not admit he sort of misses his Irish-white/blue skin....

stares a little confused. "Bloody hell, I don't think I've ever seen you so dark."

swaggers around, shirt off and sporting cut-off jeans. 'I look pretty good, huh?'

blushes slightly. "Can you please put some full clothes on?"

looks insulted. 'Feck no! And cover up all my hard-earned glow?' He folds his arms tightly across his chest.

rolls his eyes. "Maybe I don't want others seeing your tan." He started to look away.

steps forward and takes Arthur's chin in his fingers. He turns the Englishman's head towards him and grins. 'Are you jealous?'

blushes more. "No i am not!" He tried to shake his head. "Stop being stupid!"

wraps his arms around him. Arthur was gorgeous as he was, he knew he didn't need a ta

*a tan. 'So why won't you look at me? Do you like me all pale?'

blushes quietly. "I like you no matter what. B-but I'm not jealous."

beginning to wonder if he was right the first time round (when he was joking). 'Art'r...I know ye can't be jealous because you're beautiful_

just the way ye are,' he says softly, smiling.

blushes more at that. "I-I didn't mean that I was jealous of your tan." He muttered and looked away.

confused. 'So what's wrong? Art'r, it is your legal obligation as my boyfriend to tell me.'

huffs slightly and puffs out one of his cheeks. "I just don't.. Want others looking at you.." He muttered and looked away more.

looks very, very surprised and stares for a few long seconds. He then starts laughing.

starts to blush darkly. "W-WHAT?! W-why are you laughing?! D-don't laugh you great git!"

covers his mouth. 'Y-you're so s-stupid!' He doubles over.

looks at him, a little hurt. "W-what?!" He started to glare, now starting to feel stupid.

wipes the tears forming in his eyes. 'You're jealous for that? Art'r, my love, you never should worry about that.'

starts to flush embarrassedly. "Why shouldn't I worry?" There were a lot of people in this world better looking than he was.

takes Arthur's hands in his. 'Because you've nothing to worry about. This,' He nods to his darker skin. 'will fade. But the way I feel for_

you won't. ' He ends his soppy and uncharacteristically cheesy line with a kiss.

kisses him back after, but he nodded when he pulled away. "A-alright.. I just.. I worry.. I mean, I'm not the best looking man.."

's eyebrows furrow. 'Art'r, how many times-! You are beautiful.' He strokes his cheek. 'You are my English Rose, my Mainland Beauty.' ~He

smiles. 'No one could replace you.'

blushes at the names, he started to smile at him. "Y-you.." He hugged him, leaning his head close, his eyes were not watering at all.

smiles back and pretends not to notice any watery eyes. 'I...' He goes on. 'Am very lucky. I get to come to you anytime I want. And, I get_

to own those lips of yours.'

smiles a little bit still, he quickly wiped at his eyes. "Y-you're such a sap..." He mumbled quietly. "B-but I'm glad.."

picks Arthur up and brings his lips to his level. He kisses him and sets him down gently. 'It's in my blood to be sappy. Just be glad I'm_

not serenading you in Oxford Street.

*'

gasps as he was picked up, he automatically grabbed Declan's shoulders. "Ah!" He was shocked, but kissed him back. "I would murder you."

smirks. 'Is that before or after you swoon and faint?'

tries to glare. "I wouldn't faint!"

arches a brow. 'Oh no?'

shakes his head. "Of course not! I'm not like some crazed Beatles fan!"

smirks. 'Maybe I should test that theory, then. Maybe a trip to Oxford Street is in order.'

shakes his head. "Don't you dare."

takes Arthur's hand and begins to lead him towards London. 'I will have you swoon if it's the last thing I do!'

pulls away. "No. Bloody way. I am NOT doing this!"

smirks. 'Then you're going to have to convince me otherwise, Art'r. Best get to killing me, like you said.'

glares at him for a moment, then doing something strange, but just trying to distract him. He wrapped his arms around his neck, and his legs

around his waist, then kissing him. He knew Declan could support his weight easily.

's hands automatically reach and settle under Arthur's rear. He is shocked at the move but is only more eager to take the opportunity to_

grope him. Part of him knew he was being distracted, but he didn't care.

makes a sound at the grope, but presses his lips against Declan's. He would distract him even if it killed him!

backs Arthur into a wall, the idea of Oxford Street completely out of his head now. He moans softly against his lips and his tongue_

searches for Arthur's.

gasps into the kiss as he felt the wall at his back. His tongue found Declan's, glad that the idea seemed to be out of his head now.

