AN: I'm so sorry this is just a crappy drabble thingy, but I haven't had much time to write lately (I've been swamped by tests) and my longer stories aren't cooperating at all. So I figured I might as well post this old Tumblr request. I felt like you guys deserved something.
Anyway, I do take requests! Just drop your request in my Tumblr ask box (it's easier to keep them together that way) and I'll do my best. I can't promise I'll get to them quickly, or that the piece will be long, but I'll try to get to them all. My Tumblr url is catastrophicmeltdown. Who knows, requests might help me get out of this writing funk.
Long author's note over. Enjoy the fic!
"Alfred! What the bloody hell happened in here?"
The kitchen was a complete mess. There was flour all over the walls and counters, a stick of butter slowly sliding down the far wall, and something that looked like it could have been a fruit at one point, but was now painted across the doors of the refrigerator.
Alfred smiled up at him, trying and failing to look innocent amid the war zone that had been his kitchen. He rubbed the back of his neck as Arthur carefully manoeuvred toward him.
"Ah. Well, I was making something and forgot to put the top back on, and things escalated from there."
Arthur snorted and plucked Texas off of Alfred's nose, wiping them clean on his shirt before returning them. "And just what were you doing in here in the first place?"
Alfred blinked at him. "You mean you forgot? Awesome! That makes it an even better surprise!"
He dashed to the oven and yanked it open. Arthur watched as he pulled out a cake with the English flag, quickly digging out some candles and lighting them before bringing it to him.
"Happy birthday, Arthur. Blow out the candles and make a wish!"
He stared. How could he have forgotten his own birthday? Then again, at his age it was easy to forget something like that.
He looked into Alfred's smiling face before taking a deep breath and blowing out the candles. He took the cake and placed it on the counter, pulling Alfred's face to his.
"You know you're cleaning up this mess yourself, right?"
Alfred laughed before leaning in and meeting his lips in a kiss.
AN: Reviews and requests are much appreciated. ;w;
