Message: ARTHUR!
To Cap'n Kirk
Sent 6-12-09 12:02 pm
Message: Arthur I am sorry. Please talk to me.
Arthur stared at his phone and sighed. Really he didn't know why he was ignoring his boyfriend. He had though it was because dealing with his mother could be stressful at times. Then on top of that he was alone in his apartment since Francis had taken a two week vacation to France so he could visit his family.
When his phone started ringing with its familiar standard ring tone he didn't hesitate in answering it.
"Hello."
"Oh Thank god you answered."
Arthur moved into a sitting position on his couch as his eyebrows raised. "Alfred?" He could hear the teen moving around. It sounded like he was almost out of breath.
"I am so sorry Arthur whatever I did I am sorry."
Arthur sighed, "You are forgiven, just please don't say stuff like that again. I just don't feel comfortable with it." Arthur hung his head. He switched his phone to his other ear and let out a long breath. "So how have you been love?"
"Good. My dad is teaching me how to drive this week and I take my test as soon as he deems me ready. Being a lifeguard isn't so bad; got a nice tan out of it and get to do laps in the pool after hours."
Arthur smiled, "Sounds fun. So then will you get a car for your birthday?"
"I think so... Hey! I have good news."
"Oh? And what's that?" Arthur said, smiling at the excitement in Alfred's tone.
"Myy scores from finals came in. For once they were all above a C average."
"I know you did well on you English final. If you would have taken your time on that one essay and did the bonus question you'd probably gotten a higher B or even a low A"
"But, I was running out of time! Oh well, there's always next year. Speaking of next year, when will you know who you have in your class?"
"Possibly by mid-July..."
He could hear Alfred's laughing lightly, "You know it's nice to hear your voice again. I really missed it, but not as much as I miss you."
Arthur couldn't wait for summer to end.

Message: Arthur I don't know what to do right now. My parents oh god I hate them.
Alfred stared at his phone as he sent the message. The summers cool breeze blew through his hair as he sat curled up next to a large oak tree. The second his phone rang his boyfriends familiar ring tone Alfred answered it immediately.
"Alfred what's wrong are you hurt!" Arthur sounded frantic.
"Not physically. But-" His could not finish his sentence as he began to cry again. "I don't get why they can't accept me... Dammit!"
"Alfred, love, calm down and explain to me what happened."
Alfred inhaled, "Matthew got himself a girlfriend. Some chick named Heather and now my parents have set me up on a date with some chick from church."
Alfred could hear Arthur inhale slightly, "I don't like girls like that, but I can't just tell them that. I've tried to say that I don't want a girlfriend in my life right now. They just said 'Alfred you are almost seventeen have you even had your first kiss yet?'" he quoted them with an amazing amount of pent up spite.
"Alfred, it'll be alright. Just-"
"I can't tell them I'm gay. They'd send me to one of those correctional camps where I'd be set up to an electric chair and brainwashed!"
"I know, Alfred. I know. Just go out with her all right? It's just one date. Tell your parents she wasn't your type and forget about it."
Alfred shook his head, "I feel like I'm cheating on you by doing that."
"The only way you'd be cheating on me is if you make out with her, or something"
Alfred let out a shaky breath, "I love you Arthur."
"Don't worry love. Everything will be alright."Alfred nodded slowly and swallowed before saying, "I love you baby."
The Brit smiled endearingly at the nickname and rolled his eyes slightly, "I'll see you soon. Love you too. Bye."
"Bye."
Alfred snapped his phone shut and watched the name disappear on the front screen. He let out a breath and looked at the clear skys, "I wonder what everyone else is doing right now?"
