Did you enjoy the eternal wait of DOOM? If not, hopefully it's worth it. WARNING: There is a lime in this chapter, so watch out for that. Enjoy!

Yuuri's POV

"Do... you love me?"

Those four simple words ring through my head repeatedly. I know the answer- of course I do, with all my heart! But...

Shock and nervousness petrify me to the bone, swelling up my throat. Why can't I reply? I mean, wouldn't a simply 'yes' do?

Serious eyes with vaguely hidden hope stare right into my soul, warming my heart -yet somehow impairing it- gradually with each moment's passing. Yet, all I can do is stare right back at them, straining the elder's patience.

I need to confess to him, he needs to know! Even if he's just asking because he's curious or something... Then again, he released so easily- the wonderful, unforgettable expression of ecstasy, on his face, as he ejaculated pops into my head. I shake it off. Plus, he seems way to serious to just be curious... Does he feel the same way I do?

Looking at that angelic face, it takes immense self-control and common sense to refrain from attacking his intoxicating lips and neck, yet again. However, Wolfram is more serious than I've ever seen him before...

Taking in a sharp breath, I begin, "I-" before cutting myself off. I jolt my head backwards to unintentionally slam my head into the wood behind me, surprised by my unexpected ability to compose single coherent word. I rub my now aching cranium, absentmindedly.

Continue, I command myself sternly, but to no avail.

While minutes pass like hours, silence consumes all but the sharp tone of many globules of liquid precipitation pattering sharply on the ground around us.

Shaking appendages lighten their strict grip on my wrists, their proprietor's gaze dropping to the ground. Releasing my arms altogether, my beloved allows his own arms to dangle by his sides, and he remains utterly frozen.

Even when the one I love most in all existence stands before me, his head bowed, increasingly soaking due to the rainfall, and looking as gloomy as ever, I fail to even form another word.

I'm so sorry... Wolfram... I have somehow lost my voice in the abyss of nothingness, and I wield no knowledge on where it may possibly abide...

Wolfram's POV

Letting go of my long admired infatuation, my stare directs down to the stone path beneath us. Allowing the numerous beads of water to trickle down my dampening body, I dispense a similar liquid from my tear ducts.

I feel pathetic, crying in front of the one I love; but the flowing of tears, at this point, is utterly inevitable. I should have listened to my conscience's instructions not to get my hopes up...

The temptation of running away fails to overcome my fixed state, so all I can do is stand here, silently crying...

"I do."

Startled by the sudden words, I quickly cast my gaze upwards. Vaguely noting how enticing the figure before me looks, contrasting beautifully with the rays of moonlight shining mostly on his right side, I part my lips slightly to ask what he says that he does. Then, the explanation strikes me across the face.

He...

Cupping my cheek with his right hand, and peering right into my soul with those amazing black eyes of his, Yuuri states something which obviously confirms my estimate, "I love you... Wolfram... so much... I..."

Those words, to me, wield such honesty, so much emotion... Along with the dim pain from my heart slamming maniacally at my chest lays a deep, newly found emotion. What word can possibly describe this feeling? This pure bliss, pure... love... I realize, now, my true feelings for this wimpy, thick headed, gorgeous king before me. This isn't just love you can give to most of any person you get close to, it's as if these feelings could never even think of lying in the hands of anybody else, that they were purposely set aside only for him during all my 84 years... I don't just love Yuuri, I'm in love with him. It's as if he's my other half, the only one who can possibly complete me...

I've discovered a love so powerful, risking one's own life to save the other seems like nothing. This is a love so indestructible, nothing that has or shall ever exist can ever destroy it. Abiding within me is a love so limitless, it almost seems like it doubles in mass and strength, with each passing minute. The deep love inside of me wields no boundaries; I shall love this breathtaking teen before me forever, even if he completely changes over the years and even comes to despise me.

Most surprisingly, this vast love of mine... is requited... A monstrous weight lifts from my now vigorously pulsing heart. "Yuuri," I breathe, still taking in all of my desideratum's confession.

Pulling my face close to his, the dark haired 18 year-old presses his lips delicately against each of my two tear-stained cheeks. After that, my Yuuri took my face in his hands, closing the space between us.

I sigh, contently, into the kiss until we suddenly separate. I almost whine, but then my eyes meet his...

The young Maoh hesitantly inquires, breathing heavily, "And... you? How do you feel... about... me?"

I feel like I'm melting under that intense gaze of his...

"I-" I begin before swallowing, "- love you, too," I assure, heat rising in my face.

Okay, I'm in the middle (actually towards the beginning * laughs sheepishly *) of the smex, so I'll post that eventually, but I didn't want to keep you guys on the cliff hanger at the end of the last chapter, so here's a chapter of pure fluff... Sorry :/ but at least you can just skip straight to the smex, once I post it :D

Reviews=LOVE! And encourage me to write more ;)
