A/N: We're still unpacking but I wanted to get this up. The next (and most likely last) chapter should not take very long to write. This should have been up sooner but I caught a crippling case of writer's block, and the flu, and I had a mountain of homework. And now I have a kidney infection… which really sucks.

Anissina woke up before dawn. She tried to back to sleep but it didn't work. Oh well, she began setting her plan into motion.

She started by making a list of viable scenarios, followed by a list of who she should ask/force to help with certain aspects. She laughed evilly.

Elsewhere, Gwendal awoke in a cold sweat, a feeling of dread settling deep in the pit of his stomach.

******

Anissina decided that things would go more smoothly if Cheri were onboard, especially since it had to do with Gwendal's wellbeing. She was remarkably easy to get involved and even had several fabulous ideas on how to get the two together, most of them concerning good old-fashioned jealousy.

The redhead agreed, deciding that it was better to start simple (this time) and work her way up to more drastic measures.

That was the reason she was lurking near the dining room entrance waiting for Gwendal to show up for breakfast.

Günter walked past her on his way in and bid her good morning, wondering why she was being so suspicious on such a lovely winter morning.

******

Gwendal came by a few minutes later. When he saw Anissina he tried to back away, but it was too late. She latched onto his arm, and pulled him towards the dining room. When they were almost there she let him take the lead and they walked in together.

Cheri made a big deal about how 'cute' it was and how good they looked together, as per the plan. Wolfram rolled his eyes, Conrad seemed suspicious, Günter looked like he had been slapped, and Yuri just scratched his head.

They sat down; Gwendal sighed and rubbed his temples. It was going to be a long day.

******

Günter sobbed just a little. He had always known that Gwendal and Anissina were friends (even if they weren't always on the best of terms) but he hadn't expected Gwendal to 'graciously escort' her into the room. Open the door for her sure, Gwendal was a gentleman after all, but the way she was clinging to him said more than 'childhood friend'. But surely Gwendal wasn't romantically interested in her, was he?.... Or was he? The possibility was making Günter's head spin.

"Günter?" he looked up to see a Gwendal staring at him with a slightly worried expression and cursed himself for letting his crush see him spacing out like this.

"Ah, Yes?"

"I was just saying," Anissina repeated, "that I would like your opinion on a dress that I'll be wearing to an upcoming event."

Günter thought that it was a strange request but he couldn't see the harm in it. "Of course, I can stop by after heika's lessons?"

Anissina smiled like a cat that had cornered a cute little mouse. "Perfect, I'll be expecting you," she said in a way that made it perfectly clear that she would hunt him down if he didn't show up.

As soon as breakfast was finished, Gwendal got up and headed towards his office with Anissina once again clinging to him.

******

Günter arrived right on time but paused outside the door when he heard Cheri and Anissina's squeals of delight.

"Ah! I can't believe my Gwendal's getting married!"

Anissina joined in with "I already have his wedding attire picked out! We really need to choose a date for the ceremony!"

What?! Gwendal was marrying Anissina?! Günter fainted.

******

The girls heard the thud of Günter hitting the floor and exchanged mischievous smiles. Phase two complete.

They'd killed two birds with one stone. They'd made Günter jealous and they'd gotten a head start on planning the wedding! Gwendal and Günter's wedding of course (but Günter didn't need to know that).

*******

When Günter regained consciousness, he had a slight concussion (contusion). He struggled to remember what had happened. The memories came back slowly, and he immediately wished that they hadn't returned at all.

He stood up shakily and got as far away from that room as he could, and only then did he burst into tears.

*****

Gwendal heard Günter crying and waited expecting the lavender haired man to walk in moaning about how Yuri had skipped lessons again. However, after half an hour he still hadn't appeared.

He was getting worried so he decided to go looking. He eventually found Günter curled up in a ball outside Yuri and Wolfram's room (luckily, the two were outside training).

Günter was wailing wordlessly which was never a good sign.

Gwendal kneeled down next to him. When he got no response, he sighed and put a hand on the silky purple head.

****

Günter felt someone stroke his hair. He brought his head up off his knees and took his hands away from his face to find a pair of impossibly blue eyes regarding him with concern.

"Günter, what's wrong?"

"You… you and Anissina…." He bawled.

Gwendal didn't know what he'd done wrong but one look at Günter's tear streaked face and he felt like a total asshole.

"You're going to…. You don't…."

"I don't what?" He asked softly.

"You're going to marry her" Günter wailed, "and… and you don't know that I love you!" he broke into another fit of tears.

You could have knocked Gwendal over with a feather. 'Günter… Günter loves me?' His lips formed that little smile reserved for very cute things.

Gwendal drew Günter's hands away from his eyes and cradled his face, wiping the tears away with his thumbs. He let go and stood up pulling Günter to his feet. Günter whimpered in protest but Gwendal silenced him with a gentle smile and smacked him.

Günter's hand flew up to his left cheek, which was still tingling, and he looked up at Gwendal with large doe eyes.

A/N: One chapter left to go! (And then I can start my next GwenxGun fic which will hopefully be better and more original.) Ah yes, and the last chapter will have the lemon.

A/N 2: Please review! (And I'm still accepting suggestions for the lemon)
