I have always loved listening to music. A few days ago I was listening to Owl City's The Saltwater Room and it inspired me to write this. There is a little OOC-ness, but not unbearable (I hope)

I do not own KKM or any of the songs by Owl City or whatever bands I may use for these stories in the future. I just like using my imagination to merge them together!

I really want and need your reviews. Let me know what you think so I know whether or not to write more like this. Thank you to all who read my stories. You're the best!


(I don't really have a title...so we'll just say it's called The Beach, and it was inspired by the song Saltwater Room by Owl City.)

The Beach

Yuuri smiled as he watched his fiancé from the balcony. Wolfram was walking silently along the beach, the water nearly touching him every time the tides came near. The blonde had just finished training his soldiers on how to maintain balance in the sandy environment, and was now enjoying some alone time while the sun was setting.

Yuuri had been watching from above for a while now and was debating on whether or not to join him for a walk. The young king nodded to himself as he made his decision, he turned his back to the outdoors and began to walk towards the exit of the castle.

The whole group had chosen to spend some time in the summer home near the edge of the demon kingdom. Shin Makoku had become silent over the past few months and Annisuna decided that they all needed to get away for a while. Either that or she would be forced to try her new Mr. Bring-The-Beach-Into-The-Castle invention. Needless to say, they chose to go to the summer home.

Yuuri smiled as he approached the blonde who was looking up at the empty sky. He was now sitting near the shoreline just out of the water's reach. The young king watched his fiancé for a while longer from a distance, hoping he would not be heard. The two stayed there for a few minutes, Wolfram unaware that the other was so close. The young prince seemed to be thinking about something, but Yuuri couldn't tell what it was.

The blonde shivered and was about to stand up when he heard footsteps behind him. His body tensed at first, but relaxed when he recognized Yuuri's voice.

"Hey Wolf…What are you doing?"

Wolfram shrugged and continued staring out towards the horizon. Yuuri sat down next to him and noticed when Wolfram shivered again. The air around them was cool as the sun descended. It was a pleasant contrast to the heat during the day.

Yuuri smiled and removed his jacket, placing it around his fiancé's shoulders. Wolfram protested, but eventually gave in, pulling the dark fabric closer to silently inhale the scent of his fiancé. The blonde smiled to himself, the two had been getting along much better in the last few months. Wolf tried to hold his tongue when he was angry, and Yuuri had decided to give their relationship a try.

The water threatened to touch them as the sun began to set. The tide was coming in, but the two weren't ready to separate yet. Yuuri began looking around them and after a moment he found what he had been searching the shoreline for. The young king stood up and walked over to the large seashell and picked it up, he then returned to his place next to Wolfram who eyed it curiously.

"This is your first time near the ocean right Wolf?" Yuuri asked him, examining the conch shell and then handing it over to the blonde with a smile. Wolfram nodded his reply and tossed the conch from hand to hand before putting it inside of his uniform pocket and thanking Yuuri for the gift.

"My mother comes here every summer, but I have never liked the water, so I always stayed behind. I'm surprised…I actually like this."

"I used to go to the beach a lot on earth. It's fun." Yuuri stated watching the last bit of the sun disappearing over the horizon. The water glistened, then went dark.

"It's cold…" Yuuri shivered wearing only his undershirt, he wrapped his arms around himself and rested his head on his knees. Wolfram sighed and threw the jacket back at his fiancé who fell sideways into the sand laughing lightly.

"Then why did you take your jacket off you wimp?" The blonde asked sharply. Yuuri shrugged and pulled the jacket on, then scooted closer to Wolfram and leaned against him for warmth.

"Because you were cold." The king answered simply. The blonde smiled again to himself and leaned into him. Time froze there for the two boys. For the first time in a while, nothing had to be said. They just watched the water together in silence for what seemed like hours. Neither wanted that moment to end.

Yuuri blinked as he felt a tug on his shoe, he looked down and saw nothing but the water that was now touching it. Wolfram looked over to Yuuri just in time to see him being pulled away. Oh no…not now! Yuuri thought as he was pulled into the icy water and thrown into his bathtub on earth.

ARGH!! Why now? Why during such a great moment! I just wanted to have one evening alone with Wolfram…Why does this always happen when I'm about to relax for a while? He got up and grabbed a towel from the rack to dry off.

"Yuu-chan!" Miko squealed as she knocked on the bathroom door. "Did I hear you in there just now?"

"Yeah mom. I'm back." Yuuri said trying to sound happy to be back.

