America and Japan

(Pt.2)

Dedicated to MidnightReader053!

"Alfred, please stop bothering the man." Kiku scolded the American who had recently been teasing and prodding a man in the park who stood as a statue, painted in a glittery, shimmery gold. He chuckled with bubbly laughter and his eyes glinted with mischief and curiosity.

Jab, jab.

Poke, poke-

"Stop." Kiku pulled him by his shirt collar and Alfred made dramatic gagging noises when he was being pulled away. He flailed his arms.

"Dude, don't be a killjoy again. I was only trying to see if he'd move! I mean, it'd be pretty hilarious to just see like a little-"

"I can't take you anywhere, can I?" Kiku only stared at him blankly as he let him go and began walking again through the park.

Alfred just chuckled wih a light shake of his head and walked alongside him, deciding to be quiet- that is until something came along again to distract him.

The trees cast long shadows over them as the sun came out through the clouds. It was a bit chilly but warmth was radiating everywhere. The wind was light and birds flew about the park, chirping and tweeting every few seconds. The pathway they walked down was littered with scattered leaves being blown about and shifting here and there slightly. Few people were out right now so it was peaceful. Silent and calm.

It was nice-

"So why did we come out to the park, Kiku? You kinda just dragged me out here."
Kiku mentally sighed, feeling the peaceful moment vanish and looked up to his partner, ready to explain what he had planned but was interrupted before he even opened his mouth.

"Not that I'm really complaing man, since you really need to get out more. I mean, can't be a hermit all the time, right? And it's nice out. I like this weather- light breeze and just warm enough- kinda feels like it's seventy degrees out. That's a good temperature, huh? I mean, you're gonna freeze to death in the sixties and the eighties are just too hot. Seventy just seems perfect, you kn-"

"Alfred." Kiku cut in after a minute of mindless chatter. Alfred paused long enough to hear him and tilted his head, questioningly toward the other man.

"Yea-?"

"Shut up."

Alfred slightly pouted but shrugged and decided to ruffle Kiku's hair lightly to which the man replied with a duck of his head and a frown.

"Now, can I explain why we're out here?" He said finally, moving away from the other's hand trying to poke him now.

"Yeah, man. Sheesh, stop stalling." Alfred grinned at him and waited.

Kiku took in a breath. He didn't know how he was going to say this but he figured that the blunt way was as good as any.

"...I wanted to... ask you..." he took in another breath and closed his eyes, grimacing, his features a bit stressed.

"Will you come to meet my family?" He asked lowly and kept walking, looking straight ahead and refusing to show any emotion to the subject.

And it was silent for a while. He looked down further and wondered when Alfred would say something.

"It's a reunion. It seems the best time to meet them and I know I have met your brother so I feel it right for you to meet my own-"

"Sure." Kiku looked up at Alfred, uncertain still and a bit embarrassed, until he saw his broad grin and a twinkle in his blue eyes.

"I mean- hah, why didn't you ask me sooner, Keeks? Dude, I'd love to go... There's gonna be food right?" He asked childishly but nudged him to say he was kidding as he laughed. Kiku smiled slightly and nodded.

"Thank yo-"

"My pleasure, darlin'! Finally more people to see my good looks and mad skills!" He laughed again and Kiku rolled his eyes once more, but it was that roll of the eyes that said he couldn't help but love this man.

The trail was winding and the sun began to shine brighter through the trees. The two decided to stop at a green bench in the shadows with a pile of leaves beside it.
Kiku looked forward at the scenery but glanced at Alfred, all with that same passive expression on his face. Alfred looked at him with a smile. He knew that he was happy even with those subtle things about him. Hell, it took some effort to get this guy to come out of his comfort zone... but he decided along time ago that it was well worth it. He leaned back in the bench and took the other's hand as leaves fell around them.

"I'm happy as long as I get a burger out of this." Alfred said with a shrug and a playful wink.

Kiku shook his head and sighed, "Of course." he said with a short chuckle and leaned back as well.

And it was nice.
