Chapter 12 – Insecurity

I just want to enjoy this moment together (Wolfram von Bielefeld)

Yuri opened his eyes slowly. He turned his head to his left and smiled softly upon seeing his fiancé still-sleeping figure beside him. He got up from the bed quietly and walked to his wardrobe, grabbing a casual clothes for him and entered the bath.

When he finished though, the blonde was still sleeping soundly.

The King smiled softly and sat on the bed. "Wolfram," he called his fiancé's name once as his hand stroke the blonde hair. "Wake up, Wolf. Breakfast is ready."

When the prince didn't make a single move, Yuri sighed and pinched his fiancé's cheeks. But even with that, the other was showing no sign of waking up.

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to attack you, you know."

The blonde let out a soft, "Ngh…" and shifted his body slightly.

The double black sighed and scooted closer to his fiancé. He grabbed the other's chin softly, and pressed his lips to the blonde's. When Wolfram's lips parted slightly, he pushed his tongue inside, exploring the wet cavern of his fiancé.

After a couple of seconds, the blonde finally let out a soft moan and opened his eyes wide.

Yuri drew out his tongue and smiled. "Good morning, Wolfram."

Wolfram's face turned beet red as he stuttered, "Yu – Yuri! You…!"

*punch*

"Ouch, Wolfram!" the Maou rubbed his sore cheek. "Don't be so violent so early in the morning!"

"Wimp!" Wolfram yelled loudly. "What the hell were you doing?!"

"Eh? Just… trying to wake you up?"

"Don't wake me up like that, YOU WIMP!"

*punch*

—*.*—

"Good morning, Dad!" greeted Yuri as he entered the dining room along with his fiancé following closely behind him.

"Oh, good morning, Yuri!" replied his father as he put down the newspaper he was reading.

"Where's Shori?" asked the double black as he sat in front of his father.

"Ah… He's in Swiss right now, undergoing the training from Bob."

"I see… When will he be back?"

"Who knows? Sometimes he's gone for a week, sometimes more than a month."

"Eh? Doesn't he still have to attend his classes?"

"Hmm… I think he just go to his classes when it's exam season."

"Ohh…" Yuri nodded once. 'Wait, was that even allowed? What a carefree college!'

—*.*—

3 PM – Yuri's room.

"K.O! YOU LOSE!"

"What the hell!" Wolfram threw away his controller madly. "What kind of game is this?! I keep losing!"

"That's because you suck, Wolfram…" said Yuri as he yawned loudly. They have been playing King Fighter repeatedly after breakfast for hours just because Wolfram refused to accept his lose and forced Yuri to have another match.

"Whatever! Another match, Yuri!"

'What?! Are you kidding me?!' screamed the double black inwardly. "No. I'm tired."

"Fine!" the blonde grabbed his controller again. "I'll just play against the computer then."

Yuri sighed and said, "Just give up, Wolfram. You have been playing for hours!"

"No way! I will win this match no matter how many times I have to try! I'm a soldier, after all!"

'Still can't accept your lose, huh?' Thought the double black as he watched his fiancé undergo a match against the computer.

"K.O! YOU LOSE!"

"Aarrgghhh! What the hell is wrong with this game?!" Wolfram stood up and pointed his index finger towards the big screen. "This game sucks!"

Yuri chuckled shortly and grabbed his controller. He pressed a few buttons and said, "Wolfram, you picked the hardest level, and the enemy you chose has the deadliest power. It's no wonder that you would lose."

"Huh?" the blonde glanced shortly at his fiancé and then back to the screen. "That small girl has the deadliest power? I thought I could win easily if I chose a small girl! What the hell!"

The double black smiled softly upon seeing his fiancé's furious face. "Wolfram," called Yuri softly. He grabbed Wolfram's wrist and pulled him gently into his embrace. The blonde's back was pressed against his chest, and he hugged him from behind tenderly.

"Come on, I'll teach you the combo buttons."

—*.*—

"That small girl has the deadliest power?" Wolfram frowned as he glared at the petite girl on the screen. "I thought I could win easily if I chose a small girl! What the hell!"

"Wolfram." Called Yuri softly.

The blonde was about to respond with a, "What?!" when his fiancé grabbed his wrist and pulled him down gently into his embrace. Yuri's hands was wrapped around his waist as the King whispered, "Come on, I'll teach you the combo buttons." The King's voice was kind, and full of fondness. "It's really deadly. You can win with just one blow."

Wolfram could feel his heart raced quickly. His mind was blank for a moment as he sank in the warmth of the King's body.

'We're so close now. I can feel his steady heartbeat.'

He shifted his body slightly and leaned back his head against his fiancé's chest. The game has long forgotten.

"Yuri…" called the blonde softly.

"Hm?"

"Do you love me?"

"I do."

—*.*—

Yuri smiled softly when his fiancé shifted his body slightly in his embrace, snuggling closer to him, seeking for more warmth.

