Chapter 1

He felt so drained and tired; School was definitely going to be a challenge today. He quickly threw on his school uniform, making sure his tie wasn't crooked. He threw on his blazer(which he didn't bother to button up) and went out the door. He sighed as he walked outside, a cool breeze hitting his face. He sighed, a smile appearing on his face. Today might be better than he thought.

He ran a hand through his blonde hair, making it even more ruffled than it already was. He sighed again, his deep apple green eyes showing signs of being tired. There were even dark circles under his eyes which were very noticeable due to his bright green eyes. As he neared the school, he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He turned and let out a groan at who he saw. He saw a young man with sandy brown hair, blue eyes which were covered by glasses, a normal school uniform with a brown coat over it, and a big grin that was plastered across his face.

"Yo Arthur! You don't look so good bro." The young man stared at Arthur, worry in his crystal blue eyes. "Yeah...I know." Arthur let out a sigh as he saw the school just a few feet away from them. When they were near the gate of the school, Arthur pushed Alfred's hand off his shoulder. "Arthur bro...are you sure you're alright?" Arthur shot a glare at Alfred for asking that dumb question again. "What the bloody hell did I tell you before, I am alright!" Arthur clenched his teeth and let out angry breath as he stormed through the gate. Alfred followed him, but not as close this time. He knew that if he did, Arthur would surely bite his head off.

Stepping into the courtyard of the school, Arthur saw all the many students. He took in a deep breath as he walked over to a nearby tree to rest. He sat down in front of the tree and closed his eyes , totally shutting out the world. Laughter, conversations, and shouting from Ludwig at Feliciano could be heard. Arthur felt at peace and was very happy to finally be away from Alfred right now.

As soon as he started to drift off, he heard a voice calling his name. He dreaded this voice, it was the voice of that frog. "Arthur!" Arthur groaned. There was no way he could be at peace wherever he went. "Arthur!" The voice was getting closer. Arthur opened his eyes to be met with the sky blue eyes of the Frenchman. He had a suspicious smile on his face. His golden locks rested neatly against his slim face.

"Francis...What the bloody hell do you want?" The Frenchman's grin seemed to spread wider as he locked his eyes with Arthur's. Arthur moved uncomfortably winder Francis's gaze. He didn't like the way the Frenchman was staring at him. "Arthur, why are you sitting here all alone?" Francis watched him carefully, noticing the dark circles that laid under the British man's eyes.

"I'm trying to actually get peace away from someone like you." Arthur shot a glare at Francis, a frown resting upon his face and his thick eyebrows furrowed. "Oh Arthur, why would you want to be away from me?" Arthur groaned, he really didn't want to talk with Francis right now. "Just go away you frog, I have no time for your foolishness." Francis sighed a slight smile on his face. "If you insist, but if you get lonely, you know where to find me." With that the Frenchman left leaving Arthur alone like he wanted.

Arthur sighed, there was no way he could go back to sleep now. He looked around at the different students talking in the courtyard. There was Ivan with his sandy blonde hair who was following Yao around, probably asking his to become one like always. That's when he saw him though. He watched carefully, taking in all of him. He had dark brown hair and dark chocolate brown eyes. He was smiling as he was having a conversation with Ludwig and Feliciano.

Arthur was basically mesmerized by this boy. Something about him drew Arthur to him, made his stand out against the rest. He knew who he was, the boy he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of. His name was Kiku Honda. He was part of the student council and seemed to be shy and reserved for the most part. Arthur had only really seen him talk to Ludwig, Feliciano, Hercules, and Sadiq.

Arthur felt a smile spread across his face as he continued to watch Kiku. Kiku felt like he was being watched, so he averted his eyes from Feliciano(who was talking about pasta of course) and met with the piercing green eyes of Arthur Kirkland. He saw his smile, which was as alluring as it was beautiful. Kiku blushed a little, not used to being stared at like this. He gave Arthur a smile back which only caused the British man to blush a deep red. Kiku looked away and went back to talking with Ludwig and Feliciano.

Arthur looked away and looked down at his hands. The smile spread back across his face. Arthur knew for sure now that today was going to be a good day.
