Summary: Sun and Judgment are getting married. The "why" and "how" really aren't that important right now. For this is not a story about their romance; this is the story of us observers. Yes, we, the underappreciated observers of this whole spectacle who did 99% of the work, and only received a slice of wedding cake in return. Grisia/Lesus, Ceo/Roland
Notes: Co-written with [livejournal.com profile] kiyutsuna! Odd chapters are hers. Even chapters are mine. Enjoy. :D

Slice 6: Farewell, Our SM Days

Slice 7: Explosive Fun! ...Not



Blaze

I hummed to myself as I walked down the corridor that led to the Twelve Holy Knights' rooms. Sun's party preparations were going great. The best thing was, all the boring tasks were taken right out of my hands! Sun had taken care of the location by providing his cellar, which conveniently took care of the booze as well. Meanwhile Leaf had offered to prepare all the food, and that was something none of us would ever object to. Leaf's cooking was to die for, especially now that he had a full stock of seasonings again.

With all that out of the way, all I had to do was decorate the cellar and plan an awesome main event! I already had the perfect idea too!

I looked fondly down at the bundle I was carrying. This was pure genius, I tell you. Our party will definitely blow away anything Metal could put together. Literally. After all, the key to a good party is to create a festive mood packed with exploding fun, right?

"...Blaze."

I paused. Did someone call my name? I looked around and saw nothing. Shrugging it off to my imagination, I kept on walking.

"Knight-Captain Blaze."

I paused again. I was sure that my name was called this time. I glanced around wildly and shouted, "Who's there!"

Still nothing. I frowned. As far as I could tell, the only person in the corridor was myself. Then, I suddenly realized something.

"...Cloud?" I called out. "Where are you?"

"Here."

A weak voice replied, and I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. Aha! I knew it! I turned around. Lo and behold, there stood Cloud. I grinned.

"There you are! I found you this time!" Without setting you on fire too! I added to myself.

Cloud smiled back timidly. Then, he pointed a pale finger at the bundle in my arms.

"What is that for?" he asked curiously.

"I'm glad you asked!" I beamed and proudly held up the items from the bundle. "These are for Sun's party! These will make the most kick ass main event ever!!"

Cloud stared at me with his mouth hanging open. I smiled wider. See, my idea was so awesome it made Cloud speechless!

"...Blaze." Finally, Cloud found his voice. To my surprise, instead of being in awe, he sounded more like he was horrified. Why is that?

"Sun will never let you set those off in his cellar."

Huh?

"Why wouldn’t he?" I was hurt. "Don't you think fireworks are great for a party?"

Cloud gave a small sigh.

"You're bringing explosives into an enclosed space full of alcohol." He spoke slowly. "You could potentially set the whole place and everyone in it on fire."

"WHAT?!"

I... I didn't think this through...!




Dejectedly, I stowed the fireworks into my room. Dejectedly, I went down to Sun’s cellar. Dejectedly, I plopped myself down next to the pile of paper streamers I had prepared for decoration. Now that my grand plan was botched, even the brightly colored streamers looked dull and uninteresting.

Cloud sat down beside me and patted my hand softly.

“It’ll be alright.” He comforted. “Even without fireworks, there are still the decorations to make the party festive. I can help you hang them up, and then we can figure something else out for the main event.”



I looked at him gratefully. Cloud is such a nice guy! Not only did he save me from certain doom by Sun’s wrath, he’s even offering to help me as well!

“Cloud, you’re a life saver!” I exclaimed, tossing my earlier dejection out the window. Now’s not the time to mope! The party is tonight and there are still lots to prepare! Sun had promised to stay out of his room for the day so I could set up the party. I couldn't just sit here and waste precious time!

“Alright!” I jumped up and clutched my fist. “Let’s get started!”

Cloud smiled and nodded obediently. Together, we set off to work.

Sun’s cellar was really too boring. There was nothing but barrels and bottles stacked along the walls and shelves. I began by hanging streamers along the walls, alternating between bright colors.

Hmm… Red, orange, yellow…. Was it green or blue that came after yellow in the rainbow? I stared at the two colors in confusion for a moment. Then, I decided to not worry over the details too much. As long as the colors didn't repeat, it should be fine. On that happy thought, I kept going.

