Alright, readers. Here is the third one-shot and the final part of the Love and Duty trilogy that I was working on.
Now, last time, I worked with Boris Yeltsin on a one-shot focused on the Love and Duty universe. This time, I worked with Assassin Master Ezio 91.
This one focuses on Andrew and Gendry spending time together while their girlfriends are hanging out elsewhere. This one-shot will go into depth about Gendry's sexual orientation, which I decided to do for him in this one-shot to give him a bit more characterization.
One other thing, this is focused in the Totally Spies universe; in Beverly Hills, just like the previous two one-shots. Gendry being a focus character here still makes it related to Game of Thrones, so that's been taken care of.
In addition to that, Andrew and Gendry make the most of their bromantic time together, with Gendry sharing his secret with Andrew, and a few other things will be featured here.
With that said, what is Gendry's sexual orientation exactly? And how will Andrew react to it? Read and find out right now!
DISCLAIMER: The character Andrew is owned by me, as is Jumly. And Gendry is owned by George R. R. Martin, along with the other Game of Thrones characters that are mentioned. And all Totally Spies characters mentioned are owned by Marathon Media. Everything else mentioned in this one-shot belongs to their rightful owners.
IN BEVERLY HILLS - 1:39 P.M.
It was a beautiful summer day in the city of Beverly Hills. It was sunny out, and plenty of people decided to go out and enjoy some fresh summer air. Since there was no school, kids and teens decided to make the most of their summer break by playing and going outside to do what they want to do.
Not everyone was going outside in the summer heat, however. In particular, at the house that belongs to Andrew Peterson, Andrew was spending some time with a close friend of his.
Said close friend was revealed to be Gendry Waters, who had come from Westeros and had decided to visit Beverly Hills again, along with Arya and Sansa; the latter of which was particularly desperate with checking out Beverly Hills for the first time, just so she could spend some time with Clover.
As a result, Sansa met up with Clover again after so long, and the two of them decided to hit the mall together, and Arya and Alex decided to spend some time together elsewhere. This meant Gendry was left by himself.
But this also meant that he could spend some quality time with Andrew at his house for a while. And because Sam and Lancel were out on a date together, and Robert was visiting folks, Andrew and Gendry could make the most of this since it was just the two of them. Needless to say, they couldn't ask for anything better.
Currently, they were in the living room as they were sitting on the couch close together. And Gendry was playing a video game on the TV while Andrew watched him. The particular video game that Gendry was playing was Skyrim. And he seemed to know what he was doing with the game, judging by how he was handling the gameplay.
Andrew had to admit, he never played Skyrim before, nor has he seen someone play it for him. But judging by the smile he had, it was clear that he was somewhat fascinated by what he was seeing.
He didn't know what intrigued him more; the details of the game itself, or the fact that Gendry was a natural expert at playing this game. Either way, it was an excellent experience for him.
A few minutes later, Gendry had just beaten another part of the game, which Andrew was impressed by. It was then Andrew decided to comment on it.
"Well Gendry, I got to admit," Andrew said with a smile. "This game looks pretty fun."
"Yeah, got that right, Andy," Gendry replied, smiling too as he paused the game and put the controller down.
"No, really," Andrew then told him. "You are a natural and an expert at playing this game."
"Oh, it's just experience that I've gotten," Gendry replied modestly. "I've played it more than a few times you know."
"Yeah. That's true," Andrew nodded in understanding. "Still, it was fun watching you play this game for me."
"Well, it was my pleasure to play it for you," Gendry replied.
"Honestly, this game reminds me of the time that we had fun playing a video game together back in Westeros," Andrew decided to bring up. "You remember how we played Time Crisis together, and we spent time together as a result?"
Gendry laughed softly. "Yeah, I remember dude."
He finished saving the game and switching off the console, deciding to take a break.
"Yeah," Andrew sighed as Gendry turned off the TV. "You know, it felt like it was only yesterday when I went to Westeros on a mission abroad and I met you for the first time."
"Yeah. I mean, it was 'actually' a couple of months ago, but you're right. It does feel like yesterday." Gendry admitted.
"No kidding," Andrew chuckled before smirking and recalling. "I remember how we both had Dornish Peppers together, and we hated how spicy they were."
Gendry laughed too. "Yeah well, we learned, since we didn't eat them again afterwards. Oof...can still feel that spicy taste in my mouth sometimes. Wasn't expecting some top quality Dornish peppers like that from a restaurant in Last Hearth."
