You know what doesn't exist on the entire internet? A map of the world of Kyou Kara Maoh. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm not going to let that stand in my way.
Tumblr media
I culled all the map pieces from three seasons of the Anime and let me tell you something: the art team didn't have any kind of a map either, because there were like, three different depictions of where Caloria was. I blended them as best I could and tried to come up with something that sort of made sense and accounted for the places Yuuri and the gang travel to. I divided Cimaron into 9 provinces for my story so I added them to the map since it's my map and I can do what I like. If Amazon can frick with the geography of Middle Earth I can muck about with geography that doesn't even exist.
I'll probably add some mountain ranges at some point, the eastern continent is really flat. If I make any additions to the map I'll reblog the changes to this post with the same tags.
If you write for KKM and want to use my map (unlikely), feel free. Just be sure to credit me.

Hello! I have a kkm question if you don't mind; has canon confirmed at what rate Yuuri is aging?
Hello!
Japanese fans had the same question and asked it to Takabayashi-sensei, who answered it in "Maru maru maru-MA", page 68.
Question: "Mazokus real age is "5 times that of their appearance" but Yuuri's appearance is that of his age, will this continue to be so? And if that's the case, does that mean that in 15 years he will look like a middle-aged man in his 30s and look older than Conrad and Wolfram and everyone else?"
Takabayashi-sensei: "While he's on Earth it's unlikely that Yuuri's aging process will change unless due to some extreme circumstances, but since Shin Makoku is in another world, where time passes differently, there is a possibility that coming and going from one world to another causes a gap between his appearance and age."
The canon itself though does make a point of Venera, a normal human, ending up living an extremely long life due to interacting with the forbidden box. As of novel 17, Yuuri has touched his box, so… most likely his age/life span has already been altered in several ways.
If I'm not mistaken (and I could be) even Greta's aging seems to have been altered due to being in a place full of maryoku... but please don't make me look for that source,,, cuz it might not exist XD "The lady is a witch" might be a place to go digging for that... maybe "do you want an exorcism" or something. On earth, however, aging occurs for everyone equally :)
Edit: WAIT A MOMENT, that's not true, damn Bob has lived way longer! wtf! XDD
I guess the right answer is, aging will occur depending on whether the author thinks it should or not XDDD

Lol, it is sooo nice to come across someone who still cares about kkm in 2024 😭 just gonna send as an ask so we aren't tag paragraphing back and forth. (Tried just messaging, but you know the tumblr app's reliabilty...)
I have so many thoughts on wolfram and yuuri as people and how they would work as a couple
Re: your original tags i 100% agree that yuuri would be the one to initiate their actual relationship with a kiss he didn't even put any thought into, body just acted. 
I've had this vague fanfic idea in my head for the past like... 10 years (i can't believe i first watched it so long ago) that after getting used to wolfram being his best friend and enjoying being around him in that way for a couple years yuuri would start to catch feelings without even realizing it. Then he'd kiss wolfram in some dramatic dangerous context (like your comic) and immediately fall through a puddle back to earth once the danger is over, without getting the chance to talk to wolfram about it. 
And then yuuri is just like, stuck on earth for a whole month or 2. Ruminating on the kiss, using 2007 style discussion boards to try to figure out his sexuality (😂 poor kid). Maybe watching some random movie (i genuinely don't have a specific one in mind) and realizing that the 2 male main characters have crazy chemisty, remembering something about shipping from that discussion board, searching male character A x male character B and reading some fanfic/seeing some fanart that makes him go "shit maybe i am into guys." Then he like... reads a real romance novel or something that his mom buys him (a teen book! I should clarify. His mom is quirky but not totally oblivous to what would be appropriate), because she's supportive and knows he'd never buy one on his own. And he talks to her a few times about this realization throughout this 2 months. 