While I was working on the walls, Cloud was busy decorating the big wine barrels. Since this was a party for Sun, booze will definitely be the star of the night. So of course they needed to look bright and cheery as well! Cloud was a really good helper. A bit too quiet, but he sure was efficient. In no time, we had the once drabby cellar transformed into a colorful party room.

To avoid any fire hazards. Cloud even suggested that we use holy light instead of candles to light up the place. He was really good at making little orbs of holy light too. Must be from all the practice he had while holed up in cupboards. It took some time for me to get the hang of making the light orbs. But once we were done, the place looked freaking amazing. The little balls of light floated around the ceiling like fireflies, casting a warm glow on everything. This totally beats fireworks!

As we surveyed our handiwork, I gave Cloud a big pat on the back. Without his help, I couldn’t have pulled of anything nearly as good.

After that, I followed Cloud to the library. We flipped through the party planning books Cloud had found, looking for something we could use.

“Ah! This could work…”




Soon enough, the evening rolled around and all six of us piled into the newly decorated cellar. As the others beheld the transformed room in awe, I grinned proudly. Especially when Sun’s face lit up with a smile as he entered the cellar too! Considering that he was technically colorblind, it felt twice as great to have Sun’s approval.

It wasn’t long before we all sat around in eager anticipation as Leaf set the table with tasty looking food. There was seasoned bread, roasted meat sprinkled with lots of seasoning, a hearty looking stew that was also topped with seasoning… The list went on.

“Ah, the God of Light’s generosity had blessed brother Leaf with such an abundance of seasoning. Sun is gratefu-”

“Will you cut it out with the God of Light speech?!” Earth cut Sun off before he could confuse us any further. “This is a party! A party! Speak plainly!!”

As Sun and Earth began to squabble, I wasted no time on digging into the food in front of me.

“This is so delicious!” I shouted after biting into a chunk of meat. Leaf really was a master with seasoning.

Around the table, similar reactions came from everyone else as well. Leaf was absolutely beaming with happiness.

“Eat as much as you’d like!” He said as he replaced the now-empty plate of roasted meat with another one. “I made plenty!”

Everyone cheered at that.

“It’s been so long since I’ve eaten such a good meal.” Earth lamented. “Leaf, how did you manage to win the betting pool anyways?!”

Leaf laughed, somewhat stiffly. “I was just really desperate. I had to bet on a something with a high return!”

“What?” Sun cried out, sounding betrayed. “And I thought you were the only one here with faith in me, Strawberry!”

“O-of course I had faith in you as well, Sun.” Leaf sounded pretty nervous now. “Have more food! I made your favorite fish porridge.”

When it didn’t seem like food was enough to distract Sun from the topic completely, Leaf glanced around for something else. His gaze settled on Storm, who was, for once, not nodding off.

“Wow Storm, your complexion looks much better today. Did you get a good night’s sleep?”

Leaf’s comment brought everyone’s attention to Storm’s face. True enough, even the permanent bags under his eyes were barely noticeable today!

“I actually got over five hours of sleep last night.” Storm looked up from the soup he was sipping and sighed blissfully. How overworked must you get to be this happy about only five hours of sleep?! I was really glad that I wasn't the Storm Knight. I can’t even imagine being stuck doing paperwork day in and day out.

“Roland finished the day’s pile of paperwork for me so I could finally have a good night’s rest.” Storm continued, somewhat dreamily. “What would I ever do without him...”

Ewww! I made a face at the lovestruck expression Storm had on. This was so sappy it gave me goosebumps! Though I was apparently the only one who felt that way. Earth was snickering while Leaf fawned over Storm’s words. Cloud was invisible as usual, but judging from the randomly disappearing food, I’d say he was busy eating. Sun had a knowing smile on his face as he ate his porridge. I suppose he was immune to the sap since he was just as in love as Storm was. And people who are in love were generally kind of crazy. Don’t get me wrong now, even with all the crazy, Sun is still and will always be the brother I respect the most. Nothing will ever change that!

Anyhow, back on topic. It was no secret that Storm and Hell had something going on. In fact, I had even witnessed it myself! I shuddered a bit as I recalled that particular event.

