So this is my 3rd KKM fic (I think...). This by far I believe ia the best one yet (I hope everyone that reads it likes it.) I really didn't edit this much but I read it, reread it so many times I almost memorised the whole thing and it's long. It's not a one-shot like I had planned... O-chan is the one to blame for that. There are parts that the characters are OC but not alot and not often I think.
Dedication: I'm dedicate this fic to three people. My best friends YaoiOkami(O-chan and the one who came up with the title), Rabbit Usagi-chan and my little Neko(who I couldn't find anywhere in this site...). I love you guys and I miss you so much!!
Disclaimer: I do not and will probably never ever own KKM. If I did... gosh you don't wanna know!! Lol.
I walked into my room just to find a paper on my bed. I picked it up and read it rather quickly. The only thing I did was place the paper in my desk and acted like nothing was wrong yet my world was falling to the ground, vanishing in front of my eyes. I walked out of the room again and went on with my duties for the day knowing that the engagement was over.
Patrolling around the castle, training and sparing against my soldiers was something that took a bit of energy out me but right now I just felt like lying on the bed and falling asleep but I still had to take a shower and face dinner. The shower was peaceful and relaxing... and dinner was a total opposite. She was sitting next to him and the look on her face did nothing to help most of us eat dinner since he had just proposed to her. The tension was thick but everyone chose to ignore it, since there was nothing anyone could do.
--A month later--
I am feed up with that selfish, arrogant, hypocrite women. Everyone even Greta saw the fake 'lady' facade she put up, yet he is as dense and blind as ever. She has only being here for about a month and everyone is sick of her. Günter, Gwendal, Conrad, Yozak, Shori, myself and even Greta have not being about to be near Yuuri for a few minutes since she got here since because she gets jealous of even Greta and Shori. Greta now comes to me to do everything... play, go out into the market, talk... Günter has had many moments in which no one can calm him down. Gwendal, Conrad, Yozak, Shori, and I are worried about the wimp but he won't listen or rather she does not let him listen.
"Hey you!" I turned trying to figure out who called whom with so little respect until my eyes meet with dark brown eyes... she had called... me?
"I do not know why you are standing there but go and get me something to drink"
I stared at her for a minute before laughing, "I am a soldier not a maid," I answered clearly
"So? How does that matter? I think that you are forgetting that I am the fiancée of the Maou"
"No I have not forgotten"
"Great now get to it!!"
"No"
"What?"
"I said no"
"But... I-I am going to tell my fiancé!!"
"Tell Heika... "
"Look I know you were Yuuri's fiancé but now I am so be a good boy and do what I told you!"
"I already said no... I am tired of you. If you do not know this but all of us are here to help the Maou but that does not mean that we have to obey every little one of your desires"
"So you are not going to do it?"
"I am not"
"Fine then" she said and walked away into the castle probably to tell the wimp.
"Come out Conrad" I said sighting and turning towards a bush.
"You were a bit harsh don't you think?"
"No brother she needs to learn her place in this castle"
"But Wolfram-"
"Conrad don't worry but now I must go talk to Gwendal"
"Be careful in your decision and journey"
"How did you-?"
"Intuition"
Wolfram nodded
"Are you taking the princess?"
"I do not know, I still have to ask Gwendal about it and talk to Greta and Yuuri"
"I do not think talking to Yuuri will be a good idea"
"It does not matter I have to go" I walked away from Conrad and went to look for Greta.
After looking around the castle, I found Greta playing in one of the gardens. I asked her to come with me to her room because I wanted to discuss something with her.
"Do you understand?" I asked Greta who was sitting my lap while I was sitting on the bed
"Yes"
"I want you to think about it Greta and tell me what do you think is the best for you"
"But Greta loves Yuuri and you the same"
"I know..."
"I will think about it Papa"
"Good now I have to talk to Gwendal"
I got away from Greta and the rest of the castle in a clearing that wasn't too far from the castle before I went to talk to Gwendal.
"I- Are you sure Wolfram?" Gwendal asked looking doubtfully at me.
"Yes I need to leave besides she just went to talk to Yuuri about a little incident" I answered giving him a serious look
"Wolfram please be careful"
"Yeah brother don't worry so much"
"Are you taking Greta?"
"I don't know she is going to decide that"
"Okay now I just wish you the best of luck brother"
"Thank you"
Finally, after the talk with Gwendal I was ready to leave. A few soldiers were going with me since it was still a mission and we would return in a few months.
"Greta it's okay really," I said as I pulled the ten year old into my arms and hugged her while trying to comfort her.
"But I-I do not want you to leave!"
