Covering the Bases
Part Twenty-Two - Down the First Baseline
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes* "I just finished telling you nearly my whole life's story. The least you could do is tell me a little bit about yourself."
Hale - "I don't like sweets."
Wolfram - "Why not?"
Hale - *shrugs*
Wolfram - *huffs* "What else?"
Hale - "What else did you want to know?"
Wolfram - *huffs again* "What's your family like? Why do you travel around like this? Do you have a boyfriend? Girlfriend? Fiancé? What makes you so quiet all the time?"
Hale - *sighs lightly, but still isn't really bothered by the questions, just the talking* "Jade and I our fathers’ only children. One of our fathers came from noble lineage, but chose to live as a commoner after getting married. We travel around because it is the only way to reach farther, larger towns and villages. I do not have any interest in anyone at the moment. It is easier to be quiet than make pointless chitchat."
Wolfram - *cocks his head to the side, a little surprised that he'd actually gotten all of that out of him/inwardly cackles in victory* "You think this is pointless chitchat?"
Hale - *shrugs* "Whatever you wish."
Wolfram - "I wish you'd speak up more. This trip is going to be boring without anyone to talk to. I don't like being bored." *still joking around more than he's being serious/the boy was frustrating, and more than a little annoying, but sort of intriguing at the same time/his quiet, sort of blank attitude made him interesting in some way*
Hale - *shrugs again* "You are surrounded by entertainers. I doubt you will be bored."
Wolfram - "Doesn't being quiet all of the time make you bored?"
Hale - "No."
Wolfram - "Doesn't it get lonely?"
Hale - "No."
Wolfram - "Do you think I'm cute?" *yeah, random, he knows, but, hey, there wasn't any harm in it*
Hale - "To answer honestly, yes."
Wolfram - *even more intrigued/raises an eyebrow* "How so?"
Hale - *shrugs*
Wolfram - *fakes a pout/it's not like he really cares... though for some reason he can't help but continue goading him* "What makes me cute?"
Hale - "You do not make a very good commoner."
Wolfram - *grumbles* "It's not like that's my fault." *glares at him a bit* "And how the hell does that make me 'cute?'"
Hale - *shrugs*
Wolfram - "Would you answer my question?"
Hale - "Just... don't try to act more than you have to."
Yuuri - *snorts lightly*
Wolfram - "I'm not acting. I'm trying to hold a decent conversation with you."
Hale - *shrugs again*
Wolfram - "You're not making it very easy."
Hale - "I apologize."
Wolfram - "You don't mean that. I bet you're secretly laughing at me inside."
Hale - *raises an eyebrow at him* "Try not spending all your money on that bet."
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes/sarcastic* "Oh, but I've run far away from home. I don't have any money."
Hale - *nods* "You're right. Forgive me."
Wolfram - *sputters again* "Could you at least try and pretend like you're interested? I know talking to people is hard for you, but it's really difficult to converse when you answer with such short sentences."
Hale - *nods once more* "Again, I apologize."
Wolfram - *growls* "Please?"
Hale - *lets out a small sigh/what was he supposed to say anyway??*
Wolfram - *frowns some more, then huffs again*
Jade - *falls back to check on everything/still glancing cautiously around the sides of the road, but smiling as warmly as ever* "I pray everything is going well?"
Yuuri - *grumbles lightly about being completely ignored by his fiancé*
Hale - *doesn't say anything*
Wolfram - *a little miffed* "No, everything is not going well."
Jade - *smiling at him* "Attempting to engage my brother in conversation?"
Hale - *rolls his eyes*
Wolfram - "He's annoying."
Jade - *laughs a light little laugh* "Yes, I have been made aware of that criticism before. I do apologize, nevertheless in his defense, he makes far superior company once you get to know him."
Wolfram - "I don't see how the hell I'm supposed to get to know him when he hardly says anything."
Jade - *continues to smile at him* "I believe there are ample ways to empathize with another, none which involve conversing.”
Wolfram - *instinctively crosses his arms again, but immediately drops them/grumbles* "Whatever."
Jade - *falls back a bit to whisper lightly to Hale before moving around the back to talk to some other of troupe*
Hale - *rides up a bit closer to the two/still silent*
Yuuri - *still pouting and feeling jealous*
Wolfram - *glares at the boy* "What did she say to you?"
Hale - "She thought she saw tracks in the woods. She wanted us to keep an eye out for anything suspicious."
Wolfram - *doesn't know whether he should be concerned or not* "Bandits?"
