Summary: Being a Maou isn't easy especially when Yuuri has a problem with staring (stalking?) at a certain someone. Gwendal/Yuuri
Disclaimers: Me own nothing, me poor.
Author's note: Um, this is the first ever fanfic I have ever written. I tried writing fics before but it just all turn out bad and unpublishable. I cry myself to bed every time I read them. My English is horrible and I'm not good at writing stories. But I just had to write this one cause there isn't a single Gwendel/Yuuri fic out there and I am not pleased as this is my favorite pairing in the series. That and there are a lot of plot bunnies running in my head. Despite that this fic may suck, I would really appreciate for reviews. I want to know from you guys of what the flaws this fic has so I can improve on it. Thx for reading! And hopefully chapter 2 will be out before I even know it.
-------------------
Chapter 1:
I look outside the bright window and realize that I'm looking at him again… There he is in the courtyard doing his thing bossing people around. I don't know when all this staring frenzy started, but I just really can't help it, my eyes keep on wondering back to him no matter how hard I try not to. Heck, I even started to pay more attention towards Gunter's lessons just to keep my mind off him. Him… I hated him at first you know, but ever since the mateki incident, I see him in a whole different light. Well, he's like a lobster, with a hard exterior but a mushy squishy inside. Um… yeah, that was a rather bad comparison but whatever, I'm kind of hungry right now anyways. But really, that cute dolphin keychain proves it all! I still kept it on me, it pretty much became my lucky charm.
I gave a heavy sigh, why is Gunter always so enthusiastic about these lessons? He just keeps yapping and yapping and arg… I'm not paying attention to class again, not that I ever do, but blame it all on him, the man outside distracting me! There he is with that stone angry face like always. He really should smile more, he never does. But then again, there was that one time. I wish I could see that smile again, it always gives me this oggly feeling whenever I think about it. That sweet smile… and the tight ass. Ass…? Whoa there! Where the heck did that come from!? My perverted brain obviously. Since when do I like guy's asses? I wouldn't want to look at Conrad's ass in that way, and even though Wolfram is pretty feminine, I sure as hell wouldn't want to grope his ass. Though I wouldn't mind groping his… Gah!!
It's not attraction, it's just curiosity, I'm very curious about him all right. I'm a growing teenager with lots of curiosity towards other people of the same gender… And he just happens to be my closest target… Oh god, face it Yuuri, you're attracted to him. If he gives you one more of those rare smiles, you'll fall for him.
"Heika…" Huh? Did someone call me?
"Yuuri Heika!" Oh right, I was having a lesson.
"Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?? Your face looks really red!" Gunter shouted in panic while he strolls around me in circle. It's not that I hate him or anything, but he's really annoying sometimes. Wait, did he say my face was red? Crap, I was only thinking of him… Cover it up Yuuri, cover it up.
"I… I'm fine, really!" I stuttered.
"Are you sure? Would you like me to call for the healer?" He's relentless you know. "We should stop the lesson for today." But great at the same time.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, um… Can I take a walk? It's just really stuffy in here and I want some fresh air." Yes yes, a walk should help clear some thoughts, and I really need to be away from this place.
"Of course! I'll accompany you!" His enthusiasm never dies, does it?
"Um… Can I go by myself? I kindda wanna have some time alone." That's when he gave me the puppy face whenever I deny him of something. I feel bad whenever he does it, but its kindda funny to look at though.
"Okay, I'll be waiting here when your walk is done, have a safe walk!" He sobbed. And thus I fled the room, knowing that I won't be back for the rest of the day. Sorry Gunter, but I really can't stay there, trapped in my thoughts thinking of… Argg!!!
It's mid-day, even though I already had lunch, I'm still kind of hungry. Maybe I should go grab some refreshments. That is, if I remember the way to the kitchen. The halls are pretty busy at this time of the day, servants and guards are constantly hustling the place. I wish they would stop bowing at me whenever they see me. I'd never get use to all this formality, even when I'm a king to them. Maou huh, it's kindda cool being one. But as much as Conrad and the others say so, I'm not sure if I'm really doing a good job of it. Well, as long as I can help the people and him…
I shook my head. Why do my thoughts always lead back to him? He just pops into my head whenever I think of something. Oh man, and the lobster, I bet I'll think of him too the next time we have lobster for dinner, do they even have lobsters here? It might turn out to be some mutant like all the other creatures in this world… Oh well, where am I anyways, I've been walking in these corridors for quite a while now, just where the heck is the kitchen. Then here I am as I ended up in a dead end. "Great!" I've been living here for months already but I still don't know where the kitchen is. Hanging my head down in defeat, I turn around just to bump into someone.
