So uh...Yeah. XD This is Exactly What It Says On The Tin. ^_^' It's an 07-Ghost Valentine's Day fanfic, and if you haven't figured out, my favorite pairing is CastorxLabrador. So that's what this is, with a bit of FrauxTeito on the side, just for my hime-sama.

This is just the first chapter of this, so I'll upload the second (and probably last) chapter tomorrow, actually on V-day.

Just to warn you, the next chapter is so sweet it gave my friend diabetes. So be warned. *heart*

Valentine's Day: It's a day of red and pink hearts, a day of happy warmth, a day for confessing your love to that one special someone…

Unless, of course, you were a bishop. Then you were far, far too busy to waste time on a stupid romantic holiday. After all, every single couple in the entire church (and some who just appeared from distant towns) wanted you to bind their hearts together forever. Valentine's Day wasn't even until tomorrow, and still he had bound so many people together. The work grew extremely tiring and redundant after you've blessed so many people for so many years.

And this year, Castor had desperately wanted to actually spend time with a certain purple-haired bishop this year. He and Labrador never got to go on dates, partially because Labrador was still uncomfortable with being affectionate in public and also because, well, they literally had no free time.

Castor rounded the corner of the corridor quickly, keeping an eye out for people wishing for his blessing, and entered his workroom where his dolls were kept. He gazed longingly at them, wishing he had the time to work on them. Ever since he and Labrador had gotten together, he had had less time to do anything with them than ever. Not that he really minded; he much preferred the other bishop instead of inanimate objects. Still…

Castor was jerked out of his thoughts by the door to the room slamming open and then closing again. He whirled around in surprise to see Frau panting while holding the door knob to make sure no one got in. "What are you doing?" he asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Frau growled. "Same as you, I'm trying to escape so I can take a short break from all this lovey-dovey crap." He turned and leaned against the door with a sigh.

"Aren't you the one who keeps porn in the library?"

"Porn and romance are not the same things," Frau corrected. "And I may not be asked to bind people's hearts together, but I'm still a bishop, so people still ask me to bless their love."

Castor groaned. "You have no idea how sick I am of hearing that phrase. 'Bind our hearts together'! It's cute the first 50 times, but after that…"

"Well, aren't we in a good mood, eh, Castor?" Frau questioned sarcastically.

Castor rolled his eyes. "Right back at you. You're angrier than usual. Are you just mad because you can't take Teito out on a date tomorrow?"

"So what if that's true? You're mad since you can't go out with Labrador, am I right?" the blond shot back.

Castor sighed and closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Just go away. You're giving me a headache," he said.

Frau frowned but opened the door again without argument. "I really do wish we could take them on a date tomorrow though," he commented with a pause, and then he shut the door behind him.

Castor opened his eyes, turned, and looked thoughtfully at a row of dolls on his shelf, an idea hatching in his brain. "Maybe, just maybe…" he breathed, lighting up. He grabbed a sheet of paper and then scribbled something before running outside, his energy renewed.

"Here you are, little lamb," Labrador said as he handed a rose to the young woman with a smile. She giggled and looked loving at the man who stood next to her. Her boyfriend nodded his thanks at Labrador and then pulled her away with a kiss, walking with his hand around her waist and hers on his.

Labrador waved his good-bye and then dropped his head, walking deeper into the garden, his flowers rising up to brush against his skin. Usually he was alone here, but today there were people—or more specifically, couples—everywhere. Looking at them made him sad, since he knew they would be together tomorrow while he and Castor wouldn't. Both of them would have a busy day spent handing out flowers and blessings to the young lovers of the church. Just like every year…

"Labrador!"

Labrador looked up to see Castor waving with a huge smile on his face as he ran, looking happier than Labrador had seen him in awhile. He had been moping the last few days, and Labrador couldn't quite figure out why, but if something had made him happy now, then it was all good. "Hi, Castor," Labrador greeted with a smile of his own as he approached, finding the other man's happiness contagious.

"Labrador, hey," Castor said. He wrapped his arms around Labrador and kissed him suddenly. Labrador's eyes widened, but Castor pulled away almost immediately, holding his hands and gazing into his purple eyes.

"W-what was that about?" the purple-haired man asked breathlessly, looking away from Castor's piercing gaze.

"We're going on a date tomorrow," he announced with a grin.

Labrador cocked his head slightly, finding Castor's eyes again to make sure he wasn't joking. "But how—?"

Castor put a finger on Labrador's lips, silencing him. "Don't worry about it; I have a plan. Just be ready by 4 tomorrow, okay?"

Labrador nodded silently, and Castor smiled again before turning and running back. "See you tomorrow!" the redhead called after him.

Labrador waved in silent shock and lowered his hand slowly. "What on earth…?" he wondered quietly. Still, his flowers brightened and perked up eagerly since he was happy and excited, and he laughed in spite of himself. "Castor… You're so weird…" he said affectionately, a touch of pink on his cheeks. "I guess I'm looking forward to tomorrow…"


It will be cute. You have been warned. :)
