Arrested in Love: UsUk Prisoner AU

16: A 'Hero'

Author's Note: Arthurs kids are back yeEt
I'm sorry although they're super undeveloped characters I love his children.
Actually tbh expect more of them
Anyways, enjoy some fluff!

"What's this hero like?" London asked, crossing her arms. Arthur laughed a bit, hand on the back of his neck while he slipped out of his police jacket.

He was currently reading his daughters a story before they'd interrupted.
"I want to know why you're so happy lately." London said suspiciously, raising an eyebrow. Ellie of course got involved almost immediately, wanting it to be like some bedtime story.

"Well, there's- a hero."
"A hero?" Ellie asked excitedly, peeking up. "Like- Like Wonder Woman?!"
Arthur coughed a bit, imagining his lover in a Wonder Woman costume. Damn- his thighs-
"No! Not like Wonder Woman. But like...Batman,"

London scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Dad. C'mon. You should know, Batman is not a superhero."
"Exactly, London. You see, my hero has done a wrong. Or well, they think he has. He really hasn't, I'm sure. And honestly, he's a handsome guy. So sweet and compassionate."

London and Ellie giggled rather loudly, cupping hands over each other's mouths. "Daddy has a crush!" Ellie squealed, clapping her hands.
"You're insane sis~ The superhero is a boy! Mommy says that's not real."

Arthur's eye twitched, shaking his head. "Aha- your mother is wrong—yet again—See, kids. Two boys loving each other is a very normal thing. In fact, your dad is-"
"That's why Mum left you!" London laughed.
Arthur facepalmed himself. "No- London you're being a little bloody shit. So stop."

Ellie perked up with a larger grin. "I wanna hear! What's he like? Does he know how to braid hair?! Makeup?! I want him to do my princess makeup!"
Arthur peeked an eye out from the palms of his eyes. "Ah- I didn't say I was fooling around with anyone, Dear."

London raised an eyebrow. She was a mischievous little kid. Questioned everything and was honestly Arthur's ex-wife's twin. They butt heads but that's to be expected. It just Arthur because he was so close to Ellie but not London. Or, he used to be close with London.

"You are! That's what Mum said you told her. So..you're um..a lesbian?" She murmured softly, confused on her words.

Arthur's eyes widened, shaking his head wildly. Ah, Michelle. Creating lies ever since this marriage started.
"Not at all! Lesbians are two girls that love each other! Two boys who love each other are gay. And then there's others but we won't get into that! I'd be dead before I finished... So!

"I want the truth, Daddy," Ellie squealed out, thinking about her dad holding hands with another boy. It'd be so cool. She'd have three dads!
Three.

"The truth? I suppose..Its been a year. Girls, your Dad has a boyfriend. He's really sweet and kind to me. You couldn't possibly hate him. His smile is bright and charming, and he'd just love you two!" And by the time the Brit was finished talking he chuckled and was blushing brightly.

"Dad likes a boy?" London questioned quietly, tilting her head. "How's he a hero, Dad?"
Arthur smiled just thinking about Alfred. He was so perfect. He wanted him right next to him. He wanted them to live together and be happy. He needed Alfred right next to him at all times.

"When I'm with him..I feel safe. Which is ironic but we won't get into that. He makes me smile like I never have before, girls. You know when a princess finds her prince-?"
"And her eyes just sparkle thinking about it!" Ellie giggled.
"Exactly. A prince found his prince, El. And it's honestly the greatest love I've felt for another human being."

Ellie and London yawned, curling up in their beds. Arthur took that as a sign that they were ready to sleep. "Was the story good, girls?"
"I never wanna read one again! I only want to hear about Daddy's boyfriend!"
London had already fallen asleep, sleeping lightly.
