~Wolframs pov~
I said my good byes to solid ground as I stepped into my personal hell… a ship.
Once again I was going to help my dense fiancé with whatever it was that was wrong this week. When was the last time I had a calm week? A month or two I think, last time Yuuri was gone. He had told me to stay but I can't just let that walking disaster go out without me. As much as I deny it he makes me worry about not only him leaving me for another but for his actual safety.
I wonder how he still walks after all that's happened. So long as I can lend a helping hand I'm ok with his whining. We walked and I almost immediately let my lunch (and dignity) leave me.
"Wolfram maybe you should get some rest." said Yuuri as I leaned over the rim of the ship. "I'm fine wimp" was my natural response. He sighed and walked away. I didn't expect anything else from him.
~ Yuuri's pov~
Wolfram was being difficult again. I don't get him I mean one second he's saying he wants to help yet the next he practically tells me to back off. I turned back to tell him off but remembered he could literally barbeque me so I decided maybe some other time. I went to get dinner with Conrad and Murata while he fumed over his… whatever it was he was fuming over.
We had some chicken and wine (I only took sips considering I don't really like the bitter taste I get in my throat) until Conrad laughed at my face and gave me some orange juice.
Eventually it got late and I went to my temporary room. I got some clothes out and went to take a quick shower. Wolfram was coming in the opposite direction but didn't notice until we bumped shoulders... I looked at him and he looked kind of angry. "Yuuri you wimp!" yelled wolfram "what?! I didn't even do anything!" I exclaimed. "Forget about it wimp" he said and rolled his eyes. He walked around me and headed towards the ships rim with a sick look to him.
I walked into the bathroom and took my shower. Once I was done I dressed in my regular blue pajamas and waited for sleep to come. The bed was comfortable but not as much as the one at home… err… castle. I wasn't surprised when Wolfram came into my temporary room with yellow pajamas. "Wolfram what happened to the nightgown?" I asked curiously. He looked at me sleepily. "Too cold for nightgowns" He said with a yawn. "Oh." He looked at me for a second before walking over to the other side of the bed. "Why don't you go sleep in your own room?" I asked a little afraid of getting burned. "Because wimp, I'm your fiancé and I won't let you out of my sight for a second with all these people here you could cheat on me with." He said. I sighed loudly and fell back on my pillow. I turned my head in the other direction and felt the bed shift under the barely noticeable weight. I felt my eyes close from exhaustion and the faint whisper of Wolfram's breath on my back. I could tell he was asleep from the light snoring that escaped his lips. Well that and the punch I took to the shoulder. I sighed once more and began to fall asleep.
The sun disturbed my sleep indicating that it was breakfast time. My yawn was loud and I began to shift my legs so I could stand up. I noticed wolframs arms around my torso and my face grew about a million shades of red before ending in scarlet. I don't understand why I blushed really. After all it was just a hug.
~normal pov~
Yuuri made his way towards the kitchen and Conrad in his pajamas. "Good morning Conrad." He said nicely. "Good morning heika." "Yuuri not heika, Yuuuuri" he emphasized. "Yes yuuri" responded Conrad with a smile. Murata entered the room with a light smile showing his sleepy features and crazy hair. "Good morning Shibuya, Conrad" Said Murata. "Good morning Murata" said Yuuri. "Geika" acknowledged Conrad. He sat down and waited for his breakfast.
After they were half way done Wolfram walked in. He sat down and rubbed his emerald green eyes. His food was instantly brought up along with a drink. He played with it for a while until Yuuri gave him a curious look. "Wolfram why aren't you eating?" asked Conrad. "Because if I do I'll just throw it up" Replied wolfram with a frown. "Don't worry were almost there" said Murata with his glasses gleaming. Wolfram nodded and continued to poke at his food. Yuuri kept staring at wolfram while said young blond ate his food. Conrad and Murata excused themselves and Yuuri noticed he had not touched his own food.
The four arrived at their destination. A small kingdom that was interested in building an alliance to get protection against a neighboring kingdom that was both much larger and often stole from them. Said kingdom was named after their first king Neyiam. The king was a kind man and had three pretty daughters, the eldest one with long blond hair to her knees and brown eyes, the middle one with short brown hair and silver blue eyes, and the youngest with shoulder length crimson red hair and matching eyes. The king himself was a matching set of gray and ready to give his oldest daughter the kingdom. Her name was Melody and she was a firm but kind young woman who would make a fine queen. She had already married and her husband would make a fine king by her side. The middle daughter was getting married in three days and was overly exited. The youngest didn't take much interest in terms of love preferring to keep to herself and either painting or singing with her caged golden nightingales.
