DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HETALIA ANY OF THE CHARACTERS ECT!
So, the first few chapters were more of an introduction, starting this chapter is the real plot and drama to the story, and as promised, it is longer. ^^
Arthur was awakened by a warm ray of sunlight shining into his face. His eyes opened and he found himself in the warm embrace of his lover. Arthur smiled snuggling closer into the king's bare chest, which woke him up. Alfred yawned stretching his arms to both sides, the queen moving his head to avoid being hit. He groaned in annoyance.
Alfred smiled, again hugging his newly-wed husband, "I'm sorry Arthy!"
Arthur rolled his eyes, "I've told you not to call me tha-" his annoyance was instantly forgotten as the king captured his lips in his own.
The two parted for air, Alfred smiled down at his queen, "I have something for you." The taller man jumped down from the bed to his feet and headed towards the wardrobe on the opposite side of the room. He opened the doors and removed two sets of clothing. Alfred pushed his glasses on, Arthur sat up in the bed, still a bit sore from the previous night's "activities". One of the oufits was tossed onto Arthur's lap, "This one is yours," said the king, as he dressed himself. He wore a white dress shirt with a black tie, a deep blue vest, brown trousers, and a long light blue overcoat with buttons in the shape of spades. His feet were covered with black dress shoes.
Arthur also dressed himself. He wore a dress shirt tied with a bow in the front, a light blue vest matching the color of Alfred's overcoat, brown trousers, covered with a long overcoat color matching that of the king's vest with spades along the back hem. His feet protected by black boots, and a small top hat that stayed on the top left of his head. Alfred smiled, "It suits you well, love."
The two of them hugged, but were startled by a knock on the door, "Excuse me, aru, but may I enter?"
"Come in, Yao," Alfred called out.
The Jack of Spades entered the bed chamber. He was followed by a maid who placed a tray on the end table with two bowls of oatmeal. She then exited the room. "You must eat quickly, aru," said the Jack, "You have many royal duties as the King and Queen of Spades."
Alfred looked down at his oatmeal while Arthur nodded and quietly began eating. The younger man pouted, "Oatmeal? I was hoping for eggs and bacon..." he said, disappointment obvious in his tone, "And royal duties?! We just got married yesterday! Can't we have some time to-?!"
"Alfred," the queen interupted in his calm tone of voice, "Our duties as the King and Queen of Spades come first. We will have time together later."
The blue-eyed male continued to pout, but he did eat.
Once they finished, the Jack led them out of the room and down a few long confusing halls of the palace of which Arthur had never been down before. Like most of the rooms in the palace, the walls were painted a light purple, covered with portraits of past rulers of the kingdom and floors tiled with black and white.
They finally stopped at a dead end, Arthur at first thought that they must have gone the wrong way, but he realized that was not the case when he saw Yao placing his hand on the wall, and the entire wall began to move! The wall began to move on its own! This was the secret entrance to the palace's tallest tower! The stairwell was revealed, and Yao led them up to the top of the tower. The roof had windows of dark blue stain glass like a few other rooms in the palace, giving the illusion that the room itself was mystical, except that was true of this room. on the wall hung two large gold pocket watches, one round, and the other in the shape of a spade.
The Jack handed the round one to Arthur and the spade shaped one to Alfred, "These hold the true power of the Kingdom of Spades," he said. "You will now have the power to see through time, and under some circumstances, bend it to your will. This power has been trusted to the Kings and Queens of Spades for countless generations. This is no power to be taken lightly, you must both use it wisely." The long haired man turned around to leave, as he started for the door he said, "However, the power of the clock cannot be used to change time to save yourself from harm, only others."
So... Yeah... Start of the plot... Please Review. Thank you for reading! ^^
