Part One
Back at Blood Pledge Castle, the moon looming high in the sky, Conrad’s steps took him to the door of Yuuri’s bedroom. He raised a hand to rest against the polished wood. There were so many times that he wanted to turn the knob and enter. But he dared not for various reasons. Conrad sighed. No doubt, Wolfram had likely snuck inside earlier anyway, snuggling underneath the sheets. He tried not to envy his brother in this. Pulling away, he turned to head down the dimly lit hallway toward his own quarters.
Beyond the door, Yuuri lay in bed, sleeping deeply. In his dreams, he was standing with darkness surrounding him, yet he could feel the heat of the sun on his face. Somehow, he knew that the sky was a clear blue, though he could not see it. Slowly, strong arms began to encircle his waist to pull him close, a large and somehow familiar figure draping itself over him. Then there was a deep voice murmuring close to his ear, and he felt himself smile. Roused from the dream, Yuuri blinked at the rays of the sun streaming in through the window onto his bed. He noted that nearby lay the form of Wolfram, wrapped in a bundle of covers and snoring loudly. Yuuri sighed, rising from the bed to head toward the window. He stood in the rays of light before resting his head on the windowpane, absently gazing at the scenery below. Forgotten memory seemed to nag at him as he placed his arms around himself, trying to hold onto the fading sensation of warmth that his dream had held. It seemed so familiar somehow, but he couldn’t place the source of it.
Yuuri turned at the sound of the door opening. Conrad appeared at the entrance to call him down to breakfast when a look of concern passed across his face. Yuuri smiled uneasily, telling the man that he’d be there in a few moments. Nodding, Conrad pulled the door closed, still troubled by the odd look on Yuuri’s face that he’d initially been greeted with. He shook it off, assuring himself that he was being more protective of the teen than usual due to recent events. The brunette headed down the corridor to seek out the dining room below. Inside the room, Yuuri let out a large sigh as he headed over to the bed to shake Wolfram awake from his slumber.
