The red strings (FrUK)

Chapter thirty two

"That is everything" I finished seeing their jaws drop. "So That is what happened right there?" Feliciano asked concerned. I nodded, and they all looked shocked. "Please don't tell him; he does not know everything," I begged. "Yes, but it is just so hard to know.   Everything is falling into place," Gilbert said, thinking about it. "To be clear, you love him, though, right? You are not doing it to save yourself anymore?" Lovino asked Ready to strike me if I did not say the answer he wanted. I backed up a bit, still scared.

"Yes, of course, at first I did not care much, but I have actually fallen in love with him, and I want to be with him, but it is hard when this witch is messing with us," I explained, and they nodded. "Well, Francis can not know for obvious reasons," Antonio said. "So, he does not know that the both of you are actually.... soul mates?" Gilbert asked, pointing to my finger. "No, I have not told him as far as I know," I explained, and they nodded. "I need help; tomorrow is the last day," I started, and they nodded. "Maybe we can talk to him?" Lovino asked, looking at everyone.

Suddenly there was a sudden loud noise pushing everyone off of their seats and to the ground. "Arthur! You are cheating," I heard a voice say from the center of the room. "You all see her too, right?" Feliciano asked in horror seeing everyone realize my story was very true and twisted. "I have not broken any rules," I spat at her. "Yes, having them ask is the same as you asking, and therefore cheating," she pointed to me angrily. "I will warn you this time because you have not done anything yet, but next time I will not be generous," she said, coming to me and hitting me over the head with a stick.

"Who the hell are you?" Gilbert yelled, coming to my aid after the sudden strike. "If you help him by talking to Dear Francis, I will make sure to curse all of you as well. So no cheating, play by the rules," she started to threaten us. "Now then, see you tomorrow at midnight." She laughed, snapping her fingers, leaving.

"Holy shit, Arthur, she is Psycho," Lovino said, helping Feliciano from off the ground. "I have no idea what to do," I said hopelessly. "I have been trying for a week, and it has been close to happening but does not," I added, holding the part of my head that she hit extremely hard.  "I only have about a day and a couple of hours left. Tomorrow is our date, but I have until midnight," I explained, horrified. "I say you sleep with him," Lovino crosses his arms, staring at me. "You can't just tell him that!" Antonio turned to him, mad.

"Why not? At this rate, it is probably the best bet he has. It is tough not to say it or ask him. He has tried flowers and other things. Besides, the last time they did, they were drunk. I am sure Francis wants to anyway," Lovino said, a bit frustrated with the situation.....yet still trying to help. "Even if I do decide to do that, I feel like that is a bit wrong," I said, worried. Antonio and Gilbert nodded at what I said.

"Although he does feel the same way for him, it would be wrong for him to sleep with him just to get him to say it. It would be like he does not want to, and we are forcing him," Antonio pointed out, making Lovino glare. "Arthur, do you want to ?" Lovino turned to me, asking. "Wow, this got personal," I said, looking away.

"You would not be in this mess if you were to have told him in the beginning. Idiot!" Lovino got mad at me. Wow, he was really rough when it came to this. "What do you think, Gilbert?" Feliciano looked at him curiously. "I might have a suggestion, but you might get humiliated," Gilbert said, making everyone turn to him. "What is a small humiliation to being able to be with Francis. I will do it," I told him, determined.

"Well?! What is the idea?" Lovino yelled to him to spit it out. "Well, you know how he likes cute things? Well, what if we dress Arthur up in some kind of costume for him," Gilbert asked, shrugging his shoulders. "Wait! What kind of costume are we talking about here? Like a sexy one? Or a .... normal one?" Feliciano asked, confused. "Well it does not have to be that; it could be something else" Gilbert added. They all nodded as they looked at me curiously.

"It has to be something that catches his eyes, something fast," Antonio looked at me, making me grow uncomfortable. "Hey, do I have any say in this?" I asked, stepping back from them.  "Not a chance; you came for help, so we will be helping you, Arthur" Lovino looked at me in an evil way. "I know what we can do," Gilbert laughed in an evil way as well. "What?" I asked, starting to step back from the looks they were giving me. "What is it?" Feliciano asked, smiling. "Remember that one year?" Gilbert said, and everyone caught on quickly.

"Oh yes! How could we forget that" Antonio laughed? I backed up more until I bumped into the wall behind me. "Hey, we can find a different way," I said, holding my hand up to block them. However, they shook their heads at me. "Too late," Antonio laughed. "This is going to be more fun for us than anything," Lovino laughed, coming closer to the wall I was backed up into.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!"
"Stay still!"
"What, no! Unhand me, you fobish twit."
"Stay still! Antonio, hold him down!"
"What are you-? Oh hell no!"
"Oh hell yes!"
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
