Marry me ~UsUk Christmas addition~

Alfred smiled as he brushed a piece of hair out of his sleeping lovers face. He was so peaceful, his little British boyfriend.
Arthur mumbled incoherent things in his sleep, slowly moving closer to his American lover.
It was the morning of Christmas, and everything was going to be perfect. Alfred had a huge surprise... Something he'd wanted to do for a long time... Alfred smiled as he kissed Arthur's forehead gently. He held him close, smiling brightly as his thoughts flashed to a few weeks ago, when they put up the Christmas tree.
~~HOHOHO~~
Arthur huffed as he watched Alfred put up their tree. He wanted to help! But Alfred wouldn't let him...! "I'll told the tree for y-"
He was cut off by a certain chuckle "Artie, I'm good, almost... Done!" He said, poking his head back from under the tree, getting off his knees and brushing his jeans off. "There! Perfect!" he said.
Arthur huffed again, "okay... Well I get to help you next time..." He said. Alfred insisted he set up their Christmas tree because he could get hurt... But he wouldn't! He uncrossed his arms when he felt arms wrap around his middle. He blinked and sighed, leaning his head back onto a strong chest. "Al..."
Alfred kissed his ear, humming "I love you,  Art" he said.
"I love you too, Alfred..." Arthur said softly at his boyfriends words. He turned in Alfred's embrace to face him and cupped his cheeks.
Alfred smiled and leaned into his touch, soft Christmas music pouring gracefully out of their radio... 'Oh the weather outside is frightful... But the fire is so delightful... As long as you love me so... Let it snow let it snow let it snow...'
Arthur blushed as he gazed into pools of crystal blue that put any sapphire to shame. "L-let’s get to decorating, love" he whispered, stroking his loves cheeks.
Alfred hummed along with the song, shaking his head. He placed a hand on Arthur's waist, taking the Brits hand with the other. He led Arthur into a dance, his eyes holding a loving yet childish gleam. He twirled and dipped Arthur, making the Brits rare, beautiful laugh spill off his lips. Oh how he loved these moments.
Arthur blushed and laughed gently as he was waltzed, dancing along with him as the music went on. The smell of gingerbread and peppermint and a fresh pine Christmas tree wafted through their house as Alfred insisted on making the house 'smell like Christmas'.
When the song ended, Alfred had Arthur dipped down, grinning. He kissed Arthur, pulling him back up and still kissing his soft lips. "Mm" he hummed.
Arthur closed his eyes and kissed back, a smile playing on his own lips. "Oh Alfred..." He whispered the American always knew how to take his breath away.
"Let's decorate now, babe" he said, kissing him once more before pulling back, grabbing the lights for the tree.
Arthur smiled and followed his suit, their hands brushing and touching as thy hung up the lights, both purposely trying to be close to the other. They stole a few kisses before they finished hanging the lights.
Alfred plugged them in and stood back "nice" he said as he looked at their lights. "Okay, now ornaments!" He cheered. He opened he box and started to grab one of his own. It was the superman S that Arthur had got him for his 15th Christmas. At the Time Arthur was 19 and was basically Alfred's best friend and was going through his OBSESSION with Superman (not that he doesn't still like Superman, but he was going through... A phase))
Arthur pulled out a teacup ornament, 'Iggy' engraved on the surface. He smiled softly, remembering the bright smile Alfred had on his face as he received his superman ornament, and the shock of receiving his teacup. It was lovely and he adored it, even though he refused to admit he thought the nickname was cute.  He hung his ornament next to Alfred's but not too close.
Alfred picked up his next ornament, from his 16th Christmas. It was a Coke bottle with a Santa hat that had the words best on its red surface.
Arthur, on the other hand had pulled out an armament, his 20th Christmas ornament from Alfred, it was a unicorn horn that sparkled, engraved in it read 'friend'. Arthur smiled softly, hanging this one closer to Alfred's, brushing his hand against the others and glancing up at him.
Alfred caught the others glance and smiled, leaning down to peck his lips "You'll always be my best friend, Arthur" he said softly.
This couple wasn’t just lovers, they were each other’s best friend, and they loved each other on every level, their emotions so deep... And Arthur couldn't help but smile softly. "And you mine" he said, kissing Alfred softly.
Alfred hummed happily. It was always so joyful and happy when they went through their ornaments from each other. They hung them up by year, earliest first, and last year’s last. They had been dating for about a year and a half so they started this tradition last year.
After a few more loving kisses and whispers, they went to get their next ornament. Alfred's 17th and Arthur's 21st. Arthur pulled out his. It was a British flag that had 'The Beetles' on it, Arthur's favorite band.
Alfred pulled out his; it was a picture frame that was red, Alfred's favorite color. It had Alfred's name and the year on the back. But what made it special...?  The picture. It was a picture of Arthur and Alfred at Universal, standing ingrown of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Arthur looked so giddy to the point where his smile was almost brighter than Alfred's! That's why Alfred loved this picture so much. Arthur had his Slytherin scarf around his neck, Alfred's arm around his shoulders as he looked like he was chuckling at him, his eyes shining. Alfred chuckled and hung the ornament up; here comes the next one, the Christmas after they started dating...
