Summer Love (Hetalia USUK)

Arthur

He doesn't know? Huh, some story. But still, I shouldn't have been getting my hopes up. What if he had a girlfriend? I really didn't know for sure, for he never said anything about her. If there was a her.

I brought my guitar back out again when he was in the bathroom and started to play a song while singing:

High dive into frozen waves while the past comes back to life...

I kept going and got to the chorus when he came into the room, although I didn't notice him do so. Even when he sat on the bed behind me, I didn't notice him and kept playing.

If our love's insanity,

Why are you my clarity?

Then I noticed him when he shifted behind me and abruptly stopped playing, the last note turning flat as I cut it off in embarrassment. I looked down a bit and turned to him.

"Artie, it's fine. Your singing voice really isn't that bad."

"It's almost as bad as my cooking."

"What?"

"Nothing. Long story, not for a time like now."

There was a short pause and I just couldn't resist asking. "You have a girlfriend? Not like I'm asking for any reason, because I have a boyfriend. Just wondering."

He gave me a quizzical look and stuttered, "Well I- I never dated um, anyone before." He paused. "I know it sounds pretty pathetic and weak, but I never was into anyone enough to date them."

What? How the bloody hell has no one ever begged him or bribed him to go out with them before?! He was so adorable and just plain hot. Even Eliza said so! Alfred saw my confused look and asked, "What?" I made up a true excuse. "Nothing, you just called me Artie. And my name is Arthur." He leaned in a tad bit closer and said. "No, your still confused. I can tell."
