Okay, you're almost done Yuuri. Just shake their hands and you'll be done.

"I-it was nice meeting you b-both," I stated. Now that's embarrassing. Both men in front of me were beautiful like most of the Mazoku I have met since the first incident with the toilet in the girl's bathroom. Both tall, both handsome, both had rings, a… and both were holding each others' hands.

"It was our pleasure, Your Majesty," One said in a deep honorable voice, while grabbing my outstretched hand with a firm shake. My stomach seemed to shake with it. The other put his hand on my shoulder. I shivered.

"Don't forget about us when you send out the wedding invitations for you and that adorable Wolfram von Bielefeld."

Normally, I would have decided that kind of relationship with my angel-faced, hot-headed accidental fiancé, but even though my protests of me being straight are strong, it wasn't stronger than this discomfort I was feeling now. So I nodded stupidly and waved them good-bye.

After they left, Conrad handed me a glass of water which I accepted gratefully.

"You're still not used to it yet, are you?" He inquired with concern.

I knew what he meant, but I didn't want to bring it up; so instead, I played clueless.

"What do you mean, not used to it? I'm fine with having people visit. "I took a sip of my water.

"I meant men… who love men." I swallowed hard. He had to bring it up, didn't he…?

"I think it's gotten worse…" That was the truth. I may accept Mazoku and humans, and every other species known to man, but when it comes to gay men, I can't confront them with much grace at all.

"You'll have to figure it out soon; it's common here," He said this without even removing the smile from his face.

"I know, but what can I do?!" I had no clue what to do. Wasn't it normal for me to be a little wary of gay men? I was overreacting a little though, for I had slammed my glass on the table a little too hard, and I could feel my face redden. I waited for Conrad to tell me that I'll figure it out one day, that everything was fine and I didn't have to change anything. But instead he said,

"Maybe you should talk to Wolfram."

"Wolfram! Why?" That made no sense! Of all the people, how would Wolfram help?

"He is your fiancé, after all," Not that again, "plus, he's better at fixing problems." He picked up the glass and started to walk out of the room. "Good luck, You Majesty."

"… It's Yuuri…"

After pacing back and forth about 50 times, I decided it was worth a try even though he was going to laugh me out of the kingdom. Wolfram was in the garden with Greta. She was running around between chasing butterflies and speaking to Wolfram. Every time she'd run of to him, he'd smile and laugh with her until she ran back to chase them again. His big emerald eyes looked on with love as he sipped his tea with his usual superior prince manner. I almost felt jealous of Greta, for I've only received that sweet smile a few times. It really is too bad he's not a girl.

"Yuuri!" Greta jumped into my arms and caught me by surprise. I saw Wolfram urn and look. His expression turned from surprised to annoyed. My heart sank.

"Hi sweety, are you and Wolf having fun?" I smiled down at my beautiful human daughter. She smiled back at me with a nod of her head. It's wonderful how close Greta and Wolfram have gotten.

"We were having a great time, but it's been ruined because you showed up, making me wonder why you're not in your lessons." Way to go, Wolfram. I was just having a moment with our – I mean my – daughter. Wolf crossed his arms and looked down on me. Wait a second. I was sure I had an inch or two on him this morning…

"You should be working on your reading and writing. I won't have you slacking off!"

"I asked Gunter for a day off" I replied, setting down Greta so I could try to meet him eye to eye, "I have something to ask you…" Then something happened. All of a sudden, I felt my hands start to sweat and my heart speed up. Was this because of Wolfram?
"Well?" He started to tap his foot impatiently. Wouldn't this be awkward? Especially with Greta around.

"You know, it can wait 'till tonight after we tuck Greta in, and then we can talk… Not that it's that important…" I stopped myself from continuing my rambling and turned to run inside. "Bye Wolf, bye Greta!"

"Wolf, why is Yuuri acting so weird?" Greta asked insistently. The blonde Mazoku put his hand on her head and rustled her playfully.

"I don't know, I just hope you follow my examples, not his."
