To the Love of my Life, Wolfram:

I don't know what the rules are here in Shin Makoku, but on Earth, the first anniversary gift is paper. Now I'm just an ordinary university student where I come from so I have next to nothing of my own to give you, but I hope that you will keep this letter so that you will be constantly reminded of how much I have grown to love you. I want you to remember that long after the embossed patterns on this stationery have smoothed out and even after we have both forgotten the scent of this perfumed paper, I will keep on loving you.

Before anything else, I'd like to thank you for loving me as myself. Have you ever noticed how you are the only one who calls me by my name? To everyone else, I'm "Your Majesty", or "Shibuya" or "Yuu-chan" but to you, I am Yuuri. For that I thank you. Thank you also for the unusual pet name that has spurred me into action whenever I was in a rut. For being my anchor in this world, thank you.

Did you know that when I wake up in the mornings, I don't look at the window to tell me if my day has begun? My day only really begins once its light is reflected in your eyes. For the longest time, believe it or not, my days have begun and ended with you - from when those little green suns rise in your face until they set again when you fall asleep at night. I hope you remember this fact tomorrow, and have confidence instead of hope. You always wait for me to hold you. You never presume to be wanted, but you are! Wolfram, I have made my choice and I have only happiness to show for it - no regrets. You are the love of my life as I am yours. Please take that to heart.

You, my love, are the adventure of a lifetime. Whenever I hold you, I feel your love raining in torrents from your heart onto mine and I am always, always caught in your storm. You keep me mystified yet enlightened, enraptured but grounded. It is because of you that I have resolved to be the best king I can be, because you allow me to be no less. Yes, Wolfram - it is because of you that I am able to do my role Justice.

For these and a million more reasons, I love you.

Happy Anniversary, Wolfram.

Love,

Yuuri

P.S.: As a college student on Earth, I have nothing to give you but as Maou, let's say I have a bit saved up. Enclosed herein is the Deed of Donation in your name (also a paper!) for that Children's Hospital you wanted built in Castletown. Happy Anniversary, Wolfram. I love you!
