Chapter 10

Recap: "Wolfram and I are engaged to be married. His is my fiancé."

No sooner than Yuuri's words sunk in, Shori retaliated.

"FIANCÉ?! Yuuri Shibuya, you are much too young to be engaged let alone to a boy! I get it, they tricked you didn't they? Some sort of misunderstanding? Right, that makes sense, I get it now. You're not gay, I-" the loud sound of skin hitting skin echoed throughout the hallway and Shori's right cheek now sported a very dark red mark where his skin was already beginning to bruise.

"You will not judge me on my life Shori. You have no right. In my world there are no such derogatory terms for 'gay' or 'homosexual' and love is accepted in all ways shapes and forms. You're being a total philistine. Why can't you accept our ways?" Yuuri stared angrily at his brother who was frustrated and even angrier than him… if that was possible anyway. Yuuri just seemed to hold his temper in better.

"Your world? Yuuri earth is your world! It doesn't matter what they brain washed you with there, it only matters what's right here! On earth Yuuri, where you were born and raised! I'm your brother, I won't have you becoming some-" Yuuri finally lost his cool and blasted Shori back against the wall behind him with a force of magic he hadn't really meant to emit.

"Shin Makoku is my home! I wish I was never born on earth! I wish you would just leave us alone! I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY BROTHER!" Yuuri grabbed Wolfram's hand and ran away with him, tears just barely being held back.

Shori found he was unable to take a step after Yuuri, even as he helplessly saw his brother's hand holding a boy's hand… a boy's hand. It was unacceptable, they turned his innocent baby brother into a… faggot for their own purposes, perhaps political reasons, and even brainwashed him into thinking earth wasn't his true home!

At least, that's what ran through Shori's head. No matter how far from the truth it may have been.

Wolfram vehemently swore to himself that if Shori wasn't Yuuri's brother he would be dead a hundred times over, possibly more. The only other people he was so angry at (on earth) had even been Yuuri's adoptive 'parents' but they were in line to be dealt with; Shori was not. Not to his knowledge anyway.

Wolfram waited several minutes before he stopped rubbing Yuuri's back and the double-black looked up, still trying to reel in his tears and just barely succeeding. He knew it shouldn't affect him so much, but Shori was still his only family and if he couldn't accept him… did it really matter? He wasn't sure, but he still couldn't stop crying all the same.

"Yuuri… please calm down. I'm sorry." Yuuri stiffened in the bed and stared Wolfram in the eyes.

"Why are you sorry?" The blonde looked away for a moment before returning the gaze, green eyes staring deep into black.

"Everything in your world is different, and if I had known the extent of… I'm sorry." Yuuri grabbed his blonde and held him tight, not really the reaction he was expecting, but it wasn't unwelcome.

"Don't be sorry. Wolfram, I'd be nothing without you. Don't argue; it's completely true. I wouldn't have opened up to anyone, I would have hidden in my shell, and I would have never fallen in love or have been happy. Ever. Please don't leave me just because my brother is… foolish and ignorant. I love you and I don't-"

"Are you stupid?" Wolfram mumbled into Yuuri's shoulder as he hugged him back. Yuuri blinked in confusion. "You think I would let you go just because your brother doesn't like me? Hell no." The double-black was stunned for a moment before he simply began laughing and ended up letting go of his Wolf so it would be easier to breathe.

At least he was in a better mood now.

Wolfram shifted awkwardly after there had been a minute of silence, and to him it was frustrating because Yuuri was staring at the wall instead of him while he was deep in thought. He absently wondered if he was actually jealous of the barrier between rooms as he tried to start up a conversation.

"So what do you… want to do now Yuuri? I mean, you don't have to stay here anymore if you don't want to. You have a loving family back home and-"

"We have a loving family together, and I would never want that to change..." he trailed off. Wolfram bit his lip.

"But?" Wolfram asked hesitantly. Yuuri set his face in determination… at the ground.

"Wolf… does it make me a coward if I just want to go home for now?" The blonde blinked in confusion at Yuuri's words. "There are things I should deal with here, and I will, but I just want to go home for a bit. I feel…. Better when we're there. With everyone." He swallowed an excess amount of saliva. "I don't really want to… deal with my brother right now."

Wolfram stared at Yuuri for several painfully silent moments before answering. He only hoped his words came out calmly and kind as they were intended to.

"It can wait. This whole world can wait." He placed a gentle hand on Yuuri's back as he stood up. "You think about it. I'll give you a few minutes, maybe that lady from before will be willing to keep me company for a bit?"

Yuuri nodded slowly and didn't suspect a thing as he called Miss Flora to escort Wolfram around for a bit. He didn't even catch a glimpse of the rage in green eyes as a certain blonde stepped out into the halls, since his own eyes were buried in his hands.

That night, Yuuri was ready to go almost the moment Wolfram came back through the door. It hadn't taken long for him to gather the papers he wanted to look through so he could bring them with him, and then it only took him a moment to remember to grab Greta's gift he bought he while out on his date with Wolfram.

Wolfram linked his arm with Yuuri's offered arm as they made their way into the bathroom with a filled tub. Not an overly fancy way to travel or anything, but it wasn't like much was needed other than strong magic and a water source.

As Yuuri concentrated on the magic, Wolfram thought back to just a few minutes ago. Flora was incredibly kind, translating and writing a letter to Shori from him just because he asked her too. She even promised she would deliver it, not that he was sure it would reach Shori before they returned.

Time differences and whatnot.

Shori Shibuya.
Firstly, please note that everything reflected in this letter is the sole compilation of thought of one Wolfram Von Bielefelt, noble of the Bielefelt lands and fiancé to Yuuri Shibuya, Maoh of Shin Makoku, and had no input by anyone else whatsoever. Anything and everything stated below should not be held against Yuuri in any way, nor should he bear the consequences.
Formalities aside, and the fact that you may very well be my brother-in-law in the future aside as well, forgive me for saying that you are a disgrace. You are a horrid, atrocious, just plain awful excuse for a brother! Yuuri should not have to put up with you, and if you so much as make him worry about your approval on something again I will not hesitate from making you into a eunuch, frying your (Some things, Flora refused to translate.) I also hope you will take anything about this letter up with me directly so as not to bring Yuuri any more undue stress.
Sincerely, Wolfram Von Bielefelt.

Wolfram… kinda has experience writing letters formally since he's a prince and all, but at the same time you can't expect him to keep his temper in check. Poor Flora tried so hard to make it nicer, but there was only so much she could do… idk, I liked it.

Feel free to tell me it sucks, but at least write a review. I thrive on that shit bro. Seriously.

WAAAHHHHHH FEED ME MOTIVATION! I feel so unmotivated right now T^T
I have no excuse for the shortness of this chapter.

BBBBFFB: Well sorry, but I have to push myself just a little bit. If I didn't then I would only update, hmmm, let's say... rarely? I wonder what author in their right mind would leave a story hanging for more than a month... that's just mean to the readers. (wwnnsnmsnm)

makyone: It wasn't much of a confrontation, but that's because I feel Yuuri wouldn't want to... idk, kill him or anything. Not yet anyway o.0

Wallflower: He's not an intelligent sibling.

pinkprincessa13: I'm not sure if it's a good thing Yuuri has self-control or not... if he didn't, at least it might have been more fun to write .

luvdawinx: A cure-all? "If only if only the woodpecker cried..."
