Arthur fell back as Indiana jumped on top of him growling madly and showing her teeth warning Arthur if he made a sudden move she would rip out this throat. Arthur lay there frozen and tried to calm his breathing, his hands shaking as he looked into the angry eyes of the golden Labrador.
Alfred stood there just watching and waiting for Arthur to make a sudden move so Indiana would attack. Hate was burring in his heart, he couldn't believe someone he had once loved had done that to him. His hand began to shake in rage but was calmed by the soft touch of Yao's hand as it gently griped his own.
"Alfred stop this.." Yao said in a soft calm voice looking up at Alfred.
Alfred looked down at Yao and then brought his attention back to Indiana and Arthur, he gently moved his hand taking Yao's in his own and sighed.
"I...Indiana... Come back" Alfred said looking down
Indiana relaxed licking Arthurs face before jumping off him and sitting next to her master looking up at him. Alfred gently petted her and watched as Arthur sat up and wiped his face.
Yao kissed Alfred's cheek and gently slipped his hand out of Alfred's before walking over and helping Arthur up.
"Alfred, while you were passed out Ludwig & Feliciano told me what happened and how they knew you were in trouble" Yao said softly gently sitting down next to Arthur who was wiping his face still and not making eyes contact with him.
"W…What do you mean?" Alfred said as he rested on the wall behind him.
"Well, Ludwig said that he and Feliciano were in bed asleep when they heard a loud banging on there door, when Ludwig answered it, it was Arthur…"
Alfred looked over at Arthur trying to read his facial expressions, but got nothing.
"…Arthur told them that Ivan was going to kill you and he knew that the only person who could stop him was Ludwig, so he sent Ludwig to your place to save you"
Alfred stood up straight slowly walking over you Arthur. "A...Arthur is this true?..."
Arthur looked up at Alfred and nodded as tears started to well up in his eyes, Alfred moved quickly hugging Arthur tight, Arthur returned the hug and wiped the tears from his eyes.
They sat there hugging for 3 minutes in silence, the silence was finally broken by Alfred who realised Arthur looking at him with a questioning look.
"Why did you do that Arthur?" Alfred said as he sat on the couch.
"I knew about you a Yao from the start Alfred, what did you think I was a bloody twit?"
"What? How did you know?" Alfred said almost jumping off the couch
"The frog might not be as aware of his surroundings as me but you can't sneak past me, I saw Yao sneaking out of the conference room hardly dressed and I really knew something was going on when you decked Ivan in the meeting for calling Yao weak…" Arthur said with a smile on his face.
Yao cheek grew hot as he blushed looking over at Alfred who smiled at him.
"… I knew what Ivan was like and seeing Yao beaten like that made me sick, I knew Ivan would do anything to take you out of the picture Alfred and I wanted him to leave you two alone, so I planned and made him believe I was jealous as well and would help him take you out" Arthur continued.
"So you don't mind me and Yao being together Arthur?" Alfred said shyly
"No of course I don't mind, you and me broke up a long time ago Alfred" Arthur said smiling softly at Alfred then Yao.
Alfred smiled then dove over Arthur tackling Yao onto the ground cuddling him tight, leaving Arthur sitting on the couch in shock.
"Alfred…. Crushing… Cant… breath!" Yao yelled trying to squirm out if Alfred hug.
Alfred let go quickly checking to make sure he hadn't crushed his lover to death and then looked over at Arthur who was still sitting there in shock.
"Thank you so much Arthur" Alfred said with a smile on his face.
Arthur nodded smiling as he stood up walking towards the door "Ill leave you guys alone, I hope to see you at our next meeting, and this time not injured"
"Sure thing dude" Alfred smiled as Arthur walked out closing the door behind him.
Alfred looked down at Yao who lay under his body and gently brushed his fringe off his face smiling at how cute Yao looked.
Yao smiled back gently and moved softly kissing Alfred, Alfred returned the kiss and smiled suddenly going bright red as a though came to his mind. He jumped off Yao and sat next to him, Yao sat up looking at the red faced American who gently took his hand.
"Y..Yao…there is something I want to ask you" Alfred said his face somehow getting redder.
Yao's body froze up, his heart beating a million miles an hour. Yao had only heard people say that before they ask someone to marry then. "he can't be…we have only been together a week" thought Yao as he griped Alfred's hands.
"Will… will you be my boyfriend?" Alfred said with a shy smile on his red face.
Yao sat there, he had never been asked this before. In all the time he was alive he had never been asked to be someone's boyfriend, when he was with Ivan they never said it officially but they both knew they were.
Yao's thought was broken when he heard Alfred saying his name.
"Yao…Yao you still with me?" Alfred said as he blew air into Yao's face.
"what?" Yao said as his body jumped.
"I asked if you would be my boyfriend Yao"
Alfred sat there smiling happily waiting for Yao's response, his heart was beating so fast he feared that Yao himself would hear it. Then his heart stopped as a smile came to Yao's lips and he nodded.
"Yes Alfred" Yao said smiling happily
Alfred smiled and kissed Yao deeply gripping his hands. Yao kissed him back and moved laying back as Alfred pushed against his body forcing him down, still kissing him Alfred moved on top of Yao looking down at him.
"so.. since no one is trying to kill us… what you say we make this official?" Alfred said raising his eye brow suggestively.
Yao pouted at him, as much as he loved Alfred's personality, he didn't like how open he was with his sexual emotions, but at this moment he kind of liked the way he said it, "making it official" sounded pretty good.
Alfred kissed Yao's pout, Yao kissed him back deeply and started taking the American's shirt of almost ripping it off. Alfred smiled doing the same to Yao throwing his shirt over to the couch as be began to undo Yao's jeans with his other hand.
Alfred's left Yao's lips and wondered down his neck and stopping at his collar bone kissing it and gently sucking as he unzipped Yao's jeans. Yao closed his eyes letting out little whimpers of pleasure and ran his fingers through Alfred's hair.
Alfred's hand had just slid into Yao's jeans as the door swang open and Kiku walked in holding a bag of groceries. Yao and Alfred froze and turned their heads to see Kiku standing there looking at them his face as red as one of Antonio's tomatoes.
"K…Kiku." Yao said his voice shaking as him and Alfred stayed frozen in place.
