Confession ch.1
By Loveless1617
Author's Note: On merely a whim, I decided to write yet another story (which I also probably won't being updating on a consistent basis unless someone keeps reminding me to). I've been meaning to write a story like this, so I figured why not now (haha, even though I still haven't updated my other stories...). Anyways, yeah, enjoy~
Chapter I
Dear Yuuri,
I'll try not to make this letter too long...
So please read what I have to say carefully, okay?
...
In the beginning, I didn't like you.
Despite you being the new Maou, at the time, I really disliked you.
I thought you were ignorant, dense, and even stupid-
Though, I still think you are.
I wondered why some half human, half demon like you became the next ruler,
when you, yourself, didn't even know why.
...
That was until you slapped me
and, essentially, asked for my hand in marriage.
...
At that exact moment, I remember thinking
'what the hell does this idiot think he's doing?',
though I'm grateful, now, that you've done it.
...
Because, then, I might not have slowly fallen in love with you;
although, it's not that surprising that I did.
...
You ended up being an amazing ruler with powers that matched Shinou's.
Though you're a bit thick-headed and stubborn,
you'd always put others first, when it came to safety.
And despite not having the proper education, you always knew what to do in danger.
So in that way, you were reliable.
...
You're also really sweet when you want to be.
You have a tendency to make people smile, even when it's hard to.
And I really love that about you.
...
That's why I realized that you're the kind of person
I want in my life.
You're exactly the one I want.
...
But, of course, you always refused to see if our relationship could work.
And I don't blame you-
Honestly, I don't.
I mean, I had no reason to.
...
Because maybe, just maybe, I got a little obsessed with the idea of love,
and the fact that I might be in love with you.
I got carried away, I guess.
But I don't want to doubt how I felt.
...
I'm in love with you, Yuuri;
I love you.
...
I know that this'll only be a nuisance,
(the fact that I keep professing my love to you)
when I know you're getting married tomorrow to your new wife-to-be,
but I won't make things difficult for you.
...
I don't want to make it seem like I want something from you anymore,
but I want to keep writing what I want to say.
Even if it's hindering you in any way,
this is the last time I'll ever be able to tell you
anything and everything I've felt for the last three years.
...
Truthfully, I don't remember what I wanted to say anymore.
I planned to write memories that were important to me,
but I can only think of how I felt these past few days:
I'm sorry that I just wasn't enough when you needed and wanted
someone by your side.
I'm sorry I lashed out on you on the day you told me you were marrying
the woman carrying your child,
because you had to have some idea of the consequences of sleeping with her.
You had to know what you were getting yourself into when you slept with her.
And that meant that you knew that you'd just break me that much more...
...
I'm not noble enough to end this letter on a good note.
So I won't.
I'll say what I have to say.
...
I'm upset that you chose her over me.
For all the years you've known me,
you threw it all away
when it came to a woman you barely knew.
It shocked me to think that this was all I was worth to you.
I felt defeated, torn, hurt, and messed up.
...
I'm scared, Yuuri.
I've never felt like this before.
No one's ever hurt me this much before.
And I don't want to believe that you would.
...
So, I'll be leaving for awhile.
Probably a very long time to some far away place...
...
I'm sorry I can't congratulate you on your wedding.
Honestly, I hope something goes wrong,
but ultimately, there are others to protect you in case something happens.
...
It bothers me that I'm so easily replaced, but I'm done now.
Goodnight, Yuuri.
And goodbye.

"Are you ready?" He asked Wolfram, as he finished writing his last few words. Wolfram nodded in despair. He signed his name at the bottom of the page and folded the letter three times. He slipped it in an envelope and placed it at the very top of the stacks of paper in Yuuri's office. The room was dark, and stayed that way as Wolfram and his partner quietly fled the castle.
His partner, Klaus, was a man he met just a few days before Yuuri revealed the news. Klaus had profusely announced his love for him and Wolfram refused, until Yuuri announced his marriage to Lady Elsie and the annulment of his engagement to Wolfram. As cowardly as it was, when he cried in Klaus' arms, he accepted Wolfram. He told him that even if it was just to get back on his feet, he can use him as much as he wants until he's recovered.
Wolfram told him that it was unfair to him to use him like that, but Klaus only smiled.
Wolfram had no plans of using him like that.
He knew what it felt like to be pushed aside, even when you'd continuously love someone, only to have your heart broken in the end.
He promised Klaus that he'd leave with him to wherever he wanted and asked to be with him. Klaus rejoiced at Wolfram's acceptance.
But it wasn't because of pity or out of guilt that Wolfram chose to be with him.
Klaus really had been there for him for the past few days, when he really needed someone to rely on while he bared through the pain he would have otherwise had to face on his own. He was lucky to have him there. Plus, Klaus was a strong, dependable man from a noble family and not to mention, with good looks-he had dark brown hair that was long enough to cover most of his dark, blue eyes, with a tall and muscular build. He was exactly the type of man Wolfram might have fallen in love with before he met Yuuri.
Klaus wrapped his body with his jacket, one that was much too big on Wolfram. Despite being the summer, the night was freezing cold. He smiled a little as Klaus struggled to put the jacket on for him, but blushed when he noticed that Klaus noticed too. He kissed him gently on Wolfram's cheek, whispering into his ears, "It's the first time I've seen you smile..." Wolfram looked down.
"It's probably all crooked and weird..." He whispered in self-doubt, but Klaus shook his head.
"It's so pretty," he kissed him again, but this time on his lips. "I just can't wait until you've really smiled." He murmured.
"..."
Klaus patted his head.
"Let's go now." When they reached the stables, which were now unguarded with a bit of bribe, he pulled out two horses-one of which was Wolfram's white horse and the other, which was a shiny, black stallion.
Wolfram went up on his horse, brushing his mane while gently shushing him to keep his horse quiet. When Klaus got on his horse, they quietly trotted out the back gates to the entrance of a forest.
"If we leave now, we won't be coming back for awhile." Klaus reminded Wolfram.
"...I know." He managed to reply.
Klaus nodded, no longer pestering him about any final goodbyes, which, Wolfram had left without any.
"Alright then, we're leaving. We'll get to my countryside mansion in a few days." Klaus said, before he galloped through the forest, now that they were at a further distance from the back gate. Wolfram took one last look behind him.
He never thought that he'd ever have to leave his home for a long time, but he did.
And now, another two years later, he knew that he still wasn't going to go back.
Author's Note: *sighs*
I really did plan to make this just a oneshot with that one letter, but it ended up being another series- I hate when I keep getting ideas while I'm writing XP. But really, I only plan to make this a short series- maybe around 5-6 chapters or so, so I'll try to quickly finish it up. Keep reading for the continuation of story~
And please review~
Thanks for reading!
