"Arthur..."
"..."
"Arthur..."
"..."
"Arthur!"
"I said no!"
Francis leaned back on his chair, crossing his arms over his chest.
He suddenly wiggled his eyebrows making the boy in front of him groan.
"But it's meant to be. You look adorable together and I know you like him"
"Francis...we are dropping this now"
"So you admit it?"
"Admit what?"
"You like him"
"I never admitted anything!"
"Kirkland! Bonnefoy! What is so important that you must interrupt my class?"
Both boys jumped at the sound of their teacher's voice.
Francis was about respond when Arthur covered his mouth and said,
"Nothing sir. Nothing of importance!"
The teacher glared at them before turning back to the board.
Arthur sighed before glaring at Francis.
"You are lucky I stepped in. You could have gotten detention or worse, you could have gotten both of us detention"
France shrugged.
"You never did answer me Arthur"
Arthur's gaze went over to the root of the problem.
Dirty blonde hair with an ahoge sticking straight up. Over his uniform a brown bomber jacket.
Bright blue eyes framed by glasses and a smile that was as bright as a light.
Arthur bit his lip and he could hear Francis trying not to laugh.
He turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
"What?"
"Undress him with your eyes why don't you?"
Arthur spluttered as his face turn a bright pink.
"What is wrong with you?"
He could only ask as he tried to get a dirty image of his mind.
"Face it Arthur. You like Mister Alfred F. Jones"
Both of them turned to said boy at the front. He was busy writing something that was obviously not involved in any way with the class.
Several balls of paper were decorating his desk, yet another one falling to the tiled floor.
"Mister Jones, what is it you got there?" The teacher asked, several students moving away from him, noticing the edge to his voice.
"Nothing important teach! Just something I wanted to do"
"Mister Jones! Are you asking for detention?!"
Alfred raised his hands.
"No no. I'm fine. Continue with your class"
The teacher growled but did as told.
"He is an idiot" Arthur muttered.
"Yeah, but you lov-"
A sudden paper appeared on Arthur's desk. He looked up to meet the hazel eyes of a certain classmate.
"Arthur~ Alfredo wants me to give you this!" Feliciano said.
"His name is Alfred" Francis said.
"I know but his name is too close to Alfredo which reminds me of pasta. I love pasta."
Feliciano said before he saw the teacher look over to them.
"Just pass it to Kiku when you respond" Feliciano told him before turning back to his seat behind the blonde German.
"You're already passing love notes in class. That's adorable"
"I'm warning you" Arthur said before he looked down at the paper in his hands. Sighing, he opened it up to see red writing on it.
'Hey Artie! So after you helped me with Math class I decided to make it up to you. There's this New ice cream shop and I really want to go there so how 'bout it?'
_ Yes. _ No.
Arthur's eyebrows knitted together.
"That's a weird way to asked somebody on a date. Still a romantic thought"
Arthur decided to let that one slide. Should he go? It was nice of Alfred to treat him to ice cream after Arthur became a tutor for him. But wasn't it a bit much?
Arthur nibbled on the eraser of his pencil before sighing.
"Psst! Kiku!"
The Japanese boy turned as his name was called. Noticing the paper in Arthur's hand, he grabbed it and passed it to the front.
"So what was it?" Francis asked curiously.
Before he could answer, another paper made it to Arthur's desk. Francis leaned over to read what it said.
'Cool! Meet me at the park at 5 o'clock.
- Alfred
"So you accepted?" Francis asked.
Without glancing up, Arthur nodded. Francis noticed that he was looking at his wrist.
"I know you've been a bit skeptical with dating ever since you found out but you shouldn't let that keep you down"
As the class was dismissed, Francis and Arthur walked through the halls. Making it to their lockers, Arthur shook his head.
"I know but it's still nerve wrecking"
Arthur looked down at the words etched into his skin. They were his soulmate's last words.
Every person were born with this. These words were the confirmation of who was your soulmate, but it came with a price. As soon as those words were spoken and you had confirmed who it was, that person's fate was sealed. Suicide, murder, car accidents, all of these and more happen after your soulmate recites the words engraved on your wrist. The worst part, it could happen at any moment. At least in Arthur's case. Francis had already figured it out that his soulmate would say the words on their deathbed but Arthur's were so common. It scared him.
"See ya Arthur!"
"That's why you should have fun. If you find out who it is and they die, you'll have good memories of them." Francis said.
Arthur nodded.
"I know but it is still scary"
Francis patted his back. They had reached the entrance.
"Just call me after you date."
"FRANCIS"
Arthur looked around the park. Elders, couples and families were taken in the last rays of the sun before it disappeared in exchange for the moon. Arthur prefered the night to the day. More calm and it refreshed him from the heat of the day.
"Hey Artie!"
Arthur looked up.
"Ready to eat some ice cream?"
Alfred wore a white shirt with the Captain America shield in the middle, a blue hoodie over it, a pair of blue jeans and some shoes to finish it off.
Arthur had a white shirt with the British flag, a black coat, some black jeans and a pair of shoes.
"Sure"
Alfred grinned before grabbing Arthur's hand and taking him to the shop.
"Here it is!"
Arthur looked at the baby blue and pink interior of the shop. Ads covered the walls and some tables with seats were arranged around.
