Alfred was relaxing on his day off in his home, when suddenly he heard "Wanker." He got off his sofa, placing his laptop on the coffee table and looked behind him.
"Hi Arthur!" He said excitedly, it was rare for Arthur to come to his house, he always complained that it was too dirty.
"Hello America" Arthur replied, closing the front door behind him and making his way to the couch through the trash all over the floor.
"What are you doing here?" Alfred asked, moving a pile of clothes over so Arthur could sit on his old sofa.
"I was visiting for business, which I finished and came to take you up on your previous offer of a room." Arthur replied, gesturing to his suitcase that he brought with him.
"Great, I'll show you to the guest room, but Arthur you should've called. I would've cleaned up if you had." Alfred said grabbing the suitcase and starting up the stairs.
"I did call, a week ago telling you I was going to be here today. You should have listened better." Arthur retorted following him up to the room. Thankfully it was much cleaner than the rest of the house and even had fresh sheets on the bed.
"Good thing I cleaned this room earlier. I'll let you unpack, want any of that leaf juice you left the last time you were here?" Alfred offered as he set the suitcase down on the bed.
"It's tea, not leaf juice and yes I would like a cuppa." Arthur answered, unpacking some clothes and placing them in the closet. When he finished he went downstairs and helped Alfred with his tea, since Alfred couldn't be bothered to make a proper cuppa.
"Iggy, Why do you drink tea so much" Alfred asked as he threw the pile of clothes in the living into a closet.
"Because it's really good and soothing to drink. Why do you eat fast food all the time?" Arthur replied whilst sitting on the couch.
"Cuz its cheap, filling and pretty tasty" Alfred said, picking up some trash and tossing it in the trash like an allstar.
"It's bad for your health" Arthur argued, as he set his tea down and put some magazines on the coffee table in a pile.
"well almost anything can be bad for you if you eat enough of it" He said as he came over and sat beside him.
"And you haven't yet?" Arthur asked.
"Well, I haven't gotten sick yet sooo…"
"I still do not wish for you to continue with this diet." Arthur said concerned.
"hmmm, well it's not like I eat it all the time, I usually cook my own food and if i do eat it I exercise" Alfred added looking down and poking at his stomach.
"I... I know, America... I just worry about your health." Arthur admitted picking up his tea again and looking away.
"No worries Iggy, the hero has to always be ready, I wouldn't do anything really bad for me" Alfred said trying to reassure Arthur.
"I hope not..." replied Arthur, looking skeptical still.
"Besides my scientists and doctors can fix me right up. You should be more worried about yourself with your imaginary friends Iggy." Alfred said changing the subject.
"I do not have imaginary friends! The pixies and flying mint bunny are real! They are more real than Tony!" Arthur argued.
"Tony is an alien, another life-form from outer space. Unlike your pixies and flying bunny, he is visible to 's just very shy." Alfred stated.
"W-well! Uh... Mine are real too!" Arthur said.
"Prove it"
"They are standing right next to you!" He replied pointing towards the front door.
"...I can't see anything" Alfred said, looking around himself trying to see the creature.
"What?! How can you miss them?!"Arthur exclaimed, then turning towards the front door said "Yes, I know, Flying Mint Bunny, but you are noticed by me…" while reaching a hand out and petting the air.
"uhhh..alright Iggy, let's get you to the room and I'll make some soup. The hero will help get you better!" Alfred said.
" What do you mean?" Arthur replied, stopping his petting motion and turning back to Alfred.
"well, you must have a fever and are hallucinating, cuz you are literally petting air" Alfred stated.
"I am not! I am petting Mr. Unicorn!" Arthur argued.
"sure you are,"Alfred said sarcastically grabbing Iggy's arm "now let's get you to your room and rest a bit, yeah?"
"I do not know what the bloody hell you are talking about!" Arthur yelled, pulling out of Alfred's grip.
"Never mind then iggy, let's go get some food." Alfred conceded.
"Fine!" Arthur said irritably, "But not something that's fast food again!"
"how about...burgers?" Alfred offered.
"From where…?"
"I can make us some, let's pick up some frozen ones at the store, along with buns and I'll make them here" Alfred added
"Frozen burgers?! You might as well eat from McDonald's!" Arthur said horrified.
"then we'll pick up some ground beef instead mr. picky" Alfred teased. Arthur rolled his eyes and agreed letting Al drag him off to the store to buy the ingredients.
" You can be such a handful sometimes... " Arthur said when they got back.
"hmm but I'm a hero of a handful! the best kind, especially since I'm offering to cook for you Iggy." Alfred announced.
"Yes, I suppose... But why are you cooking for me? I am the one who normally cooks." Arthur asks.
"cuz I'm a hero, and if I explained further you would get angry…"Alfred answers cryptically.
"Why would I get angry?" He asks confused
"...let's just say that you wouldn't appreciate my opinions" Alfred states, taking out a skillet and putting two burgers on it.
"Do you want to bet?" Arthur challenges.
"I'll win but sure" Alfred answers.
"What are your opinions?" He asks again.
"You're not exactly a good cook iggy...so it's better for both our stomachs if I cook" Alfred says bluntly.
"You bloody git! My cooking is quite good!" Arthur says hurt by his answer.
"Told you so, You're angry" Alfred responds, flipping the burgers.
" Wanker, I thought you were going to say something else!" Arthur adds angrily.
"like what?" He asks confused.
"Nothing! Nevermind! Just cook." He quickly answers blushing and looking away.
"Why are you blushing Iggy, thinking about some cute chick?" He teases.
"U-uh, no. I-I'm blushing?" Arthur stutters, avoiding Alfred's questioning gaze.
