Work Text:
Rook took his best clothes and arranged them in such a way, that he looked in the most special way, because for him every day that he was going to see Vil, were special; he knew that these days he had seen very little time with him, when before they spent together up and down, day and night, as together as the sweethearts they had been for a long time; He took great care in combing his hair and putting on some perfume, all to be well presented, he did not want any kind of flaw in his presentation, he wanted to be perfect for the one he considered perfect, the one who was also so meticulous with his physical appearance, he would not be less so with his partner, although he was not the only one he considered that way.
He grabbed the bouquet of flowers he had bought him an hour ago, freshly cut, fresh and fragrant, with love and with such a beautiful smile and having already finished preparing in the other aspects, he headed towards Vil's apartment, it took a long time to get there but he never saw him bothered, for his boyfriend he would walk as long as it was necessary. Vil for his part also left his house some time later, it was not to wait for his boyfriend in the lobby and greet him with a kiss and then go home together, it was to go to the apartment of another person, who lived in the same building.
The blond arrived at the building almost at the same time that Vil was leaving his house, he went ahead of him, he went to the elevator after going up a few floors, it was more comfortable than going up and up to reach his destination, he did not wait a second to see the divine face of the major, he pressed the button that would take him to the 11th floor and while, he blushed slightly at the thought of all the time he would spend with him that day, but his imagination was forcefully cut off after seeing what was behind the thick doors that were opening, such an unimaginable welcome in front of him received him unexpectedly, he didn't know what to think or how to react, what to do?
The two people inside the elevator turned to see who had asked it, and they looked surprised and separated a little from their hug, and from their kiss of course, although one of those people was more scared than surprised.
-Rook...?
-Rook-kun?
They blurted out at the same time, seeing his stunned face as he was holding the large bouquet with gorgeous flowers. To have seen in front of their own eyes, a betrayal like this.... No one would like it, Rook would have burst out angrily if it wasn't Neige standing in front of him. Somehow, he never felt anger, not one bit, he was just so happy inside. It was so strange for others to discover something like that from Rook, at least for some.... Anyway, he couldn't hide what he felt anymore, but he was still in shock.
-Ah...Beautiful Vil, why...?
Vil swallowed saliva and felt his heart pounding from the shock, he looked him in the eyes with a hint of embarrassment, almost nonexistent, he took some time to speak, really feeling sorry but why Neige would have to witness that thing.
-I can explain.
-E-eh? -The black-haired man turned his gaze to his boyfriend, he really didn't understand what was going on. Vil felt a prick in his chest, now he would have to explain in such an abrupt way to his beloved Neige that he actually had a relationship with Rook, it wasn't however in the way it seemed:
Although formally Rook was his partner, he no longer felt that way, living with Neige in the same building, made them inevitably see each other more than at first, Vil would have wished, spending more time with him made him gradually begin to open his heart to him no matter what, Of course, Neige didn't know that Vil already had a couple, because he never told him, that's why he didn't have the same reaction as Vil, and he planned to cut off his relationship with Rook as soon as he could, although it was too late because he ended up finding out in another way. He loved Neige as his only partner and what he regretted most was to have done things that way, equally he wasn't going to keep quiet and took responsibility for his mistake.
-I'd love to know the answer. -Rook commented.
Vil decided to start with that instead of taking away all Neige's doubts, that would be taken care of later, just because he thought Rook needed a good explanation.
-I don't want to continue this, Rook. -He said directly, he tried not to sound so harsh, but to the outside it sounded so.... Hard.
-W-Were you...?
-Yes, we were.
Maybe Rook could feel sadness, and yes he was, on the one hand he was a little sad that Vil cheated on him, but that was only the first impression, from there, Rook just kept asking just as surprised.
-Is that why you didn't answer my calls and left our outings for later or cancelled them?
-Yes.
Neige tensed greatly, he was just finding out from his boyfriend's mouth that he was the "other one" he couldn't believe it, he was so embarrassed.
-I-It can't be...! Rook-kun, I really didn't know anything, if I had known that Vii-kun was your boyfriend, I wouldn't have been yielded. -His beautiful face was sad, worried.... A truly human expression.
-It's nothing to worry about, Roi du Neige, I believe you.
Vil took Neige by the hand and led him out of the elevator to stand in front of Rook, before the doors closed and took them to another floor.
-I'm so sorry I acted this way, I know neither of them deserved what happened, I should have broken up with Rook a long time ago before I could go to a relationship where I felt more comfortable and fully happy.
-B-but... -Neige couldn't articulate any words, it was so strange for him everything he heard, he couldn't believe that Vil was in a relationship with both of them at the same time, so no more words came out of his mouth.
-You don't have to say anything, Neige, but for my part, I want you to know that I only love you, it was my mistake not to have acted regarding this in a proper way. -Vil apologized again.
