Sometimes I wonder just why am I writing this fic.....well I guess it
doesn't really matter now, cos this is the last chapter! ^_^
I know this story is supposed to be solely around Rudolph, but I could help sneaking in a little extra scene.
Anyways, Thanks for reading my fic, its been fun, and I hope you enjoy :)
------
Was Van alive? Rudolph needed to know, and he needed to know now. He walked over to the front door and opened it a crack, looking out, he could see five or six people about fifty yards away looking at the house opposite. What were they looking at, a bush was blocking his view. Moving outside a few steps he was relieved to notice Van, Fiona and Moonbay were amongst the growing crowd of spectators, they had been directly behind the bush. There were some voices across the street, someone was shouting but he couldn't see who.
"You get away from me, get away! Fiends like you should be locked up!" It sounded like one of the old farmers.
Rudolph couldn't hear what the other one was saying, but the voice sounded strangely familiar. It was somewhat mellow, feminine in a manly sort of way. The voice got louder, it seemed to be heading towards the crowd.
"Well if it isn't Van Flyheight," the voice said, it seemed as if the person was as drunk as a skunk.
"What are you doing here, Stinger?" Van responded.
"Simple Van, I, hic, heard you were in a fanfic, and well I just had to join in the fun"
"In a fanfic, what do you mean?" Fiona questioned.
"Don't listen to him Fiona, he's just trying to get into your head."
"hic, HICcup...As if I want to get into her head, I only have eyes for you Van." He staggered over towards him.
"Don't come another step closer."
"Ohh, but Van, you look sshoo ssssexy." Stinger continued walking towards him, and raised one of his arms to touch Van's face, but Van ducked out of the way. "What'ss the matter hic Van, I see it in you eyes, your attracted to guysies just like me."
Rudolph looked on incredulously,
"It's ok Van, you don't have to be ashamed of who you are."
"AghHHhh Fiona! How many times do I have to tell you, I don't swing that way!"
"Sw...swing what way?"
"Never mind Fiona, just never mind."
Stinger started up again. "You should listen to Fiona, nothing to be assshamed of Van, so how about it, you and me?" Rudolph could see frustration building up in Van, it was like Stinger had been pushing all the right buttons to make Van angry. Perhaps that was the motive, or perhaps he really wanted Van and was being truthful when he said what he was seeing in Van's eyes. As Rudolph contemplated this, he looked on as Van curled his fingers up into a fist, one more push and that would be it. He looked over to Stinger, how strange, he didn't seem to even be paying attention to Van anymore. In fact, he was looking directly this way....
"Awwww, look at the little Prince Rudolph wearing nothing but a towel!" He suddenly yelled out in excitement. Rudolph's face turned bright red, as the crowd of onlookers all turned in his direction. He had been so caught up in the conversation between Van and Stinger, he had completely forgotten what he was wearing.
"E...everything...ok Rudolph?" Van asked him, perplexed. Rudolph looked at all the different people in the crowd, all with their eyes fixed on him, and then he stared into Van's eyes. They were like a magnet, so difficult to look away. "Ruuudolph, anyone home in there?" Rudolph sighed listening to Van's voice, such a cute voice, he could listen to it forever.
"Don't worry Van, I'll take him inside, he seems to be in a state of shock." Fiona stated, putting an arm around Rudolph's shoulder.
As she led him back into the house, Rudolph mumbled something, and Fiona could just make out the words: "I'm not in shock, I'm in love." She gasped, and briskly walked into the house, so no one would see her shocked expression.
As the door shut behind them, the sound of it made Rudolph more aware of his surroundings. He looked to his side to see Fiona. From her face it seemed like something was on her mind, like she wanted to ask him something; and he had an idea of what that question might be. "Uhh, thanks Fiona, I'll be Ok now." He ran up the stairs and into the bathroom before she could ask anything.
Could it be that she knew? First Moonbay, and now Fiona. Perhaps Rudolph had no choice but to tell Van how he felt tonight, cos if he didn't, maybe one of them would. He slipped back into his clothes, and dithered around the room, unsure of what to do. Five minutes later, he heard the door opening and the voices of Van and Moonbay. Realizing he couldn't hide forever, he gingerly stepped out and down the stairs.

Meanwhile over by the Command Wolf, Irvine had awoken.
