Spoilers: Chapter 78
He was finally back on earth. No longer did he have to worry about being sucked into the nearest body of water without a seconds warning. No more traveling in between worlds or mountains of paperwork waiting on his desk for his signature. So, why then did he feel so empty and incomplete? Like a big chunk of him was missing?
It must've been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
It suddenly hit him what was missing -- the other part of his life he'd grown to love. Shin Makoku in all her ups and downs along with those who had been a part of his life there. More importantly, he missed his accidental fiance the most. Come to think of it, his last memory of the flaxen haired mazoku prince had not been what was termed a cheerful one...
He'd still been deciding if he should step into the portal when Wolfram had spoken up, urging him to return back to his family on earth. It was in all actuality, the last thing Yuuri had expected from the guy Anissina had termed ' Little Lord Brat '.
His heart had clenched painfully then, knowing the sacrifice the often jealous blond was making; but not as painful as when he heard the silent sobs and plea when his name had been uttered for a final time.
If only he had given in to his heart and turned around back then. If only he had embraced the once proud prince. If only he had sworn that he would never leave his side the way his crying fiance had always shadowed him. Instead, Yuuri had chosen to mutter a soft 'goodbye' to hide his aching heart.
You were content to let me shine( That's your way)
You always walked a step behind
Looking back, Yuuri realized now that had he paid just a tad bit more attention, he would have noticed something was wrong when Wolfram had been possessed by Shoushu. The signs were all there! Sure, he still got yelled at for being a wimp and a cheater (which by the way, he most certainly was not – or maybe he was?) But he of all people should have noticed that the possessive mazoku was not as vibrant and lively as before.
Banging his head against his headboard, he cursed himself for being so caught up in the thrill of finally collecting all four boxes that he had not thought much about it when Wolfram did not sneak into his bedroom at night. All his subconsciousness had only registered was the fact that his fiance was always one step behind him no matter where he went.
" Sir Von Bielefield must have cared for you deeply to have endured seasickness along with so may other things including the risk of his life to follow you wherever you went and yet kept quiet about it when he could have stayed back in Blood Pledge Castle and brag about having the Maou for his fiance as well as continuing to be in the spotlight like he'd been for more than half a century." Murata had once said.
At that time, Yuuri had only flinched and complained about how troublesome it was. Now he realized how right his friend had been. However, regrets could neither bring back the time he had spent complaining about being trapped in an accidental engagement nor could it provide him the chance to return to Shin Makoku, to Wolfram. But that did not stop the tears from wetting the already damp pillow or the yearning of his heart to be near the one he had unknowingly fallen for.
As his eyes slid shut, he acknowledged that Wolfram had been right to accuse him of being a cheater and a wimp. He had been a wimp by cheating himself about his feelings for his ever loyal fiance, knight and protector.
