Another filler, not the one from above. I'm not sure about "creepy" but I gave it a shot. I hope the other anon gives it a try because I don't have that much faith in my own rendition. Please excuse the grammar and spelling in advance, it's like 4am. e.e
May the road rise up to meet you,
A white casket trimmed in gold sitting amongst a sea of flowers.
May the wind be ever at your back.
The top was closed, hiding it's contents.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
But Alfred knew exactly what was inside.
And the rain fall softly upon your fields.
Inside was a man.
And until we meet again,
A man lying completely still.
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.A man that would never move again

Glad you guys are interested! ^^ Now i'm just worried it'll turn out to be a big disappointment. Anyway this next part starts out with a flashback. I plan on alternating from present time to flashbacks so that there is a bit of a plot. Hopefully it will be obvious when I switch, but just to be sure I'll probably mention it's a flashback up here each time. Alfred couldn't remember the first time he went to his Uncle Henry's house. It had become the norm to spend the summer there every year. It didn't take long for even a child young as Alfred to realize why he was being left there. His parents were not exactly discreet about it. They liked to vacation alone

Thank you for the lovely comments! <3 To answer the third commenter: Yes Uncle Henry is Arthur's father, which does make Alfred and Arthur cousins. The OP said they were okay with them being family and I wasn't sure exactly sure how to get Arthur there otherwise. Well... unless I made him a hearse driver. I think that would be rather neat, but it didn't go with what I have planned. Also, just a heads up, I most likely won't be able to write/post the next part as quickly as I've done these. I'll be rather busy for the next few days, but I shall try. Over the sounds of his sniffling and cries Alfred didn't hear the door of the hearse opening, he didn't hear the sound of gravel crunching as someone walked over, and he certainly did not see the person stop in front of him. Only when that person cleared their throat did Alfred finally look up

And of course you ended there when it was getting to the good part. lol. I'll be sad that the next part won't be for bit of while, but RL should take precedence of course. :)

It should be creepy and I guess on some level it is, but right now all I can see is sexy and a little sad. Well, a lot sad. But mostly I'm excited about the sexy ^.^ lol
bonus: it happens during a funeral
bonus 2: the funeral is for one of America's family members
P.s. sorry if this comes out as multiple posts. LJ is acting kinda crazy on me

Is Arthur Uncle Henry's son? Does that make him a cousin of Alfred then?
