"your so stupid! Why would you do something that stupid!" the Frenchman yelled at the top of his lungs at his English 'lover'.

"I just though since you k-keep saying that your so-" he was cut off by a slap in the face. Arthur held his face as he sat on the floor.

"don't you dear book my vacations for me I can do just fine!" Francis yelled. "why don't you do something useful for once and go shopping or whatever!" he said storming out of the room. Arthur sat on the floor still stunned by the slap. He'd been slapped by him before but now bruises where starting to show in more noticeable places. What was Gilbert going to think?

'I told you so!' where going to be the only words he heard from him. No, he couldn't tell any one it happened with everyone right? Besides he never felt in any danger around Francis he never drew any blood. It would be just his and Francis' secret no one would have to be bothered by his stupid ratings. His word didn't mean anything anyway. He would just stay out of busy Francis' way and go shopping like he told him to.

Arthur had been given his allowance by Francis and told to stay out for a week if he liked. Some how he found comfort in shopping. There were a number of possibilities of things he could find and when he found something new he liked to take in the freshness of it from everything else and look back on some of the old things it reminded him of. Arthur was looking at some of the things that he had bought from the store he walked out of and walked straight into another person knocking him on his butt.

"I-im so sorry please forgive me." Arthur apologized picking up some of the other persons bags that he dropped on impact.

"Oh no its fine really you don't have to do that." The person said politely.

"I-I really am truly sorry." Arthur said handing the man his bags hiding his face with his hair.

"Is something wrong?" the man asked. Lifting Arthur's chin. Arthur looked up to see two beautiful sky blue eyes behind a pair of glasses. The man's face was framed with blond hair and a hair stood on end in rebellion. "Are you ok sir?" the man asked.

"Ah yes im fine im sorry to bother you." Arthur apologized for the third time.

"It wasn't anything that would bother me," the man said. "My name is Alfred." He said holding his hand out to Arthur. "Alfred f. Jones." Arthur took Alfred's hand gingerly.

"Arthur Kirkland." He said carefully. Arthur's grip was so gentile and Alfred's grip was crushing.

"Oh here let me help you." Alfred offered kneeling to pick up Arthur's items.

"Oh please don't I can to that I wouldn't want to bother you." Arthur said trying to beat him to the items on the ground. Alfred started up and ended up hitting Arthur in the nose knocking him back on his butt.

"Oh man im sorry this usually doesn't happen." Alfred apologized offering to help the brit stand.

"Really? cuz this happens to me all the time." Arthur said his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Really?" Alfred asked genuinely believing what Arthur said.

"No." Arthur said holding his nose. Arthur removed his hand to find blood dripping from his nostril. "Oh god!" he said running to the nearest bathroom.

He started walking out the door of the bathroom after calling Francis. He came out of the bathroom holding a paper towel over his nose. He walked out to see Alfred standing there holding Arthur's stuff as well as his own.

"You don't give up do you?" Arthur asked taking back some of the bags. Alfred held back some of the items forcing Arthur to walk with him.

"Only when I think ive made some sort of connection with someone." Alfred stated walking beside Arthur. Arthur tried not to look at the man walking beside him who stood a good few inches taller than him.

"I don't want to bother you." Arthur said clearly wanting to get home.

"Really you're not bothering me." Alfred stated.

"You don't have anything important to do? Maybe someone to meet?" Arthur suggested.

"Well not really I had a person I was going to meet but I always get to see them." Alfred stated clearly not going to leave him alone.

"Uh ok I really need to be getting home." Arthur said taking out his phone starting to call a cab.

"Calling a friend for a ride?" Alfred asked.

"N-no im phoning a cab." Arthur corrected him.

"I'll drive you home the cab fare sucks in the states." Alfred said taking the phone from Arthur's ear and flipping it closed.

"B-but I wouldn't want to put you out of your way." Arthur said starting to grab for is phone.

"Your not gunna get this back until you agree to let me drive you home." He said holding it out of his reach.

"Alright." Arthur finally agreed. Alfred looked over joyed.
