"Why under all that is holy are you awake this early?"
"….It's already ten."
"It's SUMMER. And it's VACATION."
"And that's an excuse to stay in bed all day?"
"It wasn't all day. And yes, it really, truly is."
"Mhm. What are your plans for the day?"
"Coffee."
"And after that?"
"Possibly food."
"Brat."
"Yeah, but you love me."
Arthur turned to his newspaper, rolling his eyes at Alfred while sipping his tea. Reading silently, he was absorbed in his paper, the sounds of Alfred making coffee and breakfast fading into the background. After preparing his breakfast, Alfred sat at the table, knocking one knee into Arthur's purposely.
"Can I help you?"
"Oh, nothing. I just think I know what I would like to do today."
"Oh?"
"Yup."
"….And that would be?"
"I think. I'm gonna see if I can find that really really stupidly strong sunblock that you need, massage it into your skin, and we'll sunbathe. We can see how many freckles you get. Or how red you turn."
"Ass."
"Think about it. You know I have no neighbors. And the pool is right here. We can sunbathe naked."
"You just want to see me naked."
"That's the plan, yeah."
"….Will you barbeque?"
"Ok, that I won't do naked."
"But?"
"Yeah, I'll barbeque."
"…I'll think about it."
"I'll take that as a 'Yes, Alfred, you have amazing ideas.'"
"Don't push it."
