I'm loving this story as well :) But Arthur's still a bit confusing since just as Alfred has noticed, it's hard to tell if Arthur's being honest and not doing things due to some kind of duty or obligation.
I hope to see more of Alfred's past, as well as Arthur warming more to Alfred!

It's so fun to write Arthur like this because I don't even know all the time if he's being honest or not since I'm writing through Alfred. I usually have a good idea though.

Arthur's only used "we" twice so far to refer to him and Alfred, and that's including the dialogue that didn't get written out. But even if he's still keeping them separate, he's still letting more of his personality slip through. :D

More of this universe! Hooray :D

I meant to ask 'Is it because Arthur wasn't trained to be seen as anything more than a mistress?'. whoops, sorry for the confusion!

[marquis25]

In response to your question: pretty much. Arthur had basically been trained to expect to be at best treated as a favored mistress or prized pet, this deeper connection Alfred keeps reaching for is something he doesn't know how to handle.

I was planning to write out more details. It's the problem with first person perspective. Alfred viewed the nobles as a faceless mass not worth explaining in detail, so that's what he tells us about despite my attempts. I'm not going to fight with him over it.

Yao has his own independent agenda. XD

Alfred only had a vague idea of what was going to happen, while Arthur had a pretty clear one the question is did he know about Yao so Arthur didn't have to worry about Alfred getting thrown off of a script and just trusted that he'd be as stubborn as he always is

Yesssss! I'm so glad this popped up today! This was a beautiful follow-up piece, and now I'm pumped for the next chapter!

It's nice to see how they're falling into a comfortable space with each other and it's becoming something more meaningful than sex. Especially for Al. Arthur is still an enigma, but his walls are coming down.

[marquis25]

Thank you.

Alfred is pretty much incapable of having meaningless sex just because of how he was raised. I love writing Arthur here.

I'm sorry I can't offer a more constructive comment/criticism other than Waaaaaah!! I loved this o___o ... at least it's truthful. ♥

Can't wait to read the next chapter! ^^

[marquis25]

That's always a great comment to get though. XD

Hopefully I'll finish it sooner rather than later.

Yey! The continuation~! Yeah, I love this universe too. It's so enjoyable in so many ways and you can create so many plots with it.

I love this. Arthur is opening up to Alfred and the story gets more interesting! I can't wait to see the next part!

[marquis25]

Yeah, it's great.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish it soon.
