Part Four
*gnaws on Yuuri's ankle* I swear... this guy is so frustrating to rp sometimes... It's that whole "Stay fair!!" thing... -- er... Well, that's the analogy for baseball... with the Red Sox and the Carlton Fisk homerun... in 1947... (EDIT - Actually... it was in 1975... XP He was born in 47... and I'm an idiot... -- HEY! That's where Yuuri gets it from!! ) Yeah... But I think the same feeling is like... When you're bowling? And you know the ball is rolling towards the gutter and you're trying in all your power to keep it on the track... but you really can't do anything? (Or maybe I'm just the loser that gets that involved with bowling... Sigh... Let's stay with the "Stay Fair") But yeah... it's really annoying... And Wolfram is so bloody stubborn sometimes!! Ugh!! Thank you, Mi-chan... thank you so very much... *grumble* So yeah... Sap/angst/whining warning for this part... because... yeah...
Very Brief Recap
Yuuri pansies out and cries like a wittle baby (Haven't seen THAT one before...) after 'proposing' to his fiance again...
Characters
Yuuri - Guine
Wolfram - Mikage
Warnings
(Yeah, I just recycle the warnings Mi-chan first put up. <3 )
- Extreme crack (at certain points).
- Extreme angst (again, at certain points).
- Extreme amounts of sap.
- I probably have no need to mention this now, but there will be blood and violence in later parts.
- Mpreg. This is mainly Guine’s fault. She apparently thought it would be highly amusing, so we went with it (I tried to keep myself from giving in - I really did - but I also find Mpreg enjoyable, so… I didn’t put up much of a fight). The only reason I’ve put a warning about this is because I know some people don’t like it. (And, on the note of Mpreg, I know I remember someone asking me about it before, but there will be absolutely no Mpreg in Love and War.)
- Also, Yuuri and Wolfram occasionally have moods that fluctuate like mad. My Wolfram in the RP is especially bratty. Maybe he doesn’t seem so at the beginning, but just wait. He goes, like, completely mental sometimes - it’s hilarious.
- OCs. Not so much at the beginning, because for now it’ll just be our loving couple, but later, as a way to ease the monotony of their lives and get some action in here (without using the minor characters that are constantly reused in the series) we've added some in. But, to us, they’re very likable, so… yeah…
- Pairing(s): Must you ask? Yuuram, with a few others interspersed throughout.
- Guine and I have come to the decision that Yuuri should just never think, because it usually does nothing more than lead him around in circles. I think we make mention of that fact at least once or twice.
- By the way, Yuuri and Wolfram have a tendency to become very awkward at points, but I see their relationship as one most likely to have periods of awkwardness, anyway, so…
- Yuuri being an idiot might just be because Guine is completely clueless about a lot of things...
Covering the Bases
Part Four - Strike Two
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "Close your eyes...."
Wolfram - "I don't think I want to."
Yuuri - *tries not to wince/frowns at him* "I thought you were supposed to do what I told you?"
Wolfram - *shrugs* "You're the one who dropped the act."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes* "What act?"
Wolfram - "Your 'I'm the big, bad Demon King and you'd better do what I say, or else' act."
Yuuri - *watches him* "You really like it better when I'm like that?"
Wolfram - *snorts* "It's amusing, if that's what you're asking."
Yuuri - *tries again* "Close your eyes."
Wolfram - "What if I say 'no?'"
Yuuri - *shrugs* "Then you'll see..."
Wolfram - "Hmmm..." *pretends to think for a moment* "I still don't think I want to. What are you going to do when I close my eyes?"
Yuuri - "It's a surprise.... Hold still..."
Wolfram - "What kind of surprise?"
Yuuri - "Well... Since you've got your eyes open, I guess you'll see..."
Wolfram - "I suppose..."
Yuuri - "Are you going to hold still and close your eyes?" *watches him/curious*
Wolfram - *sighs* "I suppose I can indulge you just this once." *smirks/closes his eyes*
Yuuri - *watches him for a moment/reaches up to brush Wolfram's bangs from his eyes*
Wolfram - "... I'm waiting..."
Yuuri - *leans closer/trailing his lips from the blond's shoulder down his collarbone*
Wolfram - *cracks open an eye to peer down at him/curious/shivers lightly* "What do you think you're doing?"
Yuuri - "You're cheating..." *pauses/glances up at him*
Wolfram - *sighs again and recloses his eyes* "Fine. Whatever. Just don't do anything funny."
Yuuri - *smirks/shakes his head/continues up to the boy's jaw*
Wolfram - *squirms a little, but manages to stay in place*
Yuuri - *kisses right below his ear/whispers* ".... I love you...."
Wolfram - *flushes/frowns/mumbles* "... I love you, too..."
Yuuri - *wraps his arms around him/still quiet* "... I won't leave you...."
Wolfram - "That's... good to know..."
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "No... but if that's what you call a surprise..." *smiles slightly, opens his eyes, and kisses Yuuri's cheek* "You're still a wimp."
Yuuri - *frowns* "Am I?" *pulls back from him to push him backwards on the bed* "I never said you could open your eyes..."
Wolfram - *smirks* "I'm not usually very good at following orders."
Yuuri - *grins* "I suppose not..." *moves closer/staring down at him*
Wolfram - *grins/staring up at him* "Does that displease you, Your Majesty?"
Yuuri - "It sure makes things more difficult sometimes..." *lifts his hand to brush the blond's bangs back again*
Wolfram - "Oh, but I enjoy making things difficult for you." *his grin widens/teasing him* "Can you really blame me for playing hard to get now that I have you all to myself? I've waited so long..."
Yuuri - *pauses in brushing his hair* ".... You're right... I'm sorry..."
Wolfram - *somewhat put off by the fact that Yuuri's gone back to apologizing, but he doesn't let it disrupt his playfulness* "Maybe now you'll understand what it was like for me. Get a 'taste of your own medicine,' as you're so fond of saying."
