Mind Reality of Eclipse

Rip, Tear, Shreds ~ Chapter 12

"Congrats you two! You guys deserve to be happily married to one another!" Rowan laughed. Chrom and Claude hesitantly shook their hand and grinned slightly. "Aw, that outfit is splendid on you Claude! Courtesy of me of course! It looks amazing!"

Chrom laughed nervously, "Haha, yeah it sure looks awesome on him..." Claude slammed his head on the table as Byleth sat there staring at Rowan.

Rowan asked, "What's the matter, cool stuff? Why are you so uncomfortable?" Claude didn't want to say anything but soon Rowan snapped a photo with him. "Hah! Imagine being chosen as the designer of one of the spouses, who would've thought!"

Claude groaned, "Shut up, shut up, shut UP!"

"What?"

"I don't like the outfit at all! You made it far too tight and the color scheme wasn't even one I asked for! How did you make it mainstream anyways?!" Claude replied in anger. Rowan stood there in disbelief.

Rowan stammered, "You told me you loved it though! What are you talking about?!"

"I don't, maybe you didn't hear me when I said it needed adjustments but your ego got so bad you didn't seem to care about how I felt at all," Claude explained in annoyance. "I wish I got it from Byleth."

"BYLETH OUT OF ALL PEOPLE?!"

"Yes him, his outfits are authentic and he does them with care, you appear to just do my outfit because you got to meet royalty," Claude replied. Chrom nodded in agreement as Rowan looked around in fear.

Rowan laughed, "Hahah! I'll talk to Byleth in private really quick!"

"I never agreed to this-"

"NOW!" Rowan dashed off as Byleth got up and took a deep breath. He was suddenly really nervous of what was going to happen.

Alear replied, "You'll be fine, it's only going to be for a little bit so don't worry too much about it."

"Alright..." Byleth took a deep breath and followed after Rowan. Rowan stood there waiting for Byleth as he slowly walked in. "What did you need me for-"

Rowan shouted, "YOU ARE RUINING MY PERFECT COMPANY! AHHH!! I CAME HERE FOR THE SPOTLIGHT!"

"Um... that's IT!? Your outfits are whatever! I don't care if Chrom's outfit doesn't get the spotlight because it is their special day! Leave it be, it's not YOUR special day now is it?!" Byleth replied in anger. He felt like he wanted to punch them really badly, but he stayed calm.

Rowan mocked, "At least I wasn't the one who embarrassed themselves in front of a crowd, we don't want that to happen again, no, no no! You were made fun of multiple times over by the crowd watching Chrom and Claude get married." Byleth felt his body suddenly tensing up. "Oh, how tragic you had to be the one who decided to fist fight Chrom's spouse. Now you probably won't be welcomed back ever again!

Chrom must feel horrible about you interfering with their lovely day! You decided to steal their spotlight just so you can fist fight Claude Von Riegan! How much of a disappointment can you be!? I mean I would love spotlight if I could but you did it far more worse than I did-"

"SHUT!!! UP!!!!" Then Byleth punched Rowan directly across the face. They fell backward and slammed against a wall. Looking up at Byleth in fear. Byleth took a deep breath and wiped the blood off his fist.

Rowan asked, "Why the hell did you do that!?"

"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU MAKING FUN OF ME JUST BECAUSE I HAD AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT OF BEING JEALOUS! YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS I AM BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT OF THE FUCKING WEDDING! GET A GRIP ROWAN!" Byleth shouted as his eyes lit up with rage.

Rowan cleaned the blood off their face and then took a deep breath. They left the area and Byleth followed after them. Right before Byleth had a chance to get to Chrom and Claude. Rowan got to them before he did.

"Your honors! I just got attacked by Byleth!"

"And I was punched by him as well, your point?"

"You must do something about him! I was going to have a civil conversation with him but he decided to attack me because I stole his fashion spotlight in Hero Town! He should not be here!" Rowan replied while shaking. Soon Byleth walked over and rolled his eyes.

Byleth groaned, "Forget it Rowan! You only wanted to get hired so you could meet royalty! You didn't listen to what Claude told you to do for his outfit and I doubt with that EGO of yours you will never EVER get hired AGAIN!"

"He's right about that, you have such a huge ego because you do not know when to shut up about the spotlight, you came to the town to steal the spotlight of our favorite fashion designer and you have the biggest ego I've seen," Alear replied while Chrom and Claude nodded with her.

Rowan replied, "I am perfect just the way I am! You guys have no idea how fantastic my outfits really are! I was just a busy person and I couldn't really help Claude! I'm so dearly sorry-"

"IT WAS MY WEDDING DAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

"And mine as well, I wanted this to be perfect and if Claude wasn't comfortable with his outfit, I say you're not a good fit for us," Chrom replied in anger. Rowan looked at them in disbelief and took a deep breath.

Rowan asked nervously, "Do I still get paid?"

"No. I don't care if you made the outfit or not, this egotistical mind of yours needs to be let go, and thus we're not paying you to make you understand you need to prioritize who you're working with rather than your 'desires,'" Chrom responded as he face-palmed in the process. Rowan took a deep breath and soon left the place in embarrassment.

Byleth muttered, "I knew that person was no good." The three laughed with Byleth and soon he laughed with them.
