The God Emperor of Mankind, gleaming in his finest golden armor, shifted in his chair uncomfortably. He sat across from the incredibly beautiful, if not slightly unsettling, Chaos God of Pleasure: Slaanesh, who was looking over the menu options for the restaurant they were in. Strange as it may seem, these two mortal enemies were on a date, the result of a deal struck between the Emperor and Doomrider to secure the release of some drug addled orphans.

Slaanesh enjoyed a fine meal of several drug laced eldar wines and meats of species the Emperor had thought extinct, while the Emperor himself only ate a simple Terran Bovine steak with Ork scotch for the drink.

 

As they ate, they reminisced about many things, laying upon the vast green fields of Ancient Terra, the thrill of conquest, the destruction of the Eldar pantheon, the acquisition of daemon princes, and the  strange disappearance of a mutual friend named Malal. When they finished their meal, they left and took a tour of Commorragh. Throwing stones at Scourges, knocking over Kheradruakh's pile of skulls, and sharing a laugh as half the city scrambled to find three billion slaves that had mysteriously disappeared, the two developed a small bond, even if it was buried deep within them.

 

After disrupting the Dark Eldar to the point of boredom, both retired to watch a red giant go supernova. As they watched and waited for the convulsing star to breathe its last, Slaanesh cozied up to the Emperor, wrapping not only his/her arm around him, but a also few errant tentacles. Surprisingly, the Emperor returned the embrace and allowed himself a small smile. They sat in silence, with Slaanesh's head resting on the Emperor's shoulder, and watched as the dying star finally ended its life in an explosion of light, matter, and beauty. It was a magnificent sight, and came not a moment too soon, as Slaanesh was called away to deal with a few Bloodletters vandalizing his/her palace while the Emperor had to tend to the Astronomican. Before they parted ways, the Emperor gave Slaanesh a small kiss, and returned to Terra.

 

The End.
