Monsieur Neuvillette had been requested to carry out an inspection at the Fortress of Meropide after the recent event with the water levels. after the inspection was complete, Neuvillette decided to accept Wirothesley's offer for tea in his office but, little did both of them know that their tea party would take a heated turn...
~
Neuvillette adjusted the pendant on his ascot as he rode the many elevators down beneath the water's surface. He hadn't seen this place in a while, nor his dear friend, Wirothesley. not since the day the waters rose, Neuvillette paused and took a moment to think about that, the fact he hadn't paid a moments attention towards his friend until he absolutely had to. he began to pity the man, his mind overthinking things 'what if he secretly hates me?' Neuvillette thought to himself. and just like that, the flood gates were starting to open, the stress of it all, trying to balance work with his personal life. Neuvillette had always been someone to cry easily, however, it wasn't a very professional hobby so he kept to himself about his thoughts and emotions. and with the reminder of his responsibilities, he wiped the tears from his eyes and returned to his proud and proper stance he usually maintained.
As soon as he did so, the elevator came to a halt and he marched out the door and through the corridors inside the Fortress of Meropide. He soon came to a halt at the receptionist's desk and informed her of his purpose of visit, she then handed him some paperwork to sign and a pen. he took the items from her hands and elegantly signed the paperwork. a broad figure approached him whilst he was scribbling his name on the last page. the figure stopped about 2 meters away from him and cleared his throat to get the Iudex's attention.
"I didn't know we had such and esteemed guest in the midst with us today," Wirothesley announced "I didn't know it was possible for fountaine's court judge to be arrested." Neuvillette turned to face him as Wirothesley chuckled.
"It is possible for a judge to get arrested actually, under section 23 in-" Neuvillette began but was cut off by a joyous laugh.
"It was just a joke Monsieur Neuvillette, I doubt I'd ever see you down here in a cell." Wirothesley spoke as he closed the distance between the two and extended his hand towards the Iudex. Neuvillette took it and was met by a strong grip from Wirothesley.
"Welcome back, old friend." Wirothesley said in his natural friendly tone. Neuvillette returned the smile as the two chatted about business related topics whilst walking through the fortress. Wirothesley led the Iudex down into the catacombs of the structure as he began to check his notes and inspect the seal he put on the water. he made various 'hmms' and 'mhmms' as Wirothesley watched him in awe. the truth is, Wirothesley had always looked up to Neuvillette in a way. he often wondered how he managed all his work with such care and excellence. but Neuvillette was a man who mostly kept to himself, so he supposes he would never know.
Wirothesley had been lost contemplating the wonderful mind of his companion that he hadn't noticed Neuvillette had finished his inspection and had began talking to him about his schedule. Wirothesley expected the usual, 'my work here is done, I would love to stay and chat but I have other matters I have to attend to.'
"-so, as luck would have it; my schedule isn't as busy today, how about you? Wirothesley?" Neuvillette inquired.
Wirothesley snapped out of his daze and his brain froze for a moment. 'did Monsieur Neuvillette just say he wanted to hang out with me?'. Wirothesley face swirled into confusion for a moment before Neuvillette answered his own question with a heavy heart.
"I'll take that as a no, very well I'll be-" Neuvillette was promptly interrupted by a simple "Yes." from the other man.
"Yes?" Neuvillette inquired as he watched Wirothesley stumble over his words for a moment, almost a bit flustered.
"W-well yes, as in I am free, for a little while," Wirothesley blurted out "Would you c-care for some tea? Monsieur Neuvillette?"
The two paused for a moment before Neuvillette accepted his offer and the two walked back upstairs to Wirothesley's office. The toned man then shut the the door, and went to the cupboard where he kept his tea. Neuvillette carefully watched the man rummage around trying to find the perfect tea for his guest.
"Wirothesley, I'm perfectly fine with anything you have, there's no need to fuss over me." Neuvillette spoke for he did not want Wirothesley to use anything special for their casual gathering.
"Not to worry Monsieur, I've actually been saving this specific brew for you." Wirothesley casually stated as the older man blushed a little. It made him smile that Wirothesley had been thinking of him but at the same time feel guilty that he had nothing to give in return.
"Ahh here it is," the toned man announced "It's a Monsdstat brew, the recipe is said to be made by the archon himself." Wirothesley said as he made his way back to his desk with a tea set and the brew. Neuvillette watched with interest as Wirothesley carefully brewed the tea and poured it into two fanciful cups.
"Do you take sugar with your tea?" Wirothesley asked the older man.
"No thank you, Wirothesley." Responded Neuvillette.
The cups were placed down and the two began sipping. The taste was strange at first, both of them picked up on it, it was far too strong for tea surely, but neither said anything. The two exchanged commonplace small talk. Wirothesley was casual and friendly as he is with any guest he shares his tea with but Neuvillette seemed to avert his eyes, stutter on the occasion, it was not alike to the Iudex's usual composition.
"Neuvillette?" Wirothesley interrupted their conversation, Neuvillette looked up from his cup and faced the toned man. His body felt hot, his mind blurry and his hands were shaking. Wirothesley stared at him with pure concern in his eyes as the older man began to cry.
"Neuvillette?!" Wirothesley spoke with concern, before the toned man quickly sat up and bent over the desk. Neuvillette breathed heavily as his mind raced with all the things he could possibly say. this 'special' brew of tea had really brought out the sensitive side in him. Wirothesley leaned in closer, staring deep into the watery eyes of the Iudex. Neuvillette then picked up his tea cup again and took a large sip and not a moment later, the two men's lips had united.
The truth was, Neuvillette had always had feelings for Wirothesley, but felt they would never be reciprocated. But in truth, he was quite wrong, Wirothesley had always had feelings for the other as well. They were simply in a love quarrel, two men from very different worlds, in a society where men do not really get together like this. It seemed there was no hope in fixing their problem, until this special brew of tea had come into play.
A few moments later the two pulled away, their eyes interlocked as Neuvillette looked at Wirothesley with a desperate expression. The moment soon ended as the normally tame Iudex of fountaine jumped over Wirothesley's desk and began to remove his clothing. Wirothesley gently grabbed his hands as he halted them, the toned man then smirked as he kissed the Iudex once again. the toned man's knee was also roughly shoved into the other's crotch as the older man let out a small whine.
"Neuvillette?" Wirothesley cut off their passionate kiss momentarily as he began "Are you sure you're not going to regret this?"
"I am sure, I feel like I have waited for this moment for my entire life." Neuvillette responded. The two smiled at each other, one another finally feeling like everything that needs to be said has been said, without a single word. That peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by-
(okok I pranked u lol, I wrote up to 'interrupted' and then I guess I forgot what my whole 'idea' was, sooooooo let me ask you, what happens next dear reader? :3)
