Thirty-one Days of May

Chapter 25

Disclaimer: I know a song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends!

a/n: hello! Anybody out there? I know you're there, cause I hear you breathing. I need reviews. If I don't any, then my friend will not like me anymore. Sniff, do you want me to lose my only friend? *sad violin music* I must smile on, which is today's prompted word, smile. Suggested by the ever pleasant and faithful reviewer, Usa~chan. Hint hint.

May 24

Wolfram was in the house all alone for a change. Yuuri went out with his guy friends and managed to talk the grumpy blonde into staying by promising a sweet surprise when he returned. The others were out doing whatever they usually do to make the story plausible, so let's thank them later for cooperating.

Wolf was snooping around in Shouri's bathroom and found teeth whitening strips. He could not read the characters on the box that passed for writing on this backward world. He opened it out of curiosity and was able to decipher the picture and gain the understanding that he was supposed to put the thing on his teeth to make them white.

He was no fool, he knew looks were important. He had them, but it's been a couple of weeks since he last got to use any Mazoku neem tooth cleaner, so he felt that his smile wasn't as brilliant and stunning like usual.

He opened the packet and smoothed the plastic over his teeth and stood there feeling quite the fool. After a while, he couldn't take the taste anymore and he spit them out in the trash can by the sink. Wolf looked in the mirror and smiled and noticed they were a bit whiter, and he was satisfied that he'd dazzle his black haired fiancé later.

Next, he found some hair gel and knew what it was for. He'd seen Father wear it to the office with his hair slicked back. He squirted some out into his hand and smooshed it down onto his wavy blonde locks. A comb laid on the back of the sink and he tried to run it through, but the stuff had dried and couldn't be combed without a lot of painful pulling.

After digging around in the medicine chest, he came across zit cream and Preparation H. there were no pictures on either tube, so he had no clue. He opened the haemorrhoid cream and smeared some on his face. The smell was ghastly, but he wanted to please his love. The zit cream he dabbed behind he ears for fragrance, and he splashed a double handful of aftershave onto his face.

He carefully replaced all the toiletries and straightened up the bathroom so his future brother-in-law wouldn't know he was snooping around. He gave one last look in the mirror and thought he looked the right fool with his hair globbed up and him smelling like a cheap drug store.

He sat down to watch the magic window into another realm, not paying attention, distracted as he was from the odours rolling off of him. The TV was tuned to an American show by the name of Eureka. He sat patiently, and began to despise his smell so much.

After nearly falling asleep, he heard the front door open and in walked his brunette fiancé.

"Yuuri! I missed you!" he cried after jumping up to greet him.

"Hey Wolf- WHEW! What is that awful smell?" He pinched his nose shut, the noticed what should have been obvious, "umm, what's wrong with you hair? It looks weird."

"I gelled it. And I found some face cream and cologne water. Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Yuuri stood there looking at him in shock. The longer he stood there, the more self conscious Wolf became. After several minutes of silence, Wolf stomped upstairs with a loud growl.

He felt stupid and ashamed. He just tried to make that stupid wimp happy. After a hot shower, he dressed and went downstairs, head slumped in defeat.

"Wolf, you don't have to get made up like that to please me. I love you just like you are. I want you to be you. Not someone who just focuses on looks. Ok?"

"Ok." he sniffled. He looked up and smiled at the brunette.

"I love you smile. It's always so sparkling. Do you whiten with anything?"

"Nope. I guess I'm naturally just sparkly."

Ok. There you have it. I need reviews to thrive, and I am non thriving right now. So send them in. you know you wanna…I'll love you for ever if you do….
