answers the door. "Oh, Arthur!" smiles happily. "It's good to see you here, come in, please!"

8D; Uh, hello Matthew, listen... um... you might want to sit down.

-blinks- Did something wrong happened? -Goes to sit, but stops- Oh wait, I'll go to make tea! -smiles-

Ah, no. Please. Just... sit. Relax. Prepare yourself. o_o;

Uhm, fine... -Sits in the sofa, becoming worried by the fact Arthur doesn't want tea. Such a bad signal-

-Sits down with him, idles for a moment- ... Francis tried to cheat on you with me. I would say that he's been trying with others too.

But others wouldn't be as considerate of your feelings.

... -stares him- That... -laughs sourly- Arthur, I know you don't want me by his side, b-but Francis couldn't have cheated me. I... I trust-

-him.

... Listen, Matthew. I know this is hard to take, but it's true. He felt me up, he stole a damn kiss when he could! He's a pervert!

-starts trembling a little- But... He proposed to me... He said... He said I was special... -lowers his gaze-

-Scoots closer to him, takes his hand- It's okay. France is just... a whore. I'll take care of you, alright? I'll help you.

-bites his lower lip and starts crying in silence, not looking at him... It was just... He should have figured before everything he said--

--were lies. But he couldn't help loving him... Anyway, he nodded to what Arthur said and moved closer to him, resting his head on his--

-shoulder-

Shhh, it's alright. It's alright. I'll take care of the stupid frog, alright? I'll hurt him for hurting you, pet. Just try to stay calm.

N-no... Don't hurt him, please. -slaps himself mentally for saying that-

I'm not going to let him get away with this, love. :T

-Keeps crying and doesn't say anything more... Looks down at the ring Francis gave him- Arthur, could you d-do me a favor?

Of course, darling. What is it?

-Takes out his engagement ring- Could you please give this to him?

... I'll throw it away for you, pet. :\

He'll know it's true if you have the ring, Arthur. And... I can't face him now... I -starts crying more and covers his face with his hands-

-Holds him tightly, rubbing his back- Alright, alright, I'll take it to him for you. He'll regret this, I promise.

Thank you... -whispers, still thinking he wouldn't wish anything bad for Francis, even after what he did...-

Of course, of course. Shh. Daddy can still help, even after all these years, mm? <3 -Snuggles-
