~Wolfcat~Just then, I heard the marimba sound of my phone ringing and I pulled off the bed where it came out of my pocket. When Arthur pinned me down and kissed me like he did. The way he was so dominant, the way-
"Alfred! Your phone, git!"
"O-Oh. Sorry about that!"
I let go of him and picked up my phone. It was my mom.
"Hey mom! Sup?"
"Hey, Alfred. This might sound a little quick and on the fly, but Mattie and I are going to end up coming over there to London."
My face fell. She couldn't come here! Arthur was here, and I didn't want them to run into each other. She hated people like him. Well, she now hated people like me as well, but she didn't know.
She asked when I didn't reply, "Are you okay, Alfie?"
"Uh, yeah? What's the reason?"
"Matthew has a friend that lives over there. As much as I hate his friend after... Never mind. As much as I hate that Gilbert kid, I'm gonna help him get home. He has an interesting situation. But Gilbert lives in London, and I Matthew wants to go with, claiming that it's an opportunity to get out of the house and explore the world or something."
"Gilbert? So... That's his name.", I mumbled.
"Alfred? What did you say?"
"Oh, nothing, mom. Where will you stay?"
"Probably in a hotel or something for a few days."
"Okay."
"You sound off. Is everything okay? Did you make any friends?"
"Everything's fine, mom. And yeah, I made a really good friend, his name is Arthur and he's really cool. He's British and all, but yeah, he's still pretty sweet."
"Is he a friend? Like, how good of a friend is he?"
"He's like, my bestie mom. Chill out, I'll see ya later!"
"See ya, Alfie."
I turned around and Arthur asked, "Bestie? What the bloody hell is a bestie? And what does me being British have to do with anything? Is it bad? Because I certainly do not-"
"Chill, dude. Chill. I'll update you on the current situation."
"You make it sound like we are fighting a war Alfred, 'updating me on the current situation'."
"It is, though! So anyways, my brother Matthew is dating this guy name Gilbert, but my mom hates him. She didn't say why, but I don't think she knows they're together. And Gilbert has a funny situation, she told me. So Mattie wants to come with Gilbert to bring him back here where he lives and obviously, my mom is coming with him."
"Gilbert is dating your brother!? Gilbert? The one who wanted to experience America so much that he went straight for New York? That Gilbert?"
"I don't know. Just that his name is Gilbert."
"And why are we fighting a war?"
"My mom is against gays. End of story."
Arthur visibly stiffened, probably afraid of my mother.
Nope. No one is gonna worry my Artie like that. I gave him a crushing hug and kissed the top of his head. "It's okay. The hero will protect you!"
"Get off me, wanker!"
"You know you like it."
No response. I laughed and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before sighing.
"This isn't gonna turn out well."
"What?"
"It's not. I feel bad for you, and for Mattie. She'll give him hell."
"Why does she hate gays? Do you know?"
"I think I have a clue, and have figured it out over the years, but I'm not entirely sure, so I don't wanna say anything about it."
He just sat there on the bed then, in my arms, and eventually, we fell asleep together again. Him resting on my chest, and me breathing in his interesting and calming scent.
