And now, finally, for spazzyfroggies, here is her Peony/Nephry.
Title: Goodbye Love
Fandom: ToA
Pairing: Peony/Nephry
Rating: G
She heard a quiet “Please, leave us” from outside before Peony - Emperor Peony Upala Malkuth IX - entered, his sudden appearance causing a like-wise disappearance of all Nephry’s bridesmaids.
As the last one closed the double doors behind her, Peony whispered, “He doesn’t deserve you, you know that?”
Though his voice was low and quiet, Nephry heard him and sighed, reaching out to Peony for him to come closer to where she had been sitting, doing last minute final touches on make-up, hair, and dress. “You’d say that no matter what, Your Majesty,” she replied, smiling up at the man as he took her hand.
He winced as she used his title. “Please, Nephry,” he said, lightly emphasizing her name, “Peony, today, of all days. The day that I…” he trailed off, and Nephry gave a small - sad - half-smile. “I don’t want to lose you, Nephry!” he exclaimed, going to one knee before her, holding her hand first to his lips and then to his head while still clasped in both of his.
“Peony - do- don’t kneel…” she trailed off as she put her other hand on his shoulder, trying to draw him upwards. “You’re not…” She was going to say ‘You’re not going to lose me’ but she knew that that was a lie, at least a sense, so didn’t finish her statement, instead settling for a soft sigh and a whispered name.
“I know, I know,” replied the blonde man, understanding her thoughts though she did not voice them. “I just wish… but then, wishes don’t come true, do they? At least… that’s the way it seems… to me.” He looked up, his blue, blue eyes catching her golden brown ones. “It seems that those things I wish for most in my life are left far beyond my reach…”
“Peony,” she whispered, but he shook his head and continued on.
“But I have one wish that must come true. Please, Nephry, be happy. No matter what, no matter who you are with or where you live or what you do, just… be happy. Can you promise me that? When you smile, when you are happy, I will be happy, even if I cannot have what I have wished for since we were both small and carefree. Will you smile - a real smile mind you, not a fake one - will you smile for me?”
Nephry’s voice caught in her throat as Peony pressed his lips to her hand again, keeping his eyes on hers for all but a moment when he closed them, obviously fighting to keep a lid on his emotions. She took several deep breaths to steady herself, and then leaned down, bringing Peony’s face up to meet her own. The kiss was chaste, but conveyed so much emotion that the two had to break it off quickly and did so simultaneously.
“I wish… there is so much to wish for, is there not?” She asked, half musing to herself. “I… promise. I will be happy. So don’t worry about me, alright? I am not worth causing the Emperor distress. Keep your people safe, Peony,” she smiled as she said his name and continued, “and I will be happy.”
At her words, Peony’s face lit up, and he stood, drawing her to her feet at the same time. “It shall be as you command, milady.” He bowed, and then straightened before leaning over to kiss her lightly on the forehead. “I love you, dear Nephry. If you ever have need of me, or if there is any way I can help you, please, do not hesitate…”
She stopped him with a finger to his lips. “I will be fine, and I will not go around properly placed obstacles by using our friendship.” She smiled in a way that said ‘I know I just left myself a loophole’ and added, “But if I have a dire need, you are always one of my dearest friends, and friends must help each other, right?”
Peony nodded, but the sudden ringing of the bells chiming the hour covered his voiced response. When the sound faded, both of them looked surprised and chagrined. “It’s almost time! I should leave, and I will see you again later.”
Nephry nodded, laughing a little. “And I’ll save a dance for you, Peony, my friend.”
“I will be honored to dance with you, my dear Nephry. Until then, my best wishes, and congratulations.”
“Until then…” Nephry trailed off, leaving off one word that they had never needed to say.
Love.
