There was a comforting and wonderful warmth against his entire body. Arthur snuggled into it further. The warmth moved and the covers slipped down, revealing Arthur's feet to the cold and very aggravating morning air. Arthur frowned as he brought his feet up. Then there was a sudden an obnoxious ringing sound that filled the room. It sounded like music but the words were definitely not English. The warmth moved again and the sound stopped, a yawn could be heard. Now thoroughly annoyed Arthur begrudgingly opened his eyes and looked upward to see the smiling face of Alfred. Alfred?
"Good morning." Alfred kissed his forehead and then rose into a sitting position on the bed, stretching. That absolutely gorgeous body was bathed in the early morning light. It was so handsom that it could not be real. Without thinking, and still half asleep, Arthur moved to press his hand against Alfred's back. He was still so warm. He groaned and moved closer, pressing his lips in a kiss to the small of Alfred's back. Alfred laughed, effectively waking Arthur up more fully. "I have to say I do love this more tender side of you." Arthur looked up at Alfred's grinning face. "It's really cute." Arthur's blush was instantaneous. He watched in wide eyed silence as Alfred got out of the bed, gloriously naked mind you, and walked over to the bathroom door. "I'm going to take a shower. You can continue sleeping if you want. I'll make us some coffee when I get out." He didn't even bother to shut the door.
Once Arthur heard the sound of running water and the slide of a metal door he frantically looked around the room for his clothes. He needed to get dressed, needed to get out of here. He looked to the ground and saw his pants. He leaned down to grab them but in a flash there was a ball of fur standing in his way. Iggy sat his body right down on the pants and hissed at Arthur. Arthur frowned and pointed to the cat "Listen, this is not the time for this. I just slept with a human!" he whispered harshly. Iggy did not even move a paw. "Don't you understand? I'm... I'm..." he stopped and made an internal check. He didn't feel any different. Hell if anything he felt... stronger? He shook his head. No, that couldn't be right. He looked around the room for any random object. On one of the shelves he spotted a pen. Getting up from the bed he walked over and grabbed the pen. Holding it in his palm he concentrated on it. In a flash the pen practically flew across the room. Arthur's eyes went wide. What the hell? He hadn't even started to use any of his magic. He had barely even scratched the surface when the pen just reacted.
His gaze turned to Iggy and focused completely on the cat's body. He allowed only a little magic to flow out. Without hesitation Iggy began floating into the air. Arthur continued to concentrate as he moved Iggy's body until it was over the bed and then set him down gently on the pillow. Levitation used to require a fair bit of magic. Now it was requiring nothing at all. Arthur blinked and looked down at his palm. What was going on? By all rights he should not be able to do anything, but now he was able to do even more? He shook his head again. This made no sense.
A thought occurred to him. Perhaps he and Alfred had not done it right. He frowned. Done what not right? He was pretty sure that was how sex was done and both of them had certainly come to orgasm. Maybe... it was a specific kind of sex? Maybe the depletion of powers only happened with oral sex or something. But if that was true then why hadn't the council just said that in the first place? Arthur walked back to sit on the bed. Young witches and wizards had always been told from an early age to never copulate with a human because it would deplete their powers, but Arthur wasn't depleted at all. Was he just the exception? For what reason would he be the exception? Maybe it took more then just one time to deplete the magic? If that was true then why hadn't the council also admitted that to the magical public? What if... Arthur could barely bring himself to say it. What if it all was a lie? What if having sex with humans didn't deplete ones powers at all. What if his race was like that of Kiku's; able to have sex with humans, take them as mates, and reproduce with them? He sighed, well everything but the reproduction part. Arthur brought a hand to his mouth in thought. What if the part about humans and witches not being able to have children was also a lie? Considering it now, it only made logical sense. Kiku's race was part fox and yet they were able to reproduce with humans. Witches and wizards were considerablely more alike then humans and kitsune, so why wouldn't they.
There were so many questions that were buzzing around Arthur's head. He needed to analyze this for sure, but how? He could get another witch or wizard to have sex with a human to see what happened. Could he really ask someone else to take the risk he had just done? But if the whole thing was a lie then there would be no harm in it at all. Arthur crossed his arms over his chest. Who could he ask? Either way, his powers were still present and Arthur needed to keep them that way until he was sure of anything. That meant no more sex with Alfred.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Alfred said as he stepped out of the bathroom. He was still completely naked but now his tanned skin had a sheen of water to it. The remaining droplets on his skin were like an alluring calling for Arthur to lick them off. Alfred finished drying his hair with the towel and when he flipped back his head the golden, damp, strands of hair went every which way, giving the American a very comical goofy appearance. He smiled "Want some coffee?"
Not having sex with the man again was going to be easier said than done.
