Warning: Yaoi, incest
This is really the last chapter, this time, I swear! I just need to settle some loose ends. And lucky you, there's another lemon in this chapter, but I won't tell you if it's Murata/Yuuri or Conrad/Wolfram. Read on if you want to find out :D
Conrad's POV
Glancing around, I take in my surroundings, particularly the blond in my arms. I exhale in disbelief. I thought I was going crazy, but I think last night may have actually happened. Wolfram and I…
After I was finished giving head to him, he returned the favour; but when I suggested we go further, he declined. However, I was still able to have oral sex with him, and sleep with him in my arms. It's like I'm in an alternate reality, where everything magically turns out well. Am I really getting my happy ending?
Wolfram stirs in his sleep. I caress his cheek, wiping his hair off of his face. His eyes flutter open.
After a moment, his expression contorts with worry and regret. Not what I was hoping for, but let's just see what he has to say.
The blond pushes my hand away from his face and sits up. I mimic the latter action. He closes his eyes to think for a little while, before suggesting, "Let's forget about last night."
My heart clenches. "Why?"
Wolfram shakes his head, standing up and gathering his belongings. "If you don't know why then there's something seriously wrong with you."
I take a deep breath in attempt to calm myself. "Why would you let it happen in the first place, then?"
Wolfram rolls his eyes. "Let what happen? Stop making stuff up in your head, it's not healthy."
I hold my breath, my heart stinging. Why does he have to act like this? It's because he's Wolfram, of course… I guess it would be asking too much to have the flaws in his personality be erased. I love his flaws as much as I love him, but they sure are difficult to deal with.
Letting out a small sigh, I drop back down into my pillow. Maybe confessing was a bad idea.
Wolfram's POV
This is so wrong. I... with Conrad... What the fuck was I thinking! That's right, I wasn't. I did that with my own brother!
I toss my stuff over my shoulder and exit the tent, refusing to look at him. What would the rest of our family think? 'Oh, by the way, Mom, brother and I are had oral sex.' What mother wants to hear that?!
I rub my left cheek. He slapped me. My own brother fucking proposed to me. It's so wrong, I can't believe I gave in to his perverted ways. I don't think I'll ever live this down.
The former Great Sage is by the fire. His neck is covered in tiny bruises. I glare at them when I realize what they are.
That's it, maybe I was too distraught from Yuuri breaking off the engagement. That would make sense.
His Highness catches my scowl. "You know, you shouldn't be one to judge, you started before we did."
I choke. What did he say? He... he heard! Oh dear grave, wherever you may be, I almost welcome you now.
"If you tell a soul," I growl, "Someone's throat is going to be slit."
Conrad's POV
It's been three weeks since the camping trip, and Wolfram and I haven't spoken a word to each other since. The two of us are currently in the same room, because we have to be. Yuuri wants to visit Caloria.
Wolfram rolls his eyes. "We're not engaged anymore, I don't have any obligation to come with you."
The king's eyes narrow slightly. "Well I'm your king and I order you to come with me. I'm sorry I left you, but at least I pushed you towards someone else."
I don't think I like where this is going...
Wolfram growls through clenched teeth, "The past is behind me, Your Majesty. I'm happy to accompany you as long as he doesn't come along."
He doesn't even point at me, but everyone knows who he's talking about. My heart aches.
"As the moah, I command the both of you to escort me, and to get along. This is ridiculous! Just make up, already!"
I bow to Yuuri. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. It's my fault, and I don't think he will be willing to forgive me."
"You guys just need to talk it out so you understand each other. You two can't leave this room until you're made up!" Just like that, King Yuuri exits the room and slams the door shut behind him.
I look over at my unrequited love. He doesn't look back, simply glaring at a plant and sitting down in a chair.
I inhale slowly before addressing him. "Wolfram..."
He doesn't respond.
"Didn't you say we would forget it ever happened?"
His fair face is dropped into his hands. "He can't keep us in here forever," he murmurs. I can't pinpoint what his expression indicates. What is going on in his head? He seems almost... depressed?
"This is our stubborn king we're talking about," I remind him. "I doubt he'll give in any time soon."
There's no response. Wolfram just continues gazing blankly at the plant in front of him.
I heave a sigh, kneeling down beside him. I look up at him with worried eyes. "Please tell me what you're thinking."
Our eyes meet for a split second, before the prince averts his gaze, his face tinting pink. I can see his jaws tighten. Is he that angry at me?
The pain in my chest increases. I absentmindedly lean my forehead onto his knee. By the time I realize what I'm doing, I've already spent moments in this position. Is he not opposed to it? I wonder. Soon, I succumb to the warm feeling in my heart that his touch gives me, and keep my head in place.
Eventually, he pushes my head away from him, but he doesn't use much force. He finally speaks up, his voice blunt. "It's not right... What we did shouldn't have been done between brothers. What would our mother do if she found out? What about Gwendal? It's sick. We're both sick."
I clench my fists with anxiety, searching my mind for a way to help him. "It wasn't you, it was all me. It's not your fault."
Wolfram grabs the fabric of his pants at the knees. His eyes shift to the side opposite to me, but soon they look directly at me. "I hate you," he mutters, his voice monotonous. His eyes show no emotion.
My eyebrows furrow before he continues, "I hate you because I love you too much... and it's wrong..."
No one has ever tugged at my heart like this man. I can't help it, I reach up and caress his cheek. "Why is it wrong? Who decided it was wrong in the first place?"
He looks at me with sorrowful eyes. "Because we're family, this isn't how family..."
He stops when I arise and start closing the space in between us. Just as our lips are about to touch, he backs up his head. "Why are you making it harder for the both of us?" His voice is quivering. This is the first time I've felt this strong of a desire to comfort someone.
"I love you, Wolfram," I mumble. "I would give up everything to be with you, even if our family ends up hating us for it."
Teary eyes look down at me, half-lidded. His lips part ever-so-slightly, and in my mind they itch for me to kiss them. But I have to resist.
He closes his eyes. "Well, then you should take into account that I'd lose my family, too." Emerald orbs open back up and look me straight in the eye. "If you love me than you don't want me to suffer through that."
"If it's really what you want, I won't make any more moves on you. I wouldn't have let what happened at the camping trip happen if I knew you were going to regret it; or that you would avoid me like this… So let's just dismiss our memories and be like we used to be, or we'll never get out of this room."
Tears in glazed emerald eyes threaten to fall. "I can't help but avoid you, you idiot! The thing is, I-" His words get caught up in his throat for a second. His face is scarlet. "I want... to be with you. The thing is, though, that if we get caught, our lives are over."
So he's like this because he can't make up his mind. "Maybe we won't get caught," I offer. "Even if we do, maybe they won't mind. No one who already knows cares, so who's to say that everyone else that matters won't be just as accepting?"
"We can't place our bets on that," Wolfram argues, his voice quiet.
Succumbing to my desires, I lean forward and take his lips with my own. Familiar tingling sensations return to my mouth. When we part, I close my eyes and lean my forehead against his. "No one more needs to know unless we get caught, and I won't let that happen."
I feel him nod. "Okay..."
Fin.
