Aki's blue eyes were flashing. He glared at his brother. "So THIS is why you were so prickled over my being in love with her," he accused angrily. "You wanted her all for herself!"
"You're not in love with her, Aki," Sendoh murmured patiently, rubbing his temples. "You love her, yes, but you're not in love with her."
Aki stomped his right foot. "What difference does it make??"
"A whole lot of difference," his older brother assured, a sudden idea coming into his spiky head. "You see, in this world, there are two kinds of love. One is love love, one is love affection. Yours is love affection, where you care about that certain person on a general basis."
Aki pouted, not understanding but not willing to admit it either. "No, mine is love love."
"Do you know what love love is?"
"Of course!" Aki's face changed then. "No."
"Love love is where you care about that person on a more intimate basis."
Aki scratched his head. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"A boundless relationship. Where you can do anything to the other person and vice versa." Sendoh leaned down to his ear then. "You know the sounds the maids downstairs produce when one of the stable boys magically creep into their bedroom?"
Aki's face turned ghost pale. "You mean, all those screams and unidentified sounds like a whale belching?"
"Do you know what's really happening in there?"
"Torture."
Sendoh nodded. "Very true. When you're in love love, it's all a torture. You know, Porka? She's a very good torturer. You don't want her to lock the two of you in one room and drag you off to bed all alone, do you??"
Aki gulped. "No."
"She will do very weird things to you – that's what people who are in love love do most of the time. Her hands won't stop touching you, and she'll be licking you from head to toe."
Aki looked as though he wanted to puke. Cautiously, he peered at his brother. "Aren't you afraid she'd do those stuff to you?" he asked anxiously.
"No." Because I'll be doing the same stuff to her. "Because I'm in love love with her." He smirked. "Are YOU in love love with her?"
Aki quickly shook his head. "No! No! I'm just in love affection with her."
"Now, Aki," Sendoh said then in a reasonable tone "Be truthful. If you wanted to marry Porka, you know I'll step back any time and let –"
"NO! NO! I don't want to marry anyone! NO!" Even the very thought of it seemed to traumatise him.
You won't be saying that in the next five years, brother. Sendoh grinned, very pleased with the outcome. "Well…" he said, feigning reluctance, "if you really don't mind me having Porka …"
"I don't mind! I don't mind!"
"Well… since you insist…"
"I insist! I insist!"
Sendoh gave a hearty slap on Aki's back. "It's a deal!"
When they went out of the room, Porka was waiting, arms crossed. She looked surprised. "Why, I was expecting it to go on for another half-an-hour at least." She gave her husband-to-be a pointed look. "Well?"
He smiled at her. "We worked it out," he looked at his brother. "Didn't we, Aki?"
Aki was staring at Porka as if she was a three-legged horse. "Y-Yes."
Porka smiled easily (not at all suspicious) and bent down to kiss the young boy's cheek. Aki paled. "Don't misunderstand, Aki," she said soothingly. "I love you just as much as I love your brother, but –"
"NOOOOOOO!" Aki screeched, running down the hallway.
Porka blinked at the sudden empty air in front of her. Aki was still running like a lunatic down the hallway, and then he turned, and still screaming, disappeared down another corridor. Porka gave Sendoh a questioning look. "What was that all about??"
Sendoh looked suitably surprised. "I don't know," he said innocently. "Aki's a bit weird."
Porka narrowed her eyes. "What did you say to him?"
"I believe your, uh, dressmaker is here. Why don't you –"
"What did you say to him?"
"Oh, look! There's the flower girl too! I think we should both –"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM??"
Sendoh gave up his diversion efforts and flashed a grin. "I'll tell you," he promised. "Right after our first night together."
Porka looked as though she was to flare up, but then stopped and flushed. "I'll go see the dressmaker."
"Wait, I haven't finished yet. Don't you want to know the details??"
"The flower girl's waiting for me."
He watched her disappear with astonishing speed and then laughed. "I'm waiting for you too!" he called out cheekily. And then in a softer tone: "I guess I always will."
Then another dirty story as sharp is his hair emerged and he went in search for Aki.
Akira Sendoh's wedding vow:
I promise to cherish my wife till the end of time.
I will make her happy by abiding to her delicate and well-meant requests.
When I come home, I will kiss her and say: 'I missed you'.
When I eat her food, I will compliment her and praise her for her culinary skills.
When I go away for weeks, I will write a letter everyday.
When I go away for months, I will take her with me.
When I am at a party, I will not flirt with any other woman than my wife.
When I take her to bed, I will -------- [Sendoh: What happened?? Porka, why did you erase it???]
Even when I am old and wrinkly and walking on a stick, I will still cherish her and love her as I do and always will. I am her voluntary slave, here, now and future, as I was meant to be ever since I bought her and as I will continue to be now that I'm married to her.
May everybody and Aki bless our union.
And may Aki bless it still even after he discovers the truth!
Pretty short, but it's supposed to be some sort of an epilogue, so I guess it's okay. ^_^ Hope it made sense!!