Yuuri - *laughs at that* "Yes... Well... " *leans down/hovering over Wolfram's lips* "I guess I've still got a lot to work on..."
Wolfram - *turns his face away* "Would you rather I not make things so difficult?" *leans up to whisper in his ear* "I could be your submissive, dutiful little slave if that's what you wanted."
Yuuri - "Hmm..." *pretending to think about it* "I think I like you better the way you are..."
Wolfram - "Are you sure?" *grins even more* "You have no idea how difficult I can make things for you."
Yuuri - "I think I deserve some trouble... Especially since it took me so long to...." *trails off*
Wolfram - "Perhaps..."
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "What about you?"
Wolfram - "What about me?"
Yuuri - "How would you most like me to behave?"
Wolfram - "However you want."
Yuuri - "I don't think that counts for an answer..."
Wolfram - "Why doesn't it, Your Majesty? You can do or act whatever and however you want."
Yuuri - "But I'm asking what you want..."
Wolfram - "I don't care. I like you either way."
Yuuri - *stares at him* "Uh huh..."
Wolfram - "It's just that..." *trails a finger down his chest to poke him in the stomach* "Seeing you like this every once in a while is fun. It's different."
Yuuri - *squirms a bit* "Different...? And you're fine with this?"
Wolfram - "If I wasn't I wouldn't have let you push me down."
Yuuri - *blinks/flushes lightly* "Oh..."
Wolfram - *lifts himself up just enough to kiss his cheek*
Yuuri - *mocks him* "You always kiss me like I'm some little kid..."
Wolfram - "What? Is that not enough for you, Your Majesty?"
Yuuri - *mock frowns* "I don't believe it is..."
Wolfram - *mock pouts* "You wouldn't want to turn me into some sort of a whore, now, would you?" *teasing him* "Is that how you Earth people treat your fiancés?"
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "I'm not going to turn you into anything... Like I said before... I only just worked up the courage to tell you I loved you.... " *pauses/sadly* "Sometimes that's what happens..."
Wolfram - *curious* "What happens?"
Yuuri - "People treat the ones they love badly..."
Wolfram - "You Earth people are so barbaric."
Yuuri - *raises an eyebrow* "You didn't know that already?" *leans down to kiss his shoulder again*
Wolfram - *smiles* "But you're so much more advanced than we are."
Yuuri - *frowns* "I don't think 'advanced' is the right word..."
Wolfram - "Hmmm..."
Yuuri - "There are so many differences... I don't think either world could be labeled as better..."
Wolfram - "I suppose... Earth has strange traditions, though."
Yuuri - *blinks* "Like?"
Wolfram - "The one where you put the stockings by the fireplace. What if they caught on fire and burned the house down? And then you only celebrate love one day a year. Are you only allowed to love someone for one day?" *grins playfully* "No wonder you're so pathetic when it comes to those sorts of things. I suppose I can expect you to be back to your wimpy self tomorrow, then."
Yuuri - *stares at him for a moment then laughs* "Wow... You can be really cute, you know..." *leans closer to him to brush his lips against Wolfram's neck* "And I don't think that's possible, now..."
Wolfram - *laughs a little* "And how do you prove to someone that you love them if you don't hit them?"
Yuuri - *frowns* "I'm working on that..." *kisses his neck again*
Wolfram - "You kiss? That's all?" *turns away/mock pouting/is actually loving all of the attention* "You could just as easily kiss anyone else."
Yuuri - *pulls back some* "N-no.... And I wouldn't want to kiss anyone else...."
Wolfram - "You say that now..." *joking with him* "But the next time someone more beautiful than me comes to the palace, I'm sure you'll be singing another tune."
Yuuri - *frowns* "First you have to point out someone more beautiful than you..."
Wolfram - *grins, turning back to him* "I've never won a beauty pageant."
Yuuri - "Have you ever entered one?"
Wolfram - *shakes his head/his grin widens* "No. Why go through all that to prove to everyone else that I'm more beautiful than they are? I wouldn't want to break anyone's heart, would I?"
Yuuri - "Well then... We're still back at finding someone I could possibly be more attracted to than you..."
Wolfram - *mock shock/gasps playfully* "You weren't attracted to Elizabeth at all?"
Yuuri - *shrugs* "She was pretty, sure... But then she tried to kill me..."
Wolfram - *smirks* "So did I, if you'll remember."
Yuuri - "Yeah, but that was... different...."
Wolfram - "How so?"
Yuuri - *frowns* "I-I don't know... Besides... She was just here because you proposed to her.... She never liked me to begin with..."
Wolfram - "And you think I liked you when you first came here? In the beginning, I had no desire you be engaged to you. Why would I want to be tied down to an awkward looking wimp when I could have had anyone else I'd wanted?"
Yuuri - "Hey! I didn't know I was proposing..."
Wolfram - "And so we come back to that... and your strange Earth customs..."
Yuuri - "We're strange? I still don't see what hitting someone has to do with being in love...."
Wolfram - "And I still don't see what expensive dinners and giving a ring to someone have to do with being in love."
Yuuri - *frowns* "It's the promise the ring is supposed to symbolize... And the dinner... Is just to get the right mood..."
Wolfram - "And you think slapping someone can't symbolize that same promise?"
Yuuri - "But a ring doesn't hurt..."
Wolfram - "But a ring can easily be lost..."
Yuuri - *opens his mouth, then closes it* "....." *shakes his head* "I'm still getting used to the idea, okay?"
Wolfram - *smiles at his reaction* "And a ring can also be removed, stolen, and sold. How could it possibly symbolize that promise then?"
Yuuri - *frowns/not liking his lack of argument*
Wolfram - "It makes it seem like a weak promise to think of it that way, doesn't it?"
Yuuri - *doesn't really know what to say, but doesn't want to agree so easily* "Well... That's just what I'm used to... It's just a symbol... Love is supposed to be deeper than that..."
