Chapter 3: Green Eyed Glares
As the meeting progressed Arthur managed to get down some useful notes from the speeches that were given. He barely had time to even turn to look at Alfred's chair or the Spaniard due to the notes he was viciously writing down and the small annoying comments from a certain French man. After yet another poke to the arm from Francis' pen Arthur finally snapped and glared at the blue eyed man at his side.
"Seriously Francis must you be so bloody annoying?" Arthur hissed as the blonde flicked his hair and smiled.
"Oui." Was all he said before their conversation was cut short.
"Something wrong Kirkland?" Arthur looked up to the front where the Lovino and Feliciano Vargas were stood giving their presentation on their country of Italy. Lovino was glaring at the Englishman so it was obvious it was him who talked to the Brit as the younger Italian was looking around at him with a little less annoyance.
"Yes, in fact there is. This Frog is annoying me."
"Then move your fucking ass and sit in a different seat." Lovino snapped as he turned back to his presentation and continued his speech with his brother who was taking a more relaxed approach to the whole thing. Arthur glared at the Italian's before packing up his things into his briefcase.
"You're not seriously moving?" Francis asked as Arthur nodded and looked across the room to an empty seat that wasn't Alfred's. A small smirked formed on his face as he nodded and stood up.
"I'm afraid for this meeting I am." His eyes didn't look towards the Frenchman as he looked at the chair he was going to sit in. The seat was between Bella, the representative of Belgium, and none other than the Spaniard that Arthur needed to speak with. As Arthur walked around the table to the seat he could almost hear Antonio's thoughts chanting:
'Please don't sit next to me. Please don't sit next to me'
Arthur smiled as he pulled out the chair and sat in it placing his briefcase down beside Antonio on the table with a loud thud. This made the nervous Spaniard jump and an evil glare come Arthur's way from a certain grumpy Italian but he wasn't particularly interested in what the Italian's were saying. Instead he got out his needed items and pretended to look interested as he took notes before he slowly turned his head to face Antonio.
"Hello there chap."
"Urm… Hola Arthur." Antonio smiled his well know smile but something was off about it and instantly Arthur could tell he was hiding something from him and probably the entire team of people in the meeting room right now.
"So… got any good notes?"
"Not really, kinda in my own world today. I keep spacing out, think it's because I'm tired."
"Really? I thought you had siestas to take care of the problem?"
"… I do but I can't sleep at night lately, don't know why." Antonio smiled through the pressure of Arthur's questions as he held his ground refusing to give into the Brit. Arthur simply nodded before turning his head away to listen to the end of Lovino's speech not noticing the glare burying into the back of his head from a certain Spanish man. However Antonio sighed and looked down at his blank notepad breaking away from the glare. The buzz of Lovino's voice pocked in his thoughts as he gazed out the window to his left behind Kiku Honda and Elizabeta Hedervary letting his thoughts whirl around his head. He was completely lost in thought that he didn't know the meeting had even finished until Arthur nudged his shoulder.
"Hm?" He looked around only to see the room empty apart from a few people staying around to talk to one on other, stood at the side of his chair was Arthur.
"The meetings finished are you not going to go home?" Arthur asked as his bright emerald orbs buried into Antonio.
"O-Oh yeah… lost in thought again." He laughed as he stood up and backed his things away before heading to the door only to be stopped by someone grabbing his arm and holding him back. He turned back to see Arthur stood there looking at him with a serious look on his face, more so than usual.
"What were you looking at me for in the first half of the meeting? You didn't even meet with my eyes once I did look at you, you seemed awfully nervous. Do you need to talk with me or something?"
"N-No… I'm fine, I'm sorry for staring at you earlier I tend to lose focus during meetings especially when I'm tired so I end up looking anywhere… sorry." Antonio looked into the Brit's eyes to get his point across before tugging his arm from Arthur's grasp and walking out the room a heavy sigh escaping his lips as he walked away. Although this time it was Arthur's turn to stare into the back of Antonio as he walked away.
