Arthur got dressed and grabbed his wallet off his night stand and shoved it into his back pocket. "Antonio I need to get Alfred a present, do you want to come with me?" He asked grabbing his car keys from the counter. Antonio was sitting on the couch in his pajama pants and a bowl of ice cream.

"Na I already got Lovino's present I didn't really want to leave the apartment today. I'm going to have a lazy day, I'm just waiting for the cookies to be done." He said as he shoved a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth. Arthur sighed and looked over at the time.

"You've been having a lazy day for two days now. You really should get out of here, give me a hand, I have no idea what to get him. Go on get dressed, we're going to the store." Arthur said kicking the back of the couch and grumbling complainants further. Antonio knew that he would never hear the end of it if he didn't get dressed and go.

Sighing dramatically he flopped off the side of the couch making his way across the floor like a limp noodle, grumbling and sighing the entire way to his room. Arthur watched him and rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Really Antonio, do you have to be so childish? Just hurry up and get dressed I don't have all day. Hey the cookies are done I'm going to pull them out of the oven okay." Arthur Slid on a oven-mit and pulled them out, he moved the cookies onto a plate to cool. By the time he was done Antonio opened the door to his room fully dressed.

"So do you have a basic idea on what you are going to get Al, you guys have been going out for awhile. Do you want to see what I got Lovino?" Antonio asked but without waiting for an answer he darted back into his room and grabbed a small black box. He opened it up and held it out to him. Arthur stared at him but took the box from his hand. "Its one of my ring, I got it sized down so it would fit him. You should do something like this for Alfred. I guess you don't really wear jewelery, you could buy him something."

Arthur closed the box and let out a sigh as he handed it back. "Isn't that a rather big step to be taking with him, rings are usually a big deal. Don't you think you're moving a little to fast with him, he is still in high school." Arthur said and Antonio placed the box back into his room.

"You know it was that same attitude that broke us up." Antonio said and went for the door.

"What the fuck is that suppose to mean!" Arthur stated raising his voice. Antonio sighed and opened the door. He stopped and turned toward him. "Well go on and say it!" He snapped at him is anger growing.

"You are a big baby, when we were together you were such a ass, once you realized you were starting to feel something you closed off and ran. And it wasn't just me you did this to, remember Francis and what about that girl you dated. You are just going to do the same to Alfred, its only a matter of time." He said and walked out the door and went for the car. Arthur's whole face turned red with pure unrated rage and fury. Although Antonio was speaking the truth, Arthur didn't honestly want it pointed out to him. Stomping his way to the car he got into the driver's seat.

Antonio looked over at him from the corner of his eyes. "You aren't perfect yourself Antonio. You move way to fast when you're in a relationship, not everything as to be as passionate as a romance novel. There is nothing wrong with taking the time to get to know each other and just sit and do nothing."

"Well not everyone acts like they are forty Arthur, you could use a little more passion. If you did you would need me to help you buy a present for your boyfriend. Do you even love him?" Antonio asked and Arthur started the car. The red in his face spread to his ears and neck.

"That's a complicated question!" Arthur looked out the window before making a turn. Antonio sighed, he should have just stayed home, eating cookies, and watching TV. "Its hasn't even been all that long since we got together, I don't know if I do or not."

"Liar, liar, pants on fire. You can't honestly be that clueless you have to have at least a basic idea. I mean come on, you're still with him for a reason, and I know it isn't because the sex is good. Get it because there is no sex there's no way there's good sex." He laughed and got a dirty look from his roommate. Arthur slummed back in his seat and turned his glare forward at the road.

They reached the store and he parked the car in the back, there were no parking spots near the front, the store was pretty busy with everyone doing their shopping for the holidays. Antonio stared out at the snow, he hated this cold climate, he wished he could have gone home for the holidays. "Honestly what is with all the snow, it just keeps coming. Is there no end to it, how the fuck do these people drive in this weather, crazy, will you just look at them. They act like its nothing. Madmen!" Arthur complained. He could handle rain but snow was a completely different story. It might look like cute little fluff balls from the clouds of heaven but the reality was it was just the dandruff of Lucifer.

