Arthur had had no way of stopping himself from falling in love with Alfred. To this day, he is completely defenseless against Alfred’s charm. With his sunshine smile and shiny blue eyes, golden hair, and absolutely perfect body, which is to say nothing of his warmth and affection, Arthur is helpless and hopelessly in love.
Alfred is tucked under his arm, naked and utterly sated. He sighs contentedly and nuzzles against Arthur’s chest. 
Arthur’s heart aches. “Tell me I’m the only one,” he murmurs desperately. 
Alfred yawns. “Of course you are, sweetheart,” he says dutifully, a feeble and ineffective attempt at placating Arthur’s jealousy, of which he is well aware by now.
Arthur squeezes his eyes shut, holds Alfred closer, as if that would keep the young escort there, with him. He kisses Alfred’s forehead and suffers. There is absolutely no reason for him to keep hiring Alfred for his... companionship. For access to his body in lieu of his heart, but Arthur cannot stop himself at this point.
Alfred leans up and over him. “Hey. Stay here, don’t wander into the back of your mind, okay? I like it better when you’re here.”
Arthur never knows if anything Alfred says to him is real. Well. That’s not entirely true. He is very certain that Alfred’s mewling and crying out and calling Arthur’s name as Arthur works himself inside of him is real. “Alright,” he says. “I’m here.”
Alfred looks him in the eyes. “I know you want more, you know. I know that I should cut you off for that, but I like you, Arthur. I answer your calls ‘cause I want to, even if I know better, yeah? Can that count for something?”
No, Arthur thinks. He wants everything, but doesn’t he settle for this anyway? “Yes.” He can tell his heart not to want this man, but it’s not so simple. Alfred has never been swayed by the promise of a good life with Arthur, of having money without having to sell himself, of being loved. Yet Arthur holds out hope. “Tell me you’ll be mine someday.”
“‘m yours right now, but sure. Definitely.”
It’s not even a convincing lie, but Arthur is defenseless and believes it.
