Hello, everyone! I hope you enjoy this three-shot that I've finally gotten around to finishing up. The next part will be posted tomorrow! Please review and tell me what you think. :)

Day 1

"Your Majesty!" a voice came through his door with a knock, "It's time to go for our run now."

Yuuri groans into his pillow before responding, "Alright, Conrad! And I told you to call me Yuuri!"

A chuckle through the door was his answer, "Yes, Yuuri."

Yuuri sighs as he gets out of his bed. He goes over to his drawers to get out his black clothes to get ready for the day.

Today was the day.

He was finally going to end his engagement with Wolfram.

He knows this is something he probably should have done a long time ago, but he just couldn't seem to bring himself to do it.

But he's going to do it now and it really has been a long time coming. He really wanted to avoid hurting Wolfram at all costs, but he still needs to end things otherwise neither of them will ever be able to move on with their lives. It's been three years already! He's avoided it long enough...

Yuuri shakes his head of the thoughts before heading out the door of his room to meet Conrad.

"Alright, let's go," Yuuri says as he opens the door of his room to find Conrad standing there waiting for him.

Just like every morning.

"You have a busy day today, Your Majesty. After our run, Gwendal has papers for you to sign, at noon you have a meeting with the nobles, and then you have lessons with Gunter. Also, there is a ball tonight, Your Majesty. Mother insisted."

Yuuri groaned inwardly. Why him?

And a ball? He hates balls! He doesn't even know how to dance...

Conrad chuckles, "I know, Your Majesty, but you'll be fine."

Yuuri mock scowls at him, "Thanks for the reassurance. And how many times do I have to tell you? My name is Yuuri. Yuu-ri. It's not that difficult. You named me after all."

"Sorry, Yuuri. Yes, I remember," Conrad tells him with a small smile."

Yuuri rolls his eyes, but before he could respond he heard a loud crash in the adjacent hallway to them. Yuuri frowns and his eyes widen in surprise at the sound, and then he runs over to the sound and finds Lasagna, one of the maids, on the floor surrounded by broken plates and bowls.

"Lasagna! Are you all right?" Yuuri asks in concern as he kneels down to help her clean up parts of broken glass.

"Your Majesty! Oh, I'm so sorry for my clumsiness. I'm fine, thank you...Your Majesty, don't touch it! You might-!"

"Ouch!" Yuuri quickly removes his hand from the glass and finds it bleeding.

"Your Majesty!" Conrad yells as he runs over to him, "Are you alright?"

Yuuri fights the urge to roll his eyes, "Of course I'm alright. It's only a scratch."

"A scratch?" Lasagna asks,"Forgive me, Your Majesty, but it looks like you've sliced your finger open!"

"It's not that big of a deal."

"Let me see," Conrad practically commands as he takes Yuuri's hand in his to closely inspect it.

Yuuri flushes at how close Conrad was to his face.

"Don't make such a big deal...I'm-"

"Yuuri!"

Yuuri knows that voice.

He gulps. He sounds pretty angry, too.

"Why are you so close to my fiancé?!"

Yuuri looks over to see Wolfram storming over to them. His enraged accidental fiancé didn't look happy at all.

"His Majesty just cut himself on the glass, Wolfram. I was only inspecting it to see how serious it was," Conrad explained to Wolfram calmly.

Some of the anger seemed to dissipate and was then replaced with concern, "Yuuri cut himself? Wimp, what did you do now?"

Yuuri huffs. All this concern for him was making his head swarm!

"I was only trying to help Lasagna. She dropped all these plates. I just accidentally cut myself. It's no big deal. I'm fine."

Wolfram rolls his eyes, "You always say that. But you're bleeding. You're not okay. Now let me look at it."

"That's not necessary! I only need a band aid!"

"A band what? Now you're just talking nonsense, Yuuri. Come here."

Yuuri sighed. Why did everyone have to make such a big deal about this? Seriously! You would think he just got some deadly wound with the way they were acting. He wasn't dying! It was just a cut!

