Angel: I can only wish!
Fortune of Light
Hotaru sighed inwardly. This was not good; the room had been in dead silence for ten minutes and counting. You see, the gods didn't just get married. They had big weddings and fabulous parties. You didn't elope if you were god, and Death had.
Slowly, Light started towards them. "I very happy for you Death." She said nervously. "I wish you'd have invited me to your... wedding. But we'll make the best of it. So, who's the lucky bride?"
"Hm." Duo smirked under his hood. 'I could just tell them, or I could make them wait in suspense. Which one? Tough decision. Ya right!' "I'm not telling."
*Insert crickets chirp*
"You're not telling?"
"Yep." He leaned back.
"Cruel joke. You seem to like doing me job as much as your own." Trickery called, he smiled, "But I like you're jokes so I don't mind."
"I don't." War hissed, "You have to tell us so we can honor her."
"What if it's not a her?" Mirth asked softly to Life.
She gave him an odd look, "It wouldn't be a bad thing, I suppose. But Death likes the woman too much."
Hilde was glaring daggers at Death; she stormed up to the throne. "You lie! I'm the one you're going to marry! I love you! You belong to me!"
*Hear pin drop*
"General, stand down. Don't forget your place!" One of the Gods called. The others started to talk of punishment for the woman.
But Hotaru's mind had spun away from the talk and had onto her own situation. 'What will they think? I'm a general too! They'll punish Hilde for just speaking her mind! What will they think that a general and god have married?'
Her violet eyes shot to Duo and she gave him a sad look, 'Stop them.' She mouthed. Duo raised a brow, but he understood her meaning.
"Leave her be!" He called.
All eyes once again turned to him.
"She's just speaking her mind, why punish her for it. Mortals do it too, they're bellow Generals."
Shoot and hit. Hotaru's eyes widened. 'Above mortals?' Her mind whirled and she felt tears rush to her eyes. Slowly, she stepped out of rank and slipped, unnoticed out the side door.
Duo, who'd been explaining why not the punish Hilde, turned to smile and Hotaru and found her not there. 'Koi?'
***************************************************************************
"There you are."
Hotaru turned, but it wasn't who'd she'd expected. She'd thought Duo had come after her, but it was Light.
"Oh, hi." Her eyes turned back to the setting "sun".
"Is that all?" Light joked. She smiled softly and patted the other woman's shoulder, "What's the matter, Hotaru? You fled from the room like the other messengers had betrayed you and were going to rip you apart piece by piece."
"I felt that way." Hotaru whispered.
"Why?"
"Gods and Generals." She said, as if it explained it all.
And it did, "Does it truly matter what others think, when you love him and he loves you?"
Hotaru turned to her friend, "When he's a god it does."
"It never does, Taru."
"Ser." Hotaru accepted the hug gladly. She took in the warmth her friend had to offer.
"Now listen. You and I are friends, right?"
"Hai."
"And I'm a goddess, Taru. Do you get my point? We've socialized and stayed friends even though it's looked down upon by others. So why does it matter if you're married to Death, if you both don't care?"
"I... thank you Light." Hotaru hugged her friend tighter. "You always have the answers."
"No. I wish I did, but I just have advice." Serena smiled and let Hotaru. "Come on, your husband was looking a bit frantic when he couldn't find you."
Hotaru giggled, "How'd you figure it out?"
"The way you looked at him the last time I was here. I wasn't sure, but when I saw you run out, I knew."
"I think I've put him through some tough moments."
"They'll be more. But, I'll be here." Serena smiled.
"I know." Hotaru sighed.