"Greta I cannot live here with the wimp and his new fiancée I am sorry Greta but I promise I'll visit and come and take you for a few months with me okay?"
"Alright Papa, but write to me everyday okay?"
"Of course Greta but I want you to be careful with the wimp's fiancée you know how she is..."
"Yeah I'll be careful"
"Good... I am going to miss you"
"Me too Papa"
"I should get going"
"You are not going to tell Daddy?"
"No... Even if I wanted she is in the way besides I think he may be mad at me"
"Oh"
"Bye Greta. I'll see you in a few months alright?"
"Yeah!" Greta cheered and let go of Wolfram
I placed a kiss on Greta's forehead and now it was time for me to leave. Günter, Gwendal, Conrad, Yozak, Shori, the maids, some soldiers and Greta were there to say bye. It felt weird but... I nodded towards Gwendal, Conrad, and Yozak to which they nodded back. After that, I just smiled at Greta and told Günter, the maids, and Shori to look after Greta to which they agreed. Finally, I left the castle and started towards my destination.
The ride was longer than we thought but it was okay. We trained for a while and set up our camp for the night. We found a lake and took a bath there. The horses were resting and that is what we all did since we still had a long way to travel.
--
It has being around 7 to 8 months since the soldiers and me left the castle and today we were going back since the mission that Gwendal gave us is over. I had written to Greta about my returned and she seems excited about it. I cannot wait to see her again... but this time she is going with me for a few months since I am not going to live in the castle anymore. Greta had tried to tell me about Heika but I told her that I did not want to know. Gwendal, in a letter, told me that he wanted us home as soon as possible, because of something to do with the security of the castle. We are only a few hours from the castle and we are not going to stop until we get there.
Entering the castle was awkward... everyone turned to look at us and were surprised. They were just standing and stared, which was getting me annoyed. We left the horses in their place and I dismissed the soldiers since I had to go to Gwendal and give him the report of the mission. When I entered Gwendal's office, he stared at me too.
"Stop it"
"Wolfram how was the mission?" he asked changing the subject quickly
"It was fine none of my soldiers were injured too badly and..."
I gave Gwendal all the details of the mission and he seemed calm. He dismissed me after talking to me a little more, and I was now looking for-
"Greta!"
I saw her turn around fast and stared at me for a second before she ran towards me calling my name. "Papa!" she said with a laugh as she jumped into my arms and I tighten my hold on her.
"Hi Greta"
"You're back!!" It amazed me that even before I left she sounded so much like Yuuri.
"I promised didn't I?"
"Yes"
I talked to her about what she had done while I was gone and she told me everything. I learned from her that my mother had being in the castle a few months ago, that the wimp and Greta had gone to earth a few days, and every since little thing that Greta considered an adventure. We talked under a tree in the garden until she was falling asleep. With that, I picked her up and took her to her room.
"Greta?"
"Yes?" came the sleepy reply
"Is your room the same one as before?"
She nodded before falling asleep completely. I placed her in the bed, tucked her in and watched her for a few minutes then I, myself, felt how tired I was and smiled. I walked out of the room but stopped since I almost ran into him in the hallway.
"Wolfram?" he looked surprised, but content
"Heika"
"When did you get here?"
"Today"
"Today?"
"Yeah"
"Oh..."
"Excuse me Heika I am kind of tired"
"Can we talk?"
"I do not know can we? I don't want you to have problems with your fiancée"
"I- I don't have a fiancée Wolf"
"Oh so did you marry her already?"
"No"
"Fine about what do you want to talk?"
"Why did you leave?"
"I had a mission"
"How did it go?" he asked me as we neared the gardens.
"It went fine"
"I am glad... Greta missed you"
"I know," I answered as I sat on one of the benches
"Everyone did..."
"..."
"..."
"Where is she?"
"She is long gone she... she betrayed me"
Wolfram looked at him for a few seconds and turned away "Sorry to hear that"
"It was better that I found out now before I married her"
"That is true"
"So... I wanted to say sorry"
"Why?"
"Because she was a real jerk to everyone and Conrad told me that she was worst with you since you were my fiancé"
"I am going to have to talk to Conrad... It isn't your fault that you are a dense and blind wimp"
"Wolfram... I found out about a month after you left. She was just with me because of all the things she could gain..."
"We warned you about that Heika... "
"I know you did but Wolf it hurt..."
"Time heals everything"
"That's what Conrad said"
"It is true"
"But what surprised me what that I got over her quickly"
"I guess that was good besides you did not have much time to think about her did you? With your duties and all..."
"Yeah... you changed Wolf"
"Not a lot"
"True but your hair is longer, you look so different yet the same... and you even sound different... like wiser."
