Gwendal had been waiting for this moment for over 100 years. He had been in love with the same man for 150 years now. His childhood friend and once lover was running through his head and he could not stop him. Thoughts of him would not vanish, no matter how many little animals he knitted. He realized this as he looked at the 10th animal of the day and realized that all of them were him. They weren’t animals at all, but they were the one he loved.
“Damn it! Why is it I can’t get him out of my mind!” he said angered as he put his kitting needles in his desk. He sighed in his frustration. If I can’t make it through my day without thinking of him, why don’t I do something about it? I can’t. I couldn’t. I shouldn’t. It’s too late.
He turned from his desk and looked out the window. There he was. His most perfect being was riding on the horse with his Majesty. He saw his arms around him and put his hand to the window. “Do you know how much you torment me?” he said nearly silently. He closed his eyes and leaned against the glass to watch them closer. His love dismounted and took his majesty into his arms as he set him down. Gwendal wasn’t sure but he could swear that his love looked right at him and smiled. He closed his eyes and thought on that moment, real or not, it was worth it to him.
How long he was there must have been longer than the second he thought that it was. A voice woke him from his dream, a soft and loving voice. This voice was accompanied by a soft hand touching his face. He was startled and his eyes flashed open. He looked into the endless ocean of eyes that looks at him. That smile is too cruel.
“You know, you look lost and alone from down there” the voice said as the man pointed to the courtyard. “But, from this view you look content, but almost in pain. Though, the pain in your face also makes you look beautiful.” The hand traced down Gwendals face.
“Gunter…” Gwendal said softly and then he realized they were not alone in the room. “Majesty, welcome home.” He said as he straightened himself out. Yuuri had a huge smile on his face. Was he watching us? Oh no… Gwendal sighed as he sat down in his chair. “What can I do for you your Majesty?” He watched the fool of a King in front of him walk over and whisper something into Gunters ear. Whatever it was, it made Gunter blush 5 shades. He turned to Gwendal and smiled. “Nothing really, I just thought that I should say hello to you before I go find my fience. I’m sure I’ve got to have a few words with him, well…” he paused for a moment to laugh. “I’m sure he’s got a few words for me. I needed to have a good face before I go face him.” Yuuri walked out the door waving at Gunter. Gwendal swore he saw Yuuri give him a “thumbs up” as he shut the door behind him.
Gunter watched his Majesty leave. He couldn’t believe that the one that he once loved had given him the approval for his next move. Apparently Yuuri had felt that Gunter was a little late in acting, but he understood. Just as Yuuri was slow in accepting Wolframs love and loving only him, Gunter had been more oblivious to the feelings of the man he once loved, and saw again in his future. Where should he start he wondered as he paced around the room. His Majesty supports whatever I do next, but how do I. Can I? Should I?
Gwendal watched Gunter pace in front of him. He smirked a bit. He was so cute when he was frustrated.
“Gunter” “Gwendal” They both said each others names at the same time. They walked to each other. Gunter was frazzled in expression, and Gwendal was twiddling his fingers. Gwendal was the first to touch the other. He raised his hand to Gunters face and cupped it. Shinou couldn’t have made a more perfect being. Gunter raised his hand and placed it on the side of Gwendals face. Shinou couldn’t have made a braver soul.
“Gunter…I” “Gwendal…” Again they spoke into each others words.
Gwendal kneeled beside Gunter and Gunter looks at him in surprise. “Gunter, I’ve loved you for over 150 years. I don’t think that I can spend another year watching you without asking you this.” Gwendal’s face was red but then he calmed. “Gunter von Christ, will you marry me?”
The room was silent. Gwendal realized he used the form of asking Gunter that Yuuri had used for Wolfram at Christmas. He did plan on using the form of this world once he knew if Gunter would say yes.
Gunter kneeled down beside Gwendal and looked at him. He placed his arm out as though pleading. “Will you be with me forever? Will you spend the rest of your long life with me?” Gunter asked in a voice that Gwendal knew was really Gunter.
Gwendal took hold of the hand in front of him and kissed it. He stood and pulled the frailer man to him. He pulled him into a kiss. This kiss seemed to be what both had been waiting for. The pleasure and love of over 100 years was felt in the kiss from both parties. After the kiss Gwendal slapped Gunters left cheek. Gunter smirked and followed this with his own slapping of Gwendal’s left cheek. They looked at each other and simply smiled.
The walked out of Gwendals room holding hands. Wolfram and Yuuri were standing in the hall holding each other. Yuuri snickered as he saw that both of them had red cheeks. Wolfram kissed Yuuri’s neck to make him laugh. “So, only one of you couldn’t ask. You both had to huh?” Wolfram said acting very brat like. Gwendal looked at his brother and he tried to scowl,but having Gunter attached to him he couldn’t. Yuuri peeped up. “It’s about time the two of you figured your thing out. So, you both said yes I take it?”
Gunter and Gwendal looked at each other. “Always and Forever” they said together as they walked down the hall to Gunters room.
“Always and forever” was the echo in the whole palace that day.