Hale - *shrugs* "Possibly."
Wolfram - *scoffs at him/that wasn't very reassuring/stubbornly decides to go back to their previous topic of discussion* "So what else makes me cute? Besides the fact that I don't make a good commoner."
Hale - *raises an eyebrow at him* "George won't get jealous?"
Yuuri - *grumbles*
Wolfram - *waves a hand as if it doesn't matter* "George can suck it up and get over it."
Hale - "You have cute expressions."
Yuuri - *grumbles about how he already told Wolfram that*
Wolfram - *tilts his head/curious/it had been a while since normal people had told him stuff like this, and it was just the slightest bit flattering* "How so?"
Hale - *shrugs* "You pout and glare, but it's not very threatening."
Yuuri - *goes back to pouting*
Wolfram - *also pouts* "Not very threatening? Why not?"
Hale - *shrugs again* "What could you do without good enough reason?"
Wolfram - "A lot."
Hale - "Of course."
Wolfram - *still pouting* "Is there anything else?"
Hale - *another shrug* "You look good in that dress. Which is saying a lot since most.... don't do so well."
Yuuri - *pouts more*
Wolfram - *frowns* "You can thank my mother for that."
Hale - *nods* "I will be sure to give her my regards if ever given the chance."
Wolfram - *snorts rudely* "I highly doubt you'll be given a chance."
Hale - "Understandable."
Wolfram - *switches to glaring* "Don't you ever get angry?"
Hale - "If the need arises, yes."
Wolfram - "Do you ever get annoyed?"
Hale - "Not usually."
Wolfram - "Do you ever show it when you do get angry?"
Hale - "More on the 'no' side."
Wolfram - "Why not?"
Hale - "Waste of energy."
Wolfram - "Well, with the annoyingly mellow way you go about things, it doesn't seem as if you have a lot of energy in the first place."
Hale - *shrugs*
Wolfram - *huffs again/glares at him some more, before looking away and turning his glare onto the passing scenery*
Hale - *goes silent again/watching the woods as well for anything unusual*
Yuuri - *has given up on trying to get any attention from Wolfram*
Wolfram - *he swears he hasn't given up on trying to get a better reaction from the boy/he's just plotting and thinking about what to do and say next.../... actually, he's moping and pouting about failing*
Hale - *kinda relieved for the silence again/stares out at the road in front of them*
Yuuri - *bored*
Wolfram - *bored as well*
Jade - *leads the group a few more hours north before the sky starts to darken/falls back to talk to her brother and the couple/smiling still* "We will be arriving at our destination for the night in a short while. Arrangements for the duration of our stay will be made once we are there. We have performances for most of the next morning, but if I see anything that may threaten you, then we shall be certain to depart earlier."
Yuuri - *glad he could actually go to sleep/still bored and a bit annoyed with being ignored*
Hale - *still following silently*
Wolfram - *doesn't really pay attention to her/continues to mope and pout*
Jade - *nods to her brother before moving back up to the front/leads the group through the gate of the pretty large town and down the still busy main street/flies little paper birds to the children that came out to see them/ instructs a handful of people to take care of horses, some to arrange food time, and others to get rooms set up/falls back to speak to Yuuri and Wolfram again* "Here we are. As long as we all stick together, there will be no reason to feel threatened."
Yuuri - *still pouting but nods to her*
Wolfram - *pretty much ignores her, glaring at nothing in particular/isn't in the mood to talk to anyone anymore*
Jade - *watches them for a bit before dismounting and handing her horse to one of the men with them/smiles up at them still* "We have a room available in one of the local taverns for dinner. If you are ready, we shall make our way there."
Hale - *dismounts as well/moves to stand on the other side of Yuuri and Wolfram's horse, again, just in case*
Wolfram - *huffs/doesn't say anything to anyone/annoyed that his plan of instigation had failed/easily slides off of the horse and waits for Yuuri to do the same*
Yuuri - *gets off as well and allows Hale to take their horses for them*
Jade - *nods and turns to skip gracefully in front of them, leading them down the street towards a little tavern where people from their group were already going in*
Wolfram - *follows after her, staring around at everything/feels a little strange after a moment, and his sense of anxiety increases/he can't pick out anything suspicious about the village or any of it's people, nor can he see anything out of the ordinary, but he suddenly feels as if he's being watched*
Yuuri - *blinks, easily noticing Wolfram's change in attitude/finally whispers to him* "Are you okay?"
