Killing two Birds with one Stone

Alfred walked as quickly as he could to the library. He had to be there, no, he needed to be there soon, or he'll be getting an earfull from the grouchy Brit.
He burst through the double doors and sprang to the table that was farthest back of the library.
"You made me wait Alfred, again, might I add."
Alfred nodded vigorously while keeping his head down trying to catch his breath.
"I-I'm sorry, Arthur, I-"
He finally looked up towards his tutor's piercing emerald eyes
"I got held up"
He mumbled and sat on the seat across from the senior student. Arthur's eyes lingered towards Alfred's cheek which seemed to start turning a weird shade of purple. As the young freshman began reaching into his back-pack for the needed study equipments, Arthur slowly reached out and took hold of Alfred's chin to face him.
The young boy all but yelped at the sudden attention his face was receiving from the older teen. Arthur leaned forward pulling Alfred along to examine the now bruised cheek. He slowly roamed his palm from under Alfred's chin towards the swollen side of the young boy's face, running his thumb over it. Alfred flinched, and tried to pull away.
"Who did this Alfred?"
Arthur's eyes now focused on Alfred's with concern, halting the young American's actions. Alfred bit his lip and looked away
"it doesn't matter, Artie"
Arthur glared and removed his hand from the other's cheek, slamming both palms on the table, and startling Alfred in the process.
"S-sorry I mean, 'Arthur'"
the older boy sighed
"you bloody fool, I'm not angry about the insufferable nickname, how does it not matter what happens to you?!"
The librarian passed and hushed their table before leaving to stack more books in their rightful places. Arthur rolled his eyes and glared back at Alfred.
"Who did it?"
Alfred looked away again, considering telling his friend, however he shook his head
"n-no arthur, dont get involved, I'll handle it"
He sighed as he ran his hand through his wheat-blond hair
"it'll eventually pass"
"what?! 'It'll eventually pass'?! Alfred, good lord, your going to let this continue on?"
The older teen stood and forced his long sleeves up to his elbows
"now see here you imbecile, you might not care what happens to you, but I do!"
Arthur turned toward the library doors
"now when I get my hands on them, I'll give them a severe beating they'd beg me for merc- Alfred let go!"
Alfred clung to his friend trying to keep him in place.
"No! Arthur just stop!"
Arthur did just that, and turned his head slightly to the right to try look at his friend.
"Who did it Alfred?!"
Wide blue eyes turned upwards, and his arms around Arthur's waist squeezed tighter to keep his friend from going farther. Arthur's heart clenched noticing the small tears trying to escape from the blue orbs before him. He turned away and sighed. Hopefully not looking at the bruise his friend now sported on his face will calm him.
"Why won't you tell me?"
He felt the head pressed in between his shoulder blades shake.
"I don't want you getting in trouble because of me, please don't start anything artie, I'll handle it, your almost graduating and the principal said no more warnings for you, you've done great Artie. Don't ruin it because of me"
Arthur looked down at the hands clutching the front of his shirt now, his heart couldn't take this. He thought Alfred was being stupid trying to take care of everything himself, but in reality he knew Arthur would flip out and lash at the person responsible for hurting his friend. Alfred was protecting Arthur, in a weird way. Also, having Alfred in close proximity was doing wonders to his heart, body, and soul. He coughed into his fist trying to calm his nerves and keep a blush from spreading to his cheeks.
"Very well Alfred"
He brought up his hands to remove the vise grip his friend had on him and turned around grabbing the young teens fingertips with his own
"If you don't want me to do anything to that person, I wont. However, come to me if you need help"
He squeezed his friend's hands to show emphasis to his words.
​​​​​"Please"
Arthur took a quick glance at the bruise and looked back towards the two sapphire orbs before him, trying to keep the anger rising up in him to ease.
"Thanks, Art"
Alfred flashed him a smile
"he's almost graduating too anyway, he'll be gone before we know it!"
Arthur blinked, realizing the most obvious of people who it'd be. Alfred quickly realized what he did and his eyes widened
"Wha-wait Arthur you said-"
Arthur just waved his hand in front of him dismissing Alfred
"Yes, yes luv, I wont hurt the bloody fool. Although the albino bastard deserves it"
He crossed his arms and looked away deep in thought, not noticing the huge blush that spread through Alfred's face from the cute pet name. Arthur walked away still concentrating, Alfred followed him and stared at his friend's eyebrows as they continuously would crease downward then smooth out until they'd crease downwards again.
"Dude? You, okay?"
Arthur stopped walking and a devilish smile spread across his lips
"Why yes Alfred, all is well. Now come along, we must continue with your English studies"
Alfred eyed him as he passed him going towards the library. He was a little frightened by that smile, wondering if he was planning something horrifying for the studying time they had remaining. He watched Arthur walk through the library's double doors, then turned to look towards the exit of the school. He could just say he felt sick and avoid whatever horrible scheme Arthur had for their tutoring session. He sighed and turned back towards the library, he couldn't leave. His back-pack was in there and Kiku had just given him a cool game. He was screwed.

