Body swap (FrUK)

Chapter nineteen

"Thanks for the change of clothes" I looked to Francis, who nodded quickly, looking away from me. "Are you okay?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He stopped cooking and took a step away from me. "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" His face was red, and he was nervous. "You don't seem okay; what is your deal?" I asked, stepping closer to him, but he was scared. "Arthur....aren't you thinking about what just happened? We kissed each other" Francis looked at me seriously as I felt that feeling in my stomach again. I thought that if I were to forget what happened, this feeling would not come back.

"Well yeah....but it is okay since we are friends anyway. We both know it was an accident" I looked at him as his face softened. "Well yeah....but it was different....." he turned the stove off as he finished cooking. "What do you mean?" I asked, confused. "I mean..... it was a different feeling kissing you. I liked it!!" My eyes widened hearing him say that. "What? Are you sure?" I asked, confused. That feeling in my stomach grew. "Yes.....I am sure" he sadly looked at the food.

"But why? I do not understand" Francis looked at me sadly as I said those words. "That is fine..... let's just forget it happened" he forced a smile. The smile was the last thing I saw before my vision went blank. We switched once more. I looked at his face in my body and grew sad. "Francis, What is wrong?" I asked. "I just..... I am hungry," he said, grabbing a plate to serve himself food. I looked at him, confused as he continued to be in a slump. "Let's have a seat" he smiled at me.

My vision went blank as we switched back again. "You will be staying tonight, correct?" He asked, and I nodded. Francis usually loves when I stay over at his place. When I did, we would stay up exceptionally late like a bunch of teenagers or something. It was hilarious. We both sat down at the table and stayed quiet. I know something is bothering him, that kiss specifically. He said he liked it....that would not make sense for him to like it, though. Unless he..... NO!!! We are just friends; that does not make sense.

I looked up at him, and he looked so calm as he ate his food. "Francis...-." NO! I can't just ask if he feels that way; I am stupid. "Yes?" He looked at me sweetly as I shook my head. "It was nothing, hehe," I laughed nervously. Looking at my food, what Yao said came into my head. His unrequited love..... NO! I won't accept this. We have only really been friends for like a month. I looked at Francis eating calmly. He was actually really attractive, his hair looked soft, and he had smooth skin. Wait! I can't just be checking him out; that is rude.

My eyes continued to glance at him as I looked down. He had a nice body, and I guess......a really nice one. "Arthur, can you hand me a napkin?" Francis said, making me jump. "Yes!!! Here!" I said nervously, turning red. I was checking him out; what is wrong with me? However, I continued to do it. He was actually really attractive, and I guess I would not mind kissing him again. I finally looked away from him so that I can finish eating my food.

"This is a little awkward, isn't it?" Francis chuckled. I looked over at him shaking my head. "No, not at all...I guess I am still trying to process it as well" I laughed, eating food. "Yes..... me too- maybe we should watch a movie after this?" He asked, making me nod. "Yeah, for sure." I smiled happily. The rest of the dinner did end quietly. How could this get so awkward? I wish I could talk to Alfred about it, but he would just celebrate. "Here, let me."
"Oh, thank you," I smiled, letting him grab my plate. He turned around slowly, and I could not help but check him out again from behind this time.

I mentally slapped myself in the face, trying to look away from him. I was really acting like a pervert today. I am so stupid. "Let's see what is on Netflix or something," he laughed, coming out of the kitchen. I stood up from the chair and followed him to the sofa, sitting beside him. I still wanted to slap myself in the face for thinking that he was attractive. I could not help it; now that I was getting a good look, I couldn't look away. I am stupid sometimes, too, now.

"Parks and rec is amusing," I laughed, making him nod by clicking it. "Are you cold?" He asked, and I nodded. "Just a little" I smiled. Francis nodded determinedly as he took out a blanket from beside him. "Ta-da!!!" He chuckled, placing it on me. God, he was so cute. "Thanks!" I stuttered out. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I suddenly acting this nervous? "Here, come under too" I shared the blanket with him. Francis comfortably got under the blanket beside me as we faced the television, very interested.

I can feel my heart beating faster, knowing that I was under a blank with him. This is normal; friends do this, no big deal. I scoot closer to him to where our shoulders are touching. "I am still cold," I said nervously. "Oh-ok," his cheeks turned a light pink color looking me in my eyes. I breathed out, looking back to the show. It would not hurt for me to get more comfortable. I started fidgeting nervously as I slowly leaned my head on his shoulder. It made me so happy that I began to smile inside like a stupid fool.

Francis stiffened underneath me as I continued to nudge my head on his shoulder. "Sorry, I am a bit sleepy," I laughed nervously. "No worries," he was trying to hide a joyous tone by saying his words calmly. This is not so bad now that I think about it.
