Alfred frowned as he stared out his limo's window. It was pouring down rain. He was supposed to be back in America a couple days ago, but his brother was here as well as his son, so he decided to stay a bit longer. Besides, football season was over for a while.

A few minutes trekked by before he furrowed his brows. There in the rain was a drenched Arthur. His sweater and pants clung to his shivering frame.

"Artie?! Oh my god, get in!" Alfred insisted.

Arthur looked up in surprise. He blushed but couldn't find a reasonable excuse to not get inside. He slowly climbed in and awkwardly allowed Alfred to wrap him in his bomber jacket that was way too big for him.

"Th-Thank you..." The Brit sniffled before letting out a sneeze.

Alfred smiled slightly. "No problem... Why were you in the rain?"

Arthur looked up, "Oh, uh, Peter's birthday is coming up so I was at your brother's shoppe to see if he could make a pancake flavoured cake." He explained.

The American blinked. "His birthday is coming up? When?" He asked.

Arthur fidgeted with his coat, "Four days from now... November 10th." He told him.

Alfred hummed, "Should I get him something?" He questioned with a spark in his eye.

Arthur sighed. "Alfred... I don't know if you should come to the party... You're not exactly welcome..." He warned cautiously.

"What? Why?"

The smaller male looked at him and said two words, "My brothers."

Alfred paled. "Oh shit. You're right." He grumbled slightly before sighing, "I might show up.... But I might not, I'll see if my balls are worth it." He said with a nervous laugh.

Green eyes wavered slightly, "Okay... If you're sure." He mumbled lowly.

The rest of the ride to Arthur's house was awkward. When they arrived Alfred walked his ex to the door. "Hey Alfred," He turned to face the American, "Than- mmf?!"

Alfred cut him off by placing a gentle kiss to his lips. After a few seconds he pulled back, "Be sure to give a kiss to your bros for me." He teased, "Bye Artie." He kissed his forehead before walking off to his ride.

Arthur's face was flushed a bright Crimson and a stupid smile broke out across his mouth.
