Chapter 34: Matchmaker Yuki
"Oh why did I promise that I'd spend a day with Aunt Peorth?" Yuki whined as she brushed out her hair, "I really hope I don't have to do anything too embarrassing while we're out."
"You made a promise, now you have to keep it." Urd chuckled as she watched her daughter braid her lengthy hair with the help of her angel, Regal Elegance.
"I know…but she's going to be embarrassing." Yuki sighed as she slipped on her special angel feather necklace.
The piece of jewelry had grown some in the years. Besides the feathers from Holy Bell and World of Elegance, she'd also gotten one from the angels Gorgeous Rose, Cool Mint, Spear Mint, and Racing Wind. All the angels were accounted for except for Noble Scarlet.
'I doubt I'm seeing her anytime soon.' Yuki thought as she finished getting ready.
Yuki'd gone with a pink shirt and a pair of loose blue jeans, white sandals on her feet.
"Oh Yuki! Are you ready to go?" Peorth called as Yuki got out of the room.
"Yes…" She mumbled, turning to see Lind smiling at her.
"Don't worry…Peorth will take care of you."
"She's going to drive me up the wall. You like her, you go out with her for the day!" Yuki exclaimed before Lind clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Yuki…I'd rather my feelings for Peorth not be made public." Lind whispered harshly to Yuki, a small blush on her cheeks.
Yuki smirked behind Lind's hand; now she knows what to do today.
'This'll definitely lighten up my boredom.' "All right…I won't say anything."
Lind sighed with relief, thinking Yuki would keep quiet.
"Not!" Yuki giggled as she rushed off.
"Huh? Yuki, you get back here!"
"You got to catch me first!"
"Get your little butt back here!"
Yuki swiftly turned a corner, passing Peorth.
"I thought you were ready to go Yuki?" Peorth inquired, wearing skinny jeans and a light green top.
"I wouldn't stand there Aunt Peorth."
"Huh? Why shouldn't I…oomph!"
'Just as planned.' Yuki smirked as she turned back around, chuckling lightly at the sight of Lind with her face buried in Peorth's cleavage, the pair sprawled out on the floor.
"Lind! Watch where you're going next time!" Peorth exclaimed as Lind somewhat reluctantly pulled away from her.
"My apologies." Lind muttered, angry eyes shooting in Yuki's direction.
Yuki just giggled before latching onto Peorth's back.
"Can Aunt Lind come with us too? Pretty please Aunt Peorth who is the most powerful first-class goddess in the universe?" Yuki pleaded, milking it for all her worth.
"I did want you for myself today…but what the heck! Come Lind, you must spend the day with us!" Peorth smiled as Yuki gave Lind her best puppy dog eyes.
The valkyrie squirmed a bit, but she just let it go and nodded.
'Yes! Now to get these two together!'
Lind was a bit nervous as she caught a brief gleam of mischief in Yuki's eyes, the little goddess standing innocently behind Peorth's back.
'I hope Yuki won't try anything that her mother would do.' Lind thought as Yuki smiled at her.
'Now…what to do to get these two together?' Yuki wondered as she tugged both her aunts along.
Lind was soon in loose cargo pants and a white tee, Yuki tugging on her hand. Yuki soon saw that the movie theater was playing a horror film. She knew exactly what to do.
"How about we watch a movie?" Yuki smiled as she started leading them over.
"Of course, which one did you want to see?" Peorth smiled as she stroked Yuki's head.
"I wanted to see…"
Soon they were in the theater, Yuki watching the screen without blinking an eye as a girl was stabbed through the chest. Peorth was not so calm…
"Ah! Yuki, why in the world did you want to see this?" Peorth demanded as she stared at Yuki over Lind's shoulder.
"I heard it was a good movie…" Yuki muttered, sipping her soda calmly, "Not my fault you're scared Aunt Peorth."
"I am not…"
Then the screen showed someone being dumped into a wood chipper.
"Ah!"
Peorth buried her face in Lind's shoulder, making the valkyrie blush. Yuki smirked around a mouthful of popcorn as she saw Lind put an arm around the rose goddess.
