Ok I don't think this is a long chapter, sorry for bad english and stuff.
Arthur's POV
I felt something warm and wet lapping my face, I brush it out of the way instinctively. I mumbled in sleep, " stop it...Francis...stupid..pervert.." Francis who had already was watching iggy licking my face and me mumbling in my sleep. He tried suppressing his giggles but couldn't. Iggy attempted to wake me up, lick my face again. Then I stir awake, hearing laughter and the insistent licking on my face. I open my eye to see Iggy on my face licking me. I took iggy off my face and sat up on the bed, but immediately lay back down. My hips and back were aching, tears of pain stain my eye. Iggy curiously lap a few bead of tears that escaped from my eye. I tried to sit up but it was too painful, now Francis was not laughing anymore, face filled with concern he asked "Are you ok?" I shook my head, my stomach growl, " Hold on a sec I shall fetch lunch here." I nodded and lay back down on my a while, Francis came back up with a tray of freshly made scramble eggs,toast with jam,some sausages and some chamomile tea. Once he set it down beside me I seem to gain some energy and started to gobble down the food.
After a while both Francis and I finish showering and eating. Iggy crawled onto my lap looking like it was about to fall asleep. I pick Iggy up and cuddles him, Francis who was sitting beside pout his face, " Aww why does the cat have more priority more than me? You gave him a hug and not me your lover."He went and sat at the corner and started to sulk. Sighing I place the kitten near the window where the sun rays were streaming in, then I walk to the corner and hug Francis from behind. " There happy ?" He grin and turn around, " What's with the grinning again its creepy." He grab my wrist then pin me down to the ground. " I will have to punish you, giving more affection to the cat than me."
" Oh come on you're not a child any more, how many centuries old are you, stop acting like one will you." I said while struggling to break free. " plus i'm still aching from last night."
"Aww..fine but lets go out for dinner instead ok ?" I nodded reluctantly.
At the evening
"Where are we going ?" I ask now in a horse carriage (sometimes I can't tell this story to setting time it seems to be like mordern or during the 1800s) . "A nice restaurant." He replied vaguely.
"Please define your nice restaurant as we seem to have a different perspective of a nice restaurant."I said. " Well when I was out to finding you yesterday I ran pass a newly open Italian restaurant and wanted both you and I to try it out." ' seems like an ok restaurant' I thought.
After a while the carriage came to a stop, and we got off. When we walk to the counter ,the table waiter asked with a thick german accent his blonde hair gelled to the back making him look strict " Reservations?"
" Reservation for 2 under the name of Viscount Bonnefoy." Francis replied.' Viscount!? what is going on?' The waiter led us to our table located at a corner a the side it says VIP, we both walk in and were seated down at a table in the middle of room that was filled with red and white roses. "WOW..."
"Like it ?" Francis asked as he finish ordering for us since I have no idea what to order. I whisper to him, "Why did that guy called you Viscount Bonnefoy?"
"Oh I didn't tell you ? Antonio, Gilbert and I are actually viscount in the current world, though we don't usually appear in public, so they have no idea what we look like." Francis answered. At the same time a guy wearing a chef hat,white shirt ,pants and an apron walk in pushing a cart, he had auburn hair with a curl at left side and amber eyes. "Here is your Panzanella Salad with Artichokes, Black Olives, he placed two bowls of salad onto the table,then continuing, main course Pasta Carbonara Frittata, desert will be served later ve~." He said as he open the bottle of wine with difficulty. " Hold on a second, he said before turning out and leave with the bottle, " Vee~ help me Ludwig...-sob- I can't open it..-sob-." The chef said loud enough to be heard by us.
After a while, he returned bright and happy again with a slightly irritable waiter beside him. ' So Ludwig is the table waiter I guess.' I thought. He bowed down and said " Sorry for the wait..,Feliciano apologised too." He sternly look at the chef. "Epp! Ve~ ok..." He also bow down and apologised, then he poured wine into both mine and Francis wine glass.
After they left we started to eat, I can't help but say damn this is the most tastiest food I ever tasted in this we finished the food on the table, Francis called for the chef in, who brought in a cake with a few candles on it, the lights suddenly were switch off, the candles were lighted. "Ehh?.." Francis then started to sing happy birthday. His voice was very silky and soothing, mesmerized by his singing voice I didn't notice Francis calling me. "Go on make a wish." he said. I shut my eyes and wished ' I wish that I can be with Francis forever...' Then I open my eyes and blew the candles out, the light was then turned on again.
The cake was cut , I ate a few pieces before I notice the chef peeking into our room drooling a little. (I don't think italy likes cake I don't know XD let just pretend he does) I got up and grab a new fork and plate and place a piece of cake on it before walking to the door. I open it wider " You can have some cake." I smiled while saying. He face lit up as he swipe the plate out of my hands and finished the cake within a blink of an eye. " Can I have more ? Ve~?" He asked. I nodded " come in and enjoy." He happily came in and help us to eat the cake, after the cake was finished he went out to get our bill.
" Whew I'm so full, thank you for today, I totally forgotten that today was my birthday." I said. He smiled. "But how did you know that today was my birthday?" I asked.
Looking away a little, he answered " Umm... I have my ways...ohonhon..." He laughed. "Ok..." I look at him a little suspiciously. The waiter came back in with the bill, Francis pay for the meal. I walk out of the restaurant, stretching a little ,breathing in fresh air. I turn around as I felt like I was being watch, but all I see was a pair of green eyes of a cat staring at me. It walked out and brush against my leg, like it wanted me to follow it. Not knowing it was weird I just follow it towards the dark alley way beside the restaurant. Then the cat stop at a door and started to paw the door standing slightly on it's hind leg,making a low whining sound. I look at the cat then the doorknob, I turn the doorknob open and push the door. The cat scamper in , I poke my head to glance what was inside. In there was rows and rows of what seems endless shelf of books. I step into the room, though it was dusty and smell of wet mould, the books all seem to be in very good conditions. Suddenly the door behind me close and a voice could be heard from behind me. " Welcome to my shop...are you finding anything dear customer ?"
I shook my head, " No...ah...i follow your cat in..."
"Cat...?oh... Noire.." The cat appeared again rubbing itself against the hooded figure legs. " Umm..I got to go...someone is waiting for me." I said a little scared. " Hold on.. don't go yet.. i will give you something since you found my cat." He said. ' I didn't exactly found it though...' I thought.
" I know you didn't find him, but still I want to give you something, you could say it is a birthday gift." He said while shuffling around, seem like he is searching for something. Suddenly he turned around hand holding a leather bound book, that looks very thick and heavy. He thrust the book into my arms, " no need to thank me, now I think you should go out soon , your partner is waiting." He said. I look at him oddly, " ok..." I grab hold onto the book and went out of the door. I turn around but to see only a wall there. ' that is really really weird...' I thought, before I walk out of the alley way. At the same time Francis walk out of the restaurant. " Lets head home."he said as the carriage we rode earlier just came. We got into the carriage, in the midst of the ride back home I seem to have fallen asleep. I dreamless sleep...
To be continued...i think this story is going to be a very long one.
