The blond prince sat on a hill overlooking the beautiful grassy terrains. The fields are brilliantly covered with a wide variety of flowers. Blues, whites, greens, reds, yellows, all scattered throughout the fields like a magnificent painting. Distant birds could be heard singing their love for each other. The sky was endlessly blue. The gentle breeze fluttered the blond stands around his face. The blond was content to just sit there listening to the tranquil sounds around him. There was no worry, no pain, no sadness, and no tears where the blond is. He couldn't help feel that is his missing something. But that soon faded from his heart. The blond sat quietly looking and waiting.
"This is not doing him any good. He refused to eat. Not matter what we try, Heika will not snap out of it."
"It's time for Shibuya and I to go back to Earth for a little while. Being here and seeing Wolfram like this only makes things worst for him."
"How long will you be gone?"
"As long as it takes."
"Shibuya, wake up."
"What is it, did something happen to Wolfram."
"Calm down, Shibuya. Everything is fine. We are paying Earth a visit."
"No, I will not go."
"Don't make this difficult, you can go willingly or I will use force."
"I said no Murata."
"Very well, Gwendal."
Gwendal threw the poor king over his shoulder and carried him to the fountain. Murata stepped into the fountain, using Julia's pendant, he conjured up the portal. Once the water started to swirl, Gwendal quickly tossed the struggling king into the water. Yuuri tried with all his might to escape the whirlpool that was engulfing him, but was still trapped and whisk away back to Earth.
The two boys arrived to gleeful screams of Jennifer with Shori standing behind her.
"Why didn't you tell us you where coming back. Oh, Yu-chan I miss you so much. Come Mama made curry. Oh, but first you two need to get cleaned up. Mama will make sure everything is perfect. Yu-chan what's wrong?"
Yuuri took a step towards his mom and wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. Yuuri's body tremble uncontrollably as sobs escaped his body.
"Yu-chan, what's wrong. What happen, tell Mama. Mama will go and teach them all a lesson. Yu-chan, don't cry, Mama is right here."
Jennifer held her weeping son like she did when he was a child, stroking his back and whispering comforting words to him. Jennifer was worried for her baby. She has never seen her youngest child break down like this. She just held on tighter to poor boy. Before Jennifer knew it, Yuuri's body slacked in her arms. Shori immediately rushed over to steady the both of them. Yuuri had cried himself to sleep. Shori carried his brother to his room. He changed the unconscious boy out of his wet clothes and pulled the blanket over him. Shori looked at his brother and wonder what happened to him. Meanwhile Murata changed into some dried clothes Jennifer had offered. After tending to Yuuri, Shori joined the two in the kitchen.
"Friend of my brother, what happen to Yuuri?"
"Even after all this time you still can't acknowledge me properly. Geez Shori."
"Tell me what happen to Yuuri."
Murata told Jennifer and Shori what had gone on in Shin Makoku the last couple of weeks. He told them about Adelinda, the engagement being dissolved, Alger Klaus, and Wolfram's injury, all of it. Jennifer and Shori listen without batting an eyelash.
"I brought Yuuri back against his will. It wasn't doing him any good to see Wolfram in the state that he is in. Yuuri will need your support and understanding more now than before. Gisela does not know if Wolfram will ever wake up again. Yuuri is very emotionally unstable right now. You probably noticed with his breakdown earlier. I was hoping that bringing him back here will calm him down. Hopefully being away from the place that brought him so much pain will allow him to heal. Now with that said, try to act as normal as possible around him."
"Does Yuuri love Wolfram that much?"
"You saw it didn't you Shori, the state that he is in. If Wolfram never wakes up, we will never see the Yuuri that we know ever again."
Jennifer sat by her baby boy's bedside looking on in concern. In his sleep, Yuuri's face contorted in pain, sometimes-even moan in pain. Jennifer could only stroke Yuuri's hand to soothe him back to sleep. Seeing her son like this broke her heart.
"Mother, you need your rest, I will look after Yuuri."
Jennifer got up and embraced her eldest son. Shori wrapped his arms around his mother trying to comfort her. He understood what she was going through. No one wants to see a love one in pain.
"Shu-chan, when Yu-chan wakes up, call me."
Shori took the seat that his mother relinquished. Yuuri was not sleeping peacefully. Tossing and turning and moaning. Shori sat there quietly unsure how he could help his little brother.
It would have been better if you never fell in love with him.
The next morning, Yuuri opened his eyes and realized he was back on earth. Yuuri panicked. He wanted to be by Wolfram's side. The boy became desperate, screaming and yelling for Murata to bring him back to Shin Makoku. Shori and Jennifer rushed into the room. Jennifer flung herself at the hysterically boy.
