Prompt #5, Infidelity
Yozak couldn't even explain at first why he felt compelled to doubt the boy, whom Conrad followed already with what looked to him like blind adoration. The open, trusting way Yuuri looked to Conrad didn't soothe his concerns much, either.
"It felt like you were cheating on me," he admitted, much later. "Not just because you took his side and even threatened my life over his, and not just because I envied your loyalty to him, or because there was no question in your heart about him, so I had to do all the doubting for both of us."
"It was because I was the one who dragged your miserable butt away from that battlefield and made sure you stayed alive even if you didn't think you wanted to be, but he was the one who put light back in your eyes and gave you a reason to live again."
It was only when Conrad took the jewel from Yuuri's hand and placed it in his own, with that smile of pure trust, that Yozak found out what he needed to know.
After all, in spite of all he'd said and done, it was Conrad he'd been testing all along.
