Arthur sat bored in his homeroom class, slouching slightly in his chair. He wished break would of lasted at least a day longer. He looked around the room seeing all his classmate socializing after being apart. He sighed glad Alfred wasn't in his homeroom. He still hasn't been able to talk to him ever since the other day at his house. When he was listening to him, kissing, and saying I love you….

He stopped his thoughts. 'Just focus on schoolwork and get through the day.' He told himself. He looked at the clock seeing it was a minute away from ringing for period one, which he didn't have with Alfred. He gathered his stuff holding it against his chest. The bell rung and he got up bracing himself for the day.

He walked through the hall that had lots of stragglers chit chatting instead of going to class. One of the stragglers called for Arthur. "Hey Arthur." It was a women's voice. He looked behind hi to see a girl with long brunette hair and a flower in her hair. He plastered a fake smile on his face. "Hello." He said.

The girl blushed at his accent. "My name's Elizabeta, I've heard about you from my boyfriend." She said smiling widely. Arthur nodded at her. "I see." He was suspecting her boyfriend was probably one of Alfred's friend's since it seemed he was friends with almost anyone he could find.

Elizabeta giggled a little and they both continued walking towards their classes. "So like I was saying, Gilbert had told me about you and Alfred." Arthur's face flushed a little bit. He always felt awkward about talking about his personal life. "Heh." Was all he said in response. She noticed his expression was a little uncomfortable and she gave him a reassuring smile. "I think it's really sweet." She said in a cheery tone.

Arthur chuckled. He was glad she wasn't one of those people who looked down on people for that. "I guess so." He said as they reached his English class. She glanced at her watch and gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I better rush to class." She waved and went dashing to her period one class.

He went into his own class and took his seat. He knew he wouldn't have to see Alfred until lunch. That let him relax and pay attention to his teacher's lesson. The petite women teaching the class wrote a page number on the board and Arthur took out his book. He opened up to the page and started reading along with the rest of the class.

…

It was lunch time as studennts poured into the cafeteria. Arthur sat down at an empty table with his lunch. He took out his food and munched quietly to himself. He was enjoying the short moment of peace. But, as he expected, the peace of mind only lasted a short while. Elizabeta and who Arthur suspected was her boyfriend sat down wit him. She flashed a grin at him. "Hey Arthur." She said. The albino looking man beside her grinned at the Brit. "Yo." He said.

He looked at them both and politely smiled back. "Hi, how are you?" He asked. Gilbert took a sip of his drink and then looked at Arthur. "Okay, hating how unawesome it is being here." Elizabeta rolled her eyes at that. "Right…and I'm doing good also...You?" Arthur shrugged at her. "I'm alright." He said. He was actually wondering where his boyfriend was.

Elizabeta watched his eyes scanning the room. "He's probably just with his friends." She said. Arthur was startled by her pretty much reading his mind. He blushed a little. "Ahh" He said turning his attention back to his lunch even though he wasn't hungry after all. Gilbert smirked. "He's probably breaking rules with all them on the first day back." He laughed softly.

The Brit smiled sadly. He hoped not since he didn't want Alfred getting into trouble. The bell rung and Arthur excused himself. He threw his barely touched bagged lunch and went to his next class.

…

Arthur walked into his Math class and saw Alfred was already there chatting with people around his desk. Arthur felt awkward just walking and sitting down in the middle of their conversation so he took a different seat. He wasn't one to go and interrupt other people's business. He tapped his desk with his pencil lightly. A few of the people crowding Alfred's desk left giving Alfred some vision around the room. He noticed Arthur across the room and frowned.

He quickly told his friend to head to class and went up to Arthur's desk He tapped the Englishman's shoulders making him jolt a little bit up. Arthur grinned at the reaction. "What's up Artie? Haven't talked to ya all day." He said. Arthur looked at him sadly annoyed. "Well that's because we don't have classes together until this one." Alfred sighed. They both knew that wasn't what he was hinting at.

The American looked at him seriously. "So, have you thought about what I said?" His voice was soft and humble. Arthur blushed a light red shade. He wanted to say something along the lines of, 'Of course git, how could I not.?' It sounded a little too girly for his taste though. "Yeah…" He said trying to avert his gaze from Alfred's deep blue eyes. "And do you have an answer?" They both knew it wasn't a question Alfred had asked technically ,but he had pretty much asked him do you love me back?

The bell rung and the teacher strolled inside. "Alright class, take your seats." Alfred sent a soft smile at Arthur before turning around to head back to his chair. This time Arthur was really glad he wasn't sitting in front of him. How could he explain this to Alfred? He did love him, but he was never good at expressing himself. It always seemed no matter what the situation or feeling whenever Arthur had to explain himself he always lost someone close. And he didn't want Alfred to leave him because of his incapability to speak. He'd be torn to shreds.
