The four of them sat together during dinner, laughing and carrying on, attracting a bit of attention as everyone knew that table to be a place of near or absolute quiet. The four of them didn't care however, they were having fun and that was all that mattered to them. After the group finished eating they disposed of their garbage and headed to Arthur's dorm. Upon arriving they found that Alfred was nowhere to be found. They talked and joked for a while before Lovino was nearly asleep and Feliciano had to carry him back to his dorm.

Kiku stayed back a few minutes so he and Arthur could plan the next English lesson. Once they had, he said his goodbyes and headed back to his own room. The whole walk there Kiku couldn't help but think about how happy Arthur made him feel. He had never had so much fun during a meal. Sure, Feliciano had made him laugh so hard his sides split, but that was only on one occasion. Tonight really made him happy. He was sure he hadn't smiled that much in such a long time. It felt nice.

Kiku carefully turned the doorknob to his room and saw Feliciano coming out of the washroom, fully clad in his sleepwear. Kiku closed and locked the door and grabbed his own sleepwear and headed for the washroom. After changing he climbed into bed, seeing that Feliciano was already fast asleep. Kiku smiled to himself slightly, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

The next morning the duo woke up once again to the sound of Kiku's alarm and prepared for the day in nearly the same way as before. After they were both properly dressed and had their bags they headed to the common area to relax a bit. Once the bell had rung, they headed upstairs. Feliciano was about to sit beside Kiku when some friends called him over. After making sure that Kiku would be alright he waved goodbye and headed over.

Kiku sat down at his table. It felt so weird having no one to sit with. He had gotten so used to sitting with someone else and having someone to talk to that he wondered how he had been able to sit by himself like this for so long. He looked around slowly for Arthur but the British boy was nowhere to be found. Kiku prayed he was okay as he started on his breakfast.

Kiku couldn't help but think of Arthur. His mind wandered away as he ate. He hadn't even realized he started thinking about Arthur. He thought about the English lesson they had had the day before and how fun it was to eat supper with Arthur and the Italian brother duo. A small smile rose to his face as he finished his breakfast. He cleaned off the table and decided to head for his first classroom for the morning.

Arthur had walked into the dining area a few minutes after Kiku had left. He looked around constantly but couldn't find Kiku anywhere. He sighed and went to sit with his friends nearby, but he couldn't help but worry about Kiku. Was he okay? Did he already have breakfast? Was he sick? Arthur wasn't quite sure, but it only made him worry more and more the longer he thought about it.

Arthur had to pull himself out of his thoughts. Why had he been worrying about Kiku so much? It wasn't like Kiku couldn't take care of himself. But it was so much fun getting to know Kiku and hang out with him. He had always seen Kiku sitting by himself and barely talking to anyone, whether it was because he didn't know what to say or he just didn't feel like talking, Arthur was never sure. It hurt him to always see Kiku so sad or stoic. Even around one of the happiest people in the entire school. Arthur wondered if Feliciano had even actually seen Kiku laugh or even smile before yesterday. In truth, Arthur highly doubted it.

The British boy finished his breakfast and cleaned up before heading for his first class. He would have to ask Kiku where he was when they met up for their English lesson that afternoon.

The classes that day only seemed to drag on for the both of them. Kiku was sure he would have pulled out his hair if it got any more boring. However the final bell did ring and both Arthur and Kiku darted from their classes, Arthur heading for Kiku's dorm room and Kiku heading for Arthur's. Kiku was the first to enter the dorm building, Arthur following not that far behind stuck in the crowd. Kiku arrived at Arthur's door and knocked when he got no reply he simply knocked again.

The same process had gone on for Arthur just down the hall. After several minutes however, they both sighed in defeat and headed for their rooms with their heads down, weaving through the crowds. However neither looked up in time as they ran head first straight into each other.

"Good gosh! Bloody wanker! Watch where you're going-!" Arthur froze mid-sentence as he looked up and saw who he had run into. "Kiku! My goodness I'm so sorry, are you alright?!" He asked worriedly, no longer worrying about the pain in his own head.

Kiku couldn't help the small smile that rose to his lips. "I'm fine. Thank you. Are you alright?"

"I'm just fine!" Arthur smiled, his usual grin plastered on his face. "Where were you at breakfast, lad? I must have missed you."

"I could ask you the same thing," Kiku smirked. "Enough about that though. What do you say we head back to your dorm and start on that English lesson, hm?"

Arthur smirked in reply. "I couldn't agree more."