"Me too buddy," Andrew agreed while nodding. "And then there was the time we both needed to use the bathroom and we were ambushed by those guys."
"Oh yeah, the Kettleblacks, they did try to put up a fight. But you and I were a kickass unbeatable team, right?" Gendry confirmed.
"Yup. We sure were a couple of badasses," Andrew grinned. "And it was all thanks to my laser nosehair trimmer."
Gendry laughed heartily. "I admit, that still fascinates me. A nosehair trimmer that shoots lasers."
"It's just one of the many gadgets WOOHP has to offer," Andrew exclaimed. "Not to mention the part where I got to see where you work in Karhold."
"Yeah, and you helped out," Gendry pointed out. "We made great work on that car. We were a good team."
"No doubt about that," Andrew laughed heartily. "And we 'really' grew close together and got to know each other as a result."
"It was well worth it. We're close friends now." Gendry explained.
"It sure was worth it," Andrew agreed.
"You've opened up a lot more about yourself since then too," Gendry explained.
"Well, you aren't wrong there," Andrew then started laughing along with Gendry, which lasted for a few moments.
After they shared a brief laugh, they settled down and enjoyed the moment that they were sharing. They looked like they were wicked close to each other, considering how they had their hands on each other's backs. Gendry was contemplating this feeling for a moment when Andrew decided to share something with him.
"Hey Gendry," Andrew gave Gendry a sly look. "Do you know what a bromance is?"
Gendry thought for a moment, curious. "Um, no, what is a bromance?"
"A bromance is a close but nonsexual relationship between two men. Kinda like what we're doing right now," Andrew exclaimed before adding with a rather warm and fuzzy whisper. "Essentially, we're spending some bromance time together. Just the two of us. And if you must know, it's also a combination of the words 'brother' and 'romance'. So basically, we're sharing some brotherly romance. Just you and me."
"Oh, I…I see." Gendry replied, blushing, not just what was revealed to him by Andrew but the way he whispered it to him as well.
Gendry's mind raced at that, a flurry of emotion that he did his best to keep hidden was starting to surface. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, along with a blush coming to his cheeks.
What the…what on earth do I say? Andy doesn't know the truth about this, only Arya knows what I'm feeling. He thought to himself. Could I even share this with Andy?
He bit his lip, considering his conflicted feelings at the moment. Gendry tried his hardest to hide the blush that was apparent on his cheeks. But it was all for naught as Andrew instantly caught the sight of his blush. Rather than dismissing it as being something inappropriate, Andrew took this moment to ask him a question.
"What? Do I strike you fancy or something, Gendry?" Andrew asked him in a teasing tone that also bordered on suggestive. It's as if Andrew was trying to flirt with him.
This caught Gendry completely off guard as his blush deepened further and he stuttered to find an appropriate answer to that.
"I wha-uh?" Gendry stammered. "Um, nothing like that, no…it's not anything important anyhow."
As soon as Andrew caught the tone in Gendry's voice, he dropped the flirty-teasing act altogether, as he then sported a rather serious expression on his face. He knew Gendry long enough to know if something was bothering him. They had been through a lot together back in Westeros.
"Gendry? What's the matter?" Andrew asked calmly with a worried and firm tone in his voice.
"It…it's nothing...you probably won't understand," Gendry replied reluctantly.
This only increased the concern that Andrew was feeling about his close comrade. Something was bothering the Westerosi, and he had to get to the bottom of it.
Without any warning, Andrew grabbed Gendry by both sides of his waist and got him to look him straight in the eye so he could see the worried and concerned look that he needed him to see.
"Gendry, you can tell me what's wrong," Andrew told him in an assuring tone. "There's nothing to worry about. I'll always be here for you, no matter what it is that's bothering you. Remember, I trusted you with the facts about my past when we were in Westeros. And you trusted me with the facts about your past. And we grew close to each other since. And we can only continue to grow closer."
Andrew saw Gendry's expression softening a bit as he was taking that in. Andrew then concluded. "So please tell me what this is all about? Please?"
Gendry was still taking all of that in. But he knew one thing was for sure: Andrew was right. They have gotten pretty close since came up and personal about their early lives, and they were on the same level.
I can't ever doubt him for a second, or underestimate him…We had each other's backs in Westeros. Gendry thought. Even though he's no longer on a mission abroad in Westeros, he continues to have my back no matter what. I…I'll tell him the truth, the truth that only Arya knows about.
