A/N: Today is 24 April! It's my one-year anniversary of my first ever post here on ff! This story is in celebration of that :)

Chapter 1 - See Things My Way

:Yuuri's POV:

"Wolf, I'm sorry!" I shouted semi-playfully as he shook me back and forth while accusing me of cheating.

"You wimp! How could you do this? You spend so much time on Earth and I never get to see you! How do I know you're not cheating on me?" He usually looked angry when he did this, but he just looked really sad this time. Like he actually cared, not just because we were supposed to be engaged.

"How can I cheat on you? I've told you a hundred times that my proposal was an accident!"

"Hmmph!" Wolfram let go of me and crossed his arms as he looked away.

I just tried to laugh it off but it ended up sounding more like an awkward sigh. The truth was, I was starting to really like Wolfram. In the time I'd been in Shin Makoku, I'd become enamored by him. I'd seen his metamorphosis from bratty to loving. He'd hated humans. But I was able to help him see the error of his ways, and we agree on a lot of things now. And he was so gorgeous. Those blonde locks and piercing eyes. And his uniform suited him so well. Of course, he could wear dirty dish rags and still look amazing.

I'm not afraid to admit that I'm starting to have feelings for him. Well, I'm not afraid to admit it to myself. But I'm afraid to say it to anyone else. Especially Wolf. I know he cares about me because I'm the Maou and he's my protector. And I like to consider him a friend but... I don't know how he feels about that. I mean, he's known as one of the most beautiful mazoku in this world. And, as well as we get along now, I still can't help but feel inferior to him.

He could have any suitor he wants. So why would he want me? I'm just average looking at best. And I'm not that smart. And I'm a human. From Earth. I know he doesn't hate humans anymore, but that doesn't mean he likes them either. I'm fairly sure the only reason he makes such a big deal out of our engagement is because I'm the Maou and he doesn't want to reject his king. He doesn't want me because he wants me. I can't take advantage of that. It would be wrong. Whoever I do end up marrying will have to return my feelings. I couldn't dream of of marrying someone just because I had to. So, no matter how often I had less than polite thoughts about Wolfram and no matter how hard I had to fight to keep myself from blushing every time he came near me, I knew nothing was ever going to happen between us. I've been afraid to do anything about it until now, but I can't let it go on like this.

"Wolfram, we need to discuss this."

:Wolfram's POV:

"Discuss what, wimp?" I didn't look at him. I knew what he meant. But I wasn't ready for it.

"Our engagement."

"You wish to set a date for the wedding?" I humored myself. Of course he didn't want that. Still, I glanced at him with hope in my eyes.

I never thought I'd end up like this. Not only did I no longer hate humans, I was in love with one. Well, a half-human, but that was human enough. Yuuri taught me that humans weren't our enemy. And I'll always love him for that. He taught me some of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned. Right now he was unknowingly teaching me how to forget about loving someone who will obviously never love me back.

Why would he ever love me? I was so awful to him when he first landed in this world. I still am awful to him. But that's only because I love him so much. I'm so afraid if I change anything about myself he'll stop wanting to be my friend. And I couldn't live with that. I already knew he didn't take our engagement seriously and that it never meant anything to him. It would be too painful to have him dislike me any more.

Yuuri is my whole world. We have a daughter together. Granted, he adopted her and I just kind of stormed in and claimed her as my own, but still, she thinks of both of us as her fathers. What could be more special than that? And the precious bear bees. We shared a bed. I love it so much, being a family with him. And I'm so afraid of losing it. That's why I pretend to believe that someday he will marry me. But I'm starting to get tired of lying to myself, and I'm getting even more tired of believing it.

"Um... no." He said, just as I predicted.

"What is it, then?" I asked, pretending to be intrigued and curious even though I was dying inside.

"I want to take back my proposal."

"You can't. I accepted, Yuuri, that means we're engaged."

"But... I didn't mean to propose to you. I... I don't want to marry you. It's not anything personal... I just... can't see us together."

"I see." I nodded. What else could I do? If this was happening, who was I to fight it?

"I'm sorry..." He looked so conflicted. I felt bad immediately. He shouldn't worry about my feelings.

"It's fine."

"What? You're not going to fight me or anything?"

"No. Yuuri... I can see you really don't want this." I looked into his eyes, trying to get my fill before they would officially no longer be mine to gaze at. "If you're never going to marry me... then I will formally reject your proposal."

"You... you will?"

"Yes. Just say the word. But only if you're absolutely sure. I would make a great husband for you, Yuuri, but I suppose you wish to explore your other options. I understand. If you just give me the okay I'll have a dinner party organized at which we can make the announcement." I wanted so badly to tell him how I felt. But what good would it do?

"Announcement?"

"Yes, that is the custom. We've been engaged for so long, we must make it known that we are both available again."

"Ok."

"I'll send one of the maids to remove my things from your room." I looked down. I could feel my face heating up; I was about to cry.

"Remove...?"

"Of course." I did my best to keep my voice even. "It would be highly inappropriate for me to continue sharing a bed with you."

"I guess that's true..." He pondered this and put his hand on his chin. "But... we're still good, right? You're not upset with me, are you?"

"Upset?" I actually cracked a small smile. "Of course I'm not upset with you. You've done nothing wrong."

"Except keep you from dating while I was too scared to tell you we weren't actually going to marry."

"Please, Yuuri, don't worry about that. I've been perfectly happy playing the part of your fiance these past few years."

I didn't look up but I could tell he was staring at me. When he didn't say anything, I turned around and continued to avoid his eyes. I left him standing there and went to begin making the plans for the announcement party.

A/N: So, I realized after I finished writing this whole story that it wasn't turning out that good. And I just finished it about three days ago... so this is all I have that I can post for my anniversary. I apologize, because I'm posting it anyway because I still want to post something, but I don't have enough time to come up with something new for today. So if you read it, I'd appreciate a review, but I'm not going to beg lol.
