This story was actually a dream of mine. Dreams are the greatest fan fiction inspiration ever!

Rated T for possible later chapters. If I don't add more chapters, then the rating would go down. Enjoy!

School Ground Confessions

The sky was already turning a dark burnt orange as the sun and the moon exchanged the roles, switching day for night. Alfred was sitting in one of the empty classrooms, listening to his iPod and watching the sun come down. It was almost time. He took out one of the ear buds and began to count down, as any teenager would if they had perfect timing.

'5...4...3...2...1...'

The loud speaker clicked before a voice was heard throughout the empty halls and rooms of the school. "All students remaining in the building are to exit immediately. I repeat, all students are to exit and return to their dorm or homes."

Alfred smiled before standing and walking calmly out of the classroom. This had become a once a month habit, but it wasn't an annoying one. He had a purpose and was definitely going to fulfill it today. Alfred walked down the hall, his eyes sneakily searching for a certain British student. At the end of the hall, a soft laughter was heard by both a male and a female. Ahead of Alfred was Seychelles and Arthur, laughing and walking towards the exit of the building.

"Arthur," Seychelles said after she stopped laughing. "Never again am I staying this late. Look, the sky is already dark!"

"Ngh, sorry Seychelles, I promise tomorrow we can leave earlier."

"Good!" She said as she continued to walk to her dormitory. "It's nice of you to walk me to the dorm though. Thank you."

"You're wel–"

"Hey guys!" Alfred yelled out, catching up to the two, also cutting Arthur's sentence off.

"A-Alfred?" Arthur questioned, looking back to see the American approaching them.

"Hi Alfred!" Seychelles said with a smile.

"Hey Seychelles! Hey Artie!"

"Arthur... And what are you doing still here? Shouldn't you be home already?" Arthur questioned as the three began to walk.

"Well yeah, but I was helping Lovino with some stuff."

"...Lovino hates you... With a passion..." Arthur pointed out.

"...Did I say Lovino, I meant Feliciano." Alfred smiled nervously, obviously lying. "Plus, I can't let Seychelles walk alone with you! God knows what you would do to her!"

"W-What are you implying?"

"Oh you know, you could rape her, like in that bush right there!" Alfred pointed to one of the school's large bushes.

"I would do no such thing! Unlike you, I actually have manners and I respect the female gender!"

"Uh huh, still, I'm a hero and I need to protect everyone! So that means I can't leave Seychelles alone with you." Alfred stuck his tongue out then smirked sarcastically.

Arthur mumbled a whatever along with a few other words that an adult would scowl him for saying on school grounds. The three began to walk towards the girls' dormitories in silence, with the exception of the late Spring breeze brushing by and their feet clicking against the pavement of the school's brick and cement grounds. To break the silence, Seychelles quickly spoke up in her cheerful tone.

"You know, you guys often disagree a lot."

"We do not!" Both boys said at the same time then faced each other, glares spiking each other.

"You do. But Francis once told me that people who don't get along with each other are actually the people who like each other. Do you like each other?"

"No!" Both males once again said in unison. They growled angrily at each other before turning away so they wouldn't have to see each others face. Seychelles giggled before stopping in front of the gate for the girls' dormitories. "Well, thanks you guys!" She gave each male a hug before opening the short gate and walking through.

"Well now it's you and me, Artie!" Alfred said as he slung an arm across Arthur's shoulder and started heading towards the boys' dormitories opposite of the girls'.

"It's Arthur!" The British student said, stressing his name with his British accent. Alfred let out a laugh and mimic the way it was said, "Arthur." in a failed British accent. Arthur scowled before ripping apart from Alfred's arm and walking next to him. Alfred wasn't satisfied that Arthur had no contact, so he grabbed his hand softly and gave it a light squeeze. Arthur felt the hand enclose his and blushed lightly.

Memories of when Arthur was a first year in college and Alfred was a second year in high school rushed through Arthur's mind. He remembered Alfred asking question after question about how the school was and what there was in it. If it was fun or not, and if there were cute girls. Arthur sighed as he remembered the younger Alfred grabbing his hand and walking side by side with him, a reflection of the action done now.

"Hey Arthur..." Alfred said, snapping the student out of his trance of memories.

"Y-Yes?"

Alfred pointed the thumb of his free hand back at the large building and said, "We're here."

"Oh," Arthur started. "Well, come on."

"Actually, I don't live in the dorms. I still live at my house."

Another 'oh' escaped Arthur's lips before he asked, "Where do you live?"

"Well... About four blocks down towards the direction of the girls' dorms." Alfred grinned shyly.

"But... That's about ten long blocks, why did you walk me to my dorm?"

"No reason."

Silence quickly filled the air between the two males. A smile played on Arthur's lips as he opened the short gate and slowly let go of Alfred's hand. He hesitated at the words then said, "T-Thanks..."

"No problem."

The two stared at each other softly for a while before Arthur turned around to walk up to the building. Alfred hesitated then quickly grabbed Arthur's arm, pulling him back as he mumbled a 'wait!'. Arthur was pulled back and stumbled into the gate. Confused but not so much angry, he looked up at Alfred, questioningly. "W-Wha –"

Arthur was cut off again when a set of lips lightly pressed themselves against his. His eyes widen as a blush crossed his cheeks. Alfred pulled back shortly after then said, "Arthur... I... I love you..." The young boy was confused and flattered at the same time. He knew he loved Alfred back, but could he tell him that. All the moments he kept it hidden, was he ready to let it all out? Alfred saw the confused look across Arthur's face and took it into consideration.

"I can see you're bother, o-or confused... I understand. You don't have to respond now, but I would like to know how do you feel about me... I'll ask again tomorrow. And if you're not ready, I'll wait till you are ready... Okay?"

Arthur nodded at the words, smiling softly before walking to the building. After watching Arthur enter the building, Alfred began his walk back home. It was worth staying the extra hours, walking the extra blocks. If was all worth it since it was able to help him get his feelings off his chest.

Arthur walked up the stairs on the east wing of the building, making his way to his room. Once at the door, he took out his key and opened the door to enter the room. After closing the door behind him as he entered, he walked over to his bed and dropped onto it, landing on his back. Arthur glared at the ceiling, hoping it would help him choice, but he knew it was completely impossible.

Was he ready to tell Alfred his feelings? Did he even want to tell Alfred? 'Maybe after a good night's sleep, the answer would come to me,' he thought as he closed his eyes and snugged into the bed, not even bothering to take off his uniform.

A/N: Should I continue this? I mean, yeah it would be a huge middle finger in the face if I just left it as it is. I might update with like... one or two more chapters within the next week or two. Okay, hoped you like! *walks away, thinking if she should continue or not*
