The next day at school, Arthur came in early, as usual. Sitting down, he ignored the other students and started thinking about yesterday's events.

-Flashback-

"Dude, what's wrong?" asked Alfred, noticing Arthur's stop.

"I-it's nothing…." He replied. What was I thinking? The brit whispered to himself. There's no way Alfred would like me….. He sighed and flopped down on the sofa as Alfred rummaged around in the cupboards for snack food, looking up as his name was called.

"What?" he asked. Alfred sighed.

"I said, would you rather have coffee or tea?"

"Tea please." Arthur hummed happily. He loved tea. Alfred was singing a little tune to himself as he put the tea kettle on.

-End flashback-

Arthur frowned. Alfred had then proceeded to make some small pastries – he didn't look like it, but he was actually quite the chef. His frown deepened as Alfred came in, surrounded by students, chatting and laughing. Alfred looked around and smiled.

"Hey Arthur!" the class stopped. Just like that, everyone was silent. Then…..

"Dude…. You know he's cursed, right?" Alfred just continued that brilliant, beaming smile of his.

"No he's not! I'd know, cuz I'm the hero~!" he grinned wider, and walked over to Arthur. And although Arthur had no idea how it happened, having Alfred near him seemed to change something, and soon the other students were crowding around to give him a friendly "hello".

"Bonjour, mon cher~!

"Hola, Amigo!"

"Hey, like, OMG your eyebrows are like so totally awesome!"

"Ah, now you can become one with mother Russia, da?"

All the attention was starting to make him turn red. How did that even work? One minute he had one friend, the next minute he couldn't even count the people surrounding him. It felt…. pretty awesome. He looked up at the person standing next to him, smiling at him, and blushed.

"th-thanks, Alfred…." He whispered.

"No problem, dude!"

-A few days later-

Arthur sighed, flopping down on his bed. He had finally gotten used to the attention of everyone. He smiled to himself. They were all…. Friends. After the Halloween incident a few years ago, everyone had called him cursed, but now they had accepted him. A mischevious smirk appeared on his face as he leapt up and went over to his closet. Alfred had helped him grow more confident, so now that they were used to him, it was time for a surprise…
