This story's quite funny and I hope you like it!
Darius paced up and down his room in the Madach Tradehouse.
'Sir, what's wrong?' a voice said from behind him.
He turned around in the direction of his room door to see, to his surprise, Lord Vivec standing in the doorway in a I-am-cool pose, with his arms on his hips and his head held high.
'Lord Vivec!' Darius exclaimed.
'I see you are troubled, young one.' Vivec answered. 'What is wrong good friend?'
'Sir!' Darius gasped, still exasperated that Vivec was standing in his doorway, talking to him. 'You choose to speak with me? You humble me!'
'You have not answered my question.'
'Oh,' Darius said, looking down at his shoes with a sad look. 'Well, it's just that, there's been an attack, and one of my best soldiers, Garkaan, is a very clear suspect. He has all the appearances of the attacker. But I just can't work my mind to think he would try to kill anyone. And also he is one of my best soldiers, so he should have been able to kill anyone he tried to attack.'
'Hmm… who was attacked?'
'Eno Hlaalu.'
'Where is Garkaan now?'
'In the jail cells in the barracks.'
'Well,' Vivec started. 'I think he may be the attacker. But for now, he shall be sent to the prison above the temple. It is a much nicer place than the barracks prison.'
Darius had been hopping from foot to foot, waiting for a good answer, but now he looked back down at his shoes, a defeated look on his face.
'Yes sir…'
It was later that week that Vivec came back to Darius, a broad grin stretched across his face.
'Garkaan is innocent!' he proclaimed. 'We found the culprit! It was an Argonian form the Morag Tong. Hleely.'
'Who?'
'How should I know?' said Vivec, stepping closer to Darius. 'But hopefully, you'll like me more, cause I like you.'
'Of course I like you!' Darius cried. 'I liked you before! Who can't like you? You're Lord Vivec!'
Vivec took a few more steps closer.
'No, you misunderstand me,' he said. 'I really like you.'
He took another step closer, and planted a long, sweet kiss on Darius' lips. Darius pulled away, looking shocked.
'Sir! What-'
But then he was interrupted again, as Vivec grabbed him and kissed him. Darius couldn't help it. The kiss warmed him, he started to smile, then helped Vivec let the kiss carry on.