Wolfram - "Hmmmm..." *thinks for a moment* "But your people on Earth don't even allow two men to be married. If love is so deep... why isn't it accepted where it exists?"
Yuuri - "We're not as advanced as you are in that..."
Wolfram - *smiles/raises a hand to stroke his cheek* "I think we have a better idea of what love is than your people do." *brushes his thumb over Yuuri's lips, before trailing his hand down his chest again to play with one of the buttons on his night shirt* "But, if it makes you feel better..." *trails off playfully*
Yuuri - *freezes* "B-but if what makes me feel better?"
Wolfram - *smirks at his reaction* "You can give me a ring. An expensive one. And nothing gaudy like my mother wears."
Yuuri - *blinks at him/still frozen* "R-really?"
Wolfram - *nods* "You lived up to the traditions of this world... so I suppose I can indulge you in one from yours."
Yuuri - *frowns* "Why...? After everything you said about it... It's just a stupid tradition...."
Wolfram - "But it'll mean something to you, won't it? If so, then it'll mean something to me, too. Plus..." *his smile widens* "It would make a lot of people jealous if they knew you gave me something so expensive... and rare, too, if it came from your world. Most wealthy and highly respected men give their fiancés expensive gifts anyway, so it's not like it would be odd for me to accept something like that."
Yuuri - *stares at him* "You just want to show everyone that you've completely got me wrapped around your little finger... don't you?"
Wolfram - *tilts his head to the side/confused* "Why? Is that the finger I'd wear the ring on?"
Yuuri - *opens his mouth and closes it a couple times/finally* "N-no.... It's just an expression... As in... I'll do whatever you want me to do..."
Wolfram - "Oh..." *smirks again/teasing* "Isn't is supposed to be the other way around, Your Majesty? Me doing whatever you want?"
Yuuri - "I don't want you to have to do whatever I want, though..."
Wolfram "Liar."
Yuuri - "I don't want to force you into anything..."
Wolfram - "Who says you're forcing me? I could easily get away from you if I tried."
Yuuri - *makes an impression of a fish again* "W-well.... That's true.... I guess..."
Wolfram - "And haven't I told you multiple times over the course of this evening that I like the thought of you being more forceful?"
Yuuri - *frowns* "Yes, you have..."
Wolfram - "So then why would I wear a ring to show that I have you 'wrapped around my little finger,' as you say? I promise I'll only wear it as it's meant to be worn."
Yuuri - *blinks at him* "I.... What? You wear it on your.... ring finger... left hand... And... I..." *trails off/confusing himself*
Wolfram - *smiles* "And you say I'm cute..."
Yuuri - "Yeah?" *blinks at him again*
Wolfram - "Yeah. Apparently you think I'm quite beautiful..." *sarcastic* "Although I have absolutely no clue as to what would give you that idea."
Yuuri - *tilts his head* "You are beautiful...."
Wolfram - "And you're not too bad looking, yourself. Still a little awkward, but I'm sure you'll mature and grow out of that after a few more years."
Yuuri - *frowns/slightly insulted* "I'm awkward?"
Wolfram - "You're not as confident as you should be. It makes you seem ungainly."
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "Ungainly??"
Wolfram - "Apparently Gunter never bothered to teach you a broader vocabulary." *rolls his eyes* "It's another word for awkward. The fact that you never really think too highly of yourself makes you clumsy and graceless."
Yuuri - *pouts lightly* "I am not awkward..." *doesn't really believe himself* "Am I?"
Wolfram - "Yes, you are. You're always thinking badly about yourself."
Yuuri - "W-well... I only point out the truth..."
Wolfram - "You say you don't think you're very attractive... but you're wrong, you know?"
Yuuri - "You think I'm wrong about how I see myself?" *frowns at him/not too sure where this is going*
Wolfram - "I'm just saying what I think of you. You're very handsome." *blushes, but continues to smile, still playing with the buttons on Yuuri's shirt* "And the fact that you're engaged to me is a bit of a plus. Anyone with such a beautiful fiancé is worthy of the awe of others, don't you think." *teasing him again*
Yuuri - *blushes lightly* "I always feel like I'm only getting attention because of you... Like... How could someone like me end up engaged to someone like you? Even if it was only an accident at the beginning..." *doesn't move but doesn't look at him*
Wolfram - *sighs* "You need to think better of yourself. The sooner you do, the sooner others will think better of you."
Yuuri - *winces lightly* "You're right... I'll try... If only for you...."
Wolfram - "Not for me. For yourself. You're very handsome, Yuuri... in a rough and tumble sort of way. I don't think you'll ever be truly refined. You're too... outgoing for that."
Yuuri - *flushes darker* "Fine... I'm handsome..." *halfheartedly* "....Would you rather me be more refined?"
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "No. That sort of thing just isn't 'you.' I like that you're friendly and outgoing. It makes it easier to trust you."
Yuuri - "As long as I don't screw up, right?" *moves his hand to brush through the blond's hair again*
Wolfram - "I suppose..." *leans up to kiss him lightly on the lips, before pulling away again*
Yuuri - *goes completely still/staring curiously down at him* "I won't screw up... Okay?"
Wolfram - *smiles* "Okay."
Yuuri - "I promise..." *leans down to kiss him again*
Wolfram - "I know."
Yuuri - *watches him for a few moments/frowns at himself* "Why did it take me so long..." *trails off*
Wolfram - "Because you're a wimp."
Yuuri - "Am not..."
Wolfram - "Are too." *grins* "But you're my wimp, so I suppose I can forgive you."
Yuuri - *smiles lightly* "See what I mean about me being around your little finger?"
Wolfram - "And who's to say I'm not around yours?"
Yuuri - *laughs* "But you're so... free spirited... You don't let anyone hold you down..."
Wolfram - *pouts playfully* "I could be the ever obedient wife if I tried."