With that, he smiled lightly. "Alright, alright. I'll tell you what's bothering me."
"Attaboy Gendry," Andrew gave him a sincere smile. "Now what's this all about?"
"Alright, now listen, I need you to understand. Arya is 'literally' the only person, until now, who knows about this." Gendry explained with a deep breath.
"Okay," Andrew accepted that. "And I'll be the second person you'll reveal it to. So what is it?"
Taking another deep breath, Gendry came clean and confessed. "Alright, the truth is dude…I'm actually, bisexual."
Andrew blinked a couple of times in surprise as he let go of Gendry. This was something he never expected. Did Gendry just reveal what he thought he revealed to him?
"Wait, bisexual," Andrew then asked. "You mean you're attracted to both men and women?"
"Yup, that's correct."
It was then Andrew said nothing else as he took all of this in. He couldn't believe it. He had no idea about this, and that Gendry was 'actually' bisexual. Then again, he never did ask him about his sexual orientation when he was back in Westeros since there was no need to. Because he was dating Arya.
It 'really' did show Andrew that there were some things about Gendry that he didn't know about already. And it certainly did mean something, what with how Gendry managed to come clean with him after sincerely convincing him.
I never would've guessed that Gendry was bi with how he was dating Arya. Andrew thought deeply as he shook his head. Then again, we have grown close to each other. And things did feel a bit...friendly between us from time to time. So I guess it'd make sense that Gendry would be bisexual.
After a few minutes of thinking, Andrew took a deep breath and decided to ask him. "Gendry? How did you figure this out for yourself? When did you begin to realize that you were bisexual?"
Gendry had to sigh at this. He was expecting a question like that from Andrew. So it was best that he'd give him the perfect answer to it.
"It's kinda hard to explain, but it was more like a gradual thing, just as years went by I began to realize what I was feeling, and after looking at them I began to see just what I was feeling and I think I just realized the truth after that everything made sense," Gendry explained.
As Gendry was finishing his explanation, Andrew couldn't help but feel one thing regarding Gendry; pride. He was 'absolutely' proud of him for trusting him with this kind of thing, even though he had to encourage him at first.
"That's pretty much it." Gendry finished. "So um…how do you, how do you feel about this dude, you don't, think any less of me?"
Andrew already knew the answer to that. The warm smile on his face said it all. Placing his right hand on Gendry's shoulder, Andrew gave him an answer.
"Gendry, I do not think any less of you," Andrew shook his head. "And I'm not bothered by the fact that you're bisexual."
"You…you 'really' mean that?" Gendry asked, startled.
"Yes. Yes, I do mean that. I'm not bothered by you being bi. And more importantly, I still think of you as my best friend," Andrew assured him before adding. "And also, I am proud of you, and impressed with you, for coming clean with me on that, and that you decided to tell me for yourself."
"Wow that's, thanks dude, I'm glad you've encouraged me about this," Gendry admitted in a flattered tone.
"Yeah, but it was just to let you know that you don't need to hide anything from me," Andrew continued softly. "If there's one thing that I will never be, it would be a homophobe. I would never be a homophobe towards anyone."
"In that case, I'm glad I told you, dude." Gendry agreed with a slight chuckle.
"You said it Gendry," Andrew gave a hearty laugh in return.
Afterwards, something else came to Andrew's mind. And it involved Arya too. Feeling the need to bring it up with Gendry, he decided to do so.
"You mentioned that Arya was the only other person to have known about the fact that you're bisexual, right?" Andrew wondered.
Gendry nodded in confirmation. "Yeah, although of course, there's another reason Arya knows and understands.
"What do you mean?" Andrew raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, she's bisexual too," Gendry explained.
"Say what now," Andrew queried in confusion.
Gendry nodded and confirmed. "Yeah, it's true, dude. I was surprised but impressed when she shared the truth with me. It might be hard to believe, considering we're together now, but she did have some kind of fascination for girls too."
"I see," Andrew nodded with an intrigued look, encouraging him to continue.
Gendry continued. "Yeah, before she started dating me, and before she even met me 'actually'. She had some fascination with this good friend of hers. They 'actually' had similar interests, which was a bit surprising for that girl. Aside from Mycah, this young lady was pretty close friends with Arya and they 'actually' still keep in touch every so often."
"That's remarkable Gendry," Andrew stated.
"Yup, it's something we have in common, Arya and I...so it kinda brought us closer together." Gendry finished explaining.
