There is one universal thing that everyone knows. Everyone feels. Everyone has. That one thing that everyone agrees is good, but also bad. Wonderful, but also bitter. Happy, but also sad. That one universal thing that everyone experiences their ups and downs with. No one can truly live a life without it. And once you find it, it's beautiful. Perfect, even. Love. It's absolutely beautiful.
So why was it so hard for the God of love.
Cupid sat alone on the soft pink sofa, in his large, yet empty mansion. He yearned for someone to share this with. Not just any someone, someone perfect. Someone who enjoyed him. Someone who he could actually spend time with. Someone he loved.
He could just shoot someone with an arrow and call it a day, but that wouldn't be beautiful. That wouldn't be natural. It would be wrong. He wanted someone who actually wanted him. Not someone he forced to want him.
There were particular people Cupid always had an eye for. Cosmo Cosma. That stupidly adorable dork. He didn't know how that man could be so dumb and cute and annoying, but so charming.
Juandissimo Magnifico. The sexy Mexican. He was exactly what every fairy wanted. A hot buff guy. He had talked to Juandissimo before. Many times, actually. The guy had an ego. A HUGE one. But even Cupid can fall for some stupid charms.
What would it be like to have one of them? He couldn't just blindly choose one to ask, this was love. He had to choose the perfect man.
~~~
"CUPIDDDD!" Cosmo would scream in the morning.
"Morning, Cos..." Cupid would tiredly respond, waking at his ear piercingly high voice.
"Today's gonna be a BEAUTIFUL day!!!"
"Mhm..." Cupid would rub his eyes, trying to wake up and match Cosmo's level of energy.
They both would get breakfast together, both would have conversations together, until Cosmo would have to go. Godchildren. The one thing that would take all of Cosmo's time away from Cupid. Cosmo would be trained to be a Godparent. With more humans on earth, there would be more need for Godparents. So Cosmo wouldn't have any time for Cupid. Could Cupid go with Cosmo? Maybe. Would Cosmo's Godkid make love wishes? Hopefully.
Cupid would be alone again in the large empty mansion. And he'd have no reason to leave until called to a love wish. All he would do is sit and wait for Cosmo's Godkid to go to sleep, so Cosmo could come back to him.
Cupid would wait alone. He needed to question, would Cosmo still be partnered with Wanda? He knew the two were Godparents together because they were married, but would they be partnered together is Cosmo was with Cupid? Would he have to live in jealousy of Wanda? Or would Wanda have her own Godchild?
When Cosmo would finally get home, it would be late. Miserable kids don't tend to sleep early. Cosmo and Cupid would both want to sleep. But that would mean a day with no quality time together. So the two would eat a meal together. They would try to have a nice romantic dinner, something the God of love would do wonderfully.
It wouldn't be nice emotion wise at all, though. Cupid would be upset after being alone all day. Cosmo would be tired after parenting a miserable kid. So it would be a boring dinner.
They would both go to bed, both would be tired. They would both say their renditions of "Love you, goodnight" and would fall into their dreams.
Just to wake up and repeat the day.
~~~
That's not the way Cupid wanted to live. He wanted someone to spend time with! Maybe he should just be a Godparent. Then he could be with one of his loves.
Oh well. That's not what he was trying to think about.
~~~
Neither Juandissimo nor Cupid would wake each other up. Both would enjoy their sleep too much. When Juandissimo would wake up, he'd let Cupid sleep, leaving nothing more than a kiss on the forehead.
When Cupid would wake up, he'd find Juandissimo was already out of bed. He's go to find the other fairy, to find that he was already gone to be a Godparent. There'd be a note, though.
"I have gone to be a Godparent, Mi Amor -Juan♡"
Cupid would smile at the cute note. The way Juandissimo would write in the same way he spoke. The way Cupid would read it in Juan's thick accent. And the heart.
He would sit in front of the TV to watch a show, waiting for a love wish to come in from a kid. Hoping it would be Juandissimo's Godkid.
Cupid would get another cute message from Juan (Via magic. This is 2002, who's actually using cell phones??)
"How are you doing, Amorcito? -Juan♡"
Cupid would smile again at the note. "I'm good. How the kid?"
"Boring. I'd much rather be with you. -Juan♡"
"Aww, you're so sweet ♡"
"And sexy -Juan♡"
"yes, and sexy"
When Juandissimo would get home, Cupid wouldn't feel as lonely as he would with Cosmo. They'd both feel alive enough to be together.
They would both sit on the sofa together with food. Watching their favourite show, Fairy Love Island (fuck fruit love island). Cupid would be curled up as close to Juandissimo as physics would allow him, and Juandissimo would let him. They would fall asleep like that. Cuddling on the sofa. In the mansion that wouldn't feel as empty anymore.
~~~
Cupid couldn't understand how this was a question. Cosmo was married, Cosmo was straight, Cosmo and him just wouldn't work. Sure, Cupid had feelings for Cosmo, but Juandissimo was just... more perfect. He had put Cosmo and Wanda together for a reason.
And it was almost perfect timing for Remy Buxaplenty to make another wish for his parents love.
Cupid was summoned to the Buxaplenty mansion, where he was met with Remy and Juandissimo.
"... Hey, Juandissimo..." He tried to be cool.
If only the God of love had the guts to actually admit he that he loved someone.
