A Boy Named Arthur

Robbery

Grace POV♥️
6:30 am

It's been two months since the incident. I'm calling it the incident but I know what it really was. Felix is doing a little better. We've talked and talked and talked about a lot of things. Things that should have not taken this long to talk about. From what I heard Henry is doing good but is still acting a little strange. Luke is a lot nicer and they are getting along. Arthur...I tried to talk to him but he is obviously avoiding us. Luke says he doesn't know what to do about him. We are trying to give him space but it's clear that everyone is missing him.

Then there is K.L. They actually reached out to me!!! We have been texting for the past month. Right now we are just friends but...nevermind. The Millers have laid off of us. It feels like there are two families living in one house so not much has changed.

"Grace what are you looking at?"💎

"I'm just thinking..."♥️

Felix offered to take me on a drive but we decided to walk instead. No offense but I know that my brother is a terrible driver.

"Are you thinking about K.L.???"💎

He wears a sleazy smile on his face.

"What are you implying?"♥️

"Nothing...but you guys have been talking a lot lately."💎

"We are just friends."♥️

He just laughs it off which makes me want to defend myself more. Before I can manage to say something Felix stops suddenly. I turn around to face him with a confused expression.

"What?"♥️

He doesn't say anything. Instead, he keeps staring at something up ahead. I turn around and squint my eyes to see what he is looking at.

"Oh..."♥️

I see Arthur and K.L. sitting at a park bench. My face starts feeling warm and a buzz fills my stomach. Shit...

"Let's head back..."💎

The smile my brother wore faded away. Even though he started to walk away I suddenly had an idea.

"Hey let's get some ice cream before we leave."♥️

"Ugh not again."💎

"Pretty please I am really hungry."♥️

"Fine but you better pay me back."💎

Luckily Felix doesn't seem to notice my strategy. For those wondering, the ice cream store is right across the street for the park. While Felix orders us ice cream I pull out my phone and pray that the opposite has there phone with them. I look over to K.L. and my throat feels dry...

SuperGay > K.L.💕

SuperGay
>Hey
Ummm this is gonna sound really weird but if u are seeing this look across the street

I lower my phone and look across the street longingly then by surprise K.L. looks at me. They start softly waving at me then they turn back to their phone.

K.L.💕
>Do you come around here often? Lol

SuperGay
>I- please stop

K.L.💕
>Never
If you wanted to talk to me you could have just come over here

SuperGay
>Well about that I have Felix with me...

K.L.💕
>please don't tell me you want my help to help Felix and Arthur talk again

SuperGay
>Whaaaaaaaat? Never

K.L.💕
>Really because if that's what you were suggesting then I would have agreed.

SuperGay
>Wait REALLY!!!

K.L.💕
>Hahaha it's too bad that you weren't suggesting that

SuperGay
>Wait K.L. Don't do me like that 🥺🥺

K.L.💕
>Hahaha fine

SuperGay
>OMg thank you 🙇

K.L.💕
>Dont sweat it
It'll be a win-win-win-win
Plus I'm done with Arthur being all sulky
I'll see you later then

SuperGay
>Byeeee
Also, Felix is the same ugh😖

"You've been smiling non-stop, what are you looking at?"💎

"Ummmm just a dog video."♥️

He silently hands me my ice cream but I can tell he doesn't buy it. The only problem now is I have to figure out how to get him across the street.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"💎

"W-what? Why would I think that? I mean it's true but still."♥️

"Well either you thought I was stupid enough to forget that we are right across the street from the park bench where those two are sitting or you think I'm going to go along with your stupid plans?"💎

"..."♥️

"I get that you want to help out but Arthur has made it obvious that he...doesn't want to talk to me."💎

"Ugh, it's just so annoying seeing you both sulky and-"♥️

Felix puts a hand over my mouth and looks just as confused as me.

"What do you mean both of us?"💎

"heh nothing"♥️

"Grace I will punch you in the face."💎

"Bet"♥️

I quickly get up and start running. Felix follows me at a fast pace. I guess this is one way to do this. I run across the street and I see the realization hit Felix's face.

"Don't be a pussy!"♥️

"Fuck off!"💎

Felix seems to have made the decision of going along with my plan. You really do love to see it!

"Just tell me what you meant and I will play along."💎

"Well K.L. told me that Arthur was acting all sulky and this would be a "win-win-win-win" situation."♥️

We both were hiding behind a tree which isn't the smartest decision now that I think about it. I look over only to meet K.L.'s eyes. We both struggle from laughing and wave at each other.

"I knew you were talking to them!"💎

"Be quiet"♥️

He laughs at me loud enough to alert the other two sitting at the bench. I just sigh and emerge from around the tree. Felix had to take a few seconds of giggling before he was ready to come around. I watch Arthurs's face twist and turn. It doesn't look like hatred so that reassures me. Felix, on the other hand, loses his smile quickly.

"Umm hey?"🌙✨

"So Grace and I have decided that you guys need to stop being idiots and talk, right?"🏀

It's been so long since I've heard their voice. Someone, please kill me now...

"Yup!"♥️

"Ummm did you know about this."🌙✨

Arthur wore a baggy pink shirt tucked into a pair of ripped jeans. His nails were painted the same as K.L. They were wearing a loose black blouse with jean shorts. I bit my bottom lip from saying anything stupid.

"Kinda..."💎

"Sit down with us!"🏀

Felix nods his head then sits across from Arthur. The others probably can't see it but Felix's ears were turning red.

This is gonna be fun.
