Author's Note:

Thank you guys sooooo much for reading my story! +glomps+

I was super glad to see that I had so many people who had read my story, da~!

Well…here's chapter 3! Just for you! Aaaaand~~~!

Now its Arthur turn~~!!

Yeah…

I shuddup now…


Arthur stared at the man who just suggested that they defy Capitol.

Right beneath the Capitol's noses too! Was he so dense he forgot they have cameras EVERYWHERE?

Arthur opened his mouth for a snappy reply about how 'completely idiotic' it was to do that.

That is, until, he saw the small Canadian boy, who had in fact come up with the 'completely idiotic' plan, sitting on the couch quivering and holding a teddy bear tight to his chest.

His eyes darted around trying to see what everyone thought of his idea.

"I-I think it is a wonderful idea." said Arthur, with fake enthusiasm.

Damn if he didn't have a soft spot kids.

Everyone was silent.

"Plus, with only 12 contestants, it's a good thing we won't all die the first day, aru. Or, good for the Capitol, I mean…aru…" The Chinese man trailed off.

More silence.

"Well," Alfred started to speak, but was suddenly was at a loss for words and had to think for a minute. "As the hero, I think we should go along with the plan! I mean, who cares what the Capit-"

A hand slapped over his mouth, "You bloody git! Do not say things like that! …at least not in public…" Arthur cursed the American under his breath and started back to his room. Again. For the second time in the past ten minutes.

And again, Alfred ran after him yelling about his story about Tony. And again, Arthur told him they could talk in his room.

And for the first time, they actually made it.

In Arthur's room on the train, Alfred and himself sat on his bed. Arthur sipped on some tea, Alfred chatted away.

At one point, the train hit a small bump and Arthur missed his mouth, and tea started to drip down his chin and onto his hand which he held underneath his chin as to catch the falling tea.

Alfred couldn't help but to laugh at the normally neat and clean British man covered in tea.

Alfred reached a hand over and wiped the dripping tea away.

Arthur blushed at the action, but quickly covered it up with an angry stare. "Don't hit on me; just get me a bloody napkin!"

At this Alfred blushed and got up and went into the hall. A maid walked by and he quickly asked for some 'bloody' napkins. The maid gave him an odd stare.

He thanked the lady; ignoring Arthur's cries of hurrying up.

Once back into the room he helped Arthur clean up the little mess. "Wha-what was that about me hitting on you…? …I wasn't doing anything like that…" Alfred looked utterly defeated.

Probably, Arthur thought, because you were hitting on me, he thought then added, and…I liked it.

Arthur blushed and looked away.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Alfred moved around and tried to get a good look at those pure, green eyes. "Um…y'know what? Jus-just forget what I said! Want me to go get you some more tea?" Alfred stuttered. Under his breath he added, "God, he looks so cute when he's embarrassed…" He got up and started to walk toward the door.

Arthur heard what he said, but still needed it to be repeated before it could really make sense. "What did you say?" He asked in his heavy British accent

"Um…I said I was getting you…" Alfred started but was interrupted by Arthur.

"After that." He commanded.

"Uh…" Alfred's face turned a perfect shade of red. "I…I said…your pretty cute."

Arthur jumped up. "I…I am not CUTE!" But sad to say, the blush that had now taken over his face, said different. Arthur was now nose to nose with the American.

"Hmph," was all Alfred said before he crashed their lips together. Arthur's eyes opened wide at what the American was doing. Then, after a few moments, he started to like it.

Here and now. It just felt right. All alone with Alfred; nothing else mattered.

Alfred stepped on Arthur's foot, which made Arthur open his mouth in surprise. And in Alfred's tongue went.

It was just about then that the door opened. And who better to come in than the one who loved to relentlessly taunt them?

Gilbert opened his mouth to speak, "Hey? Have you guys seen-" He stopped dead then started to laugh at the flustered British man. "Oh! Oh now this is funny! I'll be going now~!" He almost sang the last sentence as he ran back down the hall screaming: "HEY EVERYONE!!! GUESS WHAT I JUST SAW!!!"

Arthur sighed as he walked to door and screamed out into the hall, it was basically meant for anyone who could hear him. "Don't believe a word he says!!"

"You know," Alfred walked up behind Arthur, one hand on the door frame to the exact left of Arthur's head, the other on his hip, "You're even cuter when you're angry."

Arthur sighed, closed his eyes then opened them, and turned to face his new-found lover calmly, "Like I said before. I. Am not. Cute."

Alfred placed his free hand underneath Arthur's chin and tilted his head up to look at him. "Really?" Arthur's big, green eyes blinked as they stared up into Alfred's blue ones.

Arthur tried to hide the now growing blush, "P-please don't do this. It-it's very degrading."

Alfred laughed and let his hand fall down to his side.


Arthur watched as the sun slid down behind the horizon. Today had been fun.

And, for the first time, he found someone he honestly loved.

To bad they were about to head into an arena where only one could survive.

And if worst came to worst, one of them might even have to kill the other.

End note: So? How was it?

Please please review!!!

I worked on this thing non-stop for three strait hours, da~!!!

I had a lot of fun writing Gilbert in this chapter, da~!

Also: I'm not sure if a train really can hit a bump…but…if it can't just pretend that something else happened that made Arthur spill his tea, da~!

And I would still like to know who you think will win…!

Also, I realize this had basically nothing to do with the real plot; it was just kind of what was going on during that (apparently really long) train ride to the Capitol!

I promise that in the next chapter they will arrive at the Capitol, and by chapter 6 they will be in the actual games, da~! Promise! +puts hand on heart+

One more thing! Thank you to xxbochixx for telling me about the mistakes, I went back and fixed them…I hope that that was all of them at least…

'Kay, I shuddup now!
