Though he probably would have felt even more so if he had been the one to cause the funeral. Arthur stayed close to Eva’s side the whole time, not allowing Eva out of his eye sight. Everyone around seemed to be in some kind of grieving, but no one truly looked sad, besides Marshall. Even Eva didn’t seem nearly as phased as she should be. This was her own mother that was dead, and Arthur wasn’t sure he had seen a single tear trail down her face in reaction to it. She had been so calm at the hospital before in regard to the news. And even now, standing in the presence of the casket that held her mother’s dead corpse, she didn’t shed a tear. Perhaps Eva was a lot stronger than Arthur tended to believe, as Arthur knew he would probably break down in tears at his own mother’s death bed. However, their mothers were significantly different, if not polar opposites. His mother was warm, loving, comforting, understanding. Evelyn was… none of those things. In fact, mother was probably too kind of a term for Evelyn. Arthur wasn’t getting involved in any conversation, simply watching each person who passed by to give their condolences. Arthur watched as Eva walked off to talk to a dark-haired man who stood by her mother’s coffin. His eyes began to scan the crowd of people, until landing one a tall man, with long blonde hair, standing at the entrance to the room. No one else seemed to notice his presence, and when Arthur locked eyes on him, he quickly moved out of the door frame. But Arthur recognized that hair anywhere. Wasn’t his father, as he always wore it tied away. Arthur made one mast glance at Eva, who was now receiving a manila folder from the man. Perhaps a lawyer with paperwork over what assets would be left to Eva. There were plenty of friendly eyes around to keep Eva safe, and so Arthur quickly moved towards the back door of the room. Turning his head, he just saw the back end of the stranger disappear behind a corner, and Arthur set off in a full sprint towards the man. What was he running from? Turning the corner, Arthur had caught up to the man, who was now exiting the building at a quickened pace. Arthur reached out, grabbing his arm and pulling him back in. But what Arthur hadn’t expected was for the blond stranger to whip around, twisting Arthur’s arm behind his back, and pinning his chest to the wall, banging Arthur’s head. Arthur smirked, too easy of a hold to break from, as his father had trained him. Arthur’s other arm was free to move, so he reached behind himself to grab the roots of the stranger’s long blond hair, and pull it tightly towards the wall as well. The stranger’s grip loosened and he started to cry out. [color=skyblue]“Ow ow ow- OW! No doubt a dumb trick taught by your old man, huh Arthur?”[/color] The man responded, as Arthur was able to pull away from his grip. Once free, Arthur released the man’s hair, and the two stood eye to eye with one another. Arthur had no need to ask how the stranger knew his name, or even who he was. It had already been established in Arthur’s mind from his father. [color=skyblue]“And my, my, have you grown. Arthur. Has it really been so long since I’ve seen you?”[/color] The gentlemen spoke, now straightening out his pulled hair. He sounded… different from his family and his friends. Where they all had strong Swedish accents, this guy sounded odly… Spanish. In fact, it reminded Arthur too much of the Munez family’s way of speaking. [color=dodgerblue]“I know you killed Evelyn… Why did you kill her?”[/color] Arthur spoke almost in a whisper. Not like he had to hide the notion, there was no one around to hear them speak. The man’s face dropped from a smile, and instead a frown grew there. [color=skyblue]“You wouldn’t understand… and it is too complicated to go into detail here. I only hope that one day you will not be forced to do the same thing to Eva, hm?”[/color] Arthur’s jaw locked, and his fists clenched. What did that mean? But, seeing his chance to slip away, the stranger pushed open the door, waving towards Arthur. [color=skyblue]“Til this evening, I suppose. Your mother is making my favorite tonight.”[/color] The man waved, before disappearing out the back door. Arthur’s Godfather… that was his old man’s best friend? Arthur shook his head, turning around to walk back towards the party. He seemed to flamboyant… and his hair. His hair told Arthur that he had to have some kind of tie to the Myles family. But his father had mentioned they weren’t related, just best friends. Much like how the Patrones weren’t relative, but were practically family again. Reentering the room where the service seemed to be dying down, Arthur overheard Marshall mentioning his name, and Arthur hurried over towards Eva. She was holding the manila folders in her hands. [color=dodgerblue]“Come on then, Eva… We can sit in my car if you need to get away from all this…”[/color] Arthur spoke cooly, placing his hand on the center of her back. He too felt the urge to throw up, like Eva. His eyes glancing at the casket. What had his Godfather meant when he said… having to do the same to Eva? He would never kill Eva. Even if their family were given a contract, he would refuse it, and he would protect Eva with his own life if his father tried to come after her. But his Godfather had seemed so sad about killing Evelyn… had he been forced to against his own will? Making their way to the car, Arthur’s phone beeped and he pulled it from his pocket, glancing over the message from his mother. [color=gold][i]Your cousin Julius is in town to visit. When you aren’t busy I’d like you to come home and spend time with your cousin. And bring Eva! I’m trying to convince your father to warm up a little.[/i][/color] Arthur rolled his eyes. Speaking of overly flamboyant… how was he related to Julius? Arthur could already see his obnoxious smile in his head. [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [i]BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ[/i] The soft sound seemed to pierce Alexander’s ear drums and brain. Alexander felt so warm and safe under the covers, and he moved his arm out into the cold, exposing air. He waved his arm around, trying to feel his night stand for his alarm clock, but it was as if they were missing from their normal spot. No biggie, the beeping had ceased and Alexander was able to lull himself back to sleep. Except, it was interrupted slightly by the occasional chirp of a sweet voice. A girl? Alexander felt groggy, it was a Saturday, why was someone up this early? He poked half of his head out from under the covers, rubbing one of his eyes to adjust to the light of the room. This wasn’t his room… this wasn’t his room. Alexander blinked roughly, his eyes moving around until they landed on Gigi sitting on the edge of the bed. Alright, Gigi’s room? He [i]had[/i] to be dreaming. But, this was a dream Alexander should enjoy while it lasted! He stretched his arms across the bed, taking in a deep breath and exhaling, slowly sitting up. The blanket fell off, showing his exposed chest as the covers pooled on his lap. [color=khaki]“Good morning, min vackra blomma.”[/color] Alexander purred, resting his chin on Gigi’s shoulder.
