~~~Francis~~~

Oh, à l'enfer with ze American. Why is he always getting in my way?

We are all in his house. Arthur and him are having a conversation about incorrect grammar. I can tell Alfie hardly knows anything, but I know almost nothing. So, he continues the conversation happily knowing I can't join in. I grab a box and tell the two of them that I'll be waiting outside. Let them take their blasted time together.

If he doesn't want me, I don't want him.

~~~Arthur~~~

For some reason, I feel bad that Francis left. Sometimes I hate the differences between us.

I begin to stop listening to Alfred until he wraps his arms around me. "Artie~" He whispers into my ear in a seductive tone. I feel a shiver tingle down my spine. "I like you." I stand there speechless.

But then I begin to say, "A-alf-" He presses his lips against mine. I never thought his lips were this soft or that his body was this strong. Before I have time to think about what to do next, I notice that I myself am kissing him back. We part and a blush begins to creep across my face. "I-i-i l-l-l-lik-k-ke y-y-you t-too..." I manged to stutter it out. We kiss. Again and again until our kisses become less hungry and a bit sweeter.

"Will you go out with me?" Kiss.

"Yes" Kiss.

"Don't ever leave me." Kiss.

"You were the one who left me." Pause with a kiss.

"I'm sorry." Kiss.

"It's fine." Kiss.

"Your the only one I want." Kiss.

"Glad the feelings mutual~" I giggle. Kiss.

We kiss more and more and I feel as though his kisses can heal me and my pain. It's akmost as if by kissing him everything will be better. Alfred opens his mouth, "I l-lo-"

"France!" My scream startles him and he takes a step back. "He's outside waiting. He's probably wondering what's going on that's taking us so long!"

His smile fades off his face and is replaced quickly with a frown. But Alfred, being the stupid American he is, grins exclaiming, "Let's go!"

I smile and take his hand. It's really warm and has a good grip. What happened to the little country I found in the fields? When did he bcome so big? How did become this strong?
