Arthur sat on the free seat at the back, waiting for Alfred to finish ordering for the both of them. He typed away on his phone as fellow patrons, mostly students, chattered away about the most mundane of things. He was famished but he knew it would take awhile before Alfred would return.

The line was long when they came in and he highly doubted that either of them could use their country status to their advantage, not when the food establishment was already packed with people, 'at lunch' he mentally added.

"Hey" Alfred greeted lightly, tray with food on hand. He smiled brightly at him as he took the seat in front of Arthur, to which the older man returned with one of his own, although it was small and awkward in comparison. Alfred set the tray down and started munching on his burger, leaving the fries for Arthur to consume. They ate in relative silence. Arthur picked out the tender potato slices and left the rest untouched.

Alfred laughed at Arthur's choosiness but took the hint and popped a somewhat burnt fry in his mouth. He was about to open his mouth to comment about Arthur's tendency to be picky but stopped when he saw Arthur's warning glare. He sighed but amusement was evident in his too blue eyes. He was already a step behind Arthur. He grinned at his companion. He'll need to do some catching up.

Arthur blushed and looked away. Such modesty. Alfred wanted to see more. He reached out, to brush his fingers on his skin, giving the pretense that he was removing bits of salt from the side of Arthur's mouth. Arthur turned red from neck to the top of his head. And Alfred couldn't hold back anymore. He leaned towards Arthur and pecked on his lips. Arthur stiffened but before he could accept or reject the kiss, Alfred had already pulled back and was grinning ear to ear.

"I love you, Arthur."

"Sod off."

Alfred laughed and went back to devouring his burger.

a/n: this is one of those fics without a plot. I was bored and wanted to do something since my laptop's hard disk failed on me (I didn't want to get depressed so a distraction was needed).