"I wonder why I've woken up, judging from the moons I'd say the night was still young, well whatever, might as well head back to sleep again then. " He went to roll over. "What the, I can't move! My whole body has gone numb, what's going on?!"
"Oh Irrrrvine hee hee hee, looksh like me and you are going to have ssome fun! "
Oh no! NOOOoooooo.....
----
Much to the delight of Rudolph, Moonbay had promptly kicked the boys out of the room downstairs once again, so she could get some sleep. Here he was, alone with Van in the bedroom. Just thinking about it felt so good, but what to do.....what to do.
"So....What happened to Stinger?"
"Well I'm glad you asked. After he had attempted to humiliate you, I realized that he was just trying to provoke everyone around him, and so I decided to play it cool. Knowing that his taunting wasn't working, he left saying he was about to have a wild time with some other guy. Heh, as if anyone would believe that."
The story would have been most interesting to Rudolph, if he had listened to a single word of it. No, he was much more mesmorized about the way Van had been removing his clothing piece by piece. First it was his socks and shoes, then it was his upper garments, and now he was taking off his pants. Rudolph was almost drooling, and realized he needed to say something in response, something long, so that he would have an excuse for looking in his direction.
"Huhaha, good one Van." Well that wasn't very long, Rudolph chuckled to himself, but it didn't matter too much, Van was now down to his boxers, black boxers with white polka dots. What a sight! Starting to blush, he forced himself to turn away and looked out of the window considering what his next move should be. He noticed that there wasn't a single light on in any of the nearby houses. "Good, doesn't look like there is going to be anymore distractions tonight."
"Awesome!" sighed Van happily. "Look's like we'll be able to sleep in peace tonight eh." He sat onto the floor, and then tilted back into a sleeping position, leaving the whole bed for Rudolph. "Wow, this fluffy pink carpet feels better than my sleeping bag. Ahhh, well, goodnight Rudolph."
"G...goodnight Van, sleep well." Oh no! Van was starting to fall asleep, thoughts started screaming through Rudolph's head. If he didn't act now he wouldn't get a second chance, they would never be alone together like this again, not with Fiona around, and especially not if he was to become Emperor. It had to be tonight, it had to be now. He could hear a voice inside his head: 'Do something Rudolph, do it now!....now!....NOW!!!'
"V...V.....Van?"
No response.
".......Van?" Oh no, had he been too late.
"What's up Rudolph." The voice sounded rather groggy.
"It's...it's just that ermm........" Was this really such a good idea, Van would never be interested in him.
"Huh? I didn't quite hear what you said."
Prozen! He would use it against him, the empire would be in chaos. Perhaps he should keep quiet. But no, no wait, he was in love, he wanted nothing more than to be with Van, nothing else mattered. Besides, Prozen need not find out about this, yes, this was the right thing to do. Even if Van didn't feel the same way about him, it's not as if he would go and tell anyone about it, Van wasn't like that. And at least if he asked, at least this way, there would be no regrets, he would know one way or the other...
With renewed courage, but still nervous about Van's response, Rudolph decided to take the plunge.
"I love you, Van." The words seem to echo around the room, it was like time had frozen still at that moment. He felt his heart beating through the roof, but then it slowed down a little.
".....Van?"
There was a deadly stillness, and then came a response. A response in the form of a snoring sound. The sound, the noise, repeated itself again, and again, and again. He was too late.....too slow.
A tear rolled down Rudolph's cheek, as he slowly walked towards the bed. With each step, his body seemed to feel heavier than before. He crawled into the bed, under the covers, and lay there motionless. It seemed like the whole world had stopped, and his whole life had come to an end. All was silent and motionless, all except the snoring, a constant reminder of his wasted chance.
The End
------
Alas.....sorry if the ending was a bit disapppointing, perhaps there will be a sequel or something in the future...
"What are you talking about?! No! This isn't over, I'm not giving up, not yet! I won't! Get out of my head. I will find a way to tell Van tonight, somehow I will!"
........What the???....I thought I had full control over this story.....guess not.....looks like there's more to come after all.
I know this story is supposed to be solely around Rudolph, but I could help sneaking in a little extra scene.
Anyways, Thanks for reading my fic, its been fun, and I hope you enjoy :)
