Chapter ten: Dance of the Matchmaker
Yuudai sat on his throne bored, there will was nothing he could think of doing. Cheri had bounced off somewhere; he didn't care where Ulrike was, the less he saw of her the better. Puca and Greta were cuddled together leaning against the fountain asleep.
He really was quite lonely, his brother was Sunoom in other words the sun and he had his moon, Yuudai was Moonus in other words the moon but he didn't have his sun. He had had his sun but now all that was left was Puca.
It had been just Puca, himself and this enchanted layaway for centuries now, after his sun passed, he couldn't stand losing another. His only happiness was that his sun died young. He finally had the time to burn and all the things he had wanted to do had completely left his messed up head!
He stood up and spun himself around, around, around. He felt like a little kid playing once of those ridiculous spin till you're dizzy games, Dizzy Dizzy Dinosaurs or something, wasn't it. Then it occurred to him.
While his brother had been a spirit that watched over all the others, he had liked to do a certain thing, what was it he heard the gossiping girls call it. He spun a little faster and then stopped suddenly almost knocking himself out.
That was it, matchmaking.
He was sure that he would be able to make something out of that, he naturally rubbed people the wrong way. So here was his chance to make something of his positively rubbing-people-the-wrong-way ability.
His mother had always said, if he wasn't busy sulking, dancing or following Daiyuu around. Then he was rubbing someone the wrong way until they tried to hit him and found themselves in trouble with the young boy's mother or even worse his father.
One person had intrigued him in their little band of merry misfits, Von Walde, or was it Von Voltaire. He was such a charming man, he almost didn't see how the man was single. But of course with the little looks the silvette threw him.
Goodness the naughty man probably kept all the women away. So since he wasn't making a move on good ole Waldey, no one would mind if he innocently made a move on the man. What was the worst either could do.
He was immortal, only falling death to his own mistake or his brother. They could chop him thin like a salami, he would pay to see their faces when he came back into a full person again. He smiled to himself and started spinning around again.
He loved causing ruckus,
Nothing got his blood pumping more.
Well other than obvious actions and dancing but there was always time for that. For now he was going to push cupid out the way, grab his all great quiver, and take that almighty bow. Spin his way out of his layaway.
Yes Moonus Yuudai was reporting for duty,
He was going matchmaking,
And he was armed!
Gwendal rubbed his sore eye, he was tired and stressed. His work load had sky rocketed lately. He hadn't seen anyone in a week since the whole Shinou has an older brother episode blew up. Gunter was always hovering around but he didn't count.
Not only that, Greta was gone. Wolfram was constantly sending him accusing looks as to why his daughter and/or his mother weren't back. Yuuri was being Yuuri wanting to run off and find them. The sage was pregnant, Shinou was a …. Fruit freak eating weirdo with a goofy smile and a mixed up family including a psycho brother with a brother complex. Who else was there, ah yes.
Lest he not forget his other brother and Yozak, pussyfooting around in a corner like two of those humans playing the kissing corner game. Did he sound old and bitter yet? He sure felt like he was and he had barely scratched the surface.
A brief knock at his door had him standing up and putting his stern face on, "What is it?" he asked tiredly and one of the maids came in with a nervous smile and bowed to him. He couldn't remember her name for the life of him.
Blonde hair, red dress, brown eyes. She was one of the three main gossips of the castle and also one of the same three main maids. What was it Gloria, Moria, Cloria. She was still looking at him as if expecting something.
"What is it?!" he asked again, this time the touch of annoyance and irritability in it. She gave him another funny look as if she thought he had finally lost the plot and flicked her blonde bouncy locks over her shoulder.
"There is a guest for you, Master Yuu McMoon" she stated somewhat coldly and Gwendal was worried he had obviously missed something important that she had said. The woman was never cold to anyone.
"Send him in" the commander stated tiredly as he sat down not bothering to wait for his guest. He knew who it was just by the name, was the man really as stupid as Shinou or did he really not know how obvious the name was.
"Thank you my beautiful Doria" the white blonde haired sorcerer purred seductively kissing the maids palm like she was the only woman left on earth and he wanted her to bear his children. The very idea of little Yuudai's running around resurrecting dead legendary people made Gwendal sick!
Doria swooned and giggled with a silly grin on her face and red cheeks, she told him to behave and turned to leave, Yuudai reared his pale palm and sent a somewhat hard spank towards her behind, leaving her squealing as she hurried out the door.
As soon as she was gone the man cringed and wiped his hands on his sorcerer robes like he had just been forced to touch something foul. Gwendal didn't even want to know why he had bothered to act like a sleazy gentleman if he was so sickened.
"What are you doing?" Yuudai asked curiously throwing himself into the comfortable but supportive chair in front of Gwendal's desk. The commander looked at him, half shocked and half concerned for his own health.
"You steal my mother and potential niece, you flirt with my maid, break-" he was cut off
"Correction I didn't break in, I walked in and the guards let me in, you should really train them better, for such a remarkable man, your troops really don't take after your teaching" Yuudai tsked walking his fingers up the side of Gwendal's desk with a purr.