Andrew remained silent for a few moments, blinking a few times before finding his voice.
"You know, I'm not surprised by that, considering how close Arya has gotten with Alex," Andrew said casually. "Especially seeing that the two of them are practically doing everything together whenever Arya can visit Beverly Hills."
Gendry laughed. "Yeah, no doubt about that."
"Yeah," Andrew smirked before adding. "Given what my girlfriend is like, and after learning about how she was in the past, such as the missions she was on before I came to Beverly Hills, I also wouldn't be surprised if Alex turns out to be bisexual too."
"Well, Alex keeps Arya close and admires her," Gendry replied with a shrug. "So, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me either."
"Yeah," Andrew then stopped laughing and then brought up. "Anyway, you said that Arya had another friend in Westeros that she was close to. Is that right?"
"Yup, that's right," Gendry confirmed.
"Wow," Andrew blinked. "I'm quite surprised since from what I've seen, she was only close to Mycah and you. And eventually, she grew closer to Alex after all that drama stuff was sorted out."
Gendry nodded and admitted. "Most who don't know Arya would come to that conclusion."
"Right," Andrew sighed. "Who was the girl that Arya is close friends with anyway?"
"Her name's Shireen Baratheon," Gendry explained.
"Shireen Baratheon," Andrew wondered. "Who is that?"
"Shireen is the daughter of Stannis Baratheon, the younger brother of Robert Baratheon, who you of course know," Gendry explained.
"Oh," Andrew now understood that Shireen was related to the late Robert Baratheon. "That's interesting. Tell me a bit more about her and her friendship with Arya."
"Well, they were close friends when they were younger, they used to do everything together, especially before what happened to Mycah. It was tough for Shireen as her father was quite distant and her mother Selyse was a crazy abusive holy roller. But she's doing much better now." Gendry continued his explanation. "Although, after Arya and I started dating, they didn't hang out as often as they used to, they do still keep in touch though and she's doing well."
"Wow. That's nice," Andrew nodded in understanding. "Well, it's nice to know that they still keep in touch with one another."
Gendry smiled and agreed. "Yeah, oh and funnily enough, while Arya's embracing the punk lifestyle, Shireen ended up embracing a lifestyle of her own after getting free of her mother."
"What lifestyle would that be Gendry?" Andrew asked.
"Um, either goth or emo. I'm not quite sure." Gendry admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "Arya knows about it better, I'll ask her again about it.
"I see," Andrew thinks about this before commenting. "Well, I have to admit, I have trouble differentiating between goths and emos myself."
"You and me both," Gendry laughed before adding. "And to think that Shireen is technically my cousin, you know...since I'm Robert's illegitimate son."
"Oh yes. Of course," Andrew recalled how Gendry revealed that he had relations to Robert Baratheon. "It must be great to have some family relations with someone who is close friends with your girlfriend, right?"
"Yeah, that's true…You know, Shireen was 'actually' Arya's first kiss," Gendry remarked.
"What?" Andrew was caught off guard by that confession, as he looked at Gendry with a shocked expression. "Did you just say that Shireen was Arya's first kiss?"
"Yup," Gendry confirmed. "Arya doesn't like talking about it much. She says it's just a phase that she was going through. Along with it being something personal between them."
"I understand," Andrew nodded. "I'm quite surprised that Arya hasn't given Alex a kiss yet considering how close they've gotten."
"Ah, I doubt it'll happen. Even if it does, she won't talk much about it either. It would be between her and Alex." Gendry replied with a shrug.
"I guess you're right," Andrew sighed before getting back to what they were talking about before. "Anyway, my point is, I'm not bothered that you're bisexual. Besides, I've seen plenty of people around who have different sexual orientations, such as homosexual, transgendered, interracial, and lesbian. So I'm pretty much used to it."
"Wow. That's fascinating, dude."
"Yup," Andrew smiled before placing his right arm on Gendry's shoulders. "And I'll always be your best friend, and I will always be here to support you, no matter what."
Gendry smiled, returning the gesture, placing his left arm on Andrew's shoulders. "I'm here for you too dude, we'll always have each other's backs, just like the days when we were spending time together in Westeros."
"Can't argue with you there," Andrew laughed heartily. "I have to admit, we've grown 'really' close since then."
"Yeah, that's true." Gendry agreed, laughing heartily.
