"Gonna take the first pee of the new year!" Before anyone noticed, Alfred ran to the bathroom, dragging Arthur along with him.

"Why are you taking me with you?!"

Before Alfred could answer him, they were both in the heavy candle smelling bathroom, with the door shut and locked.
Alfred immediately pinned Arthur to the door and turned off the lights, leaving them both in the dim candle light.
Staring into each others eyes, Alfred leaned his head closer to Arthur's, their lips nearly touching.

"I can't... Wait anymore..." Alfred stuttered quietly. Arthur could see the heavy blush on Alfred's face.

"A-Arthur..."

"Yes...?"

"I...love you..."

Arthur's heart fluttered.

"...Do you-"

Arthur cut him off by closing the gap between their lips.

Alfred broke the kiss and giggled.

"Can you stay the night...?" Alfred asked with a smirk.

Arthur felt his face get hotter.

"O-of course...! Its already morning..." He tried not to stutter.

"I know... Just making sure..." Alfred kissed him again, wrapping his arms around Arthur's thin frame, pulling him close.

They parted again, Arthur landing on the door with a loud thud. His stomach was doing backflips.

"Okay I really have to pee... So... Uhh..."

Arthur opened the door, stepped out, and closed it behind him. Seeing his reflection in a hallway mirror made him realize how red his face was.

Then he realized how quiet it was. Everyone was still up another floor, doing their own thing. He heard a faint giggle escape from downstairs. Who could be down there?

"Hey Alfred, I'll be downstairs." Arthur said to Alfred through the door.

"Okay, I'll be there in a second..."

Curious, Arthur headed down the stairs.

As he turned the corner into the basement, he saw Matthew on the couch where he was sitting before, except Gilbert was there, pinning him to it while kissing his neck.

Matthew panicked at the sight of Arthur, and his face burned rose red.

Arthur ran up the stairs, crashing into Alfred as he turned into the hallway. Alfred caught Arthur into a hug so they wouldn't fall onto the floor, just in time.

"Woah dude, you ran up here like you saw a ghost! Is my house haunted?!"

A quiet giggle escaped from the stairwell.

"Who's down there...?" Arthur was curious now.

"Uhh.. Oh. Gilbert and Matthew are playing pool!" Arthur said loudly, hoping that the two would get the message.

Arthur knew if Alfred saw them like they were, his protective side over Matthew would come out and cause a scene. A violent one.

Gilbert understood, and quickly got off of Matthew and spread pool balls around the table and in the holes to make it seem like they had been playing. He gave Matthew a pool stick and one to himself. They stood around the table as Alfred and Arthur walked down the stairs.

"Act like you know how to play..." Gilbert said through his teeth to Matthew.
