It was raining.

Gunter was rushing through the halls of the castle, his footsteps echoing off of the stone walls. He was yelling for His Majesty in that overexcited way he had. Most of the residents had grown used to his overbearing personality, but Wolfram was never more irate than when Gunter insisted on fawning over Yuuri. His Yuuri. Despite what anyone else, including the wimp, said, Wolfram and Yuuri were engaged to be married and that made Yuuri more his than anyone else's.

"What, pray, are you making such a commotion about Lord Von Christ?" Wolfram growled.

"His Majesty! Oh, what a terrible turn of events this is! Oh, My Majesty is gone! Where might the darkness have stolen him to? Why does My Majesty insist upon hiding from his most loyal subject?" Gunter flipped his long silvery hair dramatically, wiping tears from his glistening lavender eyes. "I only pray harm has not come to his most gentle, loving, kind, noble head! My poor Majesty!"

"What do you mean, 'my'?" Wolfram glared.

"Now, now, Sir Von Bielefeld. You really should be more generous like your most charming fiancee! His Majesty does belong to all of his subjects! And you should be more concerned about his whereabouts, don't you think?" Wolfram's arms crossed as he contemplated turning Gunter into the night's main course for dinner, but the man had a point.

"Where did you last see him?" Wolfram questioned, trying to keep the scorn out of his voice.

"This morning during his studies! He was dozing off, but even in rest His Majesty looks so defined! Like the regal King of -"

"ENOUGH!" Wolfram interupted. "Where did he go after? It's only barely afternoon."

"My, my, isn't someone impatient," Gunter huffed. "Well, Lord Weller came to take His Majesty to a meeting of some sort. They most likely went to Gwedal's office, but neither know where he has run off to and it's time to finish his studies! I only wish our King were more diligent! But I suppose it's only part of his charismatic perso- Where are you going Sir Von Bielefeld?"

Satisfied that this was all of the information Gunter had at his disposal, Wolfram decided to continue his search in a less undignified approach than his counterpart had taken. He'd simply go to his brother and ask in a stoic fashion where his fiancee had gotten off to and what they were talking about. Simple as that. Hopefully Gwendal would keep from frowning – wrinkles really didn't suit his handsome face and perhaps Gunter would take to the dark headed male and lay off of the double black Maou if Gwendal didn't look quite so intimidating.

Wolfram hesitated at the door, hearning voices within.

"-made any progress yet?"

"As far as we can see, His Majesty is no longer on Castle grounds."

"We may have to announce this publicly and start a search... This isn't good.."

"If you'd tied him down like I said this wouldn't have been a problem! We knew he'd get worked up."

"To be perfectly honest, Yozak, we though it was just one of your dirty fantasies..."

"Oh, Conrad! You know I only have dirty fatasies about handsome brunette soldiers."

Disgusted, Wolfram held in a gag. He could almost hear Yozak winking at his older brother. Unable to tolerate anymore, he barged in without knocking. So much for stoic.

"Where is my fiancee?" Wolfram shouted, glaring at his older siblings plus Yozak – all of which had shock registered on their faces.

Gwendal glared at Yozak. "This is why I told you to guard the door and not participate in the meeting you ingrate."

"Gwendal-" Conrad muttered softly, attempting to protect his friend, but being cut off in the process.

"Just coz you ain't gettin any don't mean-"

"SHUT UP!" Wolfram exclamed, fuming. "Tell me where Yuuri is, what you were talking about when he ran and STOP BICKERING!"

The room was silent and Wolfram was just beginning to contemplate burning one of Gwendal's knitted pig... bear... things... when Conrad cleared his throat. Wolfram's attention shifted to his little big brother, flames still dancing in his eyes.

Conrad's gentle yet completely fake smile graced his features before he stood in a mock-military position and Wolfram's eyes narrowed. "His Majesty's engagement was taken into question, His emotions got out of control and he ran off. His whereabouts are currently unknown and any information will eventually make it's way to you, Wolfram."

"It's Sir Von Belefield in this room, Lord Weller!" Wolfram humphed, not liking the turn his search was taking. If it had something to so with the engagement, Wolfram was the last person Yuuri probably wanted to see. "What exactly was being said about our engagement?" Wolfram asked, emphasizing that it was his engagement as well as the Maoh's that was being questioned.

"It's been two years, brat." Yozak explained. "Other offers have been made and we thought we'd inform the King of certain... Rumors about a certain blonde fiance as a result of the long wait. True, the kid's only seventeen, would be a toddler if he'd grown up here, but the fact that no plans have been made-"

"So you're encouraging him to officially end it." Wolfram had to will his tears not to fall at the betrayal he felt for his brothers. Yozak was Yozak... But he had thought his relationship with Conrad and Gwendal had been improving...

"That relationship is detrimental to your well being if the Maou has no intention of following through with his -"

"Fine." Woflram cut Gwendal off, not wanting to hear any more. "I know where he is then. Good afternoon," He finished curtly, stomping back out the the door he came from.

