Oneshot for the Holidays
By Loveless1617
Author's Note: Happy (late)Thanksgiving, everyone!
I'm sorry about updating it so late into the day, especially since its a day overdue; but it was all because of a really bad Black Friday experience-
To make a long story short, I ended up coming back home tired (had no sleep in preparation in order to write this chapter, but wasn't able to finish in time to edit anyways so I did it all for nothing), hungry (because we ate breakfast at like 6, while we left at like 2...), and sore (I'm hurting everywhere from walking around for the whole day!)
I basically just spent over $200 on random #$%^ I'll never wear...
I AM PISSED
But yeah, not to ruin the mood completely:
On thanksgiving, there was a lot of turkey, pumpkin cheesecake, family, and... singing... :)
Happy Thanksgiving, again!
Chapter 12: Thanksgiving
'insecurities'
"Mmm…" Wolfram moaned, as the sound of rustling sheets and a cool draft from an opened window woke him up. He rolled his head to one side and buried himself in his pillow and blanket, while shivering in the cold. He laid in a curled position to try and hold himself still until he could fall asleep again.
And then, he heard it again-
That same rustling of the sheets that woke him up in the first place.
His eyelids fluttered open slowly until he clearly saw his sleeping lover lying on top of him. "~~~Hnn?" He moaned, still half asleep, as Yuuri caressed his bare legs up into his inner thigh.
"Wolfram~" He muttered in sleep, with a pleasant sigh. Yuuri rolled over to his side and held him in his arms. "You're so dirty~ " He muttered, with a smug grin.
...W-W-W-What is this idiot dreaming about?
Wolfram quickly blushed beet red.
"Wake up, you idiot!" Wolfram screamed and pushed him as far away from him as possible, before he started to hit him with a nearby pillow. "You're such a pervert!" He screamed in exasperation.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Yuuri scowled at the unpleasant way he had been woken by, but ignored it nevertheless.
Yuuri opened his eyes with a smile, then attacked him onto the bed.
"Wolfram~!" He shouted happily, like a love-sick dog, as he landed on top of him. Yuuri quickly gave him a peck on the cheek before getting cruelly beat up again by the pillows.
"You—!" Wolfram shouted, with a menacing gaze. "Don't do this first thing in the morning! Don't you have any morals?" He screamed in a fit of anger.
"Eh~~~?" Yuuri whined. "What, what, what?" he jumped on top of him again and held him down.
"Stop~" Wolfram pushed him away, but Yuuri didn't budge. "Get off of me!" He finally screamed.
"What's wrong, Wolfram? You were in such a bad mood these past few days. Did I do something wrong?" Yuuri asked, still not letting go of him.
"Shut up, you stupid cheater!" Wolfram snapped, as he finally got away from Yuuri's hold. He got up and straightened up his nightgown, and then turned to Yuuri with a menacing glare. "Don't even think I'll let you get away with flirting today at the dinner! If you do, I'll-"
"Come on, Wolfram~ How could I leave someone as adorable as you behind for someone else?" Yuuri asked with amusement, as he pulled Wolfram back into the bed. He leaned in and, as seductively as he could, tried to lure him in with an intense, yet passionate kiss to his lips.
"Nn!" With a bit of protest, Wolfram tried to push him away until he realized that he wasn't strong enough to just push him away with the way Yuuri was holding him. But even as he tried punch him, Wolfram couldn't help but fall into his trap. "Ah~"
"Mmm~" Using his tongue, Yuuri opened up his mouth just enough to slip it inside and lick his insides. At first, it tickled; then Wolfram felt it quickly become another one of his alluring techniques that made him weak in the knees-
The type of feeling that, as Yuuri kept working on his mouth, he would unconsciously become enticed by the taste of his lips and the heat of his tongue.
Yuuri didn't hesitate to slide a hand under his nightgown either.
Even though they were already so turned on by the heat their mouths created at each other's touch, he felt it was necessary to keep Wolfram so captivated by his acts of seduction.
It would all just quickly become another one of his ways to distract him from the real issue...
"...!"
Wolfram quickly pushed Yuuri away and glared at him with piercing eyes for trying to get him off-topic.
