Chapter 19
Jill agreed to watch the kids, and Leon was dragged along with D to a floral shop. Kasi was so happy when she saw her friend that owned the shop working that day. They chatted a while, while D and Leon walked around, hand in hand, and looked over the many floral arrangements. Finally Leon saw one he liked. He pointed it out to D, who smiled, and pointed to another. Leon shrugged and put an arm around D.
"So, they're the ones?"
"Yeah. They're gettin' married." Kasi nodded, smiling as she watched D and Leon.
"She's beautiful. He's a lucky guy." Mercy commented.
Kasi just grinned. "That she's a he." She said, turning to see Mercy's expression. It was priceless. Complete shock and confusion.
"Oh." Mercy blushed. "I thought…Wow. I've never seen a guy like that."
"That's pretty much what I said when I met him." Kasi laughed. "C'mon, let's help them. They've only got two more weeks to get married."
"Two weeks? They must be crazy! There's no way…" Mercy shook her head, coming from behind the counter. She smiled brightly, extending her hand to Leon, then D. "I'm Mercy."
"Nice to meet ya." Leon smiled.
"A pleasure, Miss Mercy." D said.
"Hey, D. This one's pretty." Leon commented. D smiled and nodded his agreement.
"Oh, this is one of my favorites!" Mercy exclaimed, picking up the flowers. It was a splash of light red, dark blue, light blue, and a very faint purple, with just a hint of rose pink. It was roses, just barely into bloom, and tulips, which were the purple and blue. "What colors were you thinking of for your wedding?"
D glanced at Leon, who smiled. "Blue and red, actually."
Kasi nodded. "It just seems to fit them, doesn't it!" She clasped her hands before her, grinning happily. Mercy had to agree. The dark blue just seemed to match with Leon, and the red and purple with D.
Soon, they left that store, now with Mercy along with them, with a bunch of floral arrangements like the one they had talked about in the store. Mercy had told one of her workers to keep track of the store while she was gone. Now they would worry about the clothing.
At Kasi's House
Matt slept peacefully in the playpen, snuggled up to his teddy, despite the fact that Jar and Julie were playing video games awfully loud. There were occasional shouts and sound effects drifting through the house, and even to the kitchen, where Jill was humming soothingly to Yui. Yui was eating, cradled in Jill's arms, and was growing tired. Humming always put her to sleep. That was how Leon had gotten her to quiet down many times.
Finally, Yui pushed the bottle away, and closed her eyes, cuddling against Jill. Jill brought her into the living room and placed her beside Matt, before turning down the sound on the TV. Jar and Julie immediately protested this, but didn't say anything more when Jill said, "The babies are sleeping. Be quiet."
Back to D and Leon
"Um…This is very uncomfortable." D tugged at the sleeves of the wedding dress. "I don't like it." He was still in the dressing room, and Mercy and Kasi were helping him out.
Mercy looked him over, and nodded. "It just doesn't seem like you."
Kasi looked at Mercy. "I like it. It's pretty."
D's cheeks flushed a bit. "It is pretty. I agree. I just…I don't think these types of dresses are for me."
Mercy nodded. "I agree with D." She folded her arms, looking at Kasi.
"Well, what are you going to wear, then?" Kasi asked.
"Hurry up, you guys!" Leon's voice exclaimed from outside.
"We're hurrying, Leon! Just be patient!" Kasi shouted back.
D smiled. "I have a white cheongsam back at Miss Kasi's house. It has a bit of blue and gold on it as well."
Mercy grinned and her eyes lit up. "Why don't we go to Kasi's and let you try that on? I would love to see it!"
Kasi nodded. "Ok. None of these white lacey things seem to fit you, anyways."
Mercy and Kasi quickly left to let D get dressed. Since they were no longer occupied with D, they jumped at a chance to dress Leon up like a doll. They grinned at each other, and then at Leon, who looked skeptical. Within a instant, a tux had been shoved into his hands, and he had been pushed into the same changing room as D.
D smiled at him. "They got you too, hm?" He quickly finished with the clasps, and then gathered up the white bundle of dress.
Leon looked at the tux. "I don't think I can put this on." He smiled mischeviously at D, who smiled and laughed.
"Would you like some help, dear?" D teased, setting down the dress again.
