“Wolfram?” Tamotsu called out as he approached what he presumed to be Wolfram’s room.
“In here.”
Tamotsu stormed into the room.
“Wolfram, I get back here and the first thing I get to hear about you is that you’re-”
Tamotsu was interrupted by Wolfram nearly strangling him with a ‘hug.’
“Tamotsu! You’re back, finally.” Wolfram cried into his best friend’s shoulder.
Tamotsu grinned and stroked his friend’s back until he was ready to let go. Seven years was far too long to go without even talking to Wolfram.
After a few minutes Wolfram finally pulled away, but kept one hand on Tamotsu’s arm as if to reassure himself that his friend was really there.
“Why are you back?”
Tamotsu arched one elegant eyebrow. “You make it sound like you don’t want me here, I’m hurt.”
Wolfram’s face molded itself into an irritated pout. “Cut the crap, just tell me,” he demanded.
Tamotsu gave an internal sigh at Wolfram’s impatience. “Gisela asked me to come home.”
Wolfram frowned. “Why?”
Tamotsu shrugged. “I haven’t the foggiest clue.”
“And you didn’t have the sense to ask her now that you’re here?” Wolfram asked incredulously.
Tamotsu simply shrugged, “Nope.”
Wolfram scowled at him, “You’re shameless,” he admonished.
Tamotsu gave the blonde a cheeky smile before taking a seat on the four-poster bed in the room and gesturing Wolfram to do the same.
“Now, the real reason I came here was to ask you what’s going on between you and the Maoh.” Tamotsu explained after Wolfram sat down.
“You didn’t come up here to bask in my presence?” Wolfram cried out dramatically, trying to avoid the subject. Tamotsu gave him a stern look, a clear sign that Wolfram should start talking.
Wolfram sighed, his good mood completely gone. “Yuri and I are…complicated.”
Tamotsu threw an exasperated look at his friend. “I think I can keep up.”
“He’s, well-not exactly, how do I put this? Yuri is..er, well…special.”
Tamotsu raised both his eyebrows, “That’s the best excuse you could come up with for him? Special? We both know he’s not treating you right.”
“Whoa there, what idiot told you that?” Wolfram interjected.
“Your mother and my sister.”
“Well, my mother has a tendency to exaggerate things, she must’ve-”
“Wolfram stop lying to me.” Tamotsu’s voice hit Wolfram like a slap. It was clear that the other man was hurt. “If you don’t trust me that’s fine, just don’t lie t -“
Wolfram put a hand over Tamotsu’s mouth.
“I’m sorry.” He muttered, staring at the ground.
Tamotsu sighed; it was just so hard to stay mad at Wolfram after missing him for so long. “It’s alright, really.”
As he and Wolfram spent the next several minutes in an uncomfortable silence Tamotsu couldn’t help but feel like there was a wall between him and the other man, one that he’d never encountered before with Wolfram. He emitted another quiet sigh. Coming back to Shin Makoku was going to be harder than he thought.

A/N- Bwah. Sorry. I had some serious Writer’s block which explains why the chapter is so short and why it took so long. But, on the positive note I’ve finally figured out where I’m going with this.
As always, remember to review and let me know if there are any mistakes, grammatical or otherwise.
