A/N: Here is my next instalment of 'Impromptu Trip'! I'm sorry if some of the parts suck, but I don't like writing a scene with more than three people…
And I know Shori might seem OOC, but I wanted to test him out like this!
Thanks for all reviews/subscribes/favourites!

"What the hell do you think you're doing to him?!"
Uh oh, this was not good.
-o-o-o-
"I knew you wanted my brother, but since he was engage to yours I tried to get along with you. But now you're doing something like this!"
"Shori—"
"I should have known you'd do something like this and never trusted you with my brother!"
"Shori," Something in Conrad's voice made the older Shibuya stop his tirade and listen to what the other man had to say, "You've got to help me, Yuuri's been injured a—"
"WHAT?! Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Shori knelt down as Conrad finished undressing Yuuri's upper half. "What can I do to help?"
"Here," Gently Conrad pushed Yuuri into his brother's arms as he straightened out the bandages and proceeded to wrap them.
"What happened?" Eve n in the dark Conrad could tell that Shori looked slightly nauseous, but Conrad had to give him credit for taking this so well.
Once Conrad was done telling the story and wrapping up Yuuri's wound, he covered the half naked boy with his large uniform coat. Then Shori picked up his brother and started leading the way to the Shibuya residence.
"I can't believe you let him get hurt."
"I'm sorry."
"I trusted you to protect him."
"I know and I have no excuse for letting you down."
There was a moment of silence.
"You know, I expected you to argue and say that you tried your best to protect him."
"I think I did my best, but I still failed."
Shori sighed, "You're impossible to figure out…"
The rest of the trip was in silence, until they reached the doorstep. "Could you open the door or me?"
Without a word Conrad did as was told, holding the door open for the two black-haired brothers to enter.
"Yuu-chan is that you?" Miko came to the door and her smile reached her ears as she saw Conrad.
"Conrad, it's been such a long time!"
"I'm sorry for the unannounced visit, Miko-san." He said with a bow, but without his usual smile, which Miko took note of immediately.
"Where's Yuu-cha—" The woman froze as she spotted her youngest son unconscious in his brother's arms. "Yuu-chan! What happened to him? Here, bring him in, he needs to lie down. You should take him to his room; it's much more comfortable than the couch."
All the noise attracted the attention of Shibuya Shoma, but he refrained from saying anything, preferring to just follow his sons upstairs.
Halfway up Conrad asked Miko where she kept the first aid kit and the two went to the bathroom to get it while the oldest males of the family put the youngest to bed.
Soon Conrad returned with the first aid kit and he and Shori started working on Yuuri. Shori was once again holding Yuuri up while Conrad cleaned and bandaged his shoulder.
"What happened?" Shoma asked, but only after his youngest son was tucked safely in bed.
Conrad was about to start his story again when Miko grabbed his arm, "Conrad, you're hurt, too. Here, let me take care of that."
"Ah, it's not really—"
"Nonsense, it'll get infected if you leave it like that."
So the next ten minutes were spent with Miko fixing Conrad's arm while he told them what had happened.
"I'm glad you're both ok." Miko was mostly looking at her son, but Conrad could tell that she meant it for him too, which made him feel even guiltier for having gotten away with such a small injury.
There was a long bout of silence during which they all just stared at the pale teen in the bed. Then Miko clapped her hands together, though without her usual enthusiasm, "Is anyone hungry? I know it's already late, but…" No one answered, all unsure of what to say, "Well I'll go make some sandwiches; I'm sure Yuuri will be hungry once he wakes up."
There was one more minute of silence before Shoma got up, saying he would go take care of his wife and make sure she was alright.
"How are things between Yuuri and Wolfram?" It seemed that Shori had decided that Conrad was looking at his younger brother a little too intently.
"Wolfram seems to be backing down; he isn't as insistent as before…"
"So you've taken this chance to move in?" A shake of the head. "You really are impossible to figure out…"
Shori got up, stretching his arms above his head, "I'm getting a drink. Can I get you anything?"
"No thank you."
Shori sighed and left the room, joining his parents downstairs.
"Yuuri…" Conrad brushed a stray strand of black hair form said teen's face. "This is all my fault and I'm so sorry. I don't know if you can ever forgive me for putting you in danger like this…"
"Ngh…" Conrad sat up straighter as Yuuri shifted in the bed. He watched as black eyes blinked open slowly, trying to focus on their surroundings.
"Yuuri, how are you feeling?"
The black orbs turned to the speaker and it took a moment for the face to register in his foggy mind. "Conrad?"
"Does it hurt anywhere?"
"…no…" Yuuri shifted and closed his eyes in pain, "Yes."
"I'll go ask Miko-san for a painkiller." Conrad stood, ignoring the panic in Yuuri's eyes, "Are you hungry? She's making sandwiches…"
"…don't go…"
"But I—"
"I believe that was a direct order from your king, Conrad, so it would not be wise for you to ignore it." The elder brother smirked at the brunette before turning his eyes on his brother. "Are you alright, Yuu-chan? Do you need anything?"
"Conrad mentioned sandwiches and a painkiller…?"
"I'll be right back."
The young king had apparently decided that he had had enough of lying down and tried to get up, "Itai, itai, itai…"
"Here, let me help." The soldier did just that by aiding Yuuri to sit up and propping the pillow up behind his back.
"Thanks, now care to fill me in?"
Conrad gave him a confused look and Yuuri rolled his eyes, "Well we obviously made it back to Earth, but I'm not exactly sure which location I ended up picking…" At least the boy had the courtesy to look sheepish. "See I wasn't sure if the bathtub was full or not and the park might have attracted too much attention, but it would be close—"
"You transported us to the lake."
