Author Notes: I AM SO SORRY! Haha…it's been 'awhile' since I've updated ne? Haha…I was trying to reach my target actually. 80 reviews! See, I wanted to follow the numbers of my chapters, such as, 8 chappie…80 reviews. See? Haha….I know it's a bit lame, but everyone has a goal in their life, ne? Man, I am so sorry for making you guys wait a long time…but this chappie is hard. My mind is not flowing like it use to. Okay, so, let me start the story.
Yuuri woke up with a start. There was no nightmare, but, Yuuri was worried. He's been up nearly all night, thinking of a nice 'partner', shall we put it, for Elemunt. He knew he couldn't touch Gwendel and Gunter. Both were taken (by each other, of course). He was thinking of Anissina, but Elemunt would be a guinea pig for her. Yuuri shivered at that thought. He imagines Anissina laughing 'maniacally' and Elemunt crying helplessly. Anissina was not a good candidate.
Then, there were the three maids. But, if Elemunt marry to one of them, the other two would be so hurt and if he were to marry all three, he'll be deaf. Those three girls were like a supersonic sound system. Loud and high pitched. Even Yuuri gets annoyed at times by them. He also thought of Gisela, but Gunter would not allow it. There is something going on between Gisela and Aldebert. Like a spark or something. Yuuri scratched his head. This was so frustrating.
Then, briefly, he thought about Konrad. That's when it 'clicked'. Konrad seems to be a loner. He seems to have no one on his mind. There was an option. Yuuri couldn't help but smile. Now, he can put his mind at ease. For a while that is. He still has to figure out on how to get them together. He decided to take a nice, warm and refreshing bath. It always seems to calm his soul. He gently got off the bed, being really, no let me rephrase, being extremely careful not to wake Wolfram up. As he got off the bed, Wolfram groaned and stirred. Yuuri froze and turned white. 'Oh no, the monster has awoken!' Yuuri thought. But, Wolfram didn't wake up. Yuuri let out a sigh of relief. Wolfram can be cranky when a person wakes him up before noon. It was too early, he had told Yuuri once (consider it as a fair warning). Yes, too early.
Yuuri proceeded towards the Maou's royal bathroom. There, he stripped off his clothing and undergarments, revealing his muscular (a bit only) body. He stepped slowly into the warm water and relaxed. He closed his eyes, bringing his mind elsewhere. He felt really tired, with the lack of sleep he was getting. So, now, how to get Konrad and Elemunt together? Yuuri thought of giving each of the two a letter, signing it as an admirer. Then, from there, Yuuri had no idea what to do. If they meet…Yuuri couldn't think what would happen after that. He would just wait and see. Hoping there wouldn't be a lot of trouble later on.
Wolfram woke up, still feeling sleepy. He felt for Yuuri beside him but all he got was the soft bed. His eyes shot open and scanned around. Yuuri was nowhere in sight. Wolfram suddenly felt an aching feeling in his chest, afraid something might have happened to Yuuri. But all his worries were gone when he saw Yuuri coming in, rubbing his hair with a towel.
"Wolfram! You're awake!"
"You wimp! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"What did I do?" Yuuri asked, puzzled.
"I thought you were kidnapped or something!"
"Hmm," Yuuri thought for a moment before replying, "But no one would dare to come close to me even one bit when you're there," he said in a playful tone.
"True," Wolfram stood up and grabbed his towel. Suddenly, he felt something encircling his slim waist from behind. "W-Wha-?"
"Hey, where you going?"
"Oh, I'm going to a party, while bringing my towel along," Wolfram said sarcastically while rolling his eyes and whipped Yuuri lightly with his towel.
"Oh? Is it a naked party then?" Yuuri sounded so devious, whispering to Wolfram's ear.
"Yuuri! You're a pervert you know that?"
"Ah, but I am only a pervert if you're there."
Yuuri then nuzzled along Wolfram's neck and placing small little kisses along it. Wolfram closed his eyes, feeling rather good. Yuuri then proceeded upwards until he reached the blond's lips. Wolfram parted them slowly, allowing Yuuri to enter it. Yuuri turned Wolfram around and kissed those soft lips carefully, making sure he tasted every bit of Wolfram's lips.
