Perhaps Another Day
They sat in silence, the fireplace slowly burning out. Arthur was content with his work as Ji sat in a lone chair quietly reading his book. Arthur would glance towards Ji now and again. Ji would do the same. When their eyes met a light blush would creep along Ji's face and they would look away. It was late, the sun had long set. Arthur looked at the clock across the room again, 2:13 am, he sighed. It had only been five minutes. Time seemed to drag on in the silence. Ji turned the page in his book and yawned. He curled up in the chair, trying to focus on his book. Arthur sighed, he knew the younger boy tended to push himself pass what his body could handle. Arthur would worry about the boy and end up making an excuse to stay with him.
"Ji…you should go to bed, it's late." Arthur stood up and walked over to him. "Ji?" He sighed again, Ji had already fallen asleep. Arthur took his book, marking his page, and set it down. He pulled the blanket off the back of the chair and draped it around Ji's small body. "So cute….." Arthur mumbled to himself. He kissed Ji's forehead and went back to his work.
Arthur looked at the clock again, then to Ji, then back to his work. Arthur couldn't focus; he was busying watching Ji sleep. He sighed, deciding to abandon his work and take the sleeping boy to bed. Arthur stood up, walking over to Ji, and picking him up gently, not wanting to wake him up.
"mnnnn…..A-Arthur….." Arthur felt heat rise to his face at hearing his name from the sleeping boy in his arms. Dismissing any thoughts he had he took Ji to his room. Arthur pulled down the blankets and laid Ji down. Ji clung to Arthur. Not wanting to have to wake Ji up, Arthur laid down with him. Ji curled up next to Arthur, resting his head on Arthur's chest. Arthur wasn't used to the intimate contact with Ji. Though longed for it from the small beauty that laid beside him. Arthur wrapped his arms around Ji and held him close. He kissed Ji's forehead again, then his cheek, his nose. Arthur then did what he never thought he would, he brushed his lips against Ji's. He pressed his lips against Ji's again, a little harder then before. He hadn't realized what he had done, he quickly pulled away, afraid to see if he had woken up the one he had felt so strongly about. Arthur felt Ji shift closer to him in his arms. He smiled a little to himself, having the younger one in his arms felt right.
"I love you." Arthur whispered. "Perhaps….another day I'll tell you…just how much….I love you."
A/N: What do you think? Reviews are love, I might continue this but I'm not sure though.
By the way, Ji is the name I use for Hong Kong.
