AmericaxReader ~ Friends With Benefits

"Run, run, run... YES!" Alfred cheered victoriously while fist pumping the air and jumping up from his spot on the couch. You shrieked in surprise and nearly dropped your book. Annoyed by his loudness, you huffed. The American had been watching nothing but football during the past couple of hours and he would shout every time his favorite team would score. You were staying at his place tonight, considering your house was kind of a mess because of the recent renovations it had gone through.

"Can you keep it down? Jesus, I'm trying to read!" You complained while burying your nose deeper into the pages of your thick novel. He turned to you and pouted.

"But, they scored-"

"I don't care if they scored or not, calm yourself down." You hissed a bit too harshly at him. He frowned and sat back down next to you.

"Well, somebody's being cranky tonight."

"I'm not cranky, Al!" He laughed and messed your hair up, irritating you even more than he was before.

"Yeah, you kind of are. When was the last time you got laid, _________?"

"ALFRED JONES!" He laughed even harder and raised his hands up in defense.

"I'm just teasing you, chill out!" You froze and looked down at your hands, a tiny blush threatening to make its way onto your cheeks.

Truth was, he was partially right. You hadn't dated anyone in a while and being alone for a long time was starting to have second effects on you. And keeping it to yourself only worsened the situation. Not to mention your overwhelming hours of work during the day and the little free time you had to yourself.

"No, you're right. I haven't gotten laid in a while." He turned to you a bit surprised at this sudden confession.

"And it's starting to drive me nuts, to be quite honest! Sometimes I wish I could just have more time to start dating other people again, you know? Since me and Lovino broke up, I haven't been with anyone else." You set your novel aside and buried your face in the palms of your hands. You weren't crying or anything, just simply tired. Tired of not being able to get into a new relationship.

Alfred stared at you in admiration. Never would he had thought that you actually felt this way. And another part of him empathized with you. Because he too was a bit in the same situation, since he had broken up with his last girlfriend. He wondered if he should tell you like you told him. Alfred made up his mind after a small pause of silence.

"I know how you feel, _________. I'm just like you." He slumped deeper into the couch next to you and sighed. You raised your head so your gazes could meet and you let a small smile creep onto your face.

"At least I'm not alone anymore." He smirked and patted your back.

"You can say that again."

There was another short awkward pause before Alfred straightened his back and tapped your shoulder lightly.

"Hey, ___________?" You turned to him again and nodded.

"Yeah?"

"Uh, well you see... Since we're both single and... pretty close friends... And we both haven't slept with anyone in a while and..." He fiddled with his fingers nervously and you noticed a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face. You took his hands into yours and gave him a reassuring smile.

"You were wondering if we could sleep together, weren't you?" He gulped and nodded.

"B-But only if you want to! I mean, if you d-don't feel like it then that's totally fine with me! And it w-would only be a one night thing! Then we'd go back to being f-friends!" He was stuttering uncontrollably, which wasn't in his nature. But you had to admit, the idea wasn't that bad... Alfred was a pretty good looking guy and you weren't a virgin, so what did you have to lose?

But then things would be awkward and uncomfortable afterwards... No, I can't do this.

You looked up at his face and met his ocean blue eyes.

But then again, I have nothing to lose...

"Alright, Al. I'll do it with you." His expression went from shy to shocked. Did you really just say 'yes' to him?

"Really?"

"Really. But this stays between us, okay? Nobody can know about this. Not even Arthur!" You pleaded, not wanting people to think bad stuff about you two. The American nodded and placed a hand on his heart.

"I swear, I won't tell!" You shook hands on it and sighed in relief, knowing that your secret was now safe between you two.

You both eyed each other without saying a word, wondering if the other was thinking the same thing. Although it didn't take long before you grew impatient and leaned over so you could kiss him. His lips felt warm, welcoming. You liked the feeling, so you kissed him deeper. Alfred did not tense up, but seemed rather more relaxed when you were kissing him. He snaked his hands around your waist and ever so gently pulled you closer to his body. Both of your lips moved in synchronization, making sure to not leave a single spot untouched. Your breath grew stronger and deeper, so did the loud beating of your hearts.

You started to feel all tingly inside. You knew what that feeling was, and you weren't supposed to be feeling it right now.

Remember, it's only one night...

But the feeling only grew more intense. To change your thoughts, you pulled away from Alfred and pulled your top off, revealing your bra to him. You were going to be having sex together anyways. Might as well start getting undressed. The young American bit his lower lip and tried to control himself, not wanting to tackle you to the ground and kiss you all over. When you threw your top away, he cupped your cheeks and pulled you in for another hot kiss, very much liking the feeling of your lips together.

"___________..." He panted.

You froze and opened your eyes. He smiled and pecked your forehead.

"Thank you. You're my best friend, you know that?" His deep and gentle laugh made his chest tingle with different vibrations. You rested your head on it and nodded lightly.

"Yeah, I know."

Although now I kind of wish we were more than that...
