Unmei (AlanxEric Kuroshitsuji Fanfic)

Chapter 8: Sharing Laughs

*Eric's POV*

Alan's eyes began to drift shut. Before he could slip away, I called him over. His eyelashes fluttered as he grinned and snuggled into the crook of my neck. He set his hand on my chest, as I held his waist.

"Goodnight, my little flower... I love you..." Alan smiled against my skin, then reached up to plant a sweet kiss on my jaw.

"Goodnight, Eric... I love you, too..."

As soon as he replied, Alan descended into a deep sleep. I felt his slow and even breaths on my neck, and watched as his chest rose and fell. Smiling, I rested my chin on Alan's head and let slumber take its course.

I woke to a beam of sunlight shining into my eyes, partially blinding me. It took a moment for my body to process being awake. When it did, I found myself still in Alan's bed, except I was alone. I turned over, checking to see if Alan was there. He wasn't. I returned to my side and glanced at the digital clock on the night stand. It read 9:20 AM. Whoa, good thing we don't have classes this weekend... I thought. I then peeled the sheets off, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. I stood and made my way into the living room. Alan sat at the counter, still in his pajamas. He was surrounded by school books and papers. In his hand, was a ball point pen, in which he was writing furiously with. His gaze flickered from book to paper, then back to the book again.

I crept up behind him, snaking my arms around his waist. "Whatcha doing~?" I rested my chin on his shoulder, earning a giggle from Alan. "Finishing an essay." He paused to scribble some more then continued, "And I'm just about..." Another pause as he plopped a period onto the end of his sentence. He then gathered up a few more papers and used a paperclip to hold them together. He smiled proudly at his finished work, then set it down, clapping his hands together. He sighed into his words, "Finished!"

I laughed, "You're such a dork~" Alan turned to face me, pouting, and I kissed his nose. He giggled, then leaned back, inspecting me. "Nice bed head, sleeping beauty," He joked. I laughed, replying with, "I try to look my best, you know." He chuckled again, then took my hand and pulled me closer. He sat on a stool, which made him a bit taller than usual. I gazed at him as he reached up and began smoothing out my hair. Apparently, it stuck out in every direction, because he had to maneuver to reach certain parts. When he finished, he ran his fingers through my hair, swiping it out of my eyes. "Better..." He grinned.

I pulled away, then began performing multiple model poses. I'm sure I looked insanely silly, and as a result, Alan cracked up laughing. He held his stomach, his eyes becoming squinty. Hearing him laugh, only made me start. His voice sounded like tiny bells, my ears being the only ones able to hear their beautiful ring. Once Alan calmed down, he came over to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. He looked up, giggling, "Whose the dork now~?"

I laughed out loud, glad I could humor Alan! "So I was thinking..." Alan started, trailing his fingers up my arm. He brought them up to my neck, cradling the back of it. "...Since we have off today..." A smirk grew on his face as he stretched up to give me a very passionate kiss. Our lips collided, as I let him dominate. He suddenly pulled back, "Wanna take a walk?" He smiled innocently, as I realized that he was purposely trying to lead me off. I laughed and pouted, "Aw, you got me excited."

He giggled, blushing pink. Holding his arms across his chest, attempting to hide, he said, "Really?" His eyebrows arched upwards, as if trying to believe what said. "Yeah... It's too bad, I thought you were being incredibly sexy~" I gave my best smirk, as I watched Alan's cheeks burn bright red. "O-Oh...!" He chuckled nervously, a smile playing out on his lips.

I laughed, giving a toothy grin, then asked, "So, how about that walk?"