"Yuu-chan, it's mama!" She retorted in mock hurt. Yuuri rolled his eyes and walked out of the bathroom and into her arms which were open wide in expectance. After their hug, Miko went to the kitchen, and Yuuri went to his room to change into dry clothes.

He ate dinner with his family and then went to his room for bed. He walked over to his window and looked out at the moon and stars. All that Yuuri could think about was Wolfram, and how he had left him there on the beach alone.

He is probably pissed that I left right in the middle of the most romantic situation we've had together so far. We've been getting along so much better recently…I really wanted to give this a shot. I really liked sitting there with him on the shore. I wonder what he is doing now…if he is thinking about me.


Wolfram stared out of his balcony with his arms crossed. How dare he leave me alone on the beach! How could he possibly need to go to earth at a time like this? Darn it Yuuri what were you thinking? He climbed up onto the railing, sat down, and stared up at the moon. What are you doing there? Are you thinking about me? Why do you always have to go? Is this place not home enough for you Yuuri? Wolfram sighed. Our time together…it's just never enough.


Yuuri turned and slowly got into his bed pulling the blankets up to his chin. He sighed as his looked at his ceiling. Usually there would be a weight beside him in the bed, a warmth that never faded during the cold nights. I wish Wolfram were here…Yuuri thought to himself. I miss him Wolfram and I are alone…I've never felt as safe…as at home.


Wolfram pulled the shell out of his pocket and examined it, he smiled as he remember Yuuri giving it to him. I'll keep this forever Yuuri. As a reminder of this night. We were so close, It felt like you might end up really falling for me. You promised to give this a try…what will it take to make or break this…this small hint to what I hope will someday be love.


Yuuri turned to his side and stared out the window. I promised to try a relationship with Wolf, and just when I believe it might work…I get yanked away from it all. Don't think that my leaving means I am done with trying Wolfram. When I get back I'll show you that I am committed to my promise. Believe it or not, I do want to make 'us' work. I just need time…Don't give up on me yet…only a little more time.


The blonde put the conch on his nightstand and climbed into the bed. When we are apart Yuuri…Do you think of me? What are you thinking of right now? It…It couldn't be me.


The young king looked around his room. Is this really my home? When I first got to The Great Demon Kingdom…I thought it was a dream. The more time I spend here…the more I feel like I belong there, and that this place is really a dream. My family is here though…I could never leave this place without regretting it. I would miss my family too much. Even still…if this place is what I call home…Why do I feel so alone? Yuuri curled into a ball and closed his eyes.

It was a restless night for both boys that night…


The sun pierced through Wolfram's window and he pulled the sheets over his eyes grumpily. Ugh…Why does the sun have to be so bright? The blonde rolled over and hid his face from the brightness. Will Yuuri return today? Wolfram thought to himself. He sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes as they adjusted. We only have a week left here…I hope he doesn't miss the rest of our getaway. He forced himself up and out of the bed, knowing he would have to start his training soon. He got dressed quickly and went to eat breakfast with the others.

"Yuu-chan!" Yuuri's mother called as she burst into her son's room. He jumped up at his name and fell out of the bed.

"Mom! What is it?" Yuuri said standing up quickly and almost fell over again from not quite being awake. She just smiled at him.

"Breakfast is ready Yuu-chan! If you don't get up quickly it will get cold!" She turned swiftly and walked out of the room. "…and it's momma Yuu-chan!"

Yuuri stood up and got dressed to meet his overly dramatic family for breakfast. I wonder how soon I can return…I don't want to miss the rest of the vacation…I still want to sit on the beach with Wolfram again.

Damn it Yuuri, It's been two days! Where are you? There isn't much time left. Wolfram thought to himself as he walked along the shore again hoping that Yuuri would somehow appear. He scanned the water for hours looking for the double black, eventually sitting on a rock and putting his forehead on his knees. He sat there for a while longer, then gave up and walked back into the summer home. The rest of the day's activities went by in a blur for him.

The sun was setting again, and Wolfram was leaning against the balcony railing in his room that he normally shared with Yuuri. Although the blonde knew that his fiancé was trying to make their relationship work, he still wasn't certain that Yuuri could ever love him in the way that he loved Yuuri. Wolfram closed his eyes as a breeze rustled his hair.

"Yuuri…Do you ever wish we'd fall in love?" Wolfram asked the breeze as if somehow it would carry his voice to his fiancé. He almost screamed when he felt arms around his waist. He tried to turn around to see who it was, but his captor held strong. The blonde blinked when he heard the words he has always wanted to hear. A tear slid down his porcelain skin when he recognized Yuuri's voice.

"All the time."

Maybe this relationship would work after all…

The End.

Please review! I really want to know what you think!
