Title: Trust is a weakness
Chapter 1: Betrayal (Uragiri)
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Kyou Kara Maou TT
Summary: Trust is a weakness that should not be taken advantage of because it hurts deeply when the one you love betrays that trust. So far, the relationship between Yuuri and Wolfram has been steady and Yuuri hasn't been denying their engagement as often. However, during a party Wolfram sees something he shouldn't have. On the verge of tears, Wolfram ponders suicide and sinks into a great depression. As if that weren't enough, an upcoming war breaks out between Shin Makoku and a neighboring human country. Can Yuuri save Wolfram and Shin Makoku or will he be able to save one or the other? Angst, dark chapters ahead.
Wolfram's POV
After waiting for about an hour for Yuuri to show up, I decided to look for him. He was taking too long and I was getting bored at the party anyway. A little while ago, Konrad went to look for him since a lot of people were asking for Yuuri, but he hasn't come back yet. Where the hell could they be?
I looked for them for so long and almost everywhere on the first floor, but they weren't there. So finally I decide to check our bedroom. I noticed the door was slightly opened and the light was on. So that's where he is. I went to knock on the door until I heard voices. I couldn't hear what they were saying though. I peeked in and saw Yuuri sitting on the bed and Konrad standing in front of him. Konrad leaned down and kissed Yuuri and Yuuri allowed it. No, how could he? Yuuri's my fiance and Konrad's my brother. Why would they do this to me? They both know how much I care for Yuuri. I'm always calling Yuuri a cheater but to find out it's actually true? No, this can't be. I must be dreaming or someone's playing a horrible joke on me. So many questions came to my mind at once. Then I saw Konrad push Yuuri down on the bed on his back and deepen the kiss. I didn't know what I should do but I know I've seen enough. So I ran away from that scene as fast as I could. Tears started to sting my eyes and threatened to fall but I wouldn't allow 'em. My vision was soon blurred but I had to get away.
I made it to my room and slammed the door shut. I leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the floor. I pulled my legs close to my chest and burried my face as I started to cry. 'Yuuri.' Was the last thing I remeber saying before I fell asleep.
Normal POV
The next morning, Wolfram woke up in his bed. Confused as to how he got there, he looked around but didn't see anyone. Then the scene from the night before flashed before his eyes and his eyes welled up with tears again. The door opened and Yuuri walked in with a concerned look on his face.
"Oh you're awake. How are you feeling?" He asked worridely. Wolfram sat up and tried the best he could to avoid Yuuri's gaze. "Fine. Why? I'm not sick." He replied just barely above a whisper. "You were asleep on the floor when we found you. What happened? Why were you there?" Wolfram didn't answer and Yuuri sighed. Just then, Konrad walked in. "Oh, Wolfram you're awake. How are you feeling?" Wolfram turned to glare at his older broth- no, Sir Weller. "Stop asking me that. I'm fine!" He got up quickly and put on his shirt and blue coat and ran out of the room. "I wonder what's bothering him." Yuuri said as he got up and looked at Konrad who shook his head.
Later that day, Yuuri was surprisingly freed from his duties at the office. He was outside with Konrad playing Baseball as usual. Greta was sitting nearby with beatrice and watched. Wolfram was inside the castle and just happened to look out the window nearby. He saw the two playing together. "Dammit, Yuuri." He said outloud. 'I knew he had some feelings for Konrad. Those two are always together. I noticed all the signs but I wanted to ignore it. I wanted to give Yuuri the benefit of the doubt even though I always call him a cheater. Why would he do this? I guess the proposal he made to me was an accident after all just like he said it was. He doesn't want to be with me, he wants to be with Konrad.' As Wolfram thought this and more, he became angry and very depressed. Anyone would if they found out their fiance was cheating on them with their older brother. But now, Wolfram can't and will not think of Konrad as his brother anymore. His hands clenched into fists and tears poured from his eyes. He absent mindedly punched the glass and it broke. Startled by his own actions, Wolfram came back to reality and ran when Yuuri called him, asking if he's okay.
He locked himself in his room and pulled out a pocket knife that he had found in one of Yuuri's shirt pockets awhile back. He took it just in case he would need it and it was much easier to carry around, ready for use at any time. He pulled up his sleeve and let the cold blade touch his skin. He's done this a few times before when he felt Yuuri was ignoring him or 'cheating' on him.
