Arthur always love the colour blue, reminded him with a clear water surface under a bright sunlight which he can see his own reflection on it, or like a vast, cloudless summer sky that made him went high and wanted to fly everytime he sees it.
Or simply it reminded him with that person, he who has orbs of brightest aquamarine. Those icy blue gaze that comforts him but made his heart throbs faster at the same time. It reminded him with Alfred, the 'boy' he used to live with.
He was dragged to the time when he was younger, when Alfred was just a little kid, when he was still under his care.
He still remembered how he greeted him with warm smile everytime he came for a visit or how he patted him reassuringly everytime he told him his problems. He even still remembered the feeling of his head snuggled innocently up to his chest, small arms found their way to Arthur's back, eyes shutted with fears, and he had to calm him with a loving kiss to his forehead and sing him sweet lullabies. Time sure flies fast, Arthur thought.
Even under the painful rain, on the coldest summer ever back in 1776, he still found those aquamarine orbs, staring at him stubbornly, never losing their brilliance.
Over hundreds years and counting, those brightness remain unchanged, his presonality remains unchanged, still bubbly and innocent as ever. He, remains unchanged.
He still be his little Alfred he knew..
.
"What's with you man, you look as pale as ghost. Not get enough eat?"
Arthur startled as a hand waved in front of his eyes, a hand of a man with glasses, It was him..
"Git don't surprise me like that, of course i'm fine! Just.." he trailed off "..reminiscing."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, Arthur. Just wanna tell you that.."
"Alfred," he suddenly cut. Hand tugged to the younger man's wrist. "Would you..would you please call me 'Artie' like you used to do back then? ..Just this once?"
He never believed that he actually said that. For a moment the room fell in complete silence.
And then there was a laugh, a light laugh that Arthur had missed for long, that tingled his ear like a music.
"Really, what's with you.." Alfred paused to position himself on the Englishman's lap just to whisper softly to his ear, "...Artie."
Arthur shivered in happiness. Unconsciously reaching both hands to tangled with Alfred's, looking for the long-lost, familiar warmth. "If only you know how much i missed you.." But he kept those words to himself. He prefered not to say it out loud. Afterall, there are always something that words are not enough to express.
He landed a gentle kiss on the American's forehead, like he used to do in the past. Has he mentioned that he still be his little Alfred?
He is, and will always be..
A/N: very short sorry! Anyway this is my first time writing in english, so if there's something wrong with the grammar/spelling or simply confuses you, just tell me! Will continue later (i hope)! Next is SpaMano!
A/N2: Btw, Artie is something like Iggy or Igirichu (chibimerica call him Igirichu sometimes on the original script, didn't he? xD) so since this is not in Japanese and I'm using human names, i strike out Igirichu and Iggy from the list. However looks like Artie is not cute enough sobsob ;u;