It was a regular old day, and I was itching to kick down some doors. As I made my way down the hall, I settled for Storm’s door. Though my interest level in his door had gone down over the years, his was still one of the safest doors to kick down. So BAM! Down it went. I had expected an ordinary scene with Storm slaving over his paperwork as usual. But what greeted me was anything but that.

For one, Storm was fast asleep. Which would have been normal enough if not for the fact that he was sleeping in Hell’s arms. There wasn’t enough time for me to process all the details, but they totally had their arms wrapped around each other all mushy and stuff. When the door hit the wall with a loud bang, Hell jolted and Storm snapped awake. As I stood there trying to process the scene, Hell scrambled to coax Storm back to sleep. It only took a few moments before Storm dozed off again, and then Hell turned his gaze to me and glared.

I wasn’t quite sure how I managed to quietly fix Storm’s door back in place and escape with my life intact. But that experience had put Storm’s door on the “never again” list. I could only comfort myself with the thought that at least it hadn’t been as bad as when I kicked down Judgment’s door a few weeks earlier. Uggggh. The image of Judgment and Sun locking lips was not something I needed to see. And I could really have done without Sun’s revenge in the days that followed. That really sucked.




When all the food had been devoured and dishes put away. It was time to drink! Sun eagerly poured us all glasses of wine, while settling for the entire bottle himself. Taking that as my cue, I lept up and declared:

“Alright! Since this is Sun’s bachelor party, we need to make some toasts!”

Murmurs of agreement went around the table. I beamed and raised my glass.

“I’ll start!” I turned to Sun. “To our irreplaceable brother, Sun! Don’t let Judgment mistreat you in any way, or he’ll have us to answer to!”

Sun laughed and took a swig from his bottle. “Thank you Blaze. I’ll… remember that.”

As I chugged down my glass of wine, Storm lifted his glass with a lazy grin.

“To Sun, I wish you an everlasting marriage.” Then he murmured to himself. “I don’t ever want to see how much paperwork a divorce would cause.”

Sun’s mouth twitched, but considering how much Storm did for his wedding, I guess Sun couldn’t really retort in any way. So he just drank some more.

Next up was Leaf. His eyes were shining with tears as he spoke. “I’m so happy for you Sun. I wish you and Judgment the very best with your marriage.”

Sun drank gratefully to that. “Don’t start crying on us now, Leaf-mommy!”

“Congrats on actually getting married, Sun.” Earth raised his glass with a smirk. “May you bear plenty of children!”

“Earth, you bastard!” Sun had nearly choked on his drink. “I’m a guy, damn you!!”

He made the point of not drinking to that particular toast and turned his attention to Cloud, who had stood up with his glass raised.

“To our leader, Sun.” He said, quiet as always. “I hope you will find your happily ever after with Judgment.”

Sun smiled and then reached over to pat Cloud on the head. “Thanks, Didi.”

After that, Sun turned to all of us and raised a newly opened bottle (he had finished the last one already). “To my dear brothers, Sun will surely keep your words to heart!”

Cheering, we all drank some more.

“So.” Earth put his glass down impatiently and glanced at me. “Did you plan anything fun, Blaze? Please tell me you prepared strippers at least.”

“Strippers? Are they edible?” I asked. What’s a stripper?

“You idiot! Strippers ar-”

“Strippers are not edible!” Leaf interrupted in a hurry. He then smiled all mother-like. “We don’t want them anyways, right Blaze? I’m sure whatever you’ve prepared is much better!”

Right! Cloud and I had found something that’s much more fun!

“Drinking games!” I shouted. Since Sun liked drinking so much, what better way to celebrate than to make it a game we could all play?

Sun did look very interested. Earth seemed kind of disappointed, but Leaf and Storm looked quite curious, so Earth was outnumbered. From beside me, Cloud appeared to explain the game. “It’s called ‘I've Never...’. The players take turns saying one thing that they’ve never done. And whoever has done it will have to drink. Whoever passes out first loses.”

“Sounds likes fun.” Sun smiled. “I’ll start then. I’ve never gotten flat out drunk in public.”

I gulped. I’ve done that a few times… Oh well! It’s only the first round. Good thing I wasn’t the only one. Across the table, Storm had taken a drink as well. I wasn’t surprised. Storm always had to drink a lot in public events after all.

