"No Alice! I won't allow you to do it!"

"What are you now? My dad?" Alice scoffed at Alfred's statement, while balancing two boxes of decorations on her arms.

Alfred sulked at her reply and Alice's features softened. " Oh Alfred, they needed a volunteer at the kissing booth. Don't worry. One, I can't sell anything; all selling booths were taken up. Two, I have only organized this carnival; I want to take part in it too. Three, it's only an hour, then I'm done and we can go around if you want. Four, who would possibly in their right mind would want to kiss me, the student council president?" Alice reassured him, giving him a rare smile.

Alfred huffed in annoyance. I would. "There's a lot of boys who leap at the chance, you're pretty, smart and kind, who wouldn't want to-" he caught himself midsentence, feeling his cheeks heating up. He cursed internally; being stubborn and annoyed had nearly made him confess his feelings for Alice.

Hearing that, Alice blushed. Alfred had never called her 'pretty'. Who knew her best friend thought of her that highly? "Well thank you Alfred, that's sweet of you." Still noticing the pout in her friends face. "Come on don't be so sour, this is a carnival, and you love carnivals!"

"Alfred stop pestering Alice, she already agreed with us to work in the kissing booth, it's just only an hour!" a voice interrupted their conversation. Turning around, they were both greeted by the sight of two grinning girls, Mei and Elizeveta.

Alfred immediately frowned at the two girls; they were the reason why Alice agreed to this. A lot can happen in an hour. " You know why don't' you both work in the kissing booth instead of Alice?" he questioned coolly, trying to mask his frustration; not noticing the knowing looks shared between the two girls.

" The kissing booth is only for girls who are single. Mei here already has Kiku and I have Roddy. The last time I checked Alice was single. Therefore she's suitable for this! Come on, we even got Lovina to join!" Elizeveta exclaimed with Mei nodding her head along enthusiastically.

Alfred let out a defeated sigh. There was no way he could try and persuade Alice to not work in the kissing booth, she was too stubborn. He looked over and saw Alice still focused on balancing the boxes, oblivious to the conversation.

He rushed over to her and lifted the boxes with ease. "Here I'll do it." And walked towards the booth. Alice smiled at the gesture, muttering a small 'thank you' before finding herself in between Elizeveta and Mei.

"Alfred's jealous~" Mei sang. Alice was startled by the sudden statement from Mei and quirked a brow at her. " Why would he be? Don't tell me he wants to be in the kissing booth?" she asked, earning a faceplam from both girls.

"Don't be silly! Alfred's jealous of the boys who would be kissing you when you are working at the kissing booth! He wants you for himself!" Elizeveta stated exasperatedly.

Alice turned red after hearing that " W-What! No way! He-"

"Honhonhon do my ears deceive me? Alice volunteered to work in the kissing booth?" Francis cut in the conversation along with Gilbert and Antonio. " I might pay for it to share the l'amour with you." He winked at Alice, whose face had already turned sour and disgusted.

With a 'humph' Alice replied with a sneer. " I'll give you a kiss alright. A kiss with my fist on your frog face."

Francis put his hand over his heart mockingly "Oh you wound me so mon petit lapin! However I still won't miss this chance to get a kiss from you. Even Gilbert would want it. Right?" He turned to the albino who in turn grinned. "Hell yeah I am! After that I'll get even more awesome because I kissed the stuffy ol' student council president and survived to tell the tale!"

Alice was starting too regret her decision. Why did she even agree onto this in the first place? Well at least Antonio is pinning after Lovina, not me. Alice groaned in frustration, she couldn't back out now, her pride wouldn't let her. She snapped out of her thought when she felt a shadow over her. Alfred had appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her protectively, shielding her from the trio.

Alice felt her cheeks flare up again. Why was Alfred acting extra protective today? As Alfred opened his mouth to say something, the school bell rang, signaling the starting of the carnival.

"Oh that's the bell! Chop chop Alice! Into the booth! You're up first!" Elizeveta exclaimed, dragging Alice to the booth with Mei giggling along.

Alfred's dreaded time has started.

