Yuuri's POV

Today has been a seriously long day. The fact that I'm the Maou and have endless duties to do means that I'm normally extremely tired at the end of the day. That's not true right now since I seem to have an endless amount of energy running away from Wolfram. I don't know where it's coming from, maybe an angry Wolfram is all I need for motivation...maybe I should take him back to Earth with me and he can chase me round the baseball field- but that's besides the point.

"Yuuri! Get back here right now! You absolute wimp! What are you scared of? I'm not going to hurt you...much!" Yup, now he's shouting. Nothing to be scared of? Wolfram's like the horror movie of the century when angry! I'm more scared of him then anything else at this point in life.

No. I don't know what I did.

This time I'm pretty sure I did nothing actually, other then my normal schedule I've done nothing but wake up.

Wolfram wasn't angry this morning though...I wonder if it's something I said. Aw, that's more then likely, right?

He hasn't been chasing me long. I just recently found freedom by escaping from Gwendal's office after signing more then enough paper work for one day. The things people ask for, honestly. I saw him in the hall and he looked bored. I casually walked over, said a few things and then BAM! Out of nowhere he gets angry. I would ask him what I did wrong, but he'd almost literally fire some smart arse comment back at me about how 'I don't know what I said/did because I'm such a wimp'. Running away is my safest bet right now.

"Yuuri!" He's still chasing me, where does he get all his energy from? Maybe it's all his soldier training, he's always been stronger then me, and probably every person I know other then his brothers and Günter.

Uh oh, I'm exhausted. I have to stop, I'm sorry mother I tried my hardest in life, say goodbye to Shouri and dad for m-

"Hah! I've got you now! How dare you insult me like that!" Wolfram's really angry, huh? Insult him? What could I have said...? If I trace back the conversations I've had with Wolf today then...

Something about Lady Cecile, something about me being Maou and then something about looks. After that I called him an 'Ex-Prince Charming', because of his looks and all-

Oh.

That's what I did wrong.

He obviously took it the wrong way. I didn't mean he wasn't a Prince Charming any more, I just meant he wasn't a prince! Hmm, guess there's only one thing left to do. Apologise, thought with Wolfram, I don't think I'll be left off easily.

"Wolf, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that! Please calm down!" I know I'm waving my arms frantically, but what else can I do? He's leaning over me and it's really intimidating.

"Look, wimp. I don't care how many times you apologise. That's not the point. This isn't the first time you've said something stupid!"

"H-hey, Wolf? Did anyone ever tell you you look amazing at this angle?" I'll just try and complement him, it might work.

"Humph, and what's so wrong with any other angle?" Gah, Wolfram you're so difficult to talk to! You don't know what it's like to be me do you? I wonder how Wolfram would react if this situation was the other way around...

"Nothing, Wolf. Man, you're so stubborn." I sound like I'm sulking, but who cares if I am? I just so happened to have accidentally gotten myself engaged to one of the most troublesome people I have ever known. Despite his fragile, beautiful looks he is a snappy, harsh, angry, selfish brat...as said by Günter and I agree with that up until the 'selfish brat' part. He seems to have calmed down a tad lately, and he thinks about other people now a lot more than he did when I first met him.

"Of course I am." He leaned away from me a little after saying that. Whew, for a minute there I thought I was dead. I don't know if he was being sarcastic there or what, but he looks less angry now then before. Maybe my apology did work after all? But I doubt that. I know it's dangerous but I'm going to test and see if it worked!

"Heh, so does this mean I'm off the hook?" I said that a little to hopefully, now his scowl is back. Oh, what have I done! I might as well have signed my own death warrant.

"Let's just see, shall we?" Oh no. He's grabbing my arm! He's dragging me! Aah! Wolf, wait, where are we going?

"Wolf, eh-"

"Shut it, wimp. You have work to do." He's dragging me towards Gwendal's office again. At this rate, I'll be stuck doing paper work again! Wolfram!

"Wait, Wolf. I said I was sorry already, what more do you want from me?"

"Didn't I just tell you to be quiet. You have work to do, don't you. I don't know how you escaped from big brother's office again but I highly doubt you've finished all your work. Wimps like you have a different excuse to get out of these things every single time, but I wont let you go that easily." Even though I'm behind him right now and I can't see his face, I'm sure there is a huge smirk plastered right across it. He just loves to torture me! Does Wolf know how I feel when he does this? I'm scared for my life. Now I have to deal with an angry Gwendal too. Life just gets better and better, huh?