Wolfram's hand shot out to grab Yuuri's wrist as he kneeled down next to him to look at his finger. His face grew very warm at Wolfram's close proximity.

Wolfram nods, satisfied.

"Alright. It isn't so bad. But I'm going to take you to Gisela so she can patch it up for you."

Yuuri sighs. That's what he was trying to tell everyone in the first place!

"You don't need to take me, Wolfram. I can go myself."

Wolfram shakes his head, "I'm coming with you. And I hope that you've learned your lesson about touching glass, Wimp."

Yuuri glares at him, "I knew that could have happened! I was trying to be careful..."

"Well, obviously not careful enough."

Yuuri scowls at the scolding, but let's Wolfram take hold of his wrist to drag him up to find Gisela. She wrapped some cloth around his finger and then continued to scold him about touching glass so carelessly.

He wasn't being careless! Was everyone going to scold him about this? It was just a little cut!

Yuuri continued his day normally after that. He went for his morning run with Conrad and then left to go sign papers with Gwendal. He was very cross with Yuuri when he first came in for being so late, but after Yuuri explained to him what happened, he begrudgingly let it go.

After a mundane couple of hours of signing papers, he then went to the meeting he was supposed to attend with the other nobles.

There wasn't a big discussion about anything really important. Just small thinks like people going on strike in the Krist territory and trouble with decisions on the new laws. The biggest thing they discussed was Shou Cimeron. Apparently, they've been very quiet and secretive lately. So, it was a big discussion on whether or not they were up to something.

Yuuri sighed as he left the meeting. Thank Shinuo that's over!

Now he just has to get through lessons with Gunter...

Wonderful.

Yuuri then proceeded to Gunter's lessons. He couldn't tell you what in the world he was talking about. Yuuri spent most of the time spacing out and nodding his head every once in a while.

He thought Gunter was going on about some myth, or maybe a legend, that happens every hundred, thousand, or million years or something.

Oh, well. It probably isn't that important. It's just a legend, right? It isn't even something real.

Once Yuuri is dismissed from his lessons he starts to head back to his room. He remembers Conrad telling him there is a ball tonight. Yuuri groans inwardly. How is he going to get through this? Not to mention he still has to figure out the right way to end his engagement with Wolfram...

How exactly is he supposed to do that?

Yuuri sighs as he enters his room.

Well, Yuuri's sure he'll figure something out.

WolfYuu WolfYuu WolfYuu

Yuuri shuffles on his feet awkwardly. The whole ball thing really isn't his scene. He doesn't fit in with all these nobles, princesses, and Kings. He never has. Also, he really wishes none of them would ask him to dance, considering he still doesn't know how.

Plus, Wolfram doesn't like it when he dances with other people.

"May I have this dance, Your Majesty?"

Yuuri blinked as he looked over to see a young noble offering him his hand. His hair was golden brown and he had light blue eyes. He had a soft smile on his face as he looked at Yuuri.

Yuuri is surprised at the fact that a boy is asking him to dance. Usually, princesses and daughters of nobles are the ones asking him. He bites his bottom lip nervously. What is he supposed to say? It was strange for two boys to dance together. Plus, he didn't know how.

Yuuri looked down at the hand offered to him. Well, he didn't want to be rude. Yuuri looked up into the crowd of dancers. And it wasn't like they would be the only boys dancing together.

Yuuri takes his hand hesitantly and then looks into the nobles eyes shyly. He had no idea how to act; he's never been in a situation like this before.

Yuuri nods his head, "O-okay."

The nobles smile brightens when Yuuri agrees, and then he pulls Yuuri out onto the dance floor. Once they get there, the noble turns gracefully, and then he puts his other hand on Yuuri's waist and pulls him closer to him.

Yuuri flushes. Great, he was the girl.

He could barely dance the boy's part and he has been roped into doing that a few times over the years!

"U-um. I have a confession. I'm not-I mean- I can't exactly dance very well..." Yuuri spluttered out as he looked into the nobles face.

