Well hello again, as I said, I have this story already written, so I'll be updating really quickly, whenever I find the time to spell check a chapter.
R & R guys!

Chapter 2: Wolfram's POV
Yuuri is sitting on one of the infirmary beds, his right side is facing me, so I don't know the actual state of his wound. I think he's doing that on purpose.
This morning, when I finally understood what had happened I almost felt like crying. At first I thought someone had gotten inside the castle and attacked Yuuri, but that was really unlikely, given he was looking at me with such a relaxed, almost moronic looking face. He does that sometimes, when I'm sleeping, I can feel him watching me. It's kind of creepy, but I like it. It means he is no longer indifferent towards me.
He looks at me, his face is so swollen he can't really bring himself to smile, but I know he's smiling at me, I can see it in his eyes.
I take a closer look at his lips, they seem to be a little bruised too, but they are beautiful all the same, I really love those lips, even if they are not meant for me. Right now they look swollen, like if he had been kissing someone. Some unspeakable thoughts go through my mind...
Wait... did I just sound a little like Günter back there?, and I'm beginning to think I'm staring. Now I'm just scaring myself.
Gisela just walked through the door, I thank Shinou in my thoughts, because I just noticed Yuuri was staring right back at me.
"Dear Shinou! Heika, what happened to you?" she almost screamed when she saw Yuuri, I get the reason, but she didn't have to be so dramatic... It was just an accident...
"Mmm... well... I fell off the bed" he said and tried to smile wimpily, but he winced instead. I rush over to his side and take his hand. I have no idea of why I'm doing this, but apparently the gesture is appreciated, since Yuuri responds by squeezing mi hand.
Gisela is now rushing over from one side to the other gathering things, maybe she didn't need any further explanation or she's simply assuming I was the one to throw Yuuri out of the bed, because I really don't think someone could get this hurt by just falling out of bed by themselves. The important thing is that she isn't asking any more questions, which is good, but I'm just getting really nervous looking at her run around.
The squeezing again.
"What is it Yuuri?" I say in the softer tone I can manage.
"Nothing, you just looked like you were in more pain than I am right there. It's kinda cute, but I don't like to see you frowning, it doesn't suit you"
Did I just hear that right? Maybe Yuuri hit his head even harder than I thought, he would never say something like that so openly. I can't help to smile though, and I feel the blood going up to my head. I look away so he doesn't see me blushing, but I think the wimp got to see anyway. I feel like running and hiding right now, but I stay firm, mainly because Yuuri won't let go of my hand.
Gisela, noticing Yuuri won't let me leave his side, sits at the other side of Yuuri and begins healing Yuuri's opened wound on the middle of the big swelling. It closes up nicely and the more purple areas, more like black actually, are now becoming a bright shade of pink.
"That is all I can do for you now Heika, you'll have to wait for the swelling to come down" She says and walks to the little table in which she left all the stuff she had gathered before.
"I'll make you an ointment that should speed up the healing process" she is now grinding what I recognise as medicinal herbs, with scary precision.
"But Heika, please refrain from falling out of bed like this again" why is she looking at me while she says that? I unconsciously humphed and looked away. It's a habit, this time I really didn't mean it.
As though Yuuri saw right through me he lets go of my hand, but, to my surprise he just puts it on my shoulder and draws me a little closer to him.
"I'll try" he says, I'm sure on the inside he is completely grinning.
As we leave with the ointment in my hands and the instructions on how to use it in my head, Gisela stops us.
"Here Heika, for the pain, only take one every day, they can cause drowsiness, so try not to do any heavy activities or anything that requires much concentration" she hands him a flask with some really big pills inside.
He must be jumping up and down on the inside, he just got out of paperwork duty
"Hey Wolf, that means I won't be able to sign any paperwork in at least two days!"
See? Spot on. He actually jumped a little while saying it.
"Heika, Wolfram, you're up earl... Heika, what happened?" It's Conrart, who just popped out of nowhere. I wonder how many times will I have to listen to this question during the day, probably at least ten times, Günter's will be the more dramatic reaction, no doubt.
I feel guilty enough as it is you know... The last thing I would have wanted is to harm him, and to harm that face... It's just criminal. Something I have never criticised about Yuuri are his looks. The first time I saw him I thought he was a complete wimp, but a really, really cute one.
Those eyes are what attracted me the most, not only because of their mesmerizing black colour, but because of how deep they are, I feel as though I could get lost in them and live happily, never coming back.
I lower my head and prepare myself for Yuuri telling Conrart of how I, for the hundredth time, kicked him off the bed, and how this time I actually managed to do it with such force, as to disfigure him. But his reply is not what I expected
"I was walking to the bathroom still half asleep and I slipped. I think the floor got a crack or two too. So I guess I didn't completely lose" Yuuri says while placing one hand behind his head, his signature wimpy move.
Conrart smiles and lectures Yuuri about being more careful, then he starts walking on the direction of the garden, probably for breakfast. Yuuri follows and signals me to do the same.
But why? why did he cover up for me?
"Don't worry, it will be our little secret okay? In exchange you'll have to treat me with the ointment and stuff"
I swear, somewhere along the road this wimpy kind learned how to read my mind.