Wolfram - *shakes the feeling off and tells himself he's just being paranoid/nods at Yuuri, but doesn't answer him verbally, having fallen into a bit of a funk*
Yuuri - *pouts a little/misses his voice/follows the energetic green haired girl into the tavern towards the back and through a little door for their privacy*
Jade - *smiles at them* "This is so we may avoid requests to perform."
Hale - *follows them in after a short while/trying not to run into anything... or hit his head on anything*
Wolfram - *glances over at the boy when he comes in, thinking it was a miracle he didn't hit his head when he came through the doorway/then quickly shifts his gaze away, still annoyed by him/huffs lightly*
Yuuri - *leads Wolfram to a seat near the back of the room, pulling it out for him and helping him sit down/glances nervously around at the dozen or so other people in the room with them, all of them talking and laughing about who knows what*
Hale - *sits down at the table next to them*
Wolfram - *allows himself to be seated, but says nothing, nor does he look at anyone else/glares down at the table*
Jade - *prances as gracefully as always through the pulled out chairs and oddly placed tables and small crowd of people to sit down at a table on the other side of them, tittering happily with the others*
Yuuri - *blinks as he sort of watches her, then sits down next to Wolfram/leans over to whisper to him* "Does she remind you of a fairy, too? Or is that just me?"
Wolfram - *shrugs, still glaring down at the table*
Yuuri - *pouts, falling silent again*
Wolfram - *glares and fumes and simmers in his annoyance*
Yuuri - *watches him/doesn't know if he did something to make him mad or if it was something else*
Wolfram - *silent*
Yuuri - *silent as well/playing with the cuff of his jacket sleeve*
Hale - *keeps an eye on them, as well as the door, but still silent*
Wolfram - *notices the boy's glances, and looks up to glare at him angrily*
Yuuri - *pouts even more/getting really jealous that he was getting almost no attention from Wolfram*
Jade - *moves over to their table after a little bit/warm smile* "I will be placing orders. What would you like to eat and drink?"
Wolfram - *shrugs, muttering* "I don't want anything."
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "Why? Are you not feeling well? You need to eat something... Or at least drink some--" *pauses, looking up at the girl* "We'll both have water and whatever it is you're getting to eat. Thank you."
Wolfram - *glares up at Yuuri* "I said I don't want anything."
Yuuri - *frowns sadly at him* "You have to eat something..."
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes/even more annoyed now/grumbles* "I don't see why it matters."
Yuuri - *tilts his head at him/confused* "Why do you say that?"
Jade - *decides to leave them alone for a bit and goes to collect orders from everyone else*
Wolfram - "I don't feel like eating."
Yuuri - *blinks at him, then quickly reaches his hand up to feel his forehead*
Wolfram - *glares at him* "I'm not sick! I just don't want to eat!"
Yuuri - *winces, quickly pulling back/stares blankly down at the table* "Sorry...."
Wolfram - *snorts/finally gets tired of not being able to do anything with his arms/instead of crossing them over his chest, he crosses them over the fake belly/looks off to the side*
Yuuri - *feeling awkward and unhelpful/completely misses how the girls that had been with them were staring and giggling at him*
Hale - *rolls his eyes*
Wolfram - *doesn't pay attention to anything else besides his current bad mood*
Jade - *dances in with two glasses of water for Yuuri and Wolfram, placing them on the table before going off again*
Yuuri - *sighs, but takes the water to sip at it*
Hale - *sips at his own water he now had*
Wolfram - *makes no move to pick up his drink*
Yuuri - *watches him/sets his glass down* "What's wrong...?"
Wolfram - *shrugs* "I don't want it."
Yuuri - *sighs again* "Are you sure you're okay?"
Wolfram - *glares at him again* "I'm fine. I just don't want it."
Yuuri - *nods at him after a few moments of silence*
Wolfram - *goes back to staring off to the side and glaring at nothing/really wouldn't mind eating and drinking something, and is just being stubborn*
Yuuri - *watches everyone else enjoy themselves/eventually starts picking at the plate of food Jade had set before him and Wolfram*
Wolfram - *makes no move to eat, either, even if he is a little hungry*
Yuuri - *sighs/frustrated and worried about Wolfram*
Wolfram - *pays no attention to him*
Jade - *comes to sit with them after a while/smiles at them* "How is everything? Do you not like your food? It is one of my favorites."
Hale - *rolls his eyes again/munching on his food*
Wolfram - *doesn't answer her*
Yuuri - *pouts sadly at Wolfram before answering the girl* "It's fine. Thank you."
