gilbert gave Matthew a cheeky smirk, and Matthew turned bright red.
"O-of course not! You know I'm not interested in relationships, Gil." He averted his gaze, not looking directly at the other.
"Aw, I was just messing with you, you know! But, now I see I really was right." Gilbert grinned and wiggled his eyebrows slightly, earning him a playful glare from the other.
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
"I am making you go to that party now though!"
Matthew rolled his eyes, though he knew Gilbert was serious, he would get Matthew to go there regardless on what Matthew really felt like doing. But, what he felt like doing did involve the party, so he wouldn't complain.~
The rest of the lecture went by without much conversation between the two, much to Matthew's relief. He knew Gilbert would not give up an opportunity to tease Matthew for his "lil crush~" as Gilbert put it. But Matthew was sure it was nothing like that, he had only met the guy that day, and hadn't even spoke 3 sentences to him. This wasn't Romeo and Juliet for gods sake. He was only... interested in him, that was it. Matthew would probably forget about him come the next day. Or, that's what he told himself.
Man, he'd even agreed to go to a party just to have a chance to catch a glimpse of Alfred again. And parties were not his type of place. What had he gotten himself into?
