omg Alfred, you're such a dork! HAHAHAHA Totally assuming that Mattie and Arthur are together's just SO CUTE.

Despite me liking a jealous!Arthur, a jealous!Alfred is just as cute as well! And imagine him, getting jealous over his own brother! It's really funny!

But omg Alfred's dream of a very sweaty and dedicated Arthur kneading the dough's hilarious as well!

Please, I want to see them kiss, you know! >u<

This is very cute!

Poor Alfred's torn over his crush and his brother, but he can't help himself.

The bread scene was sort of a last minute thing I'd wanted to include, but felt was too silly. I gave in at the end. Couldn't help myself, so I'm glad someone enjoyed by bad innuendo. xD

As for the kiss, I don't make any promises, but I do have an omake idea floating in my head.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so, so much for this wonderful Christmas present! I didn't get a chance to read this until now, and I'm so lucky to have gotten you as my secret santa!

This story is so much more than I could have ever hoped for. It's the perfect combination of silly, fluffy, dorky and just plain cute. I can't find the words to express how much I love this story.

Alfred was adorable, guiltily crushing on his brother's supposed date. I'm really happy with how you ended this, also! I loved the way that they didn't fall in love too quickly, and how this story merely showed the beginning of their relationship.

In short, I really loved this story. Thank you so much for writing this for me! <3

I am so glad you liked it, since I wasn't sure just what to do with the prompt at first. But I settled on (what I hoped was) cute fluff, since that's the first thing that comes to mind with a cafe!AU.

It kind of escalated pretty quickly after that.

I'm glad you didn't mind the lack of any kissing, since I do see this as just the beginning of a crush for Alfred. In fact, I've been thinking about writing out their first date, since I hurried the ending because of time constraints, but college has dried me out of ideas.

Now that I think about it, my prompts were kind of vague, weren't they? XD Still, I think you did an excellent job with it!

I definitely don't mind the lack of kissing, but I would love to see their first date -- once college has stopped sucking the life out of everyone, that is!

Thank you, once again! :)

Really really cute. Poor Alfred, jumping to all those conclusions and feeling guilty for no reason. But I think he'll get over it quickly. XD
