To Hold

I am back! Sooner than expect ... but i was doing homework and got side tracked with this and since i am up already i thought i might as well upload this for everyone ... so enjoy

Same thing, I do not own this anime …



Haha I thought it was Wolfman … it actually Wolfram … or was it the first one … if you know please tell me, because right now I am confused



--Gwendal POV--



I woke up early the next morning, to simply bask in the situation I was in. I guess I must have done something right, at some point. The king is still in my lap, though throughout the night he has ended up facing me with his head on my shoulder. How he accomplished such a position with cuffs and not waking me up on is beyond me. Though as pleasant as this position is, the fact that he is breathing on my neck in such a way is causing unwanted reactions.



‘Unwanted? Oh I have not doubt it is very wanted. Or are you embarrassed?’ the voice goes from sexual innuendos into insults within three sentences. Oh lucky me.



I let a sigh of annoys slip through my lips before I start to wake the king up. I shake him gently at first, only receiving mumble response about “do wanna go to school” or something along those lines.



As a let another sigh leave my mouth; I have been doing that a lot since I have been stuck with the king, I feel him stir. Now it would have not been so bad if he just yawn, stretched and then woke up. No, life never seems that simple. He needs to wiggle, stretch, wiggle some more and then wiggle one last time then stretch a final time. Though the final time he decides to stretch, he rubs against me! I feel like hitting my head against the rocks behind me just to let some frustration out. When it appears he has finally stopped moving around, I look down into a pair of black eyes still full of sleep.



“Good morning” I whisper to him and bush the back of my hand against his face. A blush spreads across his face, and he final wakes up. What a naïve boy.



“Morning” he mumbles back to me, as I see him taking in the position we are in. If I was any less of a Mazoku, I would have a blush on my cheeks too. Thankfully I am not, and I am able to hold back the heat rising to my face. Though the dear king does not have the luxury, he went from a dusty blush to a full fledge red face.

I would have laughed out loud at how quickly the king scrambled off my lap if I did not wish to upset him any more than he already is.



I clear my throat to get his attention before speaking, “we should pack up and head to the next town, your highness”.



He moves closer to me, until our faces a few inches apart before he speaks with a somewhat demanding tone, “it is ‘Yuuri’, not your highness” To say I am speechless would be an understatement. No one, expect those the king deems fit may call them by their first name. And he just gave me permission to use it.



“Then shall we head out, Yuuri” I almost purred out his name, though caught myself in the last minute. Nevertheless, he gives me another one of his bright smiles and nods.



--Time Skip--



We finally reach the capital of Suberera, a little too soon for my liking. Though I guess it would be unwise to keep these cuffs on longer than need be. Also, it makes certain tasks harder … like packing up the camp site. What else do you think I meant. Pervert.



Here is another reason why I dislike humans: because of their need to stare. How uncommon is it for two people to walk around a town cuffed together. Okay, I would even find it strange, but there is no need to stare!

“Is that a well?” the king sounds excited, unfortunately there is no water in there. I pull on the cuffs to stop him. No need to go anywhere else expect to the church to get rid of these cuffs. I hand him over my water to tie him over until we can get out of here.



Just when I thought we were free, what happens? The king’s dumb luck follows us, and we walk into a wedding. Oh how much I dislike weddings.



“Prefect timing” the priest yells, but what is prefect timing? For the love of Maou, do not tell me he believes that we are …



“Can the couple bonded with love offer their blessings?” I can feel my eye twitching. If I could, I would strangle that man right now. And once more, I offer an example of human idiocy.



‘Though you should feel complimented with all of their ‘bonded’ comments.’ Why? ‘Because so many people think that you two look right together. It shows that people think that you two can be together, if not already so.’ The little voice replies proudly, and I almost agree with him.



“That’s not what this is!” I have no doubt by the end of this little escapade, my hearing may be lost. Why does he always have to yell so much? Maybe it is another ‘teenage’ thing which hopefully he will grow out of. I am still waiting the day Wolfram grows out of his little tantrums. Though unlike my brother’s mood swings, I do not always mind his, but it usually happens in the outdoors, not an enclosed place, that echoes.



“He is my brother’s fiancé” I tell the priest, and hopefully end this pointless discussion, and get these cuffs removed.



“Oh! How passionate!” Why oh why, are humans so very very dense? I almost felt like smacking myself in the face, after the old man’s comment.



The king … Yuuri makes another comment and then starts talking about ‘important part of a happy marriage’. How could someone as young as him know anything about marriage. However as I listen more, I realize that our dear Maoh actually knows nothing about marriage. Though some how through his whole speech, which I could not follow for the life of me, we end up running away with the bride. Once again, he has gotten us into another unwanted situation.



To add to our troubles, we found out that the human and Mazoku we were mistaken for was this women and her lover. The wonders of coincidences … And the man or husband happens to none other than Geigen Huber Brischella, my dear cousin. Now I am wondering around time, with that man’s wife. I can not control the anger in me and end up hitting the wall.



Both presences give me a startled look, and I almost feel bad for scaring the king, but it passes as my anger diminishes. Though to think, not even a few hours ago, I was pleasantly content, and now this. Oh how I would love to kill my dear cousin. He got a human pregnant! Out of all the ill responsible things!



Then some random child comes and saves us. Nothing like being ‘rescued’ by a child, at least he is half Mazoku. But still, a child who was ‘saved’ by him. I hate him so much.



I am brought back into my thoughts with the Maoh staring at me, asking if there is any water. He would be lost without someone watching him. I let a sigh out, and reply to his question “There is no water in Suberera, the wells are dried up”



After another discussion about food and drinks, the woman gives the child her ring and sends him off. My curiosity gets the better of me and I ask the human about him. Of course, it is some romantic story. Does this woman not know what the man she loves did?! Though at least he did something good, he found the Mateki.

So now we have the Mateki, one up sides to all of this. But, we also have company. Of course the women’s ring; the guards would have been looking for it. Such a foolish mistake.



“Come out!” Why does the king have such bad luck? We are now surrounded by humans. And what do they do? They yell at us, removing their element of surprise. Idiotic barbarics. We send the woman and child away and decide to face off against the humans.



This fight would have been easier if it was not for these cuffs, but I guess we have to make do. However, this would be a little better if the king knew how to fight. That will have to be fixed when we get back. We do not need a king who can not defend himself until re-enforcements come.



I turn in time to see the king fall and the approaching man. This will hurt later, but I can deal with it … for him at least. I take a dive and cover the young king under me, while those barbarians attack. Thankfully their bit is not has bad as their bark, which isn’t much to being with.



“We’re just elopers” might as well use what they have been saying all along. “We met that woman by accident” Hopefully this will give that woman enough time to get out, and save us from any other unnecessary fights.

“I’m sorry. For me, you …” Yuuri whispers to me, and that in itself is enough to make this entire ordeal bearable. How much I wish I could just hold him tight against me, and tell him everything will be alright. That I would do it again without second thought? However, my pride will not allow it, and the picture of my younger brother appears in my minds eyes and I know I must stop this before it gets too far.



I hold up the dolphin he has given me, and with a straight face I lie to him “I dropped this. I was just picking it up”

Wow that was freaking long! I am not too sure of the likelihood of this happening again. I even had to cut this one short, though I thought I went out on a good note. I was thinking about breaking it up, but the only smooth spot to do it would have been at the Time Skip section, which would have made the chapter four very short. And I am also lazy. So I hope you enjoyed the especially long chapter

As a side note, who here finds Morgif (the sword) so damn cute!
