Part Fourteen - Swing, Battah Battah!
Wolfram - *sleeps for more than a few hours, before slowly waking around sunset/his eyes open slowly and he lifts his head to look around the room, a little confused, before his memory catches up with him*
Yuuri - *still asleep with his face buried in the pillow next to Wolfram's head/arm still loosely around him*
Wolfram - *plops back down onto the bed after his quick look around the room, grumbling under his breath about unintentionally falling asleep/yawns, still a bit tired, but more hungry than anything else/quickly remembers that they were supposed to go eat/looks to Yuuri and smiles lightly at him*
Yuuri - *twitches lightly at the movement under his arm/subconsciously moves closer/mumbles in his sleep* "Wolfram..."
Wolfram - "Yuuri..." *lifts a hand to slide it through his hair*
Yuuri - *twitches again, coming slowly out of his sleep* "Hmmm...?"
Wolfram - *softly, still smiling at him* "Wake up, silly. You weren't supposed to go to sleep."
Yuuri - *slowly opens his eyes to blink at him, then closes them again to nuzzle against him* "Hmm...."
Wolfram - *keeps lovingly stroking his hair* "Aren't you hungry?"
Yuuri - *stomach growls in response before he could nod his head*
Wolfram - *laughs at him, then leans in to kiss the side of his face* "You should wake up before your stomach eats itself for dinner."
Yuuri - *groans at the thought/carefully pushes himself to sit up, eyes still closed/lifts a hand to rub at his eyes*
Wolfram - *watches him, concerned, before sitting up himself* "I'm sorry. You don't have to if you're tired. You should rest more."
Yuuri - *shakes his head, opening his eyes/smiling at him* "I'm fine... Just a little sleepy... I'll be awake in a minute or two."
Wolfram - *smiles at him before yawning again, lifting a hand to cover his mouth as he does so* "...why didn't you tell me you were so tired?"
Yuuri - *blinks at him, then shrugs* "I didn't know..."
Wolfram - *nods, understanding/hadn't truly realized how tired he'd been until he'd flopped down on the bed earlier/smirks, teasing* "You failed in your task to keep me awake."
Yuuri - *hangs his head in mock shame* "Sorry... I'll do better next time..."
Wolfram - *shakes his head, smiling softly* "It's okay. I was tired. I think I actually needed the nap."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes/more awake now/teasing* "Really?? I would have never guessed that!"
Wolfram - *lightly punches his shoulder, before leaning in to kiss him*
Yuuri - *mock winces, then kisses him back*
Wolfram - *doesn't allow it to last too long or become too deep, pulling back after only a few seconds to stare into his eyes* "Are you awake enough yet or should I give you a little longer?"
Yuuri - *tries leaning in more as he pulls back, but gives up, pulling back himself to pout* "I'm awake..."
Wolfram - *smirks* "Then are you ready to go eat?"
Yuuri - *stomach growls/laughs lightly* "I guess I am..."
Wolfram - *laughs back at him before sliding off of the bed and standing up/stretches a bit as he tries to force the rest of his own sleepiness away*
Yuuri - *yawns a bit, then gets up as well, slowly making his way to the table to snatch up his hat and shove it on his head/grumbles something about just shaving his hair off*
Wolfram - *chooses to ignore his mumbled words, not liking the idea at all but knowing Yuuri wasn't serious about it... or at least he hoped he wasn't/straightens his clothing as best as he can, sighing as he realizes there isn't much he can do to get all of the wrinkles out/gives up and figures it doesn't matter since everyone else in town most likely won't be very well dressed either*
Yuuri - *watching him as he tries patting out the wrinkles/shakes his head, then moves to wrap his arms around him, pulling him into a hug* "You look beautiful... Don't worry too much..."
Wolfram - *leans into him, lifting his arms to hug him back lightly* "I know, it's just... habit."
Yuuri - *laughs* "A very cute habit..."
Wolfram - *snorts softly* "You have some pretty cute habits yourself."
Yuuri - *snorts as well* "Uh huh... I'm sure..."
Wolfram - "It's true." *pulls back, gets up onto his tip-toes, and leans foreword to kiss the tip of his nose* "Now, come on. Let's get you fed."
Yuuri - *pouts at him* "Fine...." *trying not to be curious, but can't help it* "Wait... like what?"
Wolfram - *tilts his head curiously, a little surprised by his sudden questioning* "What do you mean?"
Yuuri - *raises an eyebrow* "My cute habits..."
Wolfram - "Well..." *thinks for a moment* "When you wake up, you're just the slightest bit crabby, and you can't take a joke at all. You're constantly putting your hands on my waist, and I like how you grumble under your breath like you think no one can hear you."
Yuuri - *blinks at him for a moment, then flushes lightly/didn't think anyone could actually hear him when he grumbled* "Oh..." *pauses* "I'm crabby when I wake up?
Wolfram - "Just a little, and only sometimes... and not for very long either. But it's cute when you are." *smiles at him*
Yuuri - *pouts lightly/still flushed* "Oh...."
Wolfram - "And then you always refuse to get out of bed when you should..."
Yuuri - *opens his mouth to argue, but then closes it/tries a different tactic* "I do to get up when I should!"
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "You do not... and then you start moaning and groaning about paperwork."
Yuuri - *makes the impression of a fish for a few seconds* "I.... I do not...."
