Wolfram von Bielefeld stood in front of his Royal Guard, training them to be the best fire-wielding mazoku of them all. "No! Don't hold yourself that way, you'll end up burning yourself!" he yelled at one of his new recruits.
The brown-haired, brown-eyed newbie gave Wolfram an abashed look for a second before he nodded and said, "Yes sir!" The newbie, who was named Deveron, looked back up at his commanding-officer as soon as he turned his back. A blush appeared on his face as he watched the fiery blond demonstrating the form and heat of the fire they were supposed to be creating.
Wolfram was still as beautiful as ever, if not more, even after four years passed since the Maou came to Shin Makoku. His eyes were still emerald green, even though the fire that was usually there had dimmed a little over the years, and his hair was still a beautiful shade of gold, yet it wasn't as mesmerizing as it once had been. Men and women alike lusted after the blond fire-wielder but he didn't even pay them a second glance.
Wolfram von Bielefeld only had eyes for Yuuri-heika.
Deveron wondered why his commanding-officer still tried to get His Majesty. Yuuri had never shown any signs of even partially showing Wolfram any affection at all. He even had the nerve to constantly say that his engagement to Wolfram was a mistake! Deveron silently fumed at what it must be like for Wolfram. He knew, for a fact, that the reason Wolfram wasn't shining as brightly as he used to was because of Yuuri-heika.
Wolfram was stronger than most when it came to willpower but even he would start to lose confidence when he was constantly shot down and then brushed aside by the one he loved.
But then, Deveron felt a light stab of regret. He knew Yuuri-heika wasn't doing it on purpose; he was sure Yuuri wouldn't hurt anybody that badly if he knew he was doing it. But Yuuri was as dense as a board. He wouldn't know someone was hurting unless they showed obvious signs of being hurt; like actually telling him they were hurt, but Deveron knew the blond better than that. Wolfram would never swallow his pride to confess his was hurt by Yuuri's remarks.
And Deveron felt another stab, of pity this time. It was a shame that he, a newbie that hadn't even known Wolfram personally for more than a month now, knew more about Wolfram than his own fiancé, who knew him for years, did.
In fact, everybody knew of it, even Greta. The princess had known for a long time and helped comfort Wolfram sometimes; Deveron had heard them one time. Deveron's pity feeling didn't go away, even when he was addressed.
Deveron was jolted out of his thoughts by the object of said thoughts yelling at him. "Deveron! Were you listening to me?" he barked.
Deveron blushed again and was about to lie and say "Yes" but one look of the blond's death glare and he decided it wasn't a good idea. "N-N-No sir," he stammered, looking away from the fierce gaze.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Wolfram snapped and Deveron quickly turned towards him again. Wolfram, satisfied by the action, smirked lightly before going back into officer-mode. "Why were you not paying attention?" he asked.
"…I-I…" Deveron scrambled for a reply that wouldn't give him away, yet wouldn't be a lie. Wolfram glared one last time before sighing.
"Never mind Deveron. Just pay attention," Wolfram said and walked away. Deveron felt sad that he upset the blond but decided to drop it.
He stood, listened, and did as he was told for about an hour before Yuuri's voice was heard.
"Ah!" he screamed and ran behind Wolfram. Wolfram looked weirdly at him until he heard the Maou's advisor yelling through the halls. "HEIKA!!!"
Wolfram scoffed and turned to Yuuri. "Wimp! Why can't you just go through you're studies like you're supposed to!" he yelled at Yuuri.
Yuuri cringed slightly at the harshness in Wolfram's voice. He'd never get used to that. "But…I don't want to go!" he whined and hid behind Wolfram again, as Günter passed the hall that was near their training grounds.
"Wolfram? Have you seen Heika?" Günter asked, running up to Wolfram and his Guard.
Wolfram's expression didn't change. "…Can you wait a second over there?" he asked and pointed to the fountain. Günter sent him a weird look but did as he was asked; hoping Wolfram would help him find Yuuri.
Wolfram spun on Yuuri as soon as Günter was no longer visible. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't give you to Günter," he ordered.
Yuuri stood up and started to play with his fingers. "…Um…Because…I'll give you the day off if you do?" Yuuri said, not really sure he had the power to do that since Gwendal was normally the one that handled the soldiers. That, and he wasn't sure Wolfram would want that.
Wolfram looked as if he was considering the answer. "…Hm…Fine Wimp, but next time, I won't hide you," he said with one eye closed and the other watching Yuuri. Wolfram smiled as Yuuri immediately perked up and bounced around excitedly.