Yuuri - *laughs even more* "I would love to see you in the kitchen, barefoot and--" *suddenly stops/blushes deeply/sits up, away from him*
Wolfram - *frowns* "What?" *shakes his head then* "Who walks around the kitchen barefoot anyway? It's so unsanitary."
Yuuri - *nervous* "Yeah... That's good... No one does that here anyway..."
Wolfram - "Yuuri...?" *sits up to look at him* "What are you suddenly all nervous about?" *confused* "And, anyway, I wouldn't be in the kitchen. We have maids for that." *stretches, then grins playfully again* "Being your wife may not be so bad. I won't have to train the soldiers or go on patrols anymore. I could sleep in every day, and all I'll really have to do is plan dinner parties and large banquets for our foreign guests - play the gracious hostess... and do all your work when you're not here, but... that won't be too often, right?"
Yuuri - *laughs/sheepish/doesn't look at him* "Yeah, lucky for maids..." *shakes his head* "No, it won't be very often..."
Wolfram - *peers closer at him* "And, then, of course, I'll be required to take care of any children we have, but I've been taking care of Greta since we adopted her, so it's not like it'll be anything excessively difficult. And the maids would help with that, too." *pauses* "Plus, you're so much of a wimp we probably won't have any children for a while yet."
Yuuri - *freezes/blushing deeper/voice higher than usual* "Y-yeah... You're great with Greta... She really loves you..."
Wolfram - *notices his nervousness and his jittery behavior/crosses his arms and stares at him* "Yuuri..."
Yuuri - "What?" *answers too quickly*
Wolfram - "What are you being a wimp about now?"
Yuuri - "I'm not being a wimp about anything!"
Wolfram - "Uh huh. Don't think you can fool me."
Yuuri - *clears his throat* "It's just..." *trails off/still really nervous about it*
Wolfram - "Are you nervous about us getting married... because it's not like we have to right away. We can still put it off for a few more years... though that might look bad but... you're still young and people on Earth usually wait until they're older to get married, so..."
Yuuri - *quickly* "N-no! I'm fine about getting married! I want to get married... It's just... Well... " *tugs nervously at his nightshirt/not looking at the boy*
Wolfram - "What is it then?"
Yuuri - *bites at his lip for a moment* "I.... I just can't see you..." *goes quiet/red* "... I can't see you pregnant..."
Wolfram - *after a long pause* "Do you not want to have children?"
Yuuri - *quickly again* "I do!"
Wolfram - "Oh..." *confused* "Then what's the problem?"
Yuuri - *stares up at the canopy* "Just... You know... The whole... Process..."
Wolfram - "Oh..." *blushes* "You don't want to..."
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "It's not... that I... " *blushes as well* "It's not that I... don't... I just... don't think I'd be very... Well... I wouldn't know... " *trails off again*
Wolfram - *blushes bright red* "Then... then you'll just have to ask Conrart or someone else, because... I am NOT going to explain it to you!" *highly embarrassed*
Yuuri - *embarrassed as well* "Ah... S-sorry... I shouldn't have said anything...."
Wolfram - *continues to sit there/flushed/quiet*
Yuuri - *tugs awkwardly at his shirt/not really knowing if he should even try to say anything/takes a deep breath anyway* ".... I guess we don't have to worry about that for a while though..." *quickly glances up at Wolfram and then away again* "How long does it usually take before... You know... We can get married, anyway?" *pause/thoughtful* "Don’t people elope here?"
Wolfram - "Elope?!" *looks at him, aghast* "We ARE NOT eloping!! Not only would that require us RUNNING AWAY, but I fully intend to have a LARGE, GRAND wedding, with EVERYONE there!!!"
Yuuri - *completely startled/stares at him for a moment* "....." *slowly, his face brightens into his typical goofy grin/laughing* "Alright! Alright! So I'll mark that off my list of 'Things I must do before I die'!"
Wolfram - *glares at him* "As for WHEN it would be appropriate for us to get married... that's entirely up to you."
Yuuri - *hold up his hands in defense* "Alright, alright..." *ponders for a moment* "I have no idea about anything dealing with weddings... What are your thoughts?" *still grinning/barely restraining his laughter*
Wolfram - "My thoughts are that after all of this you had better say 'I do,' or I'm going to kill you in front of everyone. And then I'll bring you back from the dead so that I can kill you again... slowly, and painfully."
Yuuri - *starts laughing again* "I will! Don't worry! I wouldn't want you to get your dress stained with my blood, after all!" *teasing*
Wolfram - *glares at him darkly* "What the hell are you laughing for?! And what makes you think I'll be wearing a dress?!?!"
Yuuri - *quickly covers his mouth to muffle his laughing/manages to stop long enough to answer him/ignores the first question* "You won't be wearing a dress?" *innocent smile*
Wolfram - "NO!!"
Yuuri - *trying his hardest not to laugh/still teasing* "But you'll look so pretty!"
Wolfram - *his face is red with anger/punches Yuuri's shoulder, then turns his back on him and crosses his arms over his chest*
Yuuri - *hold back his laugh at that* "Awww... Alright... You won't be wearing a dress... I just don't think I'll look as good as you in one..."
Wolfram - *grumbling* "No one ever said you'd be wearing one either."
Yuuri - *moves closer to wrap his arms around Wolfram's waist from behind* "Thank goodness... I was getting a bit worried there!"
Wolfram - *struggles to get away from him* "Let go of me! I'm mad at you right now!"
Yuuri - *blinks/confused* "Really?"
Wolfram - "Yes!"
Yuuri - *reluctantly lets him go/not wanting to anger him more* "Sorry..."
Wolfram - *doesn't turn to look at him* "Hmph!"
Yuuri - *lets out a sigh/shakes his head* "I'm making things difficult again, aren't I?"
Wolfram - "You're not taking things seriously like you should be." *mutters* "Getting married isn't something you joke about, Yuuri. It's not a joke to me."