"Why are you so...?" Wolfram couldn't even finish his sentence without feeling irritated again by Yuuri's actions.
"What?" Yuuri asked, licking his lips in amusement. "You liked it too, didn't you?"
"Stop acting so perverted!" Wolfram screamed. He sat down on the bed, but as far away from Yuuri as possible. "And stop flirting with all the girls at these events every time!" Wolfram shouted, unable to resist from hitting him again with their pillow.
"Ow, Wolfram~" Yuuri cried, quickly trying to dodge his careless attacks. Yuuri quickly grabbed both his hands to stop him. "When did I ever flirt?" Yuuri asked, in all seriousness.
"You! You don't even know?" He yelled, trying desperately to get another hit out of him. "You always flirt around with girls during parties and formal events! And even though they flock you like some sort of weird insect, you don't do anything about it!"
Yuuri started to scratch his head.
"Well, it's not like I can really do anything about it..." Yuuri muttered, though he could feel his lover glaring daggers into his body.
"If I catch you going off with some girl..." Wolfram growled, while slowly and carefully emphasizing each syllable. "I'll make sure you can never get up again," He threatened him without the actual intention of ever hurting him, but the way he said it was enough to scare him.
"O-Of course not, Wolfram~ I'm not going to do anything like that. Okay?" He asked, trying to calm his lover down. "Ne? Ne?"
And with his usual goofy grin, he tried to laugh off the uncomfortable situation he was in.
Wolfram just sighed and got out of bed.
"Hurry up and get ready; we've been sleeping in until late everyday now. People are bound to get angry if we don't get our jobs done early."
Wolfram combed his fingers through his hair and tossed it back a few times to straighten it out.
"Ne, Wolfram, come back to bed~" Yuuri pleaded, with one last attempt to lure him back in. "Come on, it's Thanksgiving, right? And it's only..." He took a look at the time. "It's only five," He tried to convince him, but he knew that 5PM is too late of a time to wake up by.
Honestly, do we really stay up so late every night?
Yuuri looked at him with his puppy-dog eyes, only to be completely rejected.
"Let's go, Yuuri!" Wolfram yelled, after washing up and getting his clothes on.
"I'm heading out first, then!" Wolfram called, as he headed out the door.
"What? Wait up, Wolfram!" Yuuri yelled, even though the door shut closed. "Geez, he won't even give me a single kiss..."
Even though he complained, he quickly got out of bed and washed up as fast as he could...
~V~V~V~
As some of their guests slowly started to arrive for the Thanksgiving dinner, Wolfram headed out to greet them before attending to his other work. After a few of the carriages arrived, Wolfram was about to leave when all of sudden and out of nowhere-
"Wolfram!" He heard someone call out his name and turned around-
And just as he turned around, a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old, ran towards him, preparing to tackle him to the ground.
"E-Eh? What are you-?"
"Wolfram!" The boy pulled him roughly into his arms. "Wolfram, Wolfram, Wolfram!" He excitedly yelled, while whirling him around in circles.
"What are you doing—?"
"I missed you so much, Wolfram!" The boy finally let go and looked him in the eyes with a loving, innocent look. "Don't you remember me?"
"W-What…?" He took a step back and realized…
"Lord Leon's son?" He asked, but the boy pouted. [Reference: chapter 6]
"It's Alex," He corrected, though he didn't seem to mind too much. "My dad is over there." He said, pointing towards Lord Leon and his carriage in front of the palace gate.
"W-Wait, Alex?" He exclaimed. "You were just a kid when I last saw you, so how-?"
"I'm not a demon." Alex answered simply. He looked as if he had to explain it for the millionth time when he answered, "Well, not completely: My dad is a full-blood demon, but my mother…" According to him, his mother was an elf and they aged much faster than even humans.
"Oh…" Wolfram couldn't find anything else to say.
"But that's not the point," Alex started, as he pulled Wolfram into his arms. "Do you remember the last thing you said to me?" He whispered into his ear.
"The last thing?" Wolfram tried to think back to their last conversation, but considering how much time has passed...
