Reviewers: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry it took me so long to update. Been busy lately.
Migod: I know, I thought I wouldn't make Yuuri look like an ass for a little bit. Not sure how long that'll last though. Wolfram's not that happy, he's mainly lonely. And, as for that voice you'll just have to wait and find out who it is.
K-shee: -nods- I agree
Phantome101: Lol. Well, his skull is pretty thick.
Yunshi Himura: wow, somebody actually remembered her. I thought you'd all forget. But, she'll be back in time. She's not wanted at the moment.
Yamazaki-Rei: Lol, a lot of people did. Not sure what they'll feel about him later on.
I'm starting to get more work, again, at school. So, I'm guessing I'm going to be really busy soon. So, don't mind if I don't update in a while. Not to mention I might get a job. I just applied for one. Oh words in italics are thoughts. Just to let you know. Well, here is the next chapter. Enjoy and review.
Chapter 6:
The crescent moon was shining proudly high up in the night sky. The Beautiful Wolframs were glowing in the night as the water droplets, from the earlier rain shower, shined in the moonlight; making the flowers look majestic as the prince it was named after. It was truly a wonderful sight to behold, whether it was during the day or night. There always seemed to be a calming silence that swept over the garden like a blanket. The palace garden was the epitome of tranquility and beauty. It was no wonder this was the safe haven to a certain blonde mazoku prince that we all know and love.
One would always be able to find the blonde prince in the palace garden whenever he was nowhere else to be found. During his break, the prince always seemed to be occupying the garden, taking advantage of the tranquility of the area. But, with the current state of the blonde the garden seemed to be vacant. Everyone seemed to be avoiding the garden like it was the plague. The garden would bring them sadness and pain, as it would be a reminder of their beloved prince. There would occasionally be guards to patrol the enclosure, but none would willingly approach.
However, on this night there was a lone figure staring at the moon and stars above. He was sitting on the bench that was in the center of the prince's sanctuary. Said figure had a dazed look as he was reminiscing in his thoughts. Tears were streaming from his face. He was so lost in this thoughts he didn't seem to notice the approaching soldier.
"Your majesty, you should come inside before you catch a cold," the soldier put his hand on the king's shoulder. Still gazing at the sky with tears coming down his face, Yuuri didn't seem to have heard the soldier. "Your majesty, are you alright?" The soldier said with a concerned tone as he gave a slight squeeze on the double black's shoulder.
Finally realizing there was another person present; Yuuri sat up straight wiping the tears from his face. He turned to the soldier with a forced smile. "I'm alright Conrad. I was just thinking. I'll come in soon. I just want to be alone for ten more minutes if that's alright." Conrad nodded before he hesitantly walked toward the garden's entrance to wait for his king. As soon as Yuuri deemed that the half-mazoku soldier was far away enough, he looked back at the sky.
A frown quickly replaced the artificial smile. "Wolfram," tears started to fall down his face again, "wake up soon, please. I miss you. Everybody misses you. It's so lonely here without you. I can't sleep. I thought it would be nice to finally have my bed all to myself, but I don't think that anymore. I don't know why but I really need you here by my side. I just feel empty without you. I don't know how to explain this weird feeling I have. But, I think… I might… love you," the young king said to nobody in particular. Deep down, he wished that his fiancé heard the words that were spoken. Yuuri sat there for a couple more minutes looking at the sky before he sighed and got up. He wiped the tears away and composed himself. He made his way towards the garden's entrance where Conrad stood waiting for him.

Wolfram sat under a tree with a shocked look upon his angelic face. He replayed what he just heard minutes ago over and over again in his mind. He was sitting there plucking the petals off a nearby flower, when he heard a familiar voice. "Wolfram," The voice was not the one that he had heard previously. No, this one was a male's voice. The owner of the voice sounded like he was crying. "Wake up soon, please. I miss you. Everybody misses you. It's so lonely here without you. I can't sleep. I thought it would be nice to finally have my bed all to myself, but I don't think that anymore. I don't know how to explain this weird feeling I have. But, I think… I might… love you." That's when Wolfram realized who that voice belonged to, it was Yuuri's voice.
Wolfram couldn't believe what he had just heard. Joy swept through his body as the thought of that voice belonging to Yuuri registered into his mind. 'My Yuuri did love me, after all that effort in trying to get recognition from him it was all worth it. I am finally loved by the love of my life.' The joy was steadily growing within him, as the thoughts of him finally having his love return the feelings to him flourished. 'It's almost too good to be true.'
The joy that was accumulating in him stopped when that statement replayed in his mind like a broken record. 'Wait, it really is too good to be true. There is no way that Yuuri would say that. This is probably somebody's fucked up joke on me. The proof that this whole thing was just somebody's sick prank was the cause of my unhappiness. It was the fact that Yuuri doesn't love me.
Everything Yuuri has done to me always shouted that fact at me. He isn't into guys; it's impossible for him to love one. Since I'm a guy, there is no way that he would ever love me. I have a dick for fucking Shinou's sake. For Yuuri, there is no way he could ignore that. It makes him sick to be with a man. To him, it is wrong.
He denies our engagement because of the fact that I am a guy and therefore can't love me. Yuuri likes women. It's hard to not know since he reminds everybody on a daily basis. It's a constant reminder of that fact when he is dancing with every woman at a party but not with his fiancé. It's hard for me to forget it because I witness him cheating on me with a woman. No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, there was no way to do that. Yuuri made sure I knew he didn't love me and wanted to be with me. Who am I to deny his wishes any longer? Who am I to deny him his happiness? Who am I to deny him the right to be with a woman? But, the biggest question of them all, exactly who am I to His Majesty?' Tears started falling down Wolfram's face as the joy he was feeling earlier was over taken by the feelings of doubt and despair.
Wolfram cried himself to sleep soon after, with this heart filled with sorrow. A few feet away from the sleeping prince was a glowing, transparent figure. Said figure had what seemed like tears falling from her eyes as she saw the pitiful sight before her. 'I thought that after hearing what Yuuri had to say he would be overjoyed. But, it seems I was wrong. His heart is so full of doubt, despair, and sorrow that he won't let himself believe that it really was Yuuri. He must've been through a lot to get himself in such a state. Even with all the work I have done, I just hope that things will change before it's too late to save him. I wish his family and friends good luck with all that is in store for them.' And with that thought, she faded away.

