H-huh?!! Why me? Look I know you've been busy but -- HEY! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!!?!?!

[ He knows you aren't buying that apocalypse story so you have no reason not to okay! ]

.........and what's with that name? [ Really mun? Really? ]

Look. I don't know why you picked me, or what you want with me but you've got the wrong guy!

[ Okay maybe not but he can try. Why do these things always happen to him? ]

[bielefelt]

Why would she have picked the "wrong guy"?

You should speak to her more respectfully, wimp!

They're giving you a chance to speak with us, after all!

[advantageous]

Don't call me a wimp!

[ Still, he has to say - Wolfram has a point. ]

I guess... I mean. I guess I just don't get why.

[ Why him of all people that is. Because okay maybe he's not that thrilled about the whole idea of what comes with being a muse, but he does have to admit that it does have it's perks. ]

[bielefelt]

Hmph! It's probably because you're the Maou, of course. And she thinks she can play you well.

[ ... ]

I can't say you wouldn't be easy to play, but if you ask me, I'd think she chose you because you're unique.

[advantageous]

Yeah I guess...

[ … ]

Hey wait what do yo mean 'easy'?! [ He's not sure 'unique' is a compliment either, even if it is pretty accurate (in both good and bad ways). But he'll take that over easy any day. ]

[bielefelt]

"I'm Shibuya Yuuri, Harajuku Furi! I really like baseball! I'm engaged to my beautiful, wonderful fiancé, Wolfram von Bielefelt! I'm the Maou of Shin Makoku, but I'm a big wimp! Oh, and don't call me a wimp. I don't like fighting! Save me, Morgif! PUNISHMENT!"

[ grins now with a triumphant look ]

How did I do? And, see? "Easy".

...And also "unique".

[advantageous]

[ ...ouch. As much as he hates to admit it, Wolfram did hit most of his defining character points.

...although Yuuri wouldn't have said it quiiiite like that. ]

I don't know, I guess I'd give you a 8.5/10...

[ What little pride he has won't let him go any higher than that. ]

[bielefelt]

Hmph! It was obviously worth a ten! I know my fiancé better than anyone.

[ a beat ]

...A-And for that matter, "unique" isn't always meant in a bad way.

[advantageous]

Well, I guess being Maou is kind of different.

[ Of all the things about him that's... really the thing that sticks out the most. And that's a title, not really a quality.

...and that's not counting that bit about his engagement, which... even he isn't sure how he feels about some days. ]

I don't know... I don't feel all that different.

[ He still feels pretty much like the same boring, ordinary high school student most days. ]

[bielefelt]

It's not just being the Maou that makes you unique, Yuuri!

[ what do you mean not really a quality! ]

...You are you.

[advantageous]

[ It might contradict what you said earlier a liiittle bit, but when Yuuri smiles, its because he believes those words. ]

...thanks Wolfram.

[bielefelt]

[ it doesn't contradict anything at all! but Wolfram will look a bit more relaxed now. ]

It's nothing to thank me about.

A-And you're my fiancé, so you might have some particularly good qualities. Other than uniqueness.

[advantageous]

Haha..ha...

[Every time they have a talk about this he almost always regrets it but here goes.... ]

Well its not like you picked me or anything...

[And he doesn't know how to tactfully ask if its what Wolfram really wants... and why.] ]

[bielefelt]

I didn't, at first, but that doesn't mean you're not worthy of -- my attention --

[ he fumbles with his words now, but then seems to become more determined. ]

You still haven't figured it out, wimp? No matter how many times I say it...

[advantageous]

Say what?! [So basically no, he doesn't get it.] You keep saying 'youryou'd fiancé' but why do you care so much?

[Yes he is incredibly dense. But one could say that the fact thar he's showing an interest is an improvement.]

sorry for the late!

[bielefelt]

Because I care!

[ and as if that should answer all of Yuuri's questions, he'll now cross his arms and huff. ]

...And because unlike you, I'm serious about our engagement!

[ but he'll continue on anyway ]

So when I say "I love you", that I "want to get married to you" --

That's my true feelings, Yuuri, no matter how it started.

[ Okay, so maybe he was a bit blunt with that "confession", but he's not sure how else to spell it out for Yuuri other than doing something like -- kiss him -- but that just brings back memories of when Shinou possessed him to try to get him to kiss Yuuri... so this might just have to do for now. ]

aww don't worry about it; I don't mind at all :D

[advantageous]

[ You'd think he might have noticed - maybe even just considered the possibility. Buuuut this is Shibuya Yuuri we're talking about and unfortunately, the blunt truth is usually what it takes to make him see. Anyone else would have thought about it after Shinou's stunt and their "foreseen futures". However, Yuuri's density and great power of denial allowed him to think it was irrelevant.

But though he might be an idiot - he isn't really a jerk.

Knowing it now... meant he had to accept it. He'd have to... think about what to do.

And worst of all - think about his own feelings.

After all this time he... needs a minute to let this sink in. And his face goes through a great number of expressions before he manages to say anything. ]

You're serious...

[bielefelt]

[ Wolfram knows Yuuri isn't a jerk, no matter how frustrated he may become at Yuuri sometimes, and despite the assumptions he makes about Yuuri. ]

[ he'll watch Yuuri's changing expressions curiously while trying to keep his own expression from changing too much in response. ]

You were supposed to figure it out on your own, but you are just too slow.

S-So I thought I'd help you with that.

Even though I've been serious from the very start!
