Stage 1: Attraction
So Yuuri had noticed. It was a minor thing, but he'd noticed, and to Wolfram that meant something. It seemed that little wuss actually liked it and had even missed it. It was something to think about.
Wolfram did think about it. Of course Yuuri had a knack for getting into situations that required Wolfram's intervention. It was disgraceful how often he had to put himself between Yuuri and another, but it was a matter of pride to Wolfram. Yuuri was completely blind to how inappropriate his actions were.
It didn't matter where they were, whether at sea or on land, with strangers, commoners, or even members of his own family. There had been that night at the beach, and Wolfram had seen how close Yuuri and his brother Konrad had been sitting. It was up to him to remind everyone, especially Yuuri, just who was betrothed to the undeserving king.
Once Yuuri had finally done his duty and obtained Morgif and they'd returned from that vile journey, Wolfram reminded him. Yuuri had noticed that, too, and then had run off screaming like a girl before disappearing from the kingdom again. The moment he returned he already had a bunch of women lusting after him and the worst part wasn't that Yuuri allowed it but that he seemed to enjoy it.
Wolfram had made sure they kept their hands to themselves, but it was clear that Yuuri had been gone too long and had forgotten. Once they got to Covenant Castle Wolfram began reminding him again, and if Yuuri thought throwing him out of his bed was going to make a difference, he'd learn soon enough that it would take a lot more than that.
It was working, too. Sometimes Yuuri was so easy to figure out. Calling him a wimp never failed to get a reaction. It didn't matter where they were, who was around, or even if Yuuri thought he was just talking in his sleep. If that's what it was going to take to distract Yuuri when he was in danger of doing something inappropriate, Wolfram was willing to go that far.
It was, after all, a matter of honor.