"That you were going to marry me?" Alex asked, a bit upset at the fact that his most precious memory was forgotten by the most important person he was with. "Don't you remember?"
"M-Marry?" Wolfram was started. "When…?"
And then it hit him.
"Do you remember now?" Alex asked.
"But that was just a joke, Alex. I didn't mean it—" Alex looked at him as if he was about to cry.
"So it was all a lie?" Alex took a step back. "Everything... it was all a lie?"
'U-Um…"
Why did I even say that I'll marry him when he gets older?
"I mean, first of all, I only said I'd considered it, and I'm still engaged…" Wolfram tried to explain, but he hated how he couldn't explain it to him any better.
"But you're still not married, right?" Alex asked.
Even though it was true, he couldn't exactly ignore the development of their relationship either. After all, they progressed so much, haven't they?
"Well yes, we're still not married, and he hasn't mentioned anything about a wedding either, but it's not like he doesn't—"
"He hasn't even mentioned anything?" Alex exclaimed in shock. "Even though you've been together for so long?"
Wolfram flinched at the remark, but he didn't want to make it seem as if Yuuri didn't care.
"I-It's not like we haven't talked, but..."
But really…
When has Yuuri ever said anything about our engagement?
"Then, he's having second thoughts?" Alex asked.
"W-What?"
"Well, I mean, if he hasn't even asked you yet, it must mean he's still unsure about getting involved in a serious relationship, right?"
"…" Wolfram couldn't exactly retort to his reasoning, but to say that Yuuri didn't want to get involved with him seriously…
It never even crossed his mind that Yuuri didn't want to be in this relationship: He was obviously not against a serious relationship, but could Alex be speaking some truth? After all, if he had any intention of taking their relationship another step further, wouldn't he have at least talked to him about it by now? Just how long was it that he had to wait for a serious talk about their engagement?
"O-Of course it's not like that..." Wolfram muttered, with an obvious hesitance to answer. "We're just—"
"Wolfram!" Yuuri screamed from the castle gates.
Wolfram jumped back in surprise; he hadn't even noticed him coming outside.
"W-What?" Wolfram yelled back, as he watched him walk over.
"We have to supervise the preparations for the dinner~" He said, and then noticed the young man standing beside him. "Oh, you are...?"
"I am Alex Leon, your majesty," Alex bowed in his presence until Yuuri insisted that he lose the formality.
"You can just call me Yuuri," he grinned, in such a way that annoyed Wolfram.
"Yuuri," he muttered in a low growl, while eying daggers into his eyes. "What did I say this morning?"
"W-What!" Yuuri wailed, defensively. "Do you want me to talk to absolutely no one at the dinner?"
Wolfram took a step away from him and turned away, obviously still annoyed.
"Well, then, Yuuri~" Alex answered, with a stiff smile.
"Ah! If you're Alex Leon...you wouldn't happen to be Lord Leon's son, would you?" Yuuri asked, as he tried to make conversation.
"Yes, I am." Alex smiled.
"Really? Wow, you grew up a lot, haven't you? The last time I saw you, you looked only three years old."
After repeating his situation with Yuuri, he nodded with some understanding to his special abilities.
"Wow, that's so cool~" Yuuri exclaimed.
"E-Eh? It's not that amazing..." Alex blushed, and looked away.
Noticing the sudden change of mood, Wolfram knew he had to intervene. Just looking at their interaction was enough to upset him.
Geez, was he not listening to anything I said at all this morning?
"Yuuri, you—"
"Ah! This may seem a little sudden," Yuuri started, as he cut Wolfram off. He took a step closer to Alex. "Would you mind helping me with something?"
"E-Eh? You want to see me?" Alex asked, glancing back at Wolfram first. He turned back to Yuuri right after and asked him why.
"Well, actually, your father told me that he'd help me out with something, but since he's busy..."
"If it's nothing too hard, then of course," Alex smiled.
"Great!" Yuuri grabbed Alex's hand and dragged him away. "I'll see you later, Wolfram~" Yuuri grinned, before running off with him.
"...W-What...?"
