Just a little drabble thingier that I'm not sure how I feel about...hm...well, enjoy! ^^
-.-
"Yo, Iggy! It's your boyfriend, Alfred calling! Pick up the phone, plezzz~. Pwetty plez with a cherwy on top? Iggy~! Iggy~!" ...Bloody murder...
I opened up the phone laying on the nightstand, flipping it open, I shout, "What could you possibly want at 3:00 in the morning, you wanker!"
"Ah-…" Silence… He didn't?...
"Alfred?..."
"…Yeah?"
"You forgot to convert the time zone again, didn't you?" I asked a bit softer. He's been doing that a lot, lately. We're having our next meeting in Japan is in another two weeks, so everyone could go home until then. That meant Alfred and I haven't seen each other for at least a week. You could tell how said that made him. His tone of voice just said it all…
"…yeah…" More silence. It's not a nice, comfortable silence either. It's one of those when you want to blurt out everything, even when there is nothing to blurt, for no apparent reason besides the fact that it just felt plain awkward.
"Alfred?"
"M-hm?"
"Good night, and good morning…" and with that, I almost closed the phone.
"Wait, Arthur!"
"Yes?"
"I love you…"
"I-… I love you, too you git… Don't worry, I'll see you later." I tried to sound reassuring, but in reality. It probably didn't sound like much.
"Ah-, yeah. I'll… I'll come over there, again and we'll go out and do stuff, ya know? Like, we'll go watch a movie, or we'll go eat some grub. Maybe I'll finally get you to eat some McDonald's! Or, or!" And he just kept rambling for a bit. "Uh, Artie?"
"Yes, Alfred?"
"Just makin' sure ur still there~…"
"I'm not going anywhere, Alfred." I informed him.
"Uh, yeah. As the hero, I will save you from the terrible boredom of being in stuffy ole' Europe! Maybe I can bring you back-"
"No. Alfred, we've already talked about this." I could literally feel his pout through the phone.
"But I'm sure we could-"
"I said, no. I have enough work as it is, and you have no time of your own to barely even sleep. Let alone entertain a guest."
"But ur not just uh-aaaahhh… guest, Artie~!" Alfred complained my irritable boyfriend. He needs some sleep, I can just tell. He's speech is slowing down dramatically. He'll probably fall asleep, soon…
"Neither are you when you stay here…"
"…"
"Alfred?"
"…"
"Are you still there?"
"*snnoorree*" I couldn't help but laugh lightly on the other end. No matter how strong the 'hero' says he is; sleep was never something he could fight off easily.
"Heh-… Good night, love…"