Wolfram turned to his troops. "That's enough for today!" he yelled and then gave them a rare, dazzling smile. "You all did excellent today."
Deveron bathed in the warmth that came from such a smile, one that was mostly reserved for Yuuri-heika. He watched Wolfram stalk off, away from the group of them, tailed by Yuuri, probably off to tell Gwendal about Yuuri giving him the day off.
As he did so, he thought about Wolfram's earlier statement, about not hiding Yuuri-heika next time he came to him. Deveron, and every other person that heard it, knew for a fact, that Wolfram had been lying through his teeth.
If Yuuri asked him to do anything, Wolfram would do it. No matter what.

"No."
That was the first thing that came out of Gwendal's mouth when Wolfram explained what happened and that Yuuri had given him the day off.
"Why?" Wolfram stated.
"Because," Gwendal started and glared at them. "You have way too many responsibilities to worry about for you to have a whole day off."
"But I gave him permission. I'm King, doesn't that make it official?" Yuuri pleaded. He had told Wolfram he was going to get a day off and Wolfram was going to get one. Yuuri was determined.
"…" Gwendal had no counter to that, since Yuuri was right. The King's word out votes any other, no matter what. Plus, Gwendal saw how determined Yuuri was. Once he was like that, there was no getting him to change his mind.
Gwendal sighed and said, "Fine," and then he turned to Wolfram. "But due to this, all work that you didn't do today will have to be completed tomorrow, along with that day's work," he ordered.
"Yes brother," Wolfram said simply and bowed slightly. Normally, he would have complained about extra work and just did it today, but Yuuri seemed to want otherwise. He followed Yuuri out of the room and down the hall.
"So, what do you want me to do now? Now that you've gotten me out of my duties, I have nothing else to do," Wolfram said.
Yuuri blinked. He hadn't thought of that. "I don't know…" he trailed off, and then an idea suddenly hit him. "I know now! Let's go on a picnic with Greta!" Yuuri said.
Wolfram smiled brightly at the idea of going out with his family. He had been so busy lately that he hadn't even seen Greta except at dinner."Sure," he said and ran off to find Greta.
XxXxXxXxXxXxxxXxx
Wolfram finally found Greta in the most dreaded place in the castle. She was I Anissina's lab, helping Anissina tinker with some machine thing that Wolfram couldn't identify.
"Greta?" Wolfram asked, staying as far away from the machines as possible. He'd do that to Anissina too if she weren't right next to Greta.
Greta looked up at Wolfram and grinned happily. "Papa Wolf!" she yelled and tackle-hugged Wolfram. Wolfram stumbled a little before he hugged the princess back. He felt a rush of pride at how strong Greta had become since she first got here. Now, if she was still on that whole 'Kill-The-Maou' thing, she could have at least injured him a little—if he'd been by himself, which is unlikely—, compared to back then, when she couldn't even lay a finger on him, whether he was alone or not.
Greta had grown up over the years as well, although her aging was much more apparent than anybody else's. She had grown about a foot taller and her curly hair was now at the small of her back. She had blossomed into a pretty teenage girl and Wolfram felt a stab of grief when he saw how fast Greta was growing, compared to everybody else. Even though he didn't want to think about it, Greta would be long gone by the time Wolfram reached Gwendal's age, perhaps even Conrad's. Wolfram felt tears prick his eyes and he quickly blinked them back. He'd grieve when he time came.
"Papa Wolf? What is it that you want?" Greta asked. Even if she had grown taller, Greta was still shorter than Wolfram. Wolfram looked down at her and said,
"A picnic. You, me, and Yuuri," he said. Greta practically glowed with happiness. She barely ever got to spend time with just one of her Papas nowadays, but now, she got to be with both of them!
"Yay!" she cheered and turned to Anissina. "Did you hear that Anissina-sama?" she asked.
Anissina looked up from her invention, surprised that they finally acknowledged her presence. "Huh? Oh, uh, yes. Yes, I did and I'm happy for you, sweetie," she said half-heartedly. It wasn't like she wasn't really happy—she was, in fact, overjoyed—but Greta had asked when she was engrossed with her invention.
Greta grinned again and went for the door after grabbing Wolfram's hand. "Come on Papa Wolf!" she said excitedly and pulled him out of the room, but not before giving a polite goodbye to Anissina. Anissina barely registered that she was being spoken to.

Yuuri, Wolfram, and Greta were on top of a hill in the fields in between Blood Pledge Castle and Shinou's Temple. Greta had packed a large picnic for the three of them, with the help of the maids.
