The next couple of days were pure hell for Yuuri. Not only was it awkward to be around Conrad after that night he followed him but what bothered him most was his reaction to Conrad. Every time Yuuri saw him, he'd recalled the expression on his face when he pushed that boy down and screwed him hard. How he had called out Yuuri's name in those final moments of pleasure. With those thought in mind, Yuuri would get hard and try his best to avoid Conrad.

Josak knew what Yuuri had seen. They had spoken while he had escorted Yuuri home. Well, more along the lines of Josak speaking as Yuuri sat there, hot and bothered. Yuuri couldn't recall what they spoke about though.

"So I'm guessing you found the captain?" Josak asked days later, watching the night slowly turn to morning. Yuuri, still shocked, nodded. "So what are you going to do about it?"

Yuuri looked at him. "W-what? What do you mean what am I going to do about it? I don't know how to handle this. This has never happened to me before."

Josak started to laugh. "Never happened before? You're engaged to a man who sleeps in your bed every night. You have been hit on by men. You're not so oblivious that you failed to notice that almost every person in this kingdom, including the men, is in love with you at this point. You are a great guy, Yuuri. You're handsome, kind, loyal to the point of stupidity and brave. It's no wonder you have so many fans."

"You're not in love with me too, are you, Josak?" Yuuri asked, scared that he might be pushed down by this hulking man before him.

Again, Josak laughed at him. "Me? Nah. I love ya, your majesty, but I'm not into little kids like you self." He teased, ruffling up Yuuri's hair. Josak got up as Yuuri fixed his hair. They had been sitting outside in the garden, watching the sky turn form deep black to the colors of the rising sun.

"Your majesty?" Josak said his back still turned. Yuuri looked up at the tall man. His face was dead serious. "Whatever you decide to do, I ask one thing of you."

"What is it, Josak?" Yuuri asked getting up too. Josak stayed quiet for a little while, looking off in some other direction. Then he spoke.

"Just… just don't hurt him, your majesty. He loves you. He has for a long time, probably back from before you came to the demon kingdom. The only reason he goes to those places is because he's worried that you will reject him. He uses those boys out there because they remind him of you in some way. Your hair, your eyes, your mannerism, he uses anything he can so that when he sees you in the morning, he can truly smile." Josak looked at him, his eyes near anger. "Don't. Hurt. My. Friend."

Yuuri was about to say he wouldn't do that. That he sort of understood what Conrad was doing. That he didn't care for Conrad in that way. But those were all lies. Yuuri knew it and could not say these words before the man left in his mysterious ways. Yuuri briefly thought about asking Josak if he could teach him that flash step kind of move he did.

"Your majesty?" Someone called out. Yuuri turned to see Conrad standing on the second floor outdoor hall, smiling down at him. His short brown hair waved in the wind and his smile was as bright as ever. "What are you doing up so early, your majesty?"

Yuuri didn't speak at first. That's when he saw Conrad's hurt face. Yuuri had been ignoring him and avoiding him for days. Since Conrad cared more about Yuuri than he did about himself, one could imagine the pain he was going through. Yuuri, however, never thought of that. He was the kind of guy to think of others but forsaken Conrad. Yuuri couldn't say why he was avoiding him or risk getting in trouble, so he did the next best thing.

"Morning, Conrad!" He shouted with a broad smile. "I was just a little restless, so l went out for some fresh air." Even with his smile in place, Yuuri didn't fail to notice how Conrad gaze drifted over his body. Nor did he miss the lust that had always been there but went unnoticed.

"That's good to know, your majesty." Conrad said with a content grin. IT was after Conrad had walked away that Yuuri realized that, despite his previous words, He did love Conrad. Most likely the same way Wolfram loved him. With his heart set, Yuuri went about planning.

But he would definitely need some help.
