The night has been endless.

Dinner and toasts; dancing and stupid customs dragging on until it seems we've been at this party for weeks. Capped off by the ridiculous clone dance; but that, at least, I managed to escape without difficulty. My head is spinning, maybe from the wine, but then I have to wonder if it's from having Yuuri so close. ( Read more... )

I've never been more grateful of anything than I am of this bath right now. Or the fact that Hahaue left me alone to take it. For a moment, I thought she'd come in with me and insist on scrubbing my back or some other nonsense ( Read more... )

Yuuri shoved me into bed and left. I lay there for a minute, thoughtlessly watching his bare back as he went. Then, a moment longer, the thought of sleep tempting.

I don't think Yozak notices the glare I give him as he leaves me with orders to the nurses and healers. He's dropped me off like some kind of useless invalid ( Read more... )

Once Yuuri has left, I bite off a short curse that I hadn't realized I was holding back. I'm starting to think that we're never going to find a point of balance in this relationship. It takes a moment for the annoyance to fade, for me to force myself to remember that we've only had a relationship that was more than in name for a few days. It's ( Read more... )

[OOC: Still no repaired internet, but I'm desperate enough to play that I'm willing to tie up the phone line for a little while. ^_^ So, this comes in after Yuuri leavesI lie in bed, bemused... No, bemused is not a strong enough word. Astounded would be more appropriate. My fingertips are pressed to my lips where the taste of him, still thick ( Read more... )

[OOC: On the way to bed, Yuuri and Wolfram find out that a good portion of the castle is currently unihabitable. Wolf has an idea ( Read more... )
