black on black on black

He first meets him through a glass screen and maybe something like four thousand miles.

Milan was quite far from New York, Alfred knew that at least.

He sees him walking down the runway (like he secretly owns it but you wouldn't know until one day he takes it away and you're left with nothing - like a hit and run, like the plundering of a pirate -), dressed in black and black and black. Black suit jacket (no shirt), black slacks, cutting off above his ankles, showing off milky skin, and black loafers.

It only makes the green of his eyes seem that much brighter. It only makes him that much more mesmerising.

Google tells him the man's name is Arthur Kirkland, he's 23, comes from somewhere within London (geography wasn't Alfred's strong suit), ho-hum, he modeled for this, that and them.

An ad post catches his eye.

Casting. New York. Fresh face. Arthur Kirkland. Work with.

Alfred nearly trips running to his mobile phone.




"I hate coffee."

He hears Arthur Kirkland speak for the first time. Alfred laughs, takes a (trembling) sip from his Starbucks take-away cup, smacks his lips a little and flicks his tongue out (nervous habit), uses one finger, the other four still holding his coffee, to point at the other.

"S'not for you."

Damnnnnnnn it, Alfred, you iiiiiidiot -

A quirk of an (obviously manicured) eyebrow. "Really now? Well, good for me then."

Alfred's glad he managed to catch the amused twinkle in green eyes before he was ushered out to the waiting hall.




Number 407.

He steps out in a simple v-necked t-shirt, black, paired with grey denims and dark brown boots. Alfred is really thankful his rather crazy French neighbour likes to use him as a model for some of his... creations from time to time. Just as he's about to step in front of the panel, the stylist hurriedly puts on a pin-striped jacket for him. He has no idea how he looks like.

But Arthur is there, sparkling, mysterious green eyes, tousled blond hair, an almost-smile on his lips, and Alfred forgets that this is totally insane.

The flash goes off.




He doesn't make the cut.

Figures, he's not dejected. He tried. Always learn from new experiences, he says. He saw Arthur.

"Hey!"

Alfred stops short at the corner.

Arthur is there, white long-sleeved v-neck, black skinny jeans and matching boots. He hadn't bothered to put on any sunglasses and was he panting a little?

Arthur straigthens, clears his throat (how cute) but his face is (deliberately) nonchalant.

"We-" ahem, "We should get tea some time."

Alfred feels strangely calm. Maybe he's just too happy.

A smile, small but bright, a star in the night sky. "I'd like that."

Arthur smiles his almost-smile too.

"Good for me then."

'Casting. New York. Fresh face. Arthur Kirkland. Work with.

Alfred not making the cut was... Not too unexpected for me surprisingly, but still fitting; it's always better not to have relationships with your work associates yea?

Oh and,

wheee~ comments are always welcomed and absorbed 83 because sucked up is just a weird expression. I don't even know what comments would taste like, what if they taste bad :(

hee, yes I still need to do the Hot version of this Image although word of caution, my updates get really sporadic :/ hehehehehe I just saw your kink meme school AU de-anon >333

THANK YOU~ :D yup, until Tuesday :) now you get to see what went on behind the scenes hahaha~ ;D

HAHA DUDE WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN' /can't write pr0n for nutz 8Db oh I realise you write on the kink meme alot 83 nice.. /HAS NEVER WRITTEN ANYTHING FOR THE KINK MEME ALTHOUGH I WAS ONCE TEMPTED BY A CARD AU ONE ;_; But I think it was best that I didn't fill that request.. I would have twisted it into some weird Assassin AU where the only actual relation to the prompt would be that Alfred and Arthur go killing people in their Card AU outfits |D

[identity profile] bulletthestars.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
haha yeah i write mostly for the kink meme cos i'm too bloody lazy to think of things on my own orz

EH YOU SHOULD TOTALLY TRY WRITING FOR THE KINK MEME! omgosh an assassin AU sounds awesome :D or alternatively you could just use the anything goes prompt and say you were inspired by that request~

[identity profile] daemon-angelus.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha naw~ I actually think the kink meme is a rather good idea :3 and it allows people to explore and try, anonymously even, which is nice :D

LOLOL aw, thanks for the encouragement :D I haven't been on it in forever, I usually only read when the usuk kink meme index gets updated (and that.. hasn't been happening |D not blaming anyone or anything of course haha)

IKR! ahh~ assassin AU~ I attempted it previously so whee~ maybe I'll do one someday where they're both assassins 83 idk~

anything goes prompt? o.o?? heh? /clueless

[identity profile] bulletthestars.livejournal.com 2011-07-26 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
here's the anything goes (as long as there's hetalia in it) prompt: http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/11411.html?thread=23682451#t23682451 ehh you can just use it as your request, then say you got inspiration from another prompt. or you can just ask the OP if they won't mind you tweaking the details of a fill :D

oh have you requested anything on the meme before?

[identity profile] daemon-angelus.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
I NEVER KNEW THAT EXISTED. THAT'S LIKE SOME MASTER CHEAT CODE FOR THE KINK MEME OR SOMETHING 8D lololololol. thanks for the advice! :DD

nope! I just read and comment very occasionally ;D hahaha
