Juz wanna tell y'all that if you came straight to this chapter,
you won't understand the story since I continued the first chapter; I
made it longer. Thanks!
YEY! I'm now on chapter 2! Sorry if this is only short. I did this in a hurry coz our exams are on October 16, 17 & 18 and I haven't studied yet! Heheh. My mom has been annoying me for about a week now to study and tries desperately to keep me away from my computer and my beloved television. She's too worried for my grades since I got a line of 7 last quarter. She keeps reminding me that I am the only one in the family who got a line of 7 (well maybe except my grandfather coz he's been kinda like the 'rebel' at his school). And because of this, she worries about college! Mom wants me to take ULTRASONOGRAPHY or RADIOLOGY (whatever that is!).
Okay so on with the story! Hope ya like it!
It is in this chapter that the identity of the guy Wolfram met will be revealed
And
I forgot… for those of you who are wondering: YUP! I'm a
Filipino. Specifically from Negros.
Chapter 2
The next day, Wolfram was awakened by a sound of an instrument playing softly. When he sat up and rubbed the sleep left from his eyes, he become conscious that he wasn't in his and Yuuri's room anymore. He looked around, and saw another person who was a bit farther away from him. He was the one making the beautiful melody on his piano. The stranger noticed that his tunes woke up his guest he stopped playing and stood up from his seat.
"Oh please don't stop, I was enjoying your beautiful music." Said Wolfram while approaching the lad.
Unable to resist the request of his guest, the young boy sat back down and continued playing as Wolfram listened while sitting in one of the seats in the room. Wolfram can't understand his feelings at that moment. He was withdrawn to the song. It was a sad and lonely melody and that was what he was feeling… sad and lonely. After the piece was finished, he was aware again that he was in an unfamiliar place and decided to ask the stranger.
"Uhm.. Where exactly am I?"
The stranger, with hazel locks, closed the lid and looked straight at Wolfram and immediately Wolfram noticed his deep amethyst orbs. "Isn't it obvious? You're in my quarters. I didn't know where your room was so I brought you here instead."
"Is that so?" ' I must've cried myself to sleep last night. So that was why my eyes are puffy.'
The young lad just gazed at Wolfram and he was beginning to feel uncomfortable with this. Silenced filled the atmosphere that time and in order to break the ice Wolfram started a conversation.
"So, what's your name?"
"It's Lysander von Alstair. And you?"
"Wolfram von Bielelfeild. Nice to meet you." He then gave his new friend a smile. Lysander's reaction was a blush.
"Nice to meet you too."He smiled back, still blushing. 'God he's so beautiful.'
"Well I better get going then. Thanks for taking care of me." Wolfram stood and was about to go to the door until a hand stopped him midway. It was Lysander who was keeping him from getting out.
Keeping a serious look Lysander asked, "can I see you again?"
"Eh?"
"How about tonight, at the garden, is that okay with you?"
"Uh… okay I guess." He turned his back and again he was stopped midway.
"What?"
"You can't go out with just your inside clothes on. Your coat, pants, and sword are on the dresser." Still keeping his serious look.
"Oh Yeah! Hehe. Sorry about that." He quickly took his dresser and put on his clothing and ran. While trying to escape from the embarrassment he experienced, he heard Lysander shout, "don't forget! Tonight at the garden!"

Wolfram stopped in front of the room that he and Yuuri shared. 'Ugh! I am so stupid, almost going out with just nothing but inside clothes! How embarrassing.' He entered the room and found no one there. 'Where could that wimp be? Did he even notice that I wasn't beside him last night? Ugh! What am I thinking… of course he wouldn't mind me not being around. Maybe he just went out to have breakfast, that's all.' Just then the door opened with Yuuri and Conrad coming in. At first they didn't notice Wolfram who was inside the room and continued their dispute.
"Heika please, just rest for awhile. My men will handle this. You haven't had any sleep since last night." Said Conrad somewhat begging.
"Do you think I can rest when Wolfram is gone missing! They've been looking for him since last night and still they didn't get any information on where- Wolfram?" Finally, he noticed Wolfram at the bedside standing. " You're back! Where have you been? I was so worried" Yuuri approached Wolfram and hugged him tightly. "It doesn't matter anymore Yuuri. I think Conrad is right; you need to get some sleep. You look a bit tired." Wolfram led Yuuri to the bed and he allowed Yuuri to sleep on his lap instead of the pillows. Conrad just excused himself afterwards. "I didn't get any sleep because I was looking for you. You suddenly disappeared. I've waited all night and I-" And then he was fast asleep. 'Wimp! He fell asleep without even finishing his sentence. How pathetic.' Thought Wolfram while caressing Yuuri's hair.

It was already almost noon when Yuuri woke up and Wolfram wasn't by his side anymore. He immediately scrambled off the bed to find his fiancé. He looked everywhere, asking every servant passing by but still, no one has seen Wolfram. His attention was taken by the sound of a swordfight just ahead. He went over and there he saw Conrad training Wolfram. Relief came over him for he now fears losing Wolfram. Then, flashbacks of what happened at the party last night came back to his memories. 'I do hope that he isn't angry with me. I really didn't mean to say those words to him.'
At the attacks of Wolfram, Conrad defended himself and saw Yuuri, watching. "Heika! Good morning. Did you have enough sleep?"
"Yup! Even if I just slept for a couple of hours. And Conrad, I told you not to call me Heika. Anyways I'm off to the baths. See ya!"
"By the way Yuuri, we are to spend our dinner tonight with the king and his children. He wasn't able to introduce them all last night and he wanted you to get to know them."
Yuuri looked at Wolfram's direction after hearing Conrad's announcement. He was expecting the boy to attack him that instant but instead he just watched them. 'Odd. I'm pretty sure he would've called me a cheater by now.' "Okay Conrad I'll be there." Then he left.

