Chapter 4:

Wolfram's POV...

Shiro should be here any day now, this should be fun. I wonder if Yuri can get any days off soon. Well, if he can't, at least I know that I can always take a few days off this month to spend with Shiro when he arrives.

I had already told Gwendal that Shiro was coming over, so it should be fine, I always work hard anyway. Besides, he was always very fond of Shiro, maybe it would be good to invite him to have dinner with us every night while he's in town.

For some reason, he always did seem to get along with Conrart and Gwendal, you would think they were his brothers as well *giggle*. Maybe I could even invite him to help train my soldiers, he's probably gotten better with the sword than he was before. Should be interesting to watch the troops, and of course it will hopefully toughen them up a bit.

Anyway, I should probably get out of bed now. I wonder if Yuri's done with work yet, I let out a yawn as I usually do when I'm still sleepy. I should go check up on him.

Yuri has been in his office for a few hours, contemplating about Shiro's letter. Of course he should be working but he can't seem to concentrate.

'Something just doesn't seem right about that letter, he is probably just being friendly... Ugh I'm just being paranoid, that's gotta be it... But still ... I think I'll try going out with them as much as I can, just to get a feel for Shiro's character. Plus he's Wolfram's friend, I want to be able to get along with him.'

Yuri stops thinking about things and gets back to working. "I should probably get to work and finish before Gwendal shows up. I feel like I haven't made any progress at all."

Suddenly the door opens and Yuri falls out of his chair, he's shocked out of his thoughts and fearful that it might be Gwendal walking through the door.

'If Gwendal sees this stack of papers still on my desk, I'm gonna get a lecture for sure. What should I do.' He thinks as he lets out a sigh.

Wolfram runs over to Yuri's side. Leans over to look Yuri straight in his eyes to make sure that he is okay.

"Yuri, are you okay, What happened?" Wolfram looks a bit worried, but is relieved when Yuri smiles at him.

"Wolf, it's just you. I thought it was Gwendal coming to kill me for not doing my work properly."

Wolfram giggles before speaking up, "Yuri, you wimp, what the hell is all this work you still have, I wanted to see if we could have lunch together soon."

"Sorry Wolfram, I've had a lot on my mind lately."

"Well, I guess it can't be helped, you are a wimp after all."

"Don't call me that!"

"Well then stop acting like one. Look, I'll help you sort through these, that way you can finish faster and we could have lunch together. It's been a while since we've had a meal just the two of us where we can just talk."

Yuri shows a huge grin, "I've been thinking the same thing, don't worry I'll make sure to finish this fast, I've still got like at least an hour before lunch."

"Yeah well, with my help hopefully we'll finish within an hour and a half."

Wolfram smiles and takes a seat next to Yuri to help him sort out his papers so that Yuri can sign them faster.

Shiro's POV...

I'm finally within the kingdom, I've already checked into the inn, now I can go see Wolfram. I can't wait to see him, after spending some time together, I have to find the appropriate time to confess to him. It's been so long since we've spent time together, I hope I can make Wolfram fall in love with me, after all I was able to kiss him before we separated. But we were only kids, and he probably saw it as nothing more than a child saying goodbye to his best friend. I can't help but sigh at the thought.

Crap, without realizing it, I already arrived at the castle gates. I got myself kinda depressed, I gotta cheer up, I should still have a chance with Wolfram. I'll casually ask him if he's got a lover yet. Well maybe I'll wait at least a week, it'd be weird to ask that right away. Well, enough of that. Guess I should talk to the two guards up ahead.

"I'm here to see Lord Wolfram Von Bielefelt."

He looks at me suspiciously, "And who are you?"

Oh, wow, I forgot this is the Kings castle, I can't just show up and expect new people to know me. "Sorry, I forgot that part, can you tell him that Shiro is here to see him, he should be expecting me."

One of the guards go running into the castle and the other stays to keep me company, I'm a little surprised to see only two guards at the gate.

"So where are the rest of the guards?"

"You're a very inquisitive boy."

"Sorry, I didn't want to seem intrusive or anything, but I used to come here quite often when I was a child and there were always many many guards around."

"Oh, is that all. Well we are very lucky to have King Yuri, with him around the kingdom is much more peaceful, besides there are more guards inside."

"I see, that's really good to hear. Things have gotten better for Shin Makoku, I'm glad." I can't help but smile, things were quite bad twenty years ago, I was on my travels and still constantly heard about the kingdom and how disastrous things were.

The soldier slams his fist in his hand like he just realized something.

"That's right I remember seeing you at the party a month ago."

"Wow, that's pretty impressive, amazing memory."

"Well, not really, it's just that you stand out quite a bit. Your quite handsome." I can see the blush gracing his cheeks, "...Uhm, I mean that's what the young girls were saying at the party that's all."

"Oh, is that so." I smile at the poor guy, showing that I understand what he meant, he seems so nervous it's kinda cute. His face is still a crimson red.

"Shiro!"

"It's Wolfram ... Hey Wolfram", I wave my hand up, gesturing that I can see him.

He runs up to me out of breath, and looks at the other guard, "He's my friend, I'll show him inside, you two can get back to your posts."

Wolfram Jeez, he didn't need to run so fast. "Hey Wolfram, don't I get get a proper hello, it's been a while."

I get closer to Wolfram and pull him into a tight embrace. "I missed you Wolfram."

"What are you talking about, I saw you last month." I can hear him let out a small laugh.

"Yeah I guess your right", I can't help but smile since he still hugs me back.

I reluctantly release Wolfram, but I keep my arm around his shoulder and we start walking towards the castle doors.

"So Wolfram are you busy right now, have you had lunch yet...Wait don't answer that, it's already like two o'clock, I'm sure you ate."

"Actually, I just finished eating, I ran out so fast when I heard you were here."

He smiles at me, and I smile right back at him. It's no wonder he looked just about ready to keel over, he shouldn't run like that right after eating. After staring at his smile a little longer, I look up to see a very angry King in front of the castle doors.

Wow, he looks quite scary, totally different from how he was at the party. I wonder what's wrong, why is he so mad, he keeps glaring at me.

"Oh, Yuri ... Sorry, I just ran out like that...but look, Shiro's here", Wolfram smiles at the king. I wonder, did I interrupt something.

:)Luna note:)

I write when I have the time. I hope you liked the new chapter. Please review. Any thoughts on the chapter are welcome. Also I'm a bit stressed lately so slight writers block seems to be occurring.

I think I will write shorter chapters to try and update more frequently, but I might not be able to update much until late December when I have a few days off work. Sorry for the delay, but I just want to make sure the story goes well or at least decently well. (^-^)
