Yuri returned back before sundown, just as he had promised. He was as disheveled as he was a few nights back, something Wolfram presumed that Adrianna arranged to be used as a clear sign of victory to Wolfram, to show him how Yuri preferred her over him.
It worked, because Wolfram’s gut was twisting in his stomach and he was getting an overwhelming urge to regurgitate all he’d eaten at dinner.
Yuri offered Wolfram no lies about where he’d gone, and Wolfram knew better than to ask.
------------
Yuri eventually stopped with the lies on his various locations, and had stopped telling Wolfram, or anyone for that manner, when he would be coming back.
He just went and came back. Over and over again while Wolfram watched helplessly.
Gisela loved Wolfram like a brother, really, it was just she wanted to smack the boy silly and order him to extricate himself from the situation.
It was killing him, and it was killing her to watch him.
Every time Yuri started voluntarily talking to Wolfram his eyes would light up a bit, in the hopes that Yuri would finally come clean.
But days, and even weeks went by and Yuri never said a thing. Eventually, the little light died, and Wolfram’s eyes seemed almost hollow; like there was nothing behind those lovely green eyes.
------------
“Yuri?” Adrianna asked in that sweet voice that she only reserved for Yuri.
It wasn’t because she was sentimental or anything, it was because he was the only person she knew who was stupid enough to believe it.
“Mmm?” Was the only half-asleep response she got as Yuri slowly rolled over to face her on her bed.
“I just wanted to tell you I love you.” She kept her eyes downcast and meek, not just because that’s what the kind of girl she was currently playing would do, but because even though she could mold her voice to serve her purpose she could never hide the deceitful glint that seemed to permanently reside in her eyes.
She heard a soft gasp before he sat up and gripped her shoulders tightly.
“I love you too.” He told her and she could see that he was telling the truth.
She looked up at him, beaming, and he took her face in his hands and pulled her down to re-start the activities that had gotten them into a bed in the first place.
He was such a fool, Adrianna thought to herself while engaging in some more adult actions. It had only taken her a little while, but she now had the Maoh in her hands and she had no intention of letting go.
------------
The whole court knew about the affair now, it was hard not to. You’d have to blind to miss the markings and puffy red lips that adorned Yuri every time he came home from one of his not-so-mysterious little escapades. And even if you were blind, the rumors surrounding their Maoh were enough.
The people of the court were careful to make sure that none of the people of the kingdom got any word of the affair. The people were often inspired by the innocent light they knew as their Maoh, and it would create endless, unnecessary revolt ad chaos if they were to find out that he was less than faithful to his fiancé.
------------
What’s wrong with me? Wolfram asked himself ferociously, again and again.
What was so wrong with him? What were his fatal flaws, the ones Yuri saw when he looked at him? What were they dammit?!
Wolfram began breathing heavily, panting, trying to keep the rising wave of anger down. He’d recently started resenting Yuri, resenting the lies, resenting himself.
If only he’d been more understanding, less possessive, stronger, a girl, would Yuri like him better? Wolfram would change everything about himself in a heartbeat if it meant Yuri running back into his arms.
Anything.
If only, if only…
------------
A/N- So, when the plot originally appeared in my mind I wasn’t going to let Wolfram forgive Yuri, but now I’m torn between having Wolfram and Yuri end up in the end or having Yuri heartbroken at the end. So, this is where you come in readers. I’d like to know your opinion as I’m torn (though I’m a bit more partial to the first option).
And for those of you out there wondering what I have against Yuri, my only explanation is that for some odd reason Yuri’s character really irritates me and I find myself wanting to crush his heart.
Thanks for sticking around for that second chapter, remember to review and let me know if there are any mistakes, grammatical or otherwise.
