Thankyou
Saying Thank You
A YuuRam One-Shot
---+---
Wolfram sat on the dragon fountain’s edge, waiting quietly for Yuuri to return. Yuuri had left a few das ago, giving Wolfram no choice but to wait.
“Damn wimp…” He muttered for the twelve time this morning. He sighed. He had wanted to thank Yuuri for brining him back to life, but he never got the chance. He also did know how. His golden hair waved easily in the breeze, as Wolfram sighed once again. “Damn Wimp!” He said, a bit louder this time.
“Didn’t I say to stop calling me that?” A voice said behind him. Wolfram felt his face grow hot, and he stood up and spun around. There stood Yuuri and Ken, sopping wet and smiling. Wolfram held the urge to hug his fiancé in, and clenched his fists.
“Where… have you been? Do you realize how long you’ve been gone?!” He yelled, moving closer to Yuuri and Ken. Yuuri backed up a bit, holding his hands up in protest.
“We have our exams… They took three days… I said I was going for that long!” He argued, putting his hands on his hips. Wolfram stood moving and thought back. He remembered Yuuri had said that, but he didn’t care. He dropped his hands and sighed.
“Just try to come home sooner… Okay?” He said, not looking up at his fiancé. Yuuri smiled a bit, knowing that Wolfram had missed him. He sighed and rubbed the top of his head.
“Okay.. Ill tell Mom that Ill leave earlier next time.” He muttered, stepping out of the fountain. Ken smiled, and knew that Wolfram had a small smile on his face as well. Ever since Yuuri had been able to travel freely between the worlds, Yuuri and Wolfram had gotten closer, and haven’t gotten into their ridiculous fits over nothing. Ken sighed, things around Shin Makoku were getting better, now that Yuuri was the full time King.

Wolfram sighed heavily, Yuuri had been doing paperwork all day, and he yet to have a moment alone with his fiancé. As Yuuri’s feather pen glided across the parchment, Wolfram stared inventively. He secretly admired how Yuuri’s papers, with his name and school. It was strange, yet cute how he was so used to signing things that way. Wolfram caught himself blushed, and looked up when Gunter came in.
“You majesty… I see your till working on your papers…” He said, a little disappointment in his voice. Wolfram noticed this right away, and looked up sharply. Though he had the urge to strangle Gunter, he kept himself still and silent. Yuuri gaped at Gunter.
“Only for the past three hours… Can’t I take a break?” He whined, making Gunter smile.
“Of course, Your Majesty… You don’t have to ask!” Gunter said, making Yuuri gasp. Yuuri stood up in protest.
“Why did you tell me this before!! Im get bored easily!” He said slamming his fists onto the table. Gunter frowned at his own stupidity.
“I just thought that you knew that. You are our king…” He said, sadly. Wolfram snorted.
“You expect Yuuri to know this? His is a wimp after all.” He said, crossing his arms, and peering over at, the now fuming, Yuuri. The look on Yuuri’s face shocked Wolfram. Yuuri had actually looked offended. Yuuri was defiantly in a strange mood. Yuuri glared at his fiancé for the first time.
“I wish you would stop calling me that…” He grumbled, making his way out of the room. Wolfram stared as the door to the office slammed shut. He wondered what had happened to make his fiancé so angry. He clenched his fists and pushed by the awkward Gunter.
“That wimp!!!” Wolfram yelled, pushing the doors open. Gunter stared at the pile of work left on the table, and realized that it was going to be his duty to finish it. His side sadly but a quick thought made him blush a tinge.
“His majesty would be happier if he came back to find all his work finished for him!! And I would receive praise from him!!” His mind went into a ramble of perverted thoughts, and he sat down to finish what was left.

Yuuri sat on a bench located in the flower garden. He had a major headache, and he had no clue what made his so angry this afternoon. His black eyes stared at the white flowers blooming in the bright patch of color. They moved slowly until his view was blocked by a figure dressed in a blue suit. Yuuri looked up into Wolfram’s unusually worried eyes.
“Wolfram?” He asked, making Wolfram glare at him.
