Of Woos and Chased.
Chapter 3.
Conrad entered his bedroom much later in the evening. It was nearly midnight. He just got back from patrolling the whole castle even thou he didn't have too. The reason was to clear his head and not thinking of the scandal that emerge earlier. But that prove to be impossible.
He walks down to his study table and slum down in defeat. The events during dinner still fresh in his mind.
How could this happen to me? Not only had my guards gone out the window every time Yuuri is nearby but I also get caught in the act with Yuuri!
Conrad groan just thinking of him. Actually he was also blushing bright red when he remembered Yuuri's predatory gaze. The same gaze that got his heart beat wildly and his breathing to hitch. If he was ever truthful to himself, he will admit that he actually like that attention a little too much.
"Oh Shinou, Why can't I stopped thinking of him." Said Conrad to know one in particular.
"Thinking of me already? We're not in dream land yet."
Conrad froze in shocked. He knew to well who that voice belongs too.
Out of the shadow behind his door, out step Yuuri. His body was half conceal in the shadows. His face was smug and eyes twinkling in mischief.
Conrad slowly got up to greeted his King.
"Good evening, Your Majesty"
In a flash, Yuuri was in front of him. His eyes flash with annoyance.
"Must we had this conversation every time Conrad? I told you uppity times to just Call me Yuuri"
Conrad gives out a small smile. "My apologies, Yuuri. It's a habit that is hard to break"
"Well, you just have to break it. Of all people, you irritated me the most when you greeted me so formally"
"I will try my best Yuuri."
Yuuri smile his bashful smile. Then he pushed Conrad slowly by his chest as a gesture to sit down. And then sit himself on a nearby chair.
Conrad turn and face outside while trying to calm his racing heart. Yuuri's hand on his heart send shivers down his spine.
Meanwhile, Yuuri was watching Conrad. The light from the moon give Conrad an ethereal figure that keep Yuuri enchanted.
Great lord. Thought Yuuri. Why this man have to effected me so much. He looked like a mystical creature under the moonlight. Didn't he have any idea what his handsomeness did to me.
"Dinner was very entertaining don't you agree Conrad"
Conrad was brought out of his musing by Yuuri, who was still watching Conrad.
"Entertaining Yuuri?"
"Yes, with the whole castle knows of our secret affairs."
Conrad didn't know how many times he blushed that day. And he is sure he is blushing now since he can feel the heat on his cheeks.
"You didn't answer my question you know" said Yuuri nonchalantly.
"What question was that?"
Yuuri edge himself closer to Conrad. So close in fact that Conrad find himself trapped… again!.
"What were you doing every time you're walking behind me Conrad? Checking me out? Indulging himself in the feel of what is like to have me be yours.
"Your Majesty" said Conrad. Automatically pushing Yuuri away and rise to his feat. "I didn't have time for those Yuuri. I'm just a common soldier. Even with Julia-.. I don't want to discuss this.
As Conrad was on his way to the door, he find himself suddenly thrown to his bed. Yuuri was on top of him before he could even blink. In shock, Conrad own hands had risen to grip around Yuri's wrists. His eyes mirrored fear when he saw determination on Yuuri's face.
"Why are afraid to love Conrad? Is it because of Julia?"
"It has nothing to do with Julia"
"Your a liar. You shield your heart since Julia's death. Heck Conrad, my dad said you were dead when he first met you. Tell me, is it?"
"No"
"Is it?"
"No…"
"IS IT?"
"What do you know Yuuri" Conrad said harshly. His voice thick with emotions. "Julia was everything to me. All cherished her. She understand me. Even thou it is forbidden since she is engaged to another… and when she left… when she left…"
Conrad was not be able to continue. It was painful enough to have to relieve it. But to tell Yuuri the reason he was afraid was even worst.
"Look at me Conrad" ordered Yuuri. When he got Conrad's full attention, he continue. "I know you're afraid if I died and left you like Julia did, about being alone, but Conrad you don't have too. I'm not going anywhere. I won't die because I know you'll be there to protect me. And if you're afraid that I left you for another, don't be. For I have harbored this feelings for you since the moment we met."
Conrad continue to watch Yuuri in silence. His heart feels warm, knowing he have nothing to fear about being alone and that Yuuri will always love him.
Yuuri kisses conrad's forehead. "If you need proof, I can still give it to you." Then he proceed in giving Conrad a soul shattering kiss that left them breathless.
"I have no patience with all the playing of hard to get Conrad. But if you insist, I'll be more then happy to chase you. But in the end, I will have you and you'll be mine."
"And if I don't?" Conrad smirked. He intended to play hard to get from now on. So that Yuuri can proof to him that he really meant his words. He need more then words to be reassured.
Yuuri leered and give Conrad a last kiss before he said "Oh you will. I intent to claim you as mine, and nothing will stop me. Not even a reluctant bride."
With that said, Yuuri left and went back to his room. But not before leaving a single red rose at Conrad's coffee table without breaking eye contact with Conrad.
Conrad continue to stare after Yuuri's retreat. After he got out of his stupor, he pick up the rose that Yuuri left him and smell it. Wondering all this while what have he done to be entangle in such a mess.
