laughs to himself. "You have hiccups?"

almost punches him and instead just shoves him since he is his love after all. 'No.' He covers his mouth as another hiccup escapes him.

stumbles a little and laughs. "You do!" He smiled. "That must suck."

walks away from him, face fiery red in embarrassment. 'Shut hic up...'

comes and jumps him from behind, hoping to scare him. "But it's cute."

does get a fright and he quickly moves his arms back and holds him to stop him falling off. 'It's not cute!' he insists, still looking_

shamefully furious.

glad that he scared him slightly. "I think it's adorable, and it happens to all of us, love."

nervously touching his throat. Maybe Arthur did (admittedly) help him get rid of them, but that still didn't help his oddly bruised ego._

'Yeah, well, I don't. It'd be cute on you, but...' His throat made a small, high pitched hic sound and he covers his face with a hand._

'Feck, this is horrible.' He especially didn't want Arthur hearing this.'

laughs quietly, kissing his neck lightly. "No it's not.. It happens all the time, it's a muscle spasm we can't control."

'But I'm always supposed to be in control-!' He whines a little. He stops walking and pulls Arthur around from his back and holds him so_

they are facing each other. Still avoiding Arthur;s eyes, he says 'I don't want you thinking I'm not capable.'

looks up at him, putting his arms around his neck. "Declan, I think you are plenty capable. I would never think otherwise. So don't think

like that.. And look at me." He said quietly.

, stubbornly, takes his time before glancing his eyes up to him. 'I look stupid when I make those noises, though. It's normally you making_

me think you're adorable, not the other way round.'

kisses him lightly. "Idiot.. That doesn't matter. I think you look handsome no matter what. Okay?" He ignored the adorable comment.

looks a little less miserable at that. 'The most...handsome nation in the world?' He asks, as if he doesn't care.

nods. "The most handsome man in the world as well." There were a lot more men than there were nations after all.

notices his hiccups have stopped during his wallowing, and then he smiles wider. He takes hold of Arthur's head and presses a kiss onto his_

lips. 'Stop knowing what to say, Art'r...' He chuckles.

kisses him back. "But if I did that... You would just wallow in self pity all the time, and I wouldn't want that, yes?"

about it. 'I'd hope not. And I would not wallow. Folk like me dabble, not wallow.' He laughs.

shakes his head. "No... You wallow, especially if I ignore you, love."

takes his chin in one hand, and points at him semi-seriously with the other. 'And you know never to do that, right?'

huffs out his cheek slightly. "Never." Only when drunk.. And he often didn't remember those times.

'Good. Then we'll live a long and happy life together, like a fairy tale only less ball gowns, more sex.' He kisses his huffed out cheeks.

blushes and starts to laugh a little bit. "You're such a pig."

looks insulted. 'Pigs have no place in fairy tales, Art'r!'

hums slightly. "Then how about a frog? Then you can become my prince." He thought Declan would like that better.

does. 'So, I had a spell put on me by an evil witch or wizard - say, Austria, and then you come along and kiss me back into my amazing self?

nods to him. "Yes, but I would say Romania over Austria." He joked slightly.

cracks a smile. 'Romania it is. Does that mean I get to take you home to my caste abode on a white horse?'

nods to him once more. "If you feel the need. though I draw the line at wearing any sort of dress." Not like he hadn't worn one before.

chuckles. 'What is your stance on sexy underwear?' He wriggles his eyebrows.

hadn't thought of that. "What kind of underwear are you thinking of?"

hums, fingers tapping Arthur's rear. 'Hmm I don't know. Perhaps ones with holes in certain critical areas. Or lickable ones-oh! Don't they_

have edible ones now?'

tenses a little bit but looks back at Declan's hand slightly. "Well.. Yes, there are edible ones now."

grins. 'We should buy some.'

flushes. "What if you bite me?!" Yes that was where his mind went.

's eyes flash. 'What's the problem there?' He licks his lips.

nods. "That could be more pain than I'm willing to be in!" He paled realizing how that sounded.

's smirk has never been so wide. 'Is that so? What if I made the pain a pleasurable one?'

blushes and sputters. "I-I didn't mean that I never said anything about liking bloody pain!"

plays with Arthur's bottom lip. 'Okay, okay, if you won't admit it, why don't I promise to be extra special careful around it?'

bites his lip slightly. "... Fine. But you had better be careful."

cheers. 'Great! Now....where would I find these underwear pieces?'

blushes at that. "Probably in a bloody sex shop you twit." He only spoke like that from embarrassment.

slaps the back of his head but otherwise doesn't react. 'Hmm good thinking. I think we should go together.'

makes a sound of pain. "Don't hit!" He frowned and shook his head. "I don't want to go, go by yourself."

shakes his head. 'One guy going in to a sex shop - creepy and disgusting. Two guys going into a sex shop - erotic.'

sighs quietly. "But that's still embarrassing!"

'But it's shared, and sharing is nice, eh Art'r?' He grins and takes his hand.

frowns. "But you have no shame."

pokes Arthur's nose gently. 'True, so that means I can carry more of yours.'

makes a face, and sound. "You bloody liar..." He didn't know why he was arguing. "You're not going to stop until I agree, aren't you?"

smiles sweetly at him. 'It's like you know me inside and out.'

rolls his eyes. "That's what happens when you know someone for a very long time." He sighed. "Fine.. Let's go."

leads them (a little too knowingly) to a nearby sex shop. When the girl at the door welcomes him by name, he flushes.

looks at Declan raising an eyebrow. "Coming in alone is creepy, hm?" He shook his head quietly.

coughs and rubs his neck, ignoring him. 'A-ah! Over here!' He takes them to the area called the 'Kinky Section'.

blushes as he was dragged over, he avoided these places if he could! His eyes caught some boots, those were nice.. He looked at the section

next. "Oh bloody hell, why did I agree to this..."

holds up a box of candy underwear. 'This is a small, you're a small, aren't you? Let me get one out and we can try it on you.' He begins_

opening the box.

sputters and pretty much freaks out. "Y-yes I'm a small! I don't need to try it on!"

looks at him and then nods. Then he grabs three boxes worth. 'Maybe we should get more stuff? Y'know, while we're here?'

makes a face. "L-like what would you suggest?"

stares at him. 'Handcuffs?'

"Are those really needed?" He asked just from the shock, but he might not mind those..

shrugs. 'My old ones are broken now.' He grabs a pair off the shelf.

stares at him. "Old ones? Why did you have ones before?"

coughs loudly again and heads to the check out. He makes a long, non-committal sound as he pulls out his wallet. 'If you want anything_

else, grab it.'

looks around and quickly grabs a bottle of lube. "Um.. This.."

would tease him, but it actually was a sensible thought. He nods and shamelessly pays for it all. 'This was a good haul.'

would smack him if he teased! He was the one that was entered and it hurt!

's hand, as if sensing that thought, protectively holds Arthur's arse.

blushes at that. "Get you hand off my arse."

takes away his hand, but looks like he isn't happy about it.

rolls his eyes. "We're in public. Be decent."

eyes him up. 'We're also in a sex shop. I think here we don't need to be decent.'

blushes more. "You pulled me here, so I would like to try and be some what decent.."

takes his hand 'Is this acceptable?' He asks, half mocking.

blinks and stares at him. "Yes, it is."

nods and picks up their shopping with his other hand before leading them out the shop proudly. 'Good.'

isn't as proud to be seen walking from a sex shop.. He looked at the ground blushing quietly.