Wolfram - "Yes, you do. All the time." *still smiling*
Yuuri - *pouts/looking away* "W-well... Are we going to go eat or what?"
Wolfram - "If you want." *pulls away to turn towards the door* "You're the one whose stomach is talking." *of course he's starving, too, but he doesn't say anything about it*
Yuuri - *frowns/slightly disappointed that he pulled away so easily* "Okay.... That's fine..."
Wolfram - *looks at him and smiles, before reaching out to grab onto his hand* "Come on."
Yuuri - *sighs, but holds his hand/goes to follow him, pulling down at his hat some more*
Wolfram - *opens the door and walks out, closing it behind them, leading Yuuri down the hallway again, squeezing his hand slightly* "Tomorrow after we wake up and take another bath, we'll find a place to get married, okay?"
Yuuri - *quickly brightens up at the thought/smiles at him, squeezing his hand gently back* "Okay..."
Wolfram - *trots down the stairs and heads out of the little inn/walks next to Yuuri as they start strolling through the town, looking for a tavern/smiles up at him* "So are you going to try some rum?"
Yuuri - *eyes grow a bit wide/sputters/had completely forgotten about that* "I... I guess... If you want me to..."
Wolfram - *shrugs* "Do what you want to do. I'm not going to force you to drink it."
Yuuri - *frowns/thinks of himself as a chicken for not wanting to even try/shakes his head* "No... I want to try... I just don't know... what'll taste good..." *looks around for what might be a tavern as well/holding tightly to Wolfram's hand to make sure he didn't slip in the snow*
Wolfram - "Drink whatever you want. Rum, ale, gin... it's your choice. Try a little of each, or just one. It doesn't matter." *grins* "And if you wimp out, you can always stick with water."
Yuuri - *pouts* "I'm not a wimp..."
Wolfram - "Yes, you are." *continues searching for a tavern/eventually they come across one along another little street, the sounds of life inside spilling out into the darkening evening/they enter/there's a bar along one wall filled with a group of rowdy men, and circular tables spread out randomly throughout the room; most of them are filled, though there are a few left empty/there's a man in the corner playing the accordion and smoking a pipe/everyone is loud and boisterous, laughing, drinking and eating after a long day's work/the only females present are the serving wenches, who meander through the tables with plates of hot food and foaming drinks/Wolfram leads Yuuri to one of the empty tables*
Yuuri - *blinks curiously at the noise/hasn't actually been into a tavern for very long, especially at peak hours/follows Wolfram to the table, sitting down next to him/ducks out of the way as a much larger man stumbles past them to get to the bar/shoots a somewhat nervous glance at Wolfram*
Wolfram - *smiles at him brightly and sits himself into a wooden chair, anxious to see his reaction to everything* "Sit down. Don't look so nervous; they'll know it's your first time in here."
Yuuri - *laughs a bit nervously, but does whatever Wolfram tells him/really not wanting to stand out, especially if it was as simple as being nervous/can't help but glance around curiously at everything/doesn't really look at him while talking, he was more distracted by the group of men playing some kind of weird drinking game* "S-so... What are you getting to eat?"
Wolfram - *shrugs* "I don't particularly care. Anything's better than having bread and cheese everyday, especially if it's hot." *follows Yuuri's gaze to the men playing the drinking game, then turns back to grin at him* "You think they're loud now; wait until they start singing."
Yuuri - *laughs nervously again, forcing his eyes away from them and back to Wolfram* "So this is how it's usually like?"
Wolfram - *nods* "At night, yeah. It's usually much quieter during the day because most of the men are working."
Yuuri - *nods as if he understood completely* "Ah, I see... That does make sense..." *glances up as one of the women with the low cut dresses came over to take their order* "Uhhh...."
Tavern Wench - *of course she's wearing a low cut dress - it comes with the job, the after - that shows off a good bit of cleavage/glances at the two new comers with a sweet smile as she wipes her hands clean on her apron* "Well, now, I haven't seen you two around here before. You passin' through or here to stay?" *spares Yuuri a flirty little smile*
Wolfram - *isn't as jealous as he probably should be, and just sits back to see how Yuuri will react*
Yuuri - *twitches lightly in panic/glances over at Wolfram for help, but then turns back to at least answer her... or try* "Uhh... J-just passing through, I guess..." *what else was he supposed to say??*
Wench - *looks surprised* "You're pretty brave to be going out an' about during the winter. An' the weather's been so bad this year, too." *continues to smile at him, batting her long lashes, before remembering that she has another job to do besides shamelessly flirting with the customers* "Well, I'm sure you're both as tired as can be. You just sit back, relax and have yourselves a good ol' time. Is there anything I can get you boys to drink?"
Wolfram - "I'll just have water." *gives Yuuri an expectant look/raises an eyebrow at him* "Yuuri...?"
Yuuri - *mouths wordlessly at her for a moment/throwing another nervous glance over at Wolfram, but then turns back to the woman* "Uh... Yeah... What's your favorite drink?" *as if he knew what to order... and he wasn't about to be called a wimp for getting water*
Wolfram - *under his breath* "...wimp..."
Wench - "Oh, dear, I'm not really much of a drinker myself." *looks at him curiously* "This your first time drinking?"
