Arthur had gotten a good one. His right forearm was decorated with a photorealistic image of the Eiffel Tower, and there was little less romantic than that. Especially when the man he had feelings for was french.

Francis had been in Arthur’s life since his early teens when he moved from France and into Arthur’s neighborhood. They’d fought and hated each other at first, but they were also the only two boys in the neighborhood the same age.
