This is a bonus chapter!!!!! I just felt like writing it. The main story will continue after this so relax and enjoy!
Alfred was afraid for his life. He was sitting on the living room couch trying to focus on the T.V. However the constant stream of curses and loud thumps from the kitchen was very distracting.
Finally he gave up on the idea of any T.V. watching when a particularly loud crash was heard.
"Are you O.K.?" He shouted at the kitchen.
"Bloody… Yes I'm fine!!" Arthur shouted back. Then with some more cuss words mumbled he returned to his goal.
Alfred sighed, leaning his head against the back of the couch he took off his glasses. Oh hell, he was sure he would die. Why poor little ol' me? What did I ever do to deserve this? Mathew never had it so hard with his boyfriend! He rubbed his face, 'cus Arthur is soo cute. He would do anything to make the man happy and it seemed Arthur knew that. He would even eat his cooking if he had to.
"It's ready!" Arthur called back to him and a cold sweat broke out on Alfred.
Run!!! You can still run!!! Alfreds mind and seemingly stomach yelled in his head. However his feet seemed to calmly carry him towards the kitchen. Traitor! His stomach yelled at his feet.
He walked into the room and Alfred was horrified at the site. There was some sort of neon multicolored goo stuck to the wall, ceiling, and several of the appliances. Pots and pans which hap originally been silver were now charred black and scattered everywhere; some of them even contained object that were beyond distinction. His eye caught something moving in one of the pots.
"Here Alfred" Arthur said while blushing and looking away, drawing the attention of the very terrified man who was trying really hard not to let it show.
He looked down at the plate extended toward him. There was something brown and slightly chunky on it.
"You made t-this?" He asked unsuccessfully keeping the tremor out of his voice.
"It's chocolate" Arthur said in a small voice looking a little crest fallen.
Slowly, Alfred reached out to the object almost as if it was going to bite him.
Noticing his hesitation Arthur started to withdrawal the plate, "you don't have to eat it." He said quietly.
Oh crap; Alfred used his lightning fast reflexes and snatched the "chocolate" of the plate and shoved it into his mouth without thinking. Arthur stared up at Alfred frozen.
Garlic!!! His mind exclaimed. He actually put garlic in chocolate!!!
As he began to chew he realized several surprise ingredients in it. The stuff that made it look chunky was actually cereal, there where hints of cayenne powder, and a combination of garlic and what he thought might have been tomato.
Arthur was looking up at him in slight surprise but there was hope in there and an expectation. It seemed Alfred had singed away his soul to keep Arthur happy. He swallowed.
"Not *chough-chough* not bad." He said to Arthur. The smaller of the two looked at him as if he had lost his mind, but then he smiled and blushed. Alfred thought that small gesture was very cute and picked him up into a big hug.
His doing so caused Arthur, if at all possible, to blush harder and squeal with indignity.
"Put me down!" Arthur yelled.
"No way! I ate your food now its time for my reward!" Alfred shouted back with slight whine to his voice. There was, however, mischief in his eyes and a knowing smirk on his lips.
The look Alfred was giving him just made him blush more, if at all possible.
Alfred leaned down and kissed him squarely on the lips. There was more tenderness in his kiss than passion at first but as it went on it seemed that passion was growing in Alfred.
They broke from the kiss momentarily to breathe.
"Happy Valentines Day" Arthur said in an embarrassed tone.
Alfreds smirk grew wider. "Happy Valentines Day to you too," he whispered against Arthurs ear, the smaller man then shivered.
"Are you ready for my gift?" Arthur blushed some more.