Basically, i like the idea of yuuri being forced away from wolfram and all the normalized queerness of shin makoku and still coming to the conclusion that he likes wolfram and wants to be with him. And "hey, im not even gonna be living on earth much past the age of 18 anyway, so why should i care about any of these cultural norms anymore? And my family gets it, so honestly, fuck it."
And then he finally gets back to shin makoku and word vomits/lays this 2 months worth of soul searching at wolfram's feet.
And wolfram is just like, "well it's actually been 8 months or something for me. Glad you figured all that shit out, even though i still don't get what the big deal was, but i definitely panic spiralled into thinking you weren't coming back ever again because of that kiss. So honestly, i'm pretty happy right now. But ngl, you reciprocating my feelings is a little... off putting? No, maybe more like... completely unexpected. I'm in no way prepared for this."
And then their dynamic switches to wolfram being the one who's kind of uncomfortable with public displays of affection (he still likes it, but is noticeably shy/tense). And yuuri just trying his best to not spook wolfram and understand why he's like this now.
And it all just culminates in them having a talk in bed before the fall asleep a couple months after yuuri comes back where wolfram trys to explain how high up on a pedestel yuuri is in his mind and how, to him, it feels like them actually being together is just dragging yuuri down. And how yes, he loves yuuri romantically, but it's also so much more than that. He loves him as his  untouchable best friend who he was JUST getting used to always being out of romatic reach when yuuri got spirited away to earth for 8 months. He loves yuuri as his king. He loves him as an IDEAL. So being with him as his actual fiancé is going to be a slow process. It's a lot to recontextualize in wolfram's head.
But yuuri is fine with that because he's like 18ish/still a teenager at this point and wasn't ready to get married immediately anyway. 
Thanks for the invite to head canon dump on you. It feels good to share these vague ideas for a story i'll never write with another person who GETS the ship in the same way i do 💞
I'm also eager to hear any head canons/ideas you have about these 2. We're def on the same wavelength in terms of wanting to give the characters in kkm more context and agency outside of it being a silly little fantasy adventure thing (with a weirdly well fleshed out world, to be fair) 😂
REAL....... ur so real for everything here..... i think this is 100% how it would go. love the 2007 forums 😭 hes troubleshooting his homosexuality like its a game bug or smth thats so in-character i also agree w the wolf being startled by the reciprocation thing like he would 100% not be able to handle yuuri becoming "real" to him. like an actual option to date and stuff cuz my hc (bc i love suffering) is that he kind of likes or its convenient? that yuuri doesn't reciprocate cuz its so easy to be devoted when u dont have an actual relationship to talk abt and its one sided. it also gets more fanatical that way (aka yearning is stronger when it is left unfulfilled LOL) i also feel like he doesnt deserve it 2 some degree, not that hes not confident but that it's not his place. i feel like this is common in fanart/fic but where yuuri is like ok so can we kiss now and wolf is like ? kiss? we are a symbolic union between blah blah blah
BUT YEAH...... ALSO I LOVE THEM HAVING TALKS TOGETHER IN BED its just so.... like nice 2me...... the vibe of like having to sleep together.. the heart to hearts in bed is so funny but nice. the 16 year olds having a heart to heart while playing house (as a married couple) like the dissonance between their emotional immaturity and the tension and the closeness between them is so juicyyyy like SLEEPOVER TIME except ur discussing ur divorce arc w a 16 year old boysoldier who wants to die for you So Bad
my personal hcs/pure self indulgent bs under cut
ok first i feel like i have to clarify that i dont think that my hcs are canon i just like to have fun w kkm chars like dolls lmfaoooo..... but here are my self indulgent how-they-get-together-hcs ALSO its been like a solid two or three months since i last thought in depth abt kkm so i might be messing some details up