Yuuri - *panics a bit more* "O-oh... Well... I'll just... have..." *tries thinking about what Wolfram suggested earlier/squeaks a little, but covers it up with a cough* "Rum?.... I-I'll have some rum...." *looks even more nervous now*
Wench - *laughs lightly, placing her hands on her hips in a playful manner* "Well, I guess I was right, then. I took a look at you boys the moment you made your way in an' thought, 'I bet they haven't ever had more than a glass of wine in their lives.'" *gives him a bright smile* "I can get you some rum if that's what you want, handsome, but you've got to be sure of your choice. Rum, gin, ale, whiskey, or I can even find you some wine. I know we've got some."
Yuuri - *looks like he just wants to get water, just to make things simple, but doesn't think that would rest well... and being called wimp... again.... wasn't on the top of his list* "I'll... have some rum... Whatever you have... I'll try that first... then maybe something else... and if I like that, then I'll probably try something else... I don't know... Just... anything..." *trying not to get too sarcastic or panicked sounding*
Wench - *laughs a little more, shaking her head at how adorable he is* "Then I'll be back in just a little bit. You sit tight, handsome." *goes off to fill their drinks*
Wolfram - *leans foreword in his chair, resting an elbow on the table and bringing his palm up to cradle his chin, grinning* "Hopefully you'll stop stuttering once you've gotten a few drinks in you."
Yuuri - *pouts at him/fidgeting nervously in his seat/forces himself not to stutter* "I'm not stuttering..."
Wolfram - "Stammering, then."
Yuuri - *huffs* "N-no I'm not..." *curses at himself under his breath/jumps lightly as a chair near them was thrown back as a group of men got up to leave, making room for another, wilder looking group* "This is just... new..."
Wolfram - "You'll get used to it quickly." *continues grinning at him, leaning a little bit more over the table* "I think our little serving maid has a bit of a thing for you. She couldn't keep her eyes off of you."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes/grumbles under his breath about how she was probably just thinking how stupid he looked with a hat on, inside/shakes his head* "Well... it's still new..."
Wolfram - "Hmmm..." *his smile drops a bit and he shoots him a concerned look* "We could have gone somewhere else if this bothers you. I don't want you to be nervous."
Yuuri - *quickly shakes his head/turns to smile at him* "No.... I like new things. I'll be fine in a few minutes, probably."
Wolfram - *his smile slowly returns* "If you say so..." *averts his gaze to see the serving wench already coming back with their drinks at hand*
Wench - *stops at the table* "Alright, now, some water for the gorgeous blond-" *sets Wolfram's drink in front of him* "-and some rum for handsome over here." *puts Yuuri's drink down in front of him as well, then wipes her hands on her apron out of habit* "Would you boys like something to eat, too? You must be hungry. Have you been traveling long?"
Yuuri - *eyes the drink in front of him rather nervously/pulls his eyes away to look up at her again* "I'll have whatever the special is... As long as it's hot." *stole that idea from Wolfram/turns to him to grin, trying to act normal* "Wolf?"
Wolfram - *smiles* "I'll have the same."
Wench - "Alright, then. Two specials coming right up." *she turns to leave, but not before pinching Yuuri's cheek playfully, giggling as she passes him*
Yuuri - *squirms a bit, flushing lightly at the attention/turns back to focus silently on the drink in front of him*
Wolfram - *remains grinning, leaning across the table to teasingly pinch his other cheek* "See? I told you she likes you."
Yuuri - *flushes a bit darker, turning to pout at Wolfram some* "So?"
Wolfram - "'So?' It just proves my point that you're irresistible."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes again/grumbles about how it didn't really matter if anyone else thought him irresistible/absentmindedly pulls the drink closer to take a sip/blinks, pulling back some, a bit surprised at the taste, but then tries it again*
Wolfram - *raises an eyebrow at him, studying him intently* "Do you like it?"
Yuuri - *blinks at him, pulling the glass away after a long sip* "It's okay..."
Wolfram - "Good. I wouldn't want you to be disappointed."
Yuuri - *sighs* "Why would I be disappointed? I didn't really know what to expect in the first place..." *takes a longer sip*
Wolfram - "True..." *starts sipping at his water, looking around the place, trying not to smirk as Yuuri continued with his drink/absently watches two men at a nearby table engage in an arm wrestling match*
Yuuri - *pulls back after a bit to shake his head some* "It's making my cheeks warm feel warm..."
Wolfram - *looks back at him, curious* "Already?" *laughs at him* "Don't drink too fast, you wimp."
Yuuri - *raises an eyebrow at him in mid-sip/pulls back some* "I'm not..."
Wolfram - "Uh huh..." *takes a few more sips of his water, grinning in amusement as some of the men still at the bar start slurring random songs*
Yuuri - *brings the glass back up to his lips before following Wolfram's gaze around the room* "So that's how Conrad was like? Only louder?"
Wolfram - *laughs lightly* "A little more obnoxious actually. You'll have to see it sometime. It's quite amusing."
Yuuri - *laughs a bit* "I'll bet it was... " *glances around some more at the liveliness of the place* "It's not so bad here.... Once you get used to it..." *sips some more*
Wolfram - *gives him a pointed look* "I told you so. Maybe next time you'll actually believe me."
Yuuri - *gives him a look of mock shock* "I do believe you!"
Wolfram - *smirks at him* "I'm sure..."
Yuuri - *nods, taking another long sip/pulls away some* "And you have to start believing me when I say things will be fine."