Once they stepped into the castle made entirely of a rare purple marble they were greeted by the king and his daughters. "Maou Heika!" exclaimed the king, "welcome to my humble castle!" Yuuri smiled at him and bowed "thank you for accepting us" Murata smiled and began to look around. He noticed the pretty princesses and smiled internally. Conrad simply stood there in all his happy person glory and looked at his young king. Wolfram stood there with a bored expression and kept his eyes on Yuuri. The king stood with the help of his guards and began to walk towards the dinning room. "My dear young man please lets go get something to eat while we talk" said the old king. "You and your subordinates must be tired after the trip." "Thank you! We would love to" said Yuuri excitedly. The king smiled and led them into the dinning room along with his daughters.
The two kings sat and Conrad took the seat to Yuuri's left while the one to his right stayed empty. Wolfram was standing at the door with Murata. Yuuri looked at them curiously and looked at the seat next to him. "Sir von Bielefeld why don't you sit next to our king?" asked Murata with a teasing tone. "If I may be so bold to ask" said wolfram to the old king "Where is your garden?" the king smiled at him widely and signaled to a young boy "Roy please take our guest to the garden" "yes sir" said the boy and bowed. "I will be leaving too father" said the youngest daughter. "But Ayame you haven't eaten a thing dear" Said the king. She smiled softly to her father "perhaps you could send it to my study." She said kindly. "Well so long as you eat" said the king with a sigh.
The young girl who looked about Wolfram's and Yuuri's age hugged her father and walked towards the door. The young boy known as Roy walked towards Wolfram with a red face and looking down. "Th… this way… uh sir" said the boy nervously. God Wolfram was handsome; the young man had his first crush right then and there. Conrad couldn't hold a small chuckle and Murata was crying from holding in his laugh. Yuuri looked lost at their reactions not noticing anything funny.
"Conrad what is it?" asked Yuuri. "Nothing your highness, it just seems Wolfram has a new admirer" "another one?!" "Ha-ha looks like Shibuya has more competition!" exclaimed Murata though a whispered conversation. "Competition? No Murata Wolfram and I are just friends and nothing more." He said annoyed. "Whatever you say Shibuya" said Murata while laughing. Yuuri frowned but remained quiet. Eventually the blond princess sat to one side of her father and began to sip at her drink. The brown haired one later known as Amethyst sat with a huge smile on her face and began to talk about her grand wedding to her foreign knight.
Wolfram walked along with the blushing boy and smiled when he reached the small but pretty garden. "Here it is sir" said the boy while his voice broke. "Thank you" replied Wolfram with a warm smile that could melt iron but chose instead to melt Roy's senses. The boy stepped backwards and tripped on a pale. He blushed a deep scarlet thinking he had made a fool of himself.
He stood quickly and brushed himself off. He then heard Wolfram chuckle and blushed even deeper. "Excuse me sir" he said while almost crying. He turned in the other direction but Wolfram held his shoulder. "You seem nice. Know anything about gardening?" asked Wolfram with a chuckle. "Um… no sir I don't" he replied. "Would you like me to teach you?" the boy blushed and began to feel his throat go dry "yes" he managed to crack. Wolfram laughed "you have to turn around first" "yes sir" "wolfram" "pardon?" "Call me wolfram" "oh… ok" he turned to face the angel in front of him.
From her study Ayame had seen the whole thing. 'I thought all nobles were snobs' she thought. She giggled nervously. "Well he is cute" she whispered softly to a golden bird. She looked out the window again and saw him laughing at something the young boy had said.
It was getting dark and wolfram had decided to get dinner. He and Roy walked side by side telling each other about their crazy mothers and friends. Roy had known all along about his engagement to the king but it still hurt a little to know how much he loved him though he was happy that they were now friends. Ayame had made it a plan to follow them around and learn the secrets to her new crush.