He tighten his embrace on the blonde's waist and placed soft kisses on Wolfram's hair. 'So he likes to cuddle, huh? No wonder he stopped trashing about in bed whenever I held him close.'

"Yuri." Called the prince suddenly.

"Hm?"

"Do you love me?"

"I do." Answered the King immediately. He huffed out a small sigh and added, "Isn't it obvious, Wolfram?"

There was a short pause before the third prince broke into a chuckle and answered, "Yeah. Your attitude has changed completely around me lately."

'Does he finally believe me?' thought Yuri inwardly. 'Does he know that I love him?'

"If people see how you behave around me now, they won't believe me if I say that you used to avoid and reject me before." Said Wolfram softly. A small smile was playing on his lips. He didn't mean any offense with his words, but it pained the Maou all the same.

"Ne, Wolfram…" called Yuri with a quiet voice. "Yesterday when we arrived here… I overheard what you said to Murata."

The double black could feel the person in his embrace tensed slightly upon hearing his words.

"You know, Wolf… I won't leave you for some girl." The King paused for a moment before he added, "I don't want anyone else but you."

"You don't know the future, Yuri. You will fall in love with a girl someday, marry her, and have as many children as you want with her." Replied Wolfram with a strained voice.

"Why do you keep saying things like that?" At his fiancé's reply, Yuri's chest tighten painfully. "Do you want me to?" He gulped shortly, swallowing his pain and anger before he whispered, "Do you want me to leave you for some girl?"

"Hell no!" the blonde yelled loudly in response. He untangled himself from the King's embrace and stood up. His back was facing his fiancé. "Of course I don't want to, Yuri! How could you say that?!"

"Then why did you say things like that?" the double black frowned and stood up as well. "Why do you keep thinking that I will leave you for some unknown girl?!"

The soldier turned around, tears forming in his eyes. "Because you will, Yuri!"

"I won't!"

"You will!" Wolfram yelled his lung out—it made Yuri jerked back a bit.

The King approached his fiancé and touched his shoulder. "Wolf—"

*slap*

The blonde slapped the King's hand immediately and glared at him. "You said that I'm disgusting, Yuri! And I know you always preferred girls! I know that you will leave me someday! I just… just…" By the end of his sentence, Wolfram broke into tears and ran away from the room, out of the house.

—*.*—

"If people see how you behave around me now, they won't believe me if I say that you used to avoid and reject me before." Said Wolfram softly as he recalled the memories of their relationship four years ago.

There was a short moment of comfortable silence before Yuri broke it with his words. "Ne, Wolfram… Yesterday when we arrived here… I overheard what you said to Murata."

'What?' The blonde tensed. 'What did he hear?'

"You know, Wolf… I won't leave you for some girl… I don't want anyone else but you."

The blonde clenched his fist unconsciously. "You don't know the future, Yuri." Said Wolfram with a strained voice.

'Must we have this kind of conversation now? When we're just enjoying each other's company? When I finally got you to relax comfortably around me?' Wolfram clenched his fist. 'Fine, Yuri. If that's what you want.'

"You will fall in love with a girl someday, marry her, and have as many children as you want with her."

"Why do you keep saying things like that?" whispered the King with a pained voice.

'You asked for it, Yuri.'

"Do you want me to? Do you want me to leave you for some girl?"

Wolfram's eyes widen in horror. "Hell no!" He stood up quickly and added, "Of course I don't want to, Yuri! How could you say that?!"

'How could he say that like it's nothing?!'

"Then why did you say things like that? Why do you keep thinking that I will leave you for some unknown girl?!"

The prince turned around with tears forming in his eyes. "Because you will, Yuri!"

"I won't!"

"You will!" Wolfram yelled loudly.

Yuri jerked back in surprise before he stepped closer and touched the blonde's shoulder. "Wolf—"

*slap*

Wolfram slapped the King's hand immediately and glared at him. "You said that I'm disgusting, Yuri!"

'Did you forget that?'

"And I know you always preferred girls! I know that you will leave me someday! I just… just…"

'I just want to enjoy this moment together, while you're still in love with me!'

The blonde knew that the other wouldn't understand his feelings no matter what he said, so he just glared at his fiancé once more, and left the room.

To be continued...

A/N: Wow, writing this chapter is really tiring. At first I had planned to make this chapter full of fluff, but then I thought, "Wait, this is just their second day of honeymoon, and there's no way Wolfram could trust Yuri's love after he had insulted Wolfram badly in the first chapter!" And so, I changed my plan and write an angst instead for this chapter. But by the end I finished it, I got depressed by Wolfram's feelings and… well, I think I'm the type that brings character's emotions into my own (at least when I'm writing them).

But because this chapter is an angst (and because this chapter is rather short), I promise that I will update this story faster than usual, so please don't forget to leave a review for me!
