A/N: If only I had the same will to write when it came to papers for school. I'd have amazing grades.

Thank you all for the reviews, I really appreciate it!

Because chapter 3 is so short, I'm putting this one on early for you guys.

DISCLAIMER: I only wish I owned.

Arthur's phone started ringing while he was in his room studying for the Algebra test. He looked around and then dug under his bed for his phone, because it had fallen under the bed when he fell asleep with it in his hand the night before.

The number wasn't in his contacts, and it wasn't one he recognized. Shrugging, he answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Hahaha, you answered! Sweet! It's Alfed!" Arthur nearly dropped his phone. "Wha-...How did you get my number?"

"Oh, Kiku gave it to me."

Oh Kiku, you are so dead to me right now.

"But whatever. Are you busy?" Alfed asked, the hope obvious in his voice.

Arthur looked around his room and sighed, because he couldn't think of a good excuse. "What do you want, Alfred?" he asked.

"I want to know if you can come over! I only live like 4 blocks away from you, ya' know. And I really want to show you something!" he replied. Arthur could practically hear his excitement.

Arthur looked at the small digital clock on his bedside table. 4:27 PM. Still a few hours before it got dark. "Fine, Alfred. I'll be there in about 15 minutes."

There was a pause. "Actually...I'm kind of outside you house."

Arthur rolled his eyes and hung up.

x-x-X-x-x

"Dude, so uncool. Who hangs up in the middle of a conversation like that!" Alfred shouted as soon as Arthur opened his front door.

Arthur raised one giant, fuzzy eyebrow at him. "Alfred. You're right outside of my house. There's no need for us to talk on the phone." He said, walking up to the other male. "So where exactly is this thing you want to show me so badly?"

It took about 20 minutes to get their destination, a little wooded area with a beautiful sparkling lake in the middle.

Arthur smiled and looked around. It was a very calm, quiet place. And Arthur liked that. Even though he didn't really enjoy the outdoors, he felt he would enjoy reading out here.

"So...um, like, don't tell anyone about this place. Because now you're the only one besides me who knows about it. Okay?" Alfred said, looking at Arthur for some sort of confirmation that he would keep the lake a secret.

Arthur nodded. "If you keep Princess a secret, then I'll-" he was cut off by Alfred laughing hysterically. "What in the blazes are you laughing at?" he demanded.

"P-P-Princess?" Alfred snorted, still laughing madly.

"Shut your bloody trap, Alfred." Arthur said, blushing.

Alfred stopped laughing and smiled fondly at Arthur. "Princess. That's cute, Artie." Arthur glared at him, but the blush was still dusting his cheeks.

Arthur stopped glaring after a moment of thought, instead looking curious and confused. "Alfred...if this is such a special place to you...Why did you take me here?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.

Alfred grinned. "Huh. I thought it was totally obvious."

Arthur turned red and turned his back so he was facing the lake and sat down. Alfred walked over and unceromoniously sat down next to him.

"So, Artie, I know this is kind of sudden and all, since we've only know each other for like, a week or so, but...Do you wanna go out with me?" he said, stretching out his legs and rolling over onto his side, propping his head up with his hand.

Arthur's breathing stopped for a few seconds. "Well, um...I..." was all he managed to get out, blushing hard and staring intently at the sky.

Alfred's smile morphed into a panicked expression. "I mean like, whatever man. We can still be friends, right? Don't worry about it, I was just messing around, anyway. Haha." he said, rolling back over to face the sky.

Arthur looked at him. He was staring up intentily at the sky, blushing, a troubled expression on his face.

How cute.

"Alfred."

Said blonde didn't turn to look at Arthur. "Hm?"

"Alfred, I like you too. A lot." Arthur said, smiling slightly.

"Really?" Alfred shouted, jumping up and grabbing Arthur's hand, helping him up. "Awesome! So...does that mean you'll be my boyfriend?" he asked, giving Arthur the kicked puppy look.

"That's exactly what it means, Alfred."

A/N: Y'know, I never get flames, which probably means that I do alright. But still. Jade, I hope you're liking this.
