"Wolf, I'm sorry. Really. I just can't make it. I've got work to do, I'll see you tomorrow. Alright. Bye" Yuri sighed as he placed his phone(1) back on his desk and turned to address his lovely guest.
"Adrianna, I'm so glad you could make it."
"Darling, I wouldn't have missed seeing you again for the world." She purred as she crept closer.
Yuri smiled in anticipation.
------------
Gisela watched as Wolfram slowly shut his phone and returned it back into his pocket.
"Wolf..?" Gisella asked as she caught a glance of Wolfram's face, "What's wrong?"
"I heard a voice in the background," he said slowly.
"So?"
"It was female, and she was giggling."
"It must've been your mother or something, nothing serious…"
Wolfram nodded, instantly assured. Of course, why didn't he think of that?
Gisela didn't have the heart to tell him that the only females that had access to Yuri's office without a meeting already planned were herself, Cheri-sama, or any of Yuri's personal guests.
------------
"Hey Wolfram," Yuri greeted pleasantly as he breezed into their bedroom that night.
"Yuri."
He thought it was odd that Wolfram greeted him in such a curt manner, but chose not to speak of it. Maybe Wolfram had a bad day or something. He, on the other hand, had a fantastic one.
Meanwhile, Wolfram was taking in Yuri's appearance.
His shirt was rumpled, his hair askew, and there was a faint red mark at the base of his neck. A mark that Wolfram, never gave him, never could give him.
Suddenly, it became very hard to breathe.
Wolfram turned away from his fiancée and went to sleep.
------------
Wolfram was walking to the Courtyard when Yuri and someone else passed.
"Wolfram!" Yuri exclaimed, he didn't think that Wolfram would be wandering around at this time of night.
Wolfram got a glimpse of Yuri's guest as a shaft of moonlight hit her squarely in the face.
It was a girl, a beautiful girl with hazy grey eyes and long auburn hair that cascaded down her back.
It was one of Yuri's personal guests.
The girl peered at Wolfram and then turned back to Yuri.
"This is Wolfram?"
Yuri nodded.
The girl smirked at him deviously, and at that moment Wolfram knew that the girl knew what she was doing. She knew that he was Yuri's fiancé.
"I'm Adrianna." she said in a clearly mocking voice.
Wolfram smiled painfully.
He bade them both farewell, then turned and made his way back to his bedroom.
Wolfram didn't look back as he walked away.
------------
Only minutes after Wolfram entered the bedroom did Yuri stumble in after him.
"Wolf. Listen. She...it's not what it looked like. Really."
A moment passed.
"…Wolf?"
Wolfram finally turned around, that same pained smile plastered on his face.
"It's fine." He said, though they both knew that the situation was far from fine.
Yuri gave a short nod and made his way to the bathroom.
There was nothing left to say.
------------
Gisela watched, unseen by the hallway's two current occupants as they passed each other in a hallway.
"Wolfram, I'm going out, I'll be back before sundown." Yuri called over his shoulder, trying and failing to make it sound like a casual occurrence.
Wolfram nodded absently and continued to walk.
Gisela watched as Yuri made his way out of the hallway before she got Wolfram's attention.
"Wolfram. He's cheating. I wouldn't lie to you Wolf, not about something like this. You need to-need to do something. Wolf-"
Wolfram momentarily turned around and waved his hand around in a vaguely pacifying manner before turning back around.
"Wolfram, you don't understand, he's lying to you!" Gisela shouted desperately as Wolfram began to walk away from her.
She watched as Wolfram took a few more hesitant steps before he stopped and turned around to whisper, "I know."
The words hit her like a punch to the stomach.
"Wolfram," she tried to whisper, but the words got lost in her throat. She continued to watch him helplessly as he walked away and eventually left her range of vision. She closed her eyes and tried to push away the oncoming onslaught of tears. It wasn't fair.
He deserved better, so much better.
Her passionate friend was slowly drifting away from her, from everyone and it was all his fault.
Shibuya Yuri, the Maou, or as she now fondly referred to him: that asshole.
------------
The lies were better, Wolfram decided as he walked away from Gisela.
He'd prefer being lied to than getting his heart broken.
His relationship (if it even deserved to be called that) was doomed from the beginning, and, quite frankly, it didn't surprise him that it was pretty much over.
But, regardless of the truth Wolfram was more than willing to keep putting up false pretenses. His heart, or what was left of it, couldn't take another rejection. Now, the only thing that kept him going was that faint hope that things would change.

A/N- Hello there readers, I do believe that this is my first story on that isn't a one-shot. I'm so very proud of myself. But yeah, this is going to be a multi-chaptered fic assuming that I get around to updating it…
Also, this was sporadically written at 11 at night, I don't have a beta, and grammar is not my strong point. At all.
What I'm trying to get at is that this thing is probably littered with grammar mistakes. So please, if you find one tell me.
Show some love and review!
