Sweet Devil AU Part V
"…Arthur..Why were those people so mean to you earlier?.." Alfred asked as he and Arthur made their way back to Arthur's house in the woods.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Arthur answered, although Alfred could see that he was trying to ignore the question.
"..Those people in town..They were giving you really mean looks…and I heard someone called you a corrupted angel, Arthur, what does that mean?" Alfred looked up at Arthur, only to find him giving him a sad look. Arthur bend down till he was almost the same height as Alfred.
"…It's..It's better if you don't know….Alfred, how much do you know about angels? Yes I know you are one, but tell me, from your opinion, what do you think angels are like?" Arthur stared into Alfred's blue ones, with a serious yet gentle gaze.
"..Well, I heard that they are very nice and kind, and, and that they are very understanding and will help you when you need them to!" Alfred replied cheerfully, although his image of them were already destroyed the last time he came, Arthur was the only one so far that fitted that image.
"Well then, do you want to grow up to be like that?" Arthur gripped Alfred hand, waiting for his answer.
"Yeah!" Alfred's eye lit up in happiness.
"Good….Don't ever change….please.." Arthur let out a shaky breath, he didn't know how he could take it, if Alfred were to grow up to be like them, for the past month, Alfred has been coming to visit him every single day, and although he didn't wanted to, he's gotten attached to him. If Alfred were to become like them, he would definitely break. Who knows, maybe once Alfred finds out what he really is, he'll change, just like everyone else.
"I want to grow up to be like Arthur!" Alfred's smile on his face grew.
"H-Huh? Why would you want that?" Arthur couldn't help asking, there's definitely nothing that special about him that admirable.
"Because Arthur is kind and he treats me very nicely, and he always help me!"
" W-well, that's so nice of you to say, thank you, I really appreciate it." Arthur petted his head, he felt himself feel up with joy and relief, even though everyone doesn't like him, at least there's one that likes him, he just hoped that these moments won't ever end.
"Unlike those meanies that are so mean to Arthur! I don't even know why they are angels!" Arthur was taken aback at what came out of the younger's mouth.
"A-alfred…there's nothing wrong with them, so you shouldn't say things like that.." Arthur said, hoping to be able to calm down the other, but Alfred wasn't finish.
"Then why are they so mean to you?!" Alfred started pouting.
"Alfred, listen to me…It's not their fault that they acted that way, people tend to hate on or avoid things that they don't understand, you can't blame them, It's because I'm different from them, they're scared of me, it's normal for them to act the way they are.." Arthur reassured him.
"Then what makes you so different from them?" Alfred pout turned into a frown.
"..I'll..tell you when you're older..I promise.." Arthur hesitated, truth be told, he was just afraid of Alfred's reaction, would he hate him, would he ran away from him and never come back? The possibilities were endless, though Arthur didn't want to risk it, he at least wanted to be able to enjoy a little longer, when the time's right, and when he's ready, he'll tell him, at least if he breaks his heart then, he'll be prepared for it.
"…O-okay.." Alfred looked down at the floor sadly, what was Arthur trying to hide from him, he felt upset, because he felt that Arthur didn't trust him.
"Hey, don't be sad..Come, let's go back now shall we?" Arthur stood up and extended his hand, waiting for Alfred.
Alfred looked up and was met with a gaze that was gentle and full of love, he felt all his anger and annoyance disappeared once his gaze met those emerald ones.
"Okay!" His smile was back again and he raised his arm to connect his hand with Arthur's.
Alfred concluded that Arthur was too nice to those people, they hurt him and yet he still defended them.
The only thing Alfred seemed to realized as days passed is that they don't appreciate Arthur for who he is, Arthur is nice and understanding, he is kind and compassionate, like a real angel, but they shun him, just because he is different than them.
Of course he is different than them, there is no way Arthur is the same as them, they are cruel and not understanding at all, Arthur is the complete opposite of them.
As Alfred laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling, he thought back about the day he spend with Arthur, nothing in this world seemed to make him happier than to see Arthur happy, he knew that Arthur really like spending time with him, and that brought joy to the young demon.
"But he still won't tell me what makes him different than them…" Alfred pouted just thinking about the rejection from Arthur.
'..When you're older..' Alfred's pout seemed to grew and he turned to the side, trying to get some sleep so he wouldn't be tired for the next day that he was going to spend with Arthur.
He really wished he would grow up faster.