Arthur pulled out the ornament, a soft smile on his lips.
The same loving looking swept over Alfred, a mirror image. They both looked over at each other, placing their ornaments together. They gazed at the ornament before looking back at each other. Alfred held a red heart-shaped ornament, a magnet on its left side. Arthur had the same exact shape, except. His heart was blue and its magnet on the right. There was two parts of picture, one part on the surface of the two ornaments. Arthur's was a picture of him, gazing lovingly up to his right at seemingly nothing. Alfred's was of him, gazing lovingly down to his left at seemingly nothing. But when you connect the two ornaments, you can now see the missing picture. They were gazing at each other. No matter how clueless you could be to love, no matter if you didn't know these two men... Anyone could tell, just by the loving, proud, happy, soft, adorning looks on their eyes that they were in love, lovers no doubt.
The pair found themselves gazing at each other, their gazes matching the ones in their ornaments... Pure love... Something that had never ever changed since they realized their feelings.
After Arthur finished gingerly placing his heart on the tree, next to Alfred's, the magnets clicking as they connected, he wrapped his arms around Alfred, holding him in a warm embrace. "Oh Alfred... I love you..." He said softly, butting his face in the crook of the others neck.
Alfred smiled, holding his lover back "I love you too, Art" he said, rubbing the small if his back.
Arthur sighed in content, enjoying the warm feeling of being held by Alfred before he looked to two wrapped boxes. This year’s ornaments... He looked up at Alfred, smiling.
Alfred reached for. His package "mine first" he said, grinning.
Arthur nodded and relaxed in Alfred's arms, which were still encircled around his waist. He carefully opened the Box, moving the tissue paper. His green orbs widened "O-oh Al..." He whispered. He held up the ornament. It was a book, the 'cover' read; Arthur, My love, My life.
"That's not all" Alfred said with a grin.
Arthurs brows furrowed "o-oh" he whispered, finding that the book opened. It was like a locket... Two heart shaped photo holders were inside... One of Arthur smiling, blushing lightly and one of Alfred blowing a kiss, one eye closed in a wink. Arthur flushed "o-oh Alfred!" He said, throwing his arms around the others neck, kissing him.
Alfred kissed back, chuckling softly.
Arthur pulled back, his eyes shining. He hung his ornament, then handed Alfred his box "It's... It's not as... As amazing as this one..." He fingered his new ornament "But I hope you like it..."
Alfred kissed his temple "it'll be perfect" he said. He opened the box, carefully removing the frail thing to hold in his hand. "Arthur..." He whispered. It was a Captain America shield, the colors faded a bit so you were able to see the writing. 'To my hero, my one and only savior, my love'. Alfred's smile widened as he turned it around. It was a picture he had taken just a few months ago, during summer. The American had claimed it to be his favorite picture of his lover. He looked like a model in the picture, a lot, though Arthur would deny it, he certainly did. It was a time when Alfred had caught Arthur by surprise. They were at the beach, laughing as enjoying the calm salty ocean water. Arthur had a V-neck t-shirt on, his pale, perfect skin slowing in the sun. His sandy blonde bangs were blowing across his forehead, a few more ghosting his cheek as he looked over at Alfred. His mouth was in an 'o' and his eyes were widened slightly, looking as though he was asked something that he couldn't hear. His emerald orbs sparkled and his smooth perfect skin shone. And this picture made Alfred's heart melt. "Oh, Arthur this is perfect... Perfect..." He whispered, carefully hanging his ornament and wrapping his arms around Arthur's waist, pulling him close into a kiss.
~~HOHOHO~~
Alfred came back to reality as he felt Arthur shift under his arms. He smiled and kissed his head, gazing lovingly at his lover.
Arthur groaned softly, cuddling further into the warmth encasing him. He shivered lightly but was soon comforted by a kiss on his head. He smiled and blinked lightly looking up at his American lover. "Morning, love" he said, kissing his lips softly.
"Morning, Artie and Merry Christmas~!" He cheered.
Arthur flinched at the noise but chuckled "mmhmm, Merry Christmas, love"
"Can we give presents now!!?” He said excitedly, his eyes shining.
"Of course, let’s go"
~~HOHOHO~~
After they got dressed in their sweaters and shared a countless number of kisses and touches, the two lovebirds made their way to the Christmas tree.
They opened their presents from each other, laughed and smiled and kissed and hugged. Right now, Arthur was cleaning up the wrapping paper while he waited for Alfred, who knows what he was going.
Meanwhile, Alfred was in their bedroom. Getting his guitar ready. He was going to do it... He picked up a small green velvet box he hid under his shirts and put it in his pocket. He took a deep breath and strode out, readying himself to play.
Arthur smiled when he came out "Hello love-" he paused, looking from Alfred's nervous grin to his guitar "Love...?"
Alfred smiled and started strumming... He played a rather familiar song, slowing it down a bit and sifting singing...

