Arthur was reeling. He had to get his emotions under control before he did something bad again. He was thinking about Alfred. About what he did to him. He married him in their culture without Alfred evening knowing what was going on. He punched a hole through the wall and into his brother's room.
"Calm down!" He screamed at himself. If he didn't get a handle on his emotions something bad would happen like it always does. He looked out his window and saw the river.
He remembered Alfred saying he goes down there to calm down whenever he's mad, so he decided to try it.
All the way down to the river he wanted Alfred. He might be an idiot, but Arthur loved him. His stupid smile, his need to follow the rules, how nice he feels in his arms, how kind he is.
No matter what anyone thought he really did love him. He thought about the day they met. Arthur hated him at first, he wanted to be free to choose his mate, but no he had to get stuck with this smiley little brat, but as they kept talking Arthur started to warm up to him. Finally, when Arthur was a freshman he kissed Alfred. They didn't talk about it until this year when Alfred asked him out. Internal Arthur was so happy, but external he acted like it was no big deal. It was a big deal.
When he reached the river no one was there. He was surprised, he thought Alfred would be there, but he wasn't, so he just continued thinking about the past.
When he and Alfred did it Arthur was terrified, but also ecstatic. He would be mated with the love of his life, but now he wondered if that's what Alfred wanted. Alfred didn't know the entire meaning behind it and that surprised Arthur in two ways./p
One, he was almost certain Alfred knew he was a demon and what that meant. Two, how sweet Alfred was, even though Arthur was in charge Alfred still made it feel sweet afterward. Cuddling Arthur and telling him he loved him. It was perplexing to Arthur, someone who had never really been shown love, to have it given away so freely was a new concept. /p
As the hours passed Arthur missed Alfred more and more. The smiley idiot always knew how to make Arthur feel ok, loved, and most importantly whole.
Just as he was about to leave he heard footsteps approaching. Following his instincts, Arthur hid nearby. The footsteps belonged to Alfred and Arthur's heart leaped for joy. He almost jumped out of hiding and tackle his love, but instead, he waited.
Waiting proved to be correct because he soon saw Alfred start to cry. Alfred didn't appear to be aware of his tears. A primal urge rose in him. One to destroy whoever hurt his mate, but he knew he couldn't. The ones who hurt him were also the ones he loved and Alfred would learn to forgive them, but never Arthur if he hurt them. "I've been waiting for you to show up here for hours," he said shocking the other. Alfred turned around eyes full of emotion. It was so pure and innocent.
At that moment Arthur knew he would do anything for Alfred.
