The Tales of Yuuri and Wolfram

Drabble 2:

Wish

-Shin Makoku era-

"Yuuri!!" Yuuri screamed once he was tackled to the ground. The watering can he had been holding flew up into the air, releasing the water which fell onto them with a loud splash.

Groaning in pain, Yuuri looked back to see Wolfram, who was giving him the most deadly of all looks. Gulping down his urge to scream for help or even be able to run, he smiled nervously at the solider.

"Yes Wolfram..?"

"What is this rumor I heard from the staff about you flirting around with Gunter!" Yuuri stared at Wolfram as if he had grown two heads.

"Wolfram…I didn't flirt with him…I was just asking him some questions."

"Don't you dare lie to me you cheater!" Wolfram exclaimed, pulling the boy's collar and brought him face to face. Yuuri flailed, begging for him to let go and that he wasn't a cheater.

"For the past week I've heard and seen you around almost everyone in the castle except for me! Your own fiancé! You've avoided me and when I'd catch you, you'd make up excuses and run!"

"I-"

"CHEATER!"

"I'm not a cheater!" Yuuri whined.

"Then tell me what you've been up too!"

Yuuri sighed, running a hand through his hair. He could tell Wolfram wasn't trying to be annoying. Wolfram was just concerned and, as usual, couldn't help but jump to conclusions.

"Just trust me okay. Nothing is going on."

"Yuu-"

"Trust me…please?"

Wolfram stared him down in silence. After a good amount of time, (thirty seconds) he turned and stalked away.

Yuuri believed he had done something bad..


From then on, Wolfram never attacked Yuuri with questions whenever he was gone longer then he should. Nor did he react to the rumors that dealt with Yuuri hanging out with someone else besides Wolfram. This was actually frightening the castle occupations more then relieving. Especially Yuuri since it was his fault.

"Wo-Wolfram?" Wolfram looked up from his book towards his cautious fiancé.

"Yes Yuuri?"

Yuuri swallowed nervously.

"U-uh…well…are you alright? You haven't been chasing me….calling me names…..so...I was wondering…-"

"I'm fine Yuuri…..even though it does tick me off." He hissed, snapping the book shut which sent a shiver of fear down Yuuri's neck. He was afraid Wolfram would attack at any moment if he said the wrong words or tried to escape from his wrath he seemed to be holding back.

"Uhh…"

"I'm….." Wolfram blushed, looking to his lap. "I-I'm trusting…you…and that you aren't cheating on me…."

Yuuri blinked, remembering the old conversation that they had a week ago. He hadn't realized Wolfram would actually take his words to heart. Now Yuuri finally understood Wolfram's strange behavior.

Yuuri laughed.

"What's so funny wimp!?" Wolfram exclaimed, hopping from his seat.

Yuuri shook his head and smiled.

"Nothing…its just…I never noticed how cute you could be."

Wolfram blushed darkened.

"D-don't call me cute…I'm a solider…!"

Yuuri laughed again and grabbed onto Wolfram's hand.

"Come on~!"


"Where are you taking me Yuuri?"

"Be patient!"

"I can't be if I don't know where I'm being taken!"

The argument continued until they paused at the doors to the dining hall. Wolfram rose an eyebrow in question but was just presented with a cheerful smile. The smile seemed to be contagious since once Yuuri turned away to open the door, Wolfram was smiling as well.

"Why are we-"

"SURPRISE!"

Wolfram jumped.

Everyone cheered and waved towards the duo.

"Wolfie-chan~ Happy birthday!" Celi squealed, hugging her son in a tight hold. Wolfram struggled and was released eventually. He looked over the decorated room, scrunching his nose in confusion at some of the odd features.

"What are those?" He asked, pointing to the odd cone hats everyone wore, then the hanging streams and balloons, and finally the items wrapped up in strange patterned paper and cloth.

Yuuri stepped in.

"This is stuff from Earth! I thought I'd give you a traditional Earth surprise birthday party!"

