Chapter 17
Jobs
~Alfred and Arthur~
When Arthur finished his food Alfred was about ready to leave so Arthur could get washed and dressed. But on the way out he noticed a bright blue shirt on the floor.
"Hey Arthur?"
"Yes?"
"Where did you get this shirt?" He asked.
"Oh some stranger. He gave it to me while I was in heat."
Alfred gripped the shirt and growled. "Someone got in? What did they do?"
Arthur didn't notice his sudden change in behavior because he was currently behind a curtain in a tub. "Well, he told me that he was proud of me for being strong and that he loved me. Then he kissed my forehead. After that he left. It was strange because his sent was so familiar."
"Do you think he's related to you?" Alfred asked.
"I think so. Why else would he say that he cares for me?"
"True. What did he look like?"
"I don't know. His face was hidden very well."
"So he wants to keep his identity a secret. Was he wearing a green cloak?"
"Yes, do you think you know who he is?" Arthur asked hopeful.
"Maybe, he might be the leader of the rebellion. But if so then how would he be related to you?" Alfred wondered.
"Maybe we're not related. Maybe he's a family friend."
"Well whoever he is I'm not going to let him near you until we know his true intentions." Alfred said in an authoritative tone.
Arthur nodded. He knew it wasn't safe to let any unfamiliar alphas or betas around him. He was inexperienced when it came to betas and alphas. Alfred was a strong and intelligent alpha so it would make sense to trust him to protect him.
There was a knock on the door.
"May I come in?"
"Who is it?" Alfred asked.
"The doctor. I came to check up on Arthur. I want to make sure there weren't any complications."
"Oh yeah, come on in." Alfred said opening the door.
~Time skip~
After the doctor confirmed that Arthur would be ok they left his room and met Francis on the deck.
"Bonjour, how are you feeling Arthur?" He asked.
"Good, thank you very much for letting me use your room." Arthur said doing a very formal curtsy.
"Please do not be so formal. In the kingdom of Diamonds we are all equal. Whether you're an omega, alpha or beta."
"I'm s-sorry if I o-offended you. I didn't m-mean any harm. Please don't p-punish me." Arthur pleated.
"I would never do such a thing! Why would you think I would do something so horrible?" Francis asked out of concern.
"Because bad omegas get punished if we do something wrong." Arthur explained still shaking.
Francis gave Arthur a sad expression while Alfred tightened his fists out of anger.
"Did the king punish you when you were bad?" Alfred growled out.
"No, I actually don't know where that came from." He admitted feeling very confused.
"Perhaps it is a part of your past that you don't remember. Maybe from childhood?"
"Maybe, I mean it is possible." Arthur agreed.
"Either way I'm going to make sure no one lays a hand on you like that again." Alfred vowed.
Arthur blushed. He wasn't used to this kind of kindness from others accept his friends. The question was why did he change his attitude all of the sudden?
Francis sighed at the cute scene. If only he could find true love as well.
"Excuse me sir but we will be boarding the docks soon." Lily informed them.
"Thank you, please inform the others."
"Yes sir."
"Hey ummm Francis, maybe we should talk about future plans for my club." Alfred said.
"Do not worry. I already have a plan."
~Time skip~
They were currently at the castle of Damon's and Alfred was not pleased.
"Dude, really? Why are you having us be a part of your staff of all people?"
"Because it's perfect. You need information and being a butler and a maid will help with that."
Alfred couldn't argue with that.
"I feel ridiculous." Arthur said.
Alfred turned around to see him wearing a maid dress. He blushed. God Arthur looked cute.
"W-what are you looking at?" Arthur asked defensively.
"You." Alfred smirked.
Arthur blushed and glared a Alfred acting made so that he could hide it..
Alfred just laughed it off.
"C'mon babe we shuld get to work." Alfred said walking away.
"Did you just call me a child?" Arthur asked out of confusion. He didn't know commoner nicknames or slang so that was pretty confusing for him.
"Nope, I guess you could say that it's a term of endearment for close friends." Alfred lied.
"Really?"
"Yep but only I can call you babe."
"Why?"
"Because it's my nickname for you."
"So it is normal for commoners to give each other nicknames?" Arthur asked.
"Mhmm."
"Then can I call you Alfie?" Arthur asked him innocently.
Alfred's nose began to bleed at the omegas cute and innocent expression.
"Y-your nose is bleeding!" Arthur said worriedly.
"I'm fine! It's just a silly little nosebleed." Alfred said trying to play it cool.
"Still, we should take care of that."
Arthur pulled out a white handkerchief and began to wipe away the blood. This caused Alfred to blush and bleed even more at the closeness.
'Danm he's going to be the death of me.' Alfred thought.
~Ludwig and Feliciano~
When they arrived at the docks they snuck off the boat and began looking for a cheap place to stay.
"Hey Ludwig look over there. It says help wanted!" Feliciano said ripping a paper off a builtin board.
Ludwig looked at the paper. It said:
Help wanted at the castle.
Available jobs:
Chef Baker Soldier Maid/butler Messenger Assistant
"I don't know Feliciano. We should head to the main base. I'm sure everyone else is on their way there also."
Feliciano shook his head. "Heather said that they were on their way to different countries. Alfred and Arthur are in Diamonds and Elizaveta and Kiku are on their way to Clubs."
"When did you talk to Heather?"
"Yesterday. She's been tracking us to see where we're at. She's currently on her way back to Arthur."
"I see, then we might as well stay for a while. Lets head to the castle and see if we can both get a job there." Ludwig said after thinking about it for a while. But when he turned around he saw Feliciano chasing the paper down the street.
"Oh great. I should have known something like this would happen." He grumbled.
He ran after the Italian he caught him talking to a beautiful woman. She was chuckling at something he said. As Ludwig got closer he realized who she was.
"Feliciano!"
"Oh hello Ludwig. Come meet my new friend! Her name is Edna and she said that she can get us a job at the castle! Isn't that wonderful?"
"Ja it is. My name is Ludwig B your majesty." Ludwig said bowing his respects to the queen of Hearts.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. Please come here and give me your hands." She asked politely.
Ludwig did as she asked and felt uncomfortable when she held his hands and looked inyo his eyes as if she was looking into his sole.
"You're hired!" She suddenly exclaimed.
"What?"
"I said you're hired! You will be the kings assistant!" She said excitedly.
"But I haven't been interviewed."
"I know you will be perfect. Now let's go and get you two settled in." She said happily.
"Come on Ludwig! I was given the job as the jacks assistant."
Ludwig shook his head and chuckled at the Italian's antics.
~Elizaveta and Kiku~
They had been in clubs for about a week now. They managed to get jobs as messengers for the local post office in a small town called Gmunden.
It paid well enough so they were able to afford a four bedroom apartment. Elizaveta was waiting for Roderick to come to town. This was where they planned on living when they ran away.
A/N: Sorry that it doesn't concentrate much on the two other groups. I want to do separate chapters for them. Hope you enjoyed. :3
Justwannacomment: I definitely didn't intend that to happen. When you pointed that out I started laughing. XD I guess my phone wanted to be a comedian. X3
Pastaaddict: Lol, unfortunately for Alfred I'm going to make Arthur oblivious to it. XD
Willow Leaves: Wow, I never thought that someone would like it that much. Thank you so much for the kind review. :3