Immediately, he slid the blade violently down his wrist. He shuttered as the blood spilled out and the pain shot up his arm. Even though it was painful, he didn't wince. He was used to doing this by now. He kept slashing his wrist until he was satisfied with the outcome. The physical pain had finally overpowered the mental pain. He'd always stop when that happened. It got his mind off of his mental pain. To Wolfram, mental pain was much more painful then physical especially when it involved Yuuri. He was a fighter after all. Of course he could handle physical pain. He stared at his wrist and watched the blood pour out. He covered the re-opened wounds with his other hand and moved into the bathroom to wash off the blood. He walked out to his bed and pulled out bandages from the drawer. The wounds were still bleeding and it dripped onto the white sheets on the bed. "K'so." He swore silently to himself. Someone knocked on the door and Wolfram immediately put the blanket over the bloodstained sheets.
Yuuri and Konrad walked in and Wolfram had just finished covering up his wounds. He didn't want them to see it since you could tell it wasn't from the broken glass of the window. "Wolfram, are you okay? Why did you do that?" Yuuri ran up to Wolfram and grabbed his arm to look at it. Wolfram winced as the pein went through his arm and violently pulled away. "I'm fine. I didn't even realize what I was doing, I'm sorry." He looked away. Yuuri sighed. "You've been acting weird all of a sudden. If something's bothering you, you know you can talk to me about it, right?" Yuuri told him as he put a comforting arm around Wolfram. Wolfram pushed his arm off and yelled, "Talk to you?! Why the hell would I talk to you of all people? You're the last person I would talk to. You and Sir Weller!" And with that he ran out. "Wait Wolfram. What did we do?!" Yuuri called after him. "Well, atleast we know he's mad at us. But I wonder why?" Konrad looked confused. Yuuri was about to run after Wolfram when Konrad stopped him. "Yuuri, let him go. Let's leave him alone for awhile. Let him talk to us when he calms down a bit." Yuuri shook his head sadly and let Wolfram run off.
Later that night, Wolfram walked quietly around the castle trying to get to his room without being noticed. He hoped no one would see him and that no one was waiting for him in his room. About to turn the corner, he noticed Yuuri and Konrad were there, talking. No, they weren't talking. They were laughing and having a good time. 'Why are they laughing now of all times? After what's happened and they're laughing? So before when they were asking me if I was okay, it was all an act to make me think they care. They don't give a damn about me. If they did, if they cared at all, they'd be looking for me instead of laughing. Yuuri doesn't care at all for me. All he cares about is Konrad.' At this thought, tears rolled down Wolframs cheeks and he ran the opposite direction to his room as quickly as possible. As he ran there, the thoughts kept playing over and over in his mind like a broken record player and it made him grow more and more depressed by each passing thought.
Arriving at his room, he went in and locked the door. Then he ran to the bathroom and locked it as well. Looking frantically in the medicine cabinet for the pocket knife, he knocked everything out. When he found it, he pulled up the sleeve of the unwounded arm and began cutting violently. With each slash he pictured Yuuri's smiling face and cried even harder because it was a false smile. One he only received because Konrad got the heart warming, loving smiles. He would never be loved by Yuuri no matter how much he cared for him. "Yuuri doesn't... Love me... He loves... Konrad. Not... Me. It'll never... be me. Never." Wolfram choked between sobs. A few minutes later, Wolfram stopped and washed his arm. He pulled the sleeve over his arm and held it there. He couldn't bandage it because they would find out what he's been doing and theyll never leave him alone about it. He walked slowly into his dark room. He felt his legs weaken and leaned against the wall near the window and slowly slid down. He cupped his face in his hands and cried softly into them. "He'll never have the feelings I have for him." He whispered. His heart ached so painfully it was unbearable as it was unbelievable. That night, Wolfram cried himself to sleep. This was his first time experiencing betrayal.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short. Personally, I don't like this chapter very much. It went at a too quick of a pace. I'll slow it down. I just needed a way to start it off and it came out sucky. But I promise to make up for it in the other chapters. Please continue to read. Review! All reviews are appreciated.
