The Little Things

🌹Twelve🌹

     Francis looked up at Arthur. They were still sitting together on the couch, Francis in Arthur's lap.

     The Frenchman kissed Arthur's cheek and the green-eyed man turned bright red.

     "Even if you do stupid things... you're still cute..." he mumbled quietly.

     Francis smiled and snuggled into Arthur.

     Arthur grabbed the TV remote and turned on the television. "Oh... um... Doctor Who is on.... So... um.... You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?"

     "No...."

     "I thought as much."

     Arthur pressed a piece of pancake to Francis' lips. "Come on Frenchie... just eat it.... Please?"

     Francis opened his mouth and closed it around Arthur's fingers and the piece of pancake. Arthur quickly pulled his fingers away and grabbed another piece of pancake.

     "Good boy!"

     Francis chewed and swallowed, his head tilted in confusion all the while.

     Arthur held up the next piece to Francis' lips and he ate that as well. The process kept repeating until the pancake was gone.

     Arthur lightly dabbed at Francis' lips with a napkin. "See? That wasn't so bad, now was it, my Frenchie?"

     "No...."

     The bushy-browed man placed a hand on Francis' cheek. "Why don't we go take a nap?"

     "No." Francis buried his face in Arthur's neck.

     "What'd you mean, no?"

     "No."

     "Francis."

     "No." He nuzzled Arthur's neck.

     "Hmph."

     "No."

     "But I didn'-"

     "No." Francis looked up at Arthur and his eyes sparkled in the way only Francis' eyes could.

     Arthur sighed. "So, what do you want to do?"

     Francis pressed his hand against Arthur's chest. "Stay." He got off of the couch and crawled away.

     Francis returned a short while later with a blanket. He stretched his arms out towards Arthur, who pulled him onto his lap.

     The Frenchman wrapped the blanket around both him and Arthur.

     "Wh-" Francis pressed a finger to Arthur's lips.

     "No." He gently brushed his thumb over Arthur's lips.

     "Francis...."

     "Ssshh...." Francis giggled giddily before burying his face in Arthur's neck.

     Arthur gently started petting Francis' hair. "Absolutely adorable~...."