Yuuri - *cautiously moves around to see his face* "I'm sorry... I just wasn't expecting you to react so strongly on the subject... "
Wolfram - "How did you think I was going to react?" *still refuses to look at him*
Yuuri - *frowns/worried* "I don't know... I thought you would just shrug it off and tell me not to worry about it yet or something..."
Wolfram - "Shrug it off?! Like it's not important?!"
Yuuri - *winces* "I-I never said it wasn't important...."
Wolfram - "You sure act as if it means very little to you.. and after all that talk about rings and promises..." *finally looks back, still glaring/feeling a little hurt*
Yuuri - *stares at him/feeling guilty* "I.... I've been avoiding thinking about it for so long... I'm not sure what to think about it..."
Wolfram - *doesn't say anything*
Yuuri - ".... Wolf...."
Wolfram - "... it's one of the most important things in my life..."
Yuuri - *feels really, really guilty now* "... Wolf.... I'm sorry... I'm an idiot... I should have known better..."
Wolfram - "Yeah, well... you can't take it back..."
Yuuri - *watches him* ".... I'm sorry.... I screwed up again, didn't I?"
Wolfram - *looks away and doesn't answer*
Yuuri - *not sure what to do* ".... Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
Wolfram - *stubbornly angry* "I'm not talking to you."
Yuuri - *worried/feeling very guilty* ".... Please?"
Wolfram - *silent*
Yuuri - *slowly and cautiously moves back to wrap his arms around the blond again/rests his head on his back* "... I really do love you.... "
Wolfram - *pouts moodily* "Leave me alone."
Yuuri - *lifts his head to press his lips to the back of Wolfram's neck* "I'm sorry..."
Wolfram - *pushes him away*
Yuuri - *stubbornly holds on/pulls him closer*
Wolfram - *doesn't say anything*
Yuuri - *sighs/holding him securely in his arms* "I want this to be important to me too... I mean... It is important to me... But I want to be able to see it as you see it..."
Wolfram - *still silent/glares at nothing in particular*
Yuuri - *stares up at the canopy again* "All that comes to mind when I think about a wedding is the typical Earth wedding... Saying "I do" and kiss... And that being pretty much it..."
Wolfram - *pretends as if he's not listening*
Yuuri - *frowns/trying to think of everything up to the kissing part* "Although... I do suppose there's a lot more that goes into it than that... Picking a date... Inviting guests... Decorations.... Food, definitely... "
Wolfram - *grumbles something really quietly under his breath*
Yuuri - *blinks/hearing the grumbling* "What?"
Wolfram - *snaps at him* "I said you'd probably be perfectly fine with stupid sandwiches!!"
Yuuri - *stops himself from bursting out laughing/shakes his head instead* "But you want some grand party! There would have to be a huge cake... Depending on the amount of guests of course... And flowers.... Lots of flowers... Unless you think that's too over the top?"
Wolfram - *goes back to being silent*
Yuuri - *not giving up just yet* "Maybe we can have it outside in the gardens...? If that's what you want... hopefully it won't rain..."
Wolfram - *huffs angrily*
Yuuri - *grins at the reaction, even if it wasn't a good one* "Unless it's supposed to be indoors... You know I'm not sure about all the customs here just yet..."
Wolfram - *doesn't bother to reply*
Yuuri - *leans down to brush his lips against the boy's shoulder* "Are there flower girls and such? I bet Greta would love it..."
Wolfram - *tries to push him away again*
Yuuri - *still holding on* "Although, I think Conrad is a bit too old to be the ring bearer... We'll have to find someone younger..."
Wolfram - *jabs at him with his elbow*
Yuuri - *winces/doesn't let go* "You're not going to win this..."
Wolfram - *remains quiet, intent on showing Yuuri which one of them was the most stubborn*
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "I love you..."
Wolfram - *ignores him*
Yuuri - *kisses his neck again*
Wolfram - *squirms away*
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "You really are mad at me...." *wasn't a question*
Wolfram - *again, doesn't answer/sticks his nose in the air arrogantly*
Yuuri - *pouts* "You sure love being difficult...."
Wolfram - *frowns more, but otherwise has no other reaction*
Yuuri - *tries pulling him around to face him/curious*
Wolfram - *struggles against him*
Yuuri - *moves around instead of forcing Wolfram* "Don't be like that..." *watches him*
Wolfram - *moves to turn his back towards him again/refuses to look at him*
Yuuri - *frowns/moves around in front of him again* "Please...?"
Wolfram - *again, turns his back to Yuuri, arms still crossed*
Yuuri - "Wolf..." *fighting with himself/not sure what else to do*
Wolfram - *doesn't reply*
Yuuri - *takes the blond's shoulders, turning him to face him* "Hey..."
Wolfram - *continues to struggle against him*
Yuuri - *frowns, more at himself than Wolfram* "Stop that.... I love you...."
Wolfram - *still frowning, still pretending to ignore him*
Yuuri - *clenches his teeth together* "Please...."
Wolfram - *shakes his head*
Yuuri - *closes his eyes/still holding onto the boy's shoulders* "...."
Wolfram - *doesn't look at him*
Yuuri - "Don't make me...." *trails off/still fighting with himself*
Wolfram - *tries to shrug his hands off of his shoulders*
Yuuri - "Wolf... Stop..." *opens his eyes/still holding on*
Wolfram - *doesn't stop/tries to move away from him again*
Yuuri - "Wolf...." *still clenching his teeth/doesn't let him get away*
Wolfram - *doesn't pay any attention to him/swats at him in his efforts to get away*
Yuuri - *growls lightly/still doesn't let go*
Wolfram - *looks at him out of the corner of his eye, but does nothing more*
Yuuri - *closes his eyes for a moment to take a deep breath*
Wolfram - *looks away again* "Hmph!"