~V~V~V~
When they were a far enough distance away from the castle gates and away from everyone else's way, as they were getting ready for their annual Thanksgiving meal, Yuuri suddenly stopped in front of his bedroom door.
"So, then, what can I do for you, Yuuri?" Alex asked, still a bit surprised that he was called out like that.
"Well," Yuuri began, not knowing where to start. "I was wondering if you could help me with something..."
"Yes, I know, so what is it—" Yuuri grabbed Alex's arm and leaned forward.
"Can you… keep a secret…?" Yuuri asked, peering into his eyes for an honest answer.
"W-What?" Alex took a step back. "What do you want me to…?"
"I need you to keep this a secret from Wolfram," Yuuri began, as he gently pulled Alex closer— even closer than they ever should be.
"Yuuri…heika?" Alex whispered, in confusion. "What exactly-?"
Yuuri lifted his chin with a finger and looked him straight in the eye. "I need to know…" And just leaving him with that, he leaned forward...
~V~V~V~
"Your highness!" His soldiers bowed when they saw Wolfram walk into the main ballroom.
Wolfram nodded in acknowledgement, then sat down in an empty seat.
"How are the preparations going?" He asked, though he wasn't all that interested.
"There are some more things to be done, but I'm sure we can complete them before the guests start arriving," one of the soldiers answered, though Wolfram didn't pay attention to which one.
He continued to blankly stare at the tiled floor in a daze, while the other soldiers continued to work.
Does Yuuri really think that?
Wolfram picked his leg up and crossed one over the other.
Did he really not want to be in this relationship? I mean, of course he's still in it and hasn't ever denied it, but he never really agreed to our engagement either.
Wolfram picked up a silver utensil and spun it around between his fingers.
He never looks like he doesn't want to be with me… It's quite the contrary, actually.
Most of the times, I'm so sick of him that I can't stand him: He's always being perverted around me and only wants to touch me. He's always asking for it whenever we're together and I can't be alone with him for even a minute without some perverted thought going through his head. If I really did whatever he wanted, he would probably just want me to reenact more of his perverted fantasies.
Wolfram sighed.
Even so, I still love him…
And it's not like there's anything especially great about Yuuri:
He doesn't have a great sense of style and he's not smart; He's an idiot king that acts impulsively on his emotions, so there's never a moment in my life now where I'm not mad at him for doing something stupid. He's too kind for his own good, so people start taking advantage of that. And he also likes to flirt with any girl that comes along and doesn't know how to say no (that's exactly how he'll get taken advantage of). That's also the exact reason why I always need to keep my eyes on him.
And yet with me, he just wants to have sex all the time…
Of course, he'll always treat me well and do romantic things too…
Wolfram groaned at how much of an idiot he, himself, was being now.
Why am I so in love with him?
But then he remembered what Alex had said before.
Even though Alex doesn't know our situation, it's true that there's something unfulfilling about our relationship.
After all, when did we ever truly talk about our relationship more seriously?
Aside from sex, when has he ever showed me that he loved me?
And all these questions didn't come out of nowhere—
Even without Alex's sudden involvement in our relationship, I have to admit that it's hard to see what Yuuri wants, exactly…
Is he in this relationship for the sake of an engagement?
Is he in this for me?
Or is he in this for himself…?
Wolfram stood up.
"Your highness?" A soldier called, when he noticed Wolfram suddenly moving about. "Is there something wrong?"
Our relationship…
I don't want to believe it, but…
But could it all just be infatuation…?
Wolfram looked up.
"I'll be back!" He yelled, then ran out the room. Wolfram briskly walked to their bedroom, hoping he would find Yuuri there.
I want to know what Yuuri thinks about our relationship…
I need to know…
~V~V~V~
"So then, you'll be helping me out?" Yuuri asked, when they were just about to finish up.
"Of course! I'm happy to fulfill every one of your wishes, your majesty." Alex smiled. "If I can't even do that, how can anyone expect me to obey my king and serve him to the fullest?"
Yuuri scratched his head. "Well, you don't have to go that far, but..."
Alex walked towards the door, but quickly turned around to add, "so we'll talk again in a bit?" to confirm their plans.