She felt silly but didn't care. Wolfram was really handsome. She turned a corner and followed them towards the dinning hall. Wolfram seemed to have a soft spot for clumsy people. Along the way he helped a bumbling maid, a tripping solder, four servants and Roy countless times earning him eleven new admirers. Six were the people he helped and five were people who saw him helping them. By the time they got to the dinning hall word had spread of an angel in the castle.
When the two boys entered they were greeted by smitten maids and wide eyed solders. "It's him!" they all exclaimed at once. Yuuri and the others turned and saw them there "no way an angel where?" asked Yuuri. Wolfram Roy and Ayame were utterly confused when a maid walked up to Wolfram and blushed a deep scarlet "did you come for me my angel?" "WHAT!" exclaimed Yuuri.
Everyone in the room looked at the maid angrily (aside from Murata and Conrad who simply laughed). "Hes mine!" "When hell freezes over!" "Mine!" "When pigs fly!" "Get away from him!" "Don't touch him!" all hell broke loose in the dinning hall. The maids solders guards cooks and many others fighting over him both verbally and physically. Wolfram stood there stupefied. It had been a while since anything like this had happened.
"Surely you all know young Wolfram is engaged to king Yuuri correct?" said the king both amused but concerned over the scratching. Everyone stopped suddenly and half broke out in tears while the other half went into instant denial and kept fighting. Yuuri stood there not knowing what to do. Wolfram as equally confused.
Ayame walked into the dinning hall and looked at the scene. "Sir Wolfram perhaps you should eat in a more secluded space" she suggested while a maid tackled a solder onto a cook. "Yeah" he managed to say "You and Roy can accompany me in my study" she said kindly. Roy looked at the two of them and blushed. "Me too?" asked Roy "of course!" answered Ayame "the more the merrier" he smiled widely "thanks" "your dinning with royalty tonight" said wolfram with a smile.
Yuuri noticed Wolfram and his new friends leave the dinning room scene. He decided to follow them in order to find out why wolfram seemed to be avoiding him lately. Conrad and Murata smiled at the old king. "Conrad try to calm down the solders. Ill take care of the crying maids" said Murata "yes geika" answered Conrad.
Ayame had led them to her study. They three stepped inside and asked one of the older maids to get them dinner. Her study was as big as the party room in blood pledge castle. The walls were covered by a second skin made to be a cage for her golden nightingales; it extended about a foot into the room all around. Her room was not squared it was a pentagon. The fifth wall was the only one lacking the second skin; instead it was a large window that covered the whole perimeter.
She had a variety of paintings on the floor and a large 'o' shaped desk with a small cut at the end to allow entrance to the chair in the middle. The desk was placed in the middle of the room with the slit facing the wall opposite to her giant window; it was full of paints and pencils, sharpeners, colors, and books. On either side of the window there were jet black curtains with golden roses sewn on the silk. Both boys gasped at the beautiful room. She had a clear view of the garden and her roof has a giant glass window in the middle allowing her a full view of the moon or sun. Both boys stared at the extravagant room in awe.
She laughed at their stunned faces. "Guys, come sit down" she said. They looked at each other and laughed. She cleared a large spot on her desk and opened her door to ask another maid to bring two chairs to the study. Once they were all settled with their food they didn't notice Yuuri knock on the door. They laughed and talked about random subjects while joking around. Wolfram knew very well that they both had a crush on him but didn't mind it; instead he began to like the attention.
Neither the boy nor the princess disliked each other in fact they liked the others presence. The mood was calm and Wolfram forgot all about how much Yuuri ignored him for a while until the three heard a knock against the black and gold decorated doors. Wolfram smiled "maybe it's the maid with our desserts!" he knew he sounded childish but the atmosphere was just begging for him to let loose.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Ayame. "Ill get it" said Roy while he stood and ran to the door. While he began to open it he smiled back to his new friends "yes? Are the cakes here?" asked Roy to the half hidden new comer. "Um… no" said Yuuri awkwardly. "Yuuri heika?!" asked Roy surprised. He turned back to Ayame who simply kept talking to Wolfram. "Ayame its king Yuuri!" he announced.
"Oh" said Ayame with a bit of a bitter feeling due to the fact that she liked Wolfram and felt Yuuri would make things awkward. Roy was no problem due to the fact that he was fun and younger than her by about a year. She looked about fifteen and he was a cute and happy fourteen; While Wolfram appeared a handsome sixteen, in human years.