"Shu-chan, it's alright. Mama's here, it's alright."
"No, it's not. Wolfram hasn't woken up. He still hurt. Why won't he wake up? I was the one that let him get hurt. It's entirely my fault. What am I going to do? Please tell me what I need to do to have him wake up. Tell me."
Yuuri was again sobbing. Shori has never seen his little brother look so distraught over anything like this in his life. He hardly recognized the boy in front of him as his little brother anymore. The confident and cheerful boy has lost himself, all of this due to a broken heart. Yuuri eyes where puffy and sunken in. Yuuri's clothes hung loosely on him. Shori realized the boy had not been eaten properly; no doubt from worrying about the blond. Again Shori was not happy seeing the change. Shori wanted to go to Shin Makoku and slap the sleeping blond silly until he woke up.
"Yu-chan, you must be hungry. Let me bring you something to eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"Don't be silly, Yu-chan, Mama will bring you some leftover curry."
"Shori, you have to power to return me to Shin Makoku right?"
"It's out of the question."
"Shori, please."
"No."
The next several days were the same for Yuuri. He pleaded with Murata and Shori to bring him back to Shin Makoku, both refused. It seems the plan to bring Yuuri back to Earth did more harm than good. Yuuri was lethargic. When he wasn't sleeping he would be crying. All he wanted to do was see Wolfram. He again pleaded to be sent back. Murata finally decided, it was best for Yuuri to go back to Shin Makoku. Ever since coming back to Earth, Yuuri has been plague with nightmares. At least back in Shin Makoku Yuuri would sleep through the night. Shori was against it but Jennifer agreed with Murata. Hopefully seeing Wolfram will ease Yuuri's heartache.
Once arriving back to Shin Makoku, Yuuri headed straight to Wolfram's side ignoring all of Gunter's protest about changing into drier clothing. It has been over three weeks; the blond still would not awake. Yuuri almost smile seeing his angel again. Without knowing, a tear slide from Yuuri's check onto Wolfram's face.
What was that just now? It felt like a raindrop. How can that be? There's not a cloud in the sky. I must be imagining things. Wolfram continued to sit and wait.
"Heika there's a kingdom waiting for you. You can't just sit here waiting for an insurmountable time. You should return to your duties."
"Not until he wakes up Gunter."
"What if he never wakes up?"
"He will."
"Wolf, you must be still mad at me. Is this your way of getting back at me? Don't you think this is enough? Stop playing Wolfram. Wake up and let me see your emeralds eyes again. I miss you so much. Don't you think you rested enough? No one needs that much sleep. Come on, wake up, I beg you."
Who's there? Is someone there? There I go again imagining things.
It has been a whole day since Yuuri's return. He has not left Wolfram's bedside. Conrad went to check on the two boys. He saw Yuuri curled next to Wolfram sleeping soundly. Conrad walked up to the slumbering boys and gently touched their forehead in a loving manner. He knelt down next to Wolfram.
"Wolfram, don't be so stubborn. It's time for you to wake up. We are losing him. Do you really want that? This punishment you dealt him is too severe. It's time to wake up. We all miss you. He's waiting for you to return to us. Wolfram come back and be by Yuuri's side again."
Yuuri, who's Yuuri?
"Have you forgotten him already?"
"Who are you? Why have you come and disturbed my peace?"
"Who would have thought that Wolfram von Bielefield is a coward? Hiding in a place like this, refusing to face his fears head on. How long do you intend to stay here?"
"I am not a coward. This is where I belong. There is nothing out there for me."
"Really, so the name Yuuri Shibuya means nothing to you."
"No."
"Even if I tell you his life is slowly slipping away. Because of you he refuses to eat, refuses to tend to the kingdom, and definitely refuses to leave your side. Where is the fiery prince that swore to protect his king? Instead of protecting him, you will be the cause of his death if you refuse to leave this place. You can feel them calling you. Cheri cries herself to sleep worrying about you. Conrad refuses to give up on you. Gwendal has stopped knitting because of you. Gunter is at a lost. Gisela is looking over any and all books to see if it will help you. Poor Greta, haven't been smiling since your slumber. Yet the blond prince says there is nothing out there for him. Don't make me laugh."
"How do you know all of this?"
"It doesn't matter. You need to wake up. You need to leave this place. You have people waiting for you."
Wolfram looked around to see the man with the blond hair fade away. The grassy fields with the magnificent flowers faded as well. All that was left is one single road in front of him.
"Yuuri, everyone I am coming back."