'Just as I planned…Lind will comfort Peorth and they'll be closer to becoming a couple.'
"It's all right Peorth…it isn't real."
"But it looks like it."
"Nothing but special effects, no reason to be afraid."
Peorth seemed to take comfort in Lind's words, leaning her head on Lind's shoulder, taking hold of the hand dangling over her own shoulders. Yuki smiled as she popped gumdrops into her mouth.
'Success…but they still need more of a push.'
After the movie, Yuki contemplated what to do next. Her eyes soon caught sight of an amusement park, one she knew well.
'Aunt Belldandy told me this is where Mr. Otaki took Miss Satoko a few years back…oh yes, perfect!' "How about we go to the amusement park next?"
"That sounds like fun, and hopefully I can forget that awful movie. Next time I pick Yuki." Peorth commented.
"Duly noted!" Yuki chirped before tugging the two heavenly beings inside.
Inside, Yuki was having a blast with them in the bumper cars…okay, she was really bumping them into each other.
"Hah! Got you again Aunt Peorth!"
"Oh! Just you wait little missy! I will not lose!"
Lind chuckled lightly as she tried to get Yuki herself, really enjoying the day.
'I hardly cut lose, this is just the break I needed.'
After the ride, Yuki kept bragging.
"I beat you in battle, now I beat you on a ride! How far you've fallen Aunt Peorth!"
"Next game I swear I'll beat you!"
"Please! You need a little more practice before you can beat me!" Yuki snickered.
They soon decided on a shooting game, Peorth eyeing a small stuffed white tiger with a rose in its mouth.
"Okay ladies, knock down nine bottles in ten shots and win a prize!" Announced the booth keeper, who eyed Peorth's figure.
Lind was glaring at the man; no one was allowed to do that to Peorth but her.
'Huh? Where did that thought come from?'
Yuki smirked as she saw Lind's reaction.
'That's it Lind…a little jealousy is needed. And I can't blame the guy for looking; Aunt Peorth's wearing skinny jeans and her light green top is a bit low cut.'
Yuki and Peorth tried to win, but both failed. Lind decided to try, only because Peorth looked put out from not winning the thing she wanted.
"All right Miss, just shoot down the bottles and…"
Lind already took care of the bottles, one shot left in the rifle.
"I won, and I'll take the white tiger thanks."
The man handed Lind the toy, who in turn gave it to Peorth.
"I knew you wanted it, so I figured I'd at least get it for you." Lind explained.
"Oh thank you Lind!" Peorth squealed before planting a kiss on Lind's cheek.
Lind coughed as a blush came up, Yuki smirking at her as she twirled her bangs.
'Closer…but not enough!' "Anyone up for the Ferris Wheel?"
Lind was a bit nervous. All three were in the same car, but it was the fact she was pressed against Peorth that was making her uncomfortable…or at least that's what she told herself. Yuki smiled as Lind tried to pull away from Peorth.
'A close proximity is sure to strengthen this relationship…just need to push a bit more.' "Look how high we are!" Yuki grinned as she leaned toward the window.
"We are pretty high up." Peorth smiled, leaning forward as well.
Lind gulped as Peorth's rear jutted out from her position. The valkyrie was starting to get lecherous thoughts for a moment before giving herself a pinch on the arm.
'Snap out of it Lind! You are not going to look at Peorth that way!'
As soon as they got off, Yuki smirked as she noticed Lind was unwilling to look at Peorth.
'I'll admit she's fighting it…but not for long.' "I'm feeling a little thirsty."
"Well let's get you a drink then."
Yuki was eyeing Peorth as the goddess sipped her water. Now that she thought about it…
'Oh yeah…this is good.'
Using a bit of wind magic, Yuki made Peorth spill her drink on Lind's lap.
"Oh my! I'm sorry Lind!" Peorth apologized, taking the napkins Yuki offered as she tried to clean up the mess.
Lind just stopped her hands and smiled uncomfortably.
"It's fine, I'll take care of it later." Lind laughed, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.