It was as though the day seemed to have passed for a short period of time and before they knew it, it was already nighttime. Wolfram got ready and wore his most civilized clothing for the king's prepared dinner for them. He and Yuuri entered at the same time in the dining room and to his surprise, Lysander was sitting at the right side of the king. He gave Lysander bewildered looks as he sat down beside Yuuri who was sitting at the left side of the king. It shocked him more when the king finally talked, "Heika, this is the son you haven't met last night. My eldest and soon-to-be king, Lysander." 'What! He's a prince?.' Wolfram thought, almost choking.
"Wolf, you okay?" Yuuri asked, offering his glass to his fiancé. He didn't get why the mention of this guy being the son of the king made wolfram react so much.
Wolfram sipped the glass offered to him and continued to eat. During dinner, he would glance at Lysander every once in a while as if making sure if it was all real, 'this guy is really the king's son? Why didn't he tell me before?' At one of Wolfram's glance, Lysander just so happened to be looking at Wolfram, and then Lysander smiled. He froze in Lysander's glance and after a few seconds, he looked down on his plate and pretended to be playing with his food.
After dinner, Wolfram was about to go to their room until Lysander whispered in his ear "I'll be waiting…" as he passed by. He then remembered that he was supposed to meet up with him tonight. But before he could do so, he must inform Yuuri first or else the wimp may worry again. "Yuuri? Can you go ahead first? I have to go somewhere."
Yuuri looked back, "huh? Uh okay. Just don't stay up late okay?". "Don't worry. I'll be back. See ya." They then parted.
Yuuri went to their room while Wolfram went to the garden where Lysander sat by the grass, waiting while looking up to the skies. He noticed the footsteps of Wolfram from behind and stood up to greet him but Wolfram signaled him to sit back down and he did with Wolfram beside him and both watched the stars above.
"Why did you want to meet me again?" Wolfram asked.
Lysander, who was still looking up answered, "dunno. I just wanna meet you again. When you were about to leave, I felt lonely. I was about to ask you to stay but I guess I was a bit shy."
Wolfram giggled. "What! What's wrong with what I said?" Lysander asked, confused.
"It's just that you don't have a reason to be shy. I should be the one embarrassed since you saw me in my inside clothes. By the way, did your maids have trouble undressing me? Because I know I tend to always squirm when I'm asleep and sometimes I hit the ones who are near me."
"Actually I was the one who undressed you since I already let the maid leave after bringing in the mattress for me to sleep on."
"WHAT?" he blushed.
"And you weren't really that squirmy. Although you quite moved a lot I resolved to embrace you the whole night for you to calm down."
"EH?" Wolfram's blush grew deeper. Lysander looked down at him with such sincere eyes, "You know, after being with you, you became my inspiration and because of you, I was able to compose again."
"You mean with your piano?" asked Wolfram, still blushing.
"Yup. And this time I made lyrics. Would you like to hear it?"
"I guess that's okay."
"Great then let's go. I'll play it for you in my room." He took Wolfram's wrist and brought him to his room. Wolfram sat by the bed as Lysander played on his piano. Wolfram listened intently as he sang with his melody.
I kneel beside you here today
I kneel beside
you and I pray
That it's you, its only you
Who will share my
tomorrows and yesterdays
I searched a lifetime and found you
A
bridge to forever I share with you
Open your heart and let me
in
As I give you this promise of love
I heard an angel say
your name
Now I know my world's not the same
A little heaven is
what you are
As we dream a thousand dreams not so far
And
may the blessings of our Lord above
His light will guide us with a
love
For you and me forevermore
As I give you this promise of
love
Now that I have you for my own
As God is our witness
never let me go
Feel the love grow as we become one
One hand,
one heart
We are one soul
I stand before you just a man
I
need your help to understand
What is life without you
As I
promise you this day and forever
This promise of love
This
promise of love
This promise of love...
After the song, Wolfram sat still in his seat and somewhat speechless. "Is this a confession? It couldn't be since we just met.'
Seeing Wolfram unable to move, Lysander became concerned if he didn't like the song. Just when he was in front of him did Wolfram realized that he has been unable to give a response to Lysander of what he thinks about his piece.
He looked up and gave him a smile, "It was good, really good… but-"
Wolfram was unable to finish since he was startled by Lysander's sudden embrace.
He whispered to his ear, "That was a profession of what I really feel for you."
When Lysander pulled away from his embrace, Wolfram then spoke, "I have to go now, it's getting late." Lysander escorted him to the door and before they parted, he gave Wolfram a chaste kiss at the cheeks.
"I will wait even if it takes an eternity for you to love me. If the time come that you do, tell me okay?" Lysander said at the doorway. Wolfram was still flabbergasted by this and just responded with an, "uh." He then went back to the room he and Yuuri shared.
Do any of you watch the movie TROY? It was in that movie that I actually got the name LYSANDER. Achilles was calling for this boy. Although he only appeared once in the movie, he somehow became one of my fave characters there ) . And I got the name Alstair from a cousin of mine. It was actually his name that I used.
