DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HETALIA OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS ECT!

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long! I've had a lot going on with school and other stuff! Luckily, I'm going to start having some more time to write. Also, there is, as promised, romance USUK in this chapter. There is no sex scene although it is implied. Sorry, I can't write that kind of thing. Anyway, I hope you like it.

The Queen of Spades lay on the bed, he did not stir, nor did he make even a sound, appearing as if in a deep sleep. A very tranquil scene, yet he was cold, cold as ice. There was no breathing, no heartbeat. Could it be Arthur is...? No! No! This couldn't be happening! Tears began to fill the King of Spades' eyes, "Arthur!" he screamed, "My queen! My love! No! PLEASE! Wake up! Open your eyes! ARTHUR PLEASE!" He collapsed onto the cold body, crying into the chest where the heart used to beat. He heard nothing. Alfred sobbed, his heart was breaking from the death of his queen.

Arthur awoke, very much alive. He checked his pulse to be sure, still beating, his body was warm, and he was able to breathe. It had been only a dream. The blond turned to lay on his side, seeing Alfred sleeping peacefully next to him. The smaller man was still shuddering in fear from his dream, which was enough to was his husband.

"Arthur?" he asked, pulling the other blond closer, "You're shivering."

"It's nothing," he replied, "I'm sorry I woke you. Go back to sleep."

Alfred shook his head, "That's not fair. You can't just tell me to go back to sleep right after you wake me up." He pouted, "You can fall right back to sleep, while I'll end up just lying here for hours. No, you are staying up with me."

Arthur rolled his eyes at the king's childishness, "Alright."

"Where you dreaming?" he asked, noticing the shivering.

"It's nothing."

Alfred shrugged, "If you say so." He stared for a moment, "Arthur... I'm sorry for leaving you here when I went to the Kingdom of Diamonds," he sighed, "I realize you must have been lonely." The other remained silent. "I have to leave in a few days for another meeting in the Kingdom of Hearts." Arthur frowned, "But this time, I want you to come with me. I don't want to leave you here and get lonely again."

A few quiet moments passed and softly, their lips brushed against each other. Only seconds later, the taller male licked the other's lips, attempting to coax them open. At last, he was allowed enterance into the mouth, his tongue swirled around, exploring every inch.

They parted for air, staring into one another's eyes with pure adoration. Alfred moved down to kiss Arthur's neck, as his hands did the same moving down the man's chest and stomach, stopping at the waistline of his pants. The queen let out sounds of pleasure, encouraging the other to keep going.

...

The two lovers lay sprawled across the bed breathing heavily. Alfred pulled Arthur close to cuddle. They laid peacefully for a few moments, Arthur nearly falling back to sleep, when Alfred broke the silence, "Hey, Arthur?"

"Hm?" he replied.

"You love me, don't you?"

"Yes, of course."

"And I love you. I know I'm not the greatest husband, but I want just want you to be safe," he kissed the other on the top of his head. "I need you, I don't know what I would do without you." Arthur prentended to have fallen asleep, as to not ruin the moment by what he knew was to come.