Conrad sighed in relief. At least he wouldn't have to send out a search party.

"Don't you act relieved! How could you-"

"Gwendal, you can't lie to that face any more than I can," Conrad argued. Gwendal blushed in acknowledgement, but the glare that softened didn't leave his face.

"You didn't have to tell him so much – and that counts for you too, Yozak!"

"At least we didn't tell him that Yuuri renounced his claim to the thrown and vowed never to come back."

The room stayed silent after that.

It was raining.

Yuuri Shibuya was soaked head to toe. It had started raining when the rumors were mentioned. The thunder came not long after he left the castle. Drops of rain mingled with the tears on his face. How had he not known what he was doing to Wolfram's reputation? The more he thought about it, the more he feared that he did know and was only ignoring the signs so he wouldn't be burdened. So long Yuuri had known he loved that blonde mazoku with jealous green eyes. So long he'd given in to subtle touches and layed in bliss with Wolfram by his side at night – that is, when he wasn't kicked out of the bed. His little bishounen... Yuuri sighed.

When he came back from Earth after he thought he'd had to leave for good, when he saw Wolfram's desperate and tear filled eyes, that adorable blush – Yuuri knew he should stop pretending that he didn't love his addmitedly male fiance. But he'd been denying intimate contact for so long! How awkward and weird and out of character would it have been for him to just plan a wedding out of the blue? Wolfram would have thought he'd become dillusional! And what if things started moving too fast? He couldn't risk hurting Wolfram because of an unpredicted reaction to something too intimate. But now, thinking about it, he'd been selfish...

"Wolfram's reputation has been tarnished! People are saying..." When Gwendal couldn't finish, Yozak took over.

"People are sayin' the brat is your pretty-boy-whore."

That was too much to handle. Yuuri couldn't lead a populace who not only questioned his morals, but questioned Wolfram's virtue! Maybe it was rash and maybe it wasn't the wisest decision he had ever made, but Yuuri had renounced his claim to the thown of Shin Makoku and his last order as King was for Gwendal to fill out the appropriate paper-work.

Yuuri hadn't even thought of Greta as he stormed out of the castle, taking Ao and riding off of the grounds.

A choked sob escaped his lips. He was only waiting here until Wolfram came to find him. Then, he'd confess the feelings he'd been harboring for so long – almost a year – and ask Wolfram to return to Earth with him. He felt so wrong for disowning his people, and disowning his daughter, but there was little he could do when escaping all of that responsibility felt so right. His whole world felt backwards. Maybe that's what love did to him...

"Hey, wimp!" A familiar voice called from only a few yards behind him. Yuuri's smile was only a little bit forced as he turned to Wolfram on his white steed, shining like the sun in the middle of a heavy rain storm.

"I'm not a wimp!" Yuuri shouted his usual retort. Wolfram dismounted, tying his horse to a tree then bounding over to his fiance.

"I knew you'd remember..." Yuuri said quietly.

"You told me to, so I figured it was pretty important and took it to heart." Wolfram mumbled in reply, blushing slightly.

It was sunny that day. Yuuri had finally agreed to be alone with Wolfram outside of the bed chambers. The breeze ruffled Yuuri's hair and he breathed in the smell of fresh air.

"I think if I'm sad, I'll come here from now on."

"Don't be ridiculous," Wolfram replied. "I won't let you be sad. And even if you were, why would you come here of all places, where no one could protect you?"

"I'd come here because it makes me think of you. It's beautiful... And, if you know I'm sad, remember where I'll be. That way you can protect me."

"You have everyone worried. We should go back," Wolfram said in a slightly more formal tone.

"You mean they haven't told you?" Wolfram looked back at the double black, confused. "I renounced my claim on the thrown. I was waiting here for you, so I could tell you something before I left Shin Makoku for good."

"WHAT?" Wolfram exclaimed, shocked. "What about Greta? What about Conrad? Or our people? What about..." me... Wolfram couldn't say it. He knew now that Yuuri was probably going to reject him once and for all and leave so they wouldn't have to go through that awkward stage of learning how to be "just friends" again. It hurt so much – and, come to think of it, the rain felt sadder today than ever before. How appropriate.

"Wolfram... Listen, okay?" Wolfram only nodded numbly, trying to listen to Yuuri rip out his heart and shred it in front of him. These would be the only words he could cling to for the rest of his life that would remind him of his only love. He might as well make sure he memorized every detail.

