It was barely even the next morning when Alfred recieved a phone call. He checked the caller I.D., which simply read "Keeks". He always made sure to keep his phone on vibrate when the caller was nearby, as he had set that specific ringtone to a song he felt described his feelings. He hummed along, too nervous with the previous day's events to answer right away. He'd call him back after he had a few good burgers. Once the first verse started in, he joined in singing. "I've been thinkin' you and I are undeniable~ But I'm findin' out love's unreliable~ Givin' all I got to make you stay~ Or am I just a road-block in your way~?" His voice shook at the last sentence. He got jealous- very, very, extremely jealous, even though a hero such as himself could never admit it- whenever his dear Keeks was with Arthur. The two got along well, as they often shared embarassing stories. About the hero, might I add. So, naturally, when the "Woah-oh-oh"s started up again, he grabbed the phone and said in what he hoped was a confident voice. "Hey, 'sup, Keeks?" the blond said. He heard a short sigh of relief on the other end before his crush's soft voice replied, "Ah, good morning. I was a bit worried when you didn't pick up right away."

"Ahahahaha..." Alfred blushed slightly. He had come to terms long ago with his love for another man, but the main issue wasn't his own orientation. It was the guy he liked's. He had seen him before, blushing when Meimei entered the room, and hanging out with her, Edelweiss, and Elizabeta all the time, gushing about BL or something. Maybe he was dating one of them.

Maybe he was in some sort of bizarre polygamous relationship.

Uh, no. Probably not. Vasch would not allow his dear little sister slash girlfriend to be in a weird four-way. But then again, he and Roderich, and Lily and Elizabeta, and Elizabeta and Roderich...

He was flushed red.

"Ah... Alfred?"

"Hahahahaa! Sorry, Keeks! Just got distracted. Just outta curiosity, why haven't you been adding -kun like normal?"

"Eh?"

He could practically hear Kiku's blush over the phone

"Eto, I, ano... W-watashi wa..."

"Haha! D-don't answer that. J-juuuust messin' with ya."

"Oh. H-Hai. Gomenesai."

"No problem, dude! So, why'd ya call me?"

"I was wondering if I might be permitted to visit you today."

"Sure! When can I be expecting you?"

"Um, I'll call you when I'm here." Click!

Alfred made sure to turn the sound off his phone, and he began racing around his house, cleaning up anything and everything, singing along to his music. He felt his phone going off and unplugged his headphones. It didn't register that his ringtone was still playing until he opened the door to see Kiku with his phone to his ear.

"And I think I might go insane~ If those lips aren't speakin' my name~"

"Uh..." He turned off his phone, blushing. "Hey~"