They said nothing else as they both sat on the couch together. They were looking all buddy-buddy-like as if they were sharing a true bromantic moment 'together', just the two of them. It seemed that nothing could 'possibly' ruin this moment between the two of them.
Sadly, that bonding moment came to an abrupt end when they both heard a meow coming from Andrew's bedroom. This caught their attention as they then saw Jumly; Andrew's tortoiseshell cat, head into the living room and approached the couch that he and Gendry were sitting on.
As soon as she was in front of the couch, Jumly sat down and gave Andrew that pleading look. Andrew knew that look from anywhere as he then sighed before getting off the couch and looking down at the cat.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to feed Jumly since she likes having her dry cat food served to her in her special bowl," Andrew exclaimed.
With that, Andrew headed straight for the kitchen, with Jumly trailing right behind him, and right underneath his feet. Gendry felt like checking this out for himself, so he stood up and followed them into the kitchen.
By the time Gendry entered the kitchen, he saw Andrew with a silver bowl and bag of dry cat food as he dumped some of it into the bowl, while Jumly was standing right next to him, looking up at the bowl and meowing a couple of times.
"Alright Jumly, alright," Andrew said softly as placed the bowl down onto the cat mat where her water bowl was. "Here you go."
Shortly afterwards, Jumly went over to the bowl and started chowing down on it, as Gendry walked right over to Andrew's side. It was then Gendry was smiling at the cat and how she was eating her food. He then commented to Andrew.
"Jumly's sure one sociable cat, huh," Gendry admitted with a laugh.
"Yeah. She sure is," Andrew sighed in agreement as he watched Jumly. "But I still love her."
Gendry nodded. "Yeah, I can tell, what with how you've been taking care of her and all that."
"Mhmm," Andrew nodded before facing Gendry again. "Alex has been handling her allergies to cats a lot better since she's been spending time with me at my house more often."
"Oh yeah, is that true?" He asked curiously.
"Yes, it is," Andrew confirmed. "Alex has also been taking allergy pills every day, and it helps her."
He smiled and nodded. "That's pretty good."
"It sure is," Andrew agrees as he remembered something that he decided to bring up. "Oh, I didn't mention this before. But Alex wants me to get another cat after we found one that's up for adoption."
Now curious about this, Gendry asked him. "Oh, and who is this new cat you have in mind?"
"Her name is Mitty and she happens to be a black Turkish Angora cat with a white belly," Andrew answered him truthfully.
"And, Alex suggested you get that cat?" Gendry queried.
"She sure did," Andrew confirmed.
"Have you made the adoption plans for her already?"
"Yes. I have," Andrew nodded in confidence.
Smiling Gendry continued. "Well, that's a good thing then, you'll give Mitty a forever home, right?"
"It certainly is," Andrew commented. "And I have Alex to thank for that. I also hope that she and Jumly will get along."
"Hey, you guys will find a way to make it work out. I'm sure of it," Gendry assured him.
"Thank you Gendry," Andrew thanked him. "I appreciate the support."
Gendry grinned and then replied. "Anytime, Andy."
It was at this point that Jumly was just about done eating her dry cat food, and he drank some of the water that was in her water bowl. She then walked back over to the living room, approached the couch that Andrew and Gendry were sitting on, and then jumped up on it.
Andrew and Gendry took notice of this as they took a peek and saw Jumly sitting on the couch for themselves. As soon as they saw her, she meowed at both of them, which got them to smile.
"Guess Jumly wants to hang out with us, huh?" Gendry commented.
"Yeah. It seems that we happen to be in good company, dude," Andrew said with a sly smirk.
"Oh yeah, that's true." Gendry agreed with a smirk of his own.
It was then the two of them shared yet another hearty laugh, which took place for a few moments or so. Afterwards, they stopped laughing and were wondering what their next objective should be.
"So, Andy, what do you think we should do now?" Gendry asked.
"Hmmm," Andrew did some thinking and came up with a suggestion. "How about we watch a movie together? Along with Jumly."
Gendry smiled and agreed. "Watching a movie together would be a great idea dude."
"Now what movie should we watch together?" Andrew questioned.
Gendry thought for a moment. "Hmm, you know, I had a thought, how about the original Die Hard?"
"Die Hard," Andrew looked curious. "I don't think I heard of that movie."
"It's an action movie set during Christmas starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman," Gendry explained. "Without spoiling too much it's about a New York City police detective who is caught up in a terrorist takeover of a Los Angeles skyscraper while visiting his estranged wife."