Wolfram - "Hmmm... maybe I'll start believing you once we've finally gotten married."
Yuuri - *looks up/excited* "We're definitely looking for a place tomorrow, right?"
Wolfram - *smiles at him lovingly* "Of course. Once we do, there won't be anything anyone else can do to stop us."
Yuuri - *grins happily back* "Well good. I don't want to have anyone stop us. It'll be much better once we get it done."
Wolfram - "Considering we've gone about things differently than most people..." *thinks to himself for a moment* "Even though we've sort of done the whole marriage and family thing out of order... are you still going to get me a ring?"
Yuuri - *nods quickly a few times* "Of course! I'm taking you back to Earth to pick one out!"
Wolfram - *looks excited, smiling brighter* "Really?"
Yuuri - *grins wider* "Yeah! And I have to take you to the movies too. And I bet mom would want to have a big party... Then I'll show you around town... and whatever you want!"
Wolfram - *smiles more, then the look on his face straightens out as he thinks on the idea a bit* "Won't that look weird, though? I thought two men don't usually do those sorts of things there."
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "I don't care if it looks weird to them..."
Wolfram - *a little surprised* "You don't?"
Yuuri - *shakes his head again* "Nope."
Wolfram - *doesn't really know what to say, since every time Yuuri had talked about it before it had seemed as if it made him feel awkward/is saved from having to respond by the reappearance of the tavern wench*
Wench - *stops by the table again with two large, steaming bowls of beef stew at hand/carefully places them down in front of both young men, still smiling brightly* "There you go; two specials." *looks to Yuuri again, and her smile grows bigger* "Can I get you some more rum, handsome? You look like you're just about done there. Or would you like to try something else?"
Yuuri - *grins absentmindedly up at the woman* "Umm... I'll try some gin now, please." *turns back to Wolfram* "Do you need more water?"
Wolfram - *shakes his head a little* "No, I'm fine for now."
Wench - *nods to both of them before going off to get Yuuri another drink, patting him on the shoulder this time as she passes*
Yuuri - *grins back at Wolfram* "I think you'll like it on Earth. I mean... You've been there before... But that wasn't nearly long enough to take in everything. And I'll have to see about where we could go for dinner or something while we're there...." *pauses, thinking* "Or I could just ask mom... She probably has everything picked out and ready...." *rolls his eyes, grinning*
Wolfram - *smiles at him as he starts eating his food, carefully blowing on it for a few seconds so it doesn't burn his tongue off* "Your mother takes good care of you." *chews and swallows, nearly closing his eyes and drooling as the delicious, hot food starts to fill his starving belly*
Yuuri - "Yeah, she really does." *turns back to his own food, following Wolfram's example by carefully blowing on it before shoveling it into his mouth/surprised on how hungry he actually was*
Wolfram - *laughs at him lightly, falling silent as he continues to eat*
Yuuri - *shovels more food into his mouth, happily chewing and swallowing/too busy eating to really pay attention to much else*
Wench - *comes back to the table only a few minutes later, setting the gin down in front of Yuuri* "I'm sorry it took me a little longer this time, handsome. It's getting a little rowdier in here." *still smiles at him, bending over a bit more than what was really necessary, further exposing her rather ample cleavage*
Yuuri - *waves it off/smiling at her* "It's fine. The food's great, so I hardly noticed!"
Wench - *continues to smile* "Well, you just let me know if you need anything else, okay?" *goes off with another light pinch to his cheek*
Yuuri - "Okay!" *drops his spork into the bowl to reach for the drink, quickly taking a sip/pulls back after a second to look at Wolfram* "Are you okay?"
Wolfram - *looks up at him, a little surprised that he'd ask* "Yeah, I'm fine." *smiles at him warmly* "You pay any less attention to her and she'll end up throwing herself into your lap to get more of it." *chews on more of his food, before taking a few more sips of water*
Yuuri - *blinks at him/surprised* "Really?" *pauses, thinking about it* "I haven't really noticed..."
Wolfram - "No, you wouldn't, would you?" *begins to wonder why he'd ever been jealous before, since it now seemed apparent to him that Yuuri hardly cared about anyone else*
Yuuri - *shrugs, taking another sip of his drink/pulls back to wrinkle his nose a bit, but then shrugs again and takes another sip*
Wolfram - *laughs at him lightly, still eating his food and occasionally glancing around to people watch*
Yuuri - *pauses in sipping on his drink to go back to his food every now and then/pausing again to glance up at Wolfram* "Is that enough for you? Did you want to get more?"
Wolfram - *shakes his head* "No, this is fine." *takes another sip of his water*
Yuuri - *smiles at him* "This is nice. I like it..." *pulls his glass closer for another long sip*
Wolfram - *raises an eyebrow, laughing again* "The alcohol?"
Yuuri - *pulls back, blinking at him* "Huh? Oh, no! I meant going to places like this... With you... It's nice..."
Wolfram - "It is, isn't it." *really likes it, too, even though they aren't doing anything more than sitting around and eating in a noisy room surrounded by a couple dozen rambunctious men* "We rarely get a lot of time to do things together back at the-" *stops himself from talking about the castle in front of these people* "-at home."
Yuuri - *nods his head* "Yeah... I think we should definitely run away together more often." *takes another sip*
Wolfram - "Next time can we do it in the summer?" *grins* "When it's warmer and we can bathe in the lakes and streams instead of trying to find a village with public baths?"
