Yay! I feel so acomplished getting this story updated so quickly! Hope everyone enjoys this installment!
Wolfram noticed Gwendal's eye twitch; he didn't know how his brother could put up with watching his lover grope and idol-worship another. They were currently outside in the gardens enjoying their lunch, when Yuuri had once again managed to amaze Gunter.
Gwendal sighed and sipped at his tea, while Gunter continued to fawn over Yuuri. After all these years, Wolfram still couldn't understand how Gwendal ignored Gunter's childish behavior; not let it affect their relationship at all. If Wolfram had been Gunter's lover, both Yuuri and Gunter would have been incinerated years ago.
Wolfram watched his eldest brother, with his calm manner as he continued to discuss with Conrad the possibility of switching the patrols that evening.
"Daddy! Come play with me!" Wolfram turned to see Greta run up to Yuuri to relieve him of Gunter's affections. He also saw the wink that passed between the two as Yuuri went over to where Greta and Beatrice had been playing.
Conrad got up from the table, excusing himself to go and meet with Yozak.
"I'll you later as well, brother. Gunter." Wolfram said excusing himself to wander over to see what Yuuri and Greta were up to.
As he wandered away he carefully glanced over his shoulder and watched as Gunter slid into the seat next to Gwendal and grasp the general's hand.
The eccentric, fan-boyish façade was now gone from the silver-haired demon's face as he glanced at Gwendal with the warmest expression. And Gwendal looked back; both of them now transfixed with each other.
Gwendal leaned, and kissed his lover and Wolfram felt the lead weight within his heart grow heavier. He also felt his cheeks flush, feeling ashamed to intrude on his brother's moment.
But he knew Gwendal wouldn't care if anyone saw nor did Gwendal care if Gunter showed affection to another…at the end of the day, Gunter was Gwendal's and Gwendal was Gunter's. There was no need for jealousy or insecurity.
Wolfram turned quickly, almost breaking into a run. But why should he run? So he could get to the top of the hill faster? To be reminded yet again, that Yuuri still didn't accept him?
The sick feeling Wolfram usually felt when he saw a pair of lovers, settled again in his stomach. Why couldn't he have what Gwendal and Gunter or Conrad and Yozak had?
He turned again to look at Gwendal, who now looked content with Gunter leaning against his shoulder. What must that be like, Wolfram thought, to have love. To have a lover that trusted you and you trusted them. To love someone and to know that no matter what happened during the day, that at night they would be beside you in bed.
Why couldn't he have that?
He asked himself that every single day. Why couldn't he have Yuuri's love? Why did he have to hurt?
The blonde growled. He felt sick. He felt angry at himself. He didn't mean to act so childish; to be envious of his brothers. After the stress of wars; the bloody battles, the loss of family and comrades, Gwendal and Conrad deserved to have love.
Wolfram resisted the urge to burn something. He knew if anyone saw him now, he's be living up to be the "little lord brat" that everyone expected him to be. Even though, at that moment he was close to having a tantrum. And over what? That his brothers were happy? That Gunter and Yozak had returned Gwendal's and Conrad's love?
No. Despite what he was feeling inside, Wolfram refused to be so childish. To be envious of his brothers' happiness was too selfish…even for him.
He forced himself to take a few calming breaths and continued his walk towards Yuuri and Greta.
He couldn't stop himself though, from looking once more at the couple still seated at the lunch table. Gwendal was looking down at Gunter with the most affectionate gaze Wolfram had ever seen.
The blonde prince turned quickly as his stomach knotted yet again, and wished that one day Yuuri would look at him with the love and adoration that Gwendal showed to Gunter.
Yay another one done! Hope you all liked this one. I am so excited that I was able to included Gwendal x Gunter in this one. Gwenter is my favorite pairing after Yuuram. I know Gwendal was kinda out of character but I would like to believe that when he and Gunter are alone that they are lovey-dovey...Anyway, I'll see you all next week. I am still trying to decide if I want this set to end happy or sad...I love Wolfram and I want him to be happy, but its because Wolf's my favorite character that I want to torture him (sick, huh?). Oh well I got three more weeks to decided if I want it to be a "happy ever after" kinda set...descisons decsions...;P
