The next morning Arthur awoke with a start. He felt someone up against his back, breathing onto his neck. The worst part, he wasn't even in his own home. Thank god he wasn't naked but he was not wearing his own clothes.
Different scenarios raced through the brits mind. He remembered going to the bar and getting drunk. There was a rather high possibility someone could have taken advantage of him, but to make matters worse, the person up against his back was most definitely male.
Now, don't get him wrong. Arthur's bi. But he only goes with guys if he REALLY likes them… since girls are just so much cuter… and softer… and not to mention they have- Artie's inside rant was cut off by a yawn behind him.
"Artie? Are ya awake?" Arthur froze. That voice. Alfred? The brit turned and indeed was face to face with the obnoxious American.
"Bloody hell Alfred! You scared the shit out of me! I thought I had-… well you know… whatever! What happened last night?" The American's face turned bright red at what Arthur had been suggesting had possibly happened.
"I didn't- I wouldn't! D-Do some thing like THAT to someone who's drunk!" A snicker cut off the embarrassed blonde's rampage.
"Hahahaha! You're too innocent Al, really! I bet you're still a virgin as well! Hahahahaha- huh?" Arthur turned to see a very depressed and out of character American. "Eh? Wait… you mean you're really a vir-"
Artie was cut off by a loud scream and Alfred jumping on top of him, straddling the smaller blonde subconsciously. "AHHH! Don't say it! It's pathetic I know but don't say it out loud!"
"Don't worry Alfred! Many people are still virgins in this world! It's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Al looked down at the worried "Gentleman" he was straddling.
"R-really?" Arthur smiled reassuringly.
"Yeah….so would you mind getting off of me?" Alfred noticed their position and blushed before quickly hopping up off the brit.
"S-sorry…" The emerald eyed blonde brushed himself off and stood up, straightening out his clothes.
"No problem… I'm still glad I didn't end up having sex with a complete stranger while I was drunk last night hahaha it's happened before…. Not a good thing, trust me." An odd feeling rushed through the American's system which he quickly placed as jealousy, but the feeling was quickly dismissed and forgotten about when Alfred heard the smaller man scream.
"Ah! Bloody hell! I have to turn in my manuscript in an hour! It's still at my home! Alfred! You have a car, correct!" Al nodded. "Good. You're coming with me!" With that, the brit dragged Alfred out the door, both still in their pajamas.

As the two made it into the shorter blonde's apartment and raced to the computer that had been placed in sleep mode.
Arthur quickly popped up the screen for his already completed script he had decided to thankfully finish before leaving to go get a drink the night before. "Al. Will you go get me an envelope for my manuscript? It's on top of the filing cabinet."
Alfred nodded and walked over to the filing cabinet, picking up one of the many envelopes.
Papers started to fly out of the printer one after another, startling the taller of the two boys. Arthur walked over to the printer and started to tap his foot in a rhythm, which Al couldn't help but find slightly adorable.
Since the brit was so busy with the printer, Al decided to take a look around the room and into the halls of the rest of his apartment.
He noticed a few family photos on the walls and on the study desk which also held the others computer. The boys in the pictures all looked slightly older than Arthur, and in each of the photos they were either messing with his hair or finding some other way to piss off the younger brit. Except for one photo, Alfred noted, it was the one hanging on the wall which had the three boys from before, Arthur, two adults, (Which Alfred assumed was their parents) and then a younger baby boy. They looked like an ideal family, all happy and smiling.
"Alfred. ALFRED!" The American snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Artie, who was glaring at him while he held a stack of papers. "The envelope."
"Oh… Oh! Right, right! Sorry…. Here." Al handed the annoyed blonde the envelope. Once the papers were placed inside, the two ran out the door to meet up with Francis. Alfred couldn't help but take one last glance at the family photo.

"Late are we, mon chere~?" Francis more stated then asked as his hand slipped down Arthur's chest.
"DON'T call me that! And stop touching me!" Arthur smacked the Frenchman's hand away, earning him a small pout from the latter.
"Oui, oui, I understand mon ami~ Now what did you bring me~?" Francis reached out and grabbed the envelope out of Artie's impatient hands, happy with what he saw as he opened it.
"The manuscript. Completed." The brit crossed his arms in triumph. Obviously proud of his work.
"Oui~ This looks perfect, non? I shall have this ready for you in a few days. Now if you will excuse me~ I have to go meet up with Gilbert who has a friend he would like for me to meet~ Honhonhonhonhonhon~" With that being said Francis left without any other comments.
"Thank god he's gone." Arthur sighed as he slid down into an empty seat in the café, exhausted. "I don't know how any man or woman can deal with a pervert like that…" Alfred decided to take the seat across from the Englishman, glad to finally take a break from that busy morning.
"Yeah… That dude's pretty weird! Hahaha! But he's a good friend…." Arthur lifted a rather large eyebrow at the American before him.
"Oh? You don't mean you…." Alfred stared innocently at Arthur, waiting for the man to finish his sentence. "Oh bloody hell you twit! Do I REALLY have to say it out loud! Fine. You mean you have feelings for Francis? As in you LOVE him?" The last part wasn't really needed but Iggy had to make sure the point got across.
W-what! N-no! I really mean just as a friend! Jeez Art! Jumping to conclusions…." Arthur twitched at the nickname but quickly ignored it and pretended he hadn't heard it.
"You were leading it on… not my fault…." Al pouted and crossed his arms in annoyance.
"I was not." Arthur rubbed his temples. It was as if he were dealing with a five year old.
"Yeah, sure whatever…" A waiter walked by and the gentleman decided to get the man's attention. "Excuse me…. Ah, yes. I would like Fish and chips please. Also some water please." He finished it off with a trademark gentlemanly smile, could almost fool anyone.
"Hahahaha! So british! I want… let's see…. Five hamburgers…. .three large fries, your biggest milkshake you have here, and…. A large coke." The waiter stared blankly at Alfred, but quickly snapped back to reality.
"Yes…. Right away." The man smiled at the two before leaving to go get their order.
"Fatass." Arthur stated quite clearly, only Alfred was too busy messing with his straw to hear.
"Huh? You say somethin' Art?" Another cringed passed through the brit at the nickname.
"No… not at all…." Not long after that the waiter came back with the food, only to leave right after it was served, sending a quick smile over to Arthur before he left.
"That dude is totally gay for you…." Arthur looked up from his meal to notice Alfred hadn't touched his food and was staring at him.
"You are mistaken." Al simply pouted, which made Arthur uneasy about this whole conversation and why they were talking about it in the first place. "Look. He's gay, sure. And MAY have some sort of Englishman fetish or something but does it really matter? He isn't getting in my bed and I CERTAINLY, am not getting in his. I prefer women."
The pout only grew on Alfred's face. "So you're straight? Sorry to make this awkward but I'm gay…" Arthur quickly caught himself in a misunderstanding and sighed, his headache was only going to get worse.
"I'm bi. There's a difference. I just PREFER women. But both are fine. I love whomever I do so choose to love." And with that Al's pouting ended and the American quickly began shoving food into his mouth happily.
Arthur, however, ate his own meal rather slowly, still confused as to why his heart was beating so fast.