Yuuri - *nods again* "Yeah! But then it would be hot and then you'd probably get annoyed with me smothering you!" *laughs* "Though, I really don't think I'd mind if you slept as close as you wanted all year long."
Wolfram - *raises an eyebrow, teasing* "If it got too hot I could always take my clothes off."
Yuuri - *grins, nodding more* "Yeah, that would work too. I wouldn't mind."
Wolfram - "I'm sure you wouldn't..." *tries to smother his laughter, shoving another spork full of stew into his mouth to stop it/chews, then swallows*
Yuuri - *takes another long sip of his drink/eyes the group of singing men curiously* "They're really getting into it, aren't they?"
Wolfram - *nods* "It usually gets like this in these sorts of places, especially as the night gets later." *giggles a little and sings along quietly* "In days of old in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon;/And the King he was in great distress and the countries spirits flaggoned."
Yuuri - *watches him curiously/listening, and taking another long sip*
Wolfram - *sticks his tongue out at him* "There you go with your staring again..."
Yuuri - *sticks his tongue back out at him* "You said I could..."
Wolfram - "You're right. I did. Silly me." *picks up the song again at the next verse* "Said the King 'I wish to know your name,' but the knight said do not bother./'For the name of a knight of the realm' says he, 'is the same as any other.'"
Yuuri - *goes back to staring and listening to him/taking another sip* "You have a really pretty voice.... You should sing more..."
Wolfram - *gives him a skeptical look, laughing* "I'm not even trying." *continues anyway, grinning at him* "Said the King 'Tonight in my daughter's bed you shall take your leisure,/And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of exhausting pleasure.'"
Yuuri - *sips more/listening more to his voice than the words/staring at his lips as they moved*
Wolfram - *still grinning at him as he continued, though beginning to wonder if he should take the drink away from him* "One daughter, she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste,/And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist./The other daughter, she was fair, the fairest in the town,/And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked from her small waist down."
Yuuri - *actually started paying attention to the lyrics enough to giggle lightly at them/quickly falling silent to hopefully listen to more as he sipped on his drink*
Wolfram - *grins even more as the song comes to a finish* "Well the knight he spends many an hour behind the castle wall,/But the ending to my story, dear, isn't what it seems at all,/For in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for his glory;/But he slept all night with the King instead, for this is a fairy story."
Yuuri - *stares at him for a moment before laughing out loud, grin spread all the way across his face* "I like that... It's funny."
Wolfram - *smiles back at him brightly* "I thought you'd enjoy it." *quickly finishes eating his food, then sips at the rest of his water*
Yuuri - *still grinning as he sipped on his drink more* "You should sing more. I like your voice."
Wolfram - *teasing* "Yes, you mentioned that just a moment ago, Your Ma-" *stops himself, cautiously looking around, but everyone else seemed either too drunk or not interested enough to pay attention/turns back to Yuuri with another grin/mocking* "-handsome."
Yuuri - *snorts some into his drink* "Am I?"
Wolfram - *still teasing* "The serving maid seems to think so."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes/teasing* "Oh... So you're the one that's paying attention to her... Maybe I should be jealous...?"
Wolfram - "Oh, no, you shouldn't be jealous of her. He's the one you should be worrying about." *nods to some random man sitting at a table near them with a group of his friends*
Yuuri - *eyes widen a bit to turn to look over his shoulder at him/frowns at him a bit then turns back to the blond* "He's not nearly as handsome as me. I don't see what's so interesting about him."
Wolfram - *shrugs, still playing a long with it* "He's got a strong chin. And he's rugged and seems very outgoing, and not nearly as uptight as the men back home." *smiles brightly* "I have a thing for scruffy looking men."
Yuuri - *frowns a bit more at Wolfram before shooting a glance over his shoulder again* "I'm not scruffy enough for you? And I'm not that uptight... My chin is strong..." *pouts a little in frustration/not really seeing what was so great about the other guy*
Wolfram - *is tempted to drop the ploy since he can tell Yuuri's getting a little defensive, but likes the sudden acceptance he's developed for his appearance* "And his hair is thick and long; I'd just love to run my hands through it. His shoulders are broad, too, and you can tell by the build of his body that he's used to manual labor."
Yuuri - *huffs more* "You run your hands through my hair all the time. And I thought you said you liked my shoulders. I play enough ball to be in just as much shape as that guy if not more. You can't just play and expect to win without training." *shoots a glare over his shoulder before going back to take another long sip of his drink*
Wolfram - *has to lift a hand and cover his mouth to hide his laughter for a moment/idly plays with his empty glass/still teasing* "And he keeps glancing over at me every once in a while, so I know he's interested." *lifts his hand to wave a little then, as if he were waving to the man in question, when said men was hardly looking his way at all*
Yuuri - *frowns even more, instantly sliding his chair around even closer to Wolfram so he could watch the man as well*
Wolfram - "Don't do that, silly. He'll stop if he knows you know what he's doing. He's fully aware that I'm with you."
Yuuri - *another huff* "Good. I want him to stop." *moves his arm to wrap around Wolfram's shoulder/still glaring in the direction of the man and shooting random other glares at anyone who looked their way*
Wolfram - *giggles and leans into him* "Just a minute ago he was looking at me so intently, I swear he was undressing me with his eyes."
