How Can I Fall?
"Please, Wolfram I…" Yuuri stammered. Tonight, after a routine argument about cheating at bedtime (unfounded, as usual), Wolfram had backed him into a corner and showed no sign of letting up. Wolfram drew closer to Yuuri, raised his hand and, much to Yuuri's surprise, said hand was placed gently on his cheek instead of forming a fireball.
"Am I really so difficult to love, Yuuri?" Wolfram whispered, green eyes downcast. By now he'd already retracted the hand he'd stroked Yuuri's cheek with, and he was slowly turning to walk away when Yuuri grabbed hold of his hand.
"Give me time to care.
The moment's here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you?
Wolfram looked at Yuuri dubiously. "Can't you just tell me the truth!?"
Yuuri didn't listen and just kept on with his song. All will be explained, Wolfram. All will be explained, Yuuri's dark eyes seemed to say.
Could I lie to you?
I'm just too weak to face the truth.
Wolfram sighed. In his mind he said, "No, Yuuri. If anything, your good heart has the most courage because it only knows how to do what's right,"
Now I know I should make a move
What more can I say?
Wolfram pursed his lips and held on to the hand Yuuri grabbed his with. "Please don't tell me you can't love me, Yuuri. Anything, please, just not that."
Yuuri looked into gradually hardening jade eyes and begged for understanding.
How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons--when you just won't give me reasons at all?
Wolfram cocked an eyebrow indignantly. I don't give any reasons? Then he realized that he'd been putting Yuuri in a bad place all the time. Yelling at him, accusing him of cheating – he hardly gave Yuuri any slack.
When all faith is gone,
I fight myself to carry on…
Yes I know of the harm I do!
What more can I say to you?
Yuuri had been battling with himself since the first time he saw Wolfram. Everything he thought was right, ESPECIALLY about boys loving other boys crumbled into dust the first time he saw the blond-haired prince. But Yuuri knew that attraction was not necessarily love, and before he made any rash decisions and hurt people, he'd rather ask for time to know what exactly he felt.
Now I hold this line.
I know the choice to leave is mine.
I can't help what I feel inside.
What more can I say?
Wolfram's eyes closed as his mind raced to assess what Yuuri was telling him. Was Yuuri telling him that he wanted to run away? Wolfram quickly latched on to Yuuri, embracing him tightly. The last thing he wanted was for Yuuri to go and never return.
How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons --when you just won't give me reasons at all?
Wolfram's tears wet Yuuri's shoulder. Sensing that his fiancé was weeping, Yuuri gently pulled away and looked Wolfram in the eyes once more.
I'll follow through, I'll say I do.
When the time is far more right for you
I'll make that move, and when I do, will I doubt again, the way I do.
Wolfram's heart soared. "Of course!" he thought. "When Yuuri decides, he will decide for sure! He never goes back on his word!" Wolfram thought joyfully.
How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons -- when you just won't give me reasons at all?
How can I fall, how can I fall when you just won't give me reasons?
When you just won't give me reasons…
How can I fall, how can I fall when you just won't give me reasons?
When you just won't give me reasons..
Just won't give me reasons --
Just won't give me reasons at all…
How can I fall, I fall, I fall
How can I fall for you?
Wolfram grinned, and Yuuri smiled back. Wolfram delighted in the possibility of at last being given a chance to prove his love.
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons…
Wolfram looked down, nodding in acknowledgment of the situation. Yuuri was holding his hands. Yuuri was showing Wolfram that he cares, but that he would not lie to him about loving him because if he were wrong, countless people would be hurt. The whole kingdom's stability would be at stake. Yuuri being Yuuri, he would never put himself before the majority.
Wolfram at last looked up and smiled through his tears. He would wait, forever if need be. He decided he would just have to give Yuuri the reasons to fall.
