Karana Belle: Howdy! Aren't we all so happy that I put up another chapter?
Oh and have any of you seen the comic books for Suikoden 3? I just bought
the first (and only book printed in English in the store) one today! I
can't wait to read it! For my reviewers:
Captain Spam—Yeah maybe it's the same with me, the thing with grouping together ninja 1 and 2. But I don't know they kind of seem like old-lovers- that-now-hate-each-other. That didn't make any sense. Well the 12th unit shall probably come back in this chapter, because someone wanted some Geddoe/Queen in it. Sisters are really weird sometimes. But you still got to love them.
pikinanou—he is acting like a guy but I guess that's expected, I mean he is a guy. Wow, the chocolate chip cookies of supreme happiness? I like that name; it goes with the taste! And no you don't talk too much, well at least I don't think so.
DarkFusion—sure! I'll put a Geddoe/Queen in this chapter for you! (Hopefully).
Miranda de la Costa—Thanks! And as you can see I am updating!
A Silent Romance
Chapter 8
Once again we can see the three Faithful Meddlers of Love Life, sitting at the same table that they had for the last two meetings. And also Joker and Ace were well into their cups even BEFORE the meeting started. Queen just sighed, like always, at their behavior.
This time they were doing something like tame the lion. But Queen couldn't figure out who was the lion, and who was the tamer. After finding out that glaring wasn't stopping them from their play Queen decided to yell, "Will you two just stop so we can get on with the meeting?!"
Ace turned to Joker, whispering so that only the other drunken man could hear, "What's wrong with her? She's a little more edgy than usual."
Joker smirked, "Maybe it's that time of the month?"
Ace looked confused for a moment, "Time of the month? Ohhhh.... I get it now. Poor us, having to have this meeting at THIS time of the month. Why couldn't we have just waited a week?"
Queen was getting angrier, "Could you guys hurry it up? I haven't got all night you know!"
"Geeze, could ya yell louder? I don't think the people in Caleria could hear you." But Ace still moved towards the table, he might be able to SAY big things, but he can't really take on anyone when he's drunk.
When everyone was seated at the round table that they always sat at, Queen smiled, "Well, what have we to report?"
Joker and Ace shared confused expressions, "Wasn't she mad like just a second ago?" Joker just shook his head at Ace's question.
Queen was getting impatient again, "WELL?"
Ace gulped and opened his mouth, "Just last night I saw Jacques leave off in a huff saying something about 'Aila being with Watari'. But I couldn't hear him well because he was muttering..."
Joker nodded, "Well I heard from Twaikin, that he had heard yelling from the deck of the ship and that Jacques stalked out of the room, angry, and that Aila came by later, tears streaming down her face."
"Oh. This is really a problem, obviously there had to be some problem, or a misunderstanding." Queen frowned.
Joker broke the silence that followed, frowning, "Well then what are we going to do?"
"Maybe we should talk to them, separately of course." Ace shrugged.
Queen and Joker looked astonished, then Queen turned to Anne, "Anne, what have you been putting into Ace's drinks?"
Anne looked up from the counter she was cleaning and she smiled innocently, "Nothing at all."
"Oh okay." Queen then looked quizzically at Ace. Unnoticing the scowl Anne sent in her direction, 'How did she suspect me of putting a 'Make you Smarter' pill in Ace's drinks? I thought I was doing good at hiding it!' Anne frowned at her thoughts, 'Well I guess I shall just have to be more discreet.'
"Well I guess that's a good plan, Ace. Tomorrow you two will go and talk to Jacques and I will talk to Aila. Got it?" Queen pointed her finger at both of them, as she got up and walked out of the tavern, again leaving Ace and Joker in Anne's care, which wasn't a really good idea...
Instead of going to her room, Queen decided to walk outside, to try and sort out the problems that had arose between Jacques and Aila. She walked towards the lake, looking up at the stars that were sometimes masked by clouds.
"Looks like it's going to rain."
Queen turned around, startled, but she smiled when she saw who it was, "Geddoe." Geddoe walked further out of the shadows, and started walking in step with Queen as she continued walking towards the lake.
Geddoe decided to break the companionable silence, "What brings you out so late at night?" Queen turned and looked into his brown eyes, wondering whether to tell him or not about what Ace, Joker, and she were up to.
