A day later, Yuuri received a ball invitation to Caloria and for three guests. It was their big party of the year. And seeing as Yuuri and Flurin were friends it wasn't anything new. So as people, mainly Gunter and Wolfram, were arguing others were planning the security detail. Gwendal was suggesting one of troops plus Conrad and Yori. While Yuuri was saying all he needed was Conrad and Yori.

"Are you forgetting something Wimp?" Wolfram yelled.

Looking between Conrad and Wolfram, "Um no?"

"So you aren't even going to ask me to go?" Raged Wolfram.

"I thought you going was a given? I mean, aren't you my fiancée?"

Blushing, Wolfram murmured, "oh."

Gwendal rubbed his temple; someday Wolfram is going to piss off heika. Sighing, "Anyways, that is not adequate amount to protect Heika."

"Gwendal, if no one is warring with you, and you have Conrad is THEE greatest swordsman (Conrad blushed), you have Wolfram who temper is as volatile as his fire, and me whose magic works everywhere and an accomplished swordsman, nowhere near Conrad-"

"Almost though" muttered Conrad.

Ignoring Conrad, Yori continued, "So I think we can manage, plus I can't imagine going anywhere with Yozak tagging along, thinking that he has to save us."

Coming through the window, Yozak greeted them and turned to Yori, "How do you and that annoying blond git know where I am there?"

"Git?" Questioned Gwendal, "No wait it's another of Yori's words. He is rubbing off on all of you."

"Anyways" Yozak said while rolling his eyes.

"That my well, our secret to tell," he said with smirk. "You know I think you should meet Severus. Since the war is over he has been complaining that his skills are getting rusty. Plus he thinks that I always need saving since I'm an insufferable Gryffindor."

Eyes laughing, Yozak countered, "Well if you are anything like Yuuri than that statement can't be far off."

"Yozak!" Yuuri whined.

"Enough! Fine! As long as Conrad, Yozak, Yori, and Wolfram accompany you, I will allow it. Even though I want a squad to go as well." Gwendal could feel a headache coming on. Gunter saw Gwendal rubbing his temple and knew the telltale sign. Perhaps a little massage would help.

Two days before they leave for Caloria…

Fidgeting was always a sign that Yori needed something, but nervous to ask. Smiling at him, Conrad decided to help him out.

"Did you need something Yori?"

Startled out of his rambling thoughts, he looked at Conrad, "Um Ican'tdance."

Conrad stared. Yori could do all of those amazing things but yet he couldn't dance, just like he couldn't throw.

"Its easy to learn, love. I can teach you."

"I've tried to learn, believe me, Draco has tried multiple times. I just can't." Eyes downcast.

Tilting his head up, Conrad looked into Yori's green eyes and said, "But I haven't tried and sometimes you a different teacher." Leaning closer his peck Yori had the lips and grabbed his hand placing it on his shoulder and taking his other hand in his own. Pulling back he took a step forward forcing Yori to step back. Taking another step forward forcing him to react. He continued stepping forward and guiding them into circle by leading with their joint hands, til Yori started to anticipate the next step.

"That's it Yori. It's like when we do our practice duels. Anticipating each moves creating a flawless routine. It's the same with dancing."

Hearing Conrad tell him that he could see the logic in it, and found a rhythm. Gathering his courage, he started to lead Conrad around the room. He could this, as long as it Conrad. He also knew that if they danced all of the songs together, especially the first and last, that he was declaring and showing that Conrad was his. Grinning he liked that idea, and if this thing was as big as Yuuri was saying it was then it was the perfect opportunity.

Seeing Yori grin like that new he was up to something. Deciding that he wanted to know beforehand in case it involved him, he asked, "What has you grinning like that?"

"Oh nothing much, just be prepared to say no to everybody but me."

Conrad was shocked, he should really stop being shocked by Yori though. He knew that Yori and him were dating but he didn't think that Yori would declare their relationship out in public though. The love he already felt for him grow. He was truly lucky.

Departing Day…

"Do I have to wear the wig and glasses Conrad?" Yuuri complained.

"Yes Yuuri you do, unless Yori has a trick up his sleeve," Conrad stated while glancing at his boyfriend over by his horse, but the glance turned into a stare as Yori was dressed tan leather breaches that showed off his amazing backside and a sleeveless shirt allowing people to see his long lean muscles with his black haired tied back with two black bands on his wrist. Damn he looked good.

