Twisted Wishes, the Commandant and the Vigilante
Chapter Two – Of Pancake and Ribbon
Someone knocked the door again making both Yuri and Flynn flinched and changing their gaze.
"What I should say?" Yuri carefully asked while eyeing the door.
"Um...please come in. Well you know it already why don't you act so?" Flynn placed both hands on his waist but he quickly checked his body and shrugged when he felt light than usual. He sighed. I should be used with Yuri's light body right now. He is thin! This is most likely his eating habit making him like now. Eating those sweet thing with improper nutrient balance sure make something no good. Surprisingly, he is rarely sick!
"Damn it, Flynn. I always see you do that but I never!" Yuri hissed and rubbed his neck, starting to felt uncomfortable with the outfit. Man, this is so tight! Why Flynn wear like this everyday? Doesn't he get sick with this?
"Shhh! Can you stay quiet and calm down. It's okay I am here to help." Flynn quickly patted Yuri's shoulder and smiled a bit.
Yuri sighed and nodded. "It is weird to see myself consoling...whatever. Please come in." He ordered while looking at the door with intense gaze.
The door slowly opened and showed a maid with food tray. Both men sighed and walked to the maid.
"Thanks for the food." Yuri casually spoke and smiled. He looked at Flynn and the latter nodded. The maid left after she placed everything on Flynn's working table, or not. For that moment, it was Yuri's table.
Yuri stared at the food and grinned. The breakfasts were consisting of toast with several small jars of fruit jams and butter, pancakes and two cups of coffee. He looked at Flynn with a smile.
"There are two sets of breakfast here. Did you ask them to bring extra today?"
"I already told them that every weekend to prepare extra. Didn't you realize it sooner?"
"Really? Very thoughtful. I am flattered." Yuri smirked making the raven quickly looked away.
Flynn snorted. "Stop mocking. Let's hurry and I want to teach you about my work."
"Fine, fine hey wait a moment...why I should do your work now? I thought you don't want to burden me with your insanely papers and documents." The blonde blinked and stared at the table with breakfast.
Flynn faked a cough. "We must act like real one. You don't want everyone to know about our situation right now, I think?" He looked at the closed door. I don't want Sodia catch on us if we don't act properly. It would be disaster if she really found something wrong on both of us. I must play Yuri very well too.
"I don't really care much about it actually."
"Yuri!"
"Okay, okay! I worry...a bit only." Yuri groaned and walked to Flynn's working table. He helped himself with the pancakes and poured the honey on the top of it. He continued pouring until Flynn stopped beside him.
"You pour too much. Left some honey for me."
"You don't eat something sweet."
"But I want it."
"...take mine." After some thoughts, Yuri passed his full filled honey pancake to his best friend.
"What?"
"On second thought, I think I want to have some toast." Yuri pushed his plate of pancakes to Flynn. He quickly helped himself with the toast and jams. Flynn frowned at Yuri's working hands as he saw his best friend overly spread jams on it.
"Uh, Yuri those are just too much. You know, on one slice of bread, you spread everything. I mean every spreadable material here, including honey."
Yuri stopped and looked at his work. "Don't worry I will do fine."
Flynn shrugged and pulled the long hair so it will stay behind his neck. "Your hair is just so long. Can I tie it with something?"
"Don't you dare to put anything on my hair." Yuri hissed.
"Practically, this is my hair now." Flynn pulled a strand of raven hair and admired it. It is so soft; did he use any conditioner on it? I will search at his room later.
Yuri quickly placed down the plate with surprisingly fine made toast. He sent a sharp glare to Flynn who was eating the pancake.
Flynn shrugged. "So that is how I look when I am mad. Pretty scary."
"This is not funny."
"Calm down, we will figure out about this. For now, let's eat our breakfast first."
"Don't put anything on my hair."
"You are still on that? Fine I won't do anything. Happy?"
"Yeah, yeah...I am not taking my eyes from you starting from now." Yuri gave his warning and took a seat before taking his toast.
Flynn ignoring his best friend slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed the sweet taste of honey. "I never thought the pancake is so nice and sweet. I kind like it."