Yuuri's hands wondered elsewhere until it reached a certain point. Wolfram was starting to feel hot when Yuuri gently brushed his hand against Wolfram's hard member. He let a moan escape his lips. It was so good. Wolfram was feeling really hot. Yuuri brushed a bit harder and deepened the kiss, not allowing Wolfram to make another sexy moan. When Wolfram did nothing to stop this, Yuuri pulled up Wolfram's night gown, up to his thigh, almost to his private part. By then Wolfram realized what was going on and pushed Yuuri away.
"E-Enough!" Wolfram said in between pants.
"Why Wolfram? You looked like you really wanted it."
"Yuuri, just, go slower a bit alright? I'm not sure if I'm ready yet."
Yuuri grabbed Wolfram by the waist again and brought them closer together, tugging on a smile, "Alright. Just tell me when you're ready, okay?"
"Okay," Wolfram smiled and kissed Yuuri lightly on the lips.
"Now go and get a bath, you stink!" Yuuri covered his nose.
"YUURI!"
"Alright, alright! I joke! I joke!"
"Grrr! If you ever pull that lame stunt on me again, God knows what will happen!"
"Awww….Wolfram, I can't bear to see you angry at me," Yuuri said playfully.
So, Yuuri wants it that way, eh? Wolfram can do better. Wolfram made an angry glare and then turned around with a 'hmph!'. He then stomped off and went to the bathroom. Yuuri sighed. He knew he shouldn't have pushed it. He chased after Wolfram but ended up getting the bathroom door slammed on his face. Yuuri waited for Wolfram outside until he was done, but again, he was ignored. When they arrived at the breakfast table, Wolfram had an angry face on wile Yuuri had the 'I'm sorry' face.
Just then, Elemunt came in, talking to Konrad. Yuuri leaned closer to Wolfram. Wolfram moved away slightly. They still have not announced that they are together again. Even though Wolfram thought they showed a lot of signs already. How can it have gone unnoticed? Yuuri whispered Wolfram's name softly.
"What?" the blond respond softly, not looking at Yuuri.
"I've got a plan. You know, the one about getting Elemunt a new 'partner'?"
"Well?"
"I'll tell you. Right now, just act normal."
"Aren't I acting normal already?"
"Right…Hehe."
Elemunt took his seat beside Wolfram and breakfast proceeded as it should be. After that, Yuuri excused himself, as did Wolfram. They hurriedly went to Yuuri's room before Elemunt has the chance to catch up. Inside, Yuuri locked the door and sat on the bed. Wolfram didn't hesitate to follow and sat in front of Yuuri. He then leaned against his lover and Yuuri hugged him around the waist.
"What's your plan?"
"Well, I thought about all the available people and Konrad seems to be the only one available."
"Konrad?" Wolfram pulled away and looked at Yuuri.
"Yeah. I couldn't think of anyone else."
"But, it's not easy to confront Weller-kyo."
"Wolfram, just call him 'brother'. What's so hard about that?"
"Nothing. It just doesn't feel right.'
"Come on, he's your flesh and blood."
"Brother won't accept it. Happy now?"
"Why won't he accept?"
"Wel-Brother is someone who chooses what he wants by himself. It won't work."
"Any other suggestion then?" Wolfram thought for a while.
'My brother it is then."
Plan getting Konrad and Elemunt together was tough. They had to arrange everything in order. Wolfram had planned that they went out together, as in him, Yuuri, Konrad and Elemunt together, then, Yuuri and Wolfram would then wonder off to find or hunt for something that they'll figure out what it is later. Leaving the two behind, under a tree, with a silence atmosphere, just the two…something would just have to 'click' then. Or else, just like what Yuuri had said, Wolfram's going to get two husbands.
So, that day itself, Wolfram and Yuuri dragged Konrad and Elemunt to the picnic. Wolfram had to ride with Elemunt since Konrad still doesn't know that he and Yuuri are together again. Yuuri rode with Konrad, hugging the guy tightly and he saw Wolfram threw him an angry glare and mumbled something that seems like 'cheater'. Yuuri laughed nervously and backed away from Konrad a bit. He turned to Wolfram who gave him a 'that's-a-good-boy' smile. Of course, Konrad noticed this but decided to keep his mouth shut…until they reached the picnic that is. After arriving at the picnic area and setting up for it, Konrad went to Yuuri to have a 'talk'.
"Hei-Yuuri. I've noticed some 'changes' between you and Wolfram."
