Chapter IV: Wolfram
It's been a long time since Yuuri and I have been together.
I'm not saying this because he's gone at this moment. I'm talking about the day we first met.
That was when he fell off the horse, I think. Seeing our supposed-to-be king like that made me immediately assume he would be the worst king ever. Then a little later I piss him off, and then he proposed right after. What kind of guy proposes to someone who just insulted his mother right at his face? Only him.
He, after some time, tried to take the proposal back, like it never happened. But I didn't want that. My pride was so high and the news of us engaged was all over the country now, how could I back down? And with all those (mis)adventures we were in, I think I'm starting to really like him…
But for all those times we were together, I still feel I know so little about him. Only Weller-kyo truly understands Yuuri's personality. They're inseparable. And Yuuri confides to Weller-kyo more often than he does to me, if he ever does at all.
With this feeling ignited, I know I need to get closer to him. If I want to retain our relationship, or make it better, I need to understand him. I need to make up my mind.
So I go to Weller-kyo.
I see him about to enter his room. "Weller-kyo! Wait up!"
I think he's surprised to see me approach him. I know it's very rare of me to do so. "What is it, Wolfram?"
"Oh, it's…it's about…" It's hard for me to say it. I'm not used to tell others what bothers me. I start to get tense. "It's something about…it's—"
I notice him smiling. It's only this time I look entirely stupid in front of him. "What are you smiling for?"
"Nothing, nothing really. You just look…so…"
"CONRAD! WOLFRAM!" Gunter then dashes right at us. "Heika's here!"
At last, he's finally here. "And where did he end up now?"
"I was told he's in a lake outside the capital," Gunter tells us.
"Well then, let's go," says Weller-kyo.
We then go to the said lake, we get Yuuri there, and after that we go back to the castle and to his room—oh, our room. I like to think of it that way.
Gunter then asks, "Heika, are you going to be fine here?"
Yuuri's answer makes me think Gunter shouldn't have asked. "Of course! You sound like I'm not yet used to this. I've been here for a long time already, so I'm okay. Besides, Conrad is here with me, so what can possibly happen?"
Weller-kyo again. I feel like I'm starting to get jealous. "And how about me? I am here for you."
"Oops, sorry. Don't worry, Wolf. I do believe in you," he says with a grin.
Saying that doesn't boost my spirits. "Haven't I proven yet that I'm a good soldier? You spend more time for others than for me. How are we going to work out everything if we go on like this?"
"What 'everything'? …Are you still over the engagement? Come on, Wolf? Sometimes you need to get over it so it won't bother you that much."
"I won't let you end our engagement! I've told you that a hundred times!" I start to really get angry. He's like that again. Why does he want to end it, anyway? For me, we haven't done anything wrong, we actually haven't done anything yet—
We haven't done anything yet. So that's it. I haven't done anything to prove to him that our engagement is not a mistake. What I always do is get mad or jealous or call him a wimp. Maybe that's the reason why he wants to pull off his proposal.
I then look at him. What I see is a radiant smile. And the words following it are even brighter it shines right through me.
"Who says I will break off our engagement? You're my fiancé. I won't change that, and no other can, either."
These words made me blush so I turn my face away from him so he won't see. I then stand up from the bed and walk to the door. "I'm going to do my jobs now," I say as I go out, not turning back at him. My cheeks are still burning red the moment I step out of the room.
Though I said I would do my jobs, I just went up my own room. Having heard him say that he won't end what have been us, I know I still have a chance to show him that he's very important to me. And I'll get him to show me the same.
I lie on my bed and gaze up. I'm still thinking of those words. I didn't expect him to say something like that. I'm still not familiar with him. I begin to wonder, who really is Yuuri?
Or shouldn't I ask myself, how do I see him? With my own eyes, my own mind, my own heart?
The first time, I thought of him as a complete wimp, undeserving of the title he was referred to. He was an absolute klutz, he kept on saying mindless things, and he wasn't prepared to rule his own country. He even got lost in his own castle. He neglected his obligations. He didn't know how to summon his water majutsu, at least consciously.
All of these changed, however, when he first turned into the maou. And when I went with him on his searches for maou artifacts.
I realized then that he was reliable in some ways. He can make good decisions when we totally need it. He has a passion to solve things the peaceful way. He's very influential, not because he is the king, but because he is who he is. He gets through people easily. And I'm one of those people. He makes me believe that the Mazoku and Sou race can actually coexist. He instills in me that there's still some good in this world; that there is no need for killing. And when hope for a better world seems to disappear, he then appears before us with that hope right in his hands. My doubts about him vanished one by one. There's only one thing that I know will never change.
Him being a total wimp.
A knock on my door sent me back to reality. After I give the permission to enter, a soldier comes in.
"Kakka, Yuuri-heika wants you in the counsel room."
Darn, what does he want now? I leave the room and go to the counsel room, and upon entering sees Yuuri, aniue, Gunter and Weller-kyo seated at the table.
"What is this, a meeting of some sort?" I ask.
Yuuri just smiles. "Well, sort of."
He's smiling again. This smile is way unpredictable for me. It's either he's up to something crazy, or he's being too much friendly with others, or other reasons I can't think of. In truth, I only know one thing when he smiles like that.
He's just being happy, being himself.
I wish that someday, I could smile at him the way he does.
And with it, finally confess my true feelings…