Yuuri - *before he could chicken out/quickly releases the boy's shoulder's/left hand gently pulling the boy's face to look at him/right quickly pulling back and swinging forward to slap the freakin' stubborn brat across the cheek/holding his breath so he doesn't pansy out*
Wolfram - *pushes Yuuri back and ducks out of the way*
Yuuri - "W-Wolfram!" *getting very flustered*
Wolfram - *turns away from him once more*
Yuuri - "Stop that! Please...."
Wolfram - *doesn't reply/he's too into it now to just give up*
Yuuri - *growls at himself/frustrated* "Hey!"
Wolfram - *sticks his tongue out at him childishly* XP
Yuuri - *stares at him for a moment/not sure what to think about that/frowns as he watches him* "Really...."
Wolfram - *sticks his nose in the air again*
Yuuri - *frowns angrily/grabs for the boy's wrists*
Wolfram - *yanks his arm away*
Yuuri - *moves in front of him to push him backwards on the bed*
Wolfram - *struggles to get away/pushes at him*
Yuuri - "Knock it off..." *pinning him by his upper arms*
Wolfram - *growls and glares at him*
Yuuri - *frowns/doesn't want to make him madder, but doesn't want to just let him get away with not talking to him*
Wolfram - *Still. Doesn't. Talk.*
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "You're really not going to talk to me?"
Wolfram - *doesn't answer, just glares at him*
Yuuri - "Fine..." *unpins him, but only for a moment/slides off the bed/grabs Wolfram's wrists to pull him off as well*
Wolfram - *looks at him/shocked/has no idea what he's doing*
Yuuri - *carefully takes him around the waist and lifts the boy to hang over his shoulder*
Wolfram - *shrieks in surprise* "YUURI!!!"
Yuuri - *grins* "You're talking to me again?"
Wolfram - *instantly clamps his mouth shut*
Yuuri - "You're sure?" *curious*
Wolfram - *says nothing*
Yuuri - "All right then..." *pads across the bedroom floor to the door, pulling it open*
Wolfram - *balls his hands into fists and starts hitting at Yuuri's back*
Yuuri - *winces - more at the cold floor than Wolfram's tantrum/pulls the door shut behind him*
Wolfram - *starts kicking with his legs, too*
Yuuri - "I'll drop you..." *still curious/slightly amused/starts making his way down the hall*
Wolfram - *is in no way scared by his threat*
Yuuri - *continues making his way down the hall* "You're sure you don't want to talk to me?"
Wolfram - *stops hitting him with one of his fists and lifts an arm to awkwardly yank on some of Yuuri's hair*
Yuuri - "Oww..." *teasing/stops in front of the door to his private bath/pulls the door open*
Wolfram - *continues to struggle against him in any way that he can*
Yuuri - *holds on tighter/pulls the door shut behind him/ makes his way towards the edge of the water* "Well?"
Wolfram - *nothing*
Yuuri - *stands on the edge/planning on going in too/grins* "This is your last chance...."
Wolfram - *hits at his back again*
Yuuri - *grins* "Oops..." *steps off the edge and into the deep end of the bath/holding tightly to the blond*
Wolfram - *shrieks loudly*
Yuuri - "Calm down... You'll wake up the castle..." *amused*
Wolfram - *is immediately struck with a wonderful idea/stops struggling/opens his mouth to shout as loud as he possibly can* "RAPE!!!!"
Yuuri - *frowns at him/pushing him all the way under the water/pulls him back up rather quickly* "Lying is bad..."
Wolfram - *sputters and coughs harshly/tries to shout again but ends up choking on some of the water*
Yuuri - "Hmm..." *thinking* "With the blizzard outside... You can't train very well, can you?" *curious/holds him cautiously over the water, just incase he has to push him under again*
Wolfram - *still coughing/utterly humiliated and angrier than before*
Yuuri - "Are you going to talk to me or do I have to kidnap you?"
Wolfram - *finishes coughing* "Let me go!!!"
Yuuri - *watches him* "I love you..."
Wolfram - *glares at him* "Let me go or I'll shout 'rape' again!"
Yuuri - *lets him go/mumbles under his breath/doesn't want to explain his absence to Gwendal*
Wolfram - *moves away from Yuuri/pissed now, although his eyes sting oddly* "Leave me alone!!"
Yuuri - "I thought you weren't talking to me..." *bitter*
Wolfram - "Shut up!! Now look at what you've done!! I'm all wet, you stupid wimp!!!"
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes* "That was the point..."
Wolfram - *splashes water at him*
Yuuri - *glares at him* "Right... That's going to do much..."
Wolfram - *splashes more water at him*
Yuuri - *annoyed, more with himself/splashes back*
Wolfram - *sputters again, continues to splash water at him*
Yuuri - *holds his breath/splashing back*
Wolfram - *moves closer so he can splash him head on*
Yuuri - *splashes him harder*
Wolfram - *continues to do the same*
Yuuri - *reaches past the splashing and pushes the blond back into the water*
Wolfram - *comes back up and coughs again/wiping water out of his face*
Yuuri - *stops splashing/watches him*
Wolfram - *continues to cough*
Yuuri - *instantly worried/cautiously moves closer*
Wolfram - *chokes a little bit, then resumes coughing* "...stupid...”
Yuuri - *frowns/still worried* "Are you okay?"
Wolfram - *still coughing* "Does it-" *cough* "-look like I'm-" *coughs* "-okay?"
Yuuri - *moves closer to him, taking him lightly around the chest to bring him to the edge of the bath/pats his back worriedly*
Wolfram - *his coughing slows down, then eventually stops/wipes water out of his face again*
Yuuri - *watches him for a moment*
Wolfram - "Are you trying to kill me?!" *mad, and frustrated that his eyes still sting*
Yuuri - *quickly brushes Wolfram's wet bangs from his eyes/holding the blond's cheek with his other hand* "No...."