Yuuri - *suddenly pulls away/pushes his chair back and begins to stand up to walk over and give the guy a piece of his mind*
Wolfram - *immediately grabs onto his arm to stop him/a little panicked/hadn't really expected him to react that much* "Yuuri, wait!" *can't say any more through his laughter*
Yuuri - *glares back at the blond* "He doesn't have any right to look at you like that. It's improper and... it really pisses me off..." *was about to pull away anyway, but decidedly sits back down growling about stupid guys and their stupid strong chins and stupid long hair under his breath/quickly crossing his arms over his chest*
Wolfram - *has to cover his mouth again to stop his laughter from continuing/it's at that moment that the man they'd previously been talking about actually does look up at him/Wolfram winces, and has to bite at his thumb to keep from laughing again, looking back to Yuuri*
Yuuri - *eyes grow wide/instantly stands back up, glaring at the man*
Wolfram - *can't do anything but sit there and watch, cringing inside when the man glares back - probably because he was offended that Yuuri seemed to have something against him for no reason, but Yuuri didn't know that*
Yuuri - *glares back at him, definitely not liking how he was caught and now distracted from looking at Wolfram* "How can you stand this??" *shoots a glance down at the blond*
Wolfram - "Uhhh... well..." *cringes more when the man stands up as well, seeming to challenge Yuuri - more like defending himself since Yuuri was the one who seemed to be challenging him* "Ummm..."
Yuuri - *his eyes grow wider/definitely not backing down now/grins sarcastically at the man* "What's your problem?"
Man - *looks a little disgruntled* "My problem? What the hell is your problem?"
Yuuri - *glares back* "I saw you staring at my fiancé."
Man - *sputters* "Staring?! I wasn't staring!"
Yuuri - *sarcastic* "Oh! So he's not good enough for you to stare at?"
Man - *looks back at him oddly, not really understanding where he was trying to go with that* "I have no idea what you're talking about. What are you so concerned about anyway? The way you're getting so defensive makes it seem as if your fiancé’s some sort of slut. What? Has he cheated on you before?"
Wolfram - *gawks at the man* "Uhhh..."
Yuuri - *eyes grow wider/trying his best now to not just haul off and punch the guy* "You're calling my fiancé a slut now?!"
Man - "Hey, you're the one accusing me of staring at him!! I guarantee I haven't been, and even if I had, what's it matter?! Unless you think he's gonna run off and come stay with me tonight." *smirks at him* "Jealous, are you?"
Yuuri - *flexes his fingers at his sides/trying to be rational about this/very skeptical* "So you weren't staring? It was a misunderstanding?" *highly doubts Wolfram would run off with someone else*
Wolfram - *quickly stands to his feet and places himself between them, feeling a little guilty now for getting Yuuri so worked up* "Yes, yes, it was a misunderstanding. Calm down." *turns to the man* "I'm sorry. He's drunk and I was teasing him. I didn't mean to get you involved."
Man - *glaring at Wolfram, obviously angry* "Oh, trying to start some trouble, are you?"
Wolfram - "No, that's isn't it! I-" *is cut off before he can finish when the man suddenly backhands him across the face, hard/yelps in surprise, not expecting it at all/inevitably looses his balance and crashes into one of the tables before falling on the floor/is thankful at least that the man had been smart enough not to hit him with the palm of his hand/lifts a hand to hold his stinging cheek as he immediately thinks of Yuuri, eyes wide as he looks up to him*
Yuuri - *mouth drops open, quickly backhanding him right back/yelling* "What the hell was that for?! He said it was a misunderstanding!" *quickly turns to see if Wolfram was okay* "Wolf?? Are you hurt??"
Wolfram - "I..." *doesn't know what to say*
Man - *pissed off* "He's the little bitch who was trying to start trouble!!" *grabs Yuuri by the shoulder, spins him back to face him, and punches him along his jaw*
Yuuri - *flinches from the punch, stumbling backwards some, but jumps right back up to punch him back, not bothering to hold back/seriously pissed* "You were the one that hit him!!!"
Man - *grunts at the hit, but turns back to him quickly, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth/most of the other people in the tavern have gathered around to watch* "You're the one who jumped to conclusions!! What? Having trouble keeping your own whore?!"
Yuuri - *not about to hit him if he doesn't absolutely deserve it/quickly lifts a hand to brush off the blood trailing down his chin from his lip/yelling back* "He is not a whore! I didn't know it was a misunderstanding! I was about to apologize if you hadn't gone and hit him!"
Man - *sarcastic* "Sure." *spits at Yuuri's feet* "You're just looking for a fight, aren't you, punk?"
Yuuri - *grits his teeth, but is otherwise unfazed* "No, I'm just looking to have a good time with my fiancé before we're married tomorrow."
Man - *still sarcastic* "Good luck with that. See if you can actually keep the little bitch then..."
Yuuri - *twitches and clenches his fists tighter* "What the hell do you mean by that? You don't know him! You just had to go and hit him while trying to clear up a misunderstanding!"
