Arthur swayed his hips, singing as he cleaned the kitchen. He wiped out the stains off of the kitchen table. His ring shined in his left hand as the sun light illuminated it.
"Ohh, I do I do I do I dooo! Hey! Ohh, I do I do I do I dooo! Boy you got me-" This reminded him of their wedding. Oh, it was a magical day. Though, both of them were nervous as hell, but nervousness belonged to weddings, right? All their friends had been there, same with Arthur's family. The wedding night, though... He blushed. The morning was simply hell.
He claimed that he didn't like Hamilton or when Alfred sang it, or cried when a sad song came. But, he almost knew how to sing all the songs, and all because of listening Alfred.
"Helpless! Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!"
Oh, his husband's eyes were so beautiful, blue like a sky or an ocean. Arthur once saw flowers, which were sold by a boy named Davie. The color of the flowers were just as blue as Alfred's eyes. Truth to be told, the bigger male bought dozen of them to his boyfriend.
"Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em." He turned around and put the rag in the sink. That's true. Sometimes he truly felt like he was in Alfred's eyes.
"I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. We were at revel with some rebels on a hot night. Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling in the room. Then you walked in and my heart went 'Boom!' Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom. Everybody's dancin' and band's top volume." Arthur recalled the day when they met each other. He was with my brothers in our company's Christmas party, and Alfred was a newbie there. He had came with his friends, Gilbert, Antonio and that frog, Francis. When Arthur saw Alfred for the first time, his heart melted.
"Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine." There had been only wine, no beer or whiskey, so that was a shame. Well, at least there had been free dinner. Arthur went to get a new rag to dust the living room.
"Grab my sister and whisper 'Yo, this one's mine.' My sister made her way across the room to you. And I got nervous, thinking, 'What's she gonna do?' She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' 'I'm through'. Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm.." His brother had gone to talk to Alfred, and Arthur thought he'll never get the man he'd fallen so hard.
"Helpless! Oh, look at those eyes! Oh! Yeah, I'm helpless, I know. I'm so into you, I am so into you. I know I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in them." He let the CD to sing the women's part, as he brushed the bookshelfs.
"Where are you taking me?" Alfred put his hands on Arthur's hips, smiling and singing Hamilton's part. The rag fell on the floor from the smaller male's hand. Arthur was surprised at first, but figured out that his husband had left - escaped - earlier from his work. Arthur had stayed at home, because he didn't feel so good in the morning. The headache and nausea had subsided a bit, but they were still there.
"I'm about to change your life." The couple sang together Angelica's part.
"Then by all means, lead the way." Arthur turned around to look at Alfred. He looked happy, but slightly tired. There was a unspoken question in Alfred's eyes. Arthur smiled shortly, nodding.
