We've Never Met But I Love You

All I Need Is You

The trio continued to quietly argue on the bus, and it went on until they walked into class.

It was now 7:55, class didn't start until 8:12.

Alfred plopped down in his seat, sighing loudly. Matthew rolled his eyes and began chatting with Gilbert.

Alfred turned to Arthur, a big smile on his face.

"Hey boo."

"Ahh."

"Why did you fake scream?"

"Because you said boo."

"Oh."

"Did you need something?"

Alfred smiled again, poking Arthur's cheek.

"Your love and affection would be nice."

"How long are you going to keep this up?"

"Ehh, prolly til you date me."

"Can't you deal with the love of my friendship for now?"

Alfred groaned dramatically.

"Fiiiiine. I guess it's acceptable for now."

Arthur rolled his eyes and smiled.

"You're amusing."

"I know."

"So what else has happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you seem like the type of person whose more.. Uptight? But like not obnoxiously uptight?"

"Oh?"

"I'm not trying to be rude. But like, yesterday you seemed more annoyed. Now you seem more anxious, and keeping to yourself. You're also balling up your first with your hoodie sleeves."

"I do that when I'm cold.."

"It's not that cold though. In here at least."

"Don't worry about it.."

"So there is something wrong."

"Maybe I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Okay, I won't push about it. Right now."

Arthur gave the American a look. Alfred ignored it.

"Will you show me later?"

"Show you what?"

Alfred subtly motioned to his arms.

"Oh.. How?"

"During lunch maybe? I have fifth period lunch, I was just talking to a teacher yesterday."

"I don't know.."

"Please? I wanna see if it needs taken care of, like you.."

"What?"

"I care about you."

Arthur blushed.

"I-I know.. I care about you, too.."

Alfred went to hold Arthur's hand, but the bell rang. Mr. Oxenstierna walked in, announcing to the class that they would be doing a partner assignment today.

Alfred whispered a 'hell yeah' to himself, causing Arthur to laugh quietly.

"Today, you and your partner will be coming up with a poster for an advertisement. It can be about anything you want. But, it has to include the phrase 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Use scrap pieces of paper to come up with a plan and a design."
