A/N::: Well, well guys. It's chapter 25.

NOTE: The below comment on Football is not meant to be taken as an insult! I apologize if anyone takes offense. This is just my little joke on football.

"Your worrying Conrad! Quit threatening my life!" Yuuri fumed at the apathetic looking boy called Blood, not that the boy was listening well.

"I mean you no harm."

"I know that. You know that." Yuuri was calm, keeping his voice level, though at Blood's expression of annoyance, Yuuri spoke up. "BUT CONRAD DOESN'T KNOW THAT!" Yuuri wasn't mad, just fed up with Blood toying with people. Was there a reason for it? The guy had been acting so strangely lately.

Yuuri watched Blood for a moment.

Said boy was sitting on the window seat in Yuuri's room within Blood Pledge Castle. Just gazing out the window. He looked tired. He looked drained. And Yuuri was worried.

"Blood…are you alright? You look…weaker."

The boy didn't answer. He didn't want Yuuri to worry, but the king was anyway.

"I am fine." for now…

"Blood! I can help you!" Yuuri had caught the thought. He placed a hand on Blood's shoulder, trying to turn the boy to look at him.

Blood did look at him. But his expression wasn't kind. He looked angry.

"Blood…" Yuuri winced. "That's hurts…" Blood's hand gripped Yuuri's wrist tightly.

"You cannot help."

Blood was gone in the next moment.

Rubbing his wrist, Yuuri allowed himself to sit on the floor. Staring at where Blood had just been. "I can't help…" Yuuri murmured to himself softly, gaze dropping to his wrist. "I could at least try…" He spoke up a bit. "You could at least let me try!"

Wolfram followed Greta as she babbled about many different random things. He listened absently. They were headed to his and Yuuri's room.

Greta had been wanting to play catch and Wolfram still believed the whole tossing a ball back and forth and hitting it with a stick was pointless, but that didn't mean he would stop Yuuri or Greta from playing the game just because he wouldn't.

"It really is fun! You should play too!" Wolfram broke from his thoughts to look at his daughter. She had a hold on his hand, leaning her body back a bit with a large smile that looked to much like Yuuri's on her face.

Smiling, he shook his head. "No chance."

Greta rolled her eyes yet the smile never fell. "I'll get you to play someday! Just wait!" With that, Greta skipped ahead of him.

He watched her for a moment before following. He found himself slightly worried at her statement considering she'd follow though with trying to get him to like baseball.

Wolfram did admit. Compared to all the other sports Yuuri had shown him and talked about; baseball was the best.

Soccer was odd. Kicking a ball around and into a net. No hands. Other people trying to trip you for said ball.

Basketball was just as strange. Another game with a net. What was the point of throwing something into a net if it was just going to fall out of the bottom?

Volleyball. Another damn net. Yet the overall game sounded less than fun. Tossing it back and forth and trying to hit the ground.

Football seemed stupid. Tons of sweaty guys in tight pants running around with tons of other sweaty guys and then they all pile onto each other for a ball?

Wolfram laughed softly at the memory of Yuuri pointing out all of these and Wolfram telling Yuuri what was wrong with them.

Yuuri had told him that his reasoning for football was making it sound as if only gay men played. Which was untrue. Wolfram hadn't meant any harm by it, it just seemed strange to him.

Baseball was also strange. Throwing a ball just for someone to hit it with a stick to have it fly away from where anyone could reach it to run around in a circle and fall to the dirt to get to a white plate on said dirt…

Wolfram shook his head. Human's were strange and nothing would change that.

Opening the door to the bedroom; Greta still babbling, they noticed Yuuri sitting on the floor.

"Yuuri?" Wolfram wasn't really calling to the double black. Said boy looked over to him. Yuuri looked mad, hurt, and frustrated tears welled in his eyes.

Wolfram placed a hand on Greta's shoulder, she nodded with a quick glance at her father on the floor and left the room.

Shutting the door, the blonde leaned against it for a moment. Taking in the sight before him.

Yuuri felt like his head was being stepped on, headache's were his worst enemy. Why did he have one now of all times?

Pulling Yuuri close, Wolfram said nothing. Shutting his eyes, Yuuri just wanted to cuddle up to Wolfram and forget the world.

Yuuri stood in front of the large four poster bed with nothing but a large fluffy white towel covering his damp body.

Shifting slowly, he sat himself on the sheets. The bath had helped him calm down. The steam relaxed him, just as Wolfram had said it would.

Not that Yuuri would ever admit that Wolfram was right. Yuuri already admitted to the blonde he loved him, he refused to let the blonde know he was right about yet another thing.

A smile touched his lips for a moment before the thought of Blood reentered his mind. The smile faded into a slight frown.

What had happened a few hours before hadn't really been a fight. It had just been Yuuri telling Blood to straighten up and act less of a guy with some weird-ass god-complex.

Blood was acting so off lately Yuuri couldn't tell what was happening and Conrad seemed worried. He knew Blood wouldn't hurt him but Yuuri also wanted to help the other but knew he couldn't because Blood wouldn't tell him anything.

"Something has to be off." for him to act so strange…

Unsure of how safe being on his stomach would be for Micah, Yuuri lay on his back and turned on his side; eyes dazed in thought of how he would confront the spiky-haired-teen-alter-ego-of-himself-who-used-to-be-Soushu.

Yuuri stayed like that for a good five minutes before pushing himself back up and reaching for the glass of water next to the bed. He hated feeling useless. Hated it.

Compared to the heat of his body, the water was cool. Setting, thumping, the cup back to the table, the double black pushed the glass away. He turned back to the bed, laying on his side quickly before hiding his face in the sheets.

Not now. Why now? Damn it!

Yuuri could still taste it. The taste that was clearly not water.

He knew he had been wanting Wolfram for that past week or two. How could he not? But due to him thinking he was a burden to the blonde he had done his damn well best to stay away from him. And now his choice was coming back to bite him.

He squirmed slightly as his body heated. He didn't want this now. Not when he wanted to help a friend, who needed the help.

Why. Why. Why?

Yuuri chanted gently in his own mind. Squeezing his eyes shut, willing his craving to go away.

"Why?" Damn it. Willing it wasn't working.

Yuuri shifted, hugging himself.

"Why what?" Yuuri stilled. His entire body reacted though. He knew that bratty tone.

"I'm fine Wolfram." His voice muffled by the sheets; which he was thankful for. His voice felt raw already.

Wolfram noticed the change. Noticed how Yuuri wouldn't look at him; and even though the boy thought he hid his face well, Wolfram could see the light pink that dusted Yuuri's face.

Wolfram watched the boy peek an eye open from the sheets. Yuuri blushed harder and hid his face anew.

The blonde prince smirked; watching the double black curl in on himself as he pulled the towel, hiding his body, closer to himself.

Yuuri shivered slightly.

He could feel Wolfram watching him. That was half the reason why he pulled the towel closer to his already naked body. In the back of his mind, he knew that if Wolfram decided to take him, he wouldn't resist much and the towel around him wouldn't keep the blonde from doing as he pleased.

A/N::: This chapter is short and I left you guys a cliff hanger; Sorry about that.
