Of Woos and Chased.
Chapter 6.
A week later…
Conrad open his eyes as the rays of the morning sun touch his eyes. He lay there, facing his ceiling and think of all the things he need to do on that day. But he got distracted with the very strong smell of Yuuri's roses.
Yuuri.
He was right regarding Yozak. A week ago, Yozak saw the love bite Yuuri gave him. Actually, that redhead had saw the whole thing about what they were doing by the lake. And had gone and shouted it out to the world. By evening the next day, the whole castle knows what happen. Everywhere he goes, all the maids chatter excitingly. The less shy ones even wanted to see the mark!
His mother was very enthusiastic about the whole thing and wanted to know every detail. Conrad just glared at Yuuri when Yozak was happily telling everyone what he saw during dinner. But the King just sits there, smiling his sultry smile and eyes which is twinkling mischievously overtime, and listen to all of it with pure delight and amusement. He even added up a few details that Yozak has forgotten, which cause Conrad to leave the room early because he was blushing like mad.
Conrad turn his head a little to admire Yuuri's blooming flowers that he put in a vase on his bedside table. He like the blood red flowers, the position of the vase, the petals of the flowers all around the table…..
Petals?!?
Conrad immediately sit up on his bed. His eyes went wide with what he is seeing.
Petals.
Rose petals. There everywhere. On his bedside tables, all around the floor of his bedrooms, even on his bed. Everything was covered with rose petals.
As he looked around his room, he saw that there's a letter for him on the pillow beside him. With a single rose attached.
He knew who send the letter along with the surprise, but that didn't stop him from having a warm feeling spreading through his heart. So he just opened the letter (with utmost care) and read the content.
My Dearest Conrad,
Good morning… I hope you like your surprise. I had a hard time doing it without waking you up. Anyway Happy Birthday beloved. This décor is just the first present. The second will be reveal later tonight. I hope you have an enjoyable day today. This means no doing any of your usual jobs at all. I will see you tonight at dinner for your birthday celebration.
With Love,
Yuuri.
Conrad just let out a soft smile. Part of him was enthusiastic about his second surprise from Yuuri. But he knew no matter how he beg, Yuuri won't give in till the time comes.
So after he kept the letter inside his desk, he freshen himself up and went riding for the whole day. Occasionally stopping by to give a helping hand to anyone needed. But most of the time, he played baseball with the younger children.

At the castle, while Conrad was riding….
"Are you sure you want to do this, Shibuya?"
"Yep.. this would be my gift for him."
"Don't you think this is a little too dramatic?"
"Just because I have a wild side, doesn't mean I can't be sentimental. I'm sure he'll love it. It's one of my ways of proving to him my love and affections."
"I get it Shibuya. But how are going to get this thing in motion? We don't have the exact equipment to operate it."
"Murata I thought you are the wise man of double black?"
"Well I am…."
"Then you should know that there are alternative ways to get my birthday surprise in motion, or have you suddenly become so simple minded.. Now hurry up and get the decorations done! I want it to be perfect for the celebration."

Conrad's birthday celebration was grand affair. Everyone in Shin Makoku attended to celebrate Conrads birthday. Childrens enjoying themselves with the delicious foods and cakes the castle provided.
Yuuri knows that Conrad is like by many. But he didn't think that this many to turn up!! Luckily he set this party till midnight. So that the families can celebrate privately later.
Conrad, with all his politeness, entertains his guess at his very best. He didn't wear his normal uniform that night. Instead, he is wearing a uniform similar to his older brother (the one without the long coat) except his was in royal but rich red with gold trimming. Yuuri insist he wear white gloves, said it makes him look good and dashing.
(AN I don't know any other colours that would match Conrad. Brown is too common, green & blue is out since it's gwendals & wolframs colours)
Throughout the celebration, Conrad keep giving discreet glance to Yuuri while the latter was chatting with all his subordinate.
Yuuri whine Conrad desperately. In silence. when are we going to get sometime alone? I'm anxious about your surprise you have for me.
Yuuri turn to look at him and smile his best smile at him. Making Conrad difficult to breath. Yuuri excuses himself from his friends and walk straight towards him.
Conrad watch all this in slow motion. His heart is beating frantically and whildly. who can blame him. Yuuri simply look drop dead gorgeous in his new royal uniform. Whoever design those outfit really knows how to make people drool because it clings to all the right places. Hell... he is sure he himself look starving.
As usual, Conrad alway misses the look on the Kings face when he is checking Conrad out. Yuuri look more then starving, he look like he's going to take Conrad right then and there. Lucky it is Conrad's celebration or else he did just that.
"If you want to make me lusting over you, you have certainly succeeded." Said Yuuri the moment he reached Conrad, and eyeing him up and down with fervour. "I can hardly get my eyes off you. Are you enjoying yourself. Is the celebration not up to your expectation?"
Conrad let out a laugh. "This celebration is more then I expected. And I enjoyed it immensely, Your Majesty."
"Conrad don't get me started. I told you, it's Yuuri!. Why bother naming me if you prefer to call me 'Your Majesty' my whole life." God! He's so obstinated.
"I'm sorry, Yuuri. But you know I must called you that for formal reason's." What is he doing to me?!
Yuuri just lift his hand in the air and said "I give up."
Then Yuuri let himself closer to Conrad so he can whisper in his ears.
"I notice that you seem edgy." Whispered Yuuri. His eyes seductive and his grin is mischievous. "Don't worry your handsome little head. Your surprise will be revealed before the night is over." Yuuri wink at Conrad.
Conrad can feel his face heated up. He didn't think Yuuri can read him very well. He really needed to get a grip of himself or else risked the guess saw how he is swooning over the King. What he didn't know that the whole world already know the chemistry between the King and his personal protector, and are waiting for the outcome with bated breath.
