We've Never Met But I Love You

New Students

Arthur sighed in annoyance. He was currently in first period, English, and Mr. Oxenstierna had just made the announcement that there would be two new students.

"I'd like to introduce you all to Alfred and Matthew Jones-Williams. They are twin brothers. I expect you to treat them with kindness and respect."

The twins stepped forward and smiled. Alfred was the first to speak.

"Hiya everyone! I'm Alfred! But you can also call me Al."

Matthew cringed a bit, as Alfred was extremely loud and was standing right next to him.

"Alfred, please, lower your voice. I'm Matthew, but some people like calling me Matt. I don't really mind either way."

The twins both chose their seats. Matthew sat in between Gilbert and Kiku, while Alfred sat beside Arthur. A window was on the other side of Alfred.

The rest of the class went along pretty smoothly, other than Arthur constantly getting annoyed by Alfred trying to talk to him.

The Brit was grateful to hear the bell ring, and quickly walked out of class the second period.

Arthur's day was going accordingly, during lunch he was pestered by Francis and Antonio (mostly Francis, Toni was talking to 'his' Lovino). Gilbert would have been there too, but it seemed as though he took an interest to Matthew. He didn't see Alfred though, which he was perfectly fine with.

Arthur had almost forgotten about him until he arrived eighth period. Low and behold, there sat the American, next to his own seat.

Arthur rolled his eyes, walking up to his seat. He sank down and dropped his notebook on his desk. He already didn't like math. Mr. Väinämöinen (or Mista V as some people liked calling him) was a great teacher, Arthur would rather just sit and read a good book.

Alfred looked up at Arthur, showing no expression.

"We've never met but I love you."

Arthur blushed and choked on his own air. He looked at Alfred with wide eyes.

"I beg your pardon?!"

Alfred laughed a bit.

"Sorry, I'm bad at flirting. A way you could translate what I said could be 'you dress a hell of a lot better than other people I've seen here today'."

Arthur took a moment to think before speaking. He decided to make the assumption that Alfred was going to be another fuck boy, flirting with everyone he saw.

"I suppose you're right. But what I'd like to know is how many other people you've flirted with today."

Alfred looked down, thinking about what he had done in the past day.

"Hmm. So far, you're the only person. And I plan to keep it that way, too."

Arthur blushed once more, not expecting that answer. He was about to speak until Mr. V began class.

Arthur spent the time trying to pay attention, but occasionally looked to Alfred, telling him to quiet down (he wasn't as rude as he was during first period).

Mr. V ended the class halfway through to let people partner up and work on the homework assignment for that night.

However, instead of working, Alfred kept asking Arthur for his number.

"Why do you want my bloody number so badly?!" He whisper-shouted.

"Because I want to get to know you!" Alfred whispered back. "I also want more friends and I think your friend material!"

Arthur rolled his eyes and write down his number in Alfred's notebook, who celebrated silently.

Arthur didn't know how to feel about it, considering that he didn't think he was 'friend material'. He thought that people just liked to use him.

Alfred quickly entered the number into his phone and sent Arthur a short message.

Alfred F. Jones-Williams
It's me! Your new best friend!

Arthur shook his head in slight amusement.
