A/N: Uh...gender-swap? Guilford X male Cornelia?! And a male Euphemia?!! WHAT THE FU-
'This is bad...'
"...Guilford?"
'I can't believe I've fallen in love...with a man!!'
"Guilford!"
'And...even worse...that man is...that man is the person I've sworn to protect with my life...and that very person is a TOTAL ASSHOLE, to boot...'
"GUILFORD, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!!!"
Gilbert G.P. Guilford snapped out of his monologue, and realized Prince Cornelius was glaring furiously at him.
Grinning sheepishly, Guilford rubbed the back of his head, and replied, "Ahh, uh, sorry, my prince. I was...just thinking about something...you were saying?"
Cornelius put his hands on his hips and sighed. "Be thankful that I've allowed you to stay my knight for all these years..."
"...Yes, sir..." Guilford bowed, feeling deeply embarrassed with himself.
With his violet crew cut hair, fiery temper, tall stature and no-nonsense attitude, Prince Cornelius was quite an imposing figure. He was both feared and highly respected throughout all of Britannia, and no one dared to get in his way. Whenever he wanted something, he usually got it. His only blatant weakness was his almost-incestuous love for his younger sibling, Eophemio. However, since Eophemio was also a prince and heavily protected by his older brother, it was basically impossible to possibly break down Cornelius's almighty willpower.
Of course, that information has nothing to do with the current situation.
'I wonder if he likes chocolate...or vanilla...' Guilford pondered to himself as he followed Cornelius down the long hallway.
"GUILFORD!!!" Cornelius suddenly exclaimed, coming to a halt.
Guilford gasped and he snapped out of his daydream. "Y-Yes, my prince?!!"
"You seem to be quite...out of it today," Cornelius remarked, "Maybe I've been working you too hard...do you think so?"
"Uh...I...I feel fine, my prince...really..."
Cornelius shook his head, unconvinced. "No, I think you're heavily distracted by something...but what?"
At this moment, Guilford realized he had two options:
1) Lie about his problem and go on claiming to be 'fine'.
2) Admit his love for the purple-haired bastard.
Either option had a chance of leaving him severely disfigured, especially the second one, but Guilford knew that the only way to get these painful feelings off his chest was to just come out and proclaim the love he has for the prince.
"...You wanna know why I'm so distracted? Is that what you want to know?" the bespectacled man asked with a heavy sigh, a shadow casting over his face.
Cornelius nodded. "Yes!! Tell me what the problem is, Guilford!!!" he demanded.
Placing two large hands upon Cornelius' shoulders, Guilford took in a deep breath, and then exclaimed, "...IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU."
Cornelius felt his cheeks glow bright red. "Uh...what did you just say, Guilford?"
"I...I love you, Prince Cornelius..."
"G...Guilford...I...I don't know what to say...or even think...I mean...you...you're...in love...with...with...with...me?"
Guilford nodded.
Cornelius swallowed a large accumulation of saliva in his throat, and stared down at his feet. "No...no way..."
"Forgive me for doing this...my prince...I've wished to do this for a very long time..."
"...Huh...?"
Guilford cupped Cornelius's chin in his hand, raised the prince's head, and then pressed thier lips together in a passionate embrace.
As he watched the two men kiss from behind the corner, only one thought ran through Prince Eophemio's mind:
'THAT'S TOTALLY GAY.'
Of course, he was dating Suzaku, so he wasn't exactly one to be talking...
