Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Chapter Forty-three - Celebration

Seidou walks around the home, taking strong notice in the décor that had been placed around the ginormous mansion. With progress still being done. He turns to the female name 'Aliza', asking her about the current situation.

"H-Hey, um...Alissa, right?" "Aliza." She corrected rather calmly. "Right, Aliza...sorry. So, what's going on here?" She tilts her head slightly. "O-Oh, we're just getting master Shuu's birthday party set up!" Seidou jolts his head up, suddenly remembering the special date.

Aliza again, tilted her head. "Has...no one told you about it?" Seidou shook his head softly. "I'm aware of his birthday, but I don't recall Kanae ordering me to help." Aliza shrugged. "Maybe he forgot to mention it...? Oh well, I should get back to work. See you around, Takizawa!"

The female waved humbly, as did the male, watching as she headed towards the other direction. He sighs to himself. 'I wonder if Kanae actually forget to tell me, unless...' Seidou shook his head, scoffing at himself. 'No no, that's silly...of course he forgot, a lot has happened after all.'

Seidou sighs to himself, stretching his arms a little. 'Well...I shouldn't dwell on that for long; I'll go ask Matsumae what I can do to play my part.'

Seidou takes a deep breath, breathing out and putting on a rather warm smile. "Alright!"

Seidou moves along in search of the female, only...not long in his search, he was grabbed by the arm; yanked over to the side instantly, it had turned out that the perpetrator was no other than Kanae.

"What are you doing here?!" The younger male asked with genuine shock, only for Seidou to tilt his head with great amounts of confusion. "I...live here?" "No, I mean...what are you doing IN this room?!" Seidou lowers his head, lowering his eyebrows as well. He places his index finger on the lower half of his cheek.

"Hmm, well...I was hoping on talking to Matsumae-!" "Oh, so you want to find some time to flirt?" Seidou blushes immensely. "N-No!" He shouted; not angered, but only embarrassed. 

"I-It's not... It's not like that, really. I just wanted to ask her on what I should do to help...f-for the party...that you forgot to tell me about." 

Kanae blushes softly, clearing his throat. "O-Oh, yeah! Forgot, yeah! I mean, there was a lot...i-in my head at the moment..." The younger male responded suspiciously. To which Seidou metaphorically rolled his eyes within his head.  

"Yeah... Unless...you want to tell me what I can do to help?" "No!" Seidou raises an eyebrow, to which Kanae chuckles lightly and clears his throat. "I-I mean...are you really feeling well today? B-Because...we can excuse you for the day, you know." 

Seidou crosses his arms. "Rosewald, what's going on?" "What do you mean...?" Seidou scoffs, with his eyes focused on a totally different direction. "Come on Rosewald, I'm feeling better, more than I ever had in a while. So is it something to do with you, because it's Shuu's birthday?" "Master Shuu to you!" 

Seidou's eyes widen, stunned. Kanae sighs softly. "Es tut mir lied, Seidou... It's just...lately, master can't seem to stop talking about you. I know it has something to do with a dear friend he's lost, however a part of me still feels a little..." Seidou looks at the male, tilting his head and upper body towards him. "Jealous...?"

Kanae blushes immensely. "W-What?!" "Come on, Kanae...you're obviously jealous; trust me, I should know. Kanae, you do have feelings for the guy, don't you?"

Kanae blushes even more deeply, holding his chest tightly and taking a gulp. "I...I..." He sighs softly. "Seidou...please, let's not talk about this. Please, I can't go into it right now." Seidou nods softly, hands behind his back.