"Oh, of course." Leon grinned. He pulled D into a hug before D began to undress Leon.
Kasi had her ear to the door. Mercy pulled her away with an accusing, "Eavesdropper."
"Maybe putting Leon in there too wasn't a good idea." Kasi said thoughtfully.
Mercy laughed. She sat down and pulled out two magazines. "Here." She tossed one to Kasi, who sat next to her.
Later
"Boy, was today exhausting." Leon sighed, dropping their many bags of things in a corner of their room.
D nodded. "Yes, it was. I'm glad to be back here." He sat down on the bed. "Do you have your cellphone, hun?"
"Yeah. Here." Leon pulled it from his pocket and tossed it to D, who caught it easily. As D began to dial, Leon asked, "Who are you calling?"
"The shop. And then Chris." D answered, pushing some hair behind his ear.
Leon smiled, and leaned down, pressing his lips to D's, ignoring the fact that the phone was ringing. When T-chan's voice could be heard on the other line, D quickly pulled away from Leon, who had pinned him to the bed.
"T-chan. Hello."
"Count?"
"Yes. How is everything there?" Leon nibbled on D's neck, and D smiled, rubbing his free hand on Leon's biceps.
"Everything's great." T-chan answered, grateful that he didn't have a hangover anymore.
"That's good. Has anyone called?" D asked, smiling up at Leon.
"Yeah. Chris. He said something about coming to visit when ya'll came back, and bringing someone with him." T-chan answered, glaring at two squirrels that ran past him. They immediately slowed to a brisk walk.
"Oh, that's wonderful! We haven't seen him in a very long time." D said, fending off Leon's wandering hands. "Well, I have to go now, T-chan. Tell everyone I said hello. Oh, and Leon and I are getting married."
"YOU'RE WHAT?"
D didn't answer. He hung up, leaving T-chan twitching and glaring at the phone.
Leon quickly captured D's lips in a heated kiss, moaning into his mouth. He protested when D turned away, dialing once again on the phone. "D! You can call him later." Leon said, kissing D's neck.
"I could. But I don't want to." D smiled. Leon rolled his eyes and went back to kissing D's pale skin. D just stroked his fingers through Leon's hair, listening to the persistent ringing.
"Hello?" Chris answered the phone, only to hear soft laughter.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Hello, Chris." D said quickly.
"Count? Aren't you and Leon in Louisiana?" Chris asked.
D could hear something that sounded faintly like purring on the other line, but he ignored it. "Chris, do you mind if Leon and I get married while we're here?"
A crash was heard on the other line. Leon even looked up at this. "Um…no. No, of course not." Chris said in a bit of a strangled voice.
A female voice was heard in the background. "Chris! What happened? Are you ok?"
Chris answered her. "I'm fine, Lynne. I'll clean this up."
D interrupted them. "Lynne? Who's that?" He teased.
Leon stopped his kisses to say, "Lynne? How come I've never heard that name?"
Chris laughed nervously. "Um…right. Did I mention I have a girlfriend?"
"A girlfriend living with you?" D scolded.
"Hey now! You and Leon lived together for at least 8 years!" Chris protested.
D blushed. "You're right. There's nothing I can say."
Leon was now straddling D, with a frown on his face. "Let me talk." He took the phone and climbed off D, before walking out of the room.
D sat up with a sigh. He had a feeling Chris would get an earful. Perhaps he should listen in and try to calm Leon when necessary. So he walked out of the bedroom and found Leon pacing near the staircase. He wasn't able to stay there long.
"Count? Hey D! Where's the diaper bag? Oh, and Matt's crying and he won't stop!" Jill's voice rang through the house. Leon glanced briefly at D.
D hurried down the stairs. He grabbed the diaper bag and handed it to Jill. Then he picked up Matt, cooing at him, hoping to calm him down. Meanwhile, he watched Leon, who was still pacing and talking. He didn't seem angry. In fact, he was smiling now. Maybe things would work out after all.
Kia: END!
Leon: Why would I get upset over Chris's girl?
Kia: Um…wait, I know this…uh…ok, fine. I DON'T know.
Leon: o.O
Chris: O.o
Matt: points and laughs
D: watches curiously
Kia: Whatever. Review!
