Ragnarok Online does not belong to me.

Of Love and Hate

"I dont bloody get it!"

The Lord Knight ranted as he stomped around in the core room of their guild castle. It was the time for the weekly war against the other guilds, and guilds after guilds had tried to break into their castle's core room. However, none of them had managed to break through the first line of defense at the castle entrance.

His guildmaster, a serious and feared Paladin, was in the core room with him, eyes closed as he leant against the wall beside the guild's emperium. He had grown accustomed to his younger partner's complaints since the first few days they knew each other, and the continuous string of complaints seems to bounce off his mental shield.

Seeing as his leader is obviously not listening to anything he says, the Lord Knight strode up to where the Paladin stood and shook him slightly. "And you are not listening to me at ALL! Why are you insisting that I stay in this forsaken room when the entire guild is out there fighting?! Even the new priest is out there helping and he does not even know the difference between Status Recovery and Cure!"

Sighing, the larger man pushed himself off the wall as he gave his guild-master-speech. "Because, we need someone to guard this place if anyone manages to breech the defense. You should know that well enough."

"Bullshit."

The Paladin raised an eyebrow at the Knight's response. "And why so?"

"No bloody guild can take the emperium from you when you are here in the core room. You do not need a helper here at all."

Another sigh. The Paladin fought the urge to knock his head on the wall. "Well then you are here to keep me company so that I wouldn't get lonely. Ok?"

"To hell with you being lonely. Thats bullcrap and you know it. I want a reason for you keeping me from fighting the war."

The wall looks real tempting now. "You, my so-mighty-second-in-command-Sir-Lord-Knight, are currently having more than twenty sets of complaints from the guildmembers for various cases where you acted silly, without common sense and basically stupidly. If I let you join the war today, the guild will spend more time glaring at you than doing their job. Blame it on your own disability to control your actions and mouth."

Silence, as the Lord Knight stared at him in disbelief. The powerful guildmaster braced himself for the approaching outburst.

"WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT? I tanked those brats up to what they are today and this is how you treat me? Ungrateful brats out there fighting and me kept out of the battle just because I make some stupid jokes occasionally?"

The dull throbbing in his head is starting to turn into a headache as the Paladin tried his best not to strangle the ranting knight infront of him. Why had he not expelled this baboon from his guild before?

An assassin appeared in the room's entrance and informed that the war had just ended. The guildmaster gave him a slight nod and requested for him to tell the guild to gather at Comodo town, and the assassin left after throwing a dirty look at the Lord Knight.

"Fine, they all hate me. Just kick me out of this damn guild, not like you would care about this anyway."

Grabbing the agitated Lord Knight, the Paladin threw him against the wall, muffling his protests with his lips as he held the struggling knight with his heavier bulk. The young man could do nothing against the strength of the Paladin as his mouth was plundered mercilessly.

The guildmaster dodged the punch when he finally pulled away, and caught the second punch with his hand.

"That is why I never threw you out, Hye, thats why you are up here beside me." He walked away from the fuming Lord Knight. "If you go down, the guild goes with you."

"Now lets go, assistant guildmaster, we have a celebration to attend."