"This is good," Wolfram said between bites. He was eating a finger sandwich.
Greta beamed. "Thank you! I made that!" she said. Wolfram grinned back.
Yuuri smiled with them and nodded. It had been a while since Yuuri had last seen the two of them so happy, and he was glad that he was the one who came up with the idea to do it.
The three of them ate their picnic, laughing and playing together for the whole rest of the day. The three of them had a wonderful time.
XxXxXxXxXxXxxxXxx
It was dark when the Royal Family finally went back to Blood Pledge Castle. Greta hugged and kissed both of her Papas good night and went to her room, the one right next to Yuuri and Wolfram's.
Yuuri went in to their room and was followed by Wolfram. Yuuri looked up at him when he closed the door and then went back to focusing on finding his bed clothes. Wolfram did the same, but found his much easier.
He walked away from Yuuri and started to undress, just as Yuuri turned around. Yuuri went beet red at seeing a half-undressed Wolfram changing. "W-Wolfram!" he stuttered. "Please change somewhere else!" he said, covering his eyes.
Wolfram clicked his tongue and muttered a quick "Wimp" before stalking into the bathroom, carrying his frilly pink nightgown with him. Yuuri sighed, looked away, and then quickly changed into his own bed clothes. By the time Wolfram came out of the bathroom, Yuuri was already asleep.
Wolfram vaguely wondered what would make the wimp fall asleep so easily. Normally, he at least waited for Wolfram to get in the bed with him, after he had gotten used to Wolfram sleeping with him that is.
Wolfram climbed into the bed, next to Yuuri and swept his hand around the room. Every candle in the room blew out as Wolfram swept his hand in their direction. After he finished that, Wolfram went to sleep.
XxXxXxXxXxXxxxXxx
There Yuuri was, floating in a black darkness, not touching anything except an invisible ground under his feet. Yuuri blinked in surprise. This wasn't like his normal dreams at all. He stood there for a few seconds in the darkness before a light shown in front of him.
A man appeared in the light. And then a second, smaller light appeared and a child came out. Yuuri immediately recognized the man and child to be Wolfram and Greta. Wolfram and Greta had the same smiles on their faces as they'd had earlier that day, causing Yuuri to grin back. He walked forward to try and join them but stopped when their expressions suddenly changed.
Greta was sobbing now, arms covering her eyes in a futile attempt to keep the tears at bay. Wolfram had the same expression on his as when Yuuri had left them 'forever'. He face was a grief-stricken one and he seemed to be crying worse than Greta.
Yuuri froze at the sight of two of his precious people sobbing like that right in front of him. Yuuri tried to walk towards them but even though he was walking towards them, they weren't getting any closer.
Greta and Wolfram were on the ground now, bawling. Greta was shaking in Wolfram's arms as he held her, himself still seeming to be crying worse than Greta. They were talking now but he couldn't make out what they were saying too well, the sobs were covering the words. The only words he could make out were Wolfram's. He heard one sentence.
"Yuuri…Why'd you do that to me?"
Yuuri immediately wondered what Wolfram was talking about and opened his mouth to ask but was stopped by the two light figures to suddenly stop crying and appear again, standing up. They still both looked sad.
"Bye Yuuri."
"Bye Papa Yuuri."
They both said goodbye at the same time. Yuuri was confused. Why were they saying goodbye? Were they going somewhere? Yuuri tried to run up to them again, and once again, he didn't get any closer.
Greta and Wolfram smiled sadly at him and turned away. Yuuri called after them, but they didn't seem to here. Both of them started to walk away, and Yuuri tried to follow, but he still wasn't getting anywhere. "Wolfram! Greta! Come back! Where are you going?!? Greta! WOLFRAM!!!" Yuuri yelled futilely. The lights didn't hear him. They kept walking and walking until all that was left was a speck of light. The two sentence Yuuri heard Wolfram say ran through his head, replaying over and over again.
"Yuuri…Why'd you do that to me?"
"Bye Yuuri."
XxXxXxXxXxXxxxXxx
"No…no…Wolfram…Greta…Don't…Go…" Yuuri muttered in his sleep. It was 2 AM and Yuuri was thrashing violently in the bed. Wolfram woke up after getting smacked in the side three times with Yuuri's foot. As he did, he vaguely wondered if he was like this when he was asleep. He heard from various people that he was a horrible sleeper, including Yuuri. He hoped he wasn't as bad as this.
"Wolfram…Come back…" muttered Yuuri as he continued to thrash in the bed. Wolfram, suddenly on full alert, kneeled on the side of Yuuri. He held the thrashing King down on the bed until he saw Yuuri half-open his eyes.