"You are never fond of sweet thing, Flynn."
"Really?" Flynn slowly opened his eyes and stiffened. Apparently, Yuri was adding some pepper on his toast. "Um, Yuri? I think that are just too much for a real breakfast. What are you really trying to make?"
Yuri halted his movement and quickly placed the pepper container. He groaned while smacking his head. "Screw this! Now I really act like you! And you! Have my breakfast!" He pointed to calm Flynn who was eating the pancake.
"You were giving me these." Flynn casually stated and gasped. "No way that I am eating like you now."
"Yes it is...and this is no good. I want to have some pancake." Yuri quickly stood up and walked to Flynn's table, preparing some pancake in another plate. His hand trembled slightly as he doubted what he wanted to add as topping. "Since our body is switched, our trend of eating also changed. I don't like it." He grabbed the honey cup and pour on the pancake. After done preparing his breakfast, he quickly sat down on the same place. Good, I managed to avoid those Flynn's weird eating style. How come he can eat those jams and pepper on the same toast?
Flynn shrugged. "It is scary..." He put another slice of pancake in his mouth. I never thought I eat something like that. Wow, my taste but must be screwed that bad already, I don't think so. Mm, this pancake is good. I should enjoy Yuri's eating habit then. This pancake is quite nice and I wonder about the other food he so fond off.
They ate in silence until Flynn placed down the plate.
"I think a ribbon sure fit your hair very well, Yuri."
"Flynn!"
Flynn checked everything on his table and crossed his arms. Every papers, files and books were in proper order on the wooden made table. The stationeries and a stack of blank papers were on the right place. The plates and cups of their breakfast were in the tray, which came together earlier. "Everything is good here. You don't have to do anything." He smiled, happy with the arrangement and looked at bored Yuri.
"I thought there will be a load of works here." Yuri casually stated and looked at the table.
Flynn shrugged. "It will be coming soon. Sodia always come here during this time, giving some reports and the day schedule."
"Then, what are we suppose to do now? Since she is still not coming here and what I suppose to do when she is around?" Yuri wandered around the room, and stopped at one of the windows.
"Not we, you." Flynn quickly grabbed one of Yuri's arms and dragged his best friend to the table. He pushed Yuri to the chair. "Sit here and do something."
"Do what?" Yuri annoyingly asked while rubbing his arm.
Flynn's gaze averted to the stack of blank paper. He pointed to it and Yuri's gaze followed. "See that?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"Do anything with it, drawing or writing or whatever. To stall the time until she come."
"Flynn, you are not telling me that all these times you did this?"
"Not every time. I usually check on my previous works, check on the budget and reading something, but knowing you, Yuri, I know you will be bored easily and shout something about don't understand it or so."
Yuri snorted. "Try me."
Flynn quickly pulled a file containing the imperial knight's last month budget. He passed the file to Yuri and smirked. "Try this."
"Don't sound so cocky now." Yuri smirked back and opened the file. "Let's see..." He slowly scanned the content and his expression changed. He also muttered something incoherent under his breath and flipped another page.
Flynn tapped his foot and looked at frustrated Yuri with amused expression. He smirked and pulled the file from his best friend's hands. "Just admit it, Yuri; you don't understand anything in here."
"Tch...At least I could read something."
"Care to explain it?"
Yuri looked away, "I just can read the title only." He muttered softly and quickly smacked both of his hands on the table. He also stood up. "What did you expect from me to understand those numbers and the lines here and there and what else in there?" He stopped and started figuring out something else from the file.
"It is a ledger." Flynn waved the file.
Yuri snorted. "Give me something else at least with readable content." He sat down and slouched in his seat.
Flynn sighed. "Not giving up this time, huh? Let's see." He placed down the budget file and pulled out another file from his finished work. It wasn't a file but a book. He read the title and frowned as Yuri snatched the file from him. "Hey, I don't even read it yet!"
"I don't want you to play any trick this time." Yuri scanned the book cover. "Daily report, Commandant Flynn Scifo." He blinked and looked at Flynn. "Oh, so our commandant also got his own report."