i kinda like the idea of wolf drifting apart from yuuri (from his constant rejection as well as duty and circumstance) and yuuri never reciprocates during this time (also never realizes) and eventually wolf goes off to bielefelt to do his duties and become the patriarch after everything settles. (i also like greta a lot so this is where she goes off to her own nation and wanders as a knight and alsooooo has a lesbianism with beatrice at around 20? years old..?) ANYWAYS they're in kind of awkward limbo and 2 yuuri wolf is someone he wishes he was closer to like when they were kids but isn't and he also avoids him from the guilt/shame of rejecting his feelings
at this pt yuuri has noticed in hindsight that he was in love w wolf but anyways something happens (like an attack) and wolf and yuuri are stuck living together again, wolf is once again risking his life for yuuri and his actions sort of betray that he's still just as in love w him as he was before they separated, he just decided that it would be better not to burden him with his feelings (at this pt he's self-aware that 16 year old wolf had a lot of baggage and codependency lumped in with love like the deifying stuff) and eventually yuuri reveals that he thinks he was in love with him too and wolf has to confront the fact that he wasn't looking for romance in the first place and also that yuuri is still too bright for him to touch (in his mind) so he's kinda like i do my job and u do urs for the good of this nation. BUT OFC they eventually get together after a lot of awkward divorcedness YAAAYYYYYYYY
OH ALSO unrelated to prev scenario but one thing i love ab ur hc and teen yuuram is the contrast between the world-ending desperation of wolf's love and the teenage first crush sweetness of yuuri's. I LOVE THE IDEA OF WOLF BEING LIKE. "i would die on the cross for you" (wiping the blood from his brow) and yuuri's just like "ok lets take this one step at a time" the part of the ship that's just yuuri getting to be an awkward gay teen and wolf eventually discovering awkward teen crushisms is sooo cute to me. like discovering that holding hands in a romantic context does not at all feel like what they did in the closet!! soo sweet and cute
ok ty for listening THIS IS SO LONG IM SORRRRYYYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭 feel free 2 throw ur hcs at me anytime...!!! ^^

Kyou Kara Maou! Present for you Drama CD Track 1
Prologue
Shibuya household ・ Yuuri's room
------Yuuri sleeping in bed.
Yuuri: Ahhh (Yawn) Crap...... What time is it?
------Shouri slams the door open and loudly rushes into the room.
Shouri: Seriously! All the text in this world is written too small and I can't read it!
Yuuri: (Small laugh) ......Hey, Shouri, what's wrong? 
Shouri: Call me Onii-chan!
Yuuri: I don't want to!
Shouri: But anyway. (He points to the calendar) Yuu-chan, look at this! What is today's date!?
------Shouri gets on the bed.
Yuuri: Wait, wait. Huh? A calendar? You can read that, can't you?
Shouri: No. The text is too small and I can't read it!!!!
Yuuri: Woah, don't put it so close to my face. Huh? The letters are huge. What are you talking about?
Shouri: (Disappointed sigh) What is today's date?
Yuuri: November 22nd? Tomorrow is Labor Thanksgiving Day so it's a holiday!
Shouri: There's something before that, isn't there? Here......
Yuuri: Ah, it's 1122 so it's iifufu (good couples) day? Isn't it mom and dad's wedding anniversary? No, I don't think that's right. But I'm sure it's "good couples" day? And because of that, those two left for a week long vacation overseas yesterday.
Shouri: Yeah. Leaving their two cute, growing, hungry boys behind
Yuuri: You're already grown, Shouri. And you're not cute either.
Shouri: What was that? Does that mean you think you're the only one growing and cute Yuu-chan!? That's - so - cute!
Yuuri: Stop, I don't think that so get me out of this headlock!
Shouri: This is an embrace of love!
Yuuri: Ah, I really don't need that......  and you know, I have a fiance.
Shouri: Ah! Wol-wol, huh? If only he were a girl in a men's military uniform.
Yuuri: Wo-...... What's with that name? But Shouri, if you like girls in military uniforms, I'll introduce you to Gisela.
Shouri: What? Really? Introduce me!
Yuuri: Eh? I didn't think you'd accept.
Shouri: Why not? Gisela would be good. During the day she's a beautiful healer and at night she's a hardcore demon sergeant, right? She's got that gap moe!
