Alfred grumbled to himself as he laid bored on his couch. He was glad winter break was on, but he had nothing to do. Truly though he was just choosing not to do the things available. He could pay Xbox 360, but he had beaten all the games. He could get online, but all his friends were offline and with their family and partners. He sighed tried of his boredom ruining his break. He sat up and looked over at the clock. It was around 12:00 so he had plenty of time to do something, but what?
The door bell rung and Alfred got up on his feet and walked over to open it. "Oi, how are you?" Francis said smiling brightly. Alfred mumbled a "come in." and shut the door once Francis was in. Alfred watched Francis at he took a seat waiting for his Canadian. "Matthew! Francis is here and I'm going out." Alfred called out so his brother could here from upstairs. He went over to the closest And slipped on his jacket. Matthew came down stairs and looked at his brother. "Where are you going?" He asked curious why his brother all of the sudden was leaving.
Alfred smiled at him and shrugged. "Don't' know, but somewhere that's not here." Matthew frowned at the very vague answer. "Well alright then…" Alfred went over to the door and put his hand over the knob. "I'll see ya later Matt." He didn't waste time saying anything to Francis since he didn't really want to. He opened the door and it slammed shut behind him.
Alfred went over to his car. He already actually knew where he was going since who else did he have to visit. All his "friends" were busy doing there own thing. He smiled and turned the key in the ignition and pulled out of the drive way driving in the direction to Arthur's house. He listened to the radio thinking to himself. Gosh, Arthur really confused him at times. I mean he liked him, but it was like he had mood swings or something. One time he could be calling him a "twit" or "git" and then the next kissing him with such gentle force. It boggled his mind, but what could he do. He loved the Brit so. Wait did he just say love?
He pulled into Arthur's driveway and turned of his car. Alred slowly strolled up to the door. He stopped in place frozen at it. A faint sound of guitar and singing was heard from where he stood. He pressed his ear right up to the door trying to understand the lyrics more clearly. "I don't want this moment to ever end, Where everything's nothing without you.I'd wait here forever just to, to see you smile, 'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you."
Alfred smiled listening to the voice which was really beautiful. "Through it all, I've made my mistakes. I stumble and fall, but I mean these words…." Alfred barely could hear him. He opened the door and luckily for him it was unlocked. He slipped inside the house carefully. He stayed in the hall way and listened more to Arthur sing from the living room.
The pace in the guitar playing picked up. "I want you to know, With everything I won't let this go. These words are my heart and soul. I'll hold on to this moment, you know, As I bleed my heart out to show, And I won't let go." His voice rung out and made Alfred's heart speed up. Gosh, it was just so nice to him . "Thoughts read, unspoken, forever in vow, And pieces of memories fall to the ground. I know what I didn't have, so I won't let this go, 'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you." Arthur then repeated the chorus over sounding just as good as last time.
The music's tempo and sound changed softer and as did Arthur's voice. "In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies, When you don't know what you're looking to find." He repeated the verse before moving on to the next one. "I don't want this moment to ever end, Where everything's nothing without you." Alfred was grinning to himself as he ended the song off with two choruses to finish it off. He heard Arthur put down the guitar and walk out of the room. As soon as he was in front of Alfred he was wrapped in a surprise hug from behind him. Arthur squirmed and then saw it was Alfred holding him and not some robber or murderer. . "What are you doing in my house!" He said in a pretty angry tone. Alfred held him tighter and closer still feeling overwhelmed with love and admiration of his boyfriend.
"You are amazing Artie! You sing so awesome and your playing rocks too!" He sounded like some crazy fan, but didn't care. Arthur blushed and looked at his feet. "So you were listening in…?" Arthur felt embarrassed for even knowing the song since it was sappy at parts, but now Alfred had heard it and he just wanted to crumble up in a corner. Alfred nodded fast. "Yep!" He chirped not noticing the British male's dismay. Arthur pulled away and looked at Alfred. "Y-you liked it?" He asked nervous. Alfred looked back at Arthur and smiled softy. "Of course I did." He leaned forward and gave Arthur a small peck on the lips. Arthur's face hearted up. "oh thanks.." He said and couldn't keep from smiling a little bit.
Alfred looked over to the living room. "Could you play more for me?" He asked giving him puppy dog eyes. Arthur nodded lightly. "I guess" He said quietly. Alfred grinned and took his hand pulling him back to the living room. Alfred sat in front of Arthur as he set him self up for another song. It was like a private concert just for him. The thought made him anticipate Arthur's starting more. Arthur took out his guitar pick and sent a warm smile to Alfred. He took a breath before beginning to place the intro to the song.
He sung the beginning softly and turned up the volume slightly at the chorus. "This is the last night you'll spend alone. Look me in the eyes so I know you know. I'm everywhere you want me to be. The last night you'll spend alone. I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go. I'm everything You need me to be." His Voice made Alfred blush. It was just so lovely. He barely could keep himself from crashing his lips over those light red ones that kept singing such beautiful words.
Arthur quickly got through the next short verse and chorus making his way to the bridge. "The night is so long when everything's wrong, if you give me your hand I will help you hold on, Tonight….Tonight." Alfred let his childish side get the best of him and lunged forward stopping Arthur's playing and singing so her could kiss him. Arthur was shocked by the sudden lip lock but soon loosened. He dropped the guitar down softly and put his hands around Alfred's neck. Their lips moved together in the growing needy kiss only breaking apart when one of them needed a quick gasp on air.
Alfred slid his hands down to hold Arthur's hips. The action made Arthur blush and grow a little more alert ,but didn't stop him from kissing. He intertwined his fingers in the American's soft blonde hair. Alfred grinned a little and traced his tongue over the Brit's bottom lip. This made Arthur pull away, but kept his hand around his neck. "Alfred…" He started to say but was cut off by the American boyfriend. "I'm sorry Artie! I didn't mean to do anything you didn't like. Sorry!" He looked at him concerned he screwed up. Arthur sighed and planted a short gentle kiss on his worried lips. He pulled away a small amount keeping there foreheads touching. "It's alright love. I was just surprised." Alfred let out a small sigh of relief. "Good."
Alfred then realized his ands were still on Arthur's hips. He took the advantage and pulled him closer in. Arthur's face flushed and looked up at him. Alfred smirked and whispered in his ear. "I love you Arthur." Arthur froze up and Alfred pulled away starting to make his way to the hallway. Arthur blinked and trailed slowly behind. "Wh-what did you say?" He asked. Maybe his ears were playing tricks on him and he misheard him. Alfred turned around with a wide smile. "Is said I love you Arthur Kirkland and…" He paused for a dramatic effect. "I hope the next time I see you you'll be able to return the feeling." He waved a small good-bye and shut the door hoping he didn't do something he would regret later.
AUTOUR'S NOTE: So sorry I havent updated in awhile guys, (Schoool and holiday crud gets in the way ) but here is next part. I hope I'm doing good on this thing because I'm really feeling disheartened with it. I just feel like I'm failing at it making it too choppy or short. Also the two songs are With Me by Sum 41 and Whispers in The Dark by Skillet. Anyways, I hope you like the new chapter.