ooOoo~*next morning*~ooOoo

A loud scream was heard throughout the city, waking many of those who where at close proximity from it. At school many students talked about the yell and what on earth it could have been. There were rumors that someone seen a ghost, or that someone woke up with a corpse next to them. Most were creepy, however none true.
Gilbert walked in school with an old cap atop his head. He got stares ofcourse, and most tried to get a closer looked trying to figure out if they were seeing pink under there. Gilbert would run away and push his cap even lower in place.
Once everyone got in there homeroom class, Gilbert sat in his assigned seat which was, ofcourse, in front. Arthur passed him by and smirked as he eyed the hideous cap, pulling Alfred along with him to their seats.
As soon as the teacher walked by she stopped to stare at Gilbert's cap.
"Mr. Beilschmidt, we do not allow caps in school, please remove it."
She placed her things on her desk and waiting for the young German to follow up on the rules. Everyone heard a groan coming from the him, and Arthur nudged his friend with his elbow and nodded towards the German who was now slowly removing the cap.
Everyone burst out laughing when the cap was fully off his head. Alfred tried to hold in his laughs as he turned towards Arthur who was laughing out and holding his stomach.
"Artie!-you-didnt"
He tried saying through chuckles he tried surpressing. Arthur nodded while wiping a tear from his eye. Alfred looked back towards Gilbert and couldn't help it, he laughed a long with everyone else. Who couldn't laugh, with Gilbert sporting a clown hair dew, shaved clean through the middle and pink dyed hair on the sides. The back of Gilbert's head even had a replica of his face, winking at everyone who seen. Arthur placed a hand on Alfred's shoulder, bringing his attention back to him.
"I didn't hurt him, luv. I just, fixed his atrocious look, and now he won't ever hurt you again, when he's got other things to worry about"
He pointed at the slouching German who placed the cap back on noticing the teacher had knelt on the floor clutching her stomach as she laughed. Alfred smiled at his best friend and blushed once again at the pet name.
"Thanks Artie"
He quickly leaned forward and placed a small kiss on the British teen's cheek. Alfred turned back towards the front of the class with the brightest red cheeks Arthur has ever seen. Arthur leaned forward while everyone was distracted on Gilbert and took hold of Alfred's chin to face him. The young American stared back worried he angered his friend, however that thought quickly vanished when Arthur's lips crashed into his, surprising him on the spot. Arthur slowly pulled away giving a quick lick to Alfred's bottom lip and smirking at the red face he held in his hand. He stared at the wide Sapphire eyes who only looked at him, which made his heart swell with joy
"Don't tease me with a simple kiss to the cheek, luv"
a small nod was all Alfred was able to do as he stared into the lustfilled eyes his friend had. He gulped the mouthful of spit he didn't notice his mouth was accumulating. He closed his eyes and tried to lean forward again. Arthur chuckled and only gave a quick kiss then leaned back.
"Let me take you out to dinner, Al. It's Friday, so let it be tonight. Would you like that, poppet?"
Alfred nodded still not being able to force words to come out. Arthur chuckled and sat properly into his seat, listening to the teacher as she tried to get her class back in order, while also trying to hold in her laughes. Arthur smirked and crossed his arms. This went rather well, he made a fool of Gilbert, finally got a date with his long time crush, and especially, made sure Gilbert never laid hands on his Alfred ever again. Killed two birds with one stone.
