could tell him what happened last night~

"You again? Do you not have anything better to do than follow me around?"

((not that I mind, of course ^o^))

[ 8D ]

shrugged. "I have lots better to do actually~"

sighs. "Well, I'm busy at the moment, so I would thank you to please do that instead."

"Are you actually doing work? My that is a shocker~" He joked.

glares. "Yes, I am. I don't see why that should come as such a surprise to you, considering it's been awhile since I've seen you do any."

waved his hand. "I do work *all* the time~"

scoffs. "That's an understatement."

chuckled. "Oui is it now?"

"Yes, it is. Like I said, I never see YOU do anything constructive."

waved his hand again sitting on Arthur's desk. "I do things constructive all the time~ Look I'll show you~" he said pulling

out his cell phone and dialing Alfred's number~

panicks. "What are you doing?"

"Some thing constructive~" he laughed waiting for him to pick up.

panics even more when he hears who's on the other end. "Would you put that away? I'm busy!"

grins hearing Alfred. He shook his head at Arthur. "Bonjour Alfred~"

mumbles under his breath, "A little TOO random if you ask me."

crossed his legs taking over Arthur's desk. "Mhn hush you Rosbif So Alfred~ I'm hear with Arthur, and I think he would like to speak to you"

can be heard in the background: "I never said that!"

facepalms. He knows Francis is only doing this to get under his skin, and he doesn't want to admit that it's working.

shook his head. "Oi, Non It is no joke~ Fuzzybrows here is just stubborn. He *realllly* would like to talk with you~"

mumbles, "My point exactly."

presses the speakerphone button. "Oi, you are now on speakerphone~ Talk"

speaks up. "I apologise for Francis' rude behaviour; it appears he can't help setting a new low.

rolled his eyes. "Well you are not going to speak to him you damn Britt."

sighs. "Yes, I am here. ..." This is extremely awkward. "So ... how are things?" He inwardly wants to choke Francis for this.

a HUGE grin on his face.

, "What's wrong? Things not working out with your new girlfriend?"

"Let's just say a little bird told me about this new Chinese girl you've been seeing. Well, no matter. I'm not one to split up HAPPY COUPLES

"Then what exactly IS the nature of your relationship with that Japanese girl who Kik--er, a little bird told me you were seeing?"

"See I told you he was single, you crazy person~" He chimed in.

"Are you sure that you haven't been seeing anyone behind my back? ... If you weren't, I suppose then I'll have to direct my annoyance

towards our resident 'little bird.'"

"I think I've heard enough. So, let me get this straight. If you see a hot woman, you run off with her?"

"And nothing else? I seriously don't want things between us to depend on me using my sex change machine."

"Of course it wasn't me! You know what my female form looks like!"

"Wait! ... If there was nothing going on between you two, I do want to know ..."

, "I can't remain like this forever."

shrugged and shut his phone. 'I think that went well~"

"Well ... perhaps."

chuckled. getting off of his desk.

"Well, now I suppose I'll be finishing what I started."

"See, I did something constructive~" he joked.

starts to continue, but stops. There is still something on his mind. "We'll see."

still can't figure out what to write next. "Fuck it. I'll finish later."

walks over to the kitchen to get some tea.

hummed following Arthur~

turns around. "I thought you said you hated tea -- and my cooking."

nods. 'Oui I-" he was cut off by Alfreds ringtone 'All the single ladies' He grinned picking it up. "Bonjour~"

nods. "Oui of course~ I'll be right there." He turned walking out of the kitchen and to the front door.

"Where are you going? My tea is not that bad!"

closes his phone, and reaches the door opening it, smiling at Alfred.

doesn't like the look of that. It always means trouble.

knows that voice and shakes his head. Francis has got to stop butting in.

laughs returning the manly hug. "Not a problem~ Let's go pester Mr. Hard head~" he said smirking, turning to walk back into the kitchen.

taken aback. "Hello ... Alfred ... what brings you here?"

sighs. "What do you want to talk about? ... I suppose it would be nice to just get this resolved and out of the way so we can go on with

our lives."

sighs. "I don't hate you. It's just ... after hearing from Kiku about you and the Chinese girl, he made it sound like you had found someone

new, so at that point, I thought, why bother?"

then realises he let it slip, but it's too late now. "He told me this because he didn't want to see me get hurt."

"You know, the one you went out for ice cream with."

"Yes, that person. I guess you never know who you're going to run into."

((thank you, lol))

((^o^))

((Well, he at least knows Creeper!Kiku cares.))

"That's what I needed to hear. You can still remain friends with her, of course. I won't stop you from doing that. However, if you want me

((exactly...now I let you be))

to be your ... 'valentine,' as you put it, it will have to be exclusive."

((Okay ^_^))

"That's precisely what I meant."

"That sort of ... thing is meant to be shared with only one person; naturally, friendship can be divided amongst many, but I just wanted

to know where I stood and where she stood."

blushes. This is what he wanted, though would he be able to admit it?

"........ I suppose we could ... be .... dates and stuff." He can't believe what he's saying, but it just slipped out.

"Let's at least try to take it one at a time. I suppose those wouldn't hurt, though ..."

"I suppose ... well .......... yes. I'm serious."

"I thought it would be easier."

claps. "Oi, Finally."

turns to him. "Wait ... did you have something to do with this? ...... This had better not be a joke."

smirked. "I said I could be constructive~ If this wasnt constructive then I dont know what is~" he hummed.

"Hopefully my ghosts will behave and not divulge themselves to you." He had almost forgotten about Alfred's crippling fear of ghosts.

"Well, I suppose that you can't always be non-constructive ..."

"Well ......" He mumbles "thank you" under his breath, sort of hoping he won't hear.

raised an eyebrow but hugged him back. "Oi, I do not know what I would do with all of those fries. There is no need." he glanced at Arthur-

grinning hearing him thank him~

"Don't read too much into it."

would normally step in ... but he might as well at least let it slide this time.

flailed not expecting that. "Ahhhh, r-reallly there is no need!" He didn't want French Fries anyway.

blushes even more. He doesn't want to appear to have gone soft ... but at the same time doesn't want to send the wrong signal. He almost

lost him once. "All right." He leans in to kiss Alfred.

blushes even heavier. "So ... well ....." He is left speechless.

"Well ... I suppose so. But please resist the urge to scream like a girl if one of my ghosts materialises. They're harmless."

"Oi, well then~ I would *love* to crash your little slumber party~ but I have a date~. Have fun you twoo~" He said with a wave leaving.

"I'm sure I'll see you eventually, then." He turns to Alfred. "They're completely harmless. They only attack on my command."

nods, waving back. "Oui I shall~"

"There's only one bed in there. *sigh* You do realise that your foes will see you as an easy target if you scare that easily, do you not?"

"Please see to it that you do not; we can't take things too quickly." He sighs and begins taking his suit off.

"That's good." He finishes removing his clothes, other than his boxers. "Well, then, I suppose it's tile to rest, then."

--time

sighs. "I'll turn up the heat, then." He walks over to the thermostat and turns it up a bit. "Hopefully, that will be enough. Just try to

sleep, though."

"I don't believe there are in this room."

"They tend to stay in the attic during the night, anyway."

"Just try not to think about those." He thinks to himself. "I'm going to be up all night, otherwise."

((Good night ^_^))

((Glad to finally catch you online, too!))
