Of Woos and Chased.
Chapter 2.
That evening after dinner, Yuuri return to his room. Dinner as he remembered was an amusing one to say the least. Everyone was there including the object of his affection, Conrad.
Yuuri give out a smile as he remembered what happened during dinner.
Flashback
Yuuri entered the room, while whistling to himself. All the occupants of the room greeted him as he entered. As Yuuri seated himself at the table, he realized that Conrad isn't there yet. So he turn to Murata and ask "Where's Conrad?"
Murata just shrugged and said " Last time I saw him, he was by the pond."
Yuuri sigh. Then he watch everyone who already seated at the table. Gretta is sitting beside him talking to Wolfram about the various type of dances, Gunter ( Yuuri shuddered) is still watching him intently and with longing, Gwendal is as his usual self with frowning and thinking of you know what as Murata was trying to explain Earth's history of war, and Cecilie and Annisina is discussing about Annisina's latest invention which Yuuri has yet to witness.
Yuuri give out a secret smile as he realize something. All the seats are taken except the ones infront of him! That means Conrad will occupy it when he comes.
Speaking of Conrad
The said man just entered the room. He, as gracefully as ever, walk up to the table and take his seat infront of Yuuri.
Yuuri can see that Conrad is a little edgy around him. But that to be expected as Yuuri still intent on chasing after him.
Afterall.. can anyone blame me for wanting this magnificent soldier in front of me.. it is his fault for always said that his heart, body and soul belongs to me. Now I intent on making it come true.
Dinner went smoothly. It was during desert that interesting thing happened.
"By the way, Conrart" said Cecilie "What happen to you this afternoon? You look like you had a few rounds with the Big Cimaron. All panting and flushed"
"What are talking about mother" said Wolfram. "Lord Weller never flushed"
"He did" said Murata. His eyes twinkling madly. "He was busy running away from certain someone who had him cornered and pinned to the wall"
Conrad chocked on his drinks and start coughing violently. The table was silent for a moment, then it explode. Cecilie was busy hugging her second son while demanding to know who the mysterious person is, Wolfram and Gwendal just stare at each other, Murata just lay back in his seat and watch everything with amusement while Yuuri just sit there, staring at Conrad, all the while trying to think of a way to help Conrad and at the same time, challenging him to deny what happened.
"Leave him be people" shouted Yuuri above all the commotion. "Why is it a big fuss with whom he is seeing?"
Murata turn to him and explain. "Conrad maybe a ferocious soldier, but when it comes to love, he avoided it as much as he can" then he added in a whisper. "That is after Julia's death. That is why if he fall in love again, we wanted to know who it is."
Yuuri nodded in understanding. By the way Conrad acted that afternoon, Yuuri thought that maybe he was a virgin or something. But then he thought, if Conrad return his feelings, why afraid to pursue it?. Then it dawn to Yuuri.
Conrad, are you afraid I left you, like Julia did.
Yuuri catches Conrad's eyes in his. From what he can see, Conrad is painfully aware of his feelings, but also very afraid of what was to come.
"As much as I like to joint you." Said Conrad as he got up from the table. "I'm afraid I've to take my leave. I still have things to settle." With that he was gone.
"He still didn't tell us who pinned him" said Wolfram.
"Papa" said Greta.
Yuuri turn and look at his daughter.
"Yes Greta?"
"Was it not you who pinned him to the wall this afternoon when I come to get you?"
Oh crab! I've forgotten about her seeing us. How am I to cover this up? Great! All of them is looking at me…
"Your Majesty" said Gwendal, who deep voice of restrain anger suggest that he answered him with the truth. "What is Greta talking about?"
Yuuri sigh. Guess is about to come out in the open.
"Greta saw right. It was I who cornered and pinned him to the wall"
"You pinned my brother to the wall!" said Gwendal. His eyes were wide at this revelation. "Why on Shin Makoku did you do that?"
"It's not my fault that your brother have the charms with that lean body and posture of his, and his soft brown eyes and smile that melt hearts and a perfect round ass that's begging to be grope at-"
"Yuuri!" shouted Wolfram. Hands covering his ears as he jumped further away from him. " I do not need to hear your perverted description of my brother!"
"Your Majesty. If that is you view of my second son, tell me. What crosses your mind or how do you feel everytime you see him?" asked Cecilie as she lean closer to hear her kings word, so is Gwendal, Murata and Gunter.
"You really wanted to know?"
"Yes Your Majesty"
"Everytime I see him.." Yuuri said softly so only they can hear and not Wolfram and Greta. And his eyes were twinkling and clouded with anticipation and wanting. "…I admire his movements, how he walks, how he smile and all. The feeling I get was of course of tight chess which happen to be distracting. If Conrad didn't stop doing some certain things and reserved them especially for me, I'm afraid his going to taken sooner then he thinks."
All who heard Yuuri was floored at what he said. Never would they thought that they see this side of Yuuri. Yuuri get up and about to leave when Gwendal stopped him.
"If you dare broke his heart Your Majesty. I will make sure you suffer for the rest of your life" said Gwendal seriously. Behind him Wolfram nodded in agreement.
Yuuri stare at Gwendal for a moment, then he smile.
"Don't worry Gwendal. I will never do that. Now if you excuse me, I have a brother of yours to chased and woo."
With that Yuuri left the room. Never bothering to close the door behind him.
"Well" said Murata. A minutes after Yuuri left. "This will be entertaining to watch Yuuri chased down Conrad and wooing him too."
"Yes" said Gwendal. "Not to mention, is about time too."
What they didn't know that Yuuri was behind the door the entire time, hearing all of it.
End Flashback
Predictable. I wonder how long they know what Conrad did to me and our feelings for each other.
Yuuri turn from watching the window and went out of his room and head to Conrad's room. Time to finish their afternoon conversation.