Just when I realize who it was he spoke out with a harsh voice. "What are you doing here?"
"Gwendel!" Stepping back, I panicked, I seriously don't want to see him right now. Gwendal von Voltaire, the eldest son of cecilie, the commander of my army and tactician extrodinaire, did I mention that he's also the object of my… affection? I wondered what he was doing here, so that's what I countered. "What are YOU doing here?"
"That's my question first. But as for me, I followed you." He answered with annoyance. Great, I irritated him. But whoa, he followed me? Being such a smooth talker that I was, I then replied "Oh." Then looked down to hide my face, I probably looked like I have a bad fever right now.
He then asked again. "So what are you doing here?"
"Hungry… Kitchen…" Is all I can stutter out. Get a hold of yourself Yuuri!
He frowned. "It's located at the other end of the castle." A pause. "And you could have asked the servants to bring the food to you."
I could, but… "But I wanted to take a stroll too." I muttered. Why the hell am I being shy all of the sudden?
"Fine, I'll take you there." My eyes went wide. Was he trying to be nice? I think I'm blushing even harder now, and he's not even doing anything that would normally make people blush. Stop being so girly, he probably doesn't even like me that way, gotta act normal. As much as I love his company, this isn't going to work with my heart pounding like hell.
I took a deep breath and followed as I muttered a small thanks. So then we walked in silence, I could almost hear the crickets in the background.
Okay, gotta act normal and be my usual self. In which I talk a lot. "So…. Nice weather huh?" I mentally slapped myself after saying this, the weather!? I resulted in talking about the weather!? Well, I did get a reply though, a grunt. Then another period of silence.
"You should be in class. And why isn't Gunter with you?" Whoa, he taking the initiative of a conversation.
"Oh, I told him not to follow me." I said more merrily. "Gunter is nice and all, but he gets pretty annoying sometimes."
"Yeah." I blinked wordlessly as he agreed.
He looked back at me and I smiled goofily in return. He turned his head back to the front as soon as he saw me though. What's wrong with him now? Oh wait, my creepy goofy smile probably scared him. The rest of the trip was pretty much more silence.
As we reach the kitchen entrance, a loud screech came along. "YUUUUURII!!!" I turned around and saw Wolfram heading towards me like a mad chicken hen. Okay, what did I do now?
Wolfram seemed really annoyed for some reason. "Where the hell have you been?? Gunter said you went for a walk, and I've been looking for you for over an hour already!"
I blinked, it's been an hours already? "Uh… I was hungry so I was looking for the kitchen."
He then glared at me, and then at Gwendel. "For an hour… With Gwendel."
"Um, yeah?" I replied hesitantly, it felt like I've been caught cheating or something. Cheating on an exam! Mind you! Not a wife!
That's when he started having his temper tantrum. Here we go again. "What have you been doing with Gwendel for the past hour!!? You're cheating on me again!!!" I paniced, I'm caught!
"Wh…What!? We didn't do anything!!" I wish we did. The truth is we didn't, but my face just couldn't stop itself from lighting up.
"Liar!! I know there's been something going on between you two. You're supposed to be my fiancée!!"
"I'm not lying! Will you just calm down?"
"Yes you are lying! How could you do this when you already have me!!"
"Hey! I didn't mean to propose to you! I didn't even know that I did!" I blurted.
"What!? Are you saying that this was all a mistake!? Am I not good enough for you? So the truth is that you hate me?" Crap, he's starting to cry.
"Look., I didn't mean it that way. You're a great guy and…"
"And you should be happy with me!" He interrupted me.
"But…!!" This is never going to end.
