Author's Notes: Hey guys, thanks for reviewing. Haha…and one of you said you even like yaoi. I blush. I'm not really good at doing yaoi. Haha…that attempt was for try-outs only. I don't really know how to get the 'details' right, if you know what I mean. Yaaah! But I'll try my best. Sorry if I get the 'details' wrongly…But it might not be in this chappie. Okay, back to the show…er…I mean the story. Okay, I know…'L' for 'Lame'…back to the story…
Wolfram approached Elemunt. He took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. Yeah, he says he'll be there for me when all he's doing is hiding behind a tree A true wimp. Yuuri couldn't help but to sneeze a little. Someone must be talking about him. Wolfram saw Elemunt smiling at him and Wolfram's courage to Elemunt just melted away. He just can't do it. He just can't hurt Elemunt, his friend, his comrade…his ex-lover. Wolfram smiled back, slowing his pace. Elemunt stood up and raced towards Wolfram and pulled him without reasoning first. All Wolfram could do was gapped. What in the world was Elemunt doing?
Elemunt pulled Wolfram behind a few trees from their picnic site. Wolfram was about to opened his mouth to demand why Elemunt had pulled him all of a sudden when Elemunt hushed Wolfram by placing his index finger on Wolfram's lips. He pointed towards the bottom of a huge tree. Wolfram's eyes widen. Beautiful Wolfram…no, he wasn't praising himself, it was the flower his mother had planted back at the castle. What…No, how could it have grown here. The flowers are only found back at the castle.
"Elemunt…what is this?" Wolfram asked, totally forgetting about Yuuri and the talked he wanted to give Elemunt.
"Beautiful Wolfram."
"I know that, I mean what is it doing here?"
"I planted them here, silly. Don't you remember?"
"Remember…?"
"You're mean. I've only been gone for ten years and you've forgotten our promise."
"Promise?" Wolfram tried to recall.
"You and I would go here again, under this tree, one day and I would have a big surprise for you. Remember?"
"Oh, that promise. So, this is your big surprise for me?"
"Yeah…you don't like it? You used to like a lot last time..."
"No! That's not what I meant. What I meant was…you shouldn't have. It's really sweet of you," Wolfram smiled a little. He really feels different now. Mixed emotions swam around his tiny little heart.
"I want to. I wanted to show you how deep my love is for you. But I'm sorry it took me ten years to give this to you."
"I don't mind…" What was this feeling? His heart is pounding very hard.
"Wolfram…," Elemunt reached for Wolfram's waist, pulling the blond boy closer to him.
"Elemunt…stop…I can't…"
Before Wolfram could finish, Elemunt pressed his lips against Wolfram's. Wolfram, feeling a bit lost, did whatever his mind ordered his body to do unconsciously. He encircled his arms around Elemunt's neck and kissed back. Yuuri came around the corner and saw them kissing. He stopped in his tracks. What…in the world? He was rooted to the ground. His mind was screaming 'leave my fiancé alone!' but none of it managed to get out. He just couldn't do anything. He was very stunned by the scene. Then, he saw something he would he never thought of seeing from Elemunt.
He could briefly see the smug on Elemunt face. From the side, Elemunt pulled out a knife and aimed to thrust it from Wolfram's back. Yuuri did the first thing he could think of.
"WOLFRAM!"
Wolfram pushed Elemunt away, causing his knife to be thrown to the side. Elemunt cursed softly. Yuuri ran towards them. Elemunt quickly took his knife and without looking, he thrust Wolfram. But, the voice that cried in pain was different. He looked closely and saw he had just stabbed Yuuri, and not Wolfram. Yuuri had his back face him and his arms holding out, trying to protect Wolfram. Yuuri fell forward, into a shocked Wolfram's arms. Wolfram fell on his knees slowly, Yuuri still in his arms.
"Yu-Yuuri…?"
"Wol-Wolfram…are you…alrig-!" Yuuri gasped for air, as the pain really sting.
"Yuuri…shh…don't speak. We got to save your energy. We need to get out of here."
Then, Konrad came running. Seeing the condition, Konrad inspect Yuuri. Elemunt was completely forgotten. Konrad told Wolfram that it may have hit Yuuri's vital point and they needed to get Yuuri to Gisela fast. Konrad carried Yuuri, Wolfram following behind. They were stopped by a familiar voice.
"Hey!"
"What now, Elemunt?" Wolfram's voice was colder than it was usually.
"Don't you dare forget about me! Come back here, Von Bielefeld!"
"I don't have time for you! Yuuri is injured!"
Wolfram continued walking. Konrad was already on the horse with Yuuri. Suddenly, a knife went flying by Wolfram, slicing a small cut into Wolfram's cheek. Blood oozed out.
"WOLFRAM!" shouted Konrad.
"Wel-Brother, go now. I'll handle him," Wolfram last word could even send shivers down Gwendel's back.
"But-!"
"Go! Now! Yuuri needs to be save. Without the wimp, this country won't survive."
Konrad knew Wolfram meant well. He nodded and rode off on the horse with an unconscious Yuuri. Wolfram turned, facing Elemunt, with eyes filled with anger and rage and even…hurt.
"Elemunt, why? WHY DO YOU DO THAT?' Wolfram didn't even realize he was shouting.
"Why? Why? Because of your father…my parents died!"
"W-What…?"
"My father was a Mazoku, while my mother was a human. She came down with a bad disease and your father had the power to cure any disease. But, he ignored my father pleads to cure my mother and soon she died! My father couldn't stand it, thinking it was his entire fault that he killed himself! I had a hard time going through life as a child. I promised that I'll kill anyone that bears the blood of Von Bielefeld!"
