"If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?"
And Francis and Arthur, stumbling and supporting each other, together they are sure to be able to find all the questions.

"A heart who loves beauty doesn't know oldness."
Turkish proverb

"Come on, time to wake up!"
Curtains were drawn with energy, and the person in bed hid his head under the pillow to escape from the merciless light, mumbling various curses.
But also Francis was merciless: with a laugh he stole the pillow from Arthur, freeing it easily from his sleep numb fingers and, with the elegant gesture of a waiter in a restaurant, he took off the covers from him.
The English huddled up, stroking his bare arms and legs to feel again the warmth from which he had been so abruptly deprived, and he opened one eye, fixing that green gem on his mate standing next to him.
"After all we did last night, you still have the nerve to make me get up at dawn?" He asked sleepy, levering on his elbows and rubbing his face.
"Just some centuries ago you wouldn't have complained… You're aging, Arthur!" Francis joked, bending to cast a kiss on that adorable pout.
"You talk! You're some hundreds years older than me!" The other replayed, pinching his cheek in a friendly way, but hard enough to make him fake a wince.
"My people may be. But when I look at you, my heart beats with the energy of the boy I was when I first met you!"
At that, Arthur laced his arms behind the French neck, drawing Francis towards him and hiding his face in the hollow of his neck, mumbling something like "stupid romantic".
But Francis laughed and kissed his unruly hair, feeling the heat of his skin even through his shirt, and he could swear he could also feel the other smiling.
Have you ever seen that series of little book large only 3x4 cm, by Smallworld Publishing, the Irrestibooks? I was just a kid, and my first child love gave me one of those books, titled "I Love You". It was a collection of quotation about love, and when I took it again in hand, I decided to use it to do a thing I've always wanted to do: a collection of moments about my favorite couple, FrUk!
One little story for each quotation! ^_^
But as they aren't endless, if you know some others quotation about love, tell me! I'll dedicate her/him one of those micro-chapters! xD
p.s: the quotations of the prologue is by Lily Tomlin
