College Life

Arthur smiled at the girl behind the booth before striking up a conversation, happily talking about the different types of stitches, he'd already established that no matter how embarrassed he might get, he was joining this club.

He chuckled and shook his head. "Seamus and the twins are going to eat you alive."

He laughed and leaned up against the table. "Maybe, but it would be worth it." He said before smirking evily and grabbing a bottle of water. He opened it taking a sip before throwing his back and pouring the water on his face slowly.

Arthur turned back to return to the Pride booth just as he did that, and hos face flushed, at the same time as he sighed, and looked at everyone else fawning over Alfred. "This is what you get, isn't it Arthur. The guy everyone wants." He shook his head and made his way back over, taking his sweet time on purpose.

"Cowboy you are such a cock tease you know that," Francis said as he laughed.

He laughed as he shook his head like a dog at the guys and girls fawning over him. "Yep. It's fun." He said with a wide grin.

Hearing that, Arthur turned right back around. There had to be a Booth he hadn't looked at, right?

Before he could, Alfred grabbed his hand and pulled him close. "Have fun?" He asked softly, smiling at him.

"Yes, but I don't think I've seen all the booths yet, I was going to have another look actually. Hope you don't mind, not that I think you would." He forced a smile, a blush making its way across his cheeks.

He smiled and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "Of course not. I've been watching you this whole time. I can't keep my eyes off you." He said softly as he caressed his cheek. "Go have fun, babe."

He felt his blush darken, and he nodded dumbly for a moment, before fast-walking away toward a random booth.

"It's okay Alfred. Me and Iryna can handle things. Why don't you and Arthur go have fun."

"Okay. Thanks." He said as he grabbed his shirt and hurried after the other.

"Stupid git...Letting everyone fawn over him...Self preservation, ever heard of it?" He mumbled as he walked away, still blushing. He wandered over to the Football table again, not even noticing where he was going anymore.

"Football?" He asked curiously with a raised eyebrow as he caught up to him. He grinned and slipped an arm around his shoulders and pulled him close, pecking him on the cheek.

Arthur jumped at the contact, and looked at the booth he was at, "I didn't realize where I went." He looked back down, avoiding eye contact with the Football players there.

"Are you interested in football?" He asked, looking down at the pamphlets. "I used to play football in high school. I played quarterback." He chuckled.

"Not this Football! American football is nowhere near as good as European Football!" He huffed, crossing his arms. "And somehow, I'm not surprised by you being quarterback. Did you date the head cheerleader also?"

"Nah. She wasn't my type. I dated the drum major." He chuckled.

He rolled his eyes, "You obviously didn't get that one..." He shrugged, "Anyway, what are you doing over here? Aren't you supposed to be doing a strip-tease or whatever for the Pride booth?"

"Strip tease?" He asked with a frown before turning and looking at him.

"What? I don't know, I was just saying something. Strip-tease, dancing for them, you know, to get people to come over. It's what you and Francis were doing, wasn't it?" He shrugged.

"Yeah, but I was just having fun. I wasnt like I was serious or anything. I got something way better." He said with a soft smile.

He blushed, but turned away, looking at the football players, then looking down at the booth again. "Well, I have you...So I guess all they can do is be jealous..."

"Yep." He said with a smile. He pulled him close and wrapped his arms around him in a tight hug. "No need to be jealous baby.." He purred in to his ear.