"A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head...
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you...
Wake up every morning with you in my bed~
That's precisely what I plan to do~"

Alfred gave his stunned lover a loving grin, walking slowly towards him.

"And you know one of these days when I get my money right...
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life...
We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush~
But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough...~"

Alfred took a deep breath, his cheeks tinting.

"I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?""

Alfred's eyes lit up as he saw a blush take over Arthur's face, his green orbs wide and bright.

"Singing
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Oh, yeah

How many guys in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why...
You're the love of my life~"

He was slowly stepping across the living room, towards his lover.

"You know one of these days when I get my money right...
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life...
We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush~
But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough...!

[Chorus]
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"

Alfred smiled brightly.

[Bridge]
And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you,
Boy, I have you
To get right down on bended knee (Alfred started to bend down on one knee in front of Arthur, doing what he'd practiced for so long)
Nothing else would ever be better, better
That day when...

I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"

I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
(I'll get down on one knee)
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"

Got me singing
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Got me singing
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Would you marry me, baby?
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh

A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do, yeah..."

Alfred started strumming the chorus softly before he stopped, setting his guitar beside him, and just letting his voice carry out his message...

"Will you marry me...?
I swear I do mean it
Ooh will you marry... Me...?"

As Alfred ended, he had gotten out the velvet box, his blue eye shining and his lips on a loving smile.
Arthur was literally speechless. Tears streamed down his eyes. He gasped and dropped to his knees, tackling Alfred to the floor in a hug. "YES!!" He screamed, crying out with joy.
Alfred laughed, glowing as he sat up and slipped the diamond ring on his new fiances ring finger. He tilted his lovers head up, wiping away his tears and kissing his lips, laughs spilling off of their lips as they kissed and hugged beside the Christmas tree.
Alfred secretly wished he had a picture of this moment, because it would've been the most perfect... And beautiful thing he'd ever experienced.