"Not a wimp." I know it's a stupid thing to say, but right now I have no other argument. Think Yuuri, think. How could you get out of this? What should I do? I can't run away again, Wolf would fry me for sure. I can't make up any excuses right now because I'd probably come out with something ridiculous. I wonder if Wolfram knows how tiring paper work can be... I've never seen him doing any, although Gwendal seems to be used to it by now and I don't think I'll ever see Conrad doing any... Let alone anyone else in the castle. Why can't they just be the Maoh, then they'll see how it feels- Wait, why can't they just be the Maoh? I wonder...

I must have had a smug look on my face because Wolfram is looking at me questioningly. Maybe it is suspicious to not realise we've stopped right out side of...Gwendal's office. Aaww. Now I have to endure more paper work. Why do they make this so hard on me? I guess that doesn't matter any more because tomorrow will be a different thing altogether.

I can't remember starting to smirk, but I must have because Wolfram started to get angry and yelled at me for looking too happy despite my sulking mood before. I think he's realised that my mind is elsewhere right now. Hah, oh well. Time to initiate my plan!

"Wolf. Lets make a deal."

"A deal? What for?" The questioning look is back.

"I'll do my work without protest for the next few hours, if you go and fetch everyone that isn't a guard or in a working station at this castle." Hahah, this'll be fun.

"Why in Shin Makoku would you want me to do that?" Oh, he raised his voice a little. Stepping back a little wont hurt, right?

"Please Wolf, I'll answer all your questions later, just go tell everyone to come here."

"Humph. It's evident that you're planning something, but fine." He crossed his arms, I hope he doesn't see through my plan.

"Thanks Wolf. I'll start my work, you just go fetch everyone." It's fair to say I was quite surprised when he actually did as I asked because I didn't even need to 'order him as his king'. Sometimes I don't understand Wolf. It's as if he's constantly on a trampoline, one moment he's up and then the next he's down again, sometimes he's even done a complete flip to postpone being down. Oh well. I guess I should keep my end of the bargain.

I'm bracing myself before going in though. Safety first, right?

I open the door and guess what! Gwendal isn't here, so I'm safe. I'll just sit down and act as if I never left in the first place. If Gwendal asks where I went, I'll tell him I never left and that he must be becoming delirious and his wrinkles may have covered his vision. I'd never say that aloud though. Especially not to Gwendal. In fact, I don't even think Gwendal is on the list of people I'd say that to.

Wolfram's POV

What could Yuuri be planning now? He's always seemed suspicious, but right now he's way beyond suspicious. I'm feeling uneasy just turning my back on him. There's something he's not telling me and quite frankly I'd prefer knowing then not knowing. What excuse does he have to not tell me? After all, I am his fiancé. But why could he possibly want me to send everyone to Gwendal's office?

That doesn't matter though, like he said, I guess I'll just have to find out when he decides to tell me. Damn wimp.

Hmm, who to fetch first? Right now I'm in the courtyard...and he said to send everyone so...that must mean...Conrad and Yozak. They should be around here somewhere. I'll just keep on walking until I see them hiding behind some tree doing lord knows what. Everyone around here is so damn suspicious all the time, unlike me. I don't hide anything from anyone...Except..the majority...of the...castle- Oh! There they are.

What are they doing?...

All I know is I can hear them giggling. Right now I'd rather not know what they're giggling at, I'll just interrupt their 'happy' little moment. Yuuri is more important.

"Lord Weller, Yozak!" Now that I have their attention, "Yuuri wants to see everyone who is not in a working station around the castle. You have to report to Gwendal's office immediately. No questions asked." It's normal that Conrad would go, but did I not just say everyone? "Yozak! Need I repeat myself? Yuuri said everyone. And what Yuuri says goes; am I wrong?"

Hah. Now he's moving. I just wish he wasn't giving me curious looks, why does everyone act so insolent around here. Never mind that. Back to Yuuri's orders... Actually now that I think about it, did that wimp even order me to do this?

Sometimes I wish he didn't have me wrapped around those devious little fingers of his. I have to pay more attention; stop acting rashly and inappropriately to Yuuri, he doesn't care enough to show whether or not he notices either way though.

Not that I am acting rashly and inappropriately. Like I'd even admit to something as dubious as that.

Anyway.

Next is... Who's closest? Well, since I'm still in the courtyard I don't think it would be a problem to find Günter pondering around the flowers, or maybe even Greta. I'm sure she'll be out in the garden enjoying herself. Admittedly, I hope she is. It's not good for young children to be held indoors during the younger years of their lives. I tend to think Greta is too energetic to be closed up inside the castle all day; she never ceases to amaze me with how long she can keep herself awake at nights. Yeah, maybe I'll go look for her next, besides Yuuri hasn't seen her all day since morning and I believe he should be more associated with our daughter during the day. I can't stand it when he leaves her along for too long; she becomes bored and restless.

