Alfred felt Arthur's hand rest on top of his head. He looked up surprise at the other male and saw a warm look in those emerald green eyes as they parted. Then he turned walking off into the morning day. He blinked in the darkness then striked a match, and then he tossed it into the fire pit lighting the cold room up. Alfred sighed touching the top of his head blushing slightly. "He's gone." He murmured sadly but then something gold caught his eye.
Alfred rose from his wooden seat and walked over to the bed and pulled on the chain. He gasped loudly; in-front of him was the spade clock. It made a soft clicking noise as he rested it in his palm. "Of man—Arthur!" Alfred ran to grab his coat then he ran out of the house.
Alfred raced into the market-place panting. He tried following Arthur's tracts in the snow but it was gone from everybody in the market. The nineteen year old tried to push through the busy crowd of people now afraid, his majesty could have been captured. "Your majesty " He looked around in panic. "Arthur!" He shouted.
As if it was fate Arthur was shoving people away racing towards Alfred. He was wearing his Spade 'uniform', a blue coat with a spade on the side of his. He looked…Beautiful! Alfred let out a sigh of relief. "Arthur—"
Arthur snatched Alfred's color yanking him down to his size anger flaring in his eyes. "You bastard!"
Alfred widened his eyes. "What's the matter?"
"Don't play stupid—give it back Alfred! If I knew you would steal it, I would have never trusted you!" Arthur howled ignoring the crowd whispering.
Alfred pulled the clock out of his pocket. "I didn't steal it I swear!" He explain, pleading. Arthur stopped trying to wring the blonde male and stared. "Yo-You didn't steal it?" He whispered slowly grabbing the clock. Alfred shook his head. "Why would I?" He asked.
Before Arthur could reply there was a male voice from the crowd. Alfred saw it was Yao, the Spade Jack. "Your…Your Highness!" He gasped almost choking on air as he dropped on one knee for a bow. Alfred's grinned brightly. "Sup Yao, how's it been?"
Arthur slowly turned his head, a small noise escaping in the back of his throat. "Highness…? Wait, don't tell me your—"
Alfred grinned resting a hand on Arthur's head leaning close only inches apart. "Yep, I'm the King of Spade!"
