Stolen Kisses
Chapter Six: Gunter/Gwendal
Hiding Places
It had been a long day. Neither Gwendal nor Gunter had seen each other, but both had seen Lady Anisina plenty of times, much to their dismay. It seemed that she had come up with another great invention that "would revolutionize the way that people did their hair." What that had to do with anything, neither man knew, but both were keen on keeping their hair away from "Hair Helper-kun."
Every time it appeared the two would run into one another, Anisina popped out from nowhere, and the two men were forced to dart in opposite directions, thereby completely missing each other.
Gunter had had enough. He didn't want to help the red headed beauty with her monstrous invention, so he'd been forced to run. Now, he had taken up refuge in an abandoned closet. Or, at least, it had seemed abandoned.
There were so many rooms in the castle, but only so many were used. The wing that Gunter had fled to was one of the unused ones, but the closet in which he was hiding looked as if someone had been in it recently.
Curious, the wind elemental took in his surroundings. There was a small supply of food in one corner, and in the other was… Gunter blinked. They were still there. He blinked again. Still there.
Gunter smiled. Deciding to make himself comfortable, he sat down in the corner opposite the food, taking great care not to step on the contents of the corner he decided to rest in.
It only took fifteen minutes of waiting until the door opened and another figure hurried in, quickly shutting the door. Gunter watched as the other man leaned his forehead against the door and released a sigh of relief.
Knowing that he only had precious few seconds before Gwendal realized he wasn't alone, Gunter silently stood and quietly picked his way over to the dark haired man. He saw Gwendal stiffen, and Gunter mentally swore.
The element of surprise was all Gunter had left. When Gwendal turned around to confront the intruding presence, the light haired man launched himself into the earth elemental's arms, cutting off any cry he would have made with a kiss.
Gunter knew the exact moment Gwendal realized who it was, and smiled at the other man relaxed and placed his arms around the wind elemental's waist.
Gunter was the first to pull away. "I found you," he whispered.
He felt more than heard his lover chuckle. "Actually," he replied softly, "I found you."
The two men were leaning in for another kiss when the door opened. Framed in the open doorway was Anisina, who had a gigantic grin on her face. "I found you guys!" she exclaimed.
Both men began to back away warily, lamenting the fact that they had nowhere to run. The resident nutcase advanced forward.
"Now, would you both be dears and help…" Anisina's voice trailed off as she saw what was in the corner of the closet, opposite the food. "Gwendal," she said, and her voice held a note of warning. "Are those what I think they are?"
Gwendal, who was the bravest soldier in the entire kingdom and wasn't afraid of anything, let out an undignified squeak.
"So you're the one," Anisina continued, her voice rising in anger. "How could you take the blueprints to all of my new inventions! I can't do anything without those!"
Gunter heard Gwendal mutter "Exactly" under his breath, but said nothing. Instead, he warily watched the woman in front of him as she made her way further into the closet to collect the blueprints.
Without a word, Gwendal grabbed Gunter's hand and dragged him out of the closet before Anisina could notice. Gunter followed along, occasionally glancing back to see if they were being followed. "Where are we going, Gwendal?"
Glancing back, the earth elemental smiled. "I have another hiding place we can try."
Gunter smiled, happily allowing himself to be led by his lover.