"I just came out of the Tavern, and I needed some fresh air." At that point they had reached the lake, and they both sat on the log that wasn't very far from the bank.
Geddoe, being more talkative then usual asked another question, "And what were you doing in the tavern this late? The only people who are usually in there at this time are Joker and Ace."
Queen gulped, thinking out her words carefully, "We were just...talking." And looking over at Geddoe she saw the look in his eyes that said, Go on. "Just talking about...things."
Geddoe sighed softly and looked out at the placid lake. And at that Queen groaned, "Fine. I'll tell you." At this Geddoe hid a small smile, listening to Queen. "Well, it all started out that the three of us wanted to kind of push Jacques and Aila along a little bit. That's what made us have that little 12th unit get together."
Queen looked over at Geddoe, who nodded, "But we didn't know that something would happen and that they would get mad at each other." Queen sighed audibly, "You know, it really is all my fault, if I didn't come up with that stupid idea, then none of this would have happened." She clenched her fists, willing herself not to punch the daylights, or in this case nightlights, out of herself.
And at that moment the rain decided to fall, but neither of them noticed. They just sat there on the log, then Geddoe broke the silence, again, "Well, all you have to do now is to try to help them figure out the problem" Geddoe grabbed her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze, but all it really seemed to do was make Queen feel more guilty.
A couple of tears slide out of her eyes, she desperately tried to stop them, and when she noticed that it was raining she stopped fighting and let them overtake her. Geddoe noticed her shaking, and thinking of no other way to comfort Queen, he awkwardly pulled he into his arms, stroking her back. His heartbeat accelerated a little at the close proximity, the closest he had had with anyone for a number of years.
Queen didn't even really notice that Geddoe had done this but she wrapped her arms around him, wanting the comfort. Slowly her breathing calmed as she drifted in and out of sleep. Then when it was too much to even do that she fell asleep, grateful to be able to rest.
A couple moments later Geddoe, seeing that she was asleep, stood up, carrying Queen bridal style. Making his way to the main building. And walking into that building he noticed how wet both of them really were, so he made his way to Aila's room, there was no way HE was going to change Queen out of her wet clothes.
And making to that door he noticed that it would be difficult to knock on the door, so he finally decided to hit it with his head. After knocking it hard a couple of times he heard a shuffle, and pulled back his hurting head, that was leaning on the door. Looking down at Queen he thought, 'What I do for you.'
Then the door opened to show Aila, yawning, "What?"
"I need your help." Geddoe spoke quietly so he wouldn't wake up anyone else on the hall. Then Aila rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, and blinked, then smiling mischievously as she saw the condition that he was in, AND who was in his arms.
"Okay, what do you need?" Aila smiled more evilly, she already knew WHY he woke her up in the middle of the night, but felt that it couldn't hurt asking.
Geddoe coughed, "I need you to change her out of these wet clothes." Aila noticed the small-almost-not-there-blush that was on Geddoe's cheeks, like I said before, she was a woman she knew these things; but nevertheless she nodded and started for Queen's room, Geddoe following close behind.
Upon coming in Queen's room Aila pointed to the bed, "Put her there and stand outside of the door." Geddoe did as she said, and started to the door, shutting it behind him.
A few minutes later the door opened and Aila motioned for him to come inside, putting a finger up to her lips. The lights were off and Geddoe could barely make it to the bedside without tripping over anything. Aila just stood by the door, smiling secretly to herself.
Geddoe looked down at Queen who was curled up in her blankets, trying to get what warmth she could. Geddoe smiled and before he knew what he was doing he was bending down and he kissed her forehead. Then he got up quickly and left after Aila who was waiting outside of the door.
Right before he left he turned back once more, smiling, and he closed the door behind him again.
Karana: Before you say anything, I know that Queen probably wouldn't cry, but lets just say that with that problem and all the others that she most likely had, AND Hormones, she cried, okay? I hope you guys liked the Geddoe/Queen, it was kind of hard considering I have never done that before, I hope it wasn't bad. TT REVIEW PLEASE!
Captain Spam—Yeah maybe it's the same with me, the thing with grouping together ninja 1 and 2. But I don't know they kind of seem like old-lovers- that-now-hate-each-other.