Wolfram - "You're so stupid..."
Yuuri - "You're so stubborn..."
Wolfram - "You got me all wet..." *trying to distract himself from the fact that he has water in his eyes, and it's not bath water*
Yuuri - *frowns worriedly at him still* "You weren't talking to me...."
Wolfram - "You were being stupid..."
Yuuri - "You were being unreasonable..." *brushes more of the blond's hair from his face*
Wolfram - *swats at Yuuri, then lifts a hand to rub at one of his eyes*
Yuuri - *moves his hand to pull Wolfram's hand away from his face/worried/curious* ".... What's wrong?"
Wolfram - "Nothing." *lies* "I just have something in my eye."
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "Right.... Like I'm going to believe that..." *gently pulls him closer, but keeps enough distance so he could see the boy's face*
Wolfram - *quietly* "Believe whatever the h*** you want to."
Yuuri - *quietly* "Tell me? I want to know what's wrong..."
Wolfram - "You... Everything was perfect!" *mad at himself for being so d*** emotional* "And then you ruined it by joking about getting married. You can't do that! You can't just..."
Yuuri - *startled* "Hey... That's what's wrong? Because I'm an idiot?" *not sure he believes him just yet*
Wolfram - "Of course you're an idiot!!"
Yuuri - "I know... And you already know that... But is that what's making you upset?" *brushes Wolfram's cheek very lightly*
Wolfram - *glares at him* "I'm not upset! I'm mad!"
Yuuri - *frowns at him/not buying it*
Wolfram - *rubs at his other eye, frowning*
Yuuri - *pulls the other hand away from Wolfram's face/holding both hands in his* "... Wolf..."
Wolfram - *doesn't look at him*
Yuuri - *pulls the blond's hands to his lips to kiss them* ".... I love you...."
Wolfram - *sniffles, and then lets out another cough in the hopes of hiding it* "You suck at proving it."
Yuuri - "I really do want to marry you...." *watches him/definitely worried*
Wolfram - "Shut up! I don't... I don't want to talk about it anymore!"
Yuuri - *stares at him/slightly alarmed* "You said it was one of the most important things to you..." *frowns/upset* ".... You're.... you're not having second thoughts about it... Are you?"
Wolfram - "No!!!"
Yuuri - "Then what do you want me to do? To prove to you that I love you?" *not entirely convinced himself about Wolfram's answer*
Wolfram - "Just... just... I don't know!" *starting to confuse himself now/doesn't really know what he's angry about any more*
Yuuri - *watches him/upset/worried* ".... Can you tell me why the wedding is so important to you?" *curious/really wanting to know*
Wolfram - "Because... it just is..."
Yuuri - *even more curious/a bit confused* "But... why?"
Wolfram - "I don't know! Because it is!"
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "That's all?"
Wolfram - *getting worked up* "I don't know!"
Yuuri - "You can tell me anything, you know... I'll listen..." *switches both of Wolfram's hands into one of his/brushes the blond's wet hair with his now freed hand*
Wolfram - *quieter* "But I don't know... I just... I'm just confused and... and wet... and... dammit!" *turns his face away, really wishing he could scrub at his eyes again/feeling stupid and pathetic*
Yuuri - *pulls him closer/staring intently into his eyes* ".... Wolf..."
Wolfram - *frowning* "... what?"
Yuuri - "I love you..."
Wolfram - *quietly* "I love you, too."
Yuuri - *brushes his hair some more* "I'm sorry.... I should have known better..."
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "Just shut up about it."
Yuuri - "Are you still mad at me?" *watches*
Wolfram - *shakes his head again* "... not really..."
Yuuri - *lets out a sigh of relief* ".... I'm sorry I got you wet..."
Wolfram - *sniffs lightly/shrugs a bit* "... can I have my hands back?"
Yuuri - *blinks at him* "What will you do when I give them back?"
Wolfram - *he just shakes his head*
Yuuri - *frowns/slowly releases his hands*
Wolfram - *brings his hand to his face to stubbornly scrub at his eyes again*
Yuuri - *instantly pulls his hands away from his face again* "Wolfram... Is that all that's bothering you?"
Wolfram - "Is what all that's bothering me?"
Yuuri - "Me being stupid about the wedding.... Are you telling me everything?"
Wolfram - "Why wouldn't I be?"
Yuuri - *frowns at him* "You've said earlier that it's hard for you to tell me how you feel...."
Wolfram - *still scrubbing at his eyes a bit* "I'm not hiding anything from you."
Yuuri - "Fine..." *sinks down into the water to scoop the boy up in his arms*
Wolfram - "No..." *struggles* "Please, put me down. I'm tired of feeling so pathetic!"
Yuuri - "No..." *stops/watching him/slowly puts him down* "....."
Wolfram - *looks away from him*
Yuuri - *takes his hand instead/starts wading over to the stairs*
Wolfram - *allows Yuuri to lead him*
Yuuri - *makes his way up and out of the water/instantly goes over to the stack of towel and pulls one open to place around Wolfram*
Wolfram - *softly* "I can do it myself."
Yuuri - *mumbles/angry with himself for being such an idiot* "I don't care..." *opens another towel to place over Wolfram's wet hair/starts to pat him dry*
Wolfram - *just stands there, letting him do whatever he wants*
Yuuri - *continues to pat him, rubbing his hair lightly with the towel to get most of the water out*
Wolfram - *sniffles lightly*
Yuuri - *suddenly caves in/wraps his arms tightly around the boy*
Wolfram - *shivers* "Can we just go back to our room? I'm cold and wet."
Yuuri - *winces/slowly pulls away/nods* "Can I carry you though? The floor will be freezing..."
Wolfram - "So? Aren't you cold, too?"
Yuuri - *frowns* "You'll freeze...."
Wolfram - "I'm not a child."
Yuuri - "I don't care... Can I carry you or not?"
Wolfram - "No." *shakes his head* "I don't want you to treat me like a child."
