Kiss

Summary: Trust is a weakness that should not be taken
advantage of because it hurts deeply when the one you love betrays
that trust. So far, the relationship between Yuuri and Wolfram has
been steady and Yuuri hasn't been denying their engagement as often.
However, during a party Wolfram sees something he shouldn't have. On
the verge of tears, Wolfram ponders suicide and sinks into a great
depression. As if that weren't enough, an upcoming war breaks out
between Shin Makoku and a neighboring human country. Can Yuuri save
Wolfram and Shin Makoku or will he be able to save one or the other?
Angst, dark chapters ahead.
Normal POV
Wolfram woke up in his bed the next morning and noticed Yuuri and Konrad standing above him with an angry look on their faces. "Why are you looking at me like that? How did you get into my room?" Wolfram was getting very nervous now.He looked at his bed and noticed that the sheets were changed. Then he realized his right arm, the one that he had not been supposedly cut by the glass, was now bandaged up. He felt his pants pocket and didn't feel the pocket knife that had always been there. 'No, they found out. They know everything I"ve been doing to myself. What am I going to do?' Wolfram thought. "Looking for this?" Konrad asked Wolfram. He quickly looked at Konrad only to see him holding the pocket knife. Wolfram gritted his teeth and looked over to Yuuri who had a surprised look on his face which was quickly covered up with an even angrier expression.
'Shimatta! I could care less if Konrad or Hahoaya found out. Anyone but Yuuri. Why did he of all people have to find out and see me like this?' "Wolfram!" Yuuri called angrily, causing Wolfram to jump. "What did you do to yourself? Do you realize that you could've killed yourself?" Yuuri questioned harshly, trying to cover up the concern in his voice. Wolfram was surprised at his tone of voice because this wasn't like Yuuri. 'Or maybe this is his true colors... He's been hiding a lot from me and continues to lie. How much more is he hiding that I don't know about? How much longer is he going to continue lying?' He thought. At this point, Wolfram wanted to hurt himself more for even thinking such things of Yuuri. Yuuri was the last person he'd expect to lie. But now, he couldn't trust Yuuri no matter how much he wanted to believe in him. Wolfram would no longer believe the lies Yuuri was feeding him. "Wolfram!" Yuuri yelled, trying to get Wolfram's attention. "Answer me!" He demanded. "Do you really want to know the truth?" Wolfram glared at the both of them. "You think I'm stupid and that I don't know what you've been doing behind my back! Well I do know!" Wolfram screamed harshly. "What are you talking about-" Konrad was cut off. "Don't act all innocent. I know you're together. I saw you two kissing the night of the party. I had a deep felling there was a connection between the two of you. The signs were all there, but I wanted to believe that my brother and fiance wouldn't backstab me. But I was wrong! I loved you, Yuuri. So much. But now I don't think it's possible for me to ever feel that way about you again!" Wolfram said sadly but disgusted. His words cut deep. But he meant it. Now, Wolfram looked so hurt, so lost with that tear-stained face. It was a look that did not suit him at all.
Both Yuuri nor Konrad had ever seen Wolfram look so wrecked. He never admit or showed his emotions before. They hated to see him this way and hated it more that it was their fault. But right now, that's beside the point. Wolfram saw them kissing. How could they explain that? Would he even listen at this point? Yuuri was about to take a shot at explaining but Wolfram got off the bed, grabbed the knife from Konrad and ran out of the room. Yuuri and Konrad immediately ran after him.
Wolfram ran into the nearest room and locked the door. When Yuuri and Konrad caught up, they started banging on the door, screaming at Wolfram to open it. "Wolfram, open the door!" "Don't even think about cutting yourself again!" However, their screams and warnings were futile. Wolfram replied back angrily. "Cut the crap. Since when do you two care for me!? This is my body and I'll do what I want!" He went into the bathroom and closed the door but forgot to lock it. Wolfram angrily ripped off the bandages and pulled out the knife.
This time, Wolfram cut deeper than before. He wasn't limiting the slashes to his wrists this time either. He went up his arm and then did the next one. He slashed at his left side of the cheek as well. He could hear Yuuri and Konrad's 'concerned' cries. "Arghhh!" Wolfram cried as he had popped one too many veins. The wounds were indeed deeper than before. At least three times deeper. The pain shot up his arm and spread throughout his body. Yes, this time he was hurting himself good. All the other times he didn't even shiver, never mind screaming. But this time he couldn't hold it back and he was violently shaking. For the first time in his life, Wolfram felt weak and helpless. He stopped a moment to catch his breath. The knife slowly dropped from his hands and made a 'splash' noise as it fell a few inches away from Wolfram into the pool of blood surrounding him. He threw his head back against the wall and through watery eyes, spotted the knife in the blood. He began to feel dizzy and his vision became fuzzy. Just then, the bathroom door flew open revealing Yuuri and Konrad. They saw the worst sight imaginable.