"Conrad you're staring," Yuuri staged whispered.

"Its alright Yuuri, I'm his boyfriend he can stare all he want, as long as I get to return the favor." Yori said walking over to them. "We ready to get this show on the road?"

Blushing slightly, Conrad answered, "Not until Yuuri is in disguise, but he doesn't want to wear the wig and glasses."

"Not a problem. In fact I could glamour us all if you want?"

"It would make easier traveling if people didn't recognize us."

"Alrighty then. Lets see." Looking to Yuuri he changed his hair to dirty blonde and made his eyes a light brown and changed his nose a bit. Turning towards Wolfram he made his eyes blue and grew his hair out and gave him higher cheekbones, 'mwahaha now he looks like a girl, mwahahaha' Yori silently mused. Finally looking at Conrad, he really didn't want to change Conrad loved the way he looked. Deciding that he would just change grow his hair a bit just to make him look more rugged and darken his hair a bit. For his self he just lightened his hair color to a med brown.

"Done!"

When they looked at each other, Yuuri had hearts in his when he looked at Wolfram. He was already admitting that he was in love with the blonde but wow, now he was in lust, he frown suddenly the eyes weren't right. But he guessed that was the point. Looking at Conrad, he was amused that changing his hair seriously made him more handsome. Wondering what he looked like he asked Wolfram.

"So Wolf what do I look like?"

"Not like my wimp. But you look alright." Turning towards Yori, he asked, "How come Conrad doesn't really look any different?"

"Because I just couldn't bear to change his looks, I love the way he normally looks."

Blushing again, Conrad cleared his throat asked, "Are we ready to leave yet?" Getting various nods, he ushered Yuuri and Wolfram into the carriage. They were going to ride to the edge of Shin Makoku, then they were taking a ship the rest of the way there. Once they were situated, Conrad and Yori mounted their horse and they started their journey.

Half way there, Conrad asked Yori a question, "Seriously why didn't you change my looks more? You could have changed it fit whatever he thought looked good"

Lifting his eyebrow at Conrad's question he said, "Why would I change something that is already sexy as hell? Although the longer hair does make you appear more rugged. But seriously you are sexy just the way you are."

Blushing once again, he changed topics, "So I noticed that Wolfram looks like a girl."

Laughing, he said, "Yeah , I thought it would a perfect joke on Wolfie. Especially since I was the one to convince mama to buy what she did for him. Hahaha."

Shaking his head Conrad just smiled and they continued on their way.

Riding on a boat with Wolfram was not fun. He was such a grouch. So he made Yuuri keep Wolfie locked in their room. Grinning he made his way to his boyfriend. He wished there was a better way to propose to him. Slapping just didn't seem right, but it was their custom. Sighing, maybe he was being to rash about it, but it just feels right with Conrad. They click. There wasn't anything missing like there was with Draco. Shaking his head, he knew that he wasn't going to do anything till he has a ring first.

Spying his love up near the front of the ship, he made his way there. Stepping up behind Conrad he wrapped his arms around him, and pulled him back to his chest. Resting his chin on Conrad's shoulder looking up where Conrad was looking and saw nothing but the vast sky with its bright stars.

Conrad had watching the night sky when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him and pulling him towards a chest. Leaning against Yori was probably one of his favorite things to do besides having Yori in his arms. It was amazing how Yori could make him feel protected and loved as well bringing forth his own protective side and love at the same time. He wished that this would never end.

Standing there Conrad couldn't of anything better. Except maybe…

"I love you Conrad." Yori whispered into his ear.

'Yep that made it better…wait did Yori really say that?' Conrad stood up and turned around.

Gazing into Yori's eyes knew that it was truth, they were shining with it. Speechless he could do nothing but lean in and kiss him. When he pulled back, he knew that he had tears sliding down his cheeks, since Yori's thumbs were wiping them away. "I love you too" he whispered back before continuing their kiss.

AN- So sometimes I feel like I make Conrad too OC. But then I think that this is Conrad with someone that he feels comfortable with and doesn't have to hide. In the series I always thought that Conrad was way too good with his masks, and that he wasn't completely over everything that had happened.

Oh also, that was the first time actually saying "I love you" other times "love" was used as a pet name.