"Yeah, I'll see you in a bit," Yuuri smiled, after watching him leave.
He walked over to his bed and sat down.
Yuuri sighed.
"I hope he doesn't find out…" He murmured, with his head bent low.
~V~V~V~
"Look, it's not like I don't believe in him; it's just that I want to know what he thinks about our relationship," Wolfram murmured to himself, hoping that he'd convince himself to confront him. "Just walk in, go up to him, and ask him if he loves me. It's not that big of a deal, right?" He tried not to make too much of a big deal out of it, but he just couldn't.
He shook his head, knowing that asking him so straightforwardly was impossible.
It'd just make me look insecure and needy…
And even if I want to ask, why do I need to aks him now?
It's not that important if I ask, is it?
He was just so wary about confronting him about their engagement and the problem in their relationship: if something went wrong in their conversation, it could be the end of what they had.
And Wolfram was comfortable in what they had already...
As soon as he felt he made a sound argument to himself, he heard the door unlock and the doorknob turn in time for someone to walk out of their room.
"so we'll talk in a bit?" He heard Alex ask, before he was completely out the door. And from inside their room, he heard Yuuri's reply: "Yeah, I'll see you in a bit."
And with that, Alex closed the door and walked down the hallway towards the main ballroom.
…
….
…..
"Why was he in our bedroom…?"
As if his body was moving on its own, Wolfram walked over to their bedroom door and opened it.
"W-Who's there?" Yuuri shouted, as soon as he heard the racket from the door, but relaxed when he saw it was Wolfram. "Oh, Wolfram~" Yuuri smiled.
Wolfram's face fell when he saw that Yuuri was half-naked.
"Yuuri…" He muttered under his breathe. "Why aren't you dressed?"
"H-Huh?" Yuuri looked down. "Well, I'm changing now, so…"
"Change?" Wolfram looked up.
"Yeah, I have to change and get ready for the Thanksgiving dinner." He explained, as he opened the closet door. "Are you going to get ready too?" He asked.
"Ne, Yuuri~" Wolfram quietly murmured, ignoring his question, as he made his way over to his side.
"Yeah, Wolfram?" He asked, while rummaging through their closet for the outfit he laid out for dinner.
"…What… were you talking about with Alex?" Wolfram asked.
"Hmm?" Yuuri found his attire in the back of the closet and pulled it out. "Sorry, Wolfram, I didn't hear you. What did you say?"
"Um, about Alex…"
"O-Oh, what about him?" Yuuri stuttered, as if he was trying to hide something. He turned around and unbuttoned his shirt to change.
"…What did you two talk about before?" Wolfram repeated.
"It's nothing," Yuuri replied, looking away. He slipped into his formal night attire and tossed his other clothes onto the bed.
"Yuuri!"
"What is it?" He asked, desperately trying to change the subject. "You have to get ready too, don't you?" Yuuri tried to distract him the best he could, but it seemed that he really wouldn't just back down.
"Then, what were the two of you doing alone?" He asked, trying to push him further. "Ne, why can't you tell me?" Wolfram tried to coerce him into talking, but Yuuri just walked away. He quickly tried to leave the room, but Wolfram caught his hand.
"Yuuri!" He screamed.
"It's none of your business!" Yuuri yelled, as he hit his hand away; though the second those words came out, he wanted to take them back. "W-Wait, I didn't mean it like that—" .
"…!" Wolfram shrunk back in shock. "You…"
"W-Wait, it's just that—"
Wolfram, in return, pushed him away.
"W-Why?" Wolfram cried. "Does it bother you that I'm getting in your way? Why can't you tell me, Yuuri?" Wolfram asked.
"It's nothing, really." Yuuri tried to make him believe him, but he could see that the conversation wouldn't go his way.
Wolfram shoved him away and stood up.
From behind, Yuuri could tell he was crying.
As he wiped his tears, he murmured, "Whatever," and walked out the door.
What the hell is his problem?
Why won't he tell me?
Does he have something to hide?
Wolfram stopped walking.
Was there something to hide?