"- break and enter and then you ask me what I am doing? I should throw you in jail or even draw my sword to you" Gwendal continued as if he hadn't been interrupted by the strange man. He congratulated himself on being able to keep a straight face as the man molested his desk.
"I really don't see why a big strong man such as yourself is single, there are so many eligible bachelorettes that would die to have your callous hands, unless that is, you fight for the other side" Yuudai followed his fingers around the desk and turned the commander's chair.
Gwendal's eyes were wide, his cheeks flushed in embarrassment and humiliation and his mouth was open. His breath was frantic and completely out of sync or control. Yuudai probably would have been worried if he was paying attention to the signs of a possible panic attack.
"You aren't responding are you awed by my forwardness or are you surprised to have been found out?" he pushed with a sneaky smile; he leaned his head in even closer as if he was going to kiss the panicking man.
A swooshing sound caught Yuudai's attention and even before he knew what the sound was he jumped back. When he saw the royal dagger embedded in the wall he had never been happier that he had followed his gut feeling.
"Is everything alright Gwendal?"
Both of the room's inhabitants turned to face the door, standing there was the Maou's advisor but this was no ordinary Gunter. The man had once been a legendary swordsman, years and years ago. They say he was so fast, so talented and ruthless with his enemies.
The man they were now facing was a shadow of that man but they both had no doubt if he was pushed far enough, light might just shine on that shadow. Gwendal almost breathed in relieve, Yuudai internally smirked.
Things were certainly going to turn interesting!
"Everything is fine" Gwendal managed to rasp as he pushed his chair back from the crazy older man and walked to the other end of his desk. He was going to put a lock on his door one of these days to stop these crazy people from disturbing him.
He was just glad that he hadn't already done it or else who knew what would have happened if Gunter hadn't been around to save his ass. Gunter walked closer to him and grabbed his lowered chin, he looked into his eyes as if to make sure before he backed off.
Yuudai clapped in applause,
"Bravo, almost like a forbidden love, the kooky but secretly legendary adviser saves the cold but secretly vulnerable general from the beautiful sorcerer that really needs to have a bed warmer but can't do it honestly in fear of upsetting the dead past lover" he proclaimed loudly.
"Kooky?" Gunter questioned
"Vulnerable?" Gwendal also wondered
'This guy is crazy' they both thought simultaneously
"But of course no good romance story can end without a fight so how about this for a reason" Yuudai smiled twirling briefly before a burst of colour left his twirling body and engulfed Gwendal, the poor guy didn't even have a chance.
"Well now, you have the choice Gwendal here can either have his lungs drowned or you can kill me and he will be freed" Yuudai smiled flicking his hair over his shoulder showing his glowing red eye, he really was having too much fun.
Gunter didn't waste time and he drew his sword before crouching into an offensive position, he didn't fully understand what was up with the mad brother of the Original king but he wasn't going to waste brain cells trying to understand.
He finally understood what Shinou had been trying to say.
In truth the fight didn't even last that long, it was almost as if the sorcerer couldn't be bothered either that or he was a coward, he ran – or rather he pranced around the tables giggling madly whilst Gwendal was trapped in an orb that was slowly filling up with water.
Gunter grew frustrated and kicked at a nearby chair, the chair clipped Yuudai in the leg and he tripped, colour burst from his finger once more and he stared at it blankly, wide eyes blinking in surprise.
He stood up and shook his finger but only a few sparks erupted, "You broke my magic finger, do you have any idea how long it takes to make your magic come from one easy place" he asked his blue eye darkening and his red eye glowing brighter.
Gunter shrugged,
"Try centuries" he yelled before he lunged for the long haired swordsman, meanwhile Gwendal was in a slight tizzle of his own, the burst of colour seemed to order the water to fill up much quicker than he wanted.
"Gunter!" he called banging against the strange orb as the water reached the top of his neck, he hated to admit weakness but he really wasn't a fan of water if he was completely honest with himself.
Gunter was too busy trying to gain the upper hand on the supposed legend, "I'm a little tied up at the moment Gwendal" when he didn't hear a response from the other he looked over Yuudai's shoulder and almost gasped when he noticed the water was almost at the top of the orb.
His eyes darkened and he kicked Yuudai in the stomach, as the multicolour haired male flew back into the wall Gunter was upon him driving his sword into his stomach. Yuudai's eyes widened and he gasped.
No matter how immortal he was, the initial entrance of any foreign object was always painful. The orb shattered and Gunter left his sword pinning the man to the wall as he rushed over to the coughing general.
He looked like a drowned puppy, Gunter couldn't help but think he almost looked cute, he could definitely pull off the almost drowned look. He almost groaned as his loins stirred at the thought of Gwendal after a shower.
If he looked this yummy and he had been drowned imagine if he had just come out of a much desired shower, the look of ecstasy on his face as the warm water drilled pleasantly on his back, wetting his smooth skin.