Wolfram stared stunned to Yuuri. He was touched by all the preparations that had been done and finally understood why Yuuri had been sneaking around and talking to the others so much lately.

It had been all for him.

Wolfram turned away from the crowd once he felt his eyes start to sting.

He wouldn't cry!

"Wolfram? You okay? You don't like it?" The disappointment in Yuuri's voice snapped Wolfram out his thoughts. He whipped around, blushing as he came inches from the other.

"I-I like it…" He murmured, looking anywhere else that wasn't Yuuri, but didn't move away to give each other space.

Yuuri's smile returned.

"So Wolfram~! How old are you anyway?"

Wolfram blinked and thought for a moment.

"Hmm...Eighty-three."

Silence from Yuuri.

"Excuse me…what was that?"

"Eighty-three."

Yuuri massaged his ears, thinking he was hearing things.

"Eighteen?"

"No! Eighty-three! Do I look like a child!?"

"….Wolfram…your so old…"

WHACK

Yuuri moaned from his position on the ground, a lump formed on his head.

Wolfram huffed, turning away.

"Its not my fault you humans age so quickly!"

Celi stepped in, ushering Wolfram to a seat in front of the cake. She nodded to her other sons who went into action and closed the curtains to the windows, darkening the room. The only light was from the candles implanted in the cake.

"Why are there candles in the cake, and why is the room darkened? More weird Earth customs?" Wolfram looked to Yuuri who had finally recovered from his injury.

"Yeah. The candles represent how many years you are now and you make any wish before you blow them out."

"…there aren't enough candles…I'm eighty-three."

Yuuri sighed.

"Sorry…"

"Hmph. Wimp." Wolfram scoffed, closing his eyes to chose a wish. He wondered if he would even work.

"I'm not a wimp~!" Yuuri whined, holding back the urge to pout.

Wolfram ignored him and opened his eyes, staring hard at the candles.

"I…wish…." he blushed, noticing the intense looks he was receiving.

"S-stop looking!" Wolfram exclaimed.

The group blinked, turned to each other, and turned away.

"Cover your ears as well!"

They complied.

Wolfram scanned them thoroughly to make sure they had done what was told and returned to the cake. Blushing deeply, he murmured his wish lowly just in case. Quickly he blew the candles out and the room went dark. A moment later light returned when the brothers reopened the curtains.

"What did you wish for Wolfram!?" Greta asked excitedly.

Wolfram's blush returned, his eyes darted over to Yuuri who was busy placing the wrapped gifts on the table with Murata. Yuuri seemed to feel Wolfram's glance since he had turned in his direction, though a moment late since Wolfram had already looked away just in time to not be caught staring.

"Wolfram?" Greta called out too.

Wolfram turned back to her and smiled.

"It's a secret."

"Von Bielefeld~! Present time!"


Wolfram fell onto the bed in relief after putting on his new nightwear that his mother had had made for him. It was similar to his last nightgown except that it was more frilly, thinner, and knee-short, made for the spring weather.

He sighed, he had never thought that actually celebrating the day of his birth could be so exhausting!

He glared towards Yuuri when heard him laughing.

"Not funny.." he muttered into the covers.

Yuuri flopped down next to him, done changing into his pajamas.

"Come on. It was fun!"

"…" Wolfram looked away, he didn't want to admit that he was right.

Yuuri smiled.

"Hey, what did you wish for?"

Wolfram stiffen.

"W-why do you want to know wimp!?"

"I'm not a wimp!"

"Hmph! I'm tired!" Wolfram moved to his spot on the bed and disappeared into the sheets.

Yuuri sighed, giving up and slide into the covers.

"Night Wolfram." He yawned and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Peeking from beneath his sheets, Wolfram listened carefully to the rhythm of Yuuri's breathes before pulling himself out and move closer to the other body. He stared down at the sleeping boy, brushing away a few strands of the boy's hair from his face.

Wolfram stared in thought before leaning down and pressing his lips on the others. He stayed there, savoring the moment, and slowly pulled away to not awake his fiancé.

"That…was my wish…Yuuri."
