AN: Part of this first half was based off of Independance Day in the original manga (though it's titled Happy Birthday). I was reading it and forgive me Arthur but I couldn't help but think it XD I was reading it raw, so Arty's dialogue is my rough translation. Oh and furthermore Im going by memory so yea XD


Reason to hate

Arthur crossed his arms, feeling weak. He looked at Alfred. "I hate this. Today is the worst. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't work. I feel horrible. I can't wait for this whole blasted week to be over and done." he spat.

Alfred smiled and leaned back onto the brick wall. "Aww. Is it that time of the month for our precious little Brit?"

Arthur grabbed him by the collar and with his spare hand held a gun above Alfred's nether regions. "Say another word, damn wanker. I dare you." the Englishman hissed.

Reason to love

Alfred smiled. While deep in his heart he was scared like shit, he was still glad to see the man. He leaned forward and kissed Arthur on the nose. "I'm glad you came anyway." he said, mentally debating whether or not to add on "Nii-chan". He decided he'd save it; tease Arthur a bit later that night.

Arthur blushed and turned away. "Damnable git." he mumbled, red to the ears. Alfred hugged him from behind, and Arthur froze up. "What're you doing?"

"Hey, Arthur. Everyone else's presents were nice, but..." he paused, and brought his mouth up to the Brit's ear, "there's this one thing I'd really love for my birthday. Francis taught me some new tricks..."


Alfred's birthday is July 4th... Who cares! January starts with a "J", too! XD Lets use our imagicnations. (No, no typo there. That was 100% intentional XD)
