Chapter 8: Funeral

(No ones POV)

Today was a really sad day. Today is the funeral of Adam, who was poisoned. Unfortunately, for (y/n) and the rest of Adam's friends, the person responsible for his death has yet to be identified. 
But putting that aside for this tragic day, many people from the kingdom of Mewni were entering the castle for the funeral. Some of these people were noblemen of the kingdom, while others were simple friends from Adam's childhood who wanted to pay respect to their friend. The nobles were concerned since Adam was part of the magical high commission and he was assassinated. This could have been done by an enemy of the kingdom, which would mean a possible attack in the future. If it is not that the same person tries to assassinate in a similar way another member of the magic high commission or worse, a member of the royal family...

However, the attention of many began to focus on something else when (y/n) entered the great hall accompanied by Hekapoo and... A metal man with a flat hat? Some were confused since they have never seen anything similar to Scaramouche and had no idea what a robot was. 
Putting this experience aside for some of the Mewni residents who attended the funeral, the group of three were dressed for the occasion in traditional black funeral clothing. Even Scaramouche, who was dressed in the same clothes but with a black tint.

Hekapoo: When did you make more than one clothing design for him?

Scaramouche: My master has skills for everything, babe! You shouldn't be surprised by this!

Hekapoo: Stop calling me babe...

Scaramouche: I can't help it, babe. It's the best way I have to address a beauty like you. 

Hekapoo: Ugh...

Hekapoo started to pinch her forehead in frustration. No matter how hard she tries, she will never be able to change how Scaramouche acts with just words.

Scaramouche: What? You don't believe that you are a beauty? Why don't you ask my master? He thinks you are-

(y/n) quickly interrupted Scaramouche before he could say more than necessary and obvious in front of Hekapoo.

(y/n): Scaramouche! How about you go to "socialize" with the rest of the people here?

Scaramouche: Oh! You want some time alone with the lady, huh?~ 

(y/n): That's not what I-

Scaramouche: Alright! I'll give you two some... Privacy~ If you know what I mean~

...

...

...

Scaramouche: You know what I-

Hekapoo: Yes! We KNOW what you mean!

Scaramouche: Alright alright! Watch out, master. This kitty has sharp claws~

Scaramouche started to back away from (y/n) and Hekapoo while doing a moonwalk. Hekapoo turned to look at (y/n) with a serious face.

Hekapoo: Seriously, what's wrong with him?

(y/n): I don't know, okay? 

(y/n) crossed his arms while  pouting.

(y/n): I wasn't in my best moment when I created him...

Hekapoo: Okay, I guess you are right about that and you have some sort of excuse... But try to explain that to them.

Hekapoo pointed at Scaramouche, who was trying to show his dance moves to some of the guests, who were slowly backing away from him with uncomfortable smiles on their faces. (y/n) and Hekapoo shared a moment of laughter together that lasted for a brief moments. 

However, that moment did not lasted too long. Hekapoo was somewhat intrigued by what Scaramouche said about what (y/n) thinks of her. It's true that (y/n) and Hekapoo shared a... Special night. But Hekapoo couldn't think much about it and just assumed it was something caused by alcohol. This was not the best time to ask these kinds of questions. But at the same time, many of the guests didn't want to disturb (y/n) either. Therefore no one would disturb them, especially Scaramouche who was distracted.

Hekapoo: Hey... (y/n)? Can I ask you something?

(y/n): You just did.

Hekapoo: (y/n), I'm serious!

(y/n): Sorry! Go ahead then.

Hekapoo: (y/n)... Do you... Do you by any chance feel something for me?

(y/n) quickly blushed and tried to keep his cool.

(y/n): W-Why are you asking that now?!

Hekapoo: Just said yes or no!

(y/n) was literally cornered between the flame and the wall. He himself began to ask himself the same question and he was afraid to give an answer, not knowing which is the correct one. Hekapoo was staring at (y/n), waiting for an answer. Hekapoo originally thought (y/n) was just a really good friend. However, in the scenario where (y/n) admits that he has feelings for her, Hekapoo would have a couple of reasons why, unfortunately, she would have to reject those feelings.