Students started pouring in and Alfred started to grow more alert when he caught the sight of boys looking at the kissing both. To his horror he saw Mathias, the Danish boy reaching into his pocket, Francis and Gilbert counting coins in their hands, and the vice president Wang Yao was making his way over!

Alarm bells were ringing in his head. There were so many boys!

"Seems like Alice is pretty popular eh? A teasing voice asked behind him. Alfred whipped his head around and found himself staring at his twin brother Matthew.

Alfred grabbed Matthew by the shoulders. "Mattie! You gotta help me! We have to stop them before they kiss Alice!"

"No"

Alfred sighed in relief "Thanks man! Wait. WHAT?!" he exclaimed.

Matthew's lips formed a smirk "Nope" he said, popping the 'p'. " I was thinking of buying one of her kisses too. She's such a pretty and nice girl, don't you think? Wait, you do."

Alfred's mouth formed a big round 'O'. He couldn't believe his introverted brother would do this!

"However…" Matthew continued. "I won't kiss her if you do it first." He smiled. "Oh look, Mathias is already handing her the money. I best go queue up." And with that he slipped off, leaving a stupefied Alfred behind.

Alfred looked towards the booth again and his eyes widened with utter horror as Alice accepted the money from Mathias.

Instinctively, he ran over towards the booth, snatched the money out of Alice's hand and shoved it at Mathias. " You guys are not allowed to kiss her!" He shouted, shocking everyone by his actions.

Alice was the first to snap out of shock, folding her arms around her chest. " Alfred, that was extremely rude, I have to sell-" she wasn't able to finish her sentence as a fifty-dollar note was shoved in front of her.

"Here! Alfred said desperately. "I'm buying all your kisses!" his face burning red as his outstretched hand held the note.

Alice felt her jaw drop and her eyes widened as wide as saucers. Her heart was pounding like mad and her face was steaming red.

"Ooh. You'll have to kiss her that many times then." Mei chimed in, face smiling cheekily along with Elizeveta.

"Uh…Ok" Alfred replied. Slowly he held Alice by the arms. "Heh, let's get over with it right?" he joked awkwardly. Alice nodded her head mutedly, too shocked to reply.

The moment their lips touched, Alice felt a tingle down her spine and spread all over her body from top to toes, but was cut short when she felt her glasses clinked with Alfred's. Alfred pulled back, blushing heavily. "Heh, the glasses are in the way." He reached up and slowly took away Alice's glasses, pocketing it in his breast pocket; the leant back down towards Alice.

Alice's eyes fluttered shut as Alfred closed the gap between them again. The second lasted longer and Alice felt her insides turn into goo. She really did like Alfred's lips.

Alfred's heart was doing somersaults in his rib cage and mind cheering. Alice tasted like tea to him. He cupped her face and felt her sigh in contentment, making him even more confidence.

As they exchanged more kisses, each kiss getting more passionate than the previous, Alice had her arms around Alfred's neck, playing with his hair while Alfred has his hands on her hips, pulling her closer to him. He felt as he had died and went to heaven.

They had lost track of the time and the amount of kisses shared. When at last Alice broke the kiss, she leaned her forehead against his, smiling shyly. Both of them were breathing heavily, staring into each other's eyes, lost in their own world.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Alfred asked breathlessly.

"Yes" She breathed out and Alfred kissed her again. Not noticing the people behind them.

"Oh man, that was close, I nearly had to kiss her!" Matthias exclaimed in a whisper to everyone.

"Yes aru! Please don't drag me into one of your matchmaking schemes again Mei!" Yao chided at his little sister.

"At least I got to rile Alfred up hehe." Matthew chuckled.

Elizeveta smiled widely at the bunch of boys. "Thank you for helping out guys!" Sharing a look with Mei, she smirked "Now it's Lovina's turn."


I have a confession to make: I have never dated before and I hardly read romance novels, it's all imagination. So I'm sorry there's not enough romance in it. I tried T.T Anyway thanks everyone who read this! I think I'm going to make a sad fic next, for a tribute to MH17 and MH350.
