I look up and see Arthur standing in front of me with hands on his hips. "I was just…"
"You were just what Alfred? You shouldn't disappear like that." There was a twinge of worry in his voice. "At least tell me before you take the day off."
"I… I'm sorry. I didn't think I would be missed. I wasn't gone that long." I mutter against my arm, avoiding any eye contact with him.
"Why are you down here anyways? Especially in the food storage." I look up slightly and see that Arthur is sitting on the floor in front of me. "It's not like I'll judge you. I didn't before and I won't now."
"Hey little boy, why are you crying?...I won't judge you." Arthur sits on the floor next to me and smiles.
"I usually just come here to think. It's only when I feel stressed or if I just want to be alone. It's nothing really." I shrug my shoulders and look down at the floor. "Why were you looking for me anyways?"
"I have my reasons. Peter wanted you and you're usually up on deck by now. I wanted to make sure you didn't jump ship." A small smile plays on his lips. "If you have problems you can talk to me Alfred. We are friends after all."
I look up at him and feel slight color fill my cheeks. "Thank you Arthur." A small smile forms. "Thank you for being there for me again." I reach forward and wrap my arms around him in a soft hug. I feel his arms hesitantly wrap back around me. My heart starts pounding at the contact with him. "W-we should probably get back to the top deck."
We pull away from each other. "Yes, you are quite right." He gets up and holds out his hand, "well come on you git."
I laugh and grab his hand as he pulls me up. "Do you want me to do anything today?"
"Well since you did beat Ivan in poker, you have no duties today."
Wait what? "H-how do you know about that?"
"Everybody does that just to get out of work. I've done it a few times. But I usually get stuck with the dare."
"What was your dare?"
He shrugs, "no time for that. Let's get going." His face reddens as he turns around and walks away.
I watch as he walks away and soon follow behind as soon as he is out of sight. What is wrong with me? I clutch my shirt and look down. My chest hurts, I can't breathe. I make it halfway up the stairs before my vision starts to go blurry. W-what's happen…ing? I reach out to grab something and pull myself up the stairs. "A-Arthur…" My voice sounds weak. "A-Arthur!" I yell out that last word before I collapse on the stairs.
~Time Skip~
"Do you know what happened to him?"
"No. What the hell makes you think I would know?"
"Because you were with him a few minutes before it happened. I Rearry think that he had an arrergic reaction to something."
"What makes you think that?"
"His throat is sworren and he has sright red markings forming on his arms."
I let out a very weak groan and open my eyes to see Arthur and Kiku standing over me.
"Alfred you stupid oaf. What did you do?"
I try and sit up but Kiku gently pushes me back down, "do not sit up yet Arfred-san. You had an arrergic reaction to something. Do not move."
"What is he even allergic to? He lived in the country where everything imaginable is."
I push Kiku's hand away and sit up again. "The only thing I am allergic to is wild hay flowers. Those are only found near the city."
Arthur looks up at Kiku, "we use those for seasoning in the foods. They're in a sack near the… Oh." He looks down at me, "you were sitting on the Alfred."
I blink, "oh… Well I'll be fine." I get out of the bed and put my shirt on. "It usually wears off in a few hours. I'll be fine to work."
Arthur puts his hand on my shoulder. "Are you absolutely sure?" His eyes show a deep concern.
I smile at him, "it'll be fine. I've had this happen before and I'm still here. No need to worry." I can feel my face flush slightly.
I see that his cheeks have reddened, "if you are absolutely sure Alfred." He takes his hand off my shoulder and leaves the room.
I'm not falling for him. Am I?
