#both of them are fine with it cuz theyve known each other for so long

[us-ugay]

exactlyyyy they 100% just go back and forth between building up this tension and then the moment an opportunity opens up they hook up and then go oh god wait and end up in just a cycle of that for waaaaay too long. They’re kinda obsessed w each other in so many ways and eventually they figure it out bc I love them being in love but they’re both very proud, it defs takes time for one of them to finally cave.

I also looove the idea of it being a slow build up tho, like the bird comparison is perfect. And as they realize it it just gets worse bc they’re trying to compensate for their feelings and convince themselves otherwise but it’s not working and they’re MAD about it. Plus they don’t want anyone at work to even start to speculate bc it would be mortifying and also uncomfortable ESP if not reciprocated.

I guess I should start signing these lol tumblr doesn’t allow asks from side blogs bc they hate me in particular but my hetalia side blog that I literally never use bc idk is @aflred lol

wait is this the love is war anon or office anon gotta make sure im not being a dummy and mixing yall up 😭

man those two will actively be on a dinner date at the fanciest restaurant in town on a weekend w wine and the whole works and still will be like “bro its just a work lunch bro im just flexing on my work rival bro we’re planning things on a corporate ladder bro it aint anything like that 😤😤😤” and sarah in accounting will walk by and be like “wow arthur ive noticed you and alfred hanging out a lot more! how fun ☺️ do yall have much in common?” just being friendly and even if theyre mortified at the thought of being caught hooking up that still doesnt stop them from taking unnecessary dick measuring competition trips to each others desk and arthur is just so defensive and snaps back that “god no i dont even like him i just have to talk business w him everythings busy right now he chews loud anyways god”

and of course alfred hams it up on the (work appropriate) smack talk because while arthur cant gossip n bitch about him to others cuz hes the golden boy of the office, he sure as fuck can tease about how uptight arthur is so he lays it on real thick about how much arthur nags at him in emails n stuff

which of course does the opposite of what they want and only fuels the office chatter further so now behind their backs theyre known as the old married couple with how much they like to complain about one another lmfaoooo

anyways personally between them the cycle keeps speeding up and up to where its now the 3 weekend in a row where theyve hooked up and swore theyd never do it again and never bring it up and its post nut where theyre cuddled up ass naked in bed and finally shit snaps and arthurs like “..... ok so clearly we’re an item right? is there any point to making ourselves look stupid and pretending otherwise?” and alfreds like “😤😤😤 what the FUCK do you mean OF COURSE not- 😳🤨😬😒😔 (<- going thru all stages of grief) yeah ok fine”

but OF COURSE even when they agree to dating theyre still wanting to keep it casual and not bring it into work so they act 100% the same