Yuuri - *clenches his teeth together* "I'm not treating you like a child..."
Wolfram - *turns away* "Can we just go? Please?"
Yuuri - "Fine..." *grabs another towel to throw over the blond first, though/pushes him lightly from behind towards the door/starting to shiver a bit himself*
Wolfram - *doesn't say anything more, simply allows Yuuri to push him out*
Yuuri - *pulls the door open only to be met by a slightly large group of worried and curious guards/sweatdrops* "Midnight swim?"
Wolfram - *mutters* "...stupid."
Yuuri - *frowns at Wolfram* "It's your fault..." *waves at the guards* "Everything's fine, go back to your posts..." *starts to lead the blond quickly down the hall*
Wolfram - *mumbles* "It's not my fault. You didn't have to try to drown me."
Yuuri - "I didn't try to drown you... I jumped in as well..."
Wolfram - "You pushed me under twice."
Yuuri - "You were yelling!"
Wolfram - *doesn't reply*
Yuuri - "Just move..." *pushes him to the bedroom door and pulls it open/shivering more now/stupid for not grabbing a towel for himself*
Wolfram - *moves away from Yuuri once he enters the room/walks across to the closet to begin changing into something warm/stops and stands there quietly*
Yuuri - *shivering/hurrying over to his own closet to get on something dry as well*
Wolfram - *glares at him*
Yuuri - *doesn't look at him/tosses his wet shirt into the hamper and starts digging for a dry one*
Wolfram - *turns away/still doesn't move/glaring at the closet*
Yuuri - *finishes pulling on dry pants before looking up at him/frowning/brushes his wet hair from his face/shaking lightly* "What?"
Wolfram - *glares at him again/frowns* "I don't have another clean nightgown."
Yuuri - *blinks at him* "Do... Do you want to wear some of my pajamas?"
Wolfram - *pouts* "They won't... fit right... will they?"
Yuuri - *gawks at him* "Does it matter?!"
Wolfram - *shrugs, but doesn't say anything else/doesn't move either*
Yuuri - "Forget it... You're wearing some of mine--" *starts digging through his clothes, then stops* "......"
Wolfram - *turns to watch him carefully*
Yuuri - *growls lightly/pulls his own shirt back off and tosses it at the blond*
Wolfram - *squeaks lightly in surprise, but catches it/glares at him* "What was that for?"
Yuuri - *mumbles/embarrassed* "I don't have any clean clothes either..."
Wolfram - *snorts* "Stupid..." *removes his wet clothes and puts the shirt on/it's longer on him than it is on Yuuri, but still way shorter than one of his nightgowns/he tugs at it awkwardly, blushing*
Yuuri - *watches him/wraps his arms around his chest/mumbles* "Perfect fit..."
Wolfram - *mutters* "Pervert..."
Yuuri - *eyes narrow* "Yeah, that's me..."
Wolfram - *blushes more, then looks away, still tugging at the shirt/frowns a bit, pouting/whispers* "I'm sorry..."
Yuuri - *blinks/startled* "F-for what?"
Wolfram - *looks down at the floor, glaring at his feet* "For being a brat."
Yuuri - *tilts his head/watching him* "You're fine... Don't worry about it... At least you're not a coldhearted jerk like me..."
Wolfram - *shrugs*
Yuuri - *frowns* "Wolf..."
Wolfram - *looks back up at him* "Yes?"
Yuuri - *shivering/frowns/stares off to the side* "You should probably get under the blankets...."
Wolfram - "So should you."
Yuuri - "I'm fine... I have to dry my hair anyway..." *steps closer to Wolfram to snatch up one of the discarded towels*
Wolfram - *shuffles nervously on his feet*
Yuuri - *places the towel over his head so he can't see the blond/softly* "Go... I'll be there in a minute..."
Wolfram - *nods and walks to the bed/climbs up and slips under the covers, trying to get comfortable/tugs at Yuuri's shirt again, frowning/mutters under his breath* "Damn thing rides up too easily..."
Yuuri - *hears him/grins from under the towel/quickly rubs his hair as dry as possible/tosses the towel into the hamper/makes his way over to the bed as well and climbs in*
Wolfram - *doesn't look at him and continues to try and get the shirt to work properly/blushes*
Yuuri - *watches him/softly* "Do you want my pants too?"
Wolfram - *blushes bright red/shouts nervously* "No!!! Keep them on!!"
Yuuri - *grins/amused* "You're sure?"
Wolfram - "Yes, I'm sure!!! You pervert!!!"
Yuuri - "Fine, fine..." *watches him/grinning* "It looks good on you..."
Wolfram - "glares at him/grumbling* "You perverted old man..."
Yuuri - *grins wider* "I'm younger than you..."
Wolfram - *sticks his tongue out at him* "You look older..."
Yuuri - *laughs* "I guess I act older too..."
Wolfram - *scrunches up his nose, but doesn't say anything/crosses his arms*
Yuuri - *still grinning* "Stop that, your face will freeze that way...."
Wolfram - *growls/launches himself at him and pushes Yuuri down onto the bed/sits on his stomach and glares down at him*
Yuuri - *blinks/shocked/tries to push himself up* "What the heck was that?"
Wolfram - *puts a hand to his chest and pushes him back down* "That was me proving to you that you don't have absolute power over me. I can still push you down."
Yeah... because Wolfram is beast like that... XP So yeah, that's all for this bit... GOSH, Yuuri! You're such a pervert!! <3 Sigh... Still cutting off around ten/thirteen pages for each bit 'cause I'm not sure how muc LJ will let me post... So just to be on the safe side... OH! If you're paying attention to what they're saying... a lot of it comes back to haunt them later... Like... seriously... XD; Mikage and I didn't even do a lot of it on purpose... and then we laugh when we read back this far... because it's freakin' hilarious... But anyway~ Thanks for reading~!
