Specifically, Arthur as Matthew's best friend, and Alfred as Matthew's much older brother (OP's thinking... 20+).
If it's a long fill, OP would really like it if the "relationship" begins before Arthur is even 16. And they obviously try to keep it low, but... someone finds out, naturally...
Fill this with angst, guilt, smut, and all of that... and you can have my soul, anon.
Hoc Voluerunt: Chapter One **A**

Arthur Kirkland had never hated his school uniform more in his life than he did at these moments. The navy-coloured blazer seemed almost ridiculously childish on him, and yet the black sweater-vest he wore underneath it made him look too old. His black tie and equally dark dress-pants were no exception… But the worst thing about his uniform had to be the striking gold and silver emblem on the breast of his jacket… “Royal Juliant Academy,” was written in elegant script above an open book whose pages bore the terms, “Hoc Voluerunt,” and, “Thus they should have it.” Yes… This was no school for the weak

Arthur walked to the door, but stopped by the small sofa and draped a patterned-blanket across his mother’s sleeping form. He bent over and kissed her cheek, before muttering a soft, “Have a good day, mum. I’m off to school. Love you.” Because he really did love her. He found that if he did love her, it was easier to come home. He found that if he loved anyone at all, it was easier to be strong.
With one, quick glance at the mirror by the door, Arthur painted on his best fake smile and headed out the door. Today, he was going to need that smile. Just like he needed all the ones before that. Once more, Arthur repeated his quote to himself as he walked the six blocks to Royal Julient Academy. A school of strength. That was the funniest thing he’d heard in a long time. At least the smile on his face became slightly more genuine.

This does look good anon, and I will most definitely be looking forward to the next part! I'm excited to see Arthur as the younger one and see him in a different situation at a school :D Keep going!

Author!anon, don't worry that this is getting off to a "slow" start; I kind of appreciate the world-building and characterization myself! It makes for a much better read, and it always feels more realistic to start this kind of story before someone new comes into their life and changes everything.
This is a really promising start; I was gonna just peek in and give it a look and leave, since I normally don't much care for the high school thing, buuuuuuuuut ... You got me; I can tell I'm gonna get sucked into reading it. XD Lol, happily sucked in, though!
You're doing an amazing job of writing an inner monologue that's both age AND character appropriate; it's 100% believable. And that mantra of Arthur's, along with this: Strength. Right now, it was only temporarily straying away from him. That rings really true for his personality and the position he's in. ♥♥♥
A school of strength. That was the funniest thing he’d heard in a long time. At least the smile on his face became slightly more genuine. Yeah, it's official; I love

Thank you very much, anon! :') I'm glad you like this so far, and I'm happy you got sucked in, as well! ;) I really appreciate your review! I worry about the characterization sometimes, so it's good to know I'm on the right track! Thank you for reading, and I hope you'll come back for chapter two! <3
And of course this is going to be the juciest of all fills~ ;P

Anon! Your first fill is AWESOME. And this isn't boring at all! I love the setup, it makes me feel really eager to see what your Arthur does - and he's AWESOME. I feel so bad for him and I hate his dad already (are his brothers Scotland, Ireland and Wales-equivalents?) and so proud of him for getting into the Academy - and that he still loves his mom, d'awwwwwwww.
Shall we call you Volerunt-anon? I like v-name anons. :D Cannot wait for the next chapter!
