A Precious Birthday Memory

Grand Chase - Harpe x Ronan

A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARPE MY BELOVED!!! It stills June 1st for me, so that’s all that matters. I tried to keep this SFW, which was a little of a struggle, since all I can think of when I read ‘Harpe x Ronan’ is this. 

It doesn’t have anything splicity, but if you aren’t comfortable with yaoi, I don’t recomend this read. With that said, enjoy!

Summary: Trying to figure out what the best birthday gift for Harpe may be, Hwarin decide to check up on the Tower Memories, ending finding another precious memory of her dear knight’s past life instead.

Word count: 1694 words.

There must be something. Something she wasn't thinking of. Hwarin walked side to side in her room, two servants following her with their eyes as the young queen struggled to come with a solution for her problem.

It soon would be Harpe's birthday. Not only her most loyal and precious guard, but someone who had become a dear friend and did much more for her than any other ever did. She was willing to make something special, but there was no gift she could think of. It was in moments like this that she realised how little she knew him.

"Maybe some new clothes, your majesty?" One of the servants suggested.

"Too simple, besides, he usually just wear his uniform."

"Then... what if you made him some sweets?" The other spoke, cheerfully.

"I'm a disaster cooking, I'd end up killing him... again."

She grunted, it was a very rare scene to see the queen in such a distress, but after thousands of ideas, none seemed to be good enough for her dear attendant.

"Is there someone you can talk about it?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"A friend of him, for example, or someone who spent sometime with him, besides your majesty, of course."

"A friend..." She muttered, bringing her fingers to her lips as she thought about it.

It was a reasonable idea, but the people who knew him, like Ronan, were far away at that point, she wouldn't make it in time neither would a letter. Marcus? No, they would just see each other once in a while and she doubted Harpe would open himself in situations like that. Rufus? No... it wasn't like he would be willing to talk to her over a trivial matter like that.

"Yes, your majesty, did you remembered someone?"

She widened her eyes, looking to her servant, "say that again."

"Ah, you... remembered someone?"

"No, but there is something that can."

Both servants looked to each other, confused. Something?

"Follow me, I know where we can find what we are looking for." She ordered, fixing her clothes before walk out of the room.

-------------

After a short travel, Hwarin stepped out of the carriage with the help of her servants, walking to the staircase in front of the tower before turn back to them, "you two wait here, if Harpe comes back to the palace, order the servants to keep him busy there. He can't find out, it's supposed to be a surprise, after all."

"Yes, your majesty." Both answered in unison.

The queen walked inside the tower, pushing the doors open that slowly closed behind her. It didn't took long for the Post Officer to come and talk to her.

"Guest, identify yourself." The librarian requested in a robotic-like voice.

"Myung Hwarin, Queen of The Underworld."

"Searching database... Level 01 controller identified. Welcome, your majesty."

"Please, bring me the memories..." she hesitated for a second, thinking if it was the right thing to do, "bring me the memories of Harpe Noir."

"As you wish." The tower manager said, floating away and searching for the log. Meanwhile, Hwarin looked for a table to sit, where she could study the memories and find something Harpe trully enjoyed.

The Post Officer brought her what she wanted, the book with all Harpe's memories while he was still alive. She thanked them and began to search in the book, looking for the memories around his past birthdays.

"Aww... him and Ronan used to be so cute, heh..." Hwarin muttered with a cheeky smile, gently scrolling the pages. The emotions that roamed around those dates were always so positive... happiness, love, peace...

"Hmm, so he used to eat parfait along Ronan... I don't remember he eating something like that recently. I guess I coul- huh?" she stopped, sensing the emotions getting a way stronger around his 21st birthday.

The queen stared at the log, curious. As far as she managed to read, it seemed to be a yearly routine: wake up, morning walk, lunch together and parfait as dessert along his old master. Did they changed something?

Hwarin wasted no time in moving to the next page. Maybe Ronan bought him something? If that was the case, she needed to find what was it right way.

"Let me see..." she muttered, sliding her fingers under the words as she started reading the log.  "The sunshine managed...

...to break through the window, resting over Harpe's face. The boy scrunched his eyes, blocking the light with his hand before open his eyes, sighing and sitting down on his bed. He scratched the back of his head, yawning as he stood up, stretching his arms above his head and starting his morning routine: wake up, take a bath, get changed and go wake up his master, just like everyday.

Softly knocking on the door twice, Harpe opened the door, walking in. "Good morning..." he cooed, approaching the bed where his master was.

Ronan whined, turning to the side and bringing the blankets over his head. "It's too early..." he cried out, not even peeking.

"It's not. It's time, actually." Harpe said calmly, pulling the blankets, making the blue haired squirm.

"You are so mean, Harpe."

"Now now, aren't we too old for that?" He chuckled, making Ronan sit down on the bed, admiring his messed up self. Who, besides him, would be gifted with the sight of Kanavan's most honorable knight after waking up?

"Joykiller." Ronan pouted, getting out of the bed and streching his back, stop in front of the mirror in his room, rubbing his cheeks as he tried to get back to his senses.

