It was just another fine, peaceful afternoon at the Empire's biggest and most famed God's House. Crystal clear humming filled the green house, a solace to each passerby. A lilac haired bishop was tending to his beloved garden as usual. To him, there was nothing he held dearer than the beautiful flowers (or all kind of plants, for that matter), and they also adored the boyish-looking bishop most. He loved the time he spent tending to and chatting with them. Somehow, listening to their chattering soothed his heart and mind. He could relax to his heart content, no pretentious act or image to uphold, for the plants were but an honest, pure soul.
Lately though, ever since a brunette boy came to the church, all the flowers ever talked about was the boy. The lilac haired bishop couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Not that he didn't like the boy. He actually enjoyed the boy's company, and he had to admit that he often found himself thinking of how beautiful the brunette was, especially that pair of emerald green eyes that made a contrast with his dark brown hair.
"I'm starting to wonder if you all have forgotten about me..," said Labrador half jokingly while making a pouty face.
'My, my~ You're still our most beloved, Labby.' The plants seemed to be in high spirit that afternoon, 'Yeah, don't worry, Labby! The boy may be beautiful, but you're still more beautiful.'
'Like a girl..,' added some of the flowers.
The bishop just smiled in return, holding his gardening shears up, menacing aura surrounding him. The flowers, panicked, tried to change the subject immediately, 'H-have you heard? The roses around the fountain saw the boy tripped on his robe this morning.'
'O-oh? poor boy...'
'It was quite a fall, they said,' at that, the flowers started to giggle.
"Now, now. It's not nice to laugh at someone else's misfortune." The lilac haired bishop chuckled and continued humming and tending to the still-gossiping plants.
'You just chuckled...'
Their pleasantries were interrupted by the sound of a door to the green-house opening and closing. Labrador turned around to find the most talked brunette coming in and walking towards him. When the boy was close enough, Labrador noticed that the brunette boy was completely drenched from head to toe. The older man was entranced by the boy. Even like this, the brunette still looked charming. More attractive, actually. Had he a wet-hair fetish?
Labrador's trance was broken by the flowers' chuckles.
'Seems like our princess- prince's heart's finally stolen.'
'Well, well. It's about time, I guess.' That made Labrador's heart skipped a beat, but he tried to ignore their teasing.
"Teito-kun, are you alright? What happened?" There was a worried look on the bishop's beautiful boyish face. He started towards Teito who was notably shivering and had his arms around himself. It was a pretty cold day despite the bright sunlight. The poor boy seemed to be pissed off by something. Probably the cause of his current condition.
"Labrador-san, how the hell could that pervert become a bishop?!" A series of complains started pouring out of the brunette.
"There, there. Did he do something (bad) again?" The lilac haired bishop asked. "You bet! That perverted bishop dropped his porn magazine around the fountain!"
"And...?" Labrador tilted his head slightly, smiling like always.
The annoyed look on Teito's gone and replaced by a slight blush.
"I slipped on it... and fell to the fountain..," muttered the drenched boy sheepishly, drawing a chuckle from the lilac haired bishop.
"You sound so sure Frau's the one who dropped it." Labrador continued humming and went to the little gazebo to pour some tea.
"Who else would bring such book to a church?! Besides, that pervert's name's on the cover!" Teito's annoyed look came back and he started harrumphing. The lilac haired bishop just chuckled.
"Well, Teito-kun, you should go back to your room and change your clothes. It's pretty cold today. You don't want to get sick with the exam coming up," said Labrador as he passed a cup of warm tea to the shivering boy. Teito wrapped his hands around the warming cup. It gave him some warmth and helped calm the shivering.
"Uh, I thought I would stay here for a while to cool my head and relax..." Teito's words trailed away as he saw Labrador taking off his bishop robe, revealing his slender yet firm build. The brunette was made speechless by the beautiful sight. He had always thought that the lilac haired bishop was beautiful, even as a guy. Labrador actually looked rather feminine (Though, he probably should never mention that to the bishop...).
Teito broke away from his trance when Labrador draped his robe over Teito. His face was just inches away from the bishop's chest and he could smell Labrador's usual sweet scent. It relaxed him, and never failed to make him blush ever so slightly for some reason he didn't quite understand (yet).
Now the boy felt rather hot and embarrassed. Nevertheless, he managed a shy smile, "T-thank you..."
Labrador's heart skipped and started to beat faster. He felt a blush creep over his cheeks and then did something totally unexpected out of impulse. He cupped Teito's face with his hands and placed a light kiss on the edge of Teito's lips.
The brunette's eyes widened, his mind went blank. The lilac haired bishop pulled away after taking one long breath.
"Teito-kun smells like milk." The ever so charming smile on his face.
A blush slowly crept up Teito's face until his face, to the tips of his ears, turned a bright red. His heart was pounding so violently, his mind jumbled up. He even failed to retort at that last remark.
