That morning had started out like any other, Arthur had gotten out of bed to make Alfred breakfast before he woke up, as he set the table he heard a loud thud "looks like Alfred's up" he said aloud before putting down the plates to go check on him.
As Arthur entered the bedroom he prepared himself for what he knew would surely come, "A- Al? Are you awake? I heard a lou-"
"Artie?" he was interrupted by Alfred's sudden embrace "where were you? I woke up and you weren't here I thought you left me for good" cried the American with tears in his eyes
Alfred had been having nightmares for about a year now in which he dreamt of Arthur and how he had grown bored of him and suddenly left one day leaving him in the cold empty house they shared with not even a goodbye to comfort him.
He had been abandoned by his mother when he was just a toddler and developed a terrifying phobia of being abandoned once again. He could remember that day perfectly the way his mother had been silent the whole morning and the tears in her eyes as she told him she'd return in a matter of minutes before disappearing into the distance and leaving him to wait forever in front of the fire station.
"Honestly Alfred" scolded the Brit "How many times do I have to tell you, it's just a dream" hugging the now sobbing American Arthur whispered "I love you too much to ever leave your side"
"Really?" asked Alfred while wiping away the remaining tears
"Really!" reassured the Brit "Besides we've only been married a year" said Arthur showing off his wedding band with a warm smile "I wouldn't give up on this marriage that easily"
"Arthur" mumbled the American in amazement "I won't let you down" shouted Alfred with a determined look on his face.
"I'm not worried" said the Brit lovingly as he placed his hand on the American's cheek and gave him a peck. "Now then, how about breakfast"
After breakfast Arthur left for work, he was an accountant working for one of the big companies. He was a bit of a workaholic practically got off at the thought of overtime. Alfred also worked for a big company the only difference was…
"May I take your order?" He worked in a fast food place
After getting married Arthur insisted that Al stay home and be his loving house wife he would clean around the house, cook for him, run him a bath when he got home yes it was all going to be perfect " Hey I'm the one that tops remember?" was all the American said.
Alfred had actually wanted Arthur to stay home, every morning he would kiss him goodbye as he left for work and every evening when he returned he would say 'Welcome home darling would you like dinner or a bath or perhaps…me?'. As much as he wanted that he knew that work meant everything to Arthur, he couldn't be selfish.
"Fine" said the American "but theres no way I'm putting all the stress on your shoulders I'll get a job too!"
"You? No offence Al but who would hire a college drop out?" said the Brit trying to hide the fact that he was touched by Al's thoughtfulness
"Give me a break I'm only one class away from becoming a kindergarten teacher. I'm just on a break is all"
"On a break? For 4 years?" said the Brit with a raised eyebrow "Well then I'd say you've rested your brain long enough. Don't you think it's time to go back?"
"Are you kidding I don't have time for school now I have to work!" Said the American while grabbing his coat and heading out the front door