“I’ve never made others do my paperwork.” Storm smirked.

All of us shared uneasy glances, Sun looked especially guilty as he chugged back his drink. I think Storm had got to be the only one who always did his own paperwork- along with the rest of the temple’s.

Crap, I’m getting kind of woozy. If this keeps up, I might lose! Thinking fast, I blurted, “I’ve never kissed a girl!”

“That, I will gladly drink to.” Earth declared proudly. Leaf happily drank to that as well.

“Ooo, but I’ve never kissed a guy!” Leaf mentioned while looking quite red in the face.

Sun of course drank to that. And that was it.

“Whaaaat?” Leaf looked shocked. “Storm, you and Hell haven’t kissed yet?”

His disbelief was mirrored by everyone around the table. Storm shrank back, while blushing like crazy and protesting.

“O-of course not! It’s not a big deal!”

“How can it not be? It’s been more than enough time for you to make a move!” Sun declared. “Lesus kissed me right after he confessed!”

“Don’t compare me to your relationship!”

“But Hell’s been staying overnight at your room for weeks now!” Earth accused.

“We were doing paperwork. Thanks to a certain somebody’s wedding.”

The certain somebody looked to be deep in thought. Slowly, Sun raised his head and asked very seriously, “Come to think of it… Does Roland even know how to kiss?”

Silence.

Earth patted Storm on the shoulder. “My sincere condolences, dear brother.”

Cloud then poofed back into existence out of the blue and handed Storm a book titled “Beginner’s Guide to Kissing and Other Related Activities.” As Storm stared at him in horror and confusion, Cloud giggled and poofed back out of existence. Was he drunk?

By now, Storm was tomato red and looked like he very much wanted to kill someone. With a grudge-filled look at Leaf, he gritted out, “I’ve never married a princess.”

Leaf must be drunk as well. For he only laughed happily and held out his left hand. “I have~!”

Looking at Leaf’s ring, I was reminded of something.

“By the way, what kind of wedding ring did you pick, Sun?” I asked eagerly. “Can we see?”

“... Actually…” Sun shifted uncomfortably, then admitted with a sigh. “I haven’t found one yet.”

A chorus of “ehhh?!”s went up. The wedding was just around the corner! How could Sun not have picked out the rings yet? He was usually so prepared for these kinds of things!

“I just couldn’t find the right one!” Sun took a gulp of wine and went on to explain, “I want to get something special, and nothing in the shops seems right… I’m hoping to make something myself with magic, but I’ll need help from Aldrizzt when he gets here with Teacher.”

Sun looked really frustrated, but there wasn’t anything any of us could do. The only magic I knew was fire-based. I frowned, then looked down at the glass of wine in my hands. That’s right, wine! Sun needs to drink more! We should go back to the game!

“I’ve never cast an Ultimate Heal!”

Everyone stared at me dumbly. Then Sun laughed and drank, so back to the game we merrily went. Except now, it seemed that we’d all come to the silent agreement of ganging up on Sun.

“I’ve never learned necromancy,” Cloud muttered.

Sun drank without a complaint.

“I’ve never been put in confinement,” Storm said.

Sun winced and drank.

“I’ve never been called despicable by a princess.” Leaf smiled.

Sun sighed but drank anyways.

“I’ve never been topped by a guy.” Earth grinned.

Sun’s face was red as he drank.

“I’ve never-

BANG!!

We all jumped and turned to the source of the crash. The cellar door was kicked right off its hinges. From above the door came a smooth voice.

“Looks like I’ve made it back in time for my beloved student’s bachelor party. Thank the God of Light for His benevolent guidance.”

Then the owner of the voice jumped down to where we were. The only thing we could do was stare in fear as he straightened up and smiled at us.

I-it’s the former Knight-Captain Sun!!!

“Teacher! I’m so happy to see you!” Sun rushed to where his teacher stood while we all blinked in confusion. Wasn’t Sun usually the one who dreaded his teacher the most?

Former Knight-Captain Sun looked just as confused, but that passed quickly as Sun kept on talking.

“Where is Aldrizzt? Is he with you? I desperately need him!!”

“Child!” Sun’s teacher gasped. “I did not raise you to be this way!”

“Huh?” Now it was Sun’s turn to look confused.