He glared at it and opened the door and hissed, he turned the collar of his shirt up to protect his neck against the icy wind. Antonio clung to the front of his coat, shivering. "Can we just hurry up and get inside, its fucking cold!" He snapped and the two ran for the door. Suddenly they were looking at their feet against the sky above their heads. They landed flat on their backs right onto the hard pavement. A child no older then five pointed and laughed at them.

They curled up into balls of pain. "My fucking hip!" Arthur grabbed his side and moaned. Antonio sat up and held the low of his back hissing.

"What the hell, what kind of twisted hell is this. My poor back." Antonio complained and slowly stood up and once he had made it back on his own two feet he helped Arthur up but they just ended up falling back down. They finally were able to stand and move forward without falling down again. Arthur was still holding his hip and grumbling like a moody old man. "Can we hurry up and get Alfred his present so we can go home. Just get him a necklace that way he stops wearing those cheep dog tags the army guys hand out. I want to go home, I made cookies."

"Fine I'll do that then. What kind of necklace should I get him?" He asked looking in at the case. Antonio stood just behind him looking over his shoulder at the simple looking chains. He pointed in at one of them.

"You could put one of your rings on that, why not use that silver ring you got the one with the garnet in it. It doesn't fit you anymore." Antonio suggested, Arthur used to wear that ring all the time back when they were in high school, but since going to college they had both put on a couple pounds (Arthur more so). Arthur nodded, that idea was better then anything he had thought of, he never was any good with buying gifts.

He bought the necklace and when they got back home he slid his old ring onto it and held up in the light. "Should I wrap the box or just put a bow on it?" He asked as he came out of the bedroom. Antonio was stripping out of his day clothes in the middle of the living room, once down to his underwear he sat on the couch and wrapped himself up in a blanket with the plate of cookies sitting in the spot next to him.

He made took the blanket and made a hood over his head with it. "We don't have any wrapping paper, just use a bow or something. Now if you don't mind I'm going to watch Pan's Labyrinth, I've never seen it before so Lovino gave it to me to watch. We were suppose to watch it together but I thought it would hurt to watch it now, just so I get a basic idea what its about."

Arthur moved the cookies and sat next to him. "Are they speaking Spanish? Could you turn the subtitles on?" Arthur asked, he had no other plans for today so he thought that he might as well watch the movie with him.

They ended up falling asleep there on the couch, the blanket fell onto the floor and they were wrapped up together. Antonio snored and struggled to roll over onto his stomach, they grumbled and Arthur clung to them. They slept though out the night like that. Antonio was the first to wake up, Arthur was laying on top of his back. He was snoring lightly, drooling all over his shoulder. "God gross." He rolled over and got him off.

Arthur woke when he hit the ground. "What the fuck? My back hurts and my hip, I'm to old to be sleeping on the couch." he placed his hands in the center of his back and arched backwards getting it to crack.

"You got drool on me! What time is it?" Antonio grumbled and looked over at the clock. He cursed loudly and flew off the couch and ran into his bedroom, he got dressed and pulled on his coat. "I'm fucking late!" He snapped and grabbed the car keys.

"Late for what?" Arthur asked, getting his back to crack again.

"I was suppose to be at the dance studio an hour ago!" He yelled just before darting out the door. Arthur yawned and pulled his shirt over his head, taking it off. He tossed hi dirty clothes into the hamper and got into the shower.

Hey everyone here's the last part of the three part chapter. The next chapters will be everyone getting their gifts and stuff, I don't think I'm going to set those chapters up I did this one.

I bought everything for my cosplay except colored contacts (which I don't think I will get because of my bad eye sight) now I just have to wait for everything to come in. I also have a Spain for my bad touch trio, we just need a France now. I haven't met my Spain yet but its the friend of a friend.

Sorry if this chapter sucks I was drunk for the first half and hung over for the other. Well please review.
