Yes my OTP is FrUK, no that doesn't mean I don't like UsUk. Deal with it guys. I particularly don't want any hate from you, Clover!

The first thing you must know about my friend Arthur, is that he's an absolute jerk most of the time. But I don't really mind, it took me a few years to realise that that's the way he shows affection and I think I finally got my head around it. The second thing you need to know is that he has eyebrows like a mutant and cooking skills like a stone. No, wait, if you heat a stone up enough it can fry stuff like eggs and pancakes and bacon, so he's worse than a stone. Don't tell him I said that though cuz he gets, like, super emotional and stressed about it. The last and most important thing you need to know was that about six years ago he was involved in a car crash that damaged his memory, he just wakes up some days and forgets things. And by things I mean little things like lesson home works and where he put his books all the way to who he is... And who I am. He's only done it once but it still shakes me up somedays. I guess that's how me and him started, by the way I'm Alfred! And I guess I'm Arthur's hero!

"Hey Artie! Wait up!" I called to my friend as I ran down the hall of my college. Me and Arthur are roomies, we bunk in the same apartment and it's pretty cool. But today was different. He woke up and ate breakfast with me at Denny's like we always did; we talked and he threw a tantrum about how thick I was in the head like every other day but now he was acting different. He turned around to look at me and frowned slightly, tilting his head.

"Huh?" He asked as I came closer. I skidded to a stop next to him and shouted enthusiastically. "Dude, are free this lunch? Denny's totally got this knew menu up, like, 5 minutes ago!" He frowned more and made a little disgusted face at me. "What? No, I don't-" I cut him off halfway through. "Oh, do you wanna go to somewhere else?" He took a half step back and glared at me. "No! Do I even know you!?" He spat. A huge thump ripped through my chest and I furrowed my eyebrows a little. "Of.. Of course you do, I'm Alfred, we share a room together." Panic raised I'm my head and burned through my wrists as I stared into Arthur's eyes. He stared right back in confusion. "I have a roommate..?" He processed slowly. It was just a wait now, it would come back to him soon. A flash of recognition passed through is iris' as his mouth moved slowly, no sounds coming out. "...Alfred f. Jones?"

"Arthur it's fine, I'm fine!" We were back at the apartment now, after I pulled Arthur to the side and tried to remind him who I was he broke down into floods of tears. I walked him back to our room quickly and sat him down on my bed. That's where we got up to.

"No it's not! How could I do that, how could I!?" He sobbed into my chest loudly, both of us clutching to each other, me rocking him back and forth. We had been close friends for a while now, so we were both comfortable touching each other like this. I ran my hand through his messy blonde hair soothingly and shook my head. "Artie, please, you know it's not your fault! Please calm down." My heart beat so fast and my face burned so much, I wanted to scream my feelings out but now was most defiantly not the time. It took him a while to finally stop crying into me. I'm not sure when it was exactly but we had both laid back lying down in each others arms. Arthur was still sniffing every now and again but we were both peaceful like this. I though Arthur had fallen asleep so I began talking to him. I usually did talk to him when I couldn't sleep at night; I'd get up and sit on the end of his bed and hold a one sided conversation until I was sleepy and went back to my own bed.

"You know, one day I'm gonna tell you how I like you. I'll just strut right into class and announce how I'm totally head over heels about you. And maybe you'd say how you like me back, we'd be more then friends like I've always wanted. The hero would finally get his girl, well in our case boy, and it would be one of those happily ever after stories. That'd be okay with you, right?" I sighed when he didn't reply as he wouldn't have heard me anyway, but thankfully that day was a good day for me.

"I would like that very much, Alfred." He whispered and opened his eyes to look at me. I was slightly taken aback by this of course since I didn't know he was listening and my face burst out into a bright pink colour. I stuttered around a bit and attempted to pull away but I was stopped by Arthur's soft lips against my own. We kissed with our mouthes closed for a while, moving them back and forth, but it wasnt enough for me. i slid my tongue across the crack in his mouth and he complied by opening it for me. For our first kiss together it went quite well, I know I was loving it! But our story hasn't quite finished yet. I would appreciate it if you stayed to listen a little while longer.

After that, me and Arthur were a couple. We went out together for lunch like usual, but this time we met and parted ways with a kiss. We had dinner out at resteraunts sometimes, I had to get all fancied up in a suit to go to those. Arthur said he'd always loved it when I wore a suit and tie, he said it made me look grown up and handsome. In our apartment we decided to get rid off the table between our beds and instead push them together to make a king bed, we slept together now and it was a lot like having a giant warm teddy bear. You could say everything was wonderful, well to me it was always wonderful before and even know, but Arthur got sicker. He forgot more and more as he woke up each morning, some of the memories he lost I couldn't get back for him. He thought Kiku was a new student and asked me "who is that new Japanese boy that's in our natural sciences classes?" Kiku had to go home and cry from shock as Arthur apologised for not knowing who he was... And permanently forgetting who he had been to him. He never forgot me again, he always knew it was me when he woke up. That was good for me. But as I said, he was getting sicker. The doctor had to come around more often, he was getting more and more tired each day, getting slower and talking and thinking with long pauses. His head injury was worse then they initially thought apparently, his brain was slowly shutting itself down.

"Artie, you wanna cup of tea?" I asked as I looked up from my homework. I couldn't joke around with coffee or slushies anymore, cause he said yes to all off them as he didn't know he didn't like them.

"Yes....please...Yes please Alfred." He sighed as he stared out of the window blankly. I did a lot of things for him now, but it was worth it. He was worth it. I cleaned and cooked and did my homework, while also keeping one eye on Arthur. He did stupid things, he bumped into doors and fell over a lot. His brain was an even more big of a problem then just plain forgetting stuff. Without it working properly it couldn't tell his body to do the things it should; his legs gave out at random moments, his hands stopped moving, his eyes fell closed a lot. I was scared. Terrified out of my mind. Everyone knew it way before the doctors even told me, that Arthur was terminal with this now. I refuse to let them take him to hospital and let his last moments be in a white walled room with strangers poking and prodding him. No way..

"Alfred..?" "Yes, Artie?" "I love you...love you so much.." "I know, you've told me a million times now." "Alfred..?" "Yes, Artie?" "Why are you...why are you crying?" "Because I'm so happy we're together." "Alfred...?" "Yes, Artie?" "I love you... I won't ever forget you..ever.." "I won't forget you either. I love you, Artie." "Alfred..?" "Yes, Artie?" "Thank you.. Bye bye, Alfred." "No, not bye bye. It's just see you later. Bye bye is for when we'll never see each other again. You don't want that now do you?" "No..no way..see you later..." "See you later, Artie." "Alfred..?" "Yes, Artie?" "I love you so much..." "I know."
