Chapter 11: Yuuri's POV

We arrive and I look at my right side to make sure I'm still holding Wolfram's hand. Thank God, he's there, and he's looking at everything in the bathroom like it was one of the seven world's wonders. Ever since he lost his memory he's been acting like this, is really cute actually. I think I have been given the rare opportunity to know how he was before the war, before he knew Conrad was human, when he was young and innocent.

Before I have time to warn him about my mother, the devil comes through the door.

"Yuu-chan, Ken-chan, Wolf-chan! you're back!" she squeals, I can see she's on her way to hug Wolfram, but Murata rapidly stands up and gets in her way.

"Mama-san! I need to talk to you for a bit" he says and takes her by the arm, probably to the kitchen, not minding the fact that he's soaking wet. Thanks Murata, I'll remember your sacrifice. There is one change of clothes here ready for me. Because mom is always expecting me.

Wolfram is looking at me with puzzled eyes. "Who is she?" he asks cutely.

"She's my mom, you call her mama-san because she's going to be your mother in law" I answer and offer him a hand to get out of the tub.

"I see, she seems nice"

A year ago I would have used this opportunity to get rid of the Fiancé label, but for some reason, when he asked me who I was, my automatic answer was Your fiancé. I almost fell to the ground laughing when he replied Really? but you are a guy right? Luckily, he came to terms with his liking of men much faster than I did.

Did I really just think that?

Whatever, we need to go see what Murata is doing. We dry off and I give the change of clothes to Wolfram. I put a towel over his hair and mess with it a little. Before, he would have scoffed and said he could do it himself, but now he looks at me with thankful eyes and a smile. Now that I think about it, Wolfram wouldn't have left me give the dry clothes to him and stay wet myself, he would have said something along the lines of The king can't afford to catch a cold; it's really nice to be able to be the one taking care of him now. I smile back and we go out of the bathroom.

Murata is already into his dry clothes too. He keeps a couple of shirts and pants here at all time, being that we always come back through my tub. Apparently is early morning here and my mom was making breakfast, she offers us some, but we decline, we actually just had dinner.

"Do you want to take a nap Wolf?, it was night when we left" I ask, but he shakes his head as a negative.

"I think you should sleep a little though" he says with concerned eyes. To be honest I don't remember when was the last time I slept, but my body has simply been unable to sleep, maybe because I've been too tense with this whole thing.

"He's right Shibuya, you have barely slept in a week now" Murata adds from behind me.

"That's not healthy Yuu-chan! you have bags under your eyes!" Mom scolds me, when I turn around I see the three of them, arms crossed, completely teaming up against me. I sigh.

"It's just... I really haven't been able to sleep..." I mutter, apparently only Murata heard me.

"Nee(1) Shibuya, do you really wanna turn eighteen looking like that?" Murata says.

Wait! That's right with all the confusion I totally forgot about my birthday! What date is it again?

"July 28th" Mom and Murata answer in one voice, I guess I was thinking out loud.

"So tomorrow is my birthday?!" they nod. I'm so lost in space right now. I give up. "Okay I'll take a nap in my bedroom then, wake me for lunch?"

"Sure, sweetie" Mom answers and I head to my bedroom, I give a look to Wolfram first to check if he's okay with being here alone. He smiles, I guess that's a yes.

While I go up the stairs I can hear a conversation coming from the kitchen.

"So tomorrow Yuuri turns eighteen?" Wolfram asks, I guess they nodded because I hear no answer.

"Mmm... any of you know how old I am?"

I gulp. Silence again, I doubt it was because they nodded again.

(1) Normally, when I want my characters to say "nee" I change it to "hey", "say" or some other equivalent, but there it just didn't sound right, so I left it like that.