If I know Greta well enough -and I do- she'll be somewhere with lots of daisies and countless numbers of other flowers which I know I should know the name of but can never remember. The place she is most likely to be at right now would probably be up on the small hill beside the castle, daises grow there an awful lot and the tree is beautiful when it blossoms; not to mention the fantastic view up there.

Walking there shouldn't take long; I think I'm closer then I cared to realise because I can see a small figure under the huge tree. Looks like her alright. Who else rolls around in fallen blossom and has that much fun doing it? I think she's giggling...and it's contagious. I let out a little laugh then; honestly, she is the most adorable thing around here most of the time other then Yuu-

…

Okay Greta, I'm coming to get you.

It's amazing what I saw when I arrived at her side. Seems all the giggling worn her out, or maybe she was chasing butterflies because she's fallen asleep. Doesn't matter though, I'll just have to carry her around with me until we reach her room. Truthfully, she's really light, but that's normal for someone at her age. I think I'll have to put her to bed, it's not too early and she doesn't look like she's ready to wake up at all. She smiled, I think she's dreaming. I'll have to postpone my duties for now and put her to bed, I'll just send down who I see on the way.

Yuuri's POV

I was overjoyed when Conrad and Yozak entered the room, it seems Wolf is doing a good job. I wonder where he is...Hmm. I'm still keeping it a secret no matter how many times Conrad pesters me to tell him 'what's wrong' as he puts it. Oh Conrad, I assure you nothing is wrong. Actually it's so obviously right...Well, heheh, it is to me. I feel like I might be making a mistake but I also have the urge to try it so badly. I'll let them feel my pain. They'll see what I go through. Each one of them...Each of them who's up for it that is.

…

Hey! Gwendal's arrived. He looks a little starry eyed, maybe he saw something irresistibly cute. He looks slightly impatient too though.

Hurry up Wolf! I can't start until you and everyone else is here. I grinned slightly. Wolfram is taking his time. I wonder what he's up to.

Hey! Now Anissina's here! Few more people. Just Lady Celi, Wolf, Günter I think...anyone else? I suppose Greta could come. Oh, I haven't seen her since this morning. I hope she's okay. She tends to get bored if I'm not around. That doesn't matter right now though because Wolfram's probably with her somewhere if he's taking this long. He's a much better parent to her than I am; he even keeps her occupied whilst I'm stuck here working. Being demon king is so exhausting, I barely get to do anything fun any more because Gwendal is always on my case. There is always something different and maybe even harder then the last thing to do. Not that I didn't know this would happen, but I didn't expect it to be like this every day.

Where could Wolfram have gotten to? Günter arrived. He said he missed me and had done plenty of research for our next lesson. It was something about how the Great Sage and the Great One built up their –my– kingdom. I didn't hear most of it because I was trapped in a bear hug. Something tells me Wolf wasn't the one who told him to come here, he probably just came from his own will to 'see his majesty so badly it hurts' and probably wasn't even told I want everyone's attention. Only about two more people to come.

I'm not completely sure if Lady Celi is at the castle today. It's more than likely that she is out looking for love then in here dying of loneliness. I'm not sure what she really does on those voyages, but on the slightly less than rare occasion that we'd meet up with her while she's on one we've never seen anyone else with her. We only ever see her. I wonder why she doesn't spend more time with her sons before they get old...Then again when is 'old' for a mazoku? Gwendal and Günter are over 150, so it must be somewhere around 400 assuming that they are 5 times older then they look. I wonder what their life expectancy is...

Wolfram's still not here yet. Everyone in the room is just conversing between themselves with the occasional curious glance over at me. I just smile and wave them away every time they ask something. I'll keep doing that till Wolf gets here.

Wolfram's POV

I know I'm taking a while, but Greta wanted a story read to her after she woke up when I put her into bed. I ended up reading one of Anissina's less than amusing story books. Honestly, half of that stuff is hardly appropriate for a child's eyes and ears! Has she no shame? It's only because she really insisted...and then gave me those eyes. I'm such a bad parent always falling for them. Yuuri has never fallen for the eyes when I'm around him. He never gives in to her! Heck, he never gives in to anyone! He's so naïve, never seeing the bad side of people. It's always made me curious as to what he thinks of me. I understand that he thinks highly of Conrad and Gwendal, he's jumpy around Günter and that he's always respected the women around the castle but he never seems to say anything about me.