Yuuri and Konrad saw Wolfram sitting there helplessly, body slouched against the wall and head weakly thrown back against the wall, fresh tears pouring from his closed eyes, sitting in a pool of his blood which covered a majority of the floor. Then, Yuuri's eyes filled with tears and Konrad's eyes widened as Wolfram weakly turned his head and opened his eyes revealing dull eyes. They had lost their shine. His eyes were cold and emotionless. This glare, if not any other, Could kill you on the spot, no hesitation. They bore deep into Yuuri and even deeper into Konrad's eyes. Their eyes were still clear.
Noticing that Yuuri was frozen on the spot, Konrad quickly and desperately went for the knife. Unfortunately, Wolfram got to it first and held it up against his neck. "Don't. . . Come any. . . Closer." He whispered sadly in a chocked sob. "Wolfram! Please. . . Don't do it. Please!" Yuuri begged desperately, just recovering from the shock. Wolfram diverted his attention to Yuuri, letting his guard down and giving Konrad the advantage. Konrad ran behind Wolfram and forced the knife from his grip. Yuuri picked up the knife and put it in his pocket. Then he tried to help Konrad hold Wolfram down. However, with Wolfram frantically struggling and both his arms severely wounded, it was hard to hold onto him without hurting him. How was it possible that after all that blood loss and those really bad wounds, Wolfram had so much energy left? But then again, he's not human.
Wolfram broke free of their hold and tried to make a run for it but slipped on his blood and fell. "I can't win against you. You win. . . I give up." Wolfram sighed weakly. Konrad picked Wolfram up off the blood-filled floor and brought him to the bed. "Yuuri, stay here with him while I get Giesela." Konrad left in search for her. When Yuuri turned to look at Wolfram, he saw him biting at his arms. "Wolfram, stop it now! You've hurt yourself enough already. You've made your point clear! This is just too much trouble. If you would just let us explain-" Yuuri was cut off yet again. "If I'm so much trouble, wouldn't it just be easier to let mi kill myself so you won't have to deal with me anymore!? Why is it always ME causing you trouble and getting yelled at? Just let me end my life. It's not important anyway, so quit pretending you care!" Wolfram started crying really hard and began to feel extremely weak before everything went black.
When he woke up a few hours later, he noticed Gunter and his mom sitting in the room along with Yuuri and Konrad who still refused to leave him alone. "Oh, Wolfram! How could you do this too yourself!? Why?! I was so worried about you when Konrad told me." Cheri-sama cried on his shoulder. "Hahaoya, I refuse to listen to anything Yuuri or Konrad has to say to me and you can have them call of the engagement. The only time we'll be talking is when it comes to business and Shin Makoku. Any personal matters will not be spoken of between us." Wolfram said coldly as he glanced over to Yuuri and Konrad. "Got it, Heika, Weller-kyo? You may leave now." He said without hesitation and no emotion in his voice accept when he called Yuuri and Konrad by their formal names. Everyone was surprised at this but respected his wishes nonetheless.
This is the way it should be, right? Nothing but business discussed between the three of them. Things would go back to the way they used to be before Yuuri became Maou. No friendliness between him and the Maou. All that was there was respect and loyalty to the Maou and nothing more. Just like before. He was used to that way of life anyway since it's been like that for years. There shouldn't be any kind of relationship between him and the Maou anyway. Even if he wanted to, it wouldn't work out and he wouldn't take that chance again. After thinking a lot on this, Wolfram began falling asleep. For the first time in a while he had a peaceful well deserved nap.
Later that night, there was a low knock on Wolfram's door. "Come in." He said sleepily. Yuuri walked in quietly. Wolfram rolled over to see who it was. "What is it, Heika?" He said more harshly than intended. Yuuri flinched at this but replied, "Wolfram, please don't call me that. Call me by my name. I need to talk to you." Wolfram gave a sarcastic laugh. "I believe I already told you I won't talk about personal matters and I'll call you what I want!" He yelled without realizing it. "Wolfram. What if it's an order from your king to speak to him no matter the topic!?" Yuuri questioned angrily. "To hell with your orders! What if I said that? I don't care about the consequences. It can't be worse than what I've been through already." They argued back and forth for some time until Yuuri absent-mindedly pinned Wolfram against the wall and kissed him desperately yet passionately. At first Wolfram struggled but soon gave in. There was no way he could resist whether he hated Yuuri or not. After being allowed to kiss him, Yuuri moved his hands around Wolfram's body and deepened the kiss. Wolfram let his guard down and moaned when Yuuri deepened the kiss. This caused him to snap out of it and pull away while attempting to push Yuuri off of him. "Yuuri, stop. Please!" Wolfram said quietly but his voice had emotion in it. Yuuri couldn't believe his own actions and was shocked. He got off the bed and murmured an apology and ran off. If he didn't know any better, he could have sworn he saw a small shine of hope in Wolfram's eyes before he ran away. That night would not be forgotten since Yuuri and Wolfram shared their first kiss. A Bitter Sweet Kiss.
