A dose of one's own medicine
Chapter 2
He remained in his peaceful, welcoming slumber all the way up until he could feel the sun shining on his body. At first, he couldn't tell if the other body was still there or not, but he felt something warm against areas that didn't work to well with warmness. He slowly opened his still groggy eyes and looked to the figure beside him with his mouth hung open. He wanted to get up from there, to explore his surroundings, but he was caught in what seemed to be a vice grip from the other boy...
Yuuri was starting to slowly wake up and felt as something moved in his arms. His eyes peeped opened and he looked at the other boy and nearly screamed but remembered the night before. "Are you alright Wolf? Is your head feeling better now?" He smiled as he slowly let go of the other boy.
"I am just fine; I never said my head hurt in the first place. You just assumed as much" Wolfram played off his normally snotty and annoyed personality very well at that moment, and was two seconds from throwing his feet over the edge of the bed, that was until he heard a very strange noise that was loud and piercing. "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!" The blond mazoku first jumped to Yuuri, frightened a little, then with his knightly bravery, he rolled them off the bed. threatening to undo the object that was cooing its death cry. Within a minute, Wolfram had grabbed up Yuuri's bat, wielding it like a sword and jumped on the bed. The little mechanical alarm clock shook with fear...if only it were possible.
Yuuri looked at Wolfram and sighed as he went into the snobby mode he hated so much. And nearly yelped as he was tackled and then rolled off the bed. He stood up as soon as the other moved away from him to grab the bat. He looked at him and then at the alarm clock. He walked over to the device and turned it off. "Look you need to stop overreacting to things. I know what can hurt us and what can't. I also know that this is a strange world to you, but you need to trust me. I promise that nothing will hurt you here if you stay near me and trust me." He was starting to get a little annoyed at the prince.
Wolfram looked at Yuuri, dumb founded. Yuuri had actually told him to, for once, stick close to him, instead of telling him to leave him alone. The blond knew that he could trust Yuuri deep down with something like this. After all, he was the one who had a thing for wanting to protect people so much that Wolfram had gotten dragged along, albeit willingly, to help him. He dropped the wooden bat to the ground and heard a light 'thud' as it struck. He realized how much of a fool he was making himself out to be, but he wouldn't let Yuuri win. "Well I am not the only one who reacts about unusual things, you wimp." He climbed from the bed and walked to stare Yuuri in the eye. He could trust Yuuri, except when it came to cheating and flirting. He just had to say it before bending down in front of Yuuri in those very, very tight jeans to pick up his clothes from the night before. "Cheater"
Yuuri watched as Wolfram dropped the bat and sighed. He was sure that he was going to have to tackle him to get it away from him. He then watched as he got down off the bed and looked him in the eyes. He swallowed and looked at him. He swore that it looked like the other was going to kiss him. But instead, all he got was a simple word from him and he frowned. He then turned away as he saw him bend over and pick up the clothes. He turned and looked at the kitchen. He knew his mom was supposed to be up by now. He walked in and found a note saying she was going to be out of town. "Hey Wolf, get ready we're going to school now."
Wolfram put a hand on his hip and raised a brow. He was going to school...with Yuuri? How did Yuuri even expect him, a full-blooded demon to interact with a swarm of humans? He sighed as his bare feet padded across the floor to retrieve his still soggy boots. "I swear, what in the name of Shino is this, a punishment for putting up with his flirting?" He asked himself under his breath, but because Yuuri wanted it, he would grant him this, just this once.
Yuuri looked at Wolfram and then started to laugh a little." Hey Wolf, before we go to school would you like to get some clothes that you want? I'm sure we could find you something that you like. And guess what you are in my world now and humans are the only people that live here, and you have to deal with that until I find a way to get you back home." He walked over and opened the fridge to see if he could find something to eat.
"Oh shut up you wimp! I can deal with a few humans, after all I deal with YOU." He played with the pants for a moment, he was actually starting to like those clothes, and the only thing he didn't like was how loose the waist band was so he figured he would fix it. He lifted the turtle necks him in his mouth and rolled down the band of the pants to his hips where they finally decided to work right. He looked to Yuuri. "I think it will be just fine for now..."
Yuuri was seething at the comment and was going to try and make Wolfram realize that he wasn't the wimp he called him everyday. He walked over and stopped as he watched him pull up the shirt and roll down the pants. He then took a hold of his shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Now you listen here. I have tried being nice to you and what do I get? I get insulted every time. I want you to try and not be so damn stubborn for once." He couldn't help the way he was talking to him at the moment, but he had had enough.