He then glanced over the flavors behind the glass. A lot of them looked like they were just ready to give diabetes but others looked really tasty.
"What would you like?"
Arthur jumped at Alfred's voice.
"Ummm. A mint chocolate chip cup with sprinkles please"
The employee nodded before turning to Alfred.
"I want the same thing as him but with chocolate ice cream"
Arthur had drifted off to a seat as he waited for Alfred.
"Is that all?"
Alfred had noticed Arthur looking over the flavors.
"Well..."
Arthur was looking through his text conversation with Francis.
F - So how's the date? ;)
A - Shut up
F - It's not like you wouldn't date him~
A - You're still on that?
F - Not until you admit it
A - Admit what? That you have an unhealthy obsession with my love life?
F - Rude!
A - Whatever
F - I have to go. Don't want to risk the teacher busting me
A - Where are you?
F - Detention w/ Antonio and Gil
A - What? Why?
F - Bye Arthur
A - Answer me you Frog!
F - Love you 3
A - I hate you
Arthur looked up from his phone to see Alfred carrying three cups.
"Uh, why three?"
"Well, I saw you looking through the flavors and I wanted to try some as well so."
Arthur saw a large cup with some small spoons on it. There were two spoons per flavor.
"Woah"
Alfred chuckled.
"Let's dig in!"
"So Artie, how's the ice cream?"
Arthur looked up from his ice cream just to covered his mouth as he tried to hide his laugh.
"What?" Alfred asked confused.
"You have ice cream on your nose"
Alfred looked confused and before he could react, Arthur had reached over the table and wipe the ice cream with a napkin.
"There" Alfred's cheeks turn a bit pink. It was the first time he had seen such a bright smile come from Arthur.
"You should smile more"
"Huh?"
Arthur looked at Alfred in confusion.
"I mean, you have a nice smile and you don't tend to show it often. It suits you" Alfred smiled as Arthur felt his face turn pink.
"Thank you"
"Thanks for the treat Alfred."
Alfred grinned as he leaned against the wall of Arthur's house.
"No prob. You did help me"
Arthur nodded with a smile. Opening the door, he turn to Alfred.
"See you tomorrow then"
"Yeah..."
The air turned a bit awkward as they both stood there, shifting their weight foot to foot.
"So-"
"Well-"
They both said at the same time before apologizing and telling the other to continue.
Arthur shivered as a gust of wind passed through them. Sighing, Alfred leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Arthur.
"See ya Dude!"
Arthur watched as Alfred walked off. He felt the corners of his lips turn up as he saw Alfred turn around and wave at him before turning the street and disappearing out of sight. Arthur chuckled before closing the door.
"Awwwwww! That's so nice of him. Grumpy Ludwig would never take me out for ice cream even if I had tutored him" Feliciano said as Arthur finished talking.
Ludwig decided to ignore him as he continued reading a manual.
Arthur raised an eyebrow but decided to not question it.
"But tell me, did you kiss? Did he go inside your house? Did you-?"
By this point, Arthur's ears had turned pink as Francis kept speaking.
"Look. He walked me to my house, we said our goodbyes and he went on his way. Nothing happened, so will you stop being so suggestive?!"
"See Arthur, this is why your sex life is so depressing"
Arthur was very close to smacking Francis with the nearest textbook...or desk.
"Oh look, Alfred arrived" Kiku said.
Ludwig, Feliciano, Francis and Arthur looked up to see Alfred walking into class, a boy not too close behind him.
"Is he a new student?" Arthur asked.
The boy had wavy blonde hair, a curl with some sort of loop dangled over his face. Purple eyes were rimmed by square glasses. A red hoodie, blue jeans and a pair of sneakers were what he had on.
"Everyone! Take your seats, we have a new student."
The guy was shaking as he was pushed at the front.
'Poor Guy...' Arthur thought.
" Alright! This is my bro Matthew but Matt and Mattie are fine. He's from up north in Canada and he likes maple syrup. He isn't much of a talker but he's a cool Dude. Be nice to him!" Alfred introduced before sitting down. Matthew gave a small smile at his brother before looking at the class.
"I- I also like hockey and pancakes are one of my favorite foods"
"He's so cute!" Feliciano whispered beside me making me shake my head.
"Alright Mr. Williams, I will be assigning someone to show you around the school since your brother has something to do"
The glare that Alfred received made Arthur think that their ice cream date may have been a substitute for something.
Arthur froze at the thought.
'Did I just refer to it as a date? Ugh, Francis stop screwing me up like this!' Arthur turned to glare at the boy but realized that the whole class was staring at him.
He was about to ask what was wrong when the teacher asked,
"Mr. Kirkland, Mr. Bonnefoy Will one of you be so kind to show Mr. Williams the school?"
Arthur and Francis shared a glance before Francis stood up and said,
"I'll do it"
The teacher nodded before turning around and writing something.
Arthur grabbed the French male's sleeve and brought him down.
"Don't get any funny ideas, Francis" Arthur warned.
The other male smirked.
"I won't, look out for Gilbert though. You know how he is with new students" Francis walked up to the Canadian as the teacher handed them excuse slips. As they walked out, Francis winked at Arthur which he glared back to.
Leaning back on his, he sighed.
"I haven't even spoken to the guy and I already am worried over him"
"Well, I can't blame you. Knowing how Francis acts." Ludwig replied to Arthur.
