Morning Blues

(Original title: Small Moments with Alfred and Arthur #1)

Emerald eyes opened to meet the bright but gentle rays of the peeking morning sun.

"Looks like I've slept in..." Queen Arthur muttered to himself as he shifted places to face his handsome king.

A smile crept on the queen's lips as he reached out to gently brush the back of his hand on Alfred's cheek. He gazed at the young king's face adoringly, promptly noticing the non-existent changes on his features.

'No trace of wrinkles yet despite the huge responsibility on his shoulder...' Arthur thought to himself as he took in the pleasurable sight of the red tinged, plump cheeks, the adorable nose, the naturally pink-frosted lips and the unmarred skin that experienced a lot of wars than anyone wouldn't have thought.

However, despite the muscular figure and tall stature, his Alfred is still an oversized child through and through.

His actions are a little childish at times; creating his battle strategies in a board game fashion, hiding from paperworks time to time or downright rejecting proposals just because it bores him. Yeah. A big child in a man's body.

Then again, even if his king is two years younger than him, the age difference didn't hinder their responsibilities to each other and to their beloved people.

He stroked his husband's cheek again, fondly noting that even if he's older, he's spoiled by his childish king in more ways than one. Alfred would often surprise him with a lot of gifts, on other times, he would usually sneak out of his work just to deliver his afternoon tea. During those sneak deliveries, the king would always stay to talk about sweet nothings that'd probably drag on for hours until Yao finds him.

Sweet reality dawned in him as he realized that those visits were becoming less and less these past few days. Nostalgia hit him like a ton of bricks. They're actually too busy these days that they barely had time for each other after leaving the chambers to carry on.

His gentle stroke became fleeting, his longing unknowingly seeping out from that caress. It didn't take long for the recipient to register it as his blue eyes were finally unveiled of black lashes.

Their eyes met and Alfred can't resist the urge to turn his lips towards the palm on his cheek and kiss it warmly. He returned his gaze on strong emeralds that somehow softened at his gesture and offered out a smile that's still heavy of sleep. He knew what the other's thinking about, really. It's no brainer that when Arthur gets this clingy, he's extremely missing him.

Alfred is not an idiot to let small moments like this pass. It's important to seize any possible chance to be with his spouse especially when their schedule is always jam-packed. Today's not an exception.

With the king smiling, Arthur returned it with a smile that summarized his overflowing happiness. A smile that made his pale cheeks swell in red and his green eyes half lidded in a state of stupor. Alfred really loved that smile.

"Good morning, Alfie..." The queen cooed at him as he sunk back under the blankets.

Alfred chuckled at the gesture, moving even closer as he pulled the other's head to meet his forehead. The king pecked the petite nose before whispering in unsupressed glee,

"Good morning too, my beloved queen, Artie...I missed you too."

.Owari.

A/N: So here's that piece of short sweet nothing I wrote on paper. :) I actually tweaked and added a lot of things in it but the original plot is still here and nothing has been left out! I told you, it's sooo short! XD

Anywho, since this was created a year ago (yes, I dated my work. Approximately January 22-23, 2013! :D), I'm at the stage of Cardverse fangirling around that time. That explains the Spades settings! I really loved the fact Himaruya-sensei made it a canon! America being king and England being queen heavily implied a relationship...xD I was jumping up and down when I found out about that! >.<

Oh, the original title was purposely given because this was supposed to be a part in a string of unreleased oneshots for my major crossover fic, "Bonds Through Horizons". You can search up the name, it'll turn up as a blog or a lot of drawings from my deviantArt. :)

I hope this gave you cavities! Teehee~