"mhmm, you thinking about someone special Iggy?" He adds.
"P-perhaps…" He replies, going and making another cuppa to avoid further questions.
"Oh! Tell me, please Iggy? I promise to keep it a secret!" Alfred says excitedly.
"No, I do not want to tell anyone. Especially you!" He replies.
"You don't trust me Iggy? I really won't tell anyone, I'm not a gossip." Alfred tries, looking a bit sad at the lack of trust. He takes the burgers off the pan, turns off the stove, and puts them onto the buns they bought.
" I don't know...I fear that you will make fun of or at least judge me considering your damn laws…" Arthur admits, drinking his cuppa on the sofa.
"Hey, I'm still developing, besides just cuz my people don't like something doesn't mean I agree with them. I'm my own person!" He argues, putting the lettuce, tomato and pickles on the burgers.
"Fine, but the person I like is actually a man." Arthur says, putting down his tea.
"That's fine, a few of my states made that legal already you know...just hard getting everyone to agree. Soooo, tell me, who is your special mister that is making you blush?" Alfred asks, setting down their food, but ignoring it in favor of the mystery at hand.
"That's what I'm worried about if I tell you…" Arthur starts, trailing off and looking away.
"But I promised I wouldn't tell, I'm not a bad person after all Iggy, I'll even help you out if you want!" He adds, trying to reassure Iggy of his trustworthiness.
"Bloody wanker, it's you!" Arthur blurts out, unable to hold it in anymore.
"..ah...um..well…" Alfred stutters in surprise and blushing, "A-Arthur, I thought you.. hated me though?"
"A-America... I always thought you hated me... You almost never see me anymore other than at world meetings. We used to be so close before the war between us, but up until then, I felt as if you were blocking me away from your life!" Arthur exclaims letting out his frustration.
"I didn't hate you Arthur, just really disliked you after the war, besides we are equals now. I don't see you much cuz every time I talked to you, you complained about the piles of work you had to do and I didn't want to be a bother" Alfred explains, trying to calm Arthur.
" I'm always fed up with work and my boss, but I actually try to finish my work early just so I could spend time and get close to you like we did before. You were my world and I didn't want to push you away... I'm sorry if you thought that I hated you... That's not at all how I feel about you…" He says, then he looks down "I'm sorry."
" So it was all a misunderstanding..? We just didn't speak what we wanted clearly, so don't apologize Iggy." Alfred comforts pulling Iggy in and lightly hugging him, "At least we understand now."
"So you are not mad now that I told you?" Arthur asks scared but leaning into the hug.
"Why would I be mad? I like you too Arthur, so I'd be pretty weird if I didn't want you to like me too." Alfred admits.
"All right, then.." he replies, blushing and drinking his tea.
"you're adorable all red like that Iggy" He adds, smiling at the sight of the blush on Arthur's cheeks.
"I beg your pardon?!" He argues blushing a deeper red, "I am most certainly not adorable!"
" hmm," he teases looking closely at Arthur's cheeks and smiling, "nope you are adorable, I'm sure of it."
"I-if anyone is adorable, it's you!" He exclaims pointing an accusing finger at Alfred's smile.
"nope, not possible, I'm a hero and heroes aren't adorable. Short, blushing englishmen are however unbearably adorable" He replies, grabbing Arthur's hand and cradling it.
"Then you must not be a hero then." He retorts smirking and laughing a little, "you are pretty cute if I do say so myself."
"...but, If I'm not a hero who is?" He asks blushing.
"I am because I am not adorable!" Arthur says laughing
" hmm..well, If I wasn't a hero, I wouldn't be able to do this!" He says picking Arthur up off the couch and holding him bridal-style while laughing.
Arthur yelps and blushes madly, "You bloody git! Put me down this instant!" he demands, squirming in his arms.
"Nope, Not till you admit I'm the hero!" He replies holding him tighter despite his squirming.
"Never! You cannot make me!" Arthur exclaims.
"hmm how about now?!" He says setting Arthur down on the couch and tickling him, "Admit defeat!"
"N-No! Hahaha! Ne-Never, I say!" He stutters while laughing.
"then I'll never stop!"
"No! Hahaha! A-mer-i-ca-haha!OK OK! I'll say it!" Arthur concedes.
Alfred stops his merciless attack and says "I'm listening"
Arthur sits up and tries to catch his breath, wrapping his arms around Alfreds neck.
"You are my hero America" He admits.
Alfred pulls Arthur closer, "Of course I am Iggy, you're the most important person to me"
"A-America?" He asks blushing.
"call me Alfred, Arthur"He says reaching out and caressing Arthur's cheek.
"Al?" He softly questions, putting a hand on Al's chest to keep his balance and blushing,"Why the bloody hell is my heart racing?"
"Cuz you love me~" He teases leaning in and kissing him softly. Arthur's eyes widen in shock and he is frozen for a second, then he leans in and returns the kiss.
After a bit Alfred pulls back and asks while blushing "Artie, are we a couple now?"
"I do not know... Are we?" Arthur replies cautiously, "I want to be, do you?"
Alfred nods shyly before leaning in for a quick peck, "then we are officially a couple, so you can come see me whenever you like. Don't worry about bothering me alright?"
"Alright! A-and same with you!" Arthur responds smiling.
"now that that's settled, let's watch a movie, cuddle and eat those burgers I made but we never ate. After I heat them up of course." Alfred proclaims, hugging Arthur close.
"We'll see if you really can cook hm?" Arthur teases, getting up and picking out the movie while Alfred reheats their food.
"Babe, even reheated, I make the best burgers on the planet!" Alfred replies, making Arthur laugh as they snuggle up together and settled in.
