Chapter 2
The next morning Yuuri woke up to an empty bed and he painfully remembered last night's events. "I should apologize to him. I hope he isn't too sad about last night." He sat up then jumped when he heard loud knocking on the door. Yuuri called out feeling nervous. He wasn't ready to confront Wolf just yet. "W-Wolfram?"
"No it's me Your Majesty." Yuuri sighed with relief when he heard Conrad's voice. He wasn't quite ready to face a emotionally distressed fire demon. "I'm here for our morning jog."
"I'll be out in a minute! Oh and Conrad!"
"Yes Your Majesty?"
"Call me Yuuri."
Chuckles a bit,"Yes Yuuri."
After changing into his jogging suit, Yuuri and Conrad left out to begin their run. After their daily excercise was over, they sat on a stoned bench to rest for a bit.
"Yuuri, are you alright? You seem a bit..distracted." "Huh? Uh..y-yeah I'm fine."Yuuri looked around, anywhere but at Conrad. He couldn't tell him that he broke his precious baby brother's heart now could he? Does it make him a bad person to want to keep Conrad in the dark so that their friendship isn't ruined? But, he couldn't hide it forever. Well how bad could it be? It's now or never. "Actually...um..last night me and Wolf had a pretty big fight."
"Really...What happened?"
"I uh, I sorta...don't be mad but I kinda broke off the engagement between me and Wolfram."
They both sat in silence. Yuuri took a peek at Conrad, who looked deep on thought, then he stood up.
"It was probably for the best. He can finally move on."
Move on?
"It's not like you loved him anyways."
Ouch."It's not like I hated being around him, I just couldn't stay engaged to him."
"You don't need to explain yourself Your Majesty, but I do think you should have annulled the engagement long ago when you knew you could never accept Wolfram's feelings."
"That wasn't my fault! I didn't break it off because I didn't want to hurt Wolfram's feelings!"
"It's okay Your Majesty, i'm sure you thought you were doing the right thing," he looks at Yuuri. "I have to go now. You should be ready to tell Gwendal and Gunter about terminating the engagement." With that Conrad leaves Yuuri behind.
"Why do I feel like I'm the bad guy now? This isn't fair." After a moment of silence Yuuri went back in to clean himself up and to change into his clean black uniform. At breakfast Gwendal, Lady Celi, Gunter, Greta and Wolfram sat at the table. The mere sight of Wolfram made Yuuri's stomach clench uncomfortably. 'I hope he's okay.' He sat at the head of the table and Greta sat on his right. She smiled brightly at him.
"Good Morning Papa Yuuri! Did you sleep well?!"
"Uh yeah," he lied, "Did you?"
"Oh yes! Papa Wolf came in and slept with me last night! Right Wolfram?!"
Wolfram smiled at Greta and gave her head a small pat. Yuuri glanced at Wolfram and was surprised to see no signs of sleepiness. No red, puffy, tearful eyes. No signs of being sad or hurt. Nothing. Did the argument last night really happen? Why didn't Wolfram look sad at all?! He was so upset last night! Did he get over him that quickly?
"-Highness? Your Highness?! WIMP!?"
"What? Huh?"
Wolfram rolls his eyes,"of course you'd answer to that. Don't you have something to announce to everyone?"
"Announce what?"
"You wimp! How could you already forget? Tell them that our engagement is over!"
Everyone's eyes all flew in Yuuri's direction. Lady Celi was the first to speak."Oh no! You don't want to marry my Wolfie?!"
"W-well-"
"Yuuri you don't love Wolfram anymore?!" Greta said through tear filled eyes.
"Greta don't cry, I just-"
"YOUR MAJESTY! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME!"
"Uh.."
"Is this true Your Majesty?" Gwendal asked sending a flicker of a worried glance at Wolfram. "If this is another one of those temporary 'break ups' then I-"
"It's not," Wolfram looked in Yuuri's direction. "He made it perfectly clear that he no longer wants me to be his fiancee, so it's over. He and I are no more than a King and his soldier."
"Are you certain? Is it really over?"
"Of course it is. Our engagement is officially over."
'He can't be serious. He's way too calm about all of this.' Yuuri slammed his hands on the table, stood up, grabbed Wolfram's hand, dragging him out of the room and into the hall. Wolfram roughly pulled away, crossed his arms and glared at him.
"What is your problem?"
"What's my problem? What's yours? Why aren't you sad or at the very least upset with me?"
Wolfram huffed and sent Yuuri a cold look."Why should I be sad? What? Did you expect me to look pitiful and fall into depression just because you don't want me?"
Yes."No but it would be nice if you looked like you were a little heartbroken."
"Look heartbroken?!" Wolfram gave Yuuri a look that sent terrifying shivers down his spine."YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD NEVER LOVE ME! YOU TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T WANT ME! AND NOW THAT YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU WANT ME TO CRY OVER YOU?!"
Yuuri shook his hands rapidly and backed into a wall."W-wolf calm down! I'm sorry that's not it! I-I just thought since you claimed to have loved me so much, you'd looked more depressed now that it's over."
"Claimed?" Now Wolfram was seething with rage. Smoke was coming out of his tightly fisted hands. "Now you're trying to say my love for you wasn't genuine because I'm not suffering the way you want me to?! Well guess what Yuuri I am suffering! You tore me to pieces when you told me you would NEVER want me! I feel like a fucking idiot waiting for you all this time! So yes Yuuri I'm hurt, i'm heartbroken, i'm fucking dying inside, but I'm going to ride this out with as much dignity I can muster! I'm sorry Your Majesty but you can't throw me off to the side and enjoy watching me suffer. I won't give you or anyone else the satisfaction."
Wolfram stormed off away from the dining hall and left Yuuri alone in the hallway. Yuuri stood there in shock and reviewed in his head how much of a jerk he must have sounded like.
"Jerk doesn't even begin to describe how terrible I was. Why do I always screw up so much? Wolf's right I am a wimp." He slid down on the wall he stood against and sat on the floor, covering his face in his knees.
