Chapter One
It was another fine summer day, and it was hot. Almost all occupants of the Blood Pledge castle was spoiling themselves by either taking cold baths, drinking cool drinks, turning on the air conditioner or the fan, and relaxing, doing nothing at all. It helped lessening the heat, they had said, and the royal brothers, along with the emperor and the advisor was no different.
They were sitting in the library, doing nothing, just sitting there, staring off into the space. How they could be there together was beyond them themselves. They usually are cold to each other. Guess the heat of the summer really does miraculous works.
A pretty blond haired boy was looking at the calendar and the clock hanging on the wall, when he nearly jumped up in surprise. The other four looked at him as if he had just sat on a nail or something.
"Weller-kyo," he called out to a man with short dark brown hair, "I need to go out," he said.
"Is it that time already?" Conrad asked as he looked at the calendar, then at the blond haired boy, "Alright, you may go, Wolfram, but be sure to come back before it's dark," he said as he nodded his head at the blond, allowing him to go.
"I'll be going now then," Wolfram excused himself as he made his way to the door of the library, but was stopped when his older brother, a man with long dark brown hair, spoke up.
"Pay my respects to him," he said calmly.
Wolfram stared for a while, before he smiled and nodded, "I will, don't worry," he said and made his way out of the castle.
"Ah, now that one of us is missing, I'm going to my room," Conrad said as he stood up from his chair, "Coming, Yuuri?" he asked the emperor, who merely shook his head.
"I'm going out as well, hope it's cooler at the marketplace," he said as he stood up and walked outside, knowing that the marketplace was covered with tents.
"What about you, Gunter, Gwendal?" Conrad asked the other two.
"I'm staying here," Gwendal stated flatly and Gunter nodded his head.
"Okay then," he said and then he left.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Yuuri was walking down the path, following his fiancé suspiciously. He wanted to know who he wanted to visit, and why Gwendal wanted to pay his respects to that someone. He hid behind something every time Wolfram turned around, and he stared with confusion when he made a pit stop at a flower shop.
They walked and walked, until it was at the border of the kingdom. Wolfram made a turn, and Yuuri stared at the big place in front of him. It was a cemetery.
"Did someone die?" he asked himself, before he decided to go inside and follow his fiancé. He wanted to know who it is. That person seemed important to all the occupants of the Blood Pledge castle.
He hid behind a grave stone when Wolfram stopped in front of a particular grave stone and put the flowers down as he muttered something lowly.
When he had finally left, Yuuri crept towards the grave stone, and stared at the name carved on it. On it, was written Ephraim of Renais. Died at dd, mm, yyyy when he joined the war.
He stared at the name for a while, before he spotted black damp dots on the grave stone.
"Was he crying?"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
It was afternoon, and Yuuri had followed Wolfram to a lake near the cemetery. He took off his boots and pulled his pants up to his knee so that he could put his feet inside the lake without fear of his pants being wet.
It was a heavenly sight. Wolfram sitting on a dock, bathed in the sunlight, while the water in the lake was sparkling. Yuuri was nearly speechless. He had never noticed that his fiancé is actually very beautiful.
Suddenly, he heard a singing voice. He looked around, only to see that it was Wolfram who sang the song.
Hateshinaku tooi sora ni "Arigatou" no kimochi dake

He listened and listened to the song. Some parts of the song made him wonder. Was he singing it for the so-called Ephraim of Renais? Was he so important to him?
When he noticed that Wolfram had started to tidy up himself, he stood up and rushed back to the Blood Pledge castle, feeling that asking Conrad about him was the safest way.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Ah, Heika, what is it?" Conrad asked as he stared at the black haired and black eyed emperor.
"I want to ask something," Yuuri stated, walking closer to Conrad and sat down in front of him.
"What is it?" Conrad asked. He had never seen Yuuri this serious before. Something must have happened, or at least, he thought so.
"Who is Ephraim of Renais?" he asked.
"What- how did you know him?" Conrad asked as a frown became visible on his forehead, his eyebrows creasing. "Did you follow Wolfram?" he asked again.
"Please," Yuuri sighed, "Just answer my question," he said, half-begging and half-commanding.
"Alright," it was Conrad's turn to sigh. "Ephraim of Renais," he started, "He is the only one who could get Wolfram to smile," he explained. "He was his best friend, and a tough warrior who always trained with him,"
"Is that it?" Yuuri asked, relief clear in his voice.
"That's not all," Conrad shook his head, "Ephraim of Renais, was also Wolfram's lover,"
.-.-.-.-. You said you'll come back for me… you're a coward, Ephraim -.-.-.-.-.
End of Chapter One
That's it, sorry for the short chapter, but I'll make longer chapters later. Hope you enjoy, and if you do, please leave a review or two.
I'm bored by fics that have Wolfram chasing after Yuuri, so, in this one, I made it vice versa. It was only fair that way, don't you think? And Ephraim's cool, and cute.
The last line is what Wolfram said when he stood near Ephraim's grave stone. I was thinking about it for some times, and decided on it.