“What the hell is your problem today?” He snapped, crossing his arms. Yuuri looked down sadly. He sighed.
“I really have no idea… I just… I had a fit!” He tried to explain. His mind raced, thinking about what had happened the last few days. It had only been a week since Wolfram had been revived, and Shinou defeated. Yuuri was still in a state of shock. Wolfram’s face fell when he saw a sad look glaze over his fiancé. He took the free spot next Yuuri and touched Yuuri’s hand.
“I didn’t think you were going to come back.” He said, looking at the flowers. Yuuri’s head shot up at those words. He remembered saying goodbye, and he never realized the effect it would have on Wolfram.
“I didn’t either… I just new that it was going to be hard…” Yuuri said, making no sense to himself. Wolfram’s eyes slide to look at Yuuri, who was still looking at the flowers. He frowned a bit.
“I really cried…. I dint think you would even want to see me ever again… You don’t realize how much I missed you those day you were gone!” He said, his tone raising a bit. Yuuri stared still ahead, but he spoke.
“I know.. and Im sorry…” He said, gulping, trying to keep his eyes clear from tears. Wolfram looked down, and thought for words.
“I never got to say thank you…” He said, softly. Yuuri looked over at him.
“For what?” He asked, confused. A slight thought made him blink, but he still stared at the blonde prince. Wolfram looked at Yuuri, a soft look on his face.
“For saving me… You got yourself captured and brought me back…” He told him, staring at him softly. Yuuri was shocked. He had realized that he was never thanked… but he never cared. As long as Wolfram was safe and well, he was happy.
“You safe… That’s all I need.” He told Wolfram, a soft, loving look on his face. Wolfram suddenly became stern and he got ever close to Yuuri. Yuuri was in shock, but gazed deep into his blonde prince’s eyes.
“I want to thank you Yuuri…” Wolfram said, leaning in. Yuuri’s heart picked up speed, and he could feel Wolfram’s hands sliding up his chest. Wolfram closed in on Yuuri’s mouth and shocked Yuuri with a passionate kiss. When they broke, Yuuri was three times as flushed and Wolfram had a satisfied look on his face. “Thank you Yuuri… Does this prove my love for you?” He asked, making Yuuri gulp. His senses where raise to the maximum, and he nodded. His mouth tingled and his face felt hot.
“Wolfram… I-“
“Shut up you wimp… I know you enjoyed it, your flushed face tells me so.” Wolfram cut him off, and smiled. He had thanked his fiancé the proper way, and he finally had kissed him. Yuuri gulped again and grabbed Wolfram’s hands.
“Thank you Wolfram… for always being there for me…” he whispered, blushing even more. Wolfram cocked his head, but felt his own face growing hot. He yanked his hands away from Yuuri and stood up.
“Im the one doing the thanking! Now, lets get you back to work so Gunter doesn’t over do it!” He yelled, storming off. As he walked away, a grim spread across his face. He had shown true love to Yuuri, and felt as if Yuuri had shown it back. He called back for Yuuri once more, before they entered The Blood Pledge Castle. Things were going to be quite awkward for a while, but that’s the way Wolfram liked it.

The end!!
Kissing
“Tell me, wimp.”
“What?”
“Why the hell are we sitting on a tree?!”
Yuuri laughed at the question. Wolfram was blazing mad at him and he could tell from the creases of skin in between his fiancé’s eyebrows that he would like nothing more to do than smack him severely on the head at this moment because Yuuri had made him climb a very tall tree just so they could sit on one of its top branches and gaze at the panoramic view of Shin Makoku without being interrupted. That, and Yuuri needed a place to escape Gunter’s lesson, Gwendal’s strategy meeting and Conrad’s training. Yes, nowadays he even needed to escape from Conrad. The sword exercises he devised for Yuuri was getting harder and harder and on days like these, where Yuuri just had had enough of swords and everything else, he needed to escape.
So he had escaped with Wolfram. Why Wolfram? One, because Wolfram was his number one friend and ally in the castle. Two, because Wolfram readily followed Yuuri around anytime and anywhere anyway. And three, because lately, Yuuri noticed, he just couldn’t do anything without Wolfram.
