Imagine your OTP curling up in front of a fire together, just out of the shower, after spending the day hiking in the woods.
Kiku groaned quietly as he stretched out his tired old bones and aching muscles on the soft rug. The warmth from the fire swept over his bare damp skin cooling the droplets that trickled downwards from his wet hair.
"Are you okay love?" Arthur asked as he strolled calmly out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around him.
Kiku hummed in response as he stretched languidly again, knowing that Arthur's beautiful green eyes were slowly sweeping over his bare skin that could be seen as the blanket shifted and fell.
"Hai," the Japanese man said peering up at England's scarred torso before his eyes lazily drifted up to Arthur's face. He watched as a bead of sweat rolled down his cheek which he knew had nothing to do with the long hot shower Arthur had just taken.
"Did you enjoy today my love?" Arthur asked sitting down in front of the armchair stretching his legs out.
"Yes I did. I haven't been able to do that for a long while."
Kiku pushed himself up and crawled next to Arthur gently nudging the former pirate forward so he could settle himself behind. Arthur stiffened slightly, his natural instincts panicking about someone being so close to him, but as Kiku's pale leg wrapped itself around his waist as talented fingers began to card their way through his tangled hair.
"It was so relaxing just to walk and to see everything around us… I forget what everything is like. It makes you feel so alive," he purred into Arthur's ear. England pushed himself up and wrapped his arms securely around Kiku's waist pressing his face up against the soft war scarred skin as Japan's strong heartbeat reverberated in his bones.
"Never leave me?"
"I won't, I swear."
All was quiet in the house as the two nations curled around each other taking comfort in slow exploratory caresses and the strong steady beating of their immortal hearts.
