Arthur slightly wakes up to an arm wrapped around his waist hugging his unusually thin body. Arthur couldn't help but snuggle into the warmth.

Then there was a phone call.

How come it always happens to him?

Phones just seem to hate him.

Biscuit started to paw at Arthurs' face. Arthur really didn't want to wake up but the movement of the arm around him.

The body yawns and answers the phone. "Hello? Mat." He answers. Arthur realized that it was Alfred, he gets confused at first but then pinpoints everything and understands.

Biscuit being a Lil bitch paws his face again the paw slightly hitting his eye. "Ow, biscuit." Arthur sits up and biscuit sits on his legs.

Arthur looks at Alfred who was shirtless and holy fuck and. Wait for what. Arthur looks at Alfred's face who was mostly blurry cause he didn't have his glasses on but the fact that he was sad was still visible on his face.

The call ended and Alfred put his phone down.

"what happened?" Arthur asks out of curiosity. He also didn't want his friend (wow, he's actually using that word) to feel sad. Alfred smiles "It's nothing. Mattie won't be home for a bit longer and he took the keys." Alfred said grabbing his rectangular-framed glasses and putting them on. He hands Arthur his circle like glasses with a smile.

"okay. Now the rest?" Arthur said. Until... Can you guess?

A phone call.

This time it came from his phone. "hold that thought, I'm sorry." Arthur says to Alfred. The caller ID was "Drunk idiot #2" "oh, its Gilbert. I wonder what he wants." Arthur picks up.

"Hello? Gilbert?"

"Hey, Iggy," Gilbert said his voice trying to hide the pain.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you alright?"

"I'm... No. I'm not. Somethings going on with Blackie, and your basically part of our family so... I just thought you'd like to know."

"Okay, I'm coming over. You're not fine and that's a big sign that somethings going on."

"Wait, no, no, no, no! Arthur, please stay there! I was just going on to tell my close friends, people who I think as a family."

"Well then If I'm part of your family more of the reason! The frog is at my apartment, I'll bring him too and Alfred too if you don't mind."

"It's... Fine."

"Good. I'll see you in a bit."

"Yeah..."
"Arthur."

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

Arthur couldn't help but smile. "what is family for." and with that, the call ended.

"So I'm guessing you found out?" Alfred said looking at the brit as he pets the fat cat.

"So that's what was wrong?" Arthur said smiling. Alfred looks down blushing and nods. "Awe, does lil baby want a hug," Arthur said getting on his knees and opening his arm.

"Shut up!" Alfred said giving him a slight push as a joke. "So, no hug?" Arthur said with a joking disappointment.

Then there it was. That warmth.

He felt arms wrapped around him and Arthur couldn't help but hug back. Alfred puts his head on Arthur.

"Your hair smells nice," Alfred said. Arthur laughs and tangles his fingers into Alfred bed head. "Well you have soft hair," Arthur says back.

Arthur then heard a few sniffles coming from above him. Arthur slightly let's go to see Alfred crying.

"What's wrong? I thought this would make you happy. Maybe I was wrong, I'm -"

"Don't be sorry, you right it made feel so much better its just.." Alfred looks at Arthurs green forest like eyes.

"You remind me of my mother, or at least what a mother would be like. Your touch is so warm, so accepting, but so bold. How a mother would go through the impossible to do whatever it takes for their child."

Arthur blushed "Idiot, you don't just say things like that.. I guess it's because I use to take care of children." Arthur said slightly letting go of remembering the kids. "What do you mean by that? Do you mean like taking care of your younger brother Peter?" Alfred asks letting go to look Arthur in his eyes.

"Yes and no? When I lived in The UK I worked in the orphanage, I wasn't one of the sisters who usually lived there, I was a worker. I cooked, cleaned, an took care of the children. I made sure they were ready for adoption day, and if they weren't adopted I cheered them up!" Arthur said smiling. Arthur would have cried but he wanted to be strong for Alfred. "That's so nice." Alfred said petting biscuit when he got in between them. "Look at the time. We should get going! I promised Gilbert I'd be there and I still haven't told Francis and we haven't changed!" Arthur said getting up. He goes to the bathroom and comes out with contacts and brushed teeth.

"Go wash your face and at least go and use some mouth wash," Arthur said coming out with a brush and starts brushing his hair.

The three were in the car ready to leave. Francis was driving since Arthur didn't have a car or a license.

They rode to a farther from the city to a nice two story house. Large and had a nice big backyard. Alfred knocks and Gilbert opens. Arthur immediately hugs him. Rubbing his back like how he used to back when they were kids.

The four go upstairs to a door and tall German pacing back and forth. Arthur pats his back near his shoulder. Ludwig looks down to see Arthur and starts to tear up. Arthur smiles as the German gets down for a hug. Arthur cradles him like he was a child again.

Arthur will always be there for his family.