"I've been lying to everyone for a while now. About a year, actually." That's about when Yuuri started accepting Wolfram's advances. Wolfram tried not to outwardly cringe. Maybe he did anyway, because Yuuri rushed to add, "Probably not in the way you're thinking, of course! I mean... That is to say... That I feel more than what I've been expressing lately..." Wolfram's ears perked up. More? Could he really... "When Yozak said people have been saying that you're... My... Oh, God, people here are horrible." Yuuri looked at Wolfram with sad eyes. "How could they think you're a whore? How could they question how pure you are? How perfect?" Wolfram blushed and he could have sworn his heart skipped a beat when he heard the intensity of the pain in Yuuri's voice. He really feels this strongly... "I can't lead people who question me – who question you. So I decided to leave. But I don't want to leave you. For the past year I've known that I care more for you than anyone else. That I do want a life with you. That I..." Say it... Say it and I'll die a happy man. I'll have a heart attack right here and now! "That I want you to raise Greta with me. That I want us to be a real family. And mostly that..." The suspense is literally KILLING me! Just say it, Yuuri! "That I..." Yuuri gulped. He hated beating around the bush, and Wolfram looked so hopeful. Gosh, he was so beautiful. The way the fabric clinged to his body right where it counted and – Hooolllyyyy crap, he was saying something! Best he leave the gutters of his mind far from the conversation! He took a deep breath. "That I love you, Wolfr-"

He was cut off by fierce lips covering his own causing him to make a startled squeak. When Wolfram paused, he didn't think twice, he just knew that this was what he'd been waiting for for a year. What Wolfram had been waiting for for two years! He let his eyes slide shut and moved his mouth against Wolfram's, and let the blonde take control from there. A warm tongue licked Yuuri's bottom lip and he obediently opened his mouth. The two were shaking so much on wobbly knees that they nearly collapsed into a heap connected by the mouth to the muddy earth. Wolfram's shaking tentative hand made it's way up Yuuri's shirt, feeling the hard muscles from years of baseball and months of swordsmanship. Yuuri clutched Wolfram's hips, pulling the boy closer to him. Wolfram came up for air with a sharp gasp as certain parts of their anatomy brushed together. Finally, the blonde got a good look at his love. Dark hair clinging to tanned skin with sweat and rain, black eyes clouded with lust and love, mouth parted and swollen from kissing, panting heavily... And covered in mud. Wolfram sighed heavily.

"Oh, you know I love you Yuuri," Wolfram whispered into his ear, kissing and nipping and Yuuri's neck, enjoying the feeling of the younger boy squirming and moaning beneath him. Yuuri tried to maneuver himself so he could kiss Wolfram again, but Wolfram had other plans, pinning both of Yuuri's arms to the ground beneath them. Neither noticed that the rain had lessened only to a light drizzle.

"We have to go back to the castle though. People really are worried about you. They were about to start a search party when I left."

"I told you, I'm just-"

"So you're just going to leave now?" Wolfram shouted incredulously. NOW? After he'd finally gotten what he'd waited so long for. "You're just going to leave me-"

"NO!" Yuuri shouted, wrestling around so he was on top of Wolfram, mud splashing onto both of their faces. "I was going to ask... If you wanted to come back to Earth with me..." Wolfram could only stare up at Yuuri in shocked silence, gaping like a fish.

"You don't have to... Only come if you -"

"WIMP!" Wolfram shouted. Yuuri shut up. "Of course I'll follow you wherever you go... Of course. But.. You can't just leave... What about Greta, the Kingdom? I can't go if you just abandon them! You wouldn't be the Yuuri I fell in love with..." Wolfram was blushing.

"But those people... The rumors, the gossip-"

"I don't care! Are you going to tell me there aren't rumors on Earth?"

"That's not the point! They don't trust their King!"

Wolfram wrestled Yuuri again so Yuuri was underneath him again. He leaned down, pressing against his fiancee in all of the right places to make Yuuri squirm, and whispered, "Then proove them wrong."

Wolfram had agreed to visit Earth with Yuuri so Yurri could obtain a much needed break from the overwhelming workload of being King, but Yuuri had some conditions to meet. First of all he had to notify Gwendal that he took back renouncing his title – which no one had really taken seriously anyway. He had to return to the castle and read Greta a bed-time story, and appointed Annissina to take care of the princess In their absense. And finally, when they got to Earth, Yuuri was to explain to his mother that he was the girl in the relationship, and therefore the wedding dress shopping would be a mother-son thing. But Jennifer was more than welcome to assist Wolfram In finding an appropraite tuxedo.

Yuuri glared at his fiance. "You really are a demon, aren't you?"

A/N: Soo! Should I continue, should I leave it here? Does my writing suck, does it rock? This is my first Kyo Kara Maou Fanfiction, and I hope everyone likes it! I think if I continue there will be some drama with Shori and some of Yuuri's friends, but overall it should have a more lighthearted tone. Let me know if you'd continue to read I guess. I love me some WolfYuu! Also if I continue, let me know if I should bump up the rating... ;)

Finally, you should know that I am completely disregarding Season 3, since I never watched it. I felt like season two had an adequate ending, unless they were going to ADD some more shounen-ai-ish scenes. Instead, I heard they removed Wolfie screen time. So I stopped watching .
