Yuuri was learning.
Today, for example, he learnt ten things.
1. He learnt that if he placed his hand on Wolfram's wrist, he could see a rippling tension spread across Konrad's skin.
2. He learnt that the 16th Maou had lasted only six days before choking to death on a fishbone.
3. He learnt that if he ran into Konrad while bathing, a heat spread across Konrad's face that had nothing to do with a blush.
4. He learnt that if he cycled his maryoku just so through the cardiac muscles, he could stop a stroke.
5. He learnt that if he 'accidentally' tripped down the stairs, Konrad's arms were warmer and brighter than the summer sun - and would take just a fraction too long to let go, leaving Yuuri burning.
6. He learnt with a wince of sympathy, that one of the stableboys was sporting a black eye and a fiancée.
7. He learnt that if he moved closer to Konrad and glanced swiftly, suddenly, into his eyes, Konrad could no longer meet them without an imperceptible shiver.
8. He learnt that when Gwendel was heading very fast in one direction, it was best to run and ask questions about Anissina's new invention later.
9. He learnt that the power possessing through him as the Maou was nothing to the power he felt when a strong man broke for him, breathing demandingly heavy kisses along his jaw, as a heated question was nipped against Yuuri's ear, nothing to the livid amber surge of his pulse in response to that plea…
10. He learnt that he quite enjoyed answering Konrad's questions, at some length, with reference to external sources, footnotes and frequently, incoherently poor grammar.