Jade - *smiles and moves away again to talk to everyone else*
Wolfram - *hardly notices that she was even there, much less that she was gone again*
Yuuri - *watches as people start finishing up and moving out, probably back to the inn/stares down at his half finished plate of now mostly cold food and Wolfram's still full plate*
Hale - *still sitting there*
Wolfram - *still glaring at nothing*
Jade - *comes over to them again/bright as always* "If you are ready, we will go back to the inn to get some rest for the night."
Yuuri - *sighs, but nods and stands up, getting ready to help Wolfram up if he needed help*
Hale - *gets up as well, making sure not to hit anything*
Wolfram - *stands up on his own, though it's a bit difficult with the added weight of the fake stomach/a little surprised that Yuuri hadn't forced him to eat, since the wimp had been making such a big deal about it ever since the topic of a baby had come up/waits for the girl to lead them to the inn*
Yuuri - *still frustrated, but didn't want to push his luck/follows the girl as well*
Jade - *carefully leads them out of the little tavern and down the street to an inn/skips up to the main desk to gather up keys to rooms/turns around to hand one to Hale, who had been following, stuck one in her own pocket, and held out the last two, one in each hand, to Yuuri and Wolfram*
Wolfram - *stares at the keys in her hand/confused*
Jade - *smiles at him* "Your room keys."
Yuuri - *stares at them as well/not really sure what to say*
Wolfram - *glares at her* "We don't need two."
Jade - *smiles at him some more* "You must forgive me, but for appearance’s sake it is a necessity."
Wolfram - *refuses to take either one of the keys*
Yuuri - *sighs and takes them both from her* "Thank you..." *carefully takes Wolfram's hand to lead him to the stairs and up to their rooms*
Hale - *follows behind like usual, having to duck even more from the low ceiling above the stairs*
Wolfram - *doesn't like this at all, but lets Yuuri lead him along*
Yuuri - *doesn't like it either, but can't really argue with the girl since she was just doing it to help them/cringes lightly at the numbers of the keys in his hands/they were several rooms apart*
Wolfram - *remains silent*
Yuuri - *glances down at him, not really wanting to leave him by himself/carefully takes the key to the first room and opens the door/tiny little bedroom with just a bed and tiny little fireplace*
Hale - *silent*
Wolfram - *finally huffs again and glares at Yuuri, not even bothering to take the time to look around the tiny room/holds one of his hands out* "Give me the other key."
Yuuri - *frowns at him/really not liking the idea of sleeping in different rooms, but reluctantly holds out the other key to him*
Wolfram - *snatches it away from him, and stomps down the hall to find the other room without saying another word*
Yuuri - *frowns sadly, watching him, but eventually turns to go into his own room, sitting down on the bed and not even bothering to shut the door*
Wolfram - *finds his room/unlocks the door/glares at how tiny the room is/goes in and slams the door behind him/then turns to lock it*
Hale - *cautiously followed Wolfram down the hall to his own room*
Jade - *wanders up after a while/peers curiously in at Yuuri before moving to her room across the hall*
Wolfram - *doesn't even remove the dress, the wig, the bonnet, or any of the padding/simply drops himself onto the tiny, uncomfortable bed and glares at the wall*
Yuuri - *feeling very uneasy about being away from Wolfram/fiddles nervously with the sheets on the bed/curses himself for not being able to remember what number Wolfram's room was*
Wolfram - *tosses and turns for a while, or as best as he can with a huge stomach getting in the way*
Yuuri - *leans up against the wall, not even bothering to lay down, though he does take off his shoes to throw at the door to make it shut without him having to get up*
Wolfram - *glares at the wall some more, then at the fire place, then at the wall again/finally turns onto his back to glare at the ceiling, but the weight of the fake stomach against his real one starts to bother him, so he rolls back onto his side and glares at the door instead*
Yuuri - *gets up to pace some, still fighting with himself on what to do/wondering if Wolfram was already asleep*
Wolfram - *after continuing his glaring routine and being unable to get to sleep after an hour or two, he sits up on the bed/sighs to himself, slowly standing to his feet/crosses the room and cautiously opens his door an inch or so, peering out into the hallway to make sure no one was other there*
Yuuri - *eventually takes off most of his costume, tossing the hat, wig, jacket, glasses, gloves, etc, onto the floor at the end of the bed/leaves his shirt and pants on, though, and lays back onto the bed, only to stare blankly at the ceiling/trying to prepare himself for a very, very long night*
Wolfram - *doesn't see anyone out in the hallway, but takes his time coming out of the room regardless/the door starts to creak as he opens it some more, so he stops and manages to squeeze out without it even being opened halfway - which makes him wish he'd taken off the dumb costume beforehand, although he figures if he does get caught, he'd rather do so with the costume on/closes his door softly behind him, then starts to tiptoe back down the hall*
Yuuri - *lets out a really long sigh/gets up, snatching the stupid wig to cover his stupid hair and shoves it on, not really even taking the time to make sure all the black was completely covered/takes the step to the door, pulling it open and out into the hall/he was going to find that brat's room if it killed him*
Wolfram - *freezes in his tracks when he hears another door opening/immediately holds his breath as if waiting for something bad to happen/he swore, if it was either of the twins coming to thwart his plans, there would be hell to pay/he wouldn't care if it woke up the entire establishment - he'd throw a fit!*
Yuuri - *prepares to storm, hopefully very quietly, down the hall, only to stop dead in his tracks seeing Wolfram/blinks at him, confused, wondering if he had actually fallen asleep and was just dreaming/cautiously whispers* "Wolf...?"