Alone in our bedroom with another man…
Another man that is just as attracting and beautiful,
And definitely younger…
Wolfram bit his lips to stop himself from crying.
"You're the worst…"
~V~V~V~
All the guests were already seated and being served dinner by the time Wolfram made his way to the main ballroom.
He didn't really care for food at the moment or anything else for that matter—
Until he noticed that his seat beside Yuuri had already been taken by the young man he had been loathing for the last hour.
"Oh, Wolfram," Alex stood up, about to go back to his seat, when Wolfram turned away and sat down at some random seat.
Alex slowly sat back down and continued to talk with Yuuri, though Yuuri knew Wolfram was mad at him for doing this.
He tried his best not to pay any attention to them, but he couldn't help but notice that Alex was practically all over him: he held onto his arm and touched him unnecessarily. Even though he could tell that Yuuri was trying to push him away, Alex seemed oblivious to his discomfort.
Is he honestly trying to steal my man?
What the hell is wrong with Alex!
Is it not enough for him to go after one man, and then another?
Even after asking me, how could he just forget me in a second and go to my fiancée!
Just what does Alex want?
And what's wrong with Yuuri?
Shouldn't he be telling Alex not to touch him so much!
Does he have no morals at all?
Just because he's younger and maybe a bit more attractive…
Even though he shouldn't, Wolfram knew he had been glaring at the two the whole time. Even as everyone each said their graces and what they were most thankful for this year, Wolfram just eyed Yuuri intensely; enough to make him feel his anger from a distance.
As soon as it was his turn, Wolfram stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.
"I'm thankful to my family, of course: they've always been my support throughout the year and I'm grateful for what they go through to help me whenever I am in need of their help. I'm thankful to my friends, who also have supported me to the point where I have to ask them now to lay off a bit," Wolfram smiled, then stopped for a moment to pause. "But most importantly, I'm most thankful to my fiancée" He said with a bit of sarcasm, as he turned everyone's attention to Yuuri. "You may be an idiot at times; and a cheater, a flirt, and a too-kind-for-your-own-good type of a man," Wolfram started, as he gave him a frightening smile, "but I found out today that you were one more thing," He paused again to grasp the attention of everyone around them. "I found out that you're a jerk too."
Wolfram raised his glass and took a sip, before sitting back down.
With an awkward silence, the next person gave their thanks, hoping that the awkwardness would pass by then.
As soon as everyone said their graces, Yuuri stood up and raised his glass: "I'm thankful for everyone that gathered here as a way to celebrate the act of thanks and giving," He stated as he practiced in his formal speech. "I'm thankful for a lot of things, actually: the power to help others in need, the ability to bring justice, and all my advisors that helped make Shin Makoku as it is today," he took in a deep breathe as he adjusted his speech a bit: "but I'm also most thankful for my fiancée." He turned to look at Wolfram, who was simply refusing to look up at him in return. "I know I'm an idiot, but I hope what you think of me changes soon." Yuuri turned his attention back to everyone else and drank to his toast.
And as the evening continued on, Wolfram knew that Alex was still hounding Yuuri with whatever they were talking about before. And though he realized that Yuuri wasn't even capable of handling an affair, he couldn't help but feel that Yuuri was "cheating" on him.
I can't stand watching them any longer…
Wolfram stood up and excused himself from his table.
He made his way out the door and exited the main ballroom out to the garden.
I just need to clear my head for a bit…
As he walked around the royal gardens, he remained deep in thought: His only concern was with what Yuuri and Alex were doing behind his back.
It's obvious I'm insecure with the way things are with Yuuri and Alex…
Even if he's not as attractive as I am, Alex is definitely more outgoing and it seems like they have things to talk about. I, on the other hand, always yell at Yuuri for doing something wrong and I won't even do anything he wants me to do in bed.
I can't satisfy him in bed or in a personal relationship…
Then, what the hell am I?
…
It's just that, I can't help but believe in Yuuri when he says that I'm pretty… or that he likes the way I look… or that I'm cute and adorable… and that he likes how I act in bed…
Even if they're all just about sex and appearances, if it's a way to show me that he loves me…
I should at least believe in him a bit, right? After all, how could he lie about those things when he's been saying it to me everyday?
