AHHHHH! I'm so sorry that this has taken so long to update! I hope I can be forgiven with this new chapter! School it definitely a bitch along with life and everything else. I'm also a lazy fuck, and got a terrible sunburn...I'm a pale shoulda-been-northerner living in Florida. FLORIDA! It's a hell of a state. LITERALLY! I'm sure Hell is cooler than Florida! Anyway, I don't really know where I am going with this... so... enjoy~ (THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR FAVE, FOLLOW, AND REVEIW!)
Oh, and just incase anyone is confused, this is only Spades. Not the other kingdoms... So I guess this would more appropriately be called "Spadeverse" but since that isn't a thing... well... yeah... other kingdoms might be mentioned but, if somebody who really belongs in a different kingdom (Kiku, for instance) shows up, don't get confused!
RizafromKeron: Thanks for reviewing! Sorry you were confused before, but hopefully I'm doing a good job of making that better! I hate the old king too! Why do you think I killed him off so early? LOL. Don't worry, the part about Arthur's past is really Yao and Kiku's one-sided observations. Alfred will definitely be learning more about him in future chapters. I tried to make sure Yao and Kiku called him "Queen Arthur" the whole time... guess I missed some? Or maybe they slipped? (who knows?). I'm glad you liked this chapter though! I hope this chapter meets your expectations! (no smut yet but, it's omegaverse... it's gon happen!)
When Arthur's injuries were finally recovered enough to allow him to leave his room, Alfred was all over him. Fretting and worrying over his every movement. While the queen did not have much political influence, the overzealous king, however, had much work to attend to. Nobles and other court members were eager to know of the kings plans for the "criminal" queen and also if he had any changes to make of the old king's laws. Alfred, as expected of the Alpha King of Spades, worked hard and diligently. Arthur and Yao were impressed by the youthful king's eagerness to run the kingdom. The two often met for tea while Alfred was working, and Kiku met with the queen when the jack had work. After a few weeks, Alfred's workload finally dimmed down, and he developed a plan to get to know his new queen.
Alfred awoke early one morning and found Arthur having breakfast with Kiku and Yao.
"Hey, guys!" Alfred exclaimed as he approached the dining royals. "Whatcha eatin'?"
The three looked surprised at the kings sudden intrusion, confused as to why the usually-late-sleeping king was up so early.
"We were just having so breakfast, Your Majesty," Yao supplied, "I would have ordered you something if I'd known you were coming."
"Nah, thats alright-" his stomach growled, betraying his words.
Arthur laughed and pushed his plate in front of the king. "Here, you can have mine."
"Thanks!" Alfred smiled and picked up a fork to dig in to the scrambled eggs and toast that the other blonde had given him, but then looked slightly worried.
"Uh, what about you? Don't you need to eat something?"
"No, that's quite alright. I never really ate breakfast before I became queen so I'm hardly ever hungry this early in the morning." Arthur gave a small smile and sipped his tea.
"How are you fairing with being the King of Spades, Your Majesty?" Kiku inquired, deciding to stay off the subject of Arthur.
Ever easily distracted, Alfred replied, "Oh, it's pretty awesome! I get to do all the things that Alphas like me only dream of and I don't have anybody holding me back! Those court members can kinda get on your nerves but some good old asserting and they shut right up!"
"I'm glad to see you are doing well," the queen chuckled at the blue-eyed man's enthusiasm.
Alfred smiled a one thousand-watt smile and gave a double thumbs-up, still holding the fork. The three others laughed.
"Well, Sire, what will you be doing with your day off? It is obviously not sleeping like I thought it would be." Yao asked, causing the trio to laugh one more.
"Heeeey!" the king whined, "I actually have something meaningful planned for today! Actually, that reminds me; Arthur, would you like to hang out with me today? We haven't got to talk much since you got better."
"Yes, I will certainly "hang out" with you. Perhaps I can teach you some proper english while I am at it. Dear gods it is atrocious!" More laughter.
"Yay! And, stop laughing at meeee! It's so uncool!" Alfred pouted. He finished off his eggs and stood, grabbing the queen's hand.
"You ready to go Arthur?"
Arthur blushed, set his tea down, and allowed the king to pull him up. Yao smirked and winked at him.
"C'mon! Let's go!" the king yelled and began pulling the green-eyed man away.
"Woah, alright, My Ki- Alfred! Slow down a tick!" Arthur stuttered, blushing and quickening his pace as to not be dragged by the taller man out of the dining area.
When the duo had reached the large main hallway, the kind finally slowed his pace, much to the pleasure of Arthur, who was now panting and clutching his healing ribs.
"Good grief, Alfred! What... ever possessed you... to do... that!" the queen panted loudly.
"Sorry, Arthur! I just- shit. Are you alright?"
"I'm bloody wonderful. Just... run out of the room... with a few broken ribs, why don't you!"
Alfred held him by the shoulders as he panted and wheezed with a worried expression. Suddenly, an idea came to mind. He knelt down facing away in front of Arthur, grabbed his legs, and heaved him onto his back.
"W-w-w-w-what the bloody fuck!" the queen shouted as he was nearly flipped head over heels (literally!). He quickly wrapped his arms around the kings annoying head for purchase and tightened his legs around his annoying waist.
"Woah, woah, woah! ACK! Artie! Too tight! AHH! I can't see!" Alfred flailed his arms and began to walk forward as Arthur tightened himself around him.
"Don't bloody walk of you can't see! Put me down dammit! And do not call me 'Artie'!" the queen blared, removing his arms from around the wanker's head and settling them loosely around his neck.
"I'm not putting you down! You're getting a piggyback ride!"
"Alfred, as much as I appreciate the gesture, this is hardly appropriate...for... us to be doing... if you understand what I mean..." Arthur patted the other's wheat-blond locks, hoping to convey that he really did not hold anything against the boy.
Alfred smiled internally at the feeling of the other man petting his head gently. He sighed and let the queen's legs slide to the floor.
"Alright. Maybe some other time?"
Arthur chuckled, "I'll think about it. So, where exactly do you propose we go?"
The blue-eyed king hummed in thought and looked around. When his eyes landed on Arthur, you could practically see the light bulb flicker above his head.
"I know! I want you to take me to your most favorite place in the castle!" He beamed at his brilliant plan.
The queen pondered whether or not he should actually take the rambunctious king to his sacred place.
"Hmm... I suppose I can take you there, but you must behave yourself!" Arthur nodded his finger at the king in a scolding way. "Can you do that?"
"Of course I can!" the Alpha cheered, "Yay! Let's go!"
Arthur laughed at the younger man's enthusiasm and he soon joined in. The queen grabbed Alfred's sleeve, much like he would to lead a child, and began to direct him toward his favorite place in the castle. Sometime along the way, amidst the amiable chatter and laughing, the two royals connected hands.
Sorry if it seems kind of rushed. I know that Alfred is supposed to be king and what-not, but after being around everyone for a few weeks, he calmed down and acts like himself. Yao and Kiku don't care, they're chill. (lol American slang). Hopefully it isn't too short, I know it's a lot shorter than my last chapter, but I was running low on time... anyway, I hope you liked it! And, if everything goes well, I'll have the next chapter up within 2 weeks! Let me know if you have any questions or criticism (or praise. I love praise!). Until next time, Arrivederci!