Hekapoo: Well?

(y/n): I-I... I-

Fortunately for (y/n), some of Hekapoo's co-workers arrived just in time to interrupt the conversation. Lekmet and Rhombulus were behind Hekapoo. Somehow they managed to get closer without drawing (y/n)'s attention... Probably because his mind was having technical problems.

Rhombulus: Hey guys...

Hekapoo: Huh?

Hekapoo turned and saw Lekmet and Rhombulus. Rhombulus was really depressed. It was easy to say it just by seeing how decayed his posture was.

Hekapoo: Rhombulus? I didn't expected to see you here. I thought you wouldn't want to come here.

Rhombulus: Yeah... But this is the funeral of a good friend and my guts would have felt terrible if I would have stayed at home... They kinda feel terrible now. But I think it could have been worst. How is the kid doing?

(y/n): Don't call me kid. And I'm... Not doing so well. I'm sad and being here already makes me want to leave.

Lekmet: Baaah! Ba-ah! BAAAAAH!

(y/n): Uh... What?

Rhombulus: He said that it's normal to feel like that and that you can ask him for anything if you need something.

(y/n): Oh... Thanks? But for now, all I need is for this day to end so you guys don't have to see me crying later.

Rhombulus: You don't need to cry later. There is nothing wrong about crying! It shows that you are not afraid of showing your feelings and your pain to everyone!

(y/n): But I-

Rhombulus pulled (y/n)'s arm and quickly caught him in a hug, holding him tightly between his snake arms. Rhombulus didn't notice that he was using way too much strenght in that hug.

Rhombulus: Feel free to cry over my chest if you need to!

(y/n): R-Rhombulus!

Rhombulus: Huh... This is helping me too. My guts feel way better now!

(y/n): C-Can't breath!

This little act of goofiness made many of the people in the great hall laught, making the sad air of the funeral get more warm. Scaramouche saw (y/n) being squeezed and couldn't help himsefl but to chuckle.

Scaramouche: Aww! My master made a new friend!

???: Alright, Rhombulus. You already had your time with Adam's son. 

Rhombulus, Lekmet, and Hekapoo recognized that person's voice. Rhombulus released (y/n), who fell onto his knees while catching his breath.

???: Would you mind giving me a moment with the kid?

Rhombulus: But of course, your majesty! 

Lekmet: BAAAH!!!

Hekapoo: But I was- Ugh... Nevermind. I'll talk to him later.

???: Thank you all.

The members of the high magical commission went elsewhere to probably talk about their deceased friend. Once they got out of the way, (y/n) was able to see who was the person who saved his life from being chocked to death.

(y/n): K-King Logan?

King Logan used to be a knight before getting married with Queen Celena. They got married when the two of them were teens, so they have been married for quite a while now.
Logan had long black hair that reached his shulders. The king also had a circular beard and was slightly taller than the queen. Surprisingly, King Logan was wearing the same silver armor that he used to wear in his days as knight.

Logan: Let me help you.

Logan stretched a hand for (y/n) to take, who didn't hesitated to accept that help. Despite being rusty, Logan had no trouble at lifting (y/n) up from the floor. In fact, (y/n) was rubbing his hand due to Logan's strong grip.

(y/n): Jeez... I can see why no one wanted to fight you, you majesty.

Logan: Please call me Logan. There is no need for formalities.

Logan stared at (y/n) for a few moments, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable. (y/n) quickly brought up the first topic of conversation that occurred to him.

(y/n): S-So... Why the armor, your majes-Logan! I was trying to say Logan!

Logan chuckled for a brief moment before explaining.

Logan: I used to wear this when I was a knight. Your father and I have been friends for that long and I thought it would be a good way to honor him. By wearing the same armor I that I had the day we met.

