Gwendal knew that his words would upset Wolfram, he knew that someone had to bring the facts into light before the fool allowed himself to fall entirely back into love only to get crushed again by the truth, but he hadn’t expected him to lock himself in his room again.

“Gee, I wonder what’s up with Wolfram,” Yuri said at dinner as his eyes traced Wolfram’s empty seat. “He was in such a good mood this morning…do you think something happened to him?” He looked at Gwendal when he asked this, but the mad made no signals of having heard him. Yuri felt that this was intentional and glowered at him.

Once more Gwendal was hiding something from him that pertained to Wolfram. Why did he keep doing that?

“What do you think, Gwendal?” He ventured, forcing the man to acknowledge him.

“I think you need to stay out of it, frankly.” No one made a sound and all eyes locked on him, for a lot of reasons.

“How can you say that?” Yuri said firmly. “He’s my fiancé.” He smiled as he added it, and Conrad assumed that he was trying to lighten the mood.

“Stop it,” Gwendal spat. “It’s not fair to him to do that.” Yuri just stared at him, as did everyone else.

“What do you mean?” Yuri murmured.

“You know what I mean,” Gwendal said, ice in his words. “You called off your engagement once, an engagement you made by accident and were too inconsiderate to call it off, then you allow him to delude himself into thinking that you proposed again!”

“I did propose!” Yuri cried out angrily.

“On accident! Again!” Conrad touched his older brother’s shoulder, only to have it shoved away.

“Is that what you told him?” Yuri shouted. “That I lied when I told him I didn’t want to take it back this time?” Gwendal glared at him icily. “Answer,” he breathed, voice and eyes dripping with rage that surprised everyone. They had seen the Maou’s eyes look like that, but never just Yuri’s.

“I told Wolfram the truth.”

“And what was the truth?” Yuri shouted.

“That you didn’t have it in you to crush him again!” Yuri forced himself to swallow his rage. Shouting wouldn’t solve anything, he knew, and he’d have to think.

He’d been correct in his assumptions. It was Gwendal that had interfered and chased Wolfram away again. But, Gwendal only did it because he was afraid that Wolfram would be hurt. However, by telling Wolfram what he thought to be the truth, it hurt him badly, maybe even worse. Being told that by someone he trusted unconditionally…he had no choice but to believe him.

“I’m going to go talk to Wolfram,” Yuri said. “Maybe he won’t listen to me, but I’m not going to let him think that I don’t care about him.”

“He doesn’t think you don’t care,” Gwendal said, his voice losing most of its passion, but Yuri wasn’t waiting around to listen. He left the dining hall and went straight to Wolfram’s room. Maybe, he thought as his hand rested against the doorknob, maybe Wolfram wouldn’t listen. Maybe he’d be to hurt or too blind. Maybe he’d see it as more mockery. But maybe, just maybe, he’d see that Gwendal hadn’t been right.

At least Yuri didn’t think that Gwendal had been right.

Gwendal…he always seemed to be around when trouble erupted.
