Yozak, who had spent the better part of the day shooting heated glances in his captain's direction, was now standing in front of Gwendal, who was working on paperwork. Finally, he looked up and said, "I'm sending you on a mission to Small Cimaron."
"When do I leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Very well, sir."
"Dismissed."
Yozak turned at walked out, closing the doors behind him. Then he leaned against the wall beside them with a sigh. He was going to have to leave off his pursuit…and so soon after he had begun. He sighed again. He decided he would just have to make this night count enough to keep Conrart thinking about him for the next few weeks. He shoved off the wall and headed down to the training yard only to find Conrart was no longer there. Instead, he found Yuuri watching his husband practicing with his own men.
Yuuri looked up as Yozak approached. "Yozak!"
Yozak hid a smile. That boy always sounded either happy or completely shocked when he saw him. "Hello, bocchan."
"What are you doing here?" he asked lightly.
"I was looking for the captain."
"Conrad? He just left. He mentioned something about being right back though, you can wait here for him."
Hmm…waiting for Conrart with the person Conrart is in love with or going to find him myself and ambushing him…hmm… "No, that's okay, I think I'll go back inside." He turned and left.
Yuuri started to turn back to Wolfram when he remembered something. "Yozak, Conrart went to the stab…les…" he trailed off as he realized the spy was already long gone. Oh well, he would tell Conrad when he came back.
Yozak headed up to Conrart's quarters, only to find them empty. He searched through the entire palace at a very fast pace before heading out in time to see Conrart leaving the stables. The brat could have said he was in the stables.
He was about to approach the other half demon when the man called out in shock. "YUURI!" He dashed for the training yard.
Yozak trailed after him and saw, to his surprise, that the king was sparring with one of Wolfram's soldiers, while Wolfram was nowhere to be seen. The soldier had knocked the double black into the dirt. Yozak started to draw his sword as the soldier in blue leaned over his king until he recognized that this was not an attack. In fact, the soldier was now bowing and apologizing profusely. Yozak relaxed when he realized that that was all that was happening. Conrart, on the other hand, was still upset. "What is going on?"
Wolfram appeared from the steps where he'd been sitting, which were invisible from the angle that which he and Conrart had been standing, and stalked over. "Don't bow and apologize. The wimp needs to learn how fight properly or else accept how defenseless he is in the face of true battle!"
"Way to build up confidence, Wolf." Yuuri reached out to the blond who automatically pulled him to his feet before remembering the point he'd been making less than a minute ago and jerked back his hand with mild disgust. "You know, you should say things like keep trying or you'll get better with more practice. It's what I do when I'm coaching baseball."
"This is battle, not a silly game that has no value in the real world!" Wolfram yelled at his husband.
Yuuri would have argued back but Conrart cut in, mellower now that he saw this was not some kind of assassination attempt. "If you're teaching him to fight, then why are your soldiers the ones sparring with him?"
"Because whenever we fight, Wolf loses patience and starts throwing fireballs at me." Yuuri shot a deserving look at Wolfram, who glowered back. "His soldiers don't resort to fire or their other elements as easily."
Wolfram bit his lip and snapped, "Well, when I train with you, I want you to be prepared for everything."
"Last time I checked, the humans couldn't call on elemental fire," he shot back.
"They have esoteric stones!"
"Which don't affect me."
"They do when you become the Maou."
"True, but when I'm in Maou Mode, I can fight with a my water dragons and anything else at my disposal so I don't need a sword at any of those points."
Wolfram struggled to think of a comeback. Unable to do so, he shouted, "Wimp!" and stalked off, dismissing his soldiers.
Yuuri stared after him, guiltily, and said, "Excuse me," to Conrart and Yozak, before taking off after his love.
"Those crazy kids." Yozak shot a look at Conrart. "Were we ever like that?"
"I don't think anyone has ever been like that ever." Conrart almost managed a laugh as he turned to look at Yozak. He stopped short when he saw the serious look adorning the red head's features. "What is it?"
"We have to talk about last night."
"What about it?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean exactly what I say. What is it that we have to talk about concerning last night?"
"Are you trying to say you don't remember what happened?"
"I remember the Maou got married last night."
"And that's all you can remember?" Yozak asked, skeptical.
"What, you want me to remember what you did to me?"
"What I did to you?!" If Yozak had been a girl, the expression on his face would have been taken for outrage.
"Look," Conrart started, trying to pacify him. "I'm sure it was a mistake. And I was upset and…and this morning too. I needed help and you were there so…anyway, let's not talk about it anymore."
Yozak could not have looked more stunned had he been hit with a stun gun. He stared at his captain, completely motionless. Conrart nodded to him, avoiding eye contact as he followed after his king, leaving a shell shocked Yozak in his wake and dashing down the guilty and heart breaking feelings that were welling up inside him.
Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddddd…cliffhanger. Yes yes, I'm sure you all hate me but my hands can't decide if they are going to feel hot or cold. I currently have six cold fingers and four hot ones…I can't really figure out why…maybe early onset Carpal Tunnel…anyway, please review and tell me if you like my story so far.
Thanks for reading^_^
