Epilogue: Crazy Girl

Arthur woke up in a haze of disorientation. The fight they had was awful and that dream…their fight and him leaving, walking away from Alfred and having to live without him, it was terrible and had felt so real that he was terrified it would be a reality. He turned over hoping to see Alfred still asleep, frowning when he realized Alfred wasn't there. He shot up in a panic and tried to calm himself walking down the stairs, catching sight of Alfred at the door.

He walked towards him, arms crossed. "Where are you going?"

Arthur could see Alfred tense, but he answered nonetheless. "I'm leaving, letting you go."

Arthur stared at him almost uncomprehendingly. Those were perhaps the last words he had expected to hear, an echo of his dream and he shivered at the loneliness the idea brought. A life without Alfred because of some stupid fight, it wasn't worth losing the love of his life for, it wasn't worth their constant fighting and struggles.

Alfred continued, unaware of Arthur's inner turmoil, "You made me promise I would someday at the start of this. That I would leave and let you go if it was clear we aren't any good for each other. We can't keep doing this Art…Arthur," Arthur practically flinched at Alfred's lack of nickname. "We only hurt each other. I needed last night. One last night to love you with all I have and let you go so we stop this."

Alfred unlocked the door and rested his hand on the knob, Arthur felt his breath hitch. "Goodbye, Arthur."

Before Alfred could open the door Arthur wrapped his arms around his waist. "Don't go Alfred. You know I…"his voice was thick with emotion his throat preventing the escape of the words he wanted to stay. Alfred turned in Arthur's arms wrapping the smaller male in his embrace. Arthur never wanted Alfred to go.

Arthur continued as he hadn't been able to in his dreams. "Sometimes I'm going to cry and you should know that I'll walk away, but we're lovers. We're going to have a fight or two but I'd never change what we have. You should know how much I love you, not anyone else would ever match this."

Alfred felt a smile curve as he pressed his lips to Arthur's forehead. "You're crazy if you think I'd be able to walk away that easy, leave and end it all. I love you and I am never changing my mind. I need you and wouldn't dream of going anywhere without you or staying at your side."

To reinforce his words Alfred touched his lips to Arthur's in a soft, chaste kiss. He pulled out things in the kitchen while Arthur got dressed and took him to the park, watching Arthur among nature and dragging him to what they had claimed was their spot where they had met as kids. "I adore you, you know."

It was a statement of fact. There was no question or hesitation and it made Arthur smile. This was probably the first public outing where they were a couple and didn't care who saw. Arthur refused to deny Alfred anymore. He was no longer uncertain, this was his place and they were exactly where they needed to be.

"Hold me?"

"Of course. Have I told you I love you like crazy lately?"

"No, but I love to hear it," Arthur said, his smile widening a bit.

They sat on the grass, completely engrossed in each other but remaining in a companionable silence. Alfred finally couldn't help but ask, "What brought this on?"

Arthur shook his head. "Nothing much...I was just thinking that I wouldn't last a day without you. That without you here I would just fade away and lose my mind. With how I was before we met I think I might have chosen to live life wrong if I hadn't met you."

Alfred's lips quirked as he said, "Well the smartest thing I think I've ever done is make you all mine."

"I love you, you know. I don't think I could ever imagine my life without you. Everything would always pull us back together in the end," Arthur commented, smiling and laying his head in the juncture of Alfred's neck.

Alfred smiled at the idea of never having to leave Arthur, of wiping away the uncertainty and showing everyone just how beloved Arthur was to him.

"Marry me?"

Arthur tilted his head up and looked into Alfred's eyes. Alfred continued with his proposal, "I can't imagine life without you either, and I want them all to know how crazy I am about you. I've loved you for so long and I want to show them how much you mean to me."

"I wouldn't dream of anything better, Al, but first, you need to intern," Arthur commented, making Alfred pull him impossibly closer as he kissed the man he loved.

"I thought you wanted me to finish things here," Alfred whispered against his lips.

"I was thinking it could be an early honeymoon. I hear Italy is beautiful," Arthur whispered as well, as they leaned forward and kissed again. This was everything he wanted and needed. Alfred could drive him crazy, but he supposed that was the best part of being in love.
