K, this has not been beta-ed.
This is a Conrad/Yuuri paring, and Wolfram will hardly be in it. M in later chapters.
I do not own Kyou Kara Maou or any of its characters, I make no money off of this story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a normal day in Blood Pluge Castle, sun was shining, and Yuuri was sound asleep in his bed. Now that his engagement with Wolfram was off he didn't have to worry about being kicked, punched, or physically bombarded out of bed in the mornings anymore. Although Yuuri now 19 has never found a love for Wolfram, who had always loved him, he has found a love for someone else. It is a very deep secretive love that only Wolfram knows, Yuuri being a caring person had let Wolfram know why he had broken up with him. For as bratty as the young prince is, he has his pride and understanding which are rarely seen but he knows the young king would never purposly hurt him.
------------------------------------------
Conrad was always the first out of bed in the castle, he prefered this time, it gave him time to think without any disurbinces. As he got up this morning his mind was racing with thoughts, he was embarresed that it also had shown on his face, his nearly unchallengable mask did not normaly come off but it was hard to do in the mornings. He learnt this through his brothers when he was a kid, so he is always first to rise. As his head swam with his private thoughts he got up and dressed, once his sword was attached, and his uniform on properly he decided to wake his king for his morning training.
"Yuuri..." no answer, "Heika? It's time for your morning training."
Yawn, " Don't call me Heika, your the one who named me after all."
"Yes Yuuri, please get ready for your training. I will wait in the hallway while you change."
Conrad went out to the hall, but wished he was aloud to stay, the young king was now older, more muscular, and no longer had to transform as he could control his powers. All this made the young man all the more appealing. When Yuuri had just come to the castle he was a giddy, clutsy kid. At that point Conrad saw no emotion other than love, but it was always more in a brotherly way, when Yuuri had propsed to Wolfram, he was shocked but happy for them, there relationship had escalated, and he knew they had been 'together', but it didn't last. It was a sad day in Conrads mind, and in the kingdom, when Yuuri and Wolfram had annouced the breaking of their engagement, but it had also sprung to life a small hope in Conrad that he didn't think was possible. What if Yuuri one day would love him? This hope made him realise that he loved the young king much more than in a brotherly way but didn't realise it until now.
------------------------------------------
Something seemed odd in Yuuri's mind, Conrad had his usual smile on but Yuuri who has always been good at reading people could see something was different with Conrad. It seemed like there was something he wanted to say, but was just not ready. He finished getting dressed and went to meet Conrad in the hall.
"Conrad is something bugging you?"
"Why would you say that Heika, sorry, Yuuri?"
"It just seems like there is something on your mind is all, if you don't want to talk about it thats fine though."
"Don't worry Yuuri, I'm alright."
Yuuri was not sure what to think, Conrad never kept secrets from him but he decided not to push it. Besides he didn't want to run his mouth to much around Conrad, he had to be careful of that lately. His mind went back to his conversation with Wolfram...
"Wolfram, I think we need to talk...
"Yuuri, are you cheating on me, you wimp!"
"No no, and don't call me a wimp. It's just we've been engaged for three years, and we have been 'together' in that sence as well. I know you love me, and I loved you too, but I told you then, I'm still young and you have to know it might not last. We've been growing apart, I'm sure you've noticed it aswell..."
"Yes, I have," Wolfram now sure what is about to happen sighs, "Yuuri, I know what's coming and I've been expecting it for a while, just tell me two things please!"
"Anything Wolf," Yuuri sighs as well, "I think I know what they are."
"Yuuri, did you ever really love me?"
"I did, with all my heart, but somethings are not meant to last, and I still want you by my side but as my friend, because your amazing, but I see you best as a friend." Yuuri is now almost in tears from the look he now sees in Wolfram's eyes, "Wolfram," he asks timidly, "what is the other thing?"
"Yuuri, is there someone else?" Wolfram's eyes are brimming with tears as he says this. Yuuri is ashamed of him self at his answer.
"Yes, Wolfram, I do love someone else, but trust me please, it was never meant to hurt you, and it happend after we started to fall apart. I loved you and am honest to my word, I swear that to you Wolf."
"Is it Weller?" He is starting to regain his composure, but his heart is broken on the inside as he realizes this is the best thing for Yuuri, and the kingdom, and he is happy that Yuuri has been honest with him thusfar.
"Yes, it is Conrad." Yuuri then grabbed Wolfram and pulled him into a hug, he kissed him tenderly one last time on the lips. A final goodbye kiss, Wolfram at this responds but knows that it will be the last so he does not push it.
"I'll always love you, but I am still happy for you."
As Yuuri comes back to reality he realizes there already in the outter courtyard, and Conrad is giving him a strange look.
"Yuuri, are you alright?"
"Yes, just remembering a dream from last night." Which quickly ended the conversation.
-------------------------------------------
There training session, had ended and both Yuuri and Conrad were headed for their separate baths to clean up before breakfast, as Conrad entered the room he could tell that he was not alone.
"Hello, anyone else in here?" No responce came so he decided to have his bath and relax for a bit anyway. He undressed and got into the steamy water of the pool sized bath tub, when he saw someone through the steam on the other side, he casualy swam his way from the wall in the shallow water to the other side like he had not noticed the other person he was sharing his bath with, although he had a good idea of who it was, and he reached the other side he sunk to the bottom and slowly made his way to the other person hiding in the mist. As he came up he grabbed them and pulled them into the deeper water.
"Hey Conrad what are you doing?" Said the other person, now properly identifide as the young king Yuuri, pulled himself out of the deep water.
"I should be asking you the same question Yuuri," Conrad said with a wink, "Why are you not in the maou's private bath?"
"There was somthing I wanted to talk to you about, and other than my training I don't get to spend anytime alone to talk with you. I didn't want to do it when training, I'm skilled and now have the maou's powers under control but I still need to spend that time dedicated to my sword training."
"I'm glad to see you taking your training seriously, but still couldn't you have choosen a better place than the bath to bring something like this up? I mean not to point out the obvious, but we are both naked." Conrad chuckles marrily at Yuuri as he says this. It's not like they havent bathed together before, but it was never in a sexual way, and besides, its fun to make jokes.
"I suppose I might have been able to find somewhere more suitable... haha" Yuuri hadn't thought through that seeing Conrad naked would have this affect on him, he was trying hard to keep himself in check.
"I thought you would say that." Conrad was trying hard not to look at the young frame of his king, and the object of his desires and thoughts. "We should get cleaned up, we are expected at breakfast soon, I'm sure we can find some time to talk this afternoon."
"Yes, I'll ask Gunter to let me out of lesson's early today."
As Yuuri has gotten older he has also gotten more patient with his lessons so he should have no problems getting out early.