["Alex, I don't think we should talk too much anymore..." Yuuri muttered, as he let Alex into his bedroom.
"Eh? Why not?" Alex turned to him. "Did Wolfram say anything?"
"...Well, he's been a bit on edge lately, so..."
"But don't you want to do this?" ]
Even if he doesn't say it in such a straightforward way, I'm sure that he means it…
That he loves me…
["Are you going to listen to everything Wolfram says?" Alex sighed. "Isn't it about time you do something you want to do?" Alex helped Yuuri relax in a chair.
"B-But..."
"Trust me, he won't find out. Okay?" Alex whispered, holding his hands in reassurance.
"...okay, then..."
Alex slipped out of his jacket and tossed it to the ground. "Now then, you can just pretend that I'm Wolfram..."]
And if I'm not going to get a straightforward answer, I'm just going to have to believe that he loves me...
As soon as he made up his mind, Wolfram made his way back to his bedroom.
But if anything, I'll just go sleep all this stress off.
After walking through the castle corridors, Wolfram made his way to the bedroom door. He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open to step inside…
Just one look at the scene in front of him was enough for Wolfram to feel his heart pound, louder and faster with each second that passed. He swallowed, feeling something catch at his throat.
I feel sick-
This mix of fear, anxiety, and pain is suffocating him—
He couldn't take it any longer and he couldn't control it.
At that point, there was not much to say.
Wolfram quietly shut the door.
And took one small step back.
From inside the room, he heard Yuuri frantically fall to the floor and desperately try to catch up to him before he "misunderstood"...
Wolfram turned around and took another step.
Then another…
Soon, his quickened pace broke into a run. He ran faster and faster and faster until he stumbled and tripped along the way.
He clutched his fist in his fit of anger.
Wolfram stood up and broke into another furious sprint, running further away from their room until he finally slowed to a walk.
From behind, he heard Yuuri finally catch up to him.
"W-Wolf…ram…" He gasped, though he was out of breathe. He reached out his hand for his, until Wolfram slapped it away.
"Get away from me!" A shrilled scream escaped Wolfram's lips.
Yuuri quickly recoiled back.
"W-Wolfram?" He tried to take a step forward. "T-That wasn't what you thought it was," Yuuri began, trying to explain and clear up his situation.
But the only response he got right away was a frightening glare.
If only his eyes could pierce, Wolfram would've stabbed Yuuri to death.
"You…" Wolfram muttered under his breathe, about to walk away. "Don't ever touch me again…"
Author's Note:
O.o shocking isn't it? (Everything about this chapter)
I don't usually write out Wolfram's thoughts, but this chapter seemed to have a bit too much...
And yeah, the usual steamy scenes?
:X not this month (since I couldn't find any way to really incorporate it into this chapter's plot)
This chapter was really just focused on the insecurities that Wolfram faces in their relationship that is (as he believes) solely based on sex. He tries to come to some sort of an understanding with the foundation of their relationship in general, only to realize that Yuuri really has never told him "I love you" or even given proper acknowledgement to their engagement. Yuuri's inability to tell him straightforwardly about anything in their relationship at all is the source of his insecurities (they did not just come out of nowhere).
I wanted Alex's appearance in the story to definitely be influential to Wolfram and Yuuri's relationship, but since I lacked the time...
Yeah, his role was probably just confusing...
Alex is just a past character that seems to be interested in Wolfram at first, but then changes to Yuuri (?). I'm actually still not even sure... :P
But yeah, i guess the big question here: IS YUURI HAVING AN AFFAIR?
...
And I'll leave it at that~ Xd
Next Chapter: Christmas
The FINAL CHAPTER!
Like I said before, it has come to my attention that I need to get some editing done; so I'll get to that ASAP (hopefully, I'll finish all of them by the end of January or so)
*SIGHS* the last chapter...
it'll be a bittersweet end, won't it? -.-
But I'm still really looking forward to it~
[I suppose the last chapter is just every writer's most important and favorite parts...
(of course, it's the most hectic one too, but...)]
Don't forget to review~! ^^