"C-Changes? What do you mean, Konrad," Yuuri said, trying to keep it calm.
"Well, I've noticed that you two seems to be…interacting with each other again."
"Really? When?" Yuuri tried as hard as he could to keep it together.
"Well, when we were riding together, you suddenly moved away and then I saw Wolfram smile after you did it."
"I-!" Yuuri couldn't find a comeback. Konrad was a sharp one. So, he coughed out the truth, "Well, you see, Wolfram and I…we…uh…," Yuuri couldn't say it straight.
"You guys got together again right?" Konrad smiled warmly.
"Yes."
"So, let me guess, you want to 'hook me up' with Elemunt, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, Heika. But I'm not available," Konrad said it straight and simple, with a smile.
"Not available? What do you mean?"
"Well, just like you aren't available, since you have Wolfram, I am not available as I have someone as well."
"Who is this 'someone'?" Yuuri cocked an eyebrow.
"You should know."
Yuuri thought for a while. He thought of who were close to Konrad. There was him, Wolfram, Gwendel, Gunter, Greta…what was he thinking? Those people are family, well, except for Gunter, but he'll soon be a part of the family. Yuuri thought again. Then he remembered Aldebert and Yozak. Aldebert can't be it. Since he is their enemy. Maybe…No way!
"…Yozak?"
"Yes."
By that time, Yuuri just froze. Konrad looked at him worriedly. Was it such a surprise? Konrad shook Yuuri to see whether the boy was still with him or not. Yuuri shook his head and turned to look at Konrad. It was a hard thing to dissolve, but Yuuri guess that not everyone would go for looks. He gave Konrad a warm smile, assuring his godfather that he was fine with it. They went to join Elemunt and Wolfram who seems to be enjoying themselves. Yuuri felt a bit…jealous. They settled down and talked about random things. The kingdom, the people and their problems and other things. Wolfram was getting worried, why haven't Yuuri make the signal for the plan? It's nearly sun down and they were going home soon. Suddenly, Yuuri stood up and stretched. He looked at Wolfram and spoke.
"Wolfram, I wanted to stretch my legs, want to come along?"
Wolfram nodded, making a serious face, trying to pretend like He and Yuuri had nothing going on. Konrad laughed a bit at this. Wolfram turned to look at him and cocked his eyebrow. Konrad looked at him innocently, almost making Wolfram more suspicious. Yuuri walked ahead and Wolfram followed closely. When they reached a spot where they couldn't be seen, Wolfram approached Yuuri, grabbing the King's arm.
"What is it, Wolfram?" Yuuri asked, turning around.
"Spill it."
"Spill what?"
"What did you tell Konrad?"
"What you mean?"
"Ever since you and him talking, he's been eyeing me every time I got near you."
"Well, he knows."
"He knows? Speak properly, Yuuri!"
"I mean, he knows we are together."
"What? Why did you tell him?" Wolfram raised his voice.
"He figured it out!" Yuuri covered his head.
"Argh! How could he?"
"You know, you must give Konrad more credit than that."
"So…are we going through with the plan?"
"Nope…I found out that your brother is…well…"
"What?"
"Taken."
"Taken?"
"Yes, like you are taken by me…He's taken by…someone."
"Say it straight, Yuuri! Who is it?"
"Yozak."
Hearing the name, Wolfram paled. He stood there, motionless. Yuuri got a bit worried and waved his hand in front of Wolfram's face to get a reaction but there was none. He became really worried. He shook Wolfram, trying to make the blond snap back to reality. Well, a few minutes later, Wolfram looked at him and a small smile tugged on his lips. Then, he suddenly dropped to the ground, which scared Yuuri who thought Wolfram fainted, and laughed hilariously. Yuuri didn't understand but he started to laugh along. It was a bit funny. After finish laughing, Wolfram turned serious, making Yuuri gulp.
"So, what now?"
"Um…I think we should tell him the truth. It's the easiest way, Wolf!"
"I can't bear to see him heartbroken!"
"But, can you see him live a life of fake love?"
That question stunned Wolfram. What was worse? Living a life of fake love…or being rejected? Wolfram sighed. He knew Yuuri had won this round. He gave up and nodded, receiving a smile from Yuuri. As they approached the picnic site, Yuuri held Wolfram's hand and whispered.
"Don't worry. I'll be there for you," and he let go.
