CHAPTER THREE
Day 3 - June 12, 2014
The sun was shining and Arthur had found himself being hugged by Alfred, who was sleeping with some loud snoring. Arthur blushed then groaned, "Alfred, Get up. You're heavy!" Alfred didn't respond. Luckily, he was able to move Alfred's arm and get up. He made his way to the living room. No one there. 'Matthew must be still asleep..' Arthur thought to himself. He then headed over to the kitchen and decided to make breakfast for himself and the two siblings.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Alfred was awaken by the smell of something burning. He quickly stood up from the floor, wondering also why he was there in the first place, and raced towards the kitchen only to see a frightened Matthew and Arthur cooking. "W-What happened here!?" "I was cooking breakfast." Arthur replied while placing the "food" he had cooked on a plate. "W-Why is it burnt?" Alfred asked once again, looking at the plate, scared.
"It's not burnt! It's just perfect!" Arthur smiled at his work.
Matthew then spoke up, Kumajiro in his arms, "U-Uh, I remembered..I have to go to the cafe early!" He then left the apartment like a madman.. "That was weird. Well, are you going to eat this or not?" Arthur asked. 'Damn you Mattie! But trying won't hurt, I guess...' Alfred took a big gulp, "So what did you cook, Artie?"
"Scones."
Alfred nodded. He then took a bite of the scone. As he was chewing it, it felt like he was being food-poisoned. To be honest, it tasted bad but instead of telling Arthur the truth and hurt his feelings, he lied, "It tastes great, Artie!" Arthur heard Alfred's critique. He knew that it was bad. It was obvious that Alfred lied. Arthur sighed then smiled, "You don't have to lie you know. I'm already used to that."
Alfred frowned, "Hey, I'm not lying Artie! It really tastes great! Look, I'm eating a lot!" He then took more scones and ate them. "Oi, don't force yourself, idiot! It's fine, really!" Arthur laughed at what Alfred was doing. Yet, surprisingly, Alfred has finished all of them. "You really are an idiot, aren't you?" Alfred only grinned at Arthur as a response. After the incident that happened earlier, Alfred decided that they should just go buy some lunch food in McDonalds yet, Arthur, being the classy gentleman he is, declined and bought some scones and tea at Starbucks.

Time skip~! Afternoon...
"Hey, Artie! A friend of mine is coming today."
A knock on the door was heard. "Ah, he's here!" Alfred and Arthur approached the door. Alfred opened it and revealed a man standing, having about the same height as Arthur and his hair was in a form of a bowlcut. "Kiku!" Alfred smiled. "Konnichiwa, Alfred-san." The Asian replied, smiling as well. "Artie! This is Kiku. He's from Japan. We were schoolmates since high school. He always visits us here to play video games and watch horror movies with me! We even watch some of his country's animes! And Kiku! This is Arthur. But I call him Artie because I like it better. And he's a shinigami! Shinigamis are real!" Alfred smiled happily, only recieving a hit on the head from Arthur.
"You git! How many times do I have to tell you not to tell anyone else about me!?" Arthur turned to Kiku, "I'm Arthur Kirkland. Nice to meet you." Kiku replied with a bow and a really really REALLY happy smile on his face, "Konnichiwa, Arthur-san. It's nice meeting a shinigami for the first time." He then took out a camera and quikly snapped a picture of Arthur. This made Arthur think of something, 'He doesn't know anything about Alfred's condition?'
"What games did you bring today Kiku?" Alfred asked as they walked towards the living room. "Ah, I recently bought The Last of Us." "Cool! I watched some gameplays of it. Hey, Artie do you wanna play too?" Arthur shook his head. "No thank you."
Arthur read a book meanwhile, Alfred and Kiku played the game. When there were zombies that rapildy ran towards them, Alfred would most likely jump and hug Kiku. Like what he did when he and Arthur watched a horror movie. This made Arthur slightly irritated, seeing Alfred on Kiku's lap. 'Get away from Alfred.' Arthur glared at Kiku under his book, which was weird because Kiku wasn't even the one who's moving closer to Alfred. For hours, Arthur observed the two carefully, which made him lose his focus on the book he was reading.
Suddenly, Kiku's phone rang. "Ah, sorry Alfred-san, Arthur-san, Heracles is waiting for me." Arthur asked curiously, "Who's Heracles?" "Ah, that's Kiku's boyfriend." Alfred replied and Kiku blushed. Arthur sighed in relief, 'Thank God, he already has a boyfriend.' Then, Arthur felt a vein pop on his head. 'W-WHY AM I THINKING LIKE A GIRL!? I AM NOT JEALOUS GODDAMMIT. I DID NOT THINK OF THAT. I ONLY MET ALFRED TWO DAYS AGO! BLOODY HELLLLLL.' Arthur blushed at his thoughts, hiding his face under his book.
Kiku had already left and Alfred returned to the living room, only to see Arthur covering his face with his book. "Hey, Artie, are you alright?" Alfred asked, leaning closer and taking the book off, revealing Arthur's red face. "A-Artie! You're red! Are you alright!?" Alfred cupped his hands on Arthur's face, making him blush MORE. "I-I-I'm fine!" Arthur stammered. "Are you sure? Your face is really heating up!" Alfred leaned closer, their foreheads now touching.
'Bloody hell, Alfred is too close!' Arthur shut his eyes close, "I-I'm fine, really! N-Now get off of me!" Alfred did as he said, he got off Arthur, his face still worried. After an awkward situation, Arthur piped up a random question. "Hey, Alfred, Does Kiku know about your condition?" "Nope." Alfred answered, adjusting his glasses. "Why?"
"Well, I don't want them to be worried. I mean, I'm a hero, right? A hero shouldn't make his people worry!" He smiled at Arthur. Arthur was moved by Alfred's statement which made him smile and blush a little. "You idiot.."
Author's Notes : CHAPTER THREEEEEE! :D Btw gaiz, in the doujinshi (Gilbert and the Shinigami, the one that I mentioned on the first chapter) Italy is the shinigami there and is attracted to Ludwig but Ludwig cannot see him, only Gilbert, because Gilbert is near to death. So here, in this story, shinigamis, demons and even angels can be seen. (On demons and angels though, they have to hide their wings so that it wouldn't be obvious that they are not human) They are much like the shinigamis and angels on Black Butler. Do you guys get my point? I hope you did :D
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Don't forget to Fave, Follow and especially, Review!I would love to here what you guys think of the story so far. Thanks again to AcelMonDay for reviewing :D That's all and see ya in the next chappie! Ciaoo!~