Wolfram - *looks up quickly, and is extremely relieved to see Yuuri standing there/whispers back* "Yuuri...?"
Yuuri - *lets out a sigh of relief, then quickly glances around before taking a step back and motioning for him to hurry up and get in his room, preferably before they got caught*
Wolfram - *quickly glances around as well before tiptoeing the rest of the way down the hall, sliding quietly into Yuuri's tiny room*
Yuuri - *quickly shuts the door behind them and locks it before practically throwing himself onto Wolfram to hug him, despite the costume he was still wearing*
Wolfram - *squeaks loudly, surprised, but raises his arms to hug him back* "Yuuri...?"
Yuuri - *shakes his head/quietly* "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until morning..."
Wolfram - *snorts, holding onto him tighter* "You think I was actually going to sleep in a tiny little room by myself?"
Yuuri - *laughs lightly* "You're right... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to leave you alone like that..."
Wolfram - "It's doesn't matter." *cuddles closer*
Yuuri - *holds him a bit longer before pulling back some, shaking his head/teasing* "It's no good..."
Wolfram - *looks up at him* "What?"
Yuuri - *grins at him* "Your costume... I don't like it... It feels weird..."
Wolfram - *snorts again* "You'll have to get used to it. The stomach at least."
Yuuri - *pouts at him/still teasing* "But it's not like it'll happen overnight... I'll have time to adjust."
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes* "Whatever. Help me take this stuff off." *pulls at the ribbons on the bonnet, tossing the little hat onto the floor before removing his wig, tossing that away as well* "So then I guess growing out my hair is a 'no?'"
Yuuri - *still grinning* "Not that long..." *helps him with taking off the padding and fake belly, tossing them onto the pile, sighing again in relief* "That looks much better..."
Wolfram - *stands still and lets him remove everything, then fiddles with the dress* "I don't have anything other than this to wear..."
Yuuri - *blinks at him, then starts to unbutton his shirt*
Wolfram - *immediately reaches out a hand to stop him* "Wait." *raises an eyebrow at him* "If you're planning on giving that to me to wear, only to make me take it off later, then don't bother."
Yuuri - *stops and blinks at him again* "I... I wouldn't do that... I mean... if you wanted something else to wear...." *trails off/hadn't really thought about it*
Wolfram - *huffs* "I don't care."
Yuuri - *tilts his head at him* "Did you want my shirt? I don't want you to be cold... or uncomfortable..."
Wolfram - "I doubt I'll be either cold or uncomfortable." *carefully moves a tiny bit away from him to sit on the edge of the bed*
Yuuri - *watches him, leaving his shirt half unbuttoned to go sit on the bed next to him, happily wrapping his arm around his waist to pull him closer*
Wolfram - *laughs a little at the arm around his waist, but allows himself to be pulled closer* "Wimp..."
Yuuri - *smiles at him, reaching up with his other hand to brush at Wolfram's hair* "Yup..."
Wolfram - *sighs a little, leaning against him/grumbles* "I don't like this. Why does it matter if we sleep in separate rooms?"
Yuuri - *blinks at him* "Well... I guess they must not want anyone to get distracted from why they're here... Gotta keep focused..." *really just making crap up*
Wolfram - *scoffs at the idea* "It's not like we're actually part of their little group. What do we have to focus on? And we were riding together all day, so even if the others don't know who we are, they should at least suspect that we're together." *pouts* "I think this is just some secret form of torture..."
