[012] [action/video] forgot to set the alarm

[Action]

[Interestingly enough, Sunday morning doesn't look nearly as exciting as it had on Saturday night. Touya wakes up with one thought on his mind: wedding.]

[...wedding.]

[Oh holy hell, WEDDING?!]

[Touya bolts upright, his kingly wedding apparel still hung up delicately and ready for the festivities. Ready for him to marry Yue in. Joining a princess and a prince to become rulers of Luceti. How on earth did he ever think this was his life? Touya looks next to him, wondering if Yue is still there or if he has to go tearing through the village looking for him.]

[Video]

[Once he's caught up with Yue, Touya takes a moment for probably a needless announcement, but nonetheless...]

In case anyone is confused, Yue and I are not getting married today.

...and I'm not the king of Luceti.

[Touya looks awkwardly at the camera for another beat and then shuts it off after looking appropriately kerfluffled.]

...sounds like I missed a lot more than I thought. [Yeah, it happens when you're a thief in hiding and dealing with boys who try to hit you with books, Kairi.]

It started out okay but then I invited the whole village to watch me marry Yue and ascend to the throne. [Cue muffled sound of Touya putting his face in his hands.] I can't delete the entry.

Well I mean...everybody was kind of doing weird stuff all week, right? Maybe nobody will even remember it.

I hope so.

...but I rode around town on a horse. [More facehands.]

Where'd you get the horse anyway? My housemate spent the whole week running around trying to find one.

Well I guess it doesn't matter. Everybody probably did stuff they wish they didn't this week. Nobody will hold it against you, promise.

...I really don't know. I don't know where all of my king-clothes came from either. I didn't think about it at the time.

[He snorts slightly.] I'm sure no one will hold it against me, but what about Yue?

Everything about the last week just kind of came and went. Funny how they can keep doing this to us, isn't it?

I don't think I've met Yue, but I don't see why anybody would hold it against anyone in the village.

I must have embarrassed him, though. I was happy in the moment, but maybe inviting everybody in Luceti to our wedding was a bit of overkill.

How did it come and go for you? Nearly marry anybody?

...Maaaybe just a little bit. How long can he hold a grudge though, really. ...actually yeah, how long can he hold a grudge?

Um...well, I spent most of my week being chased by horses and carrying a fake tiara until I ran into this boy I know who tried repeatedly hitting me with books. Totally normal.

[This is a terrifying thing to think about. 'How long can he hold a grudge?' Terrifying.]

Yue's much older than he looks, he could still be holding grudges I don't even know about. Against people I don't even know. [Oi. He hopes Yue doesn't hold a grudge against him. It could be a really long time before he sees Yue again.]

Book assault. Sounds like fun. The horse thing sounds a little dangerous, though.

...well. That's not daunting at all. Good luck. But you're friends...so...that should count right?

On the other hand, it helped that he couldn't actually see me. The horse thing wasn't so much dangerous as it was exhausting. It really only got dangerous when one of the horses had a sword.

How disappointing.

[Nel can't possibly restrain her amused smile, and she doesn't really try.]

I'm sure you were looking forward to coming, Neliel-san. [There's a small laugh in his voice.]

I would have very much enjoyed the ceremony, I think. I can't be sure since I've never been to one before.

That said, it's probably for the best it didn't happen. That would have been much more difficult to explain.

...you're probably right. [Though part of him wonders if would be so terrible to be married to Yue and Yuki.]

[Agh, they were too young. They had plenty of time for that sort of thing later.]

It at least saved us the awkward discussion over how we felt about it. How was your week, Neliel-san?

Directly speaking, uneventful. I was bypassed by this experiment. But a few people I know were less fortunate, so I spent most of my time helping them.

Not that bad, really.

I'm sure they appreciate it now. Even if they might have thought you were the one acting strange.

Well, that's what happens with experiments like that one. I'm just glad I could help a few of them.

By the way, I noticed you said "today".

[Yue already woke up and had a realization of his own, but he has an ability to hide that Touya unfortunately does not. Which is why there's the aroma of breakfast cooking, and the sound of someone moving around in the kitchen who certainly isn't the guardian.]

[Touya hears the movement before smelling the breakfast, and is fairly certain what just happened. He flops back into bed and sighs, gathering himself. After a moment, he gets up and does the only thing he can:]

[He prances into the kitchen with his little coin-scarf on his head.]

Darling. [He swishes his cape--the cape and the scarf are the only things he's bothered to put on though. Under the cape he still has his pajamas on.] What on earth do you think you're doing? I should call the servants to make us our rice and coffee.

[Yukito glances up at the sound of Touya's approach, but at the sight of the... costume, his automatic greeting dies on his lips as he suddenly finds himself trying to hold in a laugh. Which he does, though it's still obvious enough that he probably need not have bothered.]

That good of an experiment, was it?

[Touya sighs--even trying to lighten the mood, he's a terrible actor. He pulls the cape off his shoulders and drapes it over the back of one of the kitchen chairs.]

It would've been better if everything in this past week hadn't happened as a result of the experiment. [He drags the scarf off his head and hangs it on the back of the chair with the cape.] It was all pretty magical.

...though maybe if we ever were married, I wouldn't ride around on a horse inviting anybody I saw.

But it would save so much money on invitations....

[Yukito slides the omelette he was cooking from the pan onto a plate and smiles at Touya, his expression sympathetic despite the teasing tone.]

Was there something in particular that was so magical?

[Touya raises an eyebrow at Yuki and starts eating his omelet. Alright Mr. Smarty-turtleneck-and-sweater... you win this time.]

I don't know. I don't really want to be a king... But I felt like I'd actually done something to make Yue happy. And he even smiled. [He cuts another piece of omelet and stares at it for a minute.] It wasn't perfect, though. I didn't realize it until now, but I missed seeing you.

Yes, well, Yue-san looked much prettier in that dress than I ever could have managed. It's probably for the best.

[There's certainly laughter in his eyes as he teases his other self, but at the same time he isn't terribly happy at the way Yue decided to hide and leave him to deal with the aftermath of the experiment. Perhaps prodding him enough will make him talk.]

Still, I am glad it's over. Though it only seems fair that in the next experiment we share the time.

Pity. I was so looking forward to it. [Completely deadpan.]

Yeah, well. I'm sure it would've been a great party, but I'm still a little young to get married. [Nevermind that whole Snow White thing that Yue did and Touya had somehow ended up as Prince Charming.]

No harm in waiting, eh. Plus, it might be a bit unsettling to only get married from something the Malnosso did.
