This one's a tad shorter than the other, but I like it a little better. I think it'll gradually get more intresting as it goes. Anywayz. You people, you MUST inspire MEEEE. Give me Ideas. I'll use 'em! I will! If you want spoilers, btw, just ask. Tell me how you liked this chapter. Tell me what you think of my OC.
Anyway, R&R!
I knew then and there that Wolfram had just given up. I imagined that his heart had shattered the moment he saw me doing...WHATEVER he saw me doing. I believed, myself, that from then onward...Wolf would just be one of my personal soldiers. He would be like a "Gwendal" to me, and somewhere inside me...I was a little bothered by that. When he walked through my front door, he shut it gently. Did he cry...when he walked up to my room? Did he cry on the way up? If he didn't go to my room, did he cry when he was in a dark, secluded corner? I couldn't help but to run my thoughts of ragging curiosity. Ah, anyway...when he walked through the front door, I stood out there for a while, just wondering...What the HECK did I do? Of course, I always questioned my actions...especially around the fireball.
I hatched an idea though...I was going to make the blonde like me again. I don't remember what exactly convinced me to do that...considering my heavy wanting of the "just friends" status with Wolfram then. I think it had something to do with...Just, please don't get angry with me! You punch hard! But really, and I kept this secret from myself, he was just...so cute when he was that way. I couldn't stand it. So here's what I did...
I walked inside on tip-toes, swiftly and calmly, as to not alert anyone. Although, my mother was waiting at the door. She ruins ALL my plans, I swear.
"Yuuuuuuuuuu~chan!" Mom called, "Wol-chan looked really mad when he walked in! You did kiss him-" she got about an inch closer. "Didn't'cha! Hummmmmmm!" She was so excited...I wasn't going to tell her that it might've been the straw that broke to camel's back...or in Conrad's case, "The hair that broke the 'Engiwadu' bird's spine." So I explained a story that made absolutely no sense to me.
"Well...yeah!" I explained with a massive grin. Not my usual, but bigger and cheesier. "Right now, me and him are gonna go upstairs and kiss some more! Then we're gonna elope!" I really meant for it to be sarcastic...guess she didn't get it.
"Okay Yu-chan!" Her face turned determined. She pointed a finger up in the air, as if making a point. "I will bring up some sweets!"
"Right...okay." I dashed up the staircase...then realized...
I popped my head out from the hallway, were Mom was still standing there. "Mom, when's dad coming home?"
…
"Oh! Shoma...he'll be home next week. He's out on business a lot, Yu-chan."
That solved one mystery.
As I walked up the stairs for the second time, my hand sweated on the protective bar. They shook slightly. What was I going to say to him? I sighed, voice shaking ever so thinly. I reached the last step, turned right. I turned to my left then, and faced my door. Should I knock..? It was MY room...
Knock Knock...
…
Knock Knock...
…
My hand was on the door-knob. I turned it hardly, and it wouldn't budge any farther.
I gulped before I broke...
"Wolf..ram...are you in here?"
I heard footsteps. Sweat broke from my face.
I hearkened his breath, though it was light...it shivered. I'm sure he hadn't been crying , but...could he have been...
"Y-" he vacated his throat, "Yeah..." Still, it quivered.
"Can you...let me in?" I licked my lips, they were chapped and irritated.
His nails dug into to door. He wanted to say no. He wanted to...
"Yeah..." The lock made a noise as it unlocked. Click. Wolf walked away. He sat on my bed, tapping is foot against the ground, completely aloof of the nervousness he was showing.
I opened the walkway without rush. I shut it with ease. I walked over to my bed, looked down at Wolfram, who was looking straight ahead. I sat.
"Tell me what I did...and what I can do to change your emotion about this." I looked at the wall infront. If I made eye contact with Wolf, I would've melted.
A voice was waiting to be heard. It never came. Wolfram was going to remain quiet then...I let out some air, getting annoyed with him. I probably sat there for about 10 minutes before he decided to speak. I played with my hair as he was deciding to speak or not...not that he had a real choice. Although, I'm not sure what measures I would've taken to get him to speak...
"You hugged her...in once told me that the Japanese don't hug in public...only couples...if anyone."