She thought it over and decided she was being rude enough by making him stand outside the door. "Let him in Roy" she said with a smile. Reluctantly he opened the door fully and welcomed Yuuri inside with a smile. "Thanks" said Yuuri sheepishly while sensing the awkward tension in the air. "Yuuri what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be talking with the king?" asked Wolfram sincerely.
"I came to find you" replied Yuuri while squirming under the stares. Ayame smiled and beckoned Roy to sit down. He did as told and sat right next to wolfram. Just then they heard a knock at the door and a call stating the cakes were here. Ayame smiled widely and stepped out of her giant desk. She ran to the door and opened it; the maid stepped inside and placed the cakes on the table. Ayame thanked her and asked her to bring a chair for Yuuri.
The maid smiled and bowed deeply and went to get the king his chair. Yuuri smiled while standing near the door; he felt awkward and couldn't help but stare at Wolfram's happy face. Was he glowing? No of course not. Yet he never smiled like that with Yuuri. He never laughed so loudly at a lame joke coming from a fourteen year old human of all people. He never joked about pink bananas along with a red headed girl in a green dress. He never let his guard down or joked about love.
Yes Ayame Roy and Wolfram were joking about love, weddings, and…. affairs?! Yuuri stared in disbelief as Wolfram seemed to forget him completely and laughed about a dare to kiss Roy from Ayame (which by the way he almost agreed to just to see her face). He had even pretended to propose to Ayame while Roy laughed his lungs out. Yuuri laughed sheepishly and coughed awkwardly into his hand when Roy suddenly got a backbone and jokingly asked Yuuri if he could have Wolfram.
Finally after what seemed like ages the maid came back with a chair and he was able to join the trio. Eventually he relaxed and began to almost enjoy himself. If it weren't for the fact that he had to tell Wolfram something three times before he got any acknowledgement. Ayame was sweet and Roy was the kind of boy that made you smile by just being near him.
Eventually the night ended and it was time to sleep. Ayame lead them out and asked her favorite and oldest maid to please clean the study and then get some much needed rest. She tended to worry about her older maids this maid was special to her. She was the one that taught her to paint. She knew the maid enjoyed being in the study and always left her paints and supplies out for the woman's enjoyment. The maid smiled and cupped her cheek "yes dear princess" she said in a motherly voice.
She hugged wolfram and left to her room. Yuuri was flabbergasted when Wolfram didn't pull away but instead hugged back. "Night Wolfie-chan!" yelled Ayame. Wolfram laughed and waved to her retreating form. "Well goodnight wolfram" said Roy awkwardly while walking towards his nearby house. "But Roy I thought you and I were going to camp out in the garden" said Wolfram with a chuckle.
Yuuri gawked at the scene playing in front of him 'and I'm the cheater?!' thought Yuuri. 'Wait this is good. Now Ill have the bed to myself!' Roy looked at Wolfram with a barely noticeable blush decorating his boyish 14 year old face. "Oh… well can you come with me so I can tell my parents?" "Sure" said Wolfram
He began to walk away with Roy and Yuuri felt really ignored. He coughed loudly enough for them to hear and winced when they didn't turn back. He coughed again and Wolfram finally seemed to notice "Oh… good night Yuuri" said Wolfram and almost instantly turned back. "Night Wolfram" he said but wasn't heard.
Yuuri stood there until Wolfram and Roy walked out of the courtyard. He felt really alone. The moonlight was well hidden under a mass of clouds and it was extremely dark, he suspected rain would come tomorrow. He felt a small smile find its way onto his face. 'That'll be a nice wake up call for Wolfram and his new little friend' he gasped at his own little thought. But he remembered how ignored he felt and thought of a very wet and cold Roy and an equally wet cheater. He smiled wickedly and walked towards his room.
Once inside he made himself comfortable and noticed the bed was quite large. It felt cold and lonely. He hummed an unknown tune and waited for sleep to claim him. When he finally fell asleep he was cuddling a pillow and in the middle of the bed.
In another room Conrad was sleeping soundly dreaming about sword fighting and Josak. Murata was in his own room channeling Shinou about who knows what and telling him about the pretty maids he had seen while Shinou murdered every maid in his mind.
Well I hope this chapter was good ^-^ next time we see the garden adventure and Yuuri's reaction. :D this is actually my first fanfic so I don't mind flames so long as they help me become a better writer Thanks!