The noble smiles at him again, "Don't worry. Just follow my lead."

The song began and all eyes seemed to go towards Yuuri and the noble. He flushes under their gazes and he wished he could just run away.

Once the song ended the noble said his goodbyes to Yuuri and did something that made Yuuri freeze, blush, and his eyes widen. All simultaneously.

The noble took Yuuri's hand in his and kissed it. In front of everyone.

"Thank you for the dance, Your Majesty. I hope I get the chance to see you again."

Yuuri blinked the shock away as he watched the noble walk away from him.

Yuuri turns around very slowly and he freezes again.

Wolfram.

He's glaring at Yuuri from across the room, fists clenched and shaking in anger. Yuuri bites his bottom lip nervously as he watches his accidental fiancé seething in anger.

Wolfram then takes off outside and towards the gardens. Yuuri lets out the breath he was holding.

What was he supposed to do? Should he go after him?

Yuuri wasn't sure why. It's not like he did anything wrong. Still, he couldn't help but feel guilt creep into him. Yuuri glances over to the place where Wolfram left from. But if he does go after Wolfram, he'll probably just end up screaming at him and try to start him on fire. Yuuri sighs as he closes his eyes. He decides that it's probably the best to go after Wolfram.

Yuuri heads outside and looks around. Wolfram's nowhere in sight.

"Wolfram?" Yuuri calls out, "Where are you?" Yuuri looks from side to side. Really. It's not like he could just disappear.

"Yuuri."

Yuuri's blood runs cold at the overly calm voice that came from behind him. Yuuri swallows as he turns slowly to face that voice's owner.

"Wolf..."

"Don't. I don't want to hear it, you cheater," Wolfram says angrily, "How dare you? You make such a big deal about both of us being boys and then you go and flirt with a boy and let him lead you?!"

Yuuri flushes, "I was not flirting!"

Wolfram glares at him, "Well, it didn't look like that to me. Not to mention everyone else in the room that saw."

Yuuri glares back at him, letting his anger get the best of him, "That's the whole point isn't it? I'm sick of everyone making assumptions about me! I didn't do anything wrong and everyone feels the need to over analyze everything I do! I was not flirting with him! He asked me to dance and I didn't want to be rude! That's all there was to it!"

Yuuri swears he sees fire in Wolfram's eyes, "Why should I believe that, Cheater?! Obviously you care about his feelings more than mine if you didn't want to be rude to him!"

Yuuri glowers, "Why should I have to consider you in everything I do? You had nothing to do with this!"

Wolfram huffs, "I'm your fiancé, which means you should consider me all the time!"

Yuuri snaps, "Well you shouldn't be! It was an accident and I was even going to end it today!"

Yuuri freezes as the words came out of his mouth. He didn't mean to say that. His anger then completely drains away at the look on Wolfram's face.

Yuuri could have sworn he saw a flash of hurt and pain etched into Wolfram's face. But it was over in a second, replaced with a cold mask that made Yuuri wince and a sadness fill him. He couldn't be completely sure if the expression he saw before was real or not. However, Yuuri was pretty sure it was since Wolfram was wearing a cold mask right now.

Wolfram never looks like that...

He wished more than anything he could take those words back.

"Wolf..." Yuuri whispered as he looked into his eyes-begging and wishing that the world would let him take those words back.

Wolfram looks back into his eyes, distantly, "If that's really what you want, Your Majesty. Then consider it done. If you'll excuse me."

Wolfram walked passed Yuuri, whose eyes started to fill with tears.

This was not what he wanted at all.

WolfYuu WolfYuu WolfYuu

Once Yuuri made it back to his room-his cold, empty room, which he was very much alone in- he finally let the tears spill from his eyes.

This was what he wanted.

But not like this.

He cares for Wolfram. A lot. Yuuri could probably even say he's his best friend.

Yuuri shouldn't have yelled at him. He shouldn't have gotten so mad. He should have handled this differently.

Yuuri falls face first onto his pillow and then curls up into a ball on his side of the bed, a cold spot on the other.
