Title: An Unorthodox Plot

Author:

Theme: 28. Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou?

Rating: G

Disclaimer: If I owned it, would I be waiting desperately for vol. 7?

"Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" the actor belted from his perch in the scenery.

I think something was lost in translation, but I don't speak English, so I'll take what I can get.

"Deny my father and refuse thy name;"

I found it a little sad that I saw Cesare in Juliet, battling his father at every step and wrestling himself out of his family's shadow. Did that make me Romeo then?

"Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

Ah, our roles are now reversed, Juliet reflects me, and Cesare is the one doing all the work, for once. That seems a little more realistic though; I mean, those who see Cesare at a weak woman are going to get a shock. Mind you, I would probably get a silent treatment if Cesare saw me comparing us to characters in a love play, and an English play. An 'uncouth' language he calls it. But it's stupid anyways, comparing us to them. There really aren't that many parallels, really.

"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not Montague.
What's Montague?"

Damn, another parallel, Cesare and I shouldn't have met, he being noble and me a peasant, and him being in a church man and me a murderer. But, like them, we've come together and found something in each other that makes it all right to know one another, even with the different labels. I doubt that any force in the world could sanction… But is it so wrong to love someone; even if it is the wrong person? If I asked a clergyman, he'd probably say that either I or Cesare was temptation, and we should fight it; probably me, seeing as Cesare is one of them after all. Who am I trying to fool though? I'm nothing to Cesare, not really, just someone to get him what he wants and where he wants to go. The… is just a perk of having someone like me dangling off his arm. I'm surprised he hasn't abused my loyalty yet.

"I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo."

Maybe I am Romeo after all, falling over himself for his Juliet, or my Cesare. Although I think I'm more than that pansy, I have shed my name for Cesare after all. Every time he asks me to kill, I lose Chiaro and get to be Michelotto, the legend. He always seems so reluctant to like the legend though, which is a little odd. After all, it's a lot safer for both of us if I'm the masked legend, it keeps Chiaro safe, it keeps Cesare safe, and it adds a bit more power to Cesare, to be able to control the famous assassin. But I think he like Chiaro better, I don't know why, I would have thought someone like Cesare would like the cold-hearted Michelotto better, but maybe… No, I'm just setting myself up for a fall. That's the problem with Cesare; he only confuses the people close to him. Everyone else sees him as the bastard son of the Pope. But I wish I knew where I stood with him; maybe then Chiaro would get the courage to try to get a little closer to his Juliet.