Yuuri - *grins at him/amused by his pouting* "Yeah... good thing doors won't stop us from seeing each other..."
Wolfram - *continues to pout* "How long do we have to stay with them?"
Yuuri - *grins more* "Well... They did say for however long we'd like..." *pauses* "Although... I think I recall seeing a steeple when we were riding in..."
Wolfram - *quickly looks up at him* "Really?!"
Yuuri - *nods* "I would have told you, but you were busy ignoring me..." *puts on a playful pout*
Wolfram - "I..." *shakes his head/flushes a little in shame* "I wasn't ignoring you..."
Yuuri - *leans in to kiss his forehead* "Yes, you were."
Wolfram - *pouts even more* "I was not."
Yuuri - *smiles at him* "Yeah... you were... I was getting jealous... "
Wolfram - *frowns a little now* "What do you have to be jealous of...?"
Yuuri - *smiles a bit wider* "You were giving all your attention to someone other than me."
Wolfram - *keeps on pouting* "I was just talking..."
Yuuri - *pulls him closer, laughing lightly* "Yup... you were.... You were terrorizing that poor guy... No wonder why he doesn't like talking."
Wolfram - "I was not terrorizing him! I just don't like being ignored!"
Yuuri - *raises his eyebrow at him* "You too?"
Wolfram - *goes silent and frowns, though it looks more like another pout*
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "I love you..."
Wolfram - *quietly* "I love you, too..."
Yuuri - *smiles brightly* "Good."
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes* "I thought you said you didn't doubt that."
Yuuri - "I don't. I just like to hear it from time to time." *teasing him*
Wolfram - *another eye roll* "Whatever. Just kiss me, you wimp. I know you're dying to..."
Yuuri - *smirks at him* "Oh...?"
Wolfram - *pulls away from him to lay back on the tiny bed* "Well, jee, you don't have to if you don't want to..."
Yuuri - *shakes his head, following and moving over top of him* "Oh, I do... It's just kinda weird with you in a dress."
Wolfram - *lifts his arms up over his head, forcing another huff* "Then take it off..."
Yuuri - *laughs at him, but moves around a bit to carefully pull up on the dress and over the blond's head, throwing it over to the pile of clothes/reaches up to grab hold of his wrists, keeping Wolfram's arms over his head before he could pull them down again* "Aren't you going to be cold...?"
Wolfram - *a little surprised by Yuuri practically pinning him down, but doesn't try to get away* "Am I ever cold when I'm sleeping with you?"
Yuuri - *shrugs* "I guess not..." *leans closer to kiss him, finally*
Wolfram - *wishes he could move his arms in order to wrap them around him, but does the best he can to press closer anyway, kissing him back*
Yuuri - *kisses him back for a few moments before pulling back some, taking Wolfram's arms and pulling them up around his neck before leaning in to kiss him again/once more moves his hand down to hold onto his waist while he had the chance*
Wolfram - *happily allows Yuuri to do so, tightening his hold on him after only a few seconds/kisses him back deeply, making a soft pleased noise in the back of his throat*
Yuuri - *happily kisses him back, pulling him closer, running his hand along his waist some as if trying to memorize it by touch*
Wolfram - *pulls back - much to soon, in his own opinion - to catch his breath/looking up at Yuuri with a small smile* "So you trying to give me your shirt would have been worthless anyway, wouldn't it?"
Yuuri - *pulls back a little as well, but only because Wolfram pulled back/blinks at him, flushing lightly* "Well... I guess..."
Wolfram - *shakes his head at him* "Never satisfied, I tell you..."
Yuuri - *pouts at him, panting lightly* "It's not my fault you spoil me..."
Wolfram - *snorts* "I spoil you?! I think it's the other way around..."
Yuuri - *pouts a little more* "It's true... you give me whatever I want..."
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "Not nearly as much as you indulge me..."
Yuuri - *blinks at him* "Is there anything I can indulge you with now...?"
Wolfram - *raises an eyebrow at him/teasing* "You could pin me down and kiss me again."
Yuuri - *grins lightly* "Really?" *reaches up to take his arms from around his neck, pulling them back up over his head, pinning both his wrists with one hand, the other moving back along his waist* "Like that...?"
Wolfram - *rolls his eyes/extremely sarcastic* "No..."
Yuuri - *grins more, pressing his chest closer to Wolfram's, pinning him even more* "Oh...? Is that better?"
