《A Perfect Pair(F.A.C.E Family)》7

As Alfred tried to adjust me in a pose. I couldn't help but stare at Arthur who was giggling with Matthew about something. Alfred began to say something, but it was like my brain couldn't hear.... it was just focusing on Arthur. "Francis, like this," Alfred sassed. I snapped out of it and began to do as he said quickly. Arthur looked back at me, and I quickly turned my head away. I felt his stare on me but I tried to ignore it as Matthew walked in front of me with a camera. "You like photography?" I asked him. He shook his head and handed it to Alfred. "He does; I just edit."
"Alright!!! Make sure to keep that pose and just smile normally," Alfred smiled giving a thumbs up. It is surprising these boys have not been adopted yet, they seemed like good boys. I smiled my usual smile and Arthur began to laugh at me. "You look too forced! Smile as you mean it!" Arthur laughed. I smiled at what he said and began to laugh. That's when I saw the flash go off and snap a picture of me. Alfred turned to Arthur, in turn, Arthur gave him a thumbs up.
I just wanted to go over there and grab Arthur and just carry him up the stairs and just give him a piece of my mind. "Like you could be any better?" I teased. He began to laugh and shook his head "you know exactly how that would go, and I accept how awkward I look," Arthur joked. He seemed to be in such a good mood today and I loved it so much.
I left my pose and walked over to him and pulled him up from his seat. "What are you doing? It's your turn right now," he said shocked. "No! We are taking turns" I laughed evilly. He struggled to get out of my grasp, but I was stronger than him. The boys began to laugh as I put him in the same position I was in. "Now smile!" I demanded. He glared at me and turned to the boys who looked excited. Alfred gestured for him to smile, and his face softened. "Smile before I tell them an embarrassing dating story of him yours from college," I spoke. His eyes widened, and he quickly made this genuine smile.

It looked so unforced that it made me wonder how many times he has done that before. The boys began to take pictures of him, and I began to laugh at how silly he looked. He never did this type of stuff before, so it was entertaining.

Once we finished the odd photo shoot that the boys wanted, Matthew began to edit the lighting in the photos. At the same time, Alfred helped us set up accounts. "Maybe I shouldn't do this... I mean I'm not old I know that.... but I haven't been on a date in a while" Arthur spoke nervously. "I'm sure everything will be just fine; there will be at least one girl who likes you," I teased. He glared at me as Alfred turned to us. He handed us our phones and began to speak. "Fill out the basic information on the app, and we can work on your bios," he smiled.
Arthur and I did as he said and began to fill out the information. It was stuff like sexuality, birthday, name... the basic stuff which was easy to fill out. I tried to look at Arthur's screen, but he noticed and hid it away from me.
Once we finished, we both circled around Alfred as he grabbed Arthur's phone first. "So, what best describes you?" Alfred looked at Arthur. I noticed Arthur get nervous as he tried to think. "I guess I like staying in at night instead of going out much..... Ummm, I like reading I guess. I'm pretty boring, if I'm going, to be honest. I like watching movies too. Mystery ones I think" he said, confused.
"Alfred! You broke his brain with that question," I laughed. Alfred and Matthew began to look at Arthur, laughing as he turned red. "How about a fun intellectual who loves indoor movie dates," Matthew smiled. We all turned to him and giggled, "no, bro! That sounds too forced!" Alfred spoke.

"How about someone who enjoys movie dates but also loves to have deep conversations about books!" He cheered. I looked to Arthur who just was embarrassed by the situation. "Give me that," Arthur spoke. He began to type something down, and the rest of us looked at him curiously.
"There! Take it or leave it," he said, pleased. We all looked at his bio that said, "I'm boring, but I have a good sense of humor." I began to smile at his bio and laughed. "I would swipe right on you," I giggled. Arthur smiled softly as his checks became red. "My turn!" I cheered. I grabbed my phone from Alfred and began to type my bio in there.
"There we go!" I smiled. Arthur grabbed my phone and looked at it. He was soon laughing hard. His laugh was music to my ears, and it was like it made me freeze. "What does it say?" Matthew asked. "Last time I was someone's type was when I was donating blood," Arthur spoke with laughter. His laugh was contagious and made everyone else begin to laugh.
After we finished, even adding the pictures.... we all ate dinner as a family, which was so nice. We all had a nice day today, and now we had to see if we would get into any relationships. It's a stretch, but I was sure that Arthur and I could manage. Even in the end, our new family was still more important to me than dating. That night I couldn't help but feel so warm inside as I stared at everyone talking and laughing. Even Arthur has been making my heart flutter so severely and it was a great feeling.
