"You know, old friend," Dohko commented one day as he and Shion reclined on a pair of cushioned chairs on the sunny portico of the Pope's Temple, "I've been thinking about that antidote you had made up for the Demon Rose poison all those years ago."

"Yes?"

"Well…" Dohko began slowly, vivid images of the scene he'd inadvertently walked into last night flashing briefly through his mind, "I wonder if… perhaps it worked a little too well…"

As if on cue, a high string of giggles broke the stillness of the warm afternoon, followed by much squealing and a few uncomfortably drawn-out, muffled moans.

"Oh, not again," Shion groaned, and rising swiftly from his chair, stalked to the edge of the portico and shouted, "Aphrodite, take it to Cancer Temple or don't do it at all!!"

From the lofty vantage point the Pope's Temple was situated upon, his voice rang quite a long ways. Down in Aries Temple, Mu raised an eyebrow before turning back to his mending. In Leo Temple, Aiolia paled and began hurriedly packing up the lunch he had been about to eat. Perhaps he'd ask Shaka if he could come dine with him in his temple.

Back up on the Pope's portico, Shion had just turned back toward his seat, still fuming with righteous indignation. But before he had taken a step, Aphrodite's laconic voice came wafting up to him.

"Is it okay if we just move to Capricorn? Cancer's too far, and Shura's here, too!"

It was quickly followed by a "Shut up, Aphrodite!" that was half-hissed but still unmistakably the Capricorn Saint, while Deathmask's characteristic guffaws filled the background. Shion's face was turning many ponderous shades of purple by this time, so Dohko took the opportunity to call cheerfully, "Sure, Capricorn's fine!" and then led his sputtering friend back to his chair.

"Does that child really share the same noble soul as Albafica?!" Shion demanded when Dohko had seated him again.

Dohko patted him consolingly. "Well, look at it this way: maybe he's just got a lot of catching up to do!"

At a withering glance from Shion, Dohko laughed and tugged him into his arms where his friend clutched at his broad shoulders in surprise. He smiled down at him, tenderly this time. "And maybe we do, too."

Several things clicking into place, Shion nodded dumbly. After that day, he was much kinder to Aphrodite and his amorous ways.

The End