“You’re already marrying Lesus! How dare you want Aldrizzt now as well!”

Our eyes widened. What is going on here? Then Storm spoke up, “Come to think of it… There had been rumors a long time ago about Sun having a foursome! The dark elf Aldrizzt was apparently involved too!”

Earth joined in, “It’s true! It was during our fight with that lich Scarlet a few years back!”

“That can’t be true!” I was angry. How could they believe such stupid rumors about Sun? “Sun would never do such a thing! I trust him!!”

“I agree with… Blaze. Sun woul-wouldn’t cheat on Judgment like that.” Leaf nodded drunkenly, holding his wine glass tightly.

In the end, it was Cloud who put an end to our argument. He was blearily flickering between visibility and invisibility as he mumbled, “I… was with Sun that day. Earth was too. Nothing happened hic, people just misunderstood.”

See? I was right! Of course Sun is innocent here!

Meanwhile, Sun had also explained to former Sun Knight Neo that he needed Aldrizzt for help with magic. And the two had settled down at the table with Sun pouring his teacher some wine.

“Hahahaha!” Sun’s teacher laughed as he clasped his student on the shoulder. “I misunderstood your words, child. Aldrizzt is with Chasel at his house. You can go find him tomorrow. For now, let us drink!”

As Sun agreed with a pained smile, no doubt lamenting his fate of drinking until dawn tonight, the former Knight-Captain Sun turned to us.

“What about you guys? You can either drink with us, or spar with me!”

We froze in terror. Then, after sharing looks with each other, we followed our survival instincts.

We ran for it.

Kiyutsuna: Annnnd that is how the warm faction ended up at Metal's party. Neo's back, run for your lives!

Lucathia: Kiyu has reduced my vocabulary to a single word -- CUTE. (What is this cuteness ahhhhh. Blaze, Cloud, you are both so cute. Come on, "cruel, cold-hearted" faction. This is how you have fun at a normal...ish... party!)

(OC filler side characters are fine because sometimes you just need them (like the rebel leader woman from Luca's LSK / ½ Prince crossover fic) but yeah, OC centric... yeah uh no |D usually the only OC centric stories that don't make me cringe eventually are set in a different time to the original canon so they're more like original stories borrowing the setting... and those usually lose my interest eventually. Though I have to admit, I actually have OCs like that myself for LSK, even if they're not very developed |D;;; I think I claimed 21st gen? Anyway, I'm the type of person who'll think up OC concepts to fit in when she took a liking to a world--)

I have too many feelings for Lesus' smile... I think it's what actually makes me scream 'YOU DUMB KNIGHTS' the most, together with the He-Loves-Him-So-Much Hand Movement™ |D;;;;

(Plot-centric fillers are fine xD what is not fine are fics labeled LesusxOC or GrisiaxOC........ My view on that is, if you really love a character and want to have fantasies with them, go ahead and have fun~ but just keep it in your head and don't post it to the internet..... @.@ because regardless of how none-Mary-sue you try to make an OC, the moment you pair them up with a canon character I'm automatically assuming that it's a MS version of yourself @.@ ......... I really have a pet peeve against OCxcharacter OTL
Ahhh yeah the LSK-verse is fun xD 21st gen eh? I wanna know your knights!!!! <333)

Hand movement trademarked? XD what is this lol xD

I got about 3 pages of sketches in....
http://s922.photobucket.com/user/Natsuyukii/library/Mobile%20Uploads?sort=3&page=1

(The setting is vaguely post-parties, assuming Roland and Ceo went back to one of their rooms... Both are drunk and I think Roland is half out on the bed or something before the first panel starts @.@)
((Paneling is tricky ahhhh *needs practice* any tips on what the next scene should be? XD I had so much trouble figuring out what to make drunk!ceo do in that third page lol)

(yes yes, canonxOC shipping fic... I shipped my OCs with canon characters too when I was like 12, but I never wrote that mush down |D No way I'd show that to anyone, ahaha~~)

(I think it was 21st |D something quite prior to Grisia's generation, but closer to them than to the first (but not by far actually)... Anyway! *takes a deep breath* Most don't even have a name yet, or actually I didn't pay attention to most yet... I'm the type that easily starts focusing on a really small set of OCs and neglects all the rest :'D in this case, my focus are of course, Sun and Judgement, but also Hell.
...and this comment is too long to post in one so I'll outsource this)

