A/N: Yes. I'm obsessed with Hetalia. To elaborate, I'm obsessed with ENGLAND, since he's the cutest lil' tsundere to ever cross my fandom-path. Anyway, this isn't really my first attempt at Hetalia fanfiction (I'm still working on that one, lol), but this is my first time POSTING Hetalia fanfiction. So, YAY!

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING, not the series, not the characters, not even the damn COUNTRIES (but that'd be pretty cool...). Human names are used throughout, but country names are used as well (just not in this chapter). There will be more to follow so if you enjoy this chapter, STAY TUNED! :D

PROLOGUE

The warm morning sunlight crept into the room, painting the floor with hues of golden yellows. It covered the entire room in just a span of minutes, catching the attention of those two fair-haired lovers in bed. Arthur snuggled closer to Alfred's side, trying to block the sun's rays from further disturbing him.

"Hmm, blasted sun," he mumbled against his partner's rib, the soft puffs of his breath tickling Alfred awake.

The other man yawned and stretched out his arms, bringing them down and around the small frame of the grumpy Englishman. "Oh, I like the sun, Arthur," he said, a sleepy tone lingering in his voice.

Blushing softly, Arthur glanced up, noticing that Alfred's face remained as it did in sleep mode. "It's not waking you up?"

Alfred giggled and perked open a glistening blue eye. "Nope, but you are," he smirked, pulling in his lover closer.

Arthur whined, burying his face against Alfred's side. His actions were met with a hearty laugh from the self-proclaimed-hero, but he didn't bother to glance up at that laughing face; Arthur knew it all too well. He had seen so much of it perched over him the previous night, the memories of their foreplay stinging his cheeks with heat.

The Englishman sighed, opting to cuddle in closer with Alfred, resting his head atop that strong chest that slowly rose and fell with each of the American's breaths. "You're so warm," he whispered softly, shutting his eyes from the blinding sun.

Petting his partner's hair softly, Alfred nodded, lying back for the sun to further heat up his tired body. "So are you."

There was little left to say after that moment as the two decided to spend their morning in bed, latched tightly to one another. So many obstacles had been in their way for years, but they managed to leap over those hurdles in just one night; maybe more. The long journey flashed through their waking minds, as fights and conversations best left behind crept back into their skulls…
