The store he’d picked out was the grocery store, and although it hadn’t been his original intention, Arthur decided he’d buy the ingredients needed for Shepherd’s Pie. It was the least he could do for Alfred, and it might help start their professional relationship off on the right foot. The store itself was one of those family owned markets, and Arthur couldn’t but think it fitting that the Jones brothers would strive to help small businesses. Arthur noted that although the store lacked the selection of those large chain stores, the wares were all top notch quality. When he finished gathering the ingredients, he made his way to the front, where a very calm-looking Japanese man was arranging vegetables until he spotted Arthur, then he went to his register.

“Good morning, I’m Arthur Kirkland. I’ll be working for Alfred Jones from now on… I have a letter here from Matthew detailing the situation.” Arthur held out one of the papers Matthew gave him.

The man gave a short bow. “Matthew-san already explained the details to me, don’t worry. I’ll just be putting this on Alfred-san’s tab, I presume?”

“That’s right, thank you. May I ask your name..?”

“Oh, forgive me. My name is Kiku Honda. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Arthur-san.”

“Likewise,” Arthur said with a smile. It was refreshing to meet someone who had real manners, and he knew he’d like shopping at that store already. “I look forward to working with you, too.”

“Thank you, Arthur-san. Please enjoy your day,” Kiku replied pleasantly and handed Arthur the bagged groceries.

Arthur made his way around the remaining list of stores to familiarize himself with their locations and to introduce himself to the employees, but he didn’t actually buy anything. Things like clothes and shoes he’d buy with his own money. He stared down at his pocket watch and realized it was already mid-afternoon. He faintly wondered if Alfred wasn’t lonely without him there, but then his thoughts screeched to a halt. What did it matter if his employer was lonely without him, really? He shook the blush out of his head and that’s when he spotted it. A McDonald’s. A surefire way to make Alfred happy was a burger and fries, Matthew had said. He supposed it wouldn’t hurt his appetite to eat just a little…

When he got back to the apartment, he immediately heard a door slam open upstairs and shortly after Alfred appeared.

“Do I smell what I think I smell?!” Alfred leaned over the railing on the stairs and his face lit up at the sight of the McDonald’s bag in Arthur’s hand. He slid down the banister and stared eagerly at Arthur. “That for me?”

“Y-Yes,” Arthur stammered and held out the bag. Alfred took it from his hands, then enveloped Arthur in a hug. The Englishman thought his face might explode with how hot it suddenly felt.

“Wow, Artie! You’re the best!!”

“I-It’s no big deal! I just thought you might be hungry after I was gone for so long and I-” He stopped talking when he realized that Alfred wasn’t actually listening to him anymore, as he was too busy stuffing his face in the most obnoxious way possible. It took all of Arthur’s self control not to frown in disgust.

“Whaf’s in da odder bag, Ardie?” Alfred said mid-chew.

“I beg your pardon?” Arthur asked, unable to mask his disgust that time.

Alfred gulped down his food loudly and gestured at the bag of groceries Arthur was carrying. “What’s in that bag?”

“Oh this… I well, I thought I’d make Shepherd’s Pie for dinner. It’s a meat pie we make in England.”

“Oh cool! I can’t wait to try it then! Lemme know when it’s ready, all right?”

“Of course.”

Arthur set to work immediately on what he swore would be the best meal he’d ever made. He couldn’t make Shepherd’s Pie quite like his mother used to, but he was rather good at it if he did say so himself. With the enormous kitchen and all its cookware at his disposable, he just knew he’d blow Alfred away with his culinary skills. He smirked to himself as it all came together. Sometimes he just amazed himself.

He set the table and went to retrieve his employer, who he found watching cartoons on the biggest television with the most deluxe speakers he’d ever seen. The American excitedly followed behind Arthur and eagerly waited for the Englishman to serve the food.

At first Alfred dug in with an enormous grin on his face, but as he started chewing the food, his smile vanished. He stopped chewing, looking desperate, then slowly chewed some more, then swallowed what was in his mouth.

“Eee-yuck. That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted! Did you cook with burnt, expired ingredients or something? Gah, I hope my taste buds will be all right!” He drank his glass of water in one go and continued on his tirade about how awful the food was.

Arthur, meanwhile, twitched with effort to keep his temper under control. He’d slaved over that pie and that was Alfred’s reaction?! Employer or not, that was completely out of line as far as Arthur was concerned.

“You…you ungrateful, bloody git!!!” he shouted, prompting the American to stop ranting and stare at him in shock. Arthur froze, realizing just what he’d done. Now he’d done it. He had completely stepped over the line and was most certainly going to be kicked out.

“Artie…” Alfred started to say, but Arthur turned and fled for his room. Maybe if he hid long enough, the whole thing would just blow over. Yes, that would work wonderfully. It didn’t take long for his hopes to be dashed and Alfred knocked on his door. “Artie? I’m coming in all right?”

Sure enough, the door opened and there was Alfred, with an amused look on his face.

“Listen, it’s all right that you did that. I mean, your food really did suck, but it’s okay to tell me off for that. I don’t want to be your employer that you’re scared of, you know? I think it would be cool if we were more like roommates and friends than employer and employee. It’s kinda what I wanted in the first place, so I’m glad to see you loosening up a bit.”

“Are you serious?” Arthur said, his jaw somewhere on the floor.

“Hell yeah, I’m serious. I bet we could be good buddies if you’d stop trying so hard to impress me,” Alfred said with a smirk on his face.

Arthur’s face burned and he looked away. “Well, pardon me for having some class!”

“Klahss, is it?” Alfred said with a bad imitation of a British accent, earning a scowl in response. “You know when you frown like that, you have this unibrow look going on?”

“Oh-! Sod off, you bastard,” Arthur fumed and folded his arms.

“That’s better,” Alfred chuckled and held out his hand. “So it’s a deal then? You may work for me, but we’ll still be friends.”

“I’m beginning to wonder about that…” Arthur sighed, but unfolded his arms and took Alfred’s hand to shake it firmly. “Yes, it’s a deal.”