Pushing the thoughts aside in fear of gaining a big problem he pulled the weakened general into his arms and helped him stand. He pushed Gwendal behind him because something was nagging at him that they weren't quite done with the mad man yet.
"Too bad I never learnt mind controlling powers before my love died, I'm retired now you see" Yuudai explained tapping the other small desk near the wall not at all bothered by the fact he had a sword poking through his stomach.
Gwendal and Gunter stood shocked, Yuudai was almost surprised they didn't have their mouths wide open but at the same time he was glad they didn't, just in case they had nasty dentures and made him toss his cookies.
He was really too dignified for that. He reached down unbothered and pulled the annoying foreign object out of his persons; he never was fond of swords penetrating him, other things however was a different matter altogether.
"Ah yes!" he snapped his fingers and once again his magic was at work, the two were thrown towards each other till they touched stomach to stomach, faces inches apart, a large green vine tying them in place. He looked down at his finger and cooed in happiness, it seemed to be suddenly fixed.
"Thank you dear adviser for the idea of being 'tied up' now no romance story can end without a kiss and we all know that it isn't going to upset either of you, I know the objects of your fantasies and really Gunter you need to stop with the hand and Gwendal being virginal isn't helping your moods" Yuudai smirked.
Both growled at him with furious blushes,
"Well now don't disappoint" he chirped happily before tipping both their heads forward until their lips touched, he was worried they were going to repel as if burnt until their eyes slipped closed. He watched in happiness his plan for boredom had worked until their kisses seemed to get heated.
Oh dear, well I'll be off then, don't make me come back to see my efforts wasted Tatar" the two hardly noticed as the sorcerer smashed the window and stepped out as if there were a platform waiting for him.
The two separated briefly, watching each other with care in their eyes
"For a crazy sorcerer he really isn't that bad" Gunter smiled softly before he took to those lips once more. Gwendal didn't even bother to waste his breathe agreeing as he was led into another heated kiss.
All of a sudden the whole shower thoughts didn't seem too bad.
"How is it you managed to tell me about your mother and father and yet you never mentioned a brother?" Murata asked curiously as the two walked in the royal gardens, hands clasped together in a rare show of affection for each other.
Shinou blushed faintly and scratched the back of his head with his other hand,
"Well as you noticed he isn't exactly one to be proud of" he admitted ashamed, now that he thought of it, Yuudai may not have been the best sibling that he could have asked for but he was the only sibling he had had and he did take care of Shinou, even over himself.
Murata nodded and didn't say anymore on the matter he seemed to understand.
"I guess he really isn't that bad once you over look his eccentric manner" Murata finally stated not unkindly, in a strange way he did believe his own words. Shinou looked at him strangely with both eyebrows cocked.
It was almost like he didn't believe it.
The smash of a window made them both alerted
"That is what I call tied up", a loud and somewhat familiar voice
Both looked up and Shinou slapped his head, already his brother had started to cause trouble, if he wasn't careful their father really would kill them. No one would want to work with him if he continued to patronise them.
"Ah! Hello dear brother and his moon, good day we're having. Your friends may wish for a little help, till next time!"
The floating man's crackle pierced the air and with a loud bang followed by a burst of fruity colour, he was gone.
Shinou turned to look at Murata, who was still looking father befuddled,
"Still think he isn't that bad?" he teased with one eyebrow cocked
Murata sent him a dirty look before spinning on his heel and stalking towards the castle.
"How are they?" Yuuri asked worried as Giesela walked out of Gunter's private rooms and shut the door behind her, she smiled at his Maou's concern but really they seemed to be alright, Gwendal didn't even seem to have troubles despite the fact he was almost drowned.
"Fine, they'll be alright with some rest. I forbid any of you from disturbing them, despite how they acted Gwendal went through some tough times and I would rather he had a quiet evening. Father is well equipped to look after him tonight" she smiled before she went on her way.
Yuuri gave a breath of relief, he had been worried that they were hurt badly, after all it wasn't every day you saw Gunter carrying a somewhat lax Gwendal on his back with Giesela backing orders as they made their way to the medical unit.
"What the hell happened?!" Wolfram demanded,
Murata looked at Shinou but the blonde just flung his apple in the air and smiled sneakily before grabbing it before it went past his hands and taking a large crunchy bite. He turned and walked off shaking his head.
His brother was a strange one it was true.
However this time even he was shocked it wasn't often that his brother did things for the well being of others. He was proud that he had done such a selfless thing at a time when there were to be many hurts.
'I hope you find your sun soon brother, you do not deserve to die alone' he thought to himself as he paused by an open window to look out at the moon, he remembered back to the time the two of them would stay up for hours and watch the moon, Yuudai's arms always wrapped around his precious Daiyuu.
'This time it will be the other way around'
He turned and smiled as Murata stood beside him and linked arms with him, the two of them stared at the mysterious shining moon, both trapped in their own thoughts.
