Pokerface: Usuk Hetalia Cardverse

Nightmares

Arthur bolted awake at the sound of a scream. He sat up and looked around his dark room. The bed was lush and blue, and the robes he wore were the most comfortable silk he had ever felt. The room had blue walls with different designs everywhere.

With a sigh he swung his legs over to the side and climbed out of bed, walking to the door in the dark. He yawned before pushing the door open and stepping into the hall. Two guards instantly stopped him "Queen Arthur, what are you doing up so late?" One asked.

He pushed passed the guards towards the kings room "I'm checking in on my fiance... I heard a scream." "He's fine we just checked on him, go back to b-" "No!" Arthur cut in as he put a hand on the handle "I wish to see the king!" The guards glanced at each other before stepping back and letting him enter the room.

When he pushed the door open he was shocked, there was a young boy crying on the king's bed. Arthur stepped forward before realizing who it was. "Your highness?" Arthur asked as he moved closer. The king instantly sat up straight and put on his pokerface "Ah, my queen... do you need something?" He already looked much older.

Arthur walked up to the bedside and sat down, wiping his tears away "Are you ok? You're crying..." Alfred froze and looked away "I-it's nothing..." He murmured while rubbing at his own eyes. Arthur moved closer, kneeling on the bed and craning his neck to see Alfred's face "Do you want to talk about it... I'm here for you..."

Alfred looked at Arthur for a moment before letting out and sob and hugging him. "Please... don't leave me, Arthur... I already lost my father... I don't want to lose you too!" Alfred cried into Arthur's chest while gripping the front of his robes.

With a comforting squeeze, Arthur began rubbing the king's back slowly "I promise to be here for you, your highness..." "Alfred" The king murmured while getting a strange look from Arthur "You can call me Alfred..." Arthur smiled as moved to leave "Thank you, Alfred-" "Can you stay?" Alfred chimed in again.

"I'd feel better if you slept here with me..." Alfred said with begging eyes. Arthur stared at him for a moment before smiling softly "Ok..." He whispered as he slid underneath the blankets, holding back a squeak when Alfred pulled him closer.

Alfred sighed and looked down at Arthur, who had nuzzled into his chest "Thank you, my queen..." He whispered into Arthur's hair, close to his ear. Arthur wrapped his arms around Alfred and pressed against him, his smell, his heat, the sound of his voice... it was all so comforting.

Alfred wrapped his arms around Arthur in response and kissed his forehead, slowly drifting away thanks to Arthur. He felt like for once since his father was assassinated, he would sleep soundly. "You're welcome, Alfred..." Arthur whispered back ad they fell asleep, nuzzled against each other.
