Arthur sighed as he packed up his backpack. It was finally the end of the day and he could go home. He slung the back pack over his shoulder and closed his locker door. He locked it and turned around. He yelped quietly as he saw Alfred waiting there. Alfred chuckled at the surprised reaction. It was so cute.

"Don't sneak up on me like that, twat." Arthur said a bit annoyed. Alfred grinned and reached for the Brit's hand. "Come on Artie." He said and started pulling the shorter male with him. Arthur rolled is eyes as he walked with him. It was odd to have your hand being held and pulled in public. Especially in a school of all places.

"Where are we going?" Arthur asked as they entered the parking lot. Alfred let go of his hand as they reached the car. He opened the door and Arthur entered with a small blush. Alfred followed and turned the key in the ignition. "I'm taking ya to my house." He said with a silly smile and started to drive.

Arthur blinked. It would make sense for him to go to his boyfriend's house, but it was still odd. Plus he was still weary about the whole love thing. It was gnawing at him. "Hmm, okay then." He said and stared out the window. He placed his hand on the hand rest.

Alfred moved one hand on his causing Arthur to look at him. "We'll be there in like a minute." He said with a cheeky grin. Arthur nodded and intertwined their fingers. He just wanted to feel the grip of Alfred of his hand. It was a feeling of safety.

Alfred's house was in the corner of their eyes and he turned into the drive. Arthur scanned the house. It was a large building that was your average looking home. They stepped out and Alfred went to his door and unlocked it. The door swung open and Arthur followed his boyfriend in.

"So just put your bag down whoever you want." Alfred said dropping his own bag in the middle of the floor. Arthur just placed his besides Alfred's. He followed after him, scanning the rooms as he did. "Alfred?" Arthur asked wondering why he was making him follow him.

Alfred went up the stairs and opened the door to his bedroom. Arthur trailed behind and entered the room. It was messy and out of place with posters on the wall, a few athletics trophies, empty cans of soda, and clothes thrown around. Pretty much a total opposite to Arthur's room.

Alfred closed the door and plopped himself on his bed. He noticed Arthur standing up uncomfortably and rolled over making room. "Lay next to me?" He said smiling like a little child. Arthur nodded a little and quietly laid down next to the American. It was a little awkward though.

"Ho w was your first day back?" Arthur asked trying to start some sort of conversation. Being in silence always made him nervous. Alfred laughed lightly. "Boring and all that. How about you?" He said staring up at the ceiling. It was just plain white with a simple design. Arthur shrugged his shoulders. "Fine." He said in a short answer. He had enjoyed making a new friend with that girl.

Alfred turned and faced Arthur. Arthur felt a small pink flush cover his cheeks. "Arthur…" He trailed off gazing at his green eyes. It was time to get his answer. He needed to know if he felt the same way.

Arthur looked back shyly. "Yes, Alfred?" He answered already knowing what direction this whole thing was going to. He had to tell him….tell him he loved him back. Alfred put on hand on Arthur's cheek and stroke it. "Do you love me Arthur?" He asked feeling his heart racing.

Arthur felt his lips grow dry. A small tremble went through his body. Alfred could feel it and he pulled him closer wrapping his arms around him. "Artie, I don't want you to be nervous around me." He whispered and Arthur looked at him slightly teary eyes.

'Why can't you just tell him how you feel?' Arthur thought to himself. He was a sad mess when it came to his feelings. He would rather just shove them away and forget they even exist since most resulted in pain anyways. "N-no." Arthur stumbled out.

He hid his face in Alfred's over size T-shirt. Alfred gritted his teeth. He was the cause of this, him and his stupid mouth. "It's okay if you don't love me…" He said lowly. This made Arthur's face shot up. He crashed his lips to Alfred's in a deep kiss. He put his arms around Alfred's neck and kissed him more forcefully.

Alfred pulled away with a smirk spread across his lips. "Hmm" He mumbled and watched Arthur. "I do love you git." Arthur said hoping he'd never have to regret those words. Things such as love weren't suppose to be used whenever you felt like it. He loved Alfred, even without knowing him all that long. It was just inevitable for him. He was hooked.

Alfred sighed in relief and pecked Arthur's lip then tightened his secure grip on him. "That is such good news dude..." Arthur's face heated up. He buried his head in Alfred's chest. He just wanted to stay in this calm scene.

Nothing was wrong right now. He was safe with Alfred and that was what mattered. He closed his eyes and scooted as close as he could to him. Alfred blushed and watched him with a caring look in his eye. He never wanted anything to happen to the Brit.

I mean what kind kind of a boyfriend would allow their partner to suffer intentionally?