...I just have this one certain movement I rapidly repeat in my "MARRY ALREADY" moments |DD I'd totally make a gif to illustrate but idek how to gif-

Huffhuffhuff, looking good <333 Paneling is hard! I'm no good at that either :'D I should get some practice too... but I can barely draw too people in one picture without a rapid quality drop, let alone full pages...... //always goes chibi after a panel or two
Humhom. hmmmm. How about... idk aaaaaah I'm no better at this sdkfbsdl :'D;;;; maybe uhm. asking for permission to kiss him? Like "Roland... can I kiss you...?" I can imagine since Roland hasn't kissed him before, Ceo might be wondering if he even want to at all... hfffft what do I know |D

Ahhhh that's what I was thinking of too! Asking permission yes yes yes. On the third page the last few panels are supposed to have dialogue but I wasn't sure what to put so it's left blank for now...
Sooooo... The dialogue on that third page could go....

[on the side profile nose-to-nose panel]
"Roland... Can I kiss you...?"
"...!? *flustered*"

[next panel with Ceo face zoom in looking all 'take me now' //bricked]
"I..."
"...really want to..."
"...please?"

*flails and hides under a pillow*
What am I even doing........
Should Ceo swoop down for the kill next scene, or should Roland man up and kiss Ceo instead...
Or more awkward fumbling/half-incoherent convo?
*headdesk*

I highly approve of this dialogue uvu

Hmm~~
How about, the good old "What are you talking about?" kind of reaction, and Ceo looks all disheartened because he takes that as a rejection and that in returned makes Roland kiss him because he can't bear the look on his face and it just really makes him want to kiss him o3o

Why you torture Ceo like dis....
(Yet I highly approve of this... //bricked)

But if Roland is so oblivious to not know what Ceo is talking about, how in earth does he magically learn to kiss? 0.0
Or is it more of a 'holy crap this is so sudden be still my dead heart ahhhh fluster fluster stammer my ability to speak have left me' kind of reaction. But because he's drunk and Roland didn't go 'YES' right away Ceo processes that as rejection?

This is so going to turn into a serious thing now... I swear I'll end up drawing this whole scene out >___> it can be my doujinshi of this fanfic rofl. Since the actual plot will probably just have them all passed out in the interrogation room @.@

Hmm... I should add a page to the beginning to show them in Ceo's room or something to establish setting @.@

I shall figure out this doujin drawing thing. I shall. And then I will spam lovely dumb knights in love scenes. And smut once I figure out how to draw that too.... Mwahahahaha //bricked

Yes! That's what I mean. Not "I do not comprehend your words at all" but rather "wait what is happen". At least I'd go "wait what" if I suddenly found myself in Roland's situation... Which Ceo might possibly read as 'it never even occured to him to kiss me, so he really doesn't want to'. uvu

Ahaha |D <333 I really push you towards your doom with all my encouragement, don't I- (yet I do not regret a thing. You know you want it too!) On that note, I shall imagine Ceo and Roland both passed out next to each other with their faces on the table, facing each other, and Roland's arm around Ceo's shoulder ûu also Vival seriously lacking clothes and catching a cold in return

*^*!!! <3333333 This fhaystschilffe shall pray to the benevolent God of Light, in highest hopes his warmth shall fill Sister Kiyutsuna's heart with love for his beloved Knight-Children as great as his all-encompassing love for all his children, so Sister Kiyutsuna may find the devotion to put her skills, which the benevolent God of Light has blessed her with, to good use, so as to spread the love of his Knight-Children.