"Sounds interesting," Andrew smiled. "I'm sure I'll love it."
"Glad to hear it, c'mon, we should watch it right now."
"You said it," Andrew smirked in amusement.
It was then the two of them headed back to the couch, with their arms on each other's shoulders. As they approached the couch, Jumly looked up at them and meowed again.
Afterwards, they took their seats on the couch again and got themselves comfortable, keeping their arms on each other's shoulders. They were planning on making the most of the bromance that they were spending together.
As soon as they got comfortable, Jumly decided to get onto Andrew's lap, where she proceeded to start kneading on it. It was clear that she was getting herself comfortable as well before lying down on his lap. Gendry had to smirk in admiration at this before he commented.
"Man, Jumly seriously loves sleeping on your lap," Gendry commented.
"Yeah, she sure does," Andrew laughed. "Anyway Gendry, mind grabbing the remote for the TV so we can start the movie that we'll be watching together?"
"Sure thing," Gendry replied.
He picked up the remote from the table and then worked on finding the movie and soon found it, getting himself comfortable next to Andrew, and putting his left arm on his shoulder again.
It didn't take long for the movie to start up, and the two guys were sitting 'really' close to one another. They truly enjoyed being with each other at this moment.
"You know something Gendry," Andrew started with a sincere smile. "I'm glad that I was able to hang out with you today."
"Me too," Gendry said quietly. "Thanks for letting me come clean to you too about being bisexual, dude. I appreciate you accepting me for who I am."
"It was no trouble at all," Andrew exclaimed. "We're best friends, and we're here for each other. And I am proud that you came clean with me."
"Glad to hear it," Gendry replied, blushing slightly.
"Anyway, why don't we enjoy the rest of this movie together?" Andrew suggested.
"Along with Jumly." Gendry quipped with a laugh.
"Yes. Yes, along with Jumly too," Andrew laughed heartily. "We can still spend the rest of the day together and make the most of it together. It might get a little bromantic, but that's okay. As long as we're together, this bromance will only bring us closer together."
"You said it," Gendry replied with another laugh.
The two of them let out some hearty laughs together for several minutes before they relaxed, got comfy again, and watched the movie together.
It was apparent by now that things were looking great and strong for the two of them. As if fate didn't bring them together that day, when Andrew was sent on a mission abroad to Westeros to investigate a murder, where he was paired with Gendry, things between them increased further when Gendry admitted to him and confessed that he was bisexual.
This was made true since Andrew had no problem with Gendry's sexual orientation at all, especially since he always did feel a little closer to Gendry than he thought, whether it was because they had similar struggling childhoods, or something else.
The reason for this didn't matter to either of them. It was clear that their friendship was not going to be affected by this at all. And whenever the time came, or when the situation calls for it, they would always back each other up, no matter what. That's all that 'really' mattered between the two of them...
THE END!
Well, that's it for this one-shot. I hope you enjoyed this story, and have enjoyed all three one-shots that made up this trilogy.
Now, Assassin Master Ezio 91 did a great job of helping me with this story, giving ideas like the game being played that's Skyrim, as well as suggesting the movie that they both watch at the end with Jumly, which happens to be the original Die Hard.
Also, I hope that I did a good job of depicting Gendry as being bisexual here since he's dating Arya. My partner suggested that Arya would be bisexual too, giving a bigger depth to it, aside from her becoming close to Alex, who may or may not be bisexual too. Honestly, I think the two of us did a tremendous job with sorting this one-shot out, coming up with ideas left to right, and just having fun while writing it. And for that, I am honestly proud of writing this with him.
Lastly, the mention of Andrew getting a new cat named Mitty; a black Turkish Angora cat, was inspired by my other late cat Little Bit, or Bitty, who had passed away on the 24th of October. So I had to include that in here as a minor tribute of some kind. I hope you all understand this.
Anyway, now that I'm done with the trilogy, I don't know if I feel up to writing anymore stories anytime soon. It's a bit tricky, so I'll need to think. Until I do come up with something else, all I can say is tune in again.
In the meantime, you can leave yourself a review for this story if you want to. And you can tell us (me and Assassin Master Ezio 91) what you thought about it. Of course, that's optional, so it's entirely up to you guys.
Aside from that, I got nothing else to say. So until the next time I decide to write a new story, I hope you all enjoyed the Love and Duty trilogy that I did with these three authors. And with all that said and done, thanks again for reading everyone!
