"From The Other Side Of The Coin With Love"
Chapter 3. Waiting – Forever in MY arms –
Alfred P.O.V
PART 2.
Who would have thought that living in the afterlife could be so tiring? Really, what really was the difference between life over, under or in between the earth these days?
The demon sighed, as he gave a loud full yawn. Scratching at the back of his neck, he tilted his head and a smile then graced his lips. "Well..." he thought.
"The life as a demon was not so bad, not if it meant he could share it with the one he loved, per say."
He was now suddenly in a terrible hurry, a terrible hurry to meet his lover again. It had been days since the last time, and it could only be blamed on both of their busy schedules. Really, they were dead and they still had times and deadlines to meet!
He gave a deep sigh again, as he stretched out his large bat-like wings and pounced into the air in full speed. He could never get faster to his beloved. Never.

A large grin could be seen on the dark-haired demons lips as he was getting closer and closer to his target, the Heavenly castle or as it also was called, the castle of the glittering skies. It was there he knew he would find him, in most cases engulfed in a book in Gods infinite library or in the garden of wishes and prayers.
But it was at none of those placed he had found him today. In fact, he hadn't found him at all, even though he had searched in all the places his lover was most likely to be. He was at a loss, and he had started to wonder if anything might have happened to him when a familiar voice called for him from behind. It was Kiku, one of Arthur's closest friends.
"Hello man, long time-no-see!" he cheerfully called out as the angel hurriedly got closer to him. Upon carefully sight, Alfred could see on the expression on the shorter angels face that something was wrong. Before he managed to open his mouth to voice out his suspicion, he was interrupted by the Asian before him.
"Alfred-san, Thank the heavens you are here! We have tried to get in contact with you ever since we found him!" he called out, a slight panic in his voice, that was very rare for Kiku that was a master at hiding his true emotions and thoughts.
"Found who?" Alfred asked, but he already had a really bad feeling in his stomach, and he knew it could be no one else.
"Arthur" he said, his tone flat. "We found him unconscious in one of the chambers three days ago and he have been unconscious all through only until minutes ago when he finally woke up." the Asian said sadly.
"I'm sorry that we didn't tell you of this sooner, but the message seems to have been lost on the way to hell." he said, giving Alfred a small, reassuring smile. "He has been asking for you, Alfred-san" he said. "Would you come with me, I will lead you to his room".
Shock. Utterly Shock. That was all he had felt when Kiku had told him about his precious Arthur being unconscious for days, without him knowing anything about it until know. When he finally had shaken off the shock of it all, he hurryingly followed Kiku along the long white corridors of the castle. He couldn't be there sooner.
The walk through the heavenly castle seemed to take hours, but then the angel suddenly stopped in a corridor with doors on both sides, going on for what seemed like forever. The angel turned to him and spoke in a quiet voice.
"Arthur-san is currently resting in room 103, on the left." he gave a small smile as he bowed. "I got to leave now Alfred-san, but I think it is for the best. You need to be alone." Alfred nodded and thanked Kiku for helping him and telling him what had happened.
The Asian gave another polite bow as he flew away in the direction they had come from. As soon as he was out of sight, Alfred leaped into the air as he rushed though the corridor, the wind whistling in his ears. With a lot of effort he forced himself to stop at the door marked with the golden numbers of "103", flapping his wings wildly doing so. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he turned and grabbed the golden handle as he forcefully ripped the door open.