"Fine! Stay with your Gwendel for all I care! I'll be in your room when you get bored of him!" Okay, this is going to end. And so it did with Wolfram stomping off the way he came from.
I sighed, he really could be childish sometimes. Mental note, find somewhere else to sleep in tonight. It's not that I don't like him, but just not in that way. Of course, who I see in that way is standing right beside me. That's when I realize that Gwendel was still there.
"Well, if you do not need anymore assistance, I'll be going now." His face was unchanged even after this charade that me and Wolfram supposedly just had. Oh wait, he's leaving, do something or he'll be gone. But what can I do; that arguement was already enough to scare him away. But as if by instinct, I held onto his sleeves before he could move away. He paused to look at me. His eyes seem to have softened a bit, looking at me almost affectionately. Who am I kidding, I'm just imagining all this cause I like fantasizing about the impossible.
Okay, gotta think of something to make him stay. "Um… Uh… Do you want food? Uh! I mean have a snack with me?"
"I'm not hungry." Damn.
"Really? I'm not hungry too, so wanna take a walk with me instead?"
"I have lots of work to do." Double damn.
"Can I follow you while you work? I promise I won't bother you. Please?" Okay, I'm really desperate right now. I tried my best puppy eyes impression.
"Don't you have classes to attend?"
"I'm doing this for the learning experiences as a Maou, for the better of my people!" He looked skeptical. "Pretty pretty please with me dancing naked on whip cream?" The heck!? I think I'm going to hide under the rock now.
"Whatever." Does that mean yes or go away? I'll just take that as a yes for now.
So I followed him everywhere. Patrolling, ordering people around, flower gazing? I have no clue what he was really doing anyways. All my attention was on him, not what he's doing, but him. I really like the way he ties his hair back like that, but then again, he looks just as good with it down. We never talked the whole time; I kept my promise to avoid bothering him. So all I did was look, look at him like I always did.
By the time he was done with whatever he was marching around the castle for, the sun was already setting. I followed him into his office where he settled down onto his desk doing the paperwork, I think he was doing my paperwork but that's not important right now. I felt kind of awkward just standing there so I sat in on the chair in front of his desk resting my head tiredly on the desk. Of course, I stared at him for a while but quickly closed it when he caught me staring. We haven't spoken to each other for this entire time, but I find this silence between us kind of comforting. I wouldn't know of what to talk about right now anyways. Sounds of his pen scribbling, the clock ticking, and my own soft breathing lured to me asleep.
My eyes jolted open when I felt someone touched my face. I looked up and saw someone standing over me. It was Gwendel, but this is the soft side of the Gwendel that smiled at me. Maybe I'm dreaming it, but he really is looking at me affectionately right now. He kneeled down and cupped my face, I lifted my head to where he was guiding. And before I can react, he leaned down and kissed me. Softly at first as if unsure, so I responded. And then the kiss grew deeper. I felt his tongue worm into my month when I slightly opened it. I've never French kissed before, in fact, this is actually my first kiss! Our kiss grew even deeper for the longest time, then we finally broke apart when we couldn't catch our breathes.
That's when it registered in my head. He kissed me, Gwendel kissed me! Oh my god oh my god! My face was flushed as he gazed at me in a way that makes my heart melt. He then turned his head to the side, looking like he was embarrassed.
"Sorry…" I gawked at him.
"I didn't mean to, I mean, oh forget it!" Forget it? What the hell?? But he's so cute when he's frustrated. I need to capture this before it escapes! I clapped both my hands onto both sides of his face, making him face me.
"Forget it?" I leaned forward with our faces so close that our noses were touching. "No fricking way…" Way to sound romantic Yuuri… Now his eyes are as big as mine. This time, it was my turn to do the kissing. It was pure bliss for me, that is, until someone barged into the office.
"Gwendel, it's dinner, do you know where Yuuri would… Oh, I guess you do…"
Chapter 1 END
Ending note: I'm sorry but I don't mean to bash Wolfram, in fact, I don't mean to bash anyone! It's not bashing, I'm just playing it out the way he would normally react to a situation like this :x By all means, I love him and everyone else in the series, it's just that this fic is a Gwendal/Yuuri fic! But all in all, like it, hate it? Review so I can know