Hey, what can I say...it's true. The Japanese aren't big on hugging in public. But I hadn't seen this girl in...forever...I just...forgot? I had a mad crush on her when she first came here, sure, but...despite that...we were the only ones in the cafe...It wasn't my fault really. I mean...
I couldn't convince myself that I didn't do anything wrong...I instantly felt bad. It would've been the same situation if I had kissed her,to Wolfram, because I had told him that as an excuse to not hug him as I hug to others...like Conrad or Greta.
"That's true Wolf, but I hadn't seen her in a whi-"
"Hug me."
"Huh?"
He turned to face me. His face had a "want" look to it. He looked as though nothing could stop him from getting this, not even me.
"Hug me." He demanded again, this time clearer and less urgent.
I didn't see the point, but I did it. Though it took about every ounce of might in my weak bones, I gave it a shot. I started with confirming that I'd do it. Then he closed his eyes...which I didn't understand...
I leaned in, tilted my head...then stopped as I realized how close our faces were...how close WE were...
I blushed, obviously. I could feel Wolf smiling. He felt the heat, and that made it all the hotter. I moved my arms around, slowly, and then embraced. He would ask for it to be tighter, so I made it nice and tight before hand. So, we sat together, Wolf in my arms, for minutes. I could hardly breath with the natural stench of Wolfram. Vanilla. Something like honey...It was intoxicating...and I loved it.
Little did I know, he was thinking the same.
After a while, and my arms were burning at this point, the brat said something to me...out of no where, and it caught me off guard in such a way, it scared me.
"You DO realize you cannot be with a human due to your little predicament, right?"
My eyes widened. How'd he know about that...as if it wasn't obvious, yeah. But, Wolf doesn't know how people age here! Gwen must've told him...and, he IS right...
I don't think I can be with any human. Considering the fact that, humans in the alternate world FEAR ME...
I have to be with a demon...it doesn't necessarily have to be Wolf...or a MAN in that matter, but...
My head lowered in disappointment to the realization. I can't break off this engagement. I don't want Wolf to hurt again. But...I wondered if it would be worth risking my own happiness for Wolfram's. In any case, I decided I'd bite back, since he basically ruined my day with bringing me to this realization.
"Well, I know that, but that doesn't mean I have to be with you, now does it?" It really slipped out, it wasn't that thought out...I instantly regretted it.
Wolfram stiffened under my arms, then he buried his face into my shoulder, turning what I thought was the second biggest mistake of my life, into a basis of a broader relationship.
"You don't think I know that?" He shook. His hand went to my chest. His fist tightened around the fabric of my clothes. I might have felt it damp.
"I know I could lose you, Yuri. You've threatened me so many times...You're the king. You could have anyone. You could have a woman for that matter, Yuri. I just stand in the way of your future. I know it was an accidental, and know you didn't know. And I know...I know you've tried to get out of this without hurting me, but you know what? I'm just not going to try anymore. "
Then...why didn't he break it off? Why didn't I?
...that...I'm not sure of.
"Wolfram, what can I do..."
"Do what you please. We're getting married soon, anyway."
"We...are?"
Wolfram was slowly being restored to his old self.
"Uhm, duh...Hennachoko. We had a set date and everything. Mishlingia 3, year 4,634. Idiot."
...dumbfounded.
"But, I thought you basiclly just broke up with me...just then?"
He looked out the window quickly. "Lovers quarrel." He smiled a little.
"Wolf...were you just playing with me then?"
"Hardly, boy. I'm still angry with you about..." His mouth straightened, the room went still for a minute as he organized his thoughts. I waited patiently, staring intently at his big, emerald green eyes with anticipation.
"...a list of things, really. Let's start with the obvious, 'you're a wimp' then there's the fact that you ogle about ever single young girl that walks by! Especially that one harlot that served us drinks! Also, you hugged that one girl today, and you already know why I'm so mad about that! AND YOUR OBSESSION WITH MY BROTHER-!"
"Wolf! Calm down!"
At this point, his hands were raised in firsts, with determination, he was breaking into a sweat as his voice got heavier, wetter, and uneven with some sort of agitation. He shook with it, as if he were excited to yell out my faults...
He has such a warped sense of...whatever.
He cleared his throat. He continued to look away from me as he spoke.
