Alfred crept into the bedroom he shared with his boyfriend. It was a nice, quiet Saturday morning. Arthur was sleeping in for once and Alfred just had to see it. It was rare that the smaller blonde wasn't already awake and cleaning up the kitchen before Alfred could even begin to think of waking up.

The curtains swayed lightly in the light breeze that drafted from the open window. Artie laid near Arthur's feet, curled in a ball, but awake. Upon hearing Alfred enter, he sat up, ears perked and tail wagging. For some reason, even though Artie was really attached to Arthur, he was always extra happy to see Alfred. Especially in the mornings.

The tall male smiled at the puppy and slowly crawled into bed next to Arthur, wrapping his arm around the man's waist. Arthur's hair was slightly tousled from sleep. His soft lips were parted ever so slightly. The sun was just starting to sink into the bedroom, it's rays making their path towards the bed. Arthur's side, to be more exact.

Alfred smiled a little. Arthur had told him a few times before, with an adorable blushing face, that he's watched Alfred sleeping before in the mornings. Now Alfred knew why. It truly was something of beauty to watch someone who you love so much sleep so peacefully. It's calming to know that, through a hectic lifestyle, your loved one can still sleep as if everything would be picture perfect in the morning.

The sun was just starting to peek over Arthur's shoulder, giving his exposed skin a slight glow. Alfred's smile grew has he pushed Arthur's bangs out of his face gently. He knew Arthur was beautiful. Knew that, hidden behind his protective barrier of insults and short temper, the he was as beautiful and peaceful as he is right now.

If Alfred wasn't already deep in love with the man, he would have fallen hard right here. Right now.

Arthur shifted in his sleep, letting out a small sigh and burying his face in the pillow a little. Alfred put his hand on the man's hip and rubbed slightly as green orbs opened to stare into blue.

"What are you doing?" came Arthur's sleepy voice.

"Mornin' babe. Just watching the view, that's all." Alfred smiled at him.

"What view?" he rubbed his eyes slightly before his face turned a beautiful shade of pink and he looked back into Alfred's eyes. "Me...?"

Alfred nodded with a big smile, "Yup. Mighty beautiful too."

"Oh bollocks. You're such a cheesy romantic," Arthur said, curling into Alfred's chest.

The man snickered, wrapping his arms around Arthur, "I know. But you like it from time to time."

"Wrong, I like it all the time, but you don't do it all the time," Arthur smiled into his chest, eyes drifting shut.

He hugged the smaller male closer, running his fingers through his hair. A thumb slowly rubbed soothing circles on Arthur's back.

"I love you, Arthur."

"I love you too, Alfred."


Well, the inspiration for this one was the fact that I had told my girlfriend I watch her sleep sometimes...o/o...and she admitted she's done it once. So...yeah, haha.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for all the nice reviews! Keep 'em coming!

Love, ShuChan