"Yuri...please give me back that book." Flynn with his frustrated expression casually asked his best friend the book.
The blonde smirked and opened the book. "Nah...This is far more interesting compared with the first one. Let's see...Huh?" Yuri blinked and flipped another pages and another. After a few moments of flipping the book, he closed it and threw it on the table.
Flynn raised his hidden eyebrows, amused with the outcome. "What is the matter?"
"It is a blank book. Nothing to read there." Yuri snorted and looked away. "I thought there is something fun to read at least."
"So that you can mock me all day long." Flynn picked the book and checked it. He grinned and laughed softly.
"What is so funny about your blank diary?"
"This is the new book for new month so there is nothing here. I need to use it next month."
"Tch...So, this month book is still around huh?" Yuri straighten himself and looked at the bunch of files.
"..." Flynn quickly looked away. I wonder where I put that book last time. Last night I don't even bother to touched it at all.
"Ah haa, so that is the look on my face when I can't hide anything."
Flynn sighed. "Stop thinking about that book, Yuri. Well, let's focus on our real job now." For now, I should focus on how to make Yuri act like me, and I should worry about that book later.
Yuri pulled a blank paper and a wooden pencil. He started to write down something making Flynn focused on him now.
"So, you get it now." Flynn added.
"What else I can do until your second in command come? I'm bored."
"Sorry Yuri."
"It's okay, nothing to be sorry about." The blonde nodded and wrote more.
"You are sure calm today, Yuri." Flynn flipped his now bangs and shrugged. Oh, I wish I could cut this hair now. This is so distracting.
"I'm not...It's just that you are around I can stand still like this."
"But you are sitting down right now." Flynn grinned and mocked.
"Damn it!" Yuri slammed his face on the table and sickly groaned. "Damn it Flynn...don't sound like me so much...First our eating style and now our talking style?"
"I don't see anything weird there. You are just thinking about it too much." Flynn already walking around and stopped at the window where his best friend usually came in.
"Yeah, yeah..."
"And stop worrying, it is not like you worrying over something."
"Fine, fine..."
"And now, I should teach you how to deal with Sodia when she comes in."
"Ugh..." Yuri slowly raised his head and blinked his eyes.
"Yuri! You are bleeding!" Flynn quickly jumped from the windowsill and stopped beside his bleeding friend.
"Huh?"
"My head! How hard did you smack my head on that table?"
Yuri slowly closed his eyes. "Stop shouting Flynn...I'm dizzy...everything is spinning." He shook his head.
"Stop moving! I will help you."
"Sure, sure..."
"Tch...This is getting awful from time to time...I wonder if we both never get our own body back."
"Flynn...I can feel something flowing on my nose."
"What...wait a moment, I just found the box."
Flynn quickly opened the first aid box and cleaned the cut on Yuri's now body. The raven groaned and relieved as he found the cut was not deep as he thought. It will leave with scar, I can tell it. I need to ask Lady Estellise aid later. Flynn sighed and applied some antiseptic on the cut making Yuri winced.
"That's hurt!"
"Shut up and stay still." Flynn sighed again. "This is so not like you, Yuri."
"This swapping body does change me, a lot." Yuri groaned and sighed. So this is what Flynn feels when he is worry too much...How come he could handle this very well? And I nearly cracked his skull.
"You are thinking too much. I will call Lady Estellise so she can patch up it completely."
"Flynn! Don't go yet..."
"What? I need to make sure the bleeding stop for sure."
"It is still bleeding? Whatever, just don't go for now. Stay here."
"For what?"
"First, I don't want to hear myself call Estelle as Lady Estellise and second, you must stay under my gaze this whole time for the whole moment until we change back."
"Ah...I kind get the first one but the second one?"
"I don't think you are not going to do anything with my hair."
"You are still on that?"
As the both men still arguing over something simple, there was knock on the door. Yuri stiffened as well as Flynn. Both changed their glance before focused on the thick wooden door.
"Sir? Are you there?"
Sodia!
That is pretty fast. Now, what I should do. Wait, I never worry on something like that...or not for now...
