Chapter Three

The man is leaving him.

'NO!' he won't let it.

"Where are you going?"

The man just gave him a blank stare then he turned his back on him.

"You can't just turn your back on me!" he is practically shouting.

He has been begging him not to go. But the man is not listening. The frustration is starting to sink in.

"Please don't leave. I beg of you."

He fell on his knees. A warm fluid starting to turn down his cheek. He sobs like a child. The whole situation is all new to him.

"Why?"

He can't believe it. Why is he begging him to stay? He doesn't know him. But what practically surprises him is that he is crying. He's crying his heart out for only Shinou knows why. Though, he even doubted it if the former king would even have an idea.

For some reason, he felt empty knowing that this man who has his back on him is leaving. He feels like he shares a big part of him. He felt lost.

"Why are you doing this?" another sob.

"Please ... don't"

But the guy started to walk away.

"NO! It can't be like this!"

"Come back!"

He called him but there was no response. He ran after him. Maybe if he reaches him... get close to him. He'll have a better chance to make him stay. He chases the man with all his might until he reaches him. He grabbed him by the arms.

The man turns to face him and he meets his glance, he realizes that the man that he's chasing ang the one what is now in front of him is not the same.

"Who are you?"

*******************************************************************************************

Wolfram has been awakened by the absence of a certain warmth that is supposed to be beside him. He and Yuuri had been Sharing the same bed for more than a few years now. He was used to it that sometimes, he's having trouble falling asleep when the wimp is not in Shinmakoku.

He stretched out his hand and indeed he felt the space beside him.

"Now, where did that wimp go?"

He slowly opened his eyes. And there he saw his fiance standing by the window staring outside. He doubted that his mind was on it though. It seems that his fiance's thoughts were floating somewhere beyond reach.

"Yuuri?" he tried to call but it looks like his voice didn't reach the maoh's ears.

"Yuuri!"

He called a but louder that he startled the young king. He's attention drifted into him. He met his gaze and was greeted by his confused eyes.

"Oh, hey there Wolf. You're awake."

The double black king gave him a concern look.

"Did I wake you up? I am sorry. I didn't mean to."

Yuuri said followed by a deep sigh,

"Go back to sleep Wolf. It is still night time. And you should take a rest."

"And so do you."

Yuuri just gave him a nod but didn't say anything and didn't go back to bed either. He space out again looking at the invisible view outside the window.

"Is there something wrong, Yuuri?" the blond said with concern.

This is not so Yuuri.. His fiance is a first class wimp, yes. But never did he act like this. Silence and Yuuri is the thing that is not likely to come together. And the serious atmosphere as well. So, there might be a problem.

"Eh? Nothing."

"You're spacing out and you're unusually quiet. It is so not you. Is there anything that is bothering you?"

The double black laugh and even in the dark he Wolf could still see that goofy smile of him.

"I'm fine, Wolf. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

It must be something important for him to wake up in the middle of the night.

'But it's better not be a woman or a man for that matter.'

He could already feel his blood boils just by the thought of his fiance thinking about some guy or girl. He could feel a stung on his chest. This is what he hates about human emotion. and he hates it that the wimp is making him feel something like this. Not that he would admit it.

"You are not cheating on me in your thoughts, are you?"

"What? Of course not Wolf. It's nothing. Really."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Then come here and get back to sleep. I'm pretty sure Anuae has prepared work loads for you tomorrow and you need your rest."

With the last glance at the view outside, Yuuri went back to bed and slid through the covers. He moved closer to the blond. The ex-prince felt those fingers playing with his golden locks. Then the young king lifted his head a little. Before he could protest, his head was now resting on this fiance's arm.

"Yuuri..." his fiance is really acting weird.

No one could blame him from thinking so. Yuuri has never done this before. The young king would usually sleep on their bed keeping a safe distance from him. Well, partly because of his bad sleeping habit.

"Are you sure you are OK?" another arm reached to hold him closer, practically hugging him.

"I'm fine. Just let me hold you for a while."

He just gives a silent nod drift off to sleep with a smile on his lips. If it is his majesty's order, then he will gladly obey.
