A.N. Thank you very much to Princess Sin and blackirishhawk for the reviews!

The Yuuri/Wolfram side pairing starts in this chapter. :)

The next day as Conrart went on his morning run with King Yuuri, he thought about what he had read the day before. Once he had realized what the story was about, he had quickly left Yozak's room, taking the story with him. Then he had hurriedly stashed the story in one of his dresser drawers.

He still didn't understand why Yozak would write such a thing. Was it meant as a joke?

He had left the papers in his drawer until he figured out what to do with them. Burn them? Or maybe he could figure out a way to use the story to play a prank on Yozak?

Later he would read the rest of it. Purely out of curiosity of course! Maybe after he finished his morning run with Yuuri there would be enough time to head back to his room for a while.

Conrart was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice a tree root as he tripped over it and fell flat on his face.

"Conrad, are you okay?" Yuuri asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty." Conrart replied with a smile as he stood up and brushed the dirt off his uniform.

Yuuri looked at him skeptically. "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Conrart said.

Yuuri still looked unsure. "Well, maybe that's enough running for today."

Conrart had a sneaking suspicion that Yuuri sensed something was up. It would probably best if he took care of Yozak's story as soon as possible. It was proving to be much too distracting. "If that is all, your Majesty-" Conrart said as he prepared to leave.

"My name is Yuuri, Conrad!" Yuuri said indignantly.

"Yuuri." Conrart corrected before walking back towards the castle.

"Hey, Conrad, I brought back some baseball cards from Earth this time!" Yuuri said, his expression brightening as he apparently remembered something "Do you want to look through them now that we're done with our run?"

Conrart had a hard decision to make; look at baseball cards, or take care of Yozak's story. He thought for a minute. He really liked baseball. Then again, he should probably do something with the story. What if one of the maids found it? But he really liked baseball. Eventually baseball won out.

"Ohh, and look here's another one from the Red Sox." Yuuri said as he handed the baseball card to Conrart.

Conrart picked the card up carefully and looked at the picture on the front. Then he turned the card over to look at the statistics on the back.

"These are in English so I can't read them." Yuuri complained. "But you can read English, right, Conrad?" Yuuri asked hopefully.

Before Conrart could reply, the door to Yuuri's bedroom was opened with a loud thump and bang. Wolfram stood in the doorway, glaring at them. Wolfram had probably come to tell them that breakfast was ready. Conrart wondered why Wolfram was in such a bad mood today.

"Yuuri!" Wolfram shouted accusingly.

Yuuri jumped, scattering some of the cards that had been in his hand on the floor. Wolfram stomped over and picked a few up.

"Yuuri, who are these men?" Wolfram demanded suspiciously.

"They are baseball players, Wolfram." Conrart explained patiently.

Wolfram stared at the picture for a few minutes, and then blushed. "But why are they wearing those tight-fitting clothes?" he demanded.

"Those are baseball uniforms, Wolfram." Conrart explained.

"Hmmph! They should wear more appropriate clothing." Wolfram said.

"It is appropriate, Wolfram, for playing baseball." Yuuri argued.

"Well you shouldn't be staring at pictures of men in these uniforms. " Wolfram huffed. "It's not appropriate. And with my own brother too!"

Conrart decided to try and de-fuse the situation before it got worse. "If you would like a baseball uniform, Wolfram, I'm sure Yuuri could manage to bring one back from Earth sometime."

"Conrad…" Yuuri groaned as he face palmed.

Wolfram sputtered, turned red and stormed out of the room. "You are both WIMPS with your WIMPY BASEBALL!" Wolfram shouted before slamming the door.

"Don't call me a wimp!" Yuuri shouted back. He looked as if he was about to continue but then was interrupted by a large explosion that shook the castle.

"If you will excuse me, your Majesty." Conrart said before running off to help Gwendel escape from Anissina.

Conrart spent the rest of the day rescuing Gwendel from Anissina's lab and reassuring a sobbing Gunter that despite Wolfram's insinuations, Yuuri wasn't about to elope with some baseball player from Earth.

It was late by the time Conrart finally managed to return to his quarters. He lit a lamp, and opened the drawer that he had stashed Yozak's story in the other day. It wasn't there. Frowning slightly, Conrart scanned the room until he noticed a note on top of his dresser. Fearing the worst, he picked it up and read.

Captain,

Next time you go snooping in my room, would you mind putting things back where you found them?

Hope you enjoyed the story!

Love,

Yozak

Conrart paled, and he felt his stomach drop in shock. It was just as he had feared. What would he do now? More importantly, what would Yozak do?