Never mind, back to my job. I already sent Gwendal when I was putting Greta to bed and I saw Anissina chasing him along the way. I hope he's relieved, Yuuri probably just saved him from a weeks long recovery although I doubt he would mention it. That only leaves mother. I'm sure I saw her somewhere this morning. I'll check her room.

The castle corridors are so much bigger when you're alone. They all ways are when there's a group of people protecting one person, that person being the wimp. They are also colder. You wouldn't notice it in a big group of people because of all the shared body heat. It makes me shiver. I'd warm myself up but that would just slow me down by using up the extra energy. I'm almost a mother's room now, it's always surprisingly warm in there.

She's definitely in there, I can hear her. She's telling a maid how to do her hair correctly. That's just like her. She's barely ever done her own hair...I remember the time she asked me to do it, that was more then hilarious. I made such a mess of it.

I'll just enter quietly, she wont notice me that way.

Her door is rather heavy and it made a lot of noise so she heard me coming. Oh well. At any rate sneaking in wasn't really necessary, all I'm doing is sending her to Yuuri.

"Mother." She's hugging me and for the love of Shinou way to tightly! It's hard to breathe in this situation, but I'm growing used to it now that I'm growing taller. I'm almost taller then Yuuri.

"Oh, Wolfie! It's such a joy that you would come to see your dear mother of your own will!" Ack, not tighter!

"Muth-fur!" I can barely hear my own muffed words, so I don't know how she can with me trapped in her...trapped like this. Ah, she's loosening her grip I can finally speak again. "Thank you. What I actually came for was to tell you that we are required to go to Yuuri." She's looking at me and that small -growing- smile on her lips is making me uncomfortable. And why does she have to squeal so loud like she just did? Sorry Mother, but I wish to keep my hearing until I'm your age at least.

"Wolfie! You and his majesty are getting married?" I can just feel my eyes popping out of my eyes right now. What an absurd suggestion. Actually, it's kind of hurtful everytime it's brought up as my answer is the same when she asks.

"No. Mother. It's nothing to do with that I'm sure. He wants to talk to everybody. The rest of them are already there, it's just me and you who need to head to Gwendal's office now." She is giving me a slightly disheartened look. I don't know why, she was more interested in Yuuri then I was to begin with. I would have thought she would be happier to hear that our relationship has made no progress.

She accompanied me on the way down there and when we entered the overcrowded room Yuuri's face lit up. He looked happy to see me for once. It made me smile slightly. Yuuri started to talk finally. It wasn't the way he was formally speaking that suprised me though, it was what he was actually saying. It made me think. He has to be kidding though; he can't really think everyone is going to agree to that. But he's already said that we have no way of getting out of it now. He doesn't understand what he's getting himself into clearly, I'll be glad to help him with that though.

Yuuri's POV

Wolfram finally arrived! Gosh, how long have I been waiting for him? Don't make me wait so long next time Wolf, but in any case better get started. Oh, and Lady Celi is here too, not that I'm surprised.

"I wanted to inform you all that I have had a very special idea. It involves every single person in this room. I need you all to comply. Anyone oppose so far?" I'm speaking pretty formally to them, huh? Never thought I had it in me to use such big words. No one is saying anything so I'll just continue. "Now that none of you are against the idea there is no backing out." I'd already planned to flash my biggest smile at that point, and so I did. A few eyes widen at me but right now I must keep explaining.

"I have decided that I go through a lot every day. I want you to know just how much I have to do- Wolfram where is Greta?" I know it's off topic but I need her for the plan, not that she'd be opposed.

"She's asleep. In bed."

"Isn't it a bit early for her bed time?"

"Not at all. She fell asleep outside so I decided it would be better if I let her sleep. She looked extremely worn out from all the running she was doing."

"Oh. I was wondering what took you so long. Was that it?"

"What else? She's fine just carry on, everyone's waiting for an explanation Yuuri." Oh, I see. They do all look impatient now, including Wolf.

"Ah, yes." I turn to everyone else and carry on. How is it Wolfram has such control over me? "I have decided that each one of you will be in my position." I think several of them got the idea because I hear several gasps all at the same time. "That's right. Each of you will have one day as the Maou of Shin Makoku. You will each be required to choose a fiancé and protectors of your choice. Oh and Greta will act as your child for the day." I love the way Wolfram started to laugh at that bit. He probably understands that Greta is a handful sometimes. Oh, I'm getting distracted.

"Yuuri, are you kidding?" Wolfram is interrupting me. I pout at him a little. Always works...sometimes.

"Of course I'm not. You all put me through so much all the time." The emphasis on the 'you' was directed at you Wolfram. Yes it was.

