Day 71, Early evening, Outside Yuuris office

[conrard_weller]

After his discussion with Shouri, he was feeling even worse about that clumsy mistake earlier.

How could he have let his guard down? How careless. He should have had more control over himself when out with Wolf. No more alcohol for a while. Just duty. That would keep him busy. Patrolling the halls and keeping his king safe was all he needed to focus

"I might be inclined to agree." Yozak slid up to Conrad's side and leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed. He tipped to the side just enough to bump the other with his shoulder. "Though I wonder why you feel the need to call yourself names when you have a best friend right here who is more than willing to do it for you? And why you're moping out here? I had with a little chat with Gunter, by the way."

Yuuri had run away to his office for solitude after the situation.

"Julias soul..." Wolfy was right. He was as close to Julia as Conrad could get. But there was no way Conrad had those kinds of feelings for him. No way that accident had actually been...not an accident.

currently, he sat at his desk head burred in his arms as he tried to figure out exactly what had ruined what he thought was the start of a wonderful day.

He heard voices outside the door, most likely some guards. As long as it wasn't the one person he was trying to avoid now more than anyone.

Wolfram.

Conrad gave the read head a weak smile.

"I suppose you're right."

His smile faded at the mention of Gunter. " You did? Well you are alive so I take it ended alright."

He glanced at the door to Yuuris office and bit his lip. He still wasn't sure if he should go in or not.

Wolfram had been pleasantly happy all day, he'd even been passing smiles on to anyone who walked pass, this was quite unusual, but yesterday had brightened up his mood dramatically.

Of course this didn't last long; it went nearly just as quickly as it had came. Wolfram had been passing the kitchens on his way to the stables; he thought it was about him he paid his horse a visit. This was when he had heard the maids gossiping away on the other side of the door. Usually he paid no attention; most of what they said wasn't accurate anyway. That was until he heard the words: His Majesty, Lord Weller and kiss all in the same sentence.

"Cheating Wimp!"

He rushed off, pushing pass a servant nearby. He felt his stomach drop, Yuuri had only just been kissing him the day before. What was up with that? He brushed quickly at the sides of his eyes, feeling pickling tears. He ran upwards in the castle, screaming at anyone who might know where the 'ungrateful little cheater' would be

Yuuri jumped out of his coma when he heard the familiar yelling, raging voice he knew all too well. His insides dropped, he had to do something.

But of course all he really wanted to do was stay inside his office and hope Conrad explained the situation. Than again...unlike Wolfy this worlds Wolfram didn't have a close relationship to Conrad. What if it only made things worse?

With only a moment's hesitation he moved out from his seat, going over to the door with a shaky hand to let the people in the hall know he was inside. He opened the door enough to let himself pop halfway out. "Wolfram...don't go around yelling, I think your having a terrible misunderstanding."

[firemazoku]

"There's no misunderstanding here! You’re a cheater! Even after yesterday and with Conrat no less." He crossed his arms, feeling the rage flow though him. "Don't tell your going to try and get out of this, nothing you say can change what you did Yuuri!"

His hands twitched, he wanted to deal with Conrad, in the only way he knew, a sword fight. Anything to let go of the betrayal he felt. But something told him not to, so he kept his eyes away from his brother, and looked to see what Yuuri had to say for himself, though he doubted it would change his mind about anything.

[harajukumaou]

"It's not my fault!" Yuuri narrowed his eyes, the whole situation felt like it was being blow out of proportion.

He could see the animosity in Wolframs eyes. The hurt in his face was almost to much to bare. Yuuri moved on an impulse, leaving door and taking Wolframs hand, without a moment for the other to hesitate he pulled him into the office.

"I'm sorry, Conrad." He only gave his God father a short moment of attention. WEither he was apologizing for the situation or for how conrad felt...well he didn't specify. As soon as he had Wolfram in the office Yuuri closed the door. Leaving Conrad with Yozak.

"Wolfram," Yuuri started, letting go of his hand and leaning against the door to recollect himself.

He really should be kicking himself in the head, now he was all alone with a burning fuse.

Yozak stood aside and watched the display with pursed lips. Once the king and Wolfram disappeared behind the door, he turned his attention back to Conrad. "Should I even ask?"

He huffed and slumped against the wall. "Anyway, yes. Gunter. It went...well. Differently than I had planned. I think you and he miscommunicated a few things. I also think you're better off without him."

[conrard_weller]

He frowned when Wolfram showed and looked less than pleased with him. He really hated that he and his little brother were always like this.

He gave Yuuri an apologetic look before he watched his brother and the king go into the office.

He leaned back against the wall and bumped his head against it.

"You're probably right. Everything's such a mess."

[orange_mullet]

Yozak reached over to lay a hand on Conrad's shoulder. "It will get better. Just... take it one step at a time."

[conrard_weller]

"You're right. I think I just need some distraction. If Gwendal sends you on a mission again. I think I'll go with you. Heika has Wolfram to keep him safe. Now I think I understand how Shouri feels sometimes." He smiled weakly at the red head.