He couldn’t study without Wolfram sitting nearby and waiting for him to finish. He couldn’t train properly without Wolfram shouting his displeasure at Yuuri’s incompetence with the sword and at the same time encouraging him to do better. He couldn’t play with Greta without Wolfram playing together with them because Wolfram knew better than him what Greta liked and disliked. He even couldn’t sleep without Wolfram anymore!
Thus it was Wolfram whom he dragged by the hand to follow him to the stables. It was Wolfram whom he forced to take Ao’s reins as he settled in behind Wolfram and ordered him to ride as far away from the castle as possible. It was Wolfram who protested all the way saying that it was unsafe to leave the castle without at least four more guards and Conrad. It was Wolfram whom Yuuri pleaded to just go and worry about everything else later. It was Wolfram who finally caved in to Yuuri’s incessant whining and rode across the village to a nearby valley where they usually went on picnics with Wolfram’s mother and brothers and Gunter and Greta on a sunny day like this one.
And therefore… it was Wolfram who ended up climbing the tree with Yuuri and sitting there at the top.
“If Gunter sees you climb a tree this high, he’ll probably have a heart attack,” Wolfram grumbled. “Mark my words, wimp, it won’t be my fault if you fall down and break your neck!”
“Ah, come on, Wolf…” Yuuri teased, “You’re not scared of heights, are you?”
“I’M NOT!” Wolfram snapped. “I just don’t see the point of us climbing this tree!”
“Because it’s fun! It’s what kids do when they are being rebellious and make their parents worry, right?”
“Listen, wimp! You are not a kid anymore! You are a king. I’m even older than you are so I’m not a kid either. And unlike you who seemingly strive to find new ways to make your parents and the rest of us worry about you by doing reckless things, I would rather spend the rest of my life in a ship and go through a bout of seasickness every single day than to make my mother and my brothers worry about me! Besides, wimp, up here I can’t use my sword if there’s an attack! How am I supposed to protect you?! And we all know you need protecting all the time!”
“Wolfr–” Yuuri tried to put a stop to his tirade. But he was immediately cut by Wolfram once again as the blonde prince continued ranting at his king and his fiancé.
“I bet all the Kotsuhizokus are now keeping an eye on this tree just in case you fall. But what if they don’t reach us in time?! You really never stop to think about the consequences, do you?”
“Wolf–” Yuuri tried again.
Still no luck as Wolfram stepped up his diatribe. “Yuuri, haven’t you realized your worth? Let me say this once again. You. Are. A. KING. I know Gunter has said this. Conrad has said this. Yozak has said this. And Gwendal says this ALL THE TIME that even my ears are ringing just hearing him reminding you about this. But for your sake, let me say this to you one more time… you, wimp, are a–”
“King.” Yuuri finished the sentence with him. Wolfram quieted and was surprised that Yuuri had somehow managed to intervene. “I know I’m a king. And yes I know my worth.”
Wolfram huffed. “Well, then. If you do know, why do you insist on climbing this damn tree?!”
Yuuri didn’t hesitate to answer. “Because I wanted to be alone with you.”
That effectively put a halt to whatever Wolfram planned on saying to Yuuri next. With his eyes wide from astonishment, he stared at the king’s black eyes that were staring back at him in an amused look.
Having won the argument, Yuuri took advantage of Wolfram’s state of perplexity to edge closer to him on the tree branch until they were sitting very close to each other. When they were only a few inches apart from each other, Yuuri took Wolfram’s hand and lifted it up to his lips. He gently kissed the back of Wolfram’s hand. This, of course, made Wolfram blush and widen his eyes some more until his expression was quite comical.
“Yuuri… w-what… did y-you j-just…” Wolfram stuttered in shock.
“I kissed your hand,” Yuuri explained matter-of-factly. “Do you… hate it?” he asked cautiously.
“I-uh… don’t…”
Yuuri smiled. “Great! So you don’t mind if I touch you, right?”
