The next
morning, during breakfast, Xelloss announced to the rest of the Gabrieves, that
he was going to marry Filia. Filia's parents both happily agreed to it. Her
father happily got up and went up to Xelloss and gave him a huge hug. "I am
glad to be your father-in-law. You will always be my son!"
Unfortunately
for Valgaav he walked in at moment, and heard that last sentence. He looked at
the whole family with a puzzled look. Gourry noticed him.
"Oh! Val! You're
here early! You hungry??" Gourry got up quickly and offered him to sit down.
"Thanks Gourry."
Valgaav took the seat and sat down still looking puzzled. "So…what's going on?"
Filia's mom put
down a big bowl of rice for Valgaav before sitting back down. "Eat dear. You
look half starved. We're just celebrating how Xelloss finally went through to
ask Filia the question."
Valgaav looked
even more bewildered. "The question…?"
"Xelloss finally
asked me to marry him!" Filia beamed with such happiness.
Valgaav choked
on the rice he had at that moment. He quickly regained his composer. "Oh. I
see. Well congratulations you two. Xelloss treat her well."
"I always treat
Filia well," Xelloss said testily.
"Just telling
you again." Valgaav smirked a bit then went silent. There was an uneasy
atmosphere after that little scene. Thanks to Gourry, who asked for more rice,
the tension soon left with everyone sweatdropping at his 8th bowl of
rice.
After breakfast,
in Xelloss' little room, Filia and Xelloss decided to talk. They got into a
comfortable position. Xelloss sat against the wall, while Filia sat next to him
and leaned next to him.
"So when should
we have the wedding?" Filia asked, as she was playing with his hands.
"Well…I was
thinking if we could hold it off…" Xelloss trailed off.
Filia looked at
him. "Why? Don't you want to get married right away?"
"I do hon. I do.
But I was thinking that we should wait at least a year or two, till we've saved
enough money. Now that I am working for Gaav, I should be earning much more
money than before. Still I would like to wait till we've saved enough money for
our house and other stuff." Xelloss rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
She got up and
sat up straight. She stared at the wall opposite of her for a while. "I think
you're right. If we do get married now, we'll probably just be asking for
poverty. I know that you probably don't have much money now, because of that
ring. So we should save money and wait. I am with you Xelloss. I'll do whatever
you want."
"I'm glad you
are willing to wait." Xelloss smiled.
"For you, it's
worth it!" Filia leaned against him. "But then again, that doesn't mean we
can't stop planning now!"
He kissed her on
the cheek. "You're right. Let's start planning!"
They separated.
Filia got out a notebook and a pen. They started to go off with the basic.
"Big or small
wedding?" Xelloss asked.
"Medium."
"At a church?"
"Yeah."
"Who do you want
as your Maid of Honor?"
"Lina. Who do
you want as your Best Man?"
"You know it's
Zel."
"I want Gourry
and Val to be our ushers…"
"Why Val?"
"He's been a
family friend for the longest time. Him and Gourry are really close."
"Okay. Fine. If
that's what you want."
"Xillia could
the bridesmaid and Sylphiel."
"Yeah. Let's
have less planning and more playtime!" Xellos grinned evilly.
Filia grinned
back. "Why not!" She tackles him to the floor and kisses him passionately.
Xelloss kissed her back with equal passion. And the author will stop here. Lots
of adult things were going around at this time…
~*~*~*~
A week later…
Lina was home
alone for a change, so she decided to take this opportunity to go visit Beo and
Zel. She quickly got her bag and then went to get a cab. The only good thing
about living with Gaav, was that she now always had enough money to buy all the
foods she wants and still have money left over.
She soon came
back "home" and rang the doorbell. Beo answered.
"Dad!" She gave him
a big hug. "I've missed you!"
Beo laughed out
loud. "Honey it's only been a week!"
"I know, but it
feels like an eternity for me!"
There were fast
footsteps coming toward the door. Beo moved out of the way as Zelgadiss rushed
to Lina and gave her a real big and tight hug.
"How you been?
Gaav treating you alright?"
"Oh him and
Phibrizo just ignore me most of the time. That's how I like it!" Lina smiled.
"How have you two been without me?"
"Just waiting
for the days to pass by slowly…" Zel answered.
"Ah. Well you
two go to Dad's room while I go get you two coffee." Lina went to the kitchen
as the two just decided to go along with the flow.
Lina did this
and that and soon she had three cups of coffee in front of her. She put them on
a tray and took them to Beo's bedroom. She entered and gave them their coffee
and sat on the floor next to Zel. They all had long conversations about what
had happened over the week. Lina told them how annoying those terrible twos
were. Zel told her how quiet the apartment was without her. Beo just smiled and
said that he was glad that Lina was doing well over there. All was going just
fine till the phone interrupted them.
Zel answered.
"Hello?"
"Yo Zel! It's me
Zel! I've finally popped the question to Filia. She said yes!"
"Well took you
long enough! Congrats you two." Zel cupped the mouthpiece and told Lina and Beo
what happened.
"Congrats
Xelloss! Tell Filia I told her that also!!" Lina shouted at the phone.
Zel heard him
laughing. "Yeah. Hey Zel, would you be my best man?"
Zel sighed.
"Well I'm still upset about how you decided to work with him and all, but I
will do it! I still love you man!"
"Okay. Then
could you ask Lina if she would be Filia's Maid of Honor?"
Zel repeated
that question to Lina. Lina nodded enthusiastically. "I love weddings! Being in
one is cool!!"
"She said yes."
"Alright.
Further plans will be revealed soon! I have to go now. I am at my office and my
lunch break is over now. See ya later!" Xelloss hung up.
Zelgadiss put
the phone back on its hook and forced a smile.
"Still don't
like his decision eh Zel?" Lina patted his shoulder.
"Nah. But it's his life, so I can't force him to do anything against his will…" Zel sighed. I don't know why, but why do I feel ominous about this whole thing now. Now that Xelloss mentioned the wedding, it just gave me a chill…
