I fluttered my eyes open. I felt the blood drain from me and quickly sat up, wide-awake. I touched my face for some reason, then grunted and looked around the room I was in. It had giant windows looking into the woods and earthy toned furniture, giving the room a cozy nature feeling.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door that made me jump.

"You're awake. Good! You scared me Kiku-kun!" said Alfred's familiar hyper-active voice.

I crossed my arms. "Why'd you do this. You could've taken me home, you know." I stated.

"Nah… You looked too peaceful. I didn't feel like taking you all the way home." He said, gliding to the bed and hopping on. A strong pair of arms snaked around me and kept me from moving off the bed. "And no leaving. You're my little snuggle buddy!" He said, rubbing his head against my shoulder.

Little snuggle buddy? What?!

"Come here, little snuggle buddy!" Alfred said, pulling closer and onto his lap.

"W-W-Wait. Stop! Alfred, let go!" I practically shouted.

The arms around me went limp. "You don't have to yell… I'm sorry. I just wanted to have fun and make you smile." He said.

Kuso! What do I do? Let's just make him happy and have him take me home.

I opened my mouth to make him do what my mind said to do, but my arms fell on top of his. It made me jump and grab his hand.

There's no explanation for that one, baka.

After a few seconds, he reacted and grabbed back onto my hand.

Even though there was no one else around, I still felt stupid. Being held like a child by another man! Holding hands affectionately with another man! I thought about earlier though and blushed. Really? Not now, Kiku!

Yet… Contact with him wasn't to bad…

I sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell." I murmured.

He smiled and kissed the top of my head. "It's alright, Kiku. I should have gone slower. It's just…been a while, you know?" Alfred chuckled. "And well… I'm a little into you if you hadn't noticed already."

"B-B-But we-we're both guys!" I stuttered, blushing.

"So? That doesn't mean I can't like you," he stated and started playing with my hair, which made me shiver.

"Are you cold..?" He asked politely while wrapping his arms around me more snuggly.

I shivered a bit more. I just couldn't believe this was happening!

"Kiku...?" He called softly, trying to turn me slightly to face him so he could look at me.

I stayed glued where I was.

It was silent except for the rain outside, which had now turned into a heavy thunderstorm.

I am kind of cold…

"A-Alfred..?" I asked.

"Yes, Kiku?" He answered sweetly.

I froze. His words… His voice… It sounded… I don't know… Beautiful…

"Yes?" He answered again, a bit impatiently this time.

"I-Is it stupid for me…to ask you to…maybe…h-hold me closer...?" I managed to choke out.

"What?" He asked.

"C-Can you…hold me..?" I asked a bit more understandable this time. "I'm just really cold, and I don't want to hurt your feeling by just using your blanket." I added quickly but smoothly.

There was a moment of silence before I could practically hear him smile.

The he moved us to a laying position, spooning but with me facing him. He put the fluffy comforter over us, then cuddled a little closer and stroked my hair.

"Isn't this nice, Kiku-kun?" He asked quietly, never losing his pattern of stroking my hair.

My mind said no, but the rest of my body enjoyed it. It didn't feel right, but it did at the same time.

I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to restrain from yawning.

He used his free arm to rub my back.

There was a soft roar of thunder and some lightning.

I yawned and again, I was out like a light.

A/N: I loved this chapter. It's probably my favorite one so far. I know it's short, but it's too sweet. I can't resist it x3

Aaaaand this was like…my fastest update ever xD I almost forgot about it if it wasn't for my boyfriend. He got on my laptop (decided to risk it with my school one and use it) and typed up 3 entire pages of nothing but "Sex. Sex. Sex." over and over again and tried to upload it till he couldn't figure out how xD

Aaaaaaanywaaaay…. Thank you to everyone who R&R's. There's a lot of reviews that've made me sooo happy x3 Thank you so much again, and I'll get onto the next chapter ASAP.
