Hello everyone!
This is a continuation of "My Fondest Memories", so if you haven't read it, go to my profile and read it first. (It's very short, so it won't take up much of your time.) It was a thought I couldn't get out of my head, and what do you know...even after I finished writing it...it wouldn't leave me alone. I posted a pole on the last story...but i got no feedback :( So I just wrote more of what I thought fit. There is still a pretty open ending, so if you want to answer the pole please do so in a review!
Reviews are very important to every author. We all need encouragement and inspiration, so please please please review!
Ch. 1 A Portrait?
He is so…pretty. If it weren't for his attitude, everyone would mistake him as a girl. Long shiny blonde hair, slim body, creamy porcelain skin without imperfections…Perfect emerald green eyes. Wolfram really does look like a girl.
His mother was right that first day we met. I wonder…if we had never been accidentally engaged…would there be suitors coming over from everywhere trying to gain his affections? I'm sure that girls would like him, but would guys try to catch him as well?
I wonder what type of guys Wolfram prefers…Probably someone manly, someone to compliment his feminine looks. I'm sure he never would have set his sights on someone like me…I'm all thin and gangly. I wonder if Wolfram really would rather be with someone else…someone other than me.
What would I do if he wanted to be with someone else? What if our engagement never happened…I know that he would probably be more happy by now. All I've ever done is hurt his feelings.
"What are you doing Yuuri?" the king jumped when he heard a voice behind him. He knew it was Wolfram.
"Eh! N-nothing!" Yuuri stuttered as Wolfram took a seat next to him.
"Nothing? You've been staring at your hands for an hour now. What are you thinking about?" Wolfram inquired.
"Uhm…just thinking…about stuff." Yuuri replied dumbly. Wolfram rolled his eyes.
"Could you be any more vague?" Wolfram retorted sarcastically. Yuuri scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"Just stuff Wolf, nothing you need to worry about." Wolfram crossed his arms across his chest in an annoyed manner. Yuuri just smiled in his normal, panicky way, and avoided the question by asking Wolfram about his day. The blonde let the subject drop, and started telling Yuuri the uninteresting tale of his day.
Whew…I'm glad he didn't press me about my thoughts. How could I tell him that I had been thinking that he looks like a girl…He would kill me. Hmmm…He really is beautiful though…his voice is sort of melodic like a woman's…
"What do you think?" Wolfram finished his tale. Yuuri blinked in confusion, not having listened to anything the boy was saying. Wolf's eyes narrowed in slight anger.
"Yuuri! Have you been ignoring me?" He correctly accused his fiancé. Yuuri looked down sheepishly.
"I'm sorry Wolf… I was just thinking about something. What did you say?" Wolfram sighed and shook his head.
"Never mind…it wasn't really important." Yuuri blinked…He didn't yell at me for not listening. He doesn't let things go like this very often…I wonder if something is wrong.
"Ne…Wolfram, I'm sorry I've just been pretty spacey today. What did you ask me? I really want to know." He smiled his normal crooked smile and Wolfram melted. The blonde leaned back on his hands and looked towards the sky.
"I was just asking if you would approve of me painting you…here in the gardens. Mother told me today that she wants a portrait of the demon king for the grand foyer, and has asked me to do it. I was asking if you would like to be painted here in the gardens since you spend a lot of your alone time out here."
Why would Lady Cecilie want Wolfram to paint me? Doesn't she know that he has no talent in painting? She must have seen the so-called portraits of me that Wolfram has painted before. This could only turn out badly…this painting would be going in the grand foyer? Oh no…
"Uh…She wants you to paint it?" Yuuri questioned him. Wolfram looked offended.
"You think that I am incapable of accomplishing this task?" Wolf said sharply.
"N-no! It's not that…it's just that…uh…your…style? Of painting is…well…uhm…"
"Just say it Yuuri! You think I am inadequate!" Wolfram was standing now. Staring Yuuri down, daring him to say it.
"No…it's uhm…fine, you can paint me here Wolf" Yuuri gave up with a sigh. Oh well…I've sat through an hour of him painting me before…I might as well just do it. At least I won't have to go to classes.
Wolfram snorted triumphantly.
"Ok then, since it will be a large picture, it will take longer than normal. Plus this one is going to be placed in the open, so I will have to take more time. I will not allow you to see it until it is finished. I'll talk to Gwendal and Gunter tomorrow and have them let you out of classes and office work tomorrow." The blonde concluded, then turned and walked away. Yuuri sighed.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day…
Yes....I know this chapter is short, but I had to break it up from the others because (as you will see) each of my chapters tells a different story that leads up to the finished product. I just figured it was time for Yuuri to start learning more about his fiance, so the next few chapters will be bonding time for our favorite protagonists!
I'll upload one more chapter today, the others will come shortly after. I have up to chapter 4 written. Please answer the pole on "My Fondest Memories" if you can.
Review please! That little green button is just calling your name, I just know it....