(Arin Sun and Aris Hell are twins who look identical enough to convince the previous Hell Knight to make his student dye his hair to keep them apart as they've always had this habit of switching places here and there - usually deciding by Rock-Paper-Scissors who has to do an annoying task that came up. (Btw, Arin is Sun because his name does not end on an S. Aris Sun is awkward to pronounce) At some point they developed a mental connection like the Queen of Moon Orchid has with her Knight Confidants and they know a bit of magic for most elements - usually just little tricks though, not counting the obvious Holy element. This a) comes in handy for Hell Knight jobs and b) whoever stars as Hell at the time usually covers their hair in some element to change its color. Originally they both auditioned for the Sun Knight position, but since they were both better than the other candidates but couldn't both be taken Hell Knigh took Aris as his student since their physical interswitchability was actually quite fitting for the unique position of Hell Knight. The majority of the Twelve Holy Knights of their generation actually don't know about Aris... well, they know they have a Hell Knight, and they are sure they probably regularly meet him but they don't know his name nor looks, let alone he's Arin's twin - or rather, that Arin has a twin at all. Even if their Sun Knight seems to be really good at being "in two places at the same time"... With the twins exchanging information on the fly however, there's no prove their could be more than one Sun. The only one who really knows and can actually tell them apart is Rayan Judgement. They specialize in brewing mead.
Rayan has always been an introvert and quite shy, though it looks more like he's being plain antisocial to most people. As a child his eyes were always fixed on the ground. He talks about as much as your average Ice Knight and if he's not on the job or training he spends all his time in his rooms, even eating there. It actually took him years to not take Metal's words to heart and he learned controlling his emotions outwards first before he learned to accept young Metal Knight only did his job... Though he still blushes bright red if anyone catches him smiling and calls him out on it. He likes to handle most of the paperwork generated the Judge's Complex himself (but nowhere near Ceo's level of work). On the other hand however, he gets lonely very easily, especially when he's still a child, so the twins developed a habit of hanging out in his room whenever they have the time. Usually it's Aris; Arin usually visits while Aris's pretending to be Sun. Rayan usually ignores his guests but he's actually thankful for the company.
A few years in, somewhere in the middle between taking over their positions and picking their students, during some great battle against something I did not yet decide on, Arin actually almost dies. To be exact he gets knocked off a cliff or something while heavily wounded and for a while everyone thinks he actually died... until "Sun" reappears and gives them a prep talk. Except that's actually Aris Hell who jumped in. Afterall, how could the Sun Knight die? That's unheard of! Of course the only one who notices is Rayan, and he's also aware Arin is nowhere between the regular holy knights Aris had been masquerading as before... Well, the most shocking point however is that the mental connection between the twins actually broke off (due to the magic attack that knocked him off the cliff or whatever idk yet). So yeah, while everyone else is confident their Sun Knight is just fine, Aris and Rayan actually believe Arin to be dead while Aris takes over the role of his brother. Except, a year or two later, Aris actually reappears after he did whatever it was he was doing all that time. In the attack back then he lost an eye, so instead of returning as the Sun Knight, he takes over his brother's role as the Hell Knight.

(...and that's the parts I actually thought about until now |D the rest are random tidbits:
Cygnus Metal is a pationate poet and writer. He uses a pen name for his novels, but his (mostly romantic) poems are actually published under Laon Storm's name.
Laon knows all of those poems by heart and uses them to charm the ladies. True to his title he loves ditching meetings and leaving his paperwork to his platoon; only his vice-captain gets him to work by threatening to spill the secret of his hair dye, or secretly switching it with some other color... How about a pink-haired Storm Knight?
Serpin Moon has a lovely singing voice.
Stone not only has no first name yet, but also an awful memory, so he takes notes about his most important decissions in order to stubbornly repeat them later if neccessary.
Vigil Blaze is actually a quiet bookworm type - well, until he opens his mouth at least. He may be calm, but his voice is awfully loud.
The other names I set are Benio Earth and Leone Cloud, the rest... has not been thought about at all...
Btw, the twin's hair is around Grisia's length, with longer bangs, and usually kept open or in this Neo-style half ponytail. It's more platinum than gold blond. Rayan's hair is short and curly, even more so than Elaro's.)

Ahhhh I want to draw your fanart of Arin/Rayan/Aris now @.@ gimme some refs naaaaoooooo........

