Author's Note: Hello~!

First time writer, so bear with me please~!

If you don't like OCs or yaoi, don't complain if you decide to read this fic.

Given an M rating just 'cuz I'm being ultra-cautious. May or may not eventually add chapters worth that rating. Only time will tell.

Criticism is very welcome. Enjoy!


The silence grew unbearably tense as the words settled

"Didn't know you had a sense of humor." They words sounded too breathless and quiet to be coming from his mouth.

Dark eyes flashed in annoyance. "This isn't a joke."

"Good, 'cuz that wasn't very funny."

"Just…agh!"He threw his hands in the air, exasperated at where the conversation was going. This wasn't how he had planned it. "Just answer the damn question!"

The man who stood over him shook his head. This was something out of a nightmare. "Have you been drinking tonight?"

"I'm not drunk!"

He had to be in order to spout such nonsense. "Don't worry! Let's forget what you just said and if you're lucky, maybe I won't tell the others at the next meeting. Haha-"

"ALFRED! Will you be serious for once in your goddamn life?"

He stopped his laugh and stared back at the other man. His companion had stood up at the exclamation, looking a bit more imposing in his request.

"…you really mean that, don't you?"

A frustrated sigh. "Yes."

Alfred looked away from the glare. "Why me? I mean, we're not best buds or anything, and I'm pretty sure you can find someone else to-"

"Because you're the most idealistic person I could think of who would agree to this."

Straight to the point. Alfred wasn't sure if he should feel flattered by the curt response. He was thinking too much again.

"Just answer the question."

Alfred frowned. This went against everything they had been taught. It wouldn't end well.

"Please?"

Alfred hesitated. The plea had a hint of desperation to it. And heroes did not abandon the desperate.

"Yes."