Rook continued to watch them, he discovered deep in his heart the happiness that Vil and Neige being boyfriends brought him and, that it was also the most sublime and beautiful form of courtship and beauty, he ever witnessed in his entire life, he even accepted himself overcome in his relationship with Vil; in a seemingly awkward moment and heavy atmosphere he could no longer hide anything of what he felt. Rook laughed lightly and smiled contentedly, not a look full of joy, rather one where he raised his eyebrows and looked at them both with a hint of mischief. Then he spoke in his voice, lovely, the one he used to express when he loved something, it was soft and changed his tone, but it was still his there, it commanded attention.- I see, so Roi du Posion and Roi du Neige have something, I couldn't meet with a pleasant surprise that would make me happier.
Vil frowned in surprise, and looked at him in dismay bringing one hand almost covering his mouth completely, his palm was shown to the other men.- What?
Neige was still completely the same, but now much more surprised, it was as if he was getting harder and harder information to swallow, his little heart ached, he was just left to stand there and keep listening.
-U-uh...? Maybe Rook-kun...? A-aren't you annoyed?! -He expressed softly, Rook smiled at the youngest of the three and squeezed the bouquet of flowers, now moving his head slightly from one side to the other, feeling his hair move from one side to the other.
-Non non, I could never have imagined this, but you two, you really made me realize that there was something better, I'm so happy.... You two... You are amazing. You fill my mind with splendid and wonderful, brilliant, I.... I'm really excited! -Rook finished with a smile, this time, full of sincere joy, something so little understandable, it really made this man happy.- Roi du Poison and Roi du Neige, you look beautiful together.
Vil was inexplicably dismayed, it was truly a reaction no one would expect upon learning of an infidelity.
-I really can't believe it, you have never ceased to amaze me, I don't think I've been surprised like this since the VDC. -Vil looked at him sternly and then looked at Neige again and his expression changed to a calmer one, not because internally he was, but because he wanted to give him serenity in front of everything he was witnessing.
-I...
It was really complicated to say anything at all, but Neige was considering that Vil had made a mistake and while Vil had apologized, he had hurt Rook, even though Rook was suddenly in love with seeing them having a relationship a while ago.
-Vii-kun... It wasn't right what you did, you hurt Rook! -He expressed with the same attitude as before, this time already showing an annoyed face, but it was more the sadness.
The man in front of him looked really bad, really upset that his boyfriend told him that, but it was only the truth and he had every right to be angry with him.
-Oh, mon dieu! Not at all, dear little flower, I don't feel sad at all, on the contrary, as I said before, I am really pleased! -Rook opened his arms in pleasure and showed a genuinely happy smile, which to tell the truth.... Neither of them understood and possibly never would.
-... Neige turned his surprised face, he looked so cute, his eyes widened with naivety and kept looking back at Rook, to turn back to Vil.
His boyfriend grabbed him by both cheeks and pulled him close, looking into his eyes. Telling him that he wanted an undeserved pleasant reaction on his face, a sweet, happy smile like the one he always had, a hug, a laugh, knowing full well it wasn't something that was worthy of him.
-Can I kiss you?
Neige didn't know what to say, again, everything was so recent that he didn't know how to act in the right way, he never thought of resisting, he couldn't resist the person he loved, he couldn't leave Vil, his boyfriend he loved so much despite such a mistake, he closed his eyes slightly and softened his gaze turning it like a plea, sweet as honey, he simply left his will to his love and nodded embarrassed, embarrassed because Rook was watching them attentively for sure, he quickly accepted that Rook was happy about it and had no fault of his own.
Vil smiled relieved and kissed him softly, happy to kiss Neige again, Neige naturally couldn't feel less, he always enjoyed kissing Vil no matter what, but yes he would talk to him later to find out more about the whole situation, to which Vil would respond as humbly as possible.
Rook felt his face warm up seeing that beautiful scene in front of him again, now he was not blushing for thinking about the things he would do with Vil, his already ex-boyfriend, now he was blushing for seeing it and thinking about it all his life in his perpetual relationship with his beloved Neige, happy he leaned against the wall letting the bouquet almost fall from his hands, without looking away from the couple showing each other the most tender of affection.
The kiss would not last long, but Rook enjoyed it as the most wonderful and affable sight, which really was very natural, giving each other, no kind of thing to be seen, nothing extravagant, but to Rook, it seemed so endearing, that he just left there happy, thankful that life put him in that situation, he left the building with the bouquet in his hands and smiling.
Vil went to the apartment with Neige, already there and hugging warmly and lovingly, they spent a beautiful and adorable night together, good they already knew how to do it, although Vil had to explain to his boyfriend everything he had not told him before.