"…Wolf…ram…?" he asked groggily. Wolfram nodded. And then Yuuri did something unexpected.
Yuuri did a bed and under-the-covers version of a tackle-hug to Wolfram. Yuuri sat up and held Wolfram close while he buried his face into Wolfram's hair and nuzzled there. He was whispering "Wolfram…Don't leave…" repeatedly and occasionally he switched Wolfram's name with Greta but he mostly said Wolfram.
Meanwhile, Wolfram was wide-eyed, blushing, and frozen against Yuuri's chest. Yuuri had never done anything close to this before; he was all against two males being together due to his hometown teaching against it all his life, so Yuuri suddenly pulling him into a tight embrace and nuzzling him was not something Wolfram expected.
Yuuri wasn't even aware of the blond's discomfort. He was still in post-nightmare shock and was coping with it by making sure it was just a dream. He was making sure Wolfram was still here with him, even though he didn't think he'd try and do it this way. He didn't ever think he'd do it this way, in fact, he unconsciously did it. But he had a bad feeling about what would happen if he did. Wolfram might go away again.
Yuuri continued to nuzzle the blond and whisper into his hair. Wolfram's hair smells nice. Yuuri thought. It did, but he couldn't tell what the smell was. He liked it though.
Wolfram, finally realizing this was what he wanted he relaxed and immediately felt himself melt into Yuuri's arms. He felt Yuuri hold him closer and he smiled.
Yuuri had held him so close that he could feel Wolfram's smile. Yuuri felt a wave of panic. Was he supposed to do this? He'd been told all his life this was wrong but it certainly didn't feel that way. If anything, it felt righter than most things he's ever done.
"Yuuri?" Wolfram asked softly. Yuuri heard him since he was so close. Yuuri pulled Wolfram off of him, but only enough for Yuuri to see Wolfram's face. Yuuri gasped.
Wolfram was brighter now than Yuuri had ever seen him. Yuuri could see the blond glowing with happiness. His eyes were warm and so was his voice. "Why'd you do that?" he asked, not sounding the least bit angry, like Yuuri expected.
Yuuri blinked and shook his head. "I…I had a bad dream. You and Greta were leaving me," he said simply. He didn't want to go into detail but he did want to ask Wolfram about that thing he said. What did Yuuri do to Wolfram?
Wolfram, seeing Yuuri's reluctance, took that as an acceptable answer. The two just sat there for a second, staring at each other before Yuuri blushed and looked away. Wolfram's happy aura evaporated and he scowled. Yuuri turned back around and saw he did something to upset the boy again and made a split second decision.
He pulled Wolfram back on his chest and hugged him. Wolfram stiffened again, but Yuuri thought this was a bad thing. He pulled Wolfram away again and looked worriedly at him. "Wolf? I-I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong again?" he panicked.
Wolfram blinked stupidly at him. "Wrong? What'd you do wrong? I'm just not use to…you…being…affectionate…" he said, getting quieter as he got to the end.
Yuuri gained a worried look. "That's because-" he started his explanation but was blocked by Wolfram putting a finger on his lips.
"Yes, yes, I know. You were raised to be against two boys being together," Wolfram said, sadness radiating off of him. Yuuri felt this and his eyes softened. And then as Wolfram got sadder, the image of a sobbing, broken Wolfram appeared in Yuuri's mind. Yuuri's eyes widened.
In his head, he was basically chanting "No, no, no, no". He didn't want to see that ever again.
He grabbed Wolfram and kissed him on the forehead. Yuuri had expected it to be gross, but it was anything but. Wolfram was temporarily stunned. "Yuu…ri?" he said. Yuuri smiled.
"Yes. That's what you want, huh? If it makes you happy, that's what you'll get," Yuuri said firmly. Wolfram blushed and looked down. Yuuri was right.
Wolfram was radiating happiness again, but it was different this time. It was really warm, so warm that he accidently relit the candles in the room. Wolfram smiled at Yuuri in a way that made Yuuri's heart flutter so much he felt himself automatically smiling back, just to keep Wolfram's smile there. Wolfram's eyes were shining brightly and his hair was too. He looked so breathtaking that Yuuri felt the need to look away but didn't want to.
Yuuri automatically wondered why he'd never seen Wolfram this happy before. Sure, Wolfram was normally happyish but not like this. Even when they were with Greta, not like this.
Yuuri just stared at Wolfram for a second and then decided he wanted to make Wolfram this happy all the time.
I want to see his smile.