"Very well. I'll comply." That was unexpected. And so was the huge grin on his face. I don't like it when he gets ideas... but that's probably the same for him. He generally laughs at mine.

"Your majesty, that's absurd. Everyone here? That would be over a week. Over a week without you, your majesty!" Günter. I knew he'd say that somewhere along the line.

"I'll still be here. I'll be observing all of you and of course Murata and Shinou will have a day too. It's not like it's going to affect the kingdom. They have survived months with out me being here. They'll definitely survive if other people temporarily take over for a day." At least three people gasped when I said Shinou. Of course he needs to have a day, I fear what he would do to me if he didn't have a part in this. Actually, I wonder whether Murata will be willing to do it... Never mind. He'll have a day and I plan to make sure of it.

"Well, who's day will it be first if you're so adamant about this?" I don't think it would be bad for you to go first Gwendal, you have so much experience in this sort of thing.

"That's what I've been trying to figure out all day. I don't have a clue. Hmm, age order? Height order? Whoever is ready?" I'm not sure. The only things I can think of right now are them three. My minds gone blank of any ideas right now. Why now of all times? I know that is something I should have thought of first, but my mind was to focused on telling them plan then anything else.

"We'll decide tomorrow. Right now I suggest that everyone get some rest and decide on their...partners tonight in case of their going first." Thank you Gwendal, you've spared me having the awkward task of getting everyone out of here. I see several of them nod and leave the room. That's funny, I thought some of them would want to say something at least, but only Wolf and Gwendal did. Wolfram's still here. But I don't mind. He wont leave even if I tell him to although he's not grinning at me any more, he is just staring at me funnily. Maybe he's trying to read my mind. It's no so bad having him as my fiancé I guess, anyone else here would be slightly awkward and other then his temper, he's an amazing friend. He's fun to have around too since he's almost my age... Well, he is in looks and that helps, he also has the mind of a teenager and that means he's a lot like me. He's also completely different to me.

"You really want use to know how you feel that badly? That's just like you, Yuuri." He's walking towards me. I just smile his way. I guess it does look a little desperate and I would be the only one to think of something as strange as this, but it'll work and they'll know.

"It's not like it's a bad idea Wolf. Just see it as a chance to get back at them for all the stress they put me through. I'll just give them a taste of their own medicine." Yup, that's exactly what I have planned.

"Stress?" That evil, devious smile is coming back. Wolf... Why do you look at me like that? It makes me uneasy. "You wont know stress until it's my turn to be the Maou. Heed my warning Yuuri. Hey, maybe you'll even see this as a mistake afterwards but consider it encouragement to not make any more mistakes." Oh, that seems to be all he wanted to say because he's walking away. All I can do is gulp. He is so very scary at times...He makes me feel so small. Why is it he is the only one that does? Oh Shinou, what have I done to myself? Why did I let Wolfram take part?

Being in bed with Wolf is easier now that I'm used to it, but I can't help thinking about what he said. He's made me really uneasy. He takes the who fiancé thing really seriously, it's endless the things he could order me to do when he's the Maou. This is entirely my fault. I'm so naïve. I keep asking myself why I let him in on it, but why haven't I actually done anything about it? It's too late now though because he's asleep. He's a heavy sleeper and it's not like I want to wake him up anyway, he's always angry when he's woken up early.

The whole castle's in bed now and I'm just lying here awake. Wolfram, this is entirely your fault. I'm going to lie here till morning without any sleep because of you.

He keeps rolling over and hitting me.

It makes me wonder if he always knows what I'm thinking,

If he's the only one who knows what's going on in my head,

Even I don't know what's going on in my head and I have multiple examples of that.

Then again, if he does then why is he constantly with me? Constantly by my side?

He's never like this with anyone else and especially not Conrad. I know he cares for me, I just wish I knew what he actually thinks of me. He never actually says anything about me. He only says I'm a wimp and that doesn't help. I want to know what he thinks. What goes through his head when he sees me, not when he talks to me. Looking at him now, he is undeniably beautiful. It's not that I'm gay -I most certainly am not- but he is amazingly attractive. It makes me wonder why he keeps me by his side. Why he...always wants my... attention... Why he never...dissolved the engagement altogether...and why...why he is still...with me...now...

…

A/N

Hmm, who should go first? Any suggestions? And the story will have other peoples point of views in it, Wolf and Yuuri's are the only two appropriate for this chapter though. I didn't think I'd need anyone elses and I'm sorry if they are out of character.

Yuuri fell asleep if you're confused, by the way.

Thanks for reading. :D

Review please, it's the only way I'll get any better! (Even if I'll get better in time, I don't think that counts.)

Oh, and please point out any mistakes, even if they are small!
