" Bleagh!" Alfred hurled.
Arthur sighed and tightened his coat over his body. " Alfred !" He groaned. " can't you keep it in?!"
Alfred gulped fresh air and sputtered, " I'm trying but I ca- Bleagh !!" He hurled over the deck and into the ocean. Arthur stifled a laugh. He sighed and turned his attention back to their mission.

It was already 1:00 here on the S.S MARIA ANTOINETTE. Dawn was breaking free and the night shriveled away. Montisue and Maria were scattered on the deck, oohing and awing the sights and sounds of the ocean. Alfred kept hurling what was left of his breakfast. Speaking of which-

"Bleagh!* cough cough * " Alfred sighed . " there goes my brunch.." " brunch ?" Arthur asked amused.
" it breakfast and lunch combined. It's my own new word !"
Arthur scoffed and rolled his eyes. " you and your silly American terms." Alfred  grinned sheepishly. He turned around and placed  his back and hands on the side of the ship. Arthur continued to stare straight ahead.

" Have you ever traveled sister?" Alfred asked.
" No, I haven't got the time."
Alfred sighed. " I pity you. Traveling is one of the many joys of man. Seeing the world and how it looks and runs from inside and out, that is traveling!"
" I wonder what'll Spain be like." Asked Arthur bluntly, seeming to not even be listening to Alfred at all.
" Bet it's fun, cultural, colorful. And lots of pretty women too!" Alfred grinned.
Arthur caught his breath.
Of course he thought. My incident with Francis didn't mean he likes me, even a morsel of it. His interest are still in all things fun and pretty. And that's how it should be. Yet , then- what do I feel so ..jealously is it? Because he will always get loved and I not? Or that ..I like him but he doesn't return the feelings? The again, when he kissed me the chest that day..on my chest..what was it?
" sister ? Sister Arthur are you alright?" Alfred gently shaking Arthur's shoulder. Arthur snapped back into the reality and shook his head. " nothing" he said. " That kiss didn't mean nothing!" Now he shouted. Alfred stayed still, puzzled and the other visitors that were on the main deck, looked at him in surprise and instantly began whispering.
Alfred put two and two together. " oh.." He said in realization. He looked at Arthur under his glasses. He blue eyes looking at the emerald ones. He whispered. " if you're talking about that kiss..it was a long time ago. Just forget it already. It's doesn't matter and it didn't matter."
Arthur felt a a mixture of shock and pain flown onto his facial expressions. He glared at Alfred. " Of course it doesn't matter to you! Nothing does! Don't you realize how fragile I am! I couldn't even protect myself from a man who was..on top of me!! And then you-" he pointed a finger at Alfred. " acting all mighty and nonchalant about saving me and about the stupid kiss! And then you tell to fight about Because you did! Don't think that your rank at church isn't going
Be enough when answering and telling me what to do-"
" SPAIN AHEAD! ALL PASSENGERS REPORT BELOW DECK FOR ESCORT ASSISTANCE AND LUGGAGE ASSISTANTS." Bellowed the ship's captain over the microphone. People rummaged around and made their way to their suites bellow deck, all chatting excitedly. Montisue and Maria caught up with USUK. Maria was practically bouncing and cheering.
      " Come on!!" She squealed grabbing Arthur's arm and dragging him away. Montisue caught up with Alfred. " We're here! Oh sister, just think about the food, clothes of Spain!! I want to eat a churro ! I wanna dance the Salsa ..I wanna eat salsa! Ohh ! I excited!! Especially about the men!! I bet they all have green eyes and brown hair-oh I wonder if I'll get to play soccer .." Maria rambled on and on. Arthur smiled at her and didn't scold. What would be the long in that?
If he couldn't be happy on this trip..someone had to be.
