what Arthur is doing with that piece of paper. 'Is that a list?'

folds the paper, tucking it away. "Yes."

tries to see it before it is tucked away. 'What kind of list?'

tucked it away quickly. "Just a list."

paws at his pocket. 'A shopping list? A top ten list? Am I on it?'

pushes his hand away. "A shopping list. And stop that."

believes him. 'You might want to add eggs and bread to it, I finished up your stock this morning.' He smiles sheepishly.

nods. "That list is on the fridge, Declan." He then realized something. "There were at least 4 eggs in the pack!"

'oh's and then nods, cheeks red. 'Yeah, I made a lot of French toast. There might be some left for you. Not a lot, though...'

nods to him. "Alright, thank you very much." He was quiet for a moment. "What are some things that you want for Christmas?"

scribbling 'Eggs' and 'Bread' onto the list on the fridge. 'Christmas? That's a while off. I don't know.' He says, not really thinking_

much about it. 'Probably some tablet from Scotland, woollen jumper from Wales, wine from France, a manga with us as characters from Japan..'

nods to him. "Okay. What kind of tablet?" He was not going to comment on the manga thing.

smiles, mouth watering at the thought. 'The traditional kind. Maybe with some vanilla essence through it.'

(Okay, I understand now~ So ignore that comment)

((Sorry! I thought you were asking what flavour!))

(I could put it at that then.. I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by Tablet, in Canada we call that kind of thing fudge. xD That's all)

((Haha we have fudge too, I don't know how to describe the difference though...Basically, to us, fudge is good, tablet is AMAZING! I'll_

make some and send it to you! Although my batches are hit and miss. You leave it just a couple of minutes too long it turns into fudge...))

((I would love to try some! oAo But okay, I understand the difference now!

))

had to make a mental note of the wool jumper, he would be sure to talk to Wales and the others.

looks around to him. 'Why the Christmas questions? Fishing for info on your own gift?'

raises an eyebrow. "No, I'm just making a list."

jumps up. 'Was that a Christmas list, Art'r?'

"Maybe.."

grins and reaches for his pocket. 'Let me see, then!'

smacks his hand. "Bugger off!"

'Ouch!' He frowns and folds his arms. 'Why?'

sighs quietly. "Because, it has some ideas for you on it already."

looks even more excited and goes for the list again. 'Okay, now you have to let me see!'

smacks his hand away. "No. Piss off!"

'C'mon, what if you're going to get me something I don't want?' He doubts it, but he was curious!

shakes his head. "I wont. You just have to wait."

folds his arms. 'Fine, then I won't tell you what your present is!'

looks at him for a moment. "W-well.. I don't really care."

'Fine!' frowning, he turns away and goes to sit on the couch.

cringes slightly at that childish reaction. He got up to follow him. "Declan..."

'Art'r.' He says, just as childishly as he sits down and looks away from him pointedly.

comes and sits in his lap, leaning his head against his chest. "What's the matter?"

would normally shove him off in his mood, but it was Arthur so he ended up wrapping his arms around him stubbornly. 'You are keeping_

secrets from me.'

puts his arms around Declan's neck, playing with the bottom of his hair lightly. "Love.. Christmas is supposed to be a secret.. It's the

only thing I would keep from you.. Only because I want to see your face come Christmas day."

tries to not smile when he finds the hair-playing ticklish. 'Well...will you at least tell me what you're getting Wales and Scotland?'

leans their foreheads together. "I don't know really.. Not yet anyway. That's why I'm making a list now."

pulls him in more and touches noses. 'Well, at least tell me when you have ideas. Don't want to get them the same as you.'

nods slightly. "You'll be the very first to know. I promise."

sorely tempted to reach in and grab the list-! But he doesn't, and just smiles at him. 'Hmm okay..'

would hurt him for that. "Good... so you're not mad at me?"

hums and pouts as he looks directly down at Arthur's lips. 'Not too mad that you can't make it up to me' His voice obviously not mad at all.

smiles a little, he noticed where his eyes had went. "Oh? Then what should I do?" He kissed him lightly.

smirks. 'I haven't had an ego massage in a while. Why not wash away the hurt by replacing it with compliments? Compliments about my bedroon_

talents will get you bonus points.'

hums slightly, running his hand down his chest lightly. "Bedroom talent?" He hummed like he didn't have anything to say. "Well.. There is

the obvious things, how great of a top you are. Even your little kinks." He shifted a little, purposely grinding against him lightly. "How

big you are.." He hummed for a moment. "You're just too good to me, and much too good to describe."

's eyes close briefly as he enjoys the teasingly soft grinding motions. He particularly enjoyed the 'big' comment, and felt a swell of_

pride. He chuckles and dips his head a little to nibble on Arthur's bottom lip. 'Consider my ego thoroughly massaged. Glad to know you_

seem to think I'm good enough for you.' He meant it. They had been together a while and yet occasionally he couldn't help but worry Arthur_

felt let down by him. 'Would you like me to return the favour?'

looks at him, smiling a little. "What do you have in mind, love?"

takes Arthur's hands in his and pulls him gently towards the couch. He sits him down and then moves behind the couch and leans down to kiss_

just beneath Arthur's ear and his hands begin to rub at his shoulders. 'I'll give you a proper rub down, and you can just close your eyes_

and enjoy.'

