Summary: "You have been sighing a lot lately, Heika." Conrad pointed out.
Note: I'm pretty sure everyone knows this, but here we go. Nazukeoya means 'person who named me'. Sometimes Yuuri calls Conrad that when he doesn't call Yuuri by his name.

There was a rumor going around that Yuuri had a girlfriend. The gossipers talked about how he was always either daydreaming or dazed, so they figured there had to be a girl (or guy) in his life. Yuuri was, of course, oblivious. That is, until Wolfram decided to ask his fiancé directly about it.
"Yuuri, you cheater!" The blond stomped up to him, hands on his hips and lip curled in anger. Yuuri blinked and sat a pot of flowers down on a garden bench, giving Wolfram a confused look.
"Um?" Yuuri mentally sighed, figuring Wolfram was doing the usual "cheater" scenario.
"Who is she?! Or.. is it a he? I'll kill him!" Yuuri backed away hastily as a spark of flame shot out of Wolfram's hands, barely missing burning the hair at the top of his head into a crisp.
"Gya! What are you talking about?!" But Wolfram was already gone, presumably going to find the "man" in Yuuri's life.
Yuuri sighed, shook his head and headed after Wolfram to clear up the mistake. He wasn't going to tell Wolfram the real reason why he'd been daydreaming as of late, though. It wasn't like him to lie, but something like this couldn't be helped.
"Heika, are you looking for Wolfram?" Conrad was leaning against the glass door to the inside garden.
"Ah, Nazukeoya. Did you see where he went?" The older man chuckled at Yuuri's use of 'Nazukeoya' before replying.
"Sorry, I didn't."
"Ah, thanks anyway. I guess some rumor got around that I was cheating."
"You have been sighing a lot lately, Heika." Conrad pointed out.
"Ah... that's because... I miss Earth." He grappled at the lie he'd made up, and felt his face flush as he remembered what he'd really been sighing for. At Conrad's raised eyebrow, Yuuri knew the man didn't believe him either.
"Gah, I better go find Wolfram then." Yuuri rubbed the back of his head.
"Okay. If you ever need to talk, I'll always be here." Conrad smiled at him, and Yuuri's heart skipped a beat.
"...Thanks." He hightailed it out of there as fast as he could without looking like he was running away.
If only he knew, he wouldn't offer such a thing.
An image of Conrad flashed before his eyes. The man was naked and sweating, and his face showed such an expression of arousal that it made Yuuri go off in a daze. He had to shake his head several times to dislodge it and continue on his search. He thought he heard stifled, feminine giggles from behind him but dismissed it when he turned and no one was there. It was probably just his mind playing mean tricks on him again.
