Classes continued as usual the following day. Arthur and Kiku had both agreed that they would tell their roommates, at the very least, of their new-found romance. After classes they quickly went to their dorms to change before meeting in Kiku's room, deciding it would be easier to tell Feliciano first.

When Feliciano finally walked through the door he was surprised at how both Arthur and Kiku were there.

"Ciao! What are you two up to?" He asked, walking across the room and tilting his head.

"We actually wanted to talk to you about something rather important." Kiku responded.

Feliciano frowned slightly, sitting down on his bed. "What is it? Am I in trouble?"

Kiku smiled slightly and shook his head. "No Feliciano, you're not in trouble. Arthur and I just want to tell you something and see if you're okay with it or not."

Feliciano sighed, his smile returning to his face. "Well then come on! What is it?" He asked rather excitedly.

Kiku froze in that moment and Arthur saw it so he answered for the both of them. "Feli, Kiku and I are in love, and we've started dating."

Feliciano gasped, a wide smile plastered on his face. He quickly hopped off the bed, clapping happily. "Oh mio Dio this is amazing! When did this happen?"

The couple couldn't help but giggle at Feliciano's antics. "Yesterday, when we went to the garden."

Feliciano continued clapping and dancing around, happy that his friends had told him how they felt about each other and that they were happy.

"We have to go tell Alfred now, you can come with us if you can calm down long enough for us to actually tell him." Arthur smiled.

Feliciano nodded and they all walked over together. Arthur opened the door and Alfred was already inside and changed. They walked inside and gave Alfred the same speech they had given Feliciano and he was just as okay with it, if not more so!

"That's great to hear guys! Glad you got that sorted away!" He laughed rather obnoxiously.

"I think we should go tell one more set of people." Arthur suggested.

Kiku nodded in reply, knowing who he was referring to. The group walked to Lovino and Antonio's room. Feliciano knocked on the door and once Lovino had let them inside the couple sat everyone down to give their speech one more time. Lovino and Antonio had been just as okay with it as everyone else had been. The group was proud of the duo for being able to tell them all this and stayed there chatting a while, Kiku carefully curled up against Arthur's side.

Feliciano smiled at the couple as the group talked. He was incredibly proud of how far Kiku had come over the past week. Kiku had always sat at that table either by himself or with Feliciano and Lovnio only. Usually, it was by himself. But now he had a whole group of friends to sit with him at every meal, and he even found someone who loved him very much. Feliciano was glad that they had ended up together after all. He had been hoping they would have after their night at the movie theater.

Feliciano was pulled out of his trance as they all got up to leave, heading for the common area. They played and chatted for a while until the dinner bell rang, announcing the begininng of meal time. They all travelevd up together and sat together as usual. And as usual, everyone had left as soon as they finished and left Kiku and Arthur to clean up the mess.

The couple hurriedly cleaned up the mess and went to walk through the garden once again. It was where they felt the most at peace. They sat on one of the benches snuggled up together, occasionlly exchanging small kisses with each other and admiring the scenery around them. They couldn't be more content.

As the sun began to go down they simply stayed where they were, huddling against each other in case it started to get cold. The sunset warmed their faces as it slowly dipped behind the faraway hills that surrounded the school. They sat for a few moments longer together before deciding to get up and return to the dorm building before they got caught or got too cold, or both.

Kiku looked up at Arthur slowly, "Can I ask you something?"

Arthur smiled, "Of course love. What is it?" Arthur asked, tilting his head in the adorable way Kiku couldn't resist.

"Of everyone in the entire school, what made you fall for me?" Kiku asked quietly.

Arthur smiled. "That's an easy one. Despite you being one of the most closed up and shyest people in the school, you were one of the most caring and selfless. You always stood up for Feliciano whenever someone would bully him and care for him afterwards. I always wondered why, but then it clicked."

Kiku looked up at him curiously. "Clicked?"

Arthur nodded, "You always acted like that around Feliciano, not just because he was your only friend, but because he was the first person who would do something like that for you. You knew that, but you weren't sure if anyone else would do the same, so you stayed rather closed up about yourself."

Kiku couldn't help the blush the spread across his cheeks, Arthur was right. He had shut himself off to the world in fear of being treated differently for one reason or another.

"But you helped me get out of that shell. So thank you." He smiled, leaning up a bit to give Arthur a kiss.

They stayed there a while longer before continuing their walk back. Upon arriving back at their own rooms, they changed and crawled into their respective beds. They both smiled to themselves, happily thinking of the other as they dirfted off to sleep.