's moans grow louder as he savours his taste. He clutches his body to him and only stops the kiss when he runs out of breath. 'What...what_

that for?'

glad that he pulled away, he was sure he was going to pass out from not breathing, instead he was just dizzy. "No reason." He didn't want

that damn idea back in Declan's head. "I wonder how long you would be able to hold me like this.." He said off handedly.

wraps one arm under his rear and another around the small of his back. 'I could hold you forever. You know that.' He lowers his voice and_

winks. 'I'm strong.'

blushes, he couldn't help but arch his back lightly from the touch. "Well, yes. I know, but it's something to wonder, yes?"

nods. 'I agree. It does help that you hardly weigh a thing, though.' He grins, glancing at Arthur's slim frame.

blushes at that. "I-I weigh something!" Just that something wasn't much...

chuckles. 'It's cute. It means I can take you anywhere.'

blushes. "N-no you can't!"

starts listing off places. 'I could take you to the Giant's Causeway, the top of a mountain, the shower...'

perks a little at Giant's Causeway, he hadn't been there in a VERY long time. "T-the shower?! Oh you pig!" He blushed and hit his back.

smiles, noticing he liked the idea of the Giant's Causeway. He'd have to take him there sometime soon. 'I just want to show off my new_

shower tiles!'

nods. "Oh sure.. I don't think I believe that." He would love to go to the Giant's Causeway actually..

'You non-believer.' He accuses, grinning. 'But I'm sure I could convince you to go somewhere else withme.'

raises an eyebrow. "Oh? And where would that me?"

shrugs. 'The Irish shores. Beautiful place, and if you're lucky perhaps there is more.' He grins/

smiles a little at that. "Oh? More? What do you mean?"

takes his hand. 'You'll just have to wait and see. I'll take you around the best parts, I promise.'

sighs quietly and smiles. "Alright.. I'll trust you."

happy to hear it. 'When shall we go?'

shrugs. "Whenever you wish, love."

nods. 'No time like the present. Let's go now.'

smiles slightly and nods. "But I ..we have nothing packed."

grins widely. 'The Euro is good right now, I'll buy you everything you need. Maybe we could find a nice little bed and breakfast somewhere,_

or a cottage to spend some alone time in?

blushes at that. "B-but you don't need to, Declan." He would feel bad if he did that!

nods. 'I know, but it's because I want to. I want to have you alone for a while, just you and me without bosses. You promised me a special_

date, after all!'

blinks. "I didn't think you would remember that." He blushed, but he nodded. "Alright.. no bosses sounds wonderful.."

pulls him into the side of him and nuzzles his neck. 'It does, doesn't it? Without bosses around, I can do lovely nasty things to you.'

makes a sound and blushes almost crimson. "D-don't be crude!" He was slightly excited, not that he would admit it.

grins. 'Don't pretend it doesn't interest you. I bet you'd secretly love to know what I'd do to you.'

goes crimson at that. "I-I would not g-gentlemen aren't perverts!"

turns away and walks off innocently. 'Oh well, I guess you'll never know.' He clasps his hands behind his back.

looks at him a little shocked. "H-hey! Don't just walk away!" He grabbed his hand after.

tips his head back to glance at him. 'Why? Is the gentleman interested?'

looks away. "N-no, it's just.. rude to walk away from me like that.."

Arthur is intensely cute when he does that, and can't resist pulling him in by the hips and nestling his lips to the Englishman's_

ear. 'Baby Art'r, why don't I just tell you? If I had you alone somewhere, I'd first tie you down to the nearest bed-like object.'

makes a little sound as he was pulled, shifting against him, his face felt like it was on fire, he was red to the tips of his ears. "W-would

you now..?" He wasn't sure if he was scared or turned on.

hums. 'Uhhuh. Then I'd tease you with nips and bites until you moaned for me, then I'd work you till you were screaming for me. Sound OK?'

started to blush more if that was even possible. "Sounds like you've been thinking about this for a while."

sniggers as he nibbles on his jawline. 'Only a couple of centuries..'

inhales sharply. "Much longer than most people get to get to know someone."

hums again. 'So tell me, do you want to come on a little trip with me now?'

nods embarrassedly. "Yes.. I do."

claps his hands together. 'Great, I'll get it all arranged, then.' He immediately flips open his laptop.

stares at the laptop. "Alright." He was amazed at how eager he was for this.

online for about half an hour before he slams the laptop shut again, and he looks very pleased with himself. 'Done.'

Jumps slightly as he shut the laptop. "W-wow, really? When are we going then?"

stands and kisses his forehead. 'Tomorrow. Do you want me to pack for you?'

shakes his head. "No, I can pack myself, love. Don't worry."

nods and kisses him once more before heading to the door 'Okay, I need to pack too. I will come pick you up tomorrow morning, alright?'

nods to him, kissing him back. "Alright. I'll be ready by then, love."