Wolfram - *watches the whole thing from the floor/eventually tries to stand to attempt clearing this whole mess up and apologize profusely to both Yuuri and the other guy, but he's pushed by one of the Man's angry, drunken friends and ends up stumbling back and tripping over a chair, yelping as he hits the ground again*
Yuuri - *seriously getting pissed/turns, completely ignoring the others and going to kneel down by Wolfram, reaching out to help pull him up/spares him an apologetic frown, but doesn't say anything*
Wolfram - *winces as he's helped up, turning to look up at Yuuri, but sees the Man advancing on the both of them again/the Man looks as if he has every intention to hit Yuuri while his back is turned, but ends up stumbling in his half drunken state and missing... sort of/he ends up pulling Yuuri's hat off instead of what he'd originally intended to do/the entire tavern, which had previously been loud and filled with laughter and cheers for a fight, now fell deathly silent*
Yuuri - *curses under his breath at the silence, obviously knowing what was happening/he wasn't that drunk yet/pauses, still ignoring everyone to start to brush Wolfram off/trying his best not to do anything too rash/quietly to Wolfram* "Are you okay?"
Wolfram - "I..." *too surprised to say much of anything, though his face still stung where he'd been hit and he knew he was going to have a couple of bruises later* "I'm fine..."
Man - *staring from Yuuri, to the hat in his hand, and then back to Yuuri/shocked* "What the hell...?"
Yuuri - *clenches his teeth and rolls his eyes/carefully wraps his arm around Wolfram before turning back to the man to hold his hand out for the hat* "If you don't mind...?" *doesn't even bother asking for him to apologize to Wolfram because he knew it would no longer be for the right reasons*
Man - *gapes at him, holding the hat out to him with a lifeless hand* "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty! I-I didn't know! I swear!" *whispers begin to erupt within the tavern*
Yuuri - *lets out a pained, very frustrated sigh before taking the hat from him and shoving it back on his head with one hand* "Yeah... Well... It was my fault for jumping to conclusions... Like you said... Sorry..." *glances back over to Wolfram/quietly again* "Can you walk?"
Wolfram - *quickly nods at him, still a little shell-shocked* "We need to leave, Yuuri. We need to leave now."
Yuuri - *nods at him and starts to move, but pauses and reaches into his pocket to pull out some money to pay for their food and drinks, dropping it on the table/adjusts his arm around the blond before quickly leading him towards the door/mumbles over his shoulder* "Sorry... Didn't mean to cause a scene..."
Wolfram - *they exit the establishment, which is still blanketed by utter silence/begin walking down the street/looks up at him* "I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." *reaches up to touch the bruise forming along Yuuri's jaw, and the blood on his chin* "Are you okay?"
Yuuri - *still somewhat annoyed, but is quickly calmed down/blinks at the touch, and looks down at Wolfram to inspect his cheek* "I'm fine... What about you?" *frowns lightly, hearing a sudden outburst behind them as people started to exit the tavern and watch them make their way down the street, some talking anxiously to their friends about 'You'll never guess who was just in here!'/sighs, then leans down to gently kiss Wolfram's cheek* "I'm the one who should be sorry... I should have been able to control myself more..."
Wolfram - *quickly shakes his head* "No, I... it's my fault. I shouldn't have been joking around like that. You're half drunk, Yuuri, I should have known..." *looks back to glance anxiously at the rowdy people, then turns to look back up at Yuuri* "We need to leave this place. We can't stay here. We should go back to the inn and get our things and... try to find somewhere else." *he doesn’t really want to, considering it's dark and cold, but they really don't have much of a choice now that they've been discovered*
Yuuri - *shakes his head* "Don't worry about it... I'm sorry... I didn't mean for you to get hurt..." *pauses to sigh again* "You're right... Let's get our things first... Maybe we'll be able to get out of here without much more trouble..." *carefully leads them back through the snowy street to the inn, keeping an arm around Wolfram to make sure he was okay... and so he didn't stumble too much*
Wolfram - *decides not to continuing arguing with him over whose fault it was, since he knows Yuuri will take all of the blame regardless/they make their way back to the inn with relatively little trouble, though the people are staring far more now than they had been before/enters, goes upstairs and into their room, and begins getting their things together quickly/turns to look at Yuuri again* "Are you okay to ride?"
Yuuri - *stands at the door, glancing out to make sure no one was following them/turns back to Wolfram and nods* "What about you? Are you going to be okay?"
Wolfram - *nods slowly* "I'm fine. I wasn't the one drinking."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes* "I wasn't drinking that much..." *holds out his hand for the bag once Wolfram was done packing*
Wolfram - "Well you obviously drank enough to get more violent than usual!"
Yuuri - *winces, especially at the word 'violent'* "Well... what was I supposed to have done?? Just let them get away with hitting you like that?"
Wolfram - "They were drunk too, Yuuri, and it was a misunderstanding! You hitting them back when they were like that wasn't going to solve anything!"
Yuuri - *looks away from him to stare mournfully at the floor* "I.... I'm sorry.... I should have been able to control myself... They just made me so mad.... I... I couldn't...."
Wolfram - *sighs and shakes his head* "Let's... let's not talk about this now. It's done. There's nothing we can do to change it. Let's just go. The sooner we get out of here, the better."