Wolfram blinked in surprise. Yuuri had never been so assertive. It surprised him and it also scared him a little. He looked away. Yuuri took him wrong...calling him a wimp was his way of show how much he...so damn it all, he did care. Yuuri wasn't the one always getting treated like he didn't matter, that he was a burden and a mistake. "Let me go, Yuuri" He demanded, still surprised and worried, then he whispered low to where he hoped Yuuri wouldn't hear. "You aren't the one getting treated like a hopeless mistake" Afterward...Wolfram decided it best not to say anything at all.
Yuuri looked at Wolfram and let him go. He wasn't trying to make him mad or even hurt. But he was just so damn tired of how he was treated by the other. "Wolf, look, I'm sorry I yelled at you. It's just that I hate that you are always putting me down like that. For once I was hoping we could try and get along." He reached out and pulled the other into a hug and sighed a little. He had heard what he had said and felt bad for him." Wolf, I don't think you are a mistake at all. So please don't be so hard on yourself."
These actions surprised Wolfram more than any other and his face blushed. "I-I-I didn't say anything like that...you're just hearing things." He blurted, trying to cover his tracks. After that, he couldn't help the hand that had come up all on it's own to rest on Yuuri's back. Yuuri was being himself again...the person that didn't like to see anyone hurt or in pain. "It's fine that you yelled at me...I suppose you took my actions wrong...and after all, you are the king..."
He looked down at him and frowned. "Wolf, you know that you can talk to me about anything. I want you to be more comfortable around me. Please, tell me what's wrong." He was rubbing little circles in the small of the other's back to try and relax him a little. He may not have acted like it but he really did care what happen with the other.
Wolfram didn't know how to reply. He really couldn't picture a front he could put up to make Yuuri think he was really okay, or that he didn't care...he was stuck, beyond stuck in that moment. It was even worse to the boy that Yuuri was moving his hands on his back, a definite show of tenderness that he wasn't used to. He blushed, hoping Yuuri didn't see that either. "There's nothing wrong with me. I am a soldier and a demon...I can't be easily bothered. And why would you want me to be more comfortable around you?" He frowned "It's you who has the problem with me" He squirmed a little in the other's grasp
Yuuri looked at him again. "Wolf just because you are a solider, doesn't mean that you can't get hurt. I know that there is something wrong that you aren't telling me. I'm just trying to look out for you." He sighed and pulled him closer to his body. "Even though I say all those things I truly do care for you. I just wish you wouldn't be so hard on me all the time. I can't help what I say to you most of the time." He smiled as he continued to rub his back." Wolf if you give me a little more time to adjust, I think that I could accept the fact that we are to be married."
Wolfram stopped trying to fight him. Why was Yuuri saying all these things now? Wasn't Yuuri mad because of their argument yesterday? Hadn't he told him last night not to take them being so close the wrong way? The prince was confused. He didn't know if he should be happy sad or even mad right now. His legs shook and his hands on Yuuri's shoulders were unsteady. Though he did see one thing in those words...he could learn to accept it...not that he wanted to, just that he could accept it. "The only problem with me is you...the way you treat me always just like everyone else and sometimes worse than others. Then you always try to avoid me, not even stopping to think that I actually give a damn." He stopped... Shit, he was in for it now. He had totally let it all slip past those pink lips without a second thought
Yuuri frowned as he looked at Wolfram. He didn't know that he was the reason the prince was sad right now. He really felt bad about it. He pulled away so he could look into his eyes and sighed. "Wolf, I am really sorry that I treated you that way. I never meant to hurt you like that. I would never want to hurt you or anyone else. I promise right now to be kinder to you." He reached out and ran his fingers through Wolfram's hair as he looked at the prince. He was very upset with himself right now.
Wolfram shivered with those hands through his hair and stepped away to find a place to sit so he could slip his boots on. "Yeah I know you, Yuuri, you don't mean to ever hurt anyone, and you're good enough to treat them all the same, even if you don't care about them" Wolfram said, tugging to still damp boots on his feet as he said that double sided comment. This was truly going to be a long day...
Yuuri looked at Wolfram as he put his boots on and gave him a little smile. "So, does this mean that you're ready to go now?" He was going to ignore that comment for now. But he was going to have a talk with the other later. "Are you going to be able to handle school with me today?"
He sighed and looked up at Yuuri. "Yes, I think I will be able to, they are just people after all, I suppose, and there can be no school worse than being taught by Annisina or Gunter" He stood and waited for Yuuri, his hand on his hip just barely above the line of his pants and encircled in a belt loop.
Yuuri looked at Wolfram and walked over to him and took a hold of his hand, leading him out the door. He then closed and locked the door.
