Of Woos and Chased.
Chapter 1.
'I've hooked, line and sinking…'
King Yuuri Shibuya, the twenty seven(?) king of Shin Makoku sat quietly in the garden, admiring the lovely view his kingdom can offer. Eyerything around him radiated calmness. To others who saw him, they will think that he too is enjoying the lovely day. But he did not.
Lately, Yuuri is having heart problems. His chest sometimes aren't able to function properly. It is nothing serious of course, but its enough to get him worried. Which is what happen to him at the moment.
The truth is.. it all started because of a man. That said man has a warm brown eyes and brown hair. What so special about him? Simple. Yuuri is head over heals in love with him, Conrad Weller. The man who was with him through tick or tin.
' Damn him ' thought Yuuri. He gave out a frustrated sigh then growl. ' Damn you Conrad for leading my thoughts in circle. Damn you for making me ache, my chess tighten, my inability to breathe steadily and properly. Damn you for being so kind and gentle and drop dead handsome. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT '.
Since when Yuuri have this feelings he never know. But he suspect it from the beginning, since the moment he arrived at this alternative world. Unfortunately, at the time it was inconvenient of him to act on those feelings because 1) he is very unsure at leading a kingdom. 2) because of the instability of the kingdom, he need to stabilize and be sure that they will have peace for a very long time. 3) he was very naïve. 4) he WAS engaged to Wolfram.
'Thankfully the engagement's over'. Yuuri thought with a shudder. 'Wolfram is very attractive. But the blonds temper really is a push over'.
Three years ago, when Yuuri was seventeen, he has a huge row with Wolfram. It was nothing new with Wolfram extremely jealousy, but to endure them every single day is very tiresome. Normally he, Yuuri, will bare with the ridicules assumption. But one day, during dinner, Wolfram jealousy gone too far. Yuuri, whose patience has finally ended, exploded and retaliated back at Wolfram. Most of the word he said he prefer to not repeat them. He remember every word he said that day cause Gunter to back away from him, Greta to hide behind Gwendal, who was schocked silence in his seat, both Cecilie and Annisina was speechless and wide eyed with disbelief, and Conrad just sat there, paler, and cringed at his every word.
So during that dinner, the engagement with Wolfram ended. Yuuri's relationship with Wolfram continue to be very stormy for a long time, until Gwendal decided to take Wolfram with him to patrol on the borders. Once they've been away from each other for two months, then only Yuuri's anger begin to cool down.
" Your Majesty?"
Yuuri turned to face his most trusted bodyguard and the object of his affection, Conrad.
" Conrad, how many times must I tell you to just call me Yuuri?"
Conrad just smile his usual smile. He wont tell anyone this but he keeps calling Yuuri, Your Majesty, just so to make Yuuri looked peeved. Conrad actually find it quite appealing.
Yuuri get up from his spot and start to head back inside the castle, Conrad at his heels.
" How was your training went Conrad?" asked Yuuri. Being near Conrad set his heartbeat to quicken at an alarming speed.
Conrad, who was busy admiring Yuuri's features -or ass- from behind quickly reply " It went well ". perhaps a little too fast
Yuuri suddenly halted and turn to face Conrad. It prove to be a mistake. Conrad looked like a fish out of water. Yuuri wonder why. He had feeling the Conrad was eyeing him just now, and hearing that his reply was too quick just now, Yuuri intended to know why.
" Conrad- what were you doing behind my back"
Conrad reaction was exactly how Yuuri wanted it to be. Yuuri smirked. He was floored and speechless, red face and wide eyes. His hand, as Yuuri can see, was shaking and sweating.
' So he does have feelings for me!'
Contrary to Wolfram believes, Yuuri was not a fool nor a wimp. He is actually very observant and intelligent. He suspected that Conrad has feelings for him for a long time, but didn't act upon it cause his engagement to Wolfram. To have Conrad acting like this, proves that his assumption is true and his feelings is return.
Yuuri slowly walks toward Conrad. And Conrad, who was still brain dead for being caught, start to back away. He prayed to Shinou that he get out of this mess. But no one seems to listen, because Conrad finds that he was trapped between Yuuri and a wall. Before he can get away, Yuuri pinned him against the wall, with his body being pressed to Conrad's.
' Shinou help me ' thought Conrad. He really is uncomfortable with the situation he lend himself into. And then way Yuuri looked at him isn't a helping matter. Yuuri is as tall as him now, and the position they are in, make his thoughts run wild.
" Conrad…"
" Yes Yuuri? "
" Am I right in thinking that you were checking me earlier, and from the way you looked, you have feelings for me?"
" Well, err-" Conrad stammered. He never stammered before. He is a soldier. And whatever Yuuri is doing to him makes his reasonable thoughts jump out the window. However before he can answer the questions, he was saved by Greta.
" Papa!"
Yuuri immediately released Conrad and face Greta with a big smile. Greta immediately hugs Yuuri and said that he is needed in his studies. Conrad took this time to leave.
If Conrad even bother to turn and look back, he will see that Yuuri is watching him with amused yet hungry eyes.
' You can run, my dear Conrad. But I'm coming for you. You can not avoid me forever. You will be mine'.