"Ahem. Well, yes. I'm very angry with you, as I said. So, I will ignore you. I won't talk to you. I'll not acknowledge you...until you say you are sorry."
"Oh, okay. Sorry Wol-"
He put his finger to my lips, pressing them up against mine...bringing back a shaking memory of the night before. It made me cringe, which got Wolf's attention, making his eyebrows raise in suspicion, he decided he'd stop with what he was doing and interrogate me.
He started with tracing his finger down my face, all the way to my collar, then gripping it with his fist. Of course, I didn't say anything, or flinch. I just sighed and told him to get on with what he was gonna ask. The brat.
"Okay, wimp. Answer me. Why'd you cringe just then? Don't tell me you're that afraid of me." He smiled, as though that were true.
I shook my head, "Woolf, it's nothing!"
"Ha! It is something! If you didn't want me to suspect you of anything, you would've said something like...'Huh?'."
Crap. I was in an even worse situation than that one time, when it was the bottom of the ninth, bases were loaded, and the team was tied on zero...because both teams were at equal strength. The other team was up to bat, and it was up to me to get the guy on base three out...
"YURI!"
"AH!"
He screamed my name, I screamed in fear. His eyes narrowed. He thought, wimp, and I thought, crap, that scared me!
"Y-yeah Wolfram?" I giggled as his grip got tighter. He pulled me closer, and demanded I tell him. I had to...or he'd never let me live it down. He could tell secrets about me no one else knew! I had to...
"WELL, YOU SEE..." I spoke nervously, face red, talking loudly but quietly. "YOU GOT DRUNK THAT ONE NIGHT, WOLF...AND...AND..." I trembled. A bead of sweat broke on both of our faces. Wolf and I gulped together. I was about to say it, but Wolfram opened for me.
"I did something to you, didn't I? Damn, I should never drink...Yuri?" He looked up at me. "Don't tell me what I did. I don't want to know. Just make sure I don't drink around you. Okay?"
Eh?
"Y-yeah, okay...Wolf...sure."
"Thanks. Anyway, Yuri," He put his finger back to my lip, not regarding the fact about how incredibly seductive it was, " You can't apologize like that! You have to choose the right moment. I want it to be when you truly feel like you are sorry. Okay?"
I didn't understand...hell, I didn't understand anything then. I mean, Wolf wasn't acting like himself, I wasn't acting like myself. We were both acting so weird around eachother. I mean, Wolfram was being so...open then. It was surprising.
So, thus ended the first day of my days back on earth. We both went to sleep that night...Wolf was originally on the floor, but had somehow made his way on my bed sometime while I slept, and took up most of the bed. He went to his first karate lesson. I watched, seeing as I had nothing else better to do. He seemed to already...and excuse my french, "kick ass"
I was actually enjoying my time...until I got a text message...that made my time of happiness increase substantially. The text was from Kanari.
The text was from Kanari...
Due to my last encounter with Wolfram, where I'm almost sure he cried because of Kanari and me Hugging, I kept this message discrete.
This message gave me instructions on a place to meet for tea. Alone. Without Murata or Wolf. A date. With a girl.
I've had dates...with Wolf. Just one. But never with a girl. I was baffled. A girl...wanted to go out on a date with me. Me. I...
I looked up at Wolfram throwing violent kicks at his classmates in the dojo, gradually making them fall over in pain in the lower abdomen area, then watching the Sensei coming over to discipline Wolf...Wolf flipping him...Sensei praising him for the skill, and so on...
I looked back down. I re-read the message. I looked up at Wolf, then I looked back down. I re-read the message, then looked up at Wolf.
I gulped, "O-oi, Wolf?"
He stopped mid-kick and looked around toward me.
He smiled happily, "Hey Yuri! Want to spar!"
I flinched. Pulled on a giggle...like a mask. "No...no, that's all right. Hey, mom just told me I should go get some eggs for her curry bread. Do you mind if I leave for a bit? I'll be back to walk you home."
He looked slightly disappointed, but he replied, "No, I don't mind."
"Thanks, bye!" I stood up, and walked out the door.
...
I got butterflies in my stomach.
^-^ I'ma douche. YOU GUYS MUST HATEEE MEEE.
R&R.