(y/n): That is indeed a nice gesture from your part, your majes-LOGAN! 

Logan chuckled again before giving (y/n) a heavy pat in the back that almost made him fall. 

Logan: You are just like your father. I'm sure that you will make us enjoy quite the time once you take Adam's place in the high magical commission.

(y/n): I... What?

(y/n) froze for a moment... Take his father's place on the high magical commission? (y/n) knew that he had talents that not many in Mewni shared. But after his long history of explosions, along with a lot of his work being trial and error... He still couldn't see himself being part of the high magical commission.

Logan: From what my wife has been telling me about you, you have quite the knowledge. I'm expecting great things from you.

(y/n): B-But your ma- I mean, Logan! I-

The sound of a glass being hit with a spoon caught everyone's attention. Celena was standing next to the coffin where Adam's body was. (y/n) turned back to Logan, only to see him gone.

Celena: Could I have your attention everyone? 

Everyone quickly started to shut up, allowing Celena to speak to everyone in the room. She normally speaks in a low tone. But today was no day to be shy and hide feelings...

Celena: Thank you...As you know, today we are here to honor Adam. Some of you knew him as the only citizen of Mewni who belonged to the magic high commission outside of the royal family. Others knew him as a good friend that they could always count with. In my opinion, Adam was much more than that. He was a part of Mewni that represented the voices of the simplest people of the kingdom. A part of Mewni that sadly was vilely snatched away from us by the hands of a murderer. I just want to say that no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, justice will be served in Adam's name once we discover the culprit of his murder... Thank you all.

The queen walked away from the coffin silently while the rest of the members of the magic high commission went to pay their respects.

Hekapoo: You always made everyone laught in the most silliest ways...

Rhombulus: You always helped me every time I screwed something up...

Lekmet: *Sad random goat noises* (I was tired, okay?)

(y/n)(mind): For the life of me... I can not understand a single word from that goat.

Omnitraxus: I will write a star in your honor, buddy. I know you really liked them...

For everyone's surprise, Scaramouche went to the coffin.

Scaramouche: Adam... You were the creator of my creator... That's all I know about you. But for what I can tell, you were indeed a great person.

Scaramouche took off his hat while crying some oil tears.

(y/n)(mind): I... Never gave him that function...

(y/n) was snapped from his thoughts when Celena placed a hand on his shoulder.

Celena: Do you wish to say something?

(y/n): I... I don't think I can express what I feel in words. Also I don't think I can bear to be in front of so many people today.

Celena: I see. We will respect your space then.

(y/n): Thanks, queen Celena. You are a good friend. But I... Will like to speak to you in private later.

Celena: Very well. Just tell me when you need to talk with me, (y/n).

Celena stepped away from (y/n) and took a drink from a table. She lifted her glass high in the air and raised her voice.

Celena: A toast for Adam!

Everyone in the great hall clinked their glasses as they screamed "for Adam" at the top of their lungs. (y/n) had a small smile on his face. Seeing that his father had more friends than it seemed and that everyone was there to commemorate his memory was something that eased (y/n)'s pain. Despite being a funeral, today was not such a sad day thanks to the many people who were there to share and ease the pain.
But... There was still a problem with what would be (y/n)'s new job. Let's hope that the queen can explain a couple of things...

(AAANNNNDDD DONE!!!)

First of all: Kul3tin

Here is what I promissed (surprised I didn't forget? xD)

Second of all, I'm very sorry to be this late with this chapter. This is being a very complicated year for me on at an emotional, economic, and physical level (I don't have covid. Don't worry about it). Today I managed to make an exception with my times (I spent a whole night with this chapter) and try to dedicate some time to wattpad. Certainly seeing comment after comment of "update this" and "update that" didn't make me feel any better. I don't blame you for asking me to update after the time it took me to do it... I just blame myself for taking this long. Honestly, I don't deserve you guys xD

Anyway, I just want you all to know that...

I LOVE ABSOLUTELY ALL OF YOU!!!
