*Unbeta'd
The town was quite at night, still and unmoving, only a few street lights lit up they way in which they walked as Alfred carried Erza in his arms down the streets. Alfred searched on every street for a decent hotel for them to stay in, one that would allow a doctor to come, or one that had one working there. After a few tries, he eventually found one. The room they gave them was only a two person room, just big enough for the both of them, a queen size bed and a desk with a chair that sat next to it was all the furniture it contained.
Alfred set Erza down in the desk chair and started puling the covers free from under the bed, getting ready for her to lay down. He really was quite helpful and was very kind, though it seemed that he wasn't liked by many people from where he came from. It was probably his obnoxious personality.
After Alfred had set up the bed and rearranged the covers so that Erza could easily lay down in them, he picked her up in his arms and moved her to it. She took her time getting comfortable, knowing they would be there all night and pulled the blankets up over herself, cuddling down inside them to feel their warmth. It had been cold outside when they were fighting, and the weather on the way here didn't help much either.
"You comfortable now?" Alfred asked, his head cocked to the side in a very curious manner.
"Yes, thank you." Erza smiled, happy that she actually took his offer to help her.
"I'll call a doctor," Alfred said, walking off towards the door. It was amazing how serious he could be when he wanted. Once he reached the door, he took hold of the handle and then look over his shoulder.
"Don't run off, kay?" He said, smiling softly, than soon talking his leave.
As Erza waited for him to return her mind started to wonder yet again. She really did like him, even more so now that he had forced her to let him help, which was something most people didn't do for her.
A few minutes later Alfred came back with a doctor in tow, who took time getting out his equipment. He examined her arm and determined that she shouldn't do much over the next few days so it could heal. It was a quick, short visit, then after, the doctor scurried out as if he had better places to be.
Alfred watched as the hotel door slammed shut, flinching when the loud bang reached his ears, then slowly turned to face Erza.
"So!" Alfred grinned, "What's up?"
Erza sat and stared at him for a few seconds, her brown eyes wide open in surprise and her jaw tempted to fall open, but suddenly burst out laughing instead. It had been so serious the past few minutes that Alfred's words were very unexpected, but after all, this was Alfred. He cocked his head to the side, a little unsure what she was laughing at, but he continued to smile anyway.
"Well." Erza said, trying to stop laughing, "We should probably sleep so we can go see the client tomorrow."
"You need to sleep." Alfred responded, reaching out and placing his strong hands on her shoulders, pushing her as to almost force her to lay down. When she finally gave into the force placed on her shoulders, Erza let her head softly hit the pillow, but Alfred, unexpecting of her sudden compliance, fell down with her, his face now almost touching hers. He stared into her deep brown eyes, watching her face grow furiously red, but not taking much thought on the situation he stayed in the same position. Soon enough, thoughts racing through his head.
`Her face is even more beautiful close up...'
A sudden urge hit him, one he didn't know how to explain. He had never felt like this before. Realization of his actions slipped from him and he slowly moved his head in closer to Erza's.
"A-Alfred!" Erza stuttered, watching him curiously, "What are you doing?"
Alfred lifted his finger to her lips as he stared straight into her eyes.
"Shhhh..." He whispered.
Erza complied, and understanding his intent, she let her eyes close shut, her heart racing in anticipation for his next actions. Alfred removed his finger from her lips and forcefully brought his own lips to hers. For a moment it seemed like nothing happened, both unsure of the situation, but Alfred made his move, silently asking Erza to join him.
Sometime later, Alfred lifted his face from hers, staring down into her eyes yet again. They didn't know how long they had been there, all they knew was that it felt brilliant, and he grinned at her who's cheeks where a bright red. Who knew the first person she kissed would be Alfred of all people?
Alfred slowly stood up, got himself together and pulled the blankets over Erza up around her shoulders.
"You should sleep." He said, smiling.
"And you?" Erza asked, concerned.
"Well, there's only one bed, and I can't really sleep with you." He laughed, "That would be rude! And quite awkward…" He glanced to the floor, "I'll find something!"
He walked over to the door where the light switch was implanted into the wall and flipped the switches, blackening the room. On his way back over to the desk, where he was going to sit for a while, he stumbled about, running into a few things here and there, and letting out a few shouts of "Ow!" or "Ah!". Erza giggled back at his clumsiness.
Once Alfred found the chair he took hold of it and sat himself down, rearranging a bit to get comfortable, only to jump back up again and remove his bomber jacket, which he placed on the back of it. After he was sure he could sit back down without having to get up again, he sunk into the chair the best he could and laid his head on the nearby desk. If he was going to sleep tonight, this would probably be the only place for it. He shut his eyes, ready to fall asleep, and as he did so thoughts raced through his head of the events that had just taken place. He really had just kissed her.
Oh God... This took FOREVER to finish... and its not even that long! I'm so sorry! I had lost insperation for this story recently and I just couldnt get myself to work on it. But finally after working on a recent cross pairing AMV with these two, insperation for this scene came back. Sorry if it sucks, I've never had any experiance myself with kissing so I had to go off of what I've read/seen. I should be having something up with England/Arthur and Lucy soon. And France/Francis should appear sometime soon also. Probably along with Mattie/Canada! I plan on bringing in Russia/Ivan sometime, but I'm not positive on that.
