CHAPTER 4: Realization
After the incident that happened, both men were quiet the whole walk to the park. Neither of them glanced or made a sound to each other. When they arrived at the park they both took a seat on the swings. Alfred was the first to break the silence between them.
"So, why are you here in the states again? Something about business?"
"Yes, I'm here about work. I'm not going to be here for much longer though."
Alfred felt worried for some reason. Like he was going to lose something very important.
"How much longer you staying?" Alfred had concern in his eyes looking at Arthur.
Arthur replied to him, confused by his expression.
"I'm here for about another week. Maybe even shorter. I've been able to work fairly quickly, so I might not be here for much longer."
Arthur looked back at Alfred. There was a hint of sadness in his emerald eyes. Alfred wondered why the English man looked like that. "Why would he be sad?" thought Alfred.
"Why don't you slow down a bit?"
Alfred was confused why he asked that as well as Arthur. Arthur took a moment to think and replied when he thought of what to say.
"Why would I need to slow down? I'm almost done." Arthur didn't look at Alfred when he responded. He was scared to look at him.
Alfred sat there gazing at the ground from Arthur's answer. Alfred had an idea and shot up from the swing.
"How about we hang out tomorrow!"
Arthur looked puzzled at Alfred.
"What? Why?" Asked Arthur.
"Well, you're my friend. Actually, I think you're my first friend."
Arthur looked astonished at Alfred. "I'm his first friend? He's bound to have others."
"I'm your first friend? You have to have others. I can't be your first friend."
"Nope. You're my first. Sure, I'm talkative and nice but most people, for some reason, don't like that about me, so they stay away from me."
Arthur was very confused and sad by what Alfred said.
"Frankly, that's quite rude. I don't see anything wrong with you. Sure, you have an obnoxious personallity, but that's you and I actually like that about you. Your smile makes me very happy and on top of that, you're quite handsome and-"
Arthur cut off realizing what he was saying and his eyes were as big as they could be. Alfred just stood there, dumbfounded by what he just heard. It was quiet between them for a while. Arthur was the first to speak.
"Um, please forget I said that."
Alfred still staring replied. What he said shocked Arthur even more.
"How could I? No one's ever said that about me before, well beside some girls calling me handsome, but no one's said they liked my smile before. I don't want to forget."
Alfred ended with his big, bright smile that Arthur liked.
Arthur stared at him for a moment then got up from the swing. His next action stunned Alfred.
Arthur gently placed his hands on Alfred's face, looking into his baby blue eyes. Slowly, Arthur leaned in and kissed Alfred. Both of them closed their eyes and fell into the kiss. The kiss slowly grew deeper and longer. They could've gone forever if not for the need of air. When they separated Alfred leaned his forehead against Arthur's. Both were taking deep breathes, staring into each other's eyes. Arthur smiled and planted another kiss on Alfred's lips, causing him to let out a small, low moan.
"Are you sure about this?" Alfred asked Arthur.
"If I wasn't, I wouldn't have kissed you git. We do however, need to go where no one can see us."
Alfred smiled against Arthur's lips and then picked him up with ease.
"I surely can't be that light." Replied Arthur.
"No, I'm just that strong." Alfred said with a huge grin on his face.
~~~Time Skip again!~~~
After the walk to Alfred's house both men made their way to the bedroom. Arthur and Alfred were engaged in kisses all the way to the room. Alfred shut the door behind them and placed Arthur on the bed. (Alfred was carrying Arthur the entire time upstairs and into the room.)
Alfred towered over Arthur. He began kissing him on his jaw then down his neck. Arthur let out small moans from the sensation. The only sound in the room was kissing, until Alfred spoke.
"I'm starting to get really hot."
"Then take off a few layers. I'm sure that will help."
Arthur started unzipping Alfred's jacket. Alfred then remembered why he zipped it up in the first place, but it was too late.
Arthur was staring at Alfred's chest in confusion, astonishment and a bit of fear.
"Why is your chest glowing..?"
"Uh, well, you see..." Alfred didn't know how to answer. He was bracing himself for either being pushed away, or to get yelled at. Neither came. There was silence as Arthur studied Alfred's glowing chest.
"May I ask how this happens? I'm curious." Arthur said this still studying Alfred.
"Uh, well.. The people in this town don't know how it happens... We're just born with it..."
Alfred looked at Arthur who was sitting up.
"Take off your shirt." Arthur demanded.
"Uh, okay..." Alfred replied confused.
After Alfred took off his shirt he looked back at Arthur. Arthur looked over Alfred's toned muscles. His sculpted abs are what really got him flustered, but he tried to focus on what he was doing earlier. Arthur placed his hand on Alfred's chest. Alfred took in a sharp breath. Arthur's hand was cold on his burning chest.
"It's so warm and comforting. Is this why you were acting strange at the ice cream shop?" Arthur remembered what Alfred was doing and let out a small chuckle.
"Yeah... I didn't want to scare you off and I didn't want to lose the first friend I made. This is the first time it's happened to me, so I was nervous. Haha." Alfred had a small smile while rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, it would have frightened me then, but I got to talk with you more and I realized my feelings for you... I like this warmth. How long does it last? What does it mean?" Arthur had many questions, but only stuck to a few.
"It only lasts for 24hrs and the reason or meaning of it is that..."
"That it means what?"
"...That I found my soulmate."
Arthur blushed a furious red and covered his face because of it. Alfred giggled and placed a large hand on Arthur's head, roughing up his hair. Arthur uncovered his face and saw that big grin he loved on Alfred's face. Both of them started to laugh and stopped when Alfred kissed Arthur. It was about to be an unforgettable night for the both of them.