Yuuri - *nods and takes the bag, swinging it over his shoulder before stepping back out into the hall, pausing to wait for Wolfram to follow before making their way down the stairs/drops the key and money for the room off at the front desk and mumbling a "Sorry..." before turning to exit out the front door/exits the inn and looks up in surprise at their horses in front of them, ready to go, being lead by two young girls on a horse of their own/well, the older one was probably about Wolfram's age, but the little girl was much younger and only looked about six in human years/glances nervously from the girls down to Wolfram*
Wolfram - *blushes lightly and mumbles a quick 'thank you' to the two girls, immediately going to his own horse and hopping up into the saddle, waiting for Yuuri*
Older girl - *smiling happily at the two while adjusting her arm around her little sister, seated in front of her on the horse* "Big sis came runnin' into the stables as if the village had been lit on fire! Then she told us what had happened and said you two hadda leave right away. So we got yer horses ready as quickly as we could and came to wait for, what sis said, were a gorgeous blond and a handsome, taller man wearing a hat. And sure enough, here you were!"
Little girl - *gazes a bit confusedly from her sister, to the two, and back to her sister* "What is His Majerdy doin'?"
Older girl - *beams happily from the two boys, down to her sister* "They're runnin' off to get married like Mama and Papa did." *sighs dreamily, lifting and placing one of her hands against her cheek* "I think it's romantic!" *pauses for a moment, then blinks out of it, lowering her hand and pointing to the north east as she spoke* "What are you waiting for? There's a small village just an hour and a half down the road that'll more than happily take you in for the night."
Little girl - *nods in agreement with her sister* "It's where Grammy and Pappy and all Mama's broders live."
Older girl - *smiles wider* "Just tell them you know Leanne and Penny, and they won't ask questions."
Yuuri - *smiles at them, mounting his horse as well* "Thanks... " *glances over at Wolfram* "You okay?"
Wolfram - *nods shallowly, a little overwhelmed* "Yeah, I'm okay." *shakes his head to clear it, before meeting Yuuri's gaze, smiling lightly* "I told you she had a thing for you."
Yuuri - *rolls his eyes/turns to the girls, smiling* "Tell your sister we said thanks, too. And sorry about the trouble..." *back to Wolfram* "Ready?" *kicks his horse a bit to start moving forward*
Girls - *wave goodbye~ :D *
Wolfram - *nods again, giving the two girls an appreciative smile* "Yes, I'm ready."
Yuuri - *quickly leads his horse down the street, heading in the direction the girls pointed them, doing his best to ignore excited shouts and pointed fingers at them/holds tightly to his reigns because he was starting to feel a bit dizzy from all the movement*
Wolfram - *follows Yuuri quickly, occasionally sparing short little glances at the people watching them, noting how some were excited, others shocked speechless, and more still with mixed expressions on their faces, as if they weren't sure how to feel/turns to glance back at Yuuri, trying to disregard the many shouts, staring at him in concern* "Are you sure you're okay?"
Yuuri - *blinks, looking up from his concentration on the saddle in hopes of stilling the spinning/smiles at Wolfram* "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just get out of here before something else happens..."
Wolfram - *doesn't really believe him, but nods in agreement nonetheless/they continue to make their way out of the village*
Yuuri - *closes his eyes a bit when he knew Wolfram wasn't looking/glad it would get much darker once out of the village, but it was still barely light enough for them to see where they were going/looks up at Wolfram once they were on the road, still dizzy, but not as much now since they didn't have buildings and people burring past them... just trees and such now...* "You lead, I'll follow... I don't know if I can keep focus on where we're going right now..."
Wolfram - *immediately worried* "What's wrong?! I thought you said you were okay!"
Yuuri - *shakes his head, silently cursing himself for not being able to keep his stories straight* "I am okay! I just.... have a lot on my mind... It's nothing to worry about... I just don't want to get us lost."
Wolfram - *practically ignores him* "Is your head bothering you? You shouldn't be riding if you're still drunk, Yuuri! What if you fall off?!"
Yuuri - *groans in frustration* "I'm not drunk! I won't fall off!" *instantly wraps his arm a couple times around the reigns though, just in case*
Wolfram - *glances at him, glaring in worry* "Yuuri..."
Yuuri - *sighs, not really having the strength to fight right now* "What?"
Wolfram - *seriously* "Don't lie to me. Are you okay to ride?"
Yuuri - *nods, pauses, then shakes his head* "I think so... I'm just... I'll be fine... We have to get away from there, anyway... There's no helping it..."
Wolfram - *doesn't like his answer/extremely worried* "Yuuri!"
Yuuri - *sighs again* "What are we going to do if I can't ride?? We can't just go back! I'll have to mange it... somehow... I'll just be more careful..." *says that, but is getting dizzier as he speaks/holds on tighter to both the reigns and the saddle*
Wolfram - "No!" *immediately starts slowing his horse* "If you can't ride, then we'll stop until you can! Slow down!"
Yuuri - *shakes his head, but slows down to stay in pace with Wolfram* "It's getting darker! We won't be able to see the road soon! We'll be stuck out in the snow and it'll be my fault."
Wolfram - *stubborn* "I'm not going to keep going and have you fall off your horse!" *stops his horse completely*
Yuuri - *groans and stops his horse as well/desperate* "Wolf... We can't stay out here... I'll be fine... I'm feeling better already! It was just temporary! Everything is fine!"
Wolfram - "I told you not to lie to me!" *slides out of his saddle and into the snow on the ground, glaring up at Yuuri* "Get off! Now!"

And that's all for that part~ But oh nos! What's wrong with poor Yuuri?? Is he really that much of a pansy after just a few drinks?? Actually, he really can't hold his liquor... but sadly, he doesn't get to prove how much of a wimp he is about that for a while. Hee hee...
