"I'm fat." Groaned Alfred.

"Shh..." Kiku leaned forward, dipped his head down, and kissed Alfred's belly in a rare case of affection on his part.

"I am..." Alfred groaned yet again.

"I like your belly just the way it is." Kiku tried to nap on Alfred's stomach, making him chuckle at the sudden movement.

"What are you doing down there?" Alfred asked in confused amusement.

"Your stomach makes a good pillow." Kiku spoke up in an attempt to cheer Alfred up though Kiku had never been good at these types of situations.

"How come you always know how to make me feel better?" Alfred grumbled; may be it only took trying to help out and a strong bond to make a person feel better or Kiku's comforting tactics were just what Alfred needed.

"I love you. so I try to notice these things." Kiku muttered against Alfred's stomach with a developing blush upon his own hidden face.

"Thank you. I love you too." Alfred murmured surprisingly softly.

They fell asleep like that: one laying his head on the other's stomach for a makeshift pillow.

Alfred needn't be concerned all that much about his weight as his little, Japanese lover liked it just the way it was whether it was a little on the pudgy side or not.
