"Arthur, where are you?" Francis called.

It was late for Francis, by now his job was running him thin. The only thing he had to come back to was his bitter sweet boyfriend and obnoxious roommate. Lucky for him that roommate had left for a college football event and wouldn't be back till next week.

Sighing he tossed his scarf and coat onto the rack, he took a moment of peace for himself. He listened to the sound of the AC, the sound of a distant yet muffled beeping.

Beeping.

As soon as the smoke alarm registered, Francis darted to the kitchen. As he assumed it was his pesky boyfriend setting the house on fire with his horrendous cooking.

"Arthur!" The French man screeched and turned the oven off, as he pushed past the stunned Brit he went to the window, throwing it open and letting the rising smoke out.

"I didn't  m-"
"ENOUGH!" Francis gave a loud yell before going quiet, knowing that yelling never solved anything with Arthur, it only seemed to fuel the problem as Arthur turned an angry shade of red.

The silence between the two was unwanted by both, but it only seemed to grow as the alarm kept sounding.
Finally, Arthur broke eye contact and walked off leaving Francis to once more deal with the mess in the kitchen. After working a long night, Francis almost left everything where it was, but his anger broke and he was left cleaning up the remains of whatever Arthur had been cooking.

As he cleaned the counter, he found a box of cookie mix, he thought nothing of it but realized it was one of his favourites. Raising a brow he glanced around the kitchen to find other clues before it finally struck him, Arthur had been planing a date or more of a relationship powwow.

Francis felt a little bad, seeing the slightly wilted roses and the burnt cookies made he hurt deep down.
He knew things haven't been great and it seemed Arthur was trying to help in his own way.

He sighed softly and finished cleaning the kitchen before he went to their shared room, where he soon apologize to Arthur and later thanking him. Things seemed to calm down after as the two settled down.

[Quick Short: I decided to finish this one.]