Wolfram - *his heart starts beating very quickly within his chest, his breathing becoming a little irregular, and his face flushing lightly/nods slowly, but doesn't say anything*
Yuuri - *watches him for a bit, then leans close to his lips, hovering just over them* "You wanted me to kiss you too, right...?"
Wolfram - *breathlessly* "Yes..."
Yuuri - *pauses for a moment, then presses their lips together, kissing him deeply, though still holding him in place*
Wolfram - *kisses him back as best as he can without being able to move much, whining softly in the back of his throat/blushes darkly*
Yuuri - *continues the kiss for several long seconds before pulling back a bit/curious* "You're blushing..."
Wolfram - *his voice cracks in the most embarrassing manner, making him blush more* "So..?"
Yuuri - *smiles at him/amused and still curious* "Why....?"
Wolfram - "I..." *stutters a little* "Because, I... I'm... excited?"
Yuuri - *smiles more* "I see... So me pinning you down like this... is exciting for you..."
Wolfram - *swallows nervously/answers him quietly* "Yes..."
Yuuri - *continues to watch him for a few moments, then pulls back some more, moving his hand from Wolfram's waist to finish unbuttoning his shirt, then carefully slides it off, making sure he still held tightly to his wrists, switching hands when he had to slide off his other sleeve then tossing somewhere on the floor before settling back down on top of him, pinning him again* "Is that more comfortable for you...?"
Wolfram - *swallows again, his throat feeling suddenly dry/worried that his voice will only crack again if he speaks, so he sticks with nodding instead*
Yuuri - *watches him some more, still curious, but once again leans in to kiss him deeply, allowing himself to let out a soft, pleased whine as well*
Wolfram - *kisses him back passionately, flexing his fingers a bit, but he can't move his hands any more than that/not that he's complaining at all...*
Yuuri - *holds him down in the kiss for a long time again before finally pulling back to breathe* ".... Are you okay...?"
Wolfram - *nods again, keeping his eyes closed as he breaths heavily* "Yes..."
Yuuri - *pauses for a moment, then leans down again to lick from his collarbone and up his neck*
Wolfram - *gasps, and isn't really able to stop himself from trying to yank his hands away/he doesn't mind being pinned down - it's actually rather exciting - but his instincts scream at him to do something, and it's a little difficult to ignore*
Yuuri - *pulls back a bit, but doesn't let him go/watches him curiously for a bit, then moves back to lick along his jaw, holding a bit tighter to his wrists so he couldn't move too much*
Wolfram - *groans a bit louder than he'd intended to... not that he'd intended to groan, he just would have liked it to be a little quieter/blushes more*
Yuuri - *greatly amused/slides his hand down from his waist down his thigh, pulling his leg up to hold it against his side, still making sure he couldn't move very easily/licks along his neck again*
Wolfram - *pants heavily, making a few other embarrassing little noises/tries to press closer to him/breathless* "Yuuri..."
Yuuri - *blinks at him, pulling back some* "Yes...?"
Wolfram - *flushes even darker, glancing up at him* "I..."
Yuuri - *leans down to give him a quick kiss on the lips before pulling back again* "Yes...?"
Wolfram - "I... I love you..."
Yuuri - *stares at him for a moment* "I love you, too, Wolfram..."
Wolfram - *stares into his eyes, his heart still beating wildly in his chest*
Yuuri - *continues to watch him, staring back at him and trying to study his expression/readjusts his hold on his wrists, hoping he wasn't hurting him*
Wolfram - *swallows hard again, but isn't at all uncomfortable with their current position/tries to get his breathing under control, though he's not too terribly worried about it*
Yuuri - *stares at him, a bit worriedly* "Are you okay...?"
Wolfram - *manages a small smile* "I'm fine." *laughs lightly* "You act as if you've never made me feel like this before."
Yuuri - *smiles back at him* "I worry every time..."
Wolfram - *looks a little confused* "Why...?"
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "I never knew your heart could beat so fast... It's like it could stop at any moment..."
Wolfram - *laughs lightly again* "I'll be fine. I promise."
Yuuri - *nods, still smiling* "I love you..."
Wolfram - *smiles back at him* "I love you, too..."
Yuuri - "I'll always love you... no matter what happens... I'll do anything for you..."
Wolfram - *continues to smile at him lovingly, feeling an intense warmth at his words* "I know. And I'll always love you... and do anything for you, too..."