"Oh… well that's good, right?"
Brown eyes twinkled amusedly, "Oh it was fine, but if Shori hadn't shown up I wouldn't have known the way to your house…"
This time it was Yuuri's turn to look confused, "What was Shori doing there at this time of the night?"
The soldier was a bit taken aback; now that it was mentioned…
"I was just making sure that he didn't try to molest you too much." Shori gave Conrad a nasty look as he entered with the tray.
Yuuri cocked his head to the side cutely, "What are you talking about?"
Before Conrad could say anything Shori did, "It's a good thing I got there as fast as I did; Conrad only had you half-undressed." Yuuri's face turned and interesting shade of red and Conrad shifted uncomfortably. "Honestly Yuu-chan, you should be careful in choosing who to accompany you when going into a remote forest in the middle of the night." Then the elder Shibuya's face turned up in a smile, "Enjoy your sandwiches, Yuu-chan!"
Conrad was the first to recover after Shori had left, "You should take that painkiller now."
"Right…"
An awkward silence followed the pill's ingestion.
"Look," Conrad sighed, not wanting this awkwardness between him and Yuuri to continue, "About what Shori said… I just needed to bandage the wound so..."
"Oh, I see." That's when Yuuri noticed Conrad's torn shirt. "You'll need a new shirt before we go back to Shin Makoku, which we should do first thing tomorrow morning."
"That is if you're feeling up for it."
"I'll be fine by tomorrow, Conrad. Honestly," Yuuri gave him an amused look, "You worry too much."
"It's not my fault I care about you."
"Then whose fault is it?" Yuuri challenged.
"Yours, for being perfect." Conrad flashed him a smile and Yuuri blushed.
Miko came to the doorway of her youngest son's bedroom, "How are the sandwiches, Yuu-chan? Did you try any Conrad?"
"They're great, mum!" The full plate of sandwiches remained silent, not wanting to give the duo away, and, frankly, not wanting to be noticed, let alone they get eaten.
"Yuu-chan, how many times do I have to tell you to call me 'mama'?" The brunette woman left, shaking her head and muttering something about getting Conrad a pair of Shori's pyjamas.
The brunette left in the room laughed softly, "Do you realise that your whole family has a thing with names and titles?"
Yuuri looked at him in an odd way while grabbing one of the sandwiches, "How do you mean?"
"Miko-san keeps telling you to call her 'mama' and Shori tells you to call him 'onii-chan' and you keep telling me to call you Yuuri."
The young king gave him an indignant look, "But what you call others is important. Mum always said that names and titles tell of the relationship between people and if you want to have a good relationship with someone you insist they call you something special."
"Are you saying that calling you by your given name is special?"
"Of course; you gave me that name which means that it's special!"
"What about before you found out that I gave you that name?"
"Well you say it different! And you're the one who named me so you're the only one who knows how to pronounce my real name. It's not special when someone else calls me Yuuri because they don't say it the same way you do." Conrad was looking at Yuuri like he had just told Conrad that Dai Shimaron wanted to join the alliance. "Am I making any sense or am I just talking crazy like I normally do?"
"No, it makes sense… it's just that…" But Conrad couldn't finish that thought as Shori came in and threw pyjamas at him.
"I could get the futon out, but I have a test tomorrow so I'm going to bed. If you don't want to share a bed then get the futon out yourself. Good night!"
This left the two blinking in bewilderment.
"What?" Yuuri seemed genuinely confused and Conrad couldn't blame him. "He's been acting weird the whole night… I think he's finally lost it…"
Conrad nodded his consent, "Where do you keep the futon?"
"It's in the closet in the hall—"
"No, no, no, no, no!" Shori burst in, like he had been listening just outside the door. "You," He pointed at Conrad, "Get changed and you," He turned to Yuuri, "Make space for him on the bed."
The two had a feeling that Shori was still right outside the door, so they had no choice but to follow orders.
Once they were in bed Yuuri turned to face his soldier, "You're not like Wolfram, are you?"
"I don't think so…"
"So you won't be abusing me in your sleep?"
Conrad gave a small laugh at that, "Of course I won't."
"Good, because I don't think my shoulder could take the abuse."
"I promise to be extra careful."
"You always are." Black eyes closed in a loving smile.
"I try my best, but…" Conrad reached over and touched Yuuri's shoulder.
"You know, I never—" The two blinked at each other, having said the same thing at the same time.
"You go first, Yuuri."
"I just wanted to thank you for coming to my aid and protecting me."
"But, I wanted to apologise to you for getting you injured and into that whole mess."
Conrad's apology was met with owlish black orbs, "It's not like you told Shinou to transport me there. By the way, why was I transported over?" Then fear took over his facial features, "No one's hurt or in trouble, right?"
Conrad's gentle smile and shake of the head quelled his fears, "It wasn't even Shinou's wish for you to come; there was some sort of mishap at the Temple, I didn't hear all the details…" Conrad had left in search of his king when he had learned that Yuuri was being transported and had ignored the explanations of how it happened.
"Well that's one thing we'll have to ask Ulrike once we go back."
"Speaking of going back… You should really sleep."
"Not until you do!" It was then agreed upon that they both go to sleep.
Conrad was just about to slip under, when he felt the figure next to him shift. He mentally shook himself more awake, "Yuuri?"
Then he felt his small king snuggle up to his side, "You're warm… and comfortable…"
Conrad smiled at his half-asleep king, putting his arm around the boy and pulling him closer. "Why didn't you say so in the first place?"
That's how the pair eventually fell asleep; Yuuri using Conrad's chest as a pillow and Conrad having a protective arm around his waist.
