Shin Makoku's aristocrats were gathered in a long, tedious, meeting today where the only important thing to happen so far was the new, silent, agreement not to let Lord von Spitzveg talk first ever again.

Lord von Kleist : "Enough with this! What we need to do is secure the aqueducts for the rainy season!"
Lady von Radford: "But then the border towns will suf-!"
The doors flew open with such a force it was surprising they didn't fly off their hinges.
King Yuuri: "GWENDAL!"
The von Voltaire lord got to his feet in an instant.
Gwendal: "Yes! Is somethi-?"

CRACK! All the court was silent for a moment as their king stood in front of Gwendal holding his hand across him.
King Yuuri: "Have it your way! If THIS is really how you want it; Then fine!"
Deep pink slowly showed itself on Gwendal's left cheek.

Gwendal: "Yuuri..." The older demon could only whisper.
Yuuri: "Was all I did really not good enough, Gwendal?" Once unshead tears now streamed down tan skin,leaving red trails in their wake.

Gwendal: "Of course it was-"
Yuuri: "Then why? Why won't you marry me? I wrote it into the clouds, for Shinou's sake!"
Gwendal: "I know; But I wanted it like in the fairy-tales, With a slap.
Yuuri: "But I didn't want to hurt you! Is hurting you the only way you would've accepted it?"
Gwendal: "Yes, And I'm sorry."
Yuuri: "For what?" The young king knew the answer.

Gwendal: "For rejecting every proposal."
Yuuri: "Every one, huh?" He said, regaining his composure.
Gwendal: "Yes, Like when you wrote it into the clouds."
Yuuri: "And?"
Gwendal: "And when you wrote it below my window in coal."
Yuuri: "And?"
Gwendal: "And when you lined up kittens to spell it out."
Yuuri: "Aaand?"
Gwendal: "And when you spelled it out in rose petals in the bath."
Yuuri: "Aaaand?"
Gwendal: "And when you got down on one knee and gave me a ring."
Yuuri: "And all that really wasn't good enough, but hitting you was?"
Gwendal drew forward placing his firm hands on his young lover's damp cheeks.
Gwendal: "Yuuri, I'm a stubborn man. And I truly am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you like this."
Gwendal leaned in leaving only an inch between their lips. "I love you"

Their lips finally met in a sweet kiss, quickly returned as the younger man wrapped his arms around Gwendal's neck to deepen it. As they moved in time to each other, Gwendal licked Yuuri's bottom lip asking for entrance, Yuuri parted his lips in response allowing Gwendal to explore every corner of his mouth, making Yuuri mewl in pleasure.
Lord von Bielefeld: *clears throat*
Gwendal & Yuuri: !
The two parted, lightly panting.
Gwendal: "Sorry"
Yuuri: "We'll be going now" He said as he dragged his general and lover out of the room to continue elsewhere