"I just do what is the best for you. Let me get your bath ready for you, young master." He said while fixing his master's bed, folding the blankets and placing them at the end of the bed, walking across the room and opening the sinks, starting to fill up the bathtub.

It took barely a few minutes before he called Ronan, who moved into the room with lazy steps, still half asleep.

"Harpe..." Ronan called for him, stopping by the bathtub side, patiently waiting for the other's answer.

"Yes?"

"Help me undress?"

The reaction was instantly, a light blush growing on the white haired's cheeks. Harpe could already spot the grin on his master's lips, but he shouldn't play along, not so easily. "Pardon me?"

"Help me undress, please." Ronan added, placing his hands behind his back and waiting.

"...You are 19 years old, young master..." Harpe sighed in defeat. Standing up and start unbuttoning the other boy's shirt, "I think it's inappropriate to ask a servant something like that."

"That's why I'm asking you."

Harpe's eyebrows twitched, how could someone as kind as him be so defiant sometimes? Not that he could exactly complain. "Well, the queen surely wouldn't be pleased if she knew something about it."

"Then keep this as a secret." Ronan said, giggling and moving his arms to help Harpe take the shirt out, looking over his shoulder to see the boy, "it's a special day, I should be spoiling after all."

"Hm..." The boy hummed, folding the shirt and placing it away, "A special date? And is your way of spoiling me giving me more work?" He teased back, making Ronan lean against the the bathtub border to start taking out the boy's pants.

"Someone else may buy your acting... not me." Ronan held the boy's face gently and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before place his forehead on Harpe's, "I wanted to make something special for your birthday."

"R-Ronan?!" Harpe lost his posture at that point, widening his eyes as he fell for his master's teases, "W-what is this about-"

"Oh please." He chuckled, kissing him again, a longer and more tender one this time, gasping as he broke their kiss, "Good that you already dropped the 'master', there is no one around anyway." The blue haired grinned.

"I..." he smiled shyly, looking to Ronan, "just our usual program would be enough, Ronan..."

The blue haired pulled the boy for another kiss, his free hand trying to start to get rid of some of his clothes, "no... not this year." He chuckled, "...happy birthday Harpe."

"W-wait," he gasped, wrapping his hands around Ronan's waist to not let his master fall inside the tub, "w-what if someone hear us?" the other servants might...

...start a gossip, Harpe added with worry in his voice. His master, then..." Hwarin kept reading, her face completely covered in red, with one hand over her mouth as she kept going deeper and deeper into that memory.

"...he then started t- STARTED WHAT?!"

"Your highness?"

"AH!" She closed the log shut, looking away from the direction of the voice, "w-what is it?!"

"The sun is setting... we should head back to the palace. Did you find what you where looking for?"

"Y-Yes, I did." Hwarin said, wagging her face with her hand.

"Oh, that's great! What should we get to your knight?"

"What you should get?" She repeated, noticing how she forgot her main goal, "A-ah, parfait! Yes, parfait. Please, 2 parfaits, I will celebrate his birthday as we eat it."

"Surely! I will order the others to prepare it as soon as we head back." The servant commented cheerfully, "shall we go?"

"Yes, let's head back." Hwarin commented, recovering her facade and leaving the logs on the table. Thanking the manager and leaving.

"Is there something wrong, your highness? You seem a little... concerned." One of the servants asked while they were inside the carriage, noticing the look on Hwarin's face as she stared at the window.

"O-Oh, I'm fine, sorry to worry you... It's just, it's just that I don't think I'll never be able to give him a better memory." She chuckled, feeling a little shy just by remembering what she read in the longs. "Harpe surely had a great master."

Both servants looked at each other without understand, but deciding to simply ignore it. After all, only the queen had access to the Tower of Memories' logs and if Hwarin seemed pleased, that was all that mattered to them.

Reminding myself that though the journey is hard and long you have to take time out and appreciate the silence and the little things .... This year has passed by so quickly and I have had the pleasure of experiencing so much but at the same time I sometimes ask myself the question have I been present when I needed to be. Or have I let my emotions get the better of me? Did I K Michelle else get in the way of it all. We all have these sorts of struggles and I know I am still trying to find a part of me I don't hate or criticise and yet I know that at this moment it just feels like I am helpless to do not knowing where to go or what to start because it feels like I might drown... There is always an upside to things and I will get there I am sure but for today I am going to sit with my coffee and mull over things and just breath...because the worst thing that I could do right now is not to do nothing but panic and do something I regret. Honestly I really am thankful that many of you even take the time to appreciate the content and I hope that I can keep creating content that will eventually enable what I do dream for. Sorry for the rant but I hope if you have gotten this far that you have a fabulous day . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #simple #splicity #ig_photooftheday #igfood #comfort #sydney #foodie #coffeegram #coffeegram #foodiegram #foodstagram #gaystagram #gay #gays #ig_captures #igdaily #igs #instapicture #gratitude #thoughts #emotions #life #lovr #reflection .

Example of a startup that fails to tell people what it does and what's in it for them. It's a video app but why should I use it