The twin thing is really cool! Reminds me of Hikaru and Kaoru a bit xD;;;
Aldkladjlajflsldksjdjjakskskskkakaka cliffs! Why a cliff! OMG what if it's the same cliff Grisia ends up using for the SKP training later on?!
This sounds angsty ;___; Aris and Rayan must be so heartbroken during that time waaaaaah *sobs*

Lol Metal and Storm xD;;;; such a symbiotic relationship. it actually reminds me of this French play we're reading in English class right now. Where two guys team up to woo this chick. One has the looks and the other feeds him to lines to say... XD;;;

Hnnnnnn I really like this gen's set up. Really really like it <3333 write mawwwwwrrrrrr

thank you Q//u//Q <333

bsjdhfbljsdf--- sdjfsdljflsdfsdf---- I don't.... have any refs yet...... only mental images---

Ahahaha! yesss~~ guess where that came from |D
Cliffs come in handy as a possibly lethal means of knocking a person out of other's sight while not revealing if they really died or not- OMG. It is "the cliff that lets no sun knight die".

Ahaha... ha.... yeahIlikeputtingmybabiesthroughangst I'm a drama llama at heart xD;;
The scene after they all got back to the Holy Temple and held their aftermath meeting went like this... Rayan called Aris back, since he noticed the state of mind he's in, so they're alone in the room with the door closed. Rayan just tells him "It's okay to cry." to which Aris answers with a bad act of pretending to be confused and a crooked smile. "Aris." Aris' smile drops and Rayan simply steps near and pulls him close and Aris sobs into his robes.
//angstangst

Oh oh oh! I think I actually know exactly which play you are talking about. I don't remember the name but I remember reading the back side summary because I actually read the french version and was amazed how much I still understand... the delivery-based book store I part-time at specializes in school books and materials, so we've got most of the stuff usually read in class~

Huarrrrrgh I shall try to brainstorm shfbsdlf so many children to develop----

okok ahaha h-here have some quick refs for the twins and Rayan--- |DD
Well technically just one twin because. as said. they look the same. though you could always do the hair mirroring which doesn't actually even change much with their hairstyle...

I'll do the Hell Knight uniform later, since Arin only starts wearing it after he returns without his right eye, before whoever was currently not running around in Sun Knight attire just wore random commoner's clothes or masqueraded as a normal holy knight o3o much like my thoughts on Tyler their Hell Vice-Captain stood in for his captain whenever the Hell Knight just had to appear in public and for hymning service, well, it's just said that this generation's Sun Knight was especially devoted and loved conducting the hymning twice as much as the other Holy Knights...

I'll put colors on these later, as well as possible back side shots... I'm not sure yet if I want to go with blue or more greenish shade with the Sun uniform yet, but probably some kind of blue. Judgement uniform obviously's got the black/dark grey/dark red color scheme going on since both Carol and my personally prefered J.U. designs got that.
As mentioned, the twin's hair is platinum blond; their eyes are a greyish light blue. Rayan's hair is black, but his eyes are a dark brown.

[EDIT:] Here are the color refs, ahaha |D In the end I actually used turquoise.

HRRRRRGH. I'm looking forward to it waaaaaah. I AM UNWORTHY I love your art a lot okay and WOARGH. *casually flails*

Ahaha yes, tbh their hair is based on a wig I own that hasn't been cut yet--- Ssssh, it's totally magic okay. ûu (In other words they probably wear headbands or something to keep the hair out of their faces when they know they're going into battle... I just gotta find a design that does not look utterly ridiculous)
Cute Judgement Knights are the best |D <33 don't call him cute to his face he might blush

The only tiny thing would be that Rayan's grand collar is actually a hood! That's what the lower side sketch on my ref is, the hood in back-view (the upper thing is how the sleeves can be rolled up). I admit that's hard to see on an SD ref, ahaha |D

My most prominent self-insert OC ship was my Final Fantasy VII OC I shipped with Rufus Shinra... though at some point I started feeling awkward shipping my OC with a canon character. So what did I do? The usual - ship her with her long-lost brother instead and then send her off to commit suicide, only to start plotting why she wasn't dead/revived not too long after xDD putting my favorite OCs through angst has a long history.....
Your Vice-Captains are all so lovely <3 And in the end, Tyler's still the main character. If I want some entirely new protagonist, I'll go read a new series. Though every now and then I attempt reading fanfics with an OC main character if the writing style is alright. Often I actually quite enjoy the first half of the story, but eventually it loses my interest or starts getting exhausting - especially if it's a female main that does way too much whining and moping for me to bear... I prefer my long-term angst being about my own OCs |D *coughs*
