II OF SPADES

The World is Ours: Chapter 2

ARTHUR

Arthur slowly closed the door, making sure to not make a sound. He took his shoes and placed it on the shoe rack.

It was 10:58 in the evening. Alfred would already be home by then and Arthur was sure his husband is furious that he isn’t home early.

Arthur didn’t take his socks off so it wouldn’t make a sound on the hardwood floors as he tiptoed to the kitchen. Through the dark, he blindly searched for the refrigerator which he eventually found. He scanned the fridge to look for something to eat. He took a chocolate and strawberry sandwich and close the fridge. Suddenly, the lights went on and Alfred was standing in the doorway with his suit still on and an indeed furious look.

“Where have you been.” Alfred asked but sounded more like a command.

Arthur glanced at the floor and quickly ate the sandwich before answering.

“I was finishing my work.. Yeah.” Arthur said.

Alfred kicked him in the back of his legs, making him lose his balance and fall on the floor.

“I didn’t assign any paperwork to you. And didn’t I tell you to wait for me?!” Alfred yelled as he held Arthur’s head and force the Brit to look at him.

Arthur began to cry.

“I-I met an old friend okay? And we chatted in a cafe until 6. Since your meeting ended at 4, you would yell at me in public. Or if I go home, you’ll hit me again! So I went home at this hour since I’m sure you’d be asleep. I stayed at the public library while waiting…”

Alfred glared at him.

“Who’s this friend?”
Arthur stayed silent.

“Answer me.” Alfred ordered as his hand moved to Arthur’s neck.

Arthur still didn’t answer. He knew what Alfred will do if he ever found out. Alfred gripped Arthur’s neck. Arthur began to cough and choke.

“It’s Simon! Simon Kaines!” Arthur croak out. Alfred let go of Arthur who panted and stood up.

“Simon Kaines.. The sales manager? Looks like we need a new one.” Alfred pulled out his phone. 

“Berwald? You’ll be the new sales manager. Good bye.” Alfred dialed another number. “Allen, can you please deal with the sales manager? Simon Kaines. Bye.”

“No! Alfred please!” Arthur cried as he tugged on Alfred’s suit.

“Too late.” Alfred said and carried Arthur bridal style.

Arthur cried and buried his face onto Alfred’s chest.

Alfred placed Arthur on their bed who began to hug his teddy bear.

“You know I only did this for you.” Alfred smiled as he caressed Arthur’s cheek.

Alfred threw his coat on the floor along with his neck tie before climbing on top of Arthur and kissed the others’ neck.

Arthur moaned softly and faced Alfred who immediately kiss him.

All Arthur could think of is that this is not the man he married. This is not his Alfred who sang musical songs with him at the top of their lungs; nor is the man who vowed to lift his sorrows with a golden goblet, or the man who proposed to him at King’s Cross while singing ‘Rewrite The Stars’.

--
Alfred was currently attending a meeting in Washington DC.

The geographical locations suddenly moved and that they are now in a kingdom called Spades. There were no Monarchs yet, but the Queen must be from England, King from America, Jack from China and Ace from Canada. The current Queen of England refuse to take the spot since the President of America will be King if she took the spot.

And since Alfred was the president of a mining company, he needs to attend a meeting that will discuss about the change in the land or whatever the meeting was about.

Arthur sat on the staircase outside the building. It was hot outside, but since Alfred told him to wait outside; that means he have to wait outside.

Arthur was feeling nauseous and light-headed due to dehydration and the heat. His eyes closed and he felt himself fall.

All he heard was;

“What are you doing outside Iggy?!”

--

Arthur woke up in a cozy bed. His eyes scan the room and saw Hero posters and a shelf full of figurines. Arthur then realized that he is wearing an oversized shirt with Batman printed on the front.

Suddenly the door opened and Alfred came in. He was holding two ice cream cups in his hands; when he saw Arthur, a smile made it’s way onto his face.

“You’re finally awake! God I was so worried about you.” Alfred said and sat on the bed before giving Arthur an ice cream cup.

“You were?” Arthur asked in disbelief. Alfred is acting weird.

“Of course you dummy! Why the fuck are you outside in this blazing heat?!” Alfred scolded.

“Y-you told me to wait outside.” Arthur hesitantly said.

“Huh? I don’t remember telling you that. Well whatever. Eat up! Then we could watch horror movies!” Alfred exclaimed before moving closer to Arthur and placed the other on his lap. Alfred wrapped his arms around Arthur and turned the telly on.

Happy Death Day was playing and both watched it in silence.
After the movie, Alfred was whining that he’s scared of his birthday.

“It’s been awhile since we hang out like this.” Arthur said as he kissed Alfred’s cheek.

“Yeah.” Alfred smiled and kissed Arthur in the lips.

“I love you.” Arthur said.

“I love you too.” Alfred said and pulled the covers over them. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight love.”

The Alfred Arthur married was now back. But the weird thing is, Alfred looked like he’s 19 years old instead of 29.
