Conversation at 1/12/2010 5:22:59 PM
Note: After this event
Arthur: exrebelwithtea
Antonio: si_espana
Gilbert: preussen_ore
Gilbert: ...What's with you?
Arthur: *editing articles* ...What do you mean?
Gilbert: You look down... *sits by his table* What's up?
Arthur: *sighs again, correcting lines* There's nothing wrong... *places the papers elsewhere* They should do that over.
Gilbert: ...If you tell me, I'll get you a pint next time we go out.
Arthur: ... *groans, feels like he does need the alcohol, but doesn't want to blurt it out by accident, which he knows he'd probably do, rubs his forehead* No... N-no thank you.
Gilbert: *leans closer, smirking a bit* Come on~ It'd help with whatever the hell's your problem is~
Arthur: *thinking about the kiss suddenly, pinking, facepalms and shakes his head* N-no, I can't...
Gilbert: *eyebrow quirk* You're turning red like a tomato...
Arthur: *touches his cheeks with his hands, trying to cool them down* I am not!
Gilbert: Yes you are~
Arthur: *turns away so his back is facing Gilbert and he can try to calm down* (Stupid Spaniard! Stupid mistletoe... ) *he still likes him though, which he thinks is a problem*
Gilbert: *watching him curiously* This is a huuuge problem huh?
Arthur: It's nothing. I'm just a little bothered a minor... err... blunder.
Gilbert: So if it's so minor then it shouldn't be a big deal. *cocks his head*
Arthur: It's... unusual. *picks up another paper and tries to work* and a little embarrassing...
Gilbert: Well I've certainly seen you embarrassed about something before. What's so different about this? And I really don't need you to edit that now. The paper's not due until next month. Damn new writers are so overzealous...
Arthur: You're the one who got them to sign up. *lets the paper go, feels like he doesn't have a shield*
Gilbert: Don't change the subject. And you should feel happy that it isn't Alfred bugging you about this.
Arthur: Why would that git bother me about this? ... Why are you bothering me about this?
Gilbert: Coz we're curious, insufferable buggers who happen to be your friends. *smirks*
Arthur: *frowns... thinks about it... starting to cave in really... staring at the table*
Gilbert: *waits a bit impatiently*
Arthur: *sighs, says softly...* I... I... kissed someone.
Gilbert: ... *controls himself and doesn't yell something stupid, leans a bit closer* Who?
Arthur: *not looking at him, turning red again* >.>; N-not telling...
Gilbert: Pssssh. You made it this far. *eyebrow quirk* It can't be anyone really awful.
Arthur: It's not. *squirms, adjusts his tie a little*
Gilbert: So what's the problem?
Arthur: I can't. You know him. Oh fuck- *headdesk*
Gilbert: *eyebrows lifting* HIM?? I know HIM??
Arthur: *hiding his face in his arms, muffling his answer* Y-yes, yes you do.
Gilbert: ...Should I start listing names or do you save me the energy--
Antonio: Gilbert. *standing by the door, smiling as always* Are you busy?
Arthur: *tenses, lifts his head and slowly... very slowly, looks*
Gilbert: Hey Tonio. Nah, Arthur here is just telling me something. *gestures to Arthur* What's up?
Antonio: *blinks at the mention of Arthur, looking to him, smiling a bit* ...Hello Arthur.
Arthur: *...he gives a nod, because he feels like he lost his voice*
Antonio: *smiles a touch more and looks to Gilbert and starts talking to him about what he wants him to play for his birthday...*
Gilbert: *very enthusiastically starts giving "suggestions"* ...I want a song that I could actually understand, okay?
Antonio: *chuckling softly* I do know songs in English, Gilbert. ^^
Arthur: *tries to be very small and quiet as the two talk, pretends to try to edit another paper, not really reading, just listening to Antonio and Gilbert, but mostly Antonio (lol) *
Gilbert: Hey Artie, what song would you recommend? You play guitar. You should know some cool stuff.
Antonio: *looks to Arthur at that, still smiling*
Arthur: W-what? You... what was it? (They were talking about songs!) Any sort of song?
Gilbert: Something that can be played in an acoustic guitar.
Antonio: *just waiting, looking to Arthur, keeping his gaze on him*
Arthur: *can feel his eyes on him, fighting off another blush, not looking at them* A-acoustic, huh... L-let me think.
Antonio: *smiling more* Don't make it too hard, please, Arthur. ^_~
Gilbert: *waits*
Arthur: *says some song title after a while, can feel that his cheeks are very very warm*
Antonio: Oh I know that. ^^ Gilbert?
Gilbert: Yeah okay. *nods* Good choice. You guys should work on a song together or something...
Arthur: (Work on a song together?) ... Is this to be performed on stage?
Gilbert: Yep~ X3
Antonio: *nods* On Gilbert's birthday. ^^
Arthur: *gentle facepalm...* I-I see...
Gilbert: Whaddya say? XD Game, Artie?
Antonio: *looks to Arthur to see for his answer*
Arthur: *slowly nods and sighs* F-fine... But consider this as my gift to you.
Gilbert: Awesome! XD
Antonio: *smiling peacefully, not really showing anything different...* When should we practice, Arthur?
Arthur: *playing with the papers* W-when are you available?
Antonio: Erm... *thinks* Tomorrow afternoon? After classes?
Arthur: Tomorrow afternoon then. *can't even remember if he has anything to do then, but wants to go... really to finally face him alone*
Antonio: *nods* I'll see you then. Where do we meet?