"My hair that is just a physical change and I don't seem to find this changes you talk about too striking."
"Are you here to stay or are you going in another mission?"
"Neither"
"Huh?"
"I am going to take a break from the Demon Kingdom" I said with a smile
"What do you mean?"
"My father wrote to my mother and he wants me to return to the von Bielefelt lands to take care of its army"
"What?"
"I know it surprised me even more but I am going back tomorrow and I am taking Greta with me"
"What?!"
"I am taking her for a few months and then bringing her back. Maybe for 4 or 5 months it is not a long time"
"Bu-But what about your soldiers here?"
"Gwendal and Conrad are going to take care of them, besides Gwendal and you have already signed the papers"
"I did not sign them!"
"I guess you sign them without reading them because Gwendal gave me the papers with your signature today"
"I- Do you have to go?"
I nodded "I am following orders from you, Gwendal and my father"
"But Wolf I don't want Greta or you to leave"
"Greta will come back as soon as she can but I want to spend some time with her after this mission I just came back from"
"And you?"
"I will bring Greta back"
"So you won't be gone for long?!"
"I will go back. I will just come to make sure Greta gets here safely"
"But Wolfram I want you here in this castle with Greta and me"
"Heika I should get some rest, tomorrow is my travel and it is going to be long"
"It's about the fourth time you call me by my title"
"So?"
"Stop calling me that!"
"My duty calls for me to refer to you with your title, Heika"
"It sounds wrong"
"You are just used to me calling you by your name but you will get used to me calling you Heika so do not think of it much"
"I don't want you to call me that Wolf"
"Doesn't matter Heika but if you'll excuse me I have to-"
"Wolf don't go... I mean you just got back and I want to tell you something"
"Can it wait until I come back?"
"It can but I don't want it to wait"
"Well, tell me now so I can leave"
"Wolf I- I want to tell you that I missed you and... I-your mom wanted to know-"
"I already know that and Gwendal has the answer for my mother... you told me so now I must leave... see you in a few months Heika" with that Wolfram started to walk away towards his room. However, he did not miss what Yuuri whispered as he walked away but he did chose to ignore it.
"I love you Wolf..."
I got to my room, the last words Yuuri whispered clear in my head, but I was too tired to really think about it. I just changed, got in bed and fell asleep instantly.
--The next morning--
I woke up early and started my morning routine. Finally after fixing myself I went to see Greta and saw that she was also awake and ready. I smiled, kissed her forehead and told her that we would leave soon so she should say bye to the wimp and with that she ran out of the room looking for Yuuri. I saw Greta after about five minutes walking towards the carriage as she talked to Gwendal. Finally, the soldiers and I were ready and everything was in place as Greta went into the carriage. It only took me a second, after the door of the carriage closed, to give the order to move out. Slowly, we started to move and cross the training area but as we were about to cross the gate a "Stop!!" made everyone turn towards the scream and stop. The wimp was running towards us trying to button his jacket and barefooted.
"Greta is in the carriage Heika" I said as he neared us
"Yeah I know but I want to talk to you" he answered panting
"Heika the soldiers and I should be in our way and-"
"I don't care! You will talk to me and that's an order!!"
I looked away from him thinking about what I could do, seeing no other option I started to get down from my horse and walked towards him. "Make it quick or we are going to be running late..."
He took my hand and started to drag me into the castle. We ended up in the study and we both sat down but he seemed nervous.
"I don't want Greta to go..."
"What?"
"I don't think Greta should go"
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"Because I..."
"She is my daughter too"
"Yeah I know but I mean she is safe here and you can spend time with her here..."
"But I thought you have already agreed it to this?"
"Yeah I did but I changed my mind"
"Maybe you are right after all... I do not want something bad to happen to her..."
"Yeah so umm... maybe you and Greta should just stay here and-"
"Fine she will stay but if she gets mad it is your fault"
"Alright"
"Okay so now if you will excuse me Heika"
"But... you aren't leaving right?"
"Yes, I am"
"But Greta and you wanted to-"
"I do want to spend time with her but it is for her safety and I still have to obey orders"
"But you can't leave..."
"Why?"
"Because..."
"Heika let's not waste anymore time okay?"
"Wolfram von Bielefelt you can't leave this castle"
"Why?"
"Because... I don't want you too."
"I have a duty to my father, Heika"
"Yeah but you also have a duty to me as your king and future husband..."
"Yeah well- wait my future what?"
"Husband"
"Are you feeling okay Heika?"
"Yeah"
I looked around and headed to the door but I was stopped
"Where are you going Wolf?"
"To get Gisela"
"Why?"
