Forever and Always is Complicated (UsUk Fanfiction)

Chapter Nine

Arthur's POV

It'd been about three days since Alfred had come to London and I can just tell he's missing New York. He just doesn't fit in here, in London, and he's running out of pounds so he's borrowing my bloody money. But most of the time it's because he takes me shopping so I guess we're okay.

At the moment Alfred had disappeared some place and I was left doing the dishes in my kitchen. My mum walks into the kitchen and sits down at the dinning room table, smiling.

"Hello Mother," I nod, turning off the faucet and sitting myself next to her.

"Hello Dear," she spoke, continuing to smile.
"Mother why are you smiling at me like that? It's rather eerie."
"I'm sorry, just... You and Alfred are so cute together!"

I stiffened, blushing creeping into my face. "O-Oh.."

She fluffed my hair and gave a small laugh, "He's your forever you know?"

I nodded slightly, "I have a feeling he is too."
"Do you miss him right now?"
"He's only been gone for mere moments..?"
"Do you miss him?"
"He...I'd be better if he was here."
"Mhm, just what I thought."
"What?"

She pursed her lips, they parted into a smile again. "You're incredibly in love Arthur, you know this correct?"

The blush became darker, I laughed. "Yes, I know I am in love. What's the point of all this smack?"

"If you love him..be with him."

"But I already am with him Mum.."

Now the woman was off her rocker, she's a loon once again.

"No, honey if you love him, you guys should move in together!"

My heart had momentarily stopped, I stared at her. "Mum we just got back together, why would we rush things..?"

"You were together for years before, gosh Arthur."

I thought for a moment, I wanted to but I was just afraid...
Afraid of those moments..

"WHY DID I EVER ASK YOU TO MOVE IN WITH ME?!"

Those... Heartbreaking moments where you hear the truth...

"WELL ALFRED, I DIDN'T WANT TO DATE YOU TO BEGIN WITH! YOU'RE JUST A NARCISSISTIC DIMWITTED BRAT WHO'S WASTED MY TIME FOR YEARS."

I shuddered, "I have to talk to Alfred. He might not want me to move back in with him again.."

She gave the biggest 'Are you kidding me you idiot' look ever. Ouch mum, ouch.

"Clearly he does want you to move back in with him. He wants you two to really be a couple again, not just this fluff!"

"Mum I don't know... Wait, how would you know?"

She perked up and pressed her lips together, resting her head on her hand, making a 'hm' noise. Clearly she had been waiting for me to say that.
"Because Alfred told me so,"
"He did not."
"He did though, so shush. Go move in with Alfre-"

"HEY GUYS I'M HOMEEE."

"Speak of Satan," I murmured, my mum smacking the top of my hand. I yelped.

"Hello Alfred," I muttered, he smiled, waltzing over to me, kissing me quickly before flashing a charming smile to my mother.
"Elizabeth," he dipped his head politely, before turning back to me. "Bro you're not gonna believe what happened to me."

"...So like... The guy's name was Wesley, and he kept talking to me about you! Like.. It was fricking weird dude, he even said you too dated for God's Sake... Psh, dude must've been mental."

I gulped, nodding my head. Alfred stared at me awkwardly, removing my head from his lap. "You guys didn't date did you?"

I looked at the window awkwardly, still not saying a word.
"Arthur? Did you date someone while we weren't together?"

"Oh and you didn't huh? Well I'm sorry I had to move on one way or another! I thought you were completely gone from my life! So I tried to date someone else... It didn't work well.." I snapped, rubbing the place on my face where Wesley had struck me at the end of our so called relationship.

Alfred opened his mouth as to say something but nothing had come out, he closed his jaw again, thinking of what to say.
"Arthur, I didn't date or go on a one date thing or have any flings with anyone or anything after we broke up."

Ouch. Gotta make me feel bad huh?
"O-Oh.. That's uh.. That's nice of you."

Alfred's POV

Arthur dated other people after me? Meaning... He moved on? Did he even care?

Arthur tried keeping the conversation going but I just responded with little 'hm's or little 'uh huh's. He glared at me lightly and laid his head back on my lap, I didn't want any touch or anything but he proceeded to anyways.

"Alfieeeee," he whined, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Hm?"

Told ya so.

"You aren't talking to me, what did I do?"

Be nice be nice be nice.

"No reason, you didn't do anything. I'm just...deep in thought."

"But you never do that unless I did something, now please explain what I did please?"

I took a sharp intake of breath, looking down at Arthur. "You moved on. You didn't care about us anymore did you? You just went on to date some other guy and forget about me? I thought I was important back then. I love you Arthur..I fucking adored you then too. You probably let him touch you like I used to. You probably screamed out his name like you used to with me."

Arthur got off me again and stared at me in horror and sadness. "Alfred...I moved on but it was for the greater good. I still missed you so much! I never forgot about anything we had," he brought himself up and rested his forehead on mine. Our breathes were synchronized, his hand moved up to cup my cheek, I moved my head away. "Alfred. I dated him because I wanted to...I needed some form of therapy, I was falling apart without you. I was drinking myself into an early grave Alfred.. I drank at least two thirds of a bottle of rum or whiskey a night.. I was breaking and I needed something or someone to...lift me up again.. I never had sex with him though! I was... Well I was sort of waiting for the day you'd come back.. So I wanted to save myself for you. Because I love you! And he doesn't matter anymore anyway. He's out of my life now, he hit me therefore he can rot in hell. And plus, you're with me again. So there's no need to worry, I love you and only will I love you."

I tried so hard to remain stone faced, but I couldn't help but smile at a little blushing Arthur. I kissed him without warning, he loosing his balance and falling on the bed, I was now on top. He laughed as I went in to kiss him again, trailing down to leave kisses on his neck. He moaned quietly, raking his hand through my hair again. I pulled away from his neck and pulled off his shirt. He moaned a bit louder as I left lovebites and little kisses on his chest, he still putting his hands through his hair.
I went back up and kissed his as passionately as I could give, missing every moment like this we'd ever had.

"A-Alfred..." He called out in between kisses, I smiled, kissing at his jawline. "Yes my love?" I smirked, looking into his eyes. He cupped my cheek, this time his hand staying there, "I love you.." He breathed out, I kissed him once more before resting my head on his chest.

"Arthur... Move in with me would you?"
"What?" He choked, coughing a bit, looking down at me.
"Please? Move back to New York with me? I love you and I want you to be with me at all times... Please? Please? Please!"

Arthur chuckled a bit before nodding, "Yes Alfred, I'll move in with you."

"Can we move back to New York soon?"
He chuckled a bit more, "Yes, we can."
"How soon?"
"Soon...Soon.."
"My bed's lonely without you Arthur~"

"Shut up..." He blushed, a smile visible on his face, causing me to smile back.
"Oh but I think it's happy actually. It always creaked so bad when you were there.."
"Stop! Alfred!"
"Yeah... You screamed that too..."
"I hate you," Arthur pushed me off his chest, laughing.
"No you don't.." I smiled, he ruffled my hair.
"I know."