As servants walked by the infirmary, they could hear sobs coming from inside. They knew that it was their former demon queen. She had hardly left the infirmary, since the royal council decided that they could not afford to have Wolfram as their top priority but would continue to find a way to awaken him. To others it seemed that Lady Cheri was, in a way, mourning for her youngest son. Most knew that by now their beloved prince was most likely never going to wake up.
There was still a small spark of hope inside them all, but was hidden by the shroud of anguish, despair, and doubt. They refuse to let themselves feel the hope that their prince would awaken, for it would only hurt them even more if it were confirmed that there was absolutely nothing they could do. They refused to let themselves to get hurt even more than they already had. One couldn't blame them for feeling this way. They were living beings after all. Nobody wants to be hurt, whether it's emotionally or physically. Most of the residents had drowned themselves in their duties in order to forget the state their beloved prince was in.

Lady Cheri was inside the infirmary laying her head on the bed that Wolfram's body was currently occupying. She had been crying her eyes out daily. Even though she looked beautiful without putting on make-up and doing other beauty procedures, she looked like a train wreck. Her hair was all tousled, her eyes were puffy and red, her nose was running, and her cheeks were stained with tears. The usual radiant glow that she emitted had been extinguished.
On the bed, laid Wolfram's body. One would mistake him for a corpse because of his paleness. The only difference that distinguished the prince from one was that he was breathing. One had to look closely to see Wolfram's chest move up and down to believe he was still alive. All his wounds had healed during the time he was in a coma.
"Wolfie," the ex-demon queen whispered, "How long are you going to make your mother cry? When are you going to wake up?" The blonde noblewoman let out another sob as she talked to the almost lifeless body before her. She lifted her head and stared at her youngest son. She grabbed his hand and kissed it, "I love you, Wolfie," she whispered. She closed her eyes as she rested her cheek against Wolfram's hand.
Her eyes snapped open when she felt Wolfram's hand move slightly. She lifted up her head and stared at the prince. Anxiety swept over her as she watched the blonde, hoping that the blonde really did move and it wasn't her imagination. She desperately waited for the blonde to move. She watched for what seemed like an hour to her but was only a few seconds. After a minute, the blonde prince started to stir. A flood of emotions arose in Cheri as she saw her baby boy slowly open his eyes. A smile graced her face after its month long disappearance.
Wolfram's vision was a little blurry; he could make out a figure next to him. Once his vision was focused he saw his mother smiling at him with tears forming in her eyes. "Mother?" the prince said softly. Cheri was overcome with relief and joy; she pounced on her son and enveloped him in a hug. "Wolfie, baby you're finally awake!!" She starts planting kisses all over Wolfram's face. Wolfram sat there allowing his mother to smother him. "Oh, Wolfie! You don't know how happy I am. You've been in a coma for a month. I was starting to worry that you'd never wake up."
"I'm fine mother, but what happened?" Wolfram said in an almost whispered tone. Cheri released him from her hug. She explained everything that had happened during the last month. Once she was finished explaining she started reprimanding him for being so reckless and worrying everybody. A smile formed on Wolfram's face as he heard how worried everybody was. 'So maybe they do love and care about me. But, they sure do suck at showing it. Well, at least I know my family cares about me. That's a relief. I just wish that Yuuri will love me as something more than a friend.' The smile that had graced Wolfram's face turned into a frown as he thought of the double black king.
Cheri grew concerned when she saw the frown on her son's face. "Wolfie dear, are you alright?" she said in a concerned motherly voice. Wolfram looked at his mother and forced a smile, "I'm fine mother. It's nothing." Cheri wasn't convinced, she knew that Wolfram was just saying that so she wouldn't worry. She wasn't that oblivious to things like the king was. No, she knew more than people thought she did. She just played along with what people thought of her as. She'd go along with it, for now. Cheri didn't want to upset her son with all that has happened. She was too relieved and overjoyed to ruin the moment.

Here is chapter 6. Again, sorry it took me so long to update. If you're wondering, everybody finds out Wolfram's awake in the next chapter. Why? Because Cheri forgot to get a maid or soldier to inform the others. Lol.
Sorry if the ending kind of sucked. I didn't like how I ended the chapter. But, after re-doing it several times I was like fuck this I'll edit it later if I can re-write it to satisfy me.