Before Wolfram could answer, Yuuri leaned forward and aimed his lips at Wolfram’s cheek. Wolfram, now painfully aware of how close they were, started to panic. He had managed to gather his wits in the last minute and he was now trying to escape the kiss. So before Yuuri could plant his lips on Wolfram’s fair and lush cheek, he held out his hand and pushed Yuuri away before it happened.
Yuuri shouted as he nearly lost his balance from the push. Wolfram shouted too, extremely worried that he might have caused the very thing that he was warning Yuuri of earlier. Wolfram immediately put his outstretched hand to good use. He grabbed Yuuri by the shoulders and steadied him on the branch. Once he recovered his balance, Yuuri breathed in relief. So did Wolfram.
“Sorry!” Wolfram quickly apologized. “I didn’t mean to push you that hard!”
“It’s OK,” Yuuri replied with an easy smile. “I was surprised but you were quick.”
Wolfram rubbed his forehead as he furrowed his eyebrows again. “God, Yuuri, stop doing stupid things, will you?! First, the tree climb and now, the kiss. What is that? You really are trying to kill me, aren’t you? Don’t do things that will make me worry, wimp. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you, you idiot.”
“Is kissing stupid?” Yuuri asked suddenly.
Wolfram blushed at the question. “It’s n-not… but it would be stupid if you try and kiss me here without any warning whatsoever and make me push you like that.” But he then eyed Yuuri timidly and asked the question that had been nagging him ever since Yuuri started displaying his affections earlier. “B-but, I really don’t know why you did that. How come all of a sudden–”
Yuuri sighed. “I don’t know. I just felt like it.”
At the first sign of another upcoming protest, Yuuri quickly said, “No. Don’t. Please, don’t say anything! Just… don’t. Be quiet. I would appreciate it if you can just stay here with me without saying anything and just, for once, do what I say, what I want you to do. Please?”
It was this soft ‘please’ that made Wolfram hold back any comment he had for Yuuri. And when Yuuri repeated his plea for the second time, Wolfram sighed and finally gave in. So what if Yuuri was in a weird mood today? So what if Yuuri decided to climb trees and started kissing the fiancé that he didn’t want and wasn’t able to give a proper reason to do it? As long as he was with Yuuri and as long as it was Yuuri who was kissing him, Wolfram was fine with it.
Resigning to his fate, Wolfram took Yuuri’s hand in his. Yuuri stared at their linked hands and then at Wolfram’s visage, searching for an explanation for Wolfram’s sudden actions.
And Wolfram did explain. “If you want to do this, I’ll do it. In return, you do this for me.” At the word ‘this’, he lifted their clasped hands in front of Yuuri’s face. “Hold on to my hand and don’t let go. You hear me, wimp? Don’t ever let go.”
Yuuri nodded. “Yes, I know.” Gazing softly into Wolfram’s eyes, Yuuri said, “Because this way, if I fall, at least you will already have your hand ready to catch me. And you will hang on to me. And even if you lose your hold on this tree after catching me, then you will fall together with me. Right?”
Wolfram was pleased. “Not bad for a wimp. So you do understand me after all.”
“Of course I do,” Yuuri said softly.
He was surprised at how gruff his voice was. Was it because he had just repeated Wolfram’s words from that day where he was about to fall to the abyss in Small Shimaron? Or was it because he was realizing that the place where he was actually meant to be was beside Wolfram, his Wolfram?
Ah, then again, he thought, it could just be the whole sitting in a tree and kissing thing…
Kissing. He wanted to kiss Wolfram. He squeezed Wolfram’s hand and whispered his question. “Wolf. Can I–?”
Wolfram’s answer was immediate. “Yes. You can.”
Without wasting his breath on another useless word, Yuuri swooped down on Wolfram and seized his fiancé’s lips for a sweet, warm kiss that linked their hearts to one another.
As the kiss deepened, Yuuri wondered whether there would be love, marriage and baby in a carriage in the future. He decided he didn’t know. He probably didn’t even want to know it… yet. For now, it’s enough for them to be sitting in a tree and kissing.