"Because you do not seem well"
"Wolf I'm fine"
"Well then if you are fine you must remember that we are not engaged anymore"
"I know but we can be if you want to..."
"WHAT? What are you talking about?"
"Wolf I wouldn't mind being engaged to you again"
"But I would so let's just forget what you just said and-"
"No"
"What are you playing at Heika?" Wolfram asked as he reached into his pant pocket and pulled two scrolls out and placed them on Yuuri's desk.
"Nothing" answered Yuuri taking both scrolls and opening them.
"Then why are you being so different?"
"Because I have changed"
"And what does that have to do with anything?"
"I have changed who I am and what I believe"
"As I said before how does that-"
"I can say and I know how I feel"
"And?"
"I want you near me"
"Look Heika let's get this cleared up I don't know what are you trying to say and I don't really care"
"Wolf..."
"Heika there are two official papers: one is the orders to go to my father's lands and the other one is the end of our engagement"
"So those papers mean nothing to me"
"But they mean something to the rest of the kingdom and me"
"Wolf I don't care about the rest of the kingdom"
"Well I do and you did before! You're argument before was about the rest and what they would think so why change now?"
"Because I changed my mind"
"I'm not something that belongs to you and that you can have whenever you feel like it"
"I'm not saying that you are"
"Well then what are you saying?"
"I'm saying that I-I Wolf I"
"That's it Yuuri you have had more than enough time, I give up! I want nothing to do with you, I don't care what you do, say, or think. I'm tired of dealing with you. I'm leaving whether you like it or not!"
"Wolf please I want you near me"
"No you don't, you never have and you never will!"
"Yes I do Wolf! You don't know how I feel"
"And do you know how I felt? Do you know how I felt every time you pushed me away? Every time you looked at another woman with that look of caring in your eyes? Every time you pushed me away or made me less to talk with those women? Every time you said, literally screamed, at the kingdom how little I meant to you?"
"No but Wolf-"
"Let it go Yuuri I'm not going through that again you had so many chances... Why should I give more? Why should I try? Just let me leave!" I said leaving the study and into the hallway
"Wolf! Don't!!" I heard him say as he neared the hallway "Wolfram von Bielefelt! Come back here and that's an order!" he shouted as he finally reached the hallway and tried to catch up with me
"Sorry Heika" I said turning to look at him in the eyes "I can't obey that order" I said before turning away and started to walk again.
"Wolf..." he murmured
I didn't stop again until I reached the training area. "No one is going with me; my father wants me and everyone is to stay here in the castle" I screamed nearing my horse. I took the ropes of my horse and was ready to climb but someone turned me around. I heard gasps and a few giggles as a gasp left my own lips and my eyes widen.
Yuuri's dark eyes stared into my surprised ones as his lips moved shyly against mine in front of everyone. In his eyes, I saw sadness, confusion, pain, loneliness, and something else I didn't recognize. They also seem to scream 'I thought that I was the wimp... the one that always ran away.'
As I saw his eyes begging me to stay, I remembered what he had whispered to me last night.
'I love you Wolf...'
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I don't want you to leave, because I love you..."
"Why do care all of the sudden Heika? You never cared but now that I realized it... you magically feel something towards me?"
"No Wolfram I-"
"I already told you I'm not some toy that you can use whenever you feel like or not am I someone that you can just come to for comfort. You know that I have always being truthful to you and Yuuri this is just too much."
"Listen to me Wolfram! I am not using you as some kind of toy nor do I want your comfort. I want to be with you as my friend and fiancé understand?"
"No, I don't understand! Why did you change your mind? Why me? Why now? I was ready to give you up and try to love someone else!"
"Wolfram... Please?"
"Please? Please what? You want me to erase all of the memories I have of your behavior? You want me to think that because I left the castle you now fell in love with me somehow? That is not possible Yuuri!" I said looking away from him crossing my arms. "I want nothing to do with you..." I whispered as I felt my whole body shake.
"You don't mean that Wolf! Do you?"
"I do Yuuri... I- You have hurt me more than enough. I know that you and I are meant to be friends and that is all. Good luck with the kingdom" I said as I climbed my horse. "Take care of the castle and Greta" I said with a small smile directed to him. "Goodbye..." I said before starting to leave, my horse running at full speed. Before I was out of the gates, I heard Yuuri screaming at me to come back, to not leave. I turned to look at him... tears were running down his cheeks before falling to the ground. I smiled at him again and shook my head as I headed out of the castle and into my new duties and new life away from the people I loved the most.
Well this is the end that I had originally planned. That's all I'm going post for right now. I will post later if asked to but we'll see it all depends on the reviews that I get if I get any... If anyone sees any mistakes please tell me!! Bye!!