sits on the couch, he looked at and watched the other until he was behind the couch. "What are yo-ah." He gasped at the kiss, but shifted

a little under his hands, sighing at the pleasant feeling. "But.. Ah.. Okay.." He wouldn't say no to a massage, this was awesome.

pats his head. 'Good Art'r.' He smiles, knowing his voice was a little patronizing. He thoroughly rubs at his shoulder blades and gradually_

makes his way down his back, pushing his thumbs gently in to work the knotted muscle. 'Hmm, maybe it would be best if I had you on your_

front...'

made a slight face at the tone he used, but he was happily letting him rub him down, though he hissed at the knot. "W-would it be better?"

nods, and uses his grip to ease Arthur down onto the cushion. He then climbs over the couch and settles himself on Arthur's rump.

makes no fuss as he was laid down, he did blush as Declan sat on him. "Should I pull off my shirt?" He wondered if that would be easier.

hums. 'Yeah. And that response is in no way related to how much I love seeing you topless.' He grins and kisses the back of his neck.

shivers at the kiss, and shifts to begin pulling up his shirt to pull it off. "There." He balled it up under his head like a pillow.

'Thank you, baby.' He says, and his hands get back to work. 'You're skin is so soft and smooth.' He comments. He uses his palms to give_

circular motions on the small of his back.

breathes out quietly, sighing contently. "Thank you.." He did take good care of his skin.

carries on in silence for a few minutes, getting Arthur into a state so relaxed he would take a few moments to realise Declan was running_

the tip of his tongue right down the centre of his back, following his spine, right to the start of his trousers.

hadn't fully realized he had started to run his tongue on his back when he did he gasped sharply and arched his back. "A-ah..!"

laughs, tongue still out. He goes all the way up his back again and kisses at his shoulders before leaning around and kissing Arthur's lips.

shivered a little more, he kissed him back. "W-why d-did you do that?"

'To make you squirm, like why I do most things to you.' He smiles and starts to softly bite on his upper back.

gasps, and makes small sounds as he shifted and squirmed. "Y-you're so m-mean..!"

'But you're so cute..!' He says in a similar manner. 'I can't help myself.' he lets out a voiced gasp. The squirming wasn't going unnoticed.

blushes and turns to slightly look at him. "Why did you gasp?"

looking down at where their waists meet. '...No reason...' He says, flushing.

blinks and thinks that over. "I-it's because I'm moving, isn't it?"

Uh, I won't lie. It could be a factor.' He isn't complaining, though, but he thinks Arthur might just think he's constantly horney for him.

"I'll try not to move then..." He didn't think Declan was constantly horny, but he knew he could turn Declan on easily.

well aware of that fact too. How he got away with it all those years that Arthur didn't suspect him, he'll never know! 'N-no it's okay. It_

just might turn out to be more of a...erotic massage in that case.' He pushes his hand in his pants and 'fixes' himself to hide any sign_

of his attention.

raises an eyebrow but lays his head back down, not seeing Declan's little adjustment. "Um... Alright then.."

grows excited, thinking he could maybe get away with it if he's careful. He becomes more firm with his rubbing in the hopes of getting a_

tantalizing vocal response from him.

makes a small sound of pain, he shifted a little and breathed out a pleasant sigh, almost moaning from the firmness.

listens to every single sound and enjoys it, savours it. Careful to move his hips up and out the way, he leans down and sucks gently on his_

ear lobe as his hands slide down and work on the flesh between his arse and the small of his back.

gasps and arches his back, letting out a moan.

unwittingly growls in his ear from hearing the moan, and his hands slide under his waist band to begin their work on his rear. He loved the_

feel of him, and found it impossible to move back now. 'I love you.'

shivers from the growl, goosebumps raising on his skin. "I love you too." He shifted and made another sound feeling his hand.

eyes a patch of skin on his neck and begins kissing it as his hands work away. Before he knows it himself, he is sucking and biting on him_

creating a dark hickey.

gasps and moans under him, shifting and writing from the feeling as shivers ran down his spine.

writhing**

licks at the mark. His hands push under their bodies and come across Arthur's chest. He plays with his nipples.

gasps and tenses slightly. "W-what a-are you doing?"

buries his face in his neck. 'You have front muscles needing rubbed..'

nods a little. "Ah.. Alright then.."

pinches his nipples, smirking a little. 'Got to get that blood pumping.'

makes a sound, lifting his chest slightly. "A-ah.."

hums. 'S'this okay?' He pulls and tugs on him.

leans his head back slightly, he moaned a little, giving a nod after.

'Turn yourself over.' He whispers in his ear before leaning up to give him room.

nods to him, he sat up slightly, turning around to lay on his back.

lets him settle before replacing his tugging fingers with his mouth. He swirls his tongue around the now firm hard skin.

closes his eyes, biting back a groan as he arched his chest a little.

holds Arthur's middle up higher for himself, and his tongue runs down to his belly button and then to his waistline. He moans in complaint_

when he can't go further.

groans this time, raising his hips into the tongue, he added to the moan of complaint as well. "W-what are you waiting for?"

bites his bottom lip. 'There's clothes in the way.' He says pathetically.

makes a sound of annoyance. "Since when has that stopped you?"

'It doesn't normally...but you must be sick of my always undressing you..'

"You don't know me very well then, Declan." He rolled his hips up against him before reaching down to his trousers.

growls and let him reach his trousers as he kisses him deeply.

groans a little against his mouth, as he pulled his belt open and undid his button and fly.
