Aimé Laurent: The Funeral.
Subject: The Funeral.
Who: Aimé Laurent
Where: The Embassy Chaple.
Warnings:None
Open to: Everyone

Fittingly it was a cold day. The air was crisp, and the sky cloudy and the coffin the best that they could afford. The body should have been entombed in France, in the family plot, but at least there was a little comfort to be taken in the form of the Catholic ceremony. His father would have been proud of that, although it would cost dearly one day the sacrfice was worth making.

Aimé was numb. He knew there were things he should be feeling, thinking but he couldn’t begin to comprehend that tomorrow he would get up and his father wouldn’t be there. It had been a week already but with the arangments for the funeral he had been distant from his emotions, preocupied with organising.

Tomorrow. There would be so much to do tomorrow. To think about. But not now, now he had to show a united front with Antoine, greet those who had come to pay their last respects and put off grieving for another day.

	"Your hearing is in perfect order, Aimé." Léon said, "Breakfast. It is taken before the day has the chance to grate on one's soul. Don't you agree? At a nice restaurant, or an inn, perhaps? An Inn would be best." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aimé took a step back, throughly puzzled now. "I'm afraid, sir, that I do not quite understand what you want or what you are asking me to do. Although I do know what breakfest is, thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Breakfast, did someone mention breakfast," Augustin said approaching them both like he'd not been listening to every word exchanged between the two men. His blood was boiling at how the Ambassador was treating Aimé but remained unwavering as he smiled.

"Ambassador I do thank you for keeping my brother company before the service. This is a very trying time for my brothers and I as I'm sure you can imagine. But I do thank you for allowing us to have the service here." Augustin moved to Aimé's side, hoping he wouldn't be too alarmed until they could be alone.

	"What do you mean by that?" Aimé hissed, not ready to let Augustin walk away - not after saying something like that, not after Aimé had so many things he still wanted to say - wanted to scream at him - "Are you just going to walk away again? Not even going to tell Antoine you're back in the country or did you just feel like hurting me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And yet you did quite happily see me hurt when you left us, when you betrayed your family and your country." Aimé hissed, brushing his brother's hand away. He couldn't stand to have Augustin touch him so intimately after what he had done, how they had used to be together before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You weren't in trouble, you'd cooperated with the enemy." Aimé said stiffly. His eyes widened at the sight of his brother's wounds, and the retort he had to the question about the ambassador’s blackmail dying on his tongue. "What happened to you Augustin? What did you do?"

	"Augustin, don't treat me like a child. What do you mean you stepped in front of a gun?" Aimé said, unable to keep his worry coming through in his voice. Despite everything Augustin was his brother, and no matter how much he hated him he loved him still - couldn't stop that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
