REVISED: sorry about the wrong grammar/spelling. I was typing too fast coz I had a lot of ideas coming in and I didn't bother to proof read except for the spelling and grammar check of Microsoft word which didn't help much. I revised the songs too, for some of the lyrics were wrong…oh well, on to the "new and improved" chapter 10!
Chapter 10: Wrong impressions and sudden, unwanted goodbyes
Yuuri ran after Wolfram who stormed out of the room. He finally got hold of Wolfram, causing him to stop.
"Wolfram!"
"What?! Why aren't you with miss perfect?"
"Miss
perfect?! What are you talking about?"
"I saw the way you
looked at her, and how you forced yourself to be her partner instead
of me!"
Then Yuuri realized how stupid he was that he could've asked Asuka if he and Wolfram instead could join the competition.
"I don't like her okay? I did but not anymore! I thought you liked her…" his voiced softened and realized that Wolfram would never betray him for anyone; he had his pride and was very faithful to him to be unfaithful. How stupid am I? Yuuri thought. Wolfram however shot another cold glare with tears in his eyes
"How could you think that I'd like someone else?! I'm not a cheater like you! Don't you know who I am?! Don't you know how I…feel….about—" he stopped and sobbed. Yuuri looked around. No one seemed to be there, just the grass and the fountain and trees…he wished he had an intimate moment with Wolfram instead of this petty argument in this kind of scenery. He cursed himself for being so darn stupid thinking that Wolfram would like someone, more so not choosing to enter the competition with Wolfram. A competition which he didn't really like to enter.
Just as he tried to say sorry, Wolfram spoke "I get it! Everyone thinks that I'm a selfish brat but I'm not! I don't see why being jealous for the right reasons are bad! Are you trying to convince me that what I've done isn't right? Everybody feels this way sometimes! And I do! You can't hear it but I do! You can't feel it but I'm feeling this way because I know that I can be ignored. I can be embraced, I can be brushed aside. And I will get scared, and I will get shut down but I feel like I do because you push me away. I'm tired of over thinking, I know you don't like me. Now I'm asking questions. No one questions me around. You don't seem angry but I do. You can't see it, but I do! You can end the damned engagement if you want! But Yuuri, no one will ever love you as much as I do!" Wolfram stopped. They were both shock with his sudden confession. Wolfram fell on his knees and cried as he looked up into Yuuri's eyes and sang. "In these eyes, more than words more than anything that I've spoken. As the skies turn to grey my heart's just about to crack open. And so the story goes, but there something you should know before I walk away and I blow the ending. I never wanna be without you. Here I go, now you know about what I feel about you. There's no running away. I must've been wrong to doubt you. There I go no control. And I'm falling so, now you know. I feel so light, craving oxygen. All this truth's left me empty. While you run, throw your hand away because I need you to show me. Maybe this seems bold but I'm hoping you'll stay for the happy ending. And so the story goes. You already know. So don't be a fool and go spoil the ending."
He hated looking weak especially in front of Yuuri, but he couldn't suppress what he felt anymore. Yuuri wanted to comfort him, though he didn't know how.
"Wolfram," he tried to start "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just misunderstood you…" he tried to hug Wolfram and he tried to help him stand again. "I'm sorry Wolf. Don't misunderstand me. When I talk to girls or pretty-faced men, that doesn't mean that I'm gonna cheat on you because I'll never do anything to hurt you. I've tried to say this a million times before and I'm sick of not doing so. And here goes: all that I need and all that I bleed and all that I care for is you. True love won't lie. I'd rather die before I lie to you. I'll never do anything to hurt you on purpose. I need you…I just found out that I lo—"
"Don't say it! Stop making me hope when there really isn't something to hope for!" Wolfram said, placing his face in his hands. Yuuri tried to sing.
"Wolfram, am I giving enough? Is it all that should be? I'm so afraid to come close. It may be too soon. It may be too much for you to consume. And I wanna know if I can live inside your world. And I wanna know if I can give it to you. You know that I want to say it. You know that I need to say it. You know that I'll never say it but life just goes on and on. I gave all that I thought you needed. And I know that in time you will believe in me. So please hold out your hand because I want you in my life. I want you to be my—" he hesitated and decided to skip that part "you know that I want to say it. You know that I need to say it. You know that I'll never say it. Wolfram, you're so special. I wanna give it all to you loving you on and on… You know that I want to say it. You know that I need to say it. You know that I'll never say it but love just goes on and on." Yuuri sang on.
Wolfram stood up believing Yuuri and he tried to say sorry but he couldn't speak. Yuuri smiled as he saw Wolfram's eyes, though filled with unshed tears, also filled with understanding. He hugged Wolfram and Wolfram hugged back and closed his eyes as a tear fell on Yuuri's shoulder. They always liked having each other in each other's arms (A/N: haha…sounds kinda wrong…is it correct?). But then Wolfram felt Yuuri's weight heavier on him as he heard him gasp. He opened his eyes, and he saw him. The man who sent the letter that shocked Conrad, Günter and Gwendal and the man who shot a poisoned arrow at Yuuri.
"NO!" Wolfram shouted as Yuuri fell. He leaned down and tried to hug Yuuri, as if his hug would heal Yuuri. Yuuri smiled weakly and said softly "Shh…don't cry Wolf, life goes on. I guess this is my end. I guess my only mission in life was fulfilled…I don't want to leave you but I feel weak…too…weak…but be strong, for Greta, for yourself, and all the others. Live life on, for me…" Yuuri's voice became softer as tears slid down his cheeks which were from his and Wolfram's eyes "No, Yuuri! You're not going to die! Don't talk like that!" "Wolfram, be strong. Take care of Greta while I'm gone. I'll be back…soon…I promise…" then Yuuri took one last breath and left the prince crying.
Wolfram had had enough people leaving him whether on purpose and not. He gently laid Yuuri down and stood as his fists curled. He was in earth, there could either be Houjutsu or Houseki or he won't be able to use his magic because he's in earth, and that's the human's territory, is it not? Nonetheless, filled with rage and sadness he tried to summon his magic with all his power. With his eyes full of anger and his soul determined, he shouted "All beings that make up the element of fire, obey this brave Mazoku that summons you!" To his and that man's surprise, he was able to summon fire and he threw it all unto the man, knocking him off.
Wolfram dropped to his knees as he looked once more on Yuuri's corpse. He lay on his chest to listen to any heartbeat, but there was none. Yuuri had left. He felt his world around him spinning for he pushed his limit on his magic and his feelings, he felt his heart shatter, just then he saw an odd looking circle in the air which grew bigger then he saw Günter and Conrad come out of it. He then realized it was a portal. But they were too late. He tried his best to stand up and explain what happened but he couldn't carry himself for using that much magic. He collapsed in Conrad's arms. He felt himself being carried over his brother's shoulder and watched them leave through the portal. Though it may be because he was drifting off to sleep already that his mind played tricks on him, he swore that he saw Yuuri's corpse being elevated and then disappearing into thin air then he lost his consciousness.
end of chapter 10
Incase you were wondering:
What Wolfram sang is actually a real song. Its title is now you know by Hilary Duff. What Yuuri sang was say it but I don't know who sang it p sorry! Anyway, I'm so sorry that I let Yuuri die, but don't worry, it wouldn't end, yet.