Yuuri - *smiles brightly at him, leaning down to kiss him again, still holding him securely in place*
Wolfram - *kisses him back, trying his hardest to keep from fighting against his hold, laying as still as he possibly can*
Yuuri - *presses closer to him, kissing him deeper and trying not to be too ridiculous with the soft sounds he was making*
Wolfram - *makes soft sounds of his own, and he knows he sounds ridiculous, but with Yuuri kissing him the way he was, he wasn't sure he cared so much, just as long as Yuuri didn't stop*
Yuuri - *continues to kiss him, getting deeper and more passionate than any time before/still holding his hands down and his leg up against him*
Wolfram - *whines loudly, trying to press into him again/it was almost torture not being able to touch him, but it was still nice the way things currently were/it was hard to describe, and he really wasn't in the right state of mind to try at the moment*
Yuuri - *eventually has to pull back, completely breathless, leaning his head down to bury his face into the side of Wolfram's neck*
Wolfram - *a little disappointed, but hopes Yuuri wasn't able to tell/panting heavily again*
Yuuri - *nibbles on his neck, still trying to catch his breath*
Wolfram - *shivers, whining again*
Yuuri - *caves in and pulls away from his neck to kiss him again, as deeply as before, despite still panting for breath*
Wolfram - *kisses him back just as passionately, immensely pleased/we'll go with the flow - and follow the precedent that has already been established - and say that they continued kissing for a while - and, of course, touching, too - and spent some time "trying" for a baby again/once they were finished they were out of breath, flushed, and sweaty, but Wolfram could hardly complain/lays back against the pillow with his eyes closed, taking deep breaths* "Yuuri... I love you..."
Yuuri - *smiles lovingly at him, trying to catch his breath as well/also trying not to roll off the stupid, small bed* "I love you, too, Wolfram..."
Wolfram - *wraps his arms - which had been released from Yuuri's hold at some point during their activities - tightly around him, keeping him in place on top of him/eventually opens his eyes to smile at him brightly, giggling slightly* "This bed is smaller than the one we slept in the first night."
Yuuri - *laughs lightly, leaning in to kiss him quickly before pulling back again* "You noticed, too?"
Wolfram - *continues giggling* "It's not too hard to notice..."
Yuuri - *laughs again* "I guess not..." *glances over to eye the floor, cringing at the thought of how cold it would be* "Though... I think I'd rather stay here..."
Wolfram - *nods at him, still smiling, the day's annoyances now completely forgotten* "We can manage."
Yuuri - *snorts lightly* "I think we've done pretty well managing, so far..."
Wolfram - *nods again in agreement* "It could have gone much worse, I suppose..."
Yuuri - *raises his eyebrow at him/teasing* "Don't tell me you've lost your love of cold floors...?"
Wolfram - *laughs more/teasing as well* "Oh, no, of course not, Your Majesty. I love both cold floors and excessively small beds."
Yuuri - *grins* "I'll have to make sure they get rid of our bed back home, then. We can sleep on the cold floor every night. Although, I think a sofa would be about as big as this bed... So we should have that put in its place."
Wolfram - *continues to laugh and giggle, imagining the looks on the maids' faces if they requested something like that* "Should we have our horses live in our room, too?"
Yuuri - *grins wider* "Oh yes! Actually, I was thinking about just moving into a smaller room all together."
Wolfram - "One with a nearly broken fire place and a hole in the roof for a little snow to fall through?"
Yuuri - *nods* "Yup. That's exactly what I was thinking."
Wolfram - *laughs some more, glancing up at Yuuri lovingly again/moves one of his hands to gently stroke the side of his face, glad to see that the redness had faded and that he hadn't left a mark when he'd accidentally slapped him that morning* "I love you..."
Yuuri - *watches him, trying to study him once more, curious as to what he was thinking/happily leans into his touch* "And I love you..."
Wolfram - *smiles lightly, then leans up to kiss him softly on the lips*
Yuuri - *readily kisses him back for a bit before pulling away/shakes his head* "I don't think I'll agree to the idea of separate rooms ever again..."
Wolfram - *raises an eyebrow/teasing* "I didn't realize you'd agreed to it at all."
Yuuri - *pouts at him* "I didn't... But next time I'm gonna flat out refuse..."
Wolfram - *sighs happily* "Good. I don't like being away from you for even a second."
Yuuri - *groans lightly at the thought* "That was worse torture than I'd expected..."
Wolfram - *giggles again, agreeing wholeheartedly, and is about to reply when a light knocking against the door interrupts him/jumps and tenses in surprise, his heart rate increasing again as he looks over to it nervously*
