Hey guys! I am so so so so soooo sorry that it's taken so long to update! Really! Lo siento, gomen'nasia, mi dispiace, es tut mir leid! I feel really bad about taking so long. Mostly because I really don't have an excuse for not updating. (Aside from just not wanting to.) So, yeah, um…. Here's the next chapter.

But before we start, I want to put a little poem here for Saint Valentine's Day! (I'll also put on at the end for it amuses me.)

She bath'd in roses, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forest grew
-John Donne

Arthur sat calmly at the kitchen table, taking a sip from his tea cup. His tail laid contently across his lap. He may or may not have been lacking a few articles of clothing. It was early in the morning at the Briton's house. Six in the morning to be more exact. It was pleasantly quiet or at least it was for now. That probably wouldn't last long. Alfred was asleep in Arthur's room and had all but kicked him out of his own bed, talk about rude. Though he probably didn't mean to, it did irritate Arthur a little. But who wouldn't be upset about being kicked out of their own bed by a bloody git? That aside, though, Arthur didn't have to much to complain about. Wait, I take that back. Arthur did have something to complain about. That being the fact that he still had these damn cat ears and tail.

After having them for a whole Arthur was really just wanted them to be gone. But not only that, he also wanted the awful cat-like instincts to stop taking over his mind. It was like having a completely different person take over your body and no matter how hard you fought it it always won. Arthur was tired of it. He wanted to be back in control of his actions. But it was rather hard for him to keep his thoughts straight with Alfred constantly pestering Arthur with the many different cat toys that American had bought.

This was the reason for Arthur being up so early in the morning, though he usually wakes up this early anyways. He knew very well that Alfred wouldn't wake for quite some time from now, so he wouldn't be able to distract him or upset him, which had been yesterdays case. Arthur was going to use this time to go back and find his spell book and look for a way to undo this all.

Arthur looked down at the old book that was placed on the table. He scanned the pages, looking for the spell that caused this. He hoped to at least find the spell before Alfred woke, but that was turning out to be impossible since he currently having no luck at finding any clue or hint of the spell he had used.

Before the Brit new it several hours had passed. It was now a little after twelve and he still hadn't found anything. There was the shuffling of feet and the sound of doors opening and closing. Alfred was now awake. If Arthur had any hope of finding anything he had only seconds to find it before Alfred came bursting into the room. But Arthur knew better then to think that he'd be able to find it in that short of time. Instead he continued to stare down at the page he was on, not exactly reading but making look like he was. Maybe, by some miracle, Alfred would leave him alone if he acted like he was busy with something important. Hah, if only he were so lucky.

"Artie! Artie! Dude, guess what day it is!" Alfred bounded over to Arthur, grinning widely at the Briton.

"Alfred, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times, my name is Arthur." Truthfully, Arthur really didn't care anymore about the use of the nickname, he'd never admit it though. Alfred used the nickname so often that Arthur had gotten used to it but he always made sure that he corrected the American anyways. "It's February 14." He added, still looking down at the book.

Alfred stared at him expectantly, that grin never leaving his face. Arthur sighed, his ears twitching as he did so. "What is it, Alfred?"

"It's Valentines Day, dude!" Alfred exclaimed, throwing his arms up in exaggeration like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Is that so?" Arthur hummed, looking up from the book at Alfred. He had completely forgotten about that. How does one forget the most lovey-dovey holiday? Well, maybe it can slip your mind if you're focused on trying to turn yourself back to normal.

"Yeah! And I've totally got an awesome day all planned out too!"

Arthur hummed again, his tail twitching. He went back to looking at his book. "Well, you go have fun then, Alfred." Not thinking for a moment that Alfred had ment the plans to be for the two of them. Silly Arthur.

"Dude, you too! You gotta come too! It wont be any fun without you." Alfred said with a slight pout.

"I highly doubt that." Arthur rolled his eyes, though Alfred didn't see the gesture due to the fact that Arthur was still looking at the book. "Anyways, I'm a bit busy here. Plus, I can't exactly go anywhere like this."

"I know you're not busy, Artie. You're not even reading that book." Alfred chuckled and returned to grinning again. "And I know that. I wasn't planning on leaving the house."

There was something in the American's voice that Arthur didn't like. No, not at all.

The roses are read, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet and so are you.
Thou art my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you.
-Grammer Gurton's Garland

Yes, yes, I know it's short! Please don't kill me! ;A; This is really only to show you guys that I'm not dead. I also wanted to get this up for Valentine's Day, so yeah. Next chapter you'll get to see what Alfred's fun plans are, though, so look forward to that. Oh, and just so you know, I put of writing an English paper on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar for you guys. Feel special. Feel very special and loved.