'For the love of Heaven! What do I have to do to get these two together?' Yuki thought irritably.
After the amusement park, Yuki suggested a bit of ice cream would be nice.
'I need some in order to cool my head so I can think of a plan! And here I thought pairing up Uncle Keiichi and Aunt Belldandy was difficult!'
Yuki was nibbling at her banana split, contemplating what to do to get Peorth and Lind together. Then she noticed Lind staring at Peorth as the goddess enjoyed a bowl of strawberry, her own bowl of chocolate untouched.
'…I think I got an idea!' "Aunt Peorth…"
"Yes Yuki?"
"I think Aunt Lind wants some of yours, she's been staring at you for a while now." Yuki smiled innocently.
"Oh? Lind, you just had to ask if you wanted some." Peorth giggled, scooping out a mouthful and offering it to the valkyrie.
"Uh…well actually…"
"Say 'ahh.'"
Lind reluctantly opened her mouth, allowing Peorth to slip her spoon into the warrior's mouth.
"There, that was good right?"
"Yeah…good." Lind mumbled around the bite in her mouth.
Peorth then dipped her own spoon into Lind's bowl.
"I let you have some of mine, it's only fair I get some of yours."
Yuki had to suppress her squeal of delight as Lind nodded dumbly, eating her ice cream with a small smile.
'Indirect kisses…you gotta love them!'
After their frozen treats, Yuki suggested a walk through the park to work off the calories.
"I need to watch out for my figure you know!" Yuki laughed as she skipped along.
"A wise choice." Peorth commented as she kept an eye on Yuki.
Lind sighed as she noticed how much fun they were having together.
'I guess I was wrong…Yuki doesn't seem to be trying anything.'
Yuki glanced back at the pair; now to really push it!
'Aunt Peorth, please forgive me for this small pain.'
The little goddess discreetly summoned up a tree root, tripping Peorth.
"Ow!"
"Peorth, are you all right?" Lind asked as she helped the goddess to her feet.
"I think so."
'Just one more little push!'
Roots soon tripped the pair, Peorth landing on Lind. Yuki slid behind a tree, watching the two.
"Lind, are you okay?"
"I'll be fine…what about you?"
"No pain…but why has stuff been happening all day?"
Lind closed her eyes as she groaned; now she knew those things weren't just accidents.
"Yuki…get out here."
Yuki stomped out, glaring at the two of them, more so at Lind.
"I can't believe this! I've been trying to get you two together all day!"
"Huh? 'Get us together?'" Peorth questioned as Lind tried to get out of the vines.
"Yes! Lind really likes you, but she's too shy to say anything! So I took it upon myself to try and set you two up!" Yuki exclaimed.
'Someone kill me now!' Lind thought desperately as she closed her eyes.
Peorth stared at Lind for a moment, letting Yuki's words sink in. Lind was just wishing the ground would swallow her up when she felt a light kiss on her lips. Her eyes flew open as she realized that Peorth was kissing her.
'I believe this is where I give the couple privacy.' Yuki thought happily as she took off.
Peorth soon broke the kiss and snuggled against Lind, making the warrior a bit uncomfortable.
"Peorth…I…I can explain!"
"No need…I admit that I've been watching you too."
"Huh?"
"After I realized that Keiichi had chosen Belldandy…I was lonely. But then I started to notice you…your strength, your determination, your kindness, everything."
"Then…you…"
"Yes. I love you Lind…I just never thought you'd love me as well."
"Peorth…you may be stubborn at times, but you have a good heart. And well…you have a nice body too." Lind admitted, trying to avoid Peorth's gaze.
"Perhaps…we can go somewhere more…private."
Lind gulped as she felt Peorth stroking her stomach, tracing her abs. Back at the temple, Yuki was just whistling happily, removing her necklace.
"Hey baby girl…have fun today?" Urd asked as Yuki skipped off to her room.
"Yeah I had fun…but I think Aunt Peorth and Aunt Lind are having more fun."
"And what makes you say that?"
"It's a secret."
