Sunday, 8:36.
That's when Alfred woke up that morning. Which was pretty weird, considering it was a) before 11 and b) Arthur was still asleep. Alfred decided to take advantage of this time by having breakfast, something he usually wouldn't.
He walked into the small kitchen, consisting of a table, a fridge and a counter top that served as the sink as well as two cupboards.
Alfred walked over to the fridge and opened it, only to be met with nothing appetizing. Next, Alfred tried one of the cupboards, the other held dishes, to be greeted with nothing, once more.
Alfred's stomach growled. Damn it! Was there nothing in this entire apartment that he could eat?
Alfred sighed. This meant going out shopping. Going out shopping meant taking a shower, getting dressed, leaving and returning half an hour later, putting things in their respectful place, then finally being able to eat what you wanted. Alfred groaned and face planted on the dark wooden table. Why did life have to be so cruel?
Alfred sucked it up. If he was going to do this, he might as well get it done and over with as soon as possible. He walked into the bathroom, grabbing his towel along the way, and turned the water on.
While Alfred was taking a shower, Arthur in the other room was awoken by the sudden noise he wasn't used to hearing on a weekend morning.
Arthur slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He stood, stumbling a little, and inspected the top bunk. Nobody. Arthur guessed Alfred had woken up and remembered about the fact there was no food that Arthur had told him last night during their chat. Wait a minute... Did Arthur tell him that? He couldn't bloody remember. He just remembered there was no food and he meant to go out shopping today.
Arthur heard the shower, then glanced on the bedside table. 8:43. Arthur hadn't woken up late, Alfred had woken up early. What was this?
Arthur sighed and got up out of bed. At least Alfred's habits were getting better. He inspected the kitchen and managed to find a box of toaster waffles tucked away in a dark corner of a cupboard.
Arthur retrieved the box and reached inside it. Two waffles. Good enough for a small breakfast. Arthur dumped the waffles into the toaster and put them in for a minute while he brought out two plates and some utensils. When the waffles were done, he placed them on the plates, one on each, and began cutting one up and eating it.
A few minutes later, Alfred stumbled into the kitchen, apparently not aware that Arthur was awake nor in the kitchen.
"Oh, look! Magically appearing waffles," he pulled out a chair and sat down. Arthur cleared his throat, bringing Alfred's attention to him. "Huh? Oh, hey, Artie."
"It's rude not to acknowledge other people in the same room as you, git," Arthur scolded. "And for the last time, it's 'Arthur', not 'Artie'."
"Well I'm paying attention to you now, aren't I?" Alfred said, completely ignoring the comment on the nickname. "Hey, where'd you find these? I didn't see them when I looked earlier."
"Well you and your idiotic-ness must have overlooked these, as they were in plain sight," Arthur explained, possibly stretching the truth just a little.
"Anyways, I was gonna go shopping for more food, is th-"
"What?!"
"I said I was going to go shopping for food."
"By yourself?!"
"Yeah, o'course."
"Idiot! You can't go by yourself!"
"And why is that?"
"You would buy all the fatty foods, all the ones that are bad for you!"
"What? No I wouldn't!"
"Then show me you can be responsible."
"I can be plenty responsible if I want to!"
"Show me, then, git."
"But then that'd include me going shopping by myself, which is apparently forbidden now!"
"You're right... I'll have to come with you then!"
Alfred froze. "You? Come with me? Dude, I'm not some five-year-old."
Arthur huffed and crossed his arms. "You act like one."
"I- Just- Just-... Urgh. Know what? Just... Just get in shower, we're going shopping." Alfred gave up trying to deal with this.
So yep. New part! I... There's not really much I can think to say about this one. Oh well.
But! As usual, rating and reviewing is a good thing! So do so it if it pleases you!