"…I'm…sorry…"
"Sorry? Sorry? Do you think a simple sorry is enough to bring them back? To change my past?" Elemunt asked Wolfram sharply.
Wolfram didn't answer but instead looked at the ground. He never knew his father and heard stories about him. People saying he was an evil man, going after beautiful girls. Wolfram was always being compared to his father. Saying that he'll one day become like his father. There was one time he couldn't take it that he trained himself in the rain and eventually got himself a very high fever.
Elemunt charged after him and yet he didn't move. The sword went pass his cheeks, again. Elemunt was surprised. Why isn't he fighting back? Elemunt straightened himself when he heard soft sobs. He looked at Wolfram, whom shoulders shook uncontrollably. Tears were rolling down his cheeks, but Elemunt couldn't see the blond boy's face. This was the first time he saw Wolfram cry. The boy had been so stuck-up all those years he spent with him. Wolfram suddenly fell to the ground, hands covering his face.
"E-even though I don't know my father…I'm sorry on his behalf."
"W-what…?"
"I know what my father did was wrong, but…m-maybe…he had a good reason."
"Don't try to cover up for him!"
"I'm not…I'm just…"
Before Wolfram could finish his sentence, Elemunt gasped. He saw the Mazoku troops coming towards them, at great speed. His guess, to pick up Wolfram. He could have easily attacked and kill the boy, yet, he let it pass and ran, cursing softly under his breath. Wolfram was still on his knees, hands still covering his face. Gwendel approached him. Gwendel was also taken aback. Never in his life had he seen his brother so helpless. He shook the boy, yet he didn't move. Soon, he just had to carry his brother, who fainted unconsciously while he was crying.
Yuuri's eyes opened slowly, getting blurry image. He blinked twice and finally he could see who was beside him. Gunter. He slowly got up, only to receive pain and Gunter pushed him down.
"Don't move, Heika. You've hurt yourself."
"Now you tell me…," mumbled Yuuri.
Yuuri scanned the room. The room was dimly lighted. Outside the window, the sky was gay and lightning could be seen. It was raining. HE was about to close his eyes again, trying to rest, when all of a sudden, he remembered Wolfram. He got up and turned his attention to Gunter.
"Where's Wolfram?"
"Oh, he's resting in his room."
"What? He was injured? That no good…-!"
"No, Heika. Wolfram just got a bit…tired."
"Was he injured anywhere?"
"Apart from the small cut on his cheeks, his fine."
"That bastard…-!"
"Heika, you must rest. Your body might not be able to handle the pain."
Yuuri nodded and lay back down. He was glad nothing bad happened to Wolfram.
Konrad entered the room. He saw Wolfram leaning against the bed frame, looking down. Konrad sighed. Wolfram was really broken now.
"Wolfram?" he started.
No response.
"Wolfram, are you okay?"
"Yeah…"
"Wolfram, I think you should eat something. You haven't eaten anything since you woke up."
"Not hungry."
"But-!"
"Was my father a bad person?"
"What?"
"Damn you, Weller-kyo! Don't make me repeat," Wolfram said, looking straight at Konrad.
"I'm sorry. I thought I heard you wrongly."
"So, was he?"
"How should I put it?'
"Anyway you want! As long as I get to know about my father."
"Well, your father was the type of…hrm…," Konrad scratched his chin.
"Tell me everything about him…I want to know every single bit of detail about him."
"He was a very proud man when he married Mother. He use his powers, as in the royalty power, to boss people around. You can say he took his post a bit way above his head."
"And?'
"And, he…well," Konrad didn't know how to tell Wolfram. The man was such a disgrace.
"Was he…someone who had a lot of relationships?"
Konrad couldn't lie. He nodded sadly. He knew everything that had happen to Wolfram when he was younger. People compared his little brother to that perverted man. Wolfram was nowhere near that man. Wolfram was someone proud. Once he has something, he'll never abandoned it or leave it afterwards. Wolfram would always stand by Yuuri's side no matter what, not like Von Bielefeld. That guy would always leave the girl he had relation with after her innocence was taken away.
Both kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Wolfram was in deep thought though. He was thinking that maybe one day, he'll turn just like the man his father was. He didn't want to become what his father was. He wanted to stay true to whoever might be his one. But how could he? He did it just now. He has Yuuri already yet he still had feelings for Elemunt. He's just as bad as his father was. He clenched his blanket. Tears were threatening to fall. He felt as if he betrayed Yuuri. He was always accusing Yuuri about cheating on him, and now, he was the one cheating on Yuuri.
"Wolfram…?" Konrad's voice was filled with concern.
"Brother…"
"Y-Yes?" Konrad was shocked. Did Wolfram just called him 'brother'?
"I'm not worthy of Yuuri…"
"What?"
"I betrayed him. I have become like my father."
"Wolfram…!"
"Even though I had Yuuri…I still had feelings for Elemunt. I have become my father!"
The sound of thunder clashed with the sound of a slap. Wolfram had just been slapped by Konrad. Konrad had just slapped Wolfram. Never in his entire life had he slap his little brother. Wolfram held his cheeks and looked at Konrad with questioning eyes.
"Don't you ever say that! I know my brother well enough to know that he isn't like his idiotic father!"
"But-!"
"Your father was a sorry excuse for a living being! You are not like him! Those feelings were just confusion! You never betrayed Yuuri. Sometimes, we just feel a bit confuse about what we are feeling. That doesn't mean you are cheating on him," Konrad tone softened a bit at the end.
"But, why do I feel like I did betray him?"
"It's a common thing," Konrad sat beside his brother and hugged him. Amazingly, Wolfram did not protest or push him away.
Wolfram couldn't stand it. He just had to cry. He didn't care what his brother would think anymore. These emotions are too much too handle. He was having a breakdown.
