“___,” Alfred drawled as he lay in bed.  You tried desperately not to roll your eyes.  Usually the only time he ever whined like that was when he was trying to get something out of you.  Resentfully grabbing your hairbrush, you turned toward your husband in mild frustration as you began to brush your hair.

“Alfred, it’s 9:30 in the morning.  Can’t you wait until noon to start asking me for things?”

“Not when it’s this important!”

“What could be more important than relaxing during the morning hours?”  Your blonde husband shot you a dumb look, as if the answer was downright obvious.

“Food.”  Honestly, regardless of your knowledge of his love of food, you were a bit taken aback by his response.

“What?”

“___, we’ve been married for a while now,” Alfred stated condescendingly as he clasped his hands together.  “Usually within the first week of marriage, the wife makes the man breakfast in bed.  I’m cashing in on that debt today.”

“Debt?” you questioned, not quite believing your ears.

“Yep,” Alfred stated triumphantly.  “You owe me.”  You couldn't help but scoff at him.

“Yeah, nothing.”  Your husband shot you the puppy-dog look, but you brushed off his attempt at making you change your mind.  “Look, I am not making you breakfast in bed particularly because I don’t want you making a dinner table out of our bed.  You get crumbs and food stains all over the living room couch enough for me to realize that allowing you to eat in here will never happen.  I refuse to sleep in a trash can.”

“But-”

“In fact, the only way you’d get breakfast in bed would be if you slept in the kitchen.”  Alfred’s puppy dog face turned into a look of thought.  You simply ignored his change in expression and set your hairbrush down on your dresser before heading toward the door.  “Now if you want to eat anything at all, breakfast will be done in a half hour.”

Alfred continued to sit on the bed for a little while longer after you’d left.  It wasn’t until a couple of minutes later did the young man walk out of the bedroom with a smirk on his face.

Throughout the day, your husband kept bringing up that you were going to make him breakfast in bed.  The action was pretty playful at first, but over time it just became annoying.  You had a feeling that he had some sort of mischievous plot under his sleeves.

That night, when you both went to bed, he was still standing by his statement.

“I will get you to make me breakfast in bed,” he said cockily as you joined him in bed.  You rolled your eyes and covered yourself up with the comforter.  Snuggling further into the sheets, you rolled your body over, so that your back was facing Alfred, and then closed your eyes.

“Okay, well good luck with that.”

“Yep, I have a feeling that you’ll be cooking it up for me tomorrow.”  Alfred began daydreaming of the wondrous plethora of food that you’d make for him come early morning.  He relaxed himself into a comfortable position with his arms placed underneath his head, as if he were lying down beneath the shining sun.  Despite his utter happiness and tranquility, you were slightly fuming at his cockiness.

“What is that supposed to mean?” you questioned, eyes squinting at the man over your shoulder.  Without looking at you, he explained even further what was going to happen tomorrow.

“Just so we’re clear, I want bacon, eggs, and pancakes.”  Silence consumed the room as you stared at Alfred.

“Dear?” you finally asked.

“Yes?”  Looking at your husband, you took note of the shit-eating grin that he wore. 

Irritated, you shouted at him to, “Go to bed!”  With a laugh, Alfred finally complied.

Soon it was the next day, the sun’s bright light gleaming across the horizon.  Gently, sunlight creeped across the floor of your bedroom and made its way over to you.  Upon reaching your sleeping form, it kissed your face and gradually woke you up.  As you gently fluttered your eyes open, making sure to squint them from the sun’s bright rays, you released a yawn and stretched your stiff limbs while keeping a strong grip on the warm mound next to you.

“Good morning Alfred.”  Opening your eyes, you realized that what you were cuddling was actually just the bunched up bed comforter.  “What?”  You quickly shot up into a sitting position.  Come to think of it, when you looked around the room, Alfred wasn’t anywhere in sight.  Glancing over at your bedside clock, you took note of the time to be 8:00 in the morning.  “Alfred never gets up this early unless he has a reason to,” you thought.  “And since he doesn't work today, he has absolutely nothing planned.”  Where the Hell was he?!

You quietly scooted off the bed and grabbed your robe from your closet.  Making your way out of the bedroom and around the house, you couldn’t find Alfred anywhere.  It was only when you walked into the kitchen did you come face to face with your husband lying on the dining table with a pillow and a blanket.  He appeared as if he’d camped out in that location for hours.  But wasn’t he in bed with you when you’d fallen asleep?  What the Hell!

“Mornin’ sunshine!” he greeted you, pearly white teeth locked in an all-knowing grin and glasses sitting askew on the bridge of his nose.  “So about that breakfast in bed…”

Alfred’s determination everybody!  Give him a round of applause!

I’ve wanted to write this one-shot for a while now (a.k.a. a year).  Albeit it came out a bit longer than I had previously planned, but oh well.  It has finally been written!  Praise the Lord! :iconfinallyplz:

Oh and, uh, Alfred’s information is not real, so wives making their husbands breakfast in bed after marriage…yeah, that usually only ever happens on either the man’s birthday or else Father’s Day.  Alfred’s so full of shit.