Arthur: Uh... *thinks of a good place...* H-here.
Antonio: *nods, smiling* I'll be here and try my best not to be late. ^_~
Arthur: *nods* G-good.
Antonio: Well that's that. ^^ That's all Gilbert.
Gilbert: Okay~ Where you going now?
Antonio: Just back to the dorms. *shrugs* Time for a nap I think...
Gilbert: Jeez, always with the naps with you.
Antonio: *chuckles* ^_^ Hasta luega, Gilbert. You too Arthur.
Arthur: *tries not to think- it's not that hard when Antonio's there @_@ *
Gilbert: Yeah. Bitz spater.
Antonio: *winks, salutes, and makes his way out* ^_~
Arthur: *looking at the paper*
Gilbert: *sits down by the table again* So, where were we?
Arthur: We... were discussing... why the student council is not setting enough activities this year.
Gilbert: Wrong answer! You were about to tell me who you were kissing!
Arthur: Was I? *playing dumb* I'm quite sure we were talking about something more important...
Gilbert: *rolls his eyes* This is definitely more important than that.
Arthur: *slowly looks at him* Why? It was something... *thinks about it* impulsive and quite stupid... *but doesn't really regret it all that much anymore, just feels embarrassed*
Gilbo: ...And I know him. *stares at him seriously, picks up on the impulsive and stupid part*
Arthur: *feeling uncomfortable at the staring* Stop. Staring.
Gilbo: ...It's not my brother is it? *tilts his head* Coz really. He's got Feliciano and they're practically married. I'm not going to let you fuck that up. *big brother Gilbert is protective*
Arthur: *makes a disgusted face* Don't tempt me. No. Never. Not your brother.
Gilbo: ...It's not Francis is it? *makes a face* You two never got along and I never thought you two'd get together no matter how many times Elizaveta raves about how you two are practically having sex somewhere or something.
Arthur: *shocked* T-that's... *makes another disgusted face* Fuck. Eew. No. We've never! Maybe that other Arthur... *still feels weird about that, and a little sick maybe (lol) *
Gilbert: *sighs* Good. Because Francis? He's my friend, but he's not really a good choice for a boyfriend unless he really loves you.
Arthur: *nods, agrees* C-can you stop then? This is... just bizarre.
Gilbert: Hmmm~ *ignores him of course* Can't be the other me. He's got Roderich. Uh... Alfred? Matthew? Uhhhh...
Arthur: *sighs, and tries to ignore him* No. Stop thinking about it, please.
Gilbert: Fine. *shrugs* The last one's Antonio anyway and you've never even talked to him before... Until today anyway.
Arthur: *stops, swallows and nods* I suppose.... then shall we continue with this?
Gilbert: Yeah. *shrugs* Anyway~
Arthur: *nodding* Y-yeah... cause I've never talked to him before...
Gilbert: Yep~ You don't really share any activities right? Last time I checked you weren't on the football team. Or even cared for anything like that.
Arthur: I have to mind it even a little. *nods* We report on their activities as well... *feels like he's trying to find out where he sees Antonio...*
Gilbert: *sniggers* Heh. Remember when we had Antonio featured? XD Man. Remember the requests for shirtless pictures?
Arthur: *forgot about those...* Yes, I remember...
Gilbert: *sniggers* XD And people almost got those pictures.
Arthur: *didn't know about that, tries to look disinterested* Did they?
Gilbert: Yep~ Ah~ Anyway~
Arthur: Hmmm? *distracted...*
Gilbert: Oh nothing~ Looking forward to my birthday present, by the way.
Arthur: *blinks...* Ah... The song.
Gilbert: Yep~
Arthur: *sighs again*
Gilbert: So what do you plan to do with the guy?
Arthur: W-what? N-nothing! We're just going to practice for the song. *stops...*
Gilbert: ... *stares at him...processing*
Arthur: *tries to recover* O-oh. I thought we were talking about your present.... Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I suppose.
Gilbert: ...Dude. Antonio??
Arthur: *cheeks slowly turning red again* W-w... N-no!
Gilbert: *staring at him...* Yes it is! FUUUUUUUUCK!
Arthur: *hides his face in his hands, can't look at Gilbert*
Gilbert: *looking at him...* What did you mean by mistake and stupid?
Arthur: *slowly lowers his hands* It was something I did... because of an impulse. *wonders if he's going to get hit* One moment, we were talking about chocolate... and then I'm suddenly kissing him. All right? *looking at anything else but Gilbert*
Gilbert: ... *smirks* So. You got hit by the legendary Spanish charm.
Arthur: .... what legendary Spanish charm? *slowly looks at him*
Gilbert: Heh. People fall in love with Antonio everyday. It's nothing new.
Arthur: ... I see. *nods* Good then. I don't have to worry about this being awkward. He can forget it easily. *not the least bit relieved, but tries to look it*
Gilbert: ...Would you be all right with it? if he forgot about it so easily?
Arthur: *clears his throat* ...Of course.
Gilbert: ... *shrugs* Well okay. *has seen girls run away crying because Antonio didn't like them back*
Arthur: *nods, thinks that it's better if he doesn't get involved then... sighs again* Let's return to this then. What do you think? *hands him the paper*
Gilbert: *looking at him...* I think we should... *adds things, disregards others*
Arthur: *takes notes, focuses on their work so he doesn't have to think about Antonio anymore... is a little hurt, of course, but he thinks it was his fault anyway*
