~Alfred's PoV~

I wait patiently for Arthur. I ushered Kiku out, probably to stay with Heracles. I soon hear a knock on the door and know that it's Arthur. I open it and see a pizza delivery man.

Oh yeah, I got hungry while waiting.

I give the guy a tip while taking the pizza and thanking him. Behind the man I see Arthur who raises one of his bushy eyebrows.

"Really?"

He says, more than asks, as he gestures to the pizza in my hand. I take a slice out and bite into it.

"What?"

I ask, feeling like I'm being accused. It came out a bit muffled due to the fact that I stuffed pizza in my mouth. Arthur rolls his gorgeous green orbs and pushes past me into my apartment. I'm used to his rudeness so this doesn't faze me. We do our usual thing, him tutoring me, me getting confused at every word he says, I notice him checking me out but pretend I'm too dumb to notice. Nothing new. This went on for the usual time that we normally go on for.

"Rightio, that's it really."

Arthur says, flopping back into his chair. I look at him.

"You know we have an extra hour? I promised you."

I tell him.

"Oh yeah. Meh, you can rest."

He says, totally out of his character.

"Dude, you've been spending too much time with me."

I joke. He looks at me and smirks.

"Maybe I could spend more time with you."

He winks. I could tell her was joking, though. I sigh.

"Waaaayy too much time with me."

I add, laughing slightly. Arthur chuckles a bit too.

"I couldn't imagine spending time with a dirty slob like you."  

He says, sitting up and eating another slice of pizza.

"Well, you sure aren't thinking about how much weight you're gaining."

I say, taking another slice myself. Arthur instantly looks down to his stomach and I laugh.

"What?!"

He asks.

"Nothing. You're just so concerned about gaining weight. You're as skinny as a twig."

I reply.

"You say 'nothing' but then answer anyway? And if I was 'as skinny as a twig' then I would be anorexic."

He replies.

"Yeah, you still have some of yourself in you."

I laugh. He smiles while taking a bite of his pizza.

"So, wadya wanna do next?"

He asks. I sigh and flop back on the chair, still eating the pizza.

"Dunno."

I sigh. Arthur smiles.

"What?"

I asks, instantly wiping my face with my hand in case I had something on my face.

"Is there something on my face?"

I ask. Arthur shakes his head.

"You really are that allergic to work?"