Yuuri: Well it doesn't have anything to do with day or night..... But I see, Shouri's into that. Ah, I mean, Okay. I think it would be good, too? But...
Shouri: But?
Yuuri: If it goes well, your father in law would be Günter...
Shouri: Ah...... yeah. Anyway, back on topic.
Yuuri: Sure.
Shouri: Today is my birthday.
Yuuri: .........Today? Isn't it tomorrow?
Shouri: NO! It's today. Today is my, Shibuya Shouri's, birthday!
Yuuri: Eh...? I always thought it was tomorrow. Ah, so that's what was up with the calendar?
Shouri: That's right. I was thinking that the reason the whole Shibuya family has neglected my birthday up until now was because none of you could read the dates on the calendar! 
Yuuri: I'm sorry! ......Huh? But why was it that I always thought that your birthday was tomorrow?
Shouri: Heh...... Oh that. That's because I'm always striving to be a good big brother to you, Yuu-chan! That's right, November 23rd isn't Labor Thanksgiving Day! It's 1123 aka iinisan (good big brother) day! In other words, my honorary birthday is tomorrow!
Yuuri: Oh, so you told me that yourself. So then, can't it just be tomorrow?
Shouri: No! Why are you always so cold to your big brother, Yuu-chan?
------Shouri lays over Yuuri on the bed.
Yuuri: You're just too clingy, Shouri! Ah, uncle, uncle! Get off me. I have school today so I don't have time to play around with you!
Shouri: ......Then that means that you'll be able to spend good big brother day with me tomorrow, right?
Yuuri: Eh? Why?
Shouri: WHY? Because around your birthday you always have the Shin Makoku gang interfering, preventing us from building our brotherly love! So at least for my birthday let me have you all to myself, Yuu-chan!
Yuuri: ......Ah, but this weekend I have baseball practice.
Shouri: GAH! Baseball or me, which is more important!?
Yuuri: Eh? Baseball, obviously... but I'm sorry for forgetting about your birthday! So, for your present, if I were to give you something priceless, what would you like?
Shouri: You want it to be priceless, huh? Well that's fine. How about we go eat tasty meat for dinner tomorrow, my treat?
Yuuri: Eh? Yes! ......ah, but that would just make me happy
Shouri: What makes you happy makes me happy, Yuu-chan. Would you like to go to all you can eat yakiniku?
Yuuri: Yay, seriously!? Let's go! Wah! I love you, Onii-chan!
Shouri: Guu..... that's it! Those are the pure words I've wanted to hear!
Yuuri: Ah, that's right, Murata's parents are also out of town this weekend since they had to go to Hong Kong for work so he's alone. Can I invite Murata to dinner too?
Shouri: No. NO! Why do I have to buy him meat!?
Yuuri: So I can't?
Shouri: Don't give me that cute head tilt! ...... I know! Bring him over the day after tomorrow. Since Bob is coming back to Japan we can get a full course meal out of him. 
Yuuri: We wouldn't be allowed to tag along with you to that, would we?
Shouri: It'll be fine. Since he's the Maou of Earth. And you're the Maou of Shin Makoku. Murata's known Bob for a long time hasn't he? It's diplomacy! Besides Bob's the one paying.
Yuuri: Is that really okay?
Shouri: ......Well, to be perfectly honest, I want you to come.
Yuuri: Huh? Why?
Shouri: Because..... You know, I'm turning 21?
Yuuri: You are?
Shouri: Hey. Don't get caught up on that part. Let's just suppose that for some convenient reason the timeline of the world we live in has conveniently repeated for 15 years, in other words an "isono world" (TN: Referencing Sazae-san. A Japanese anime kind of like the Simpsons that people never age.). Let's just assume that! Just how many times do you think you'd have turned 16 by now?
Yuuri: (Chokes) ......Ah... yeah.
Shouri: And also, when I graduate from college, Bob wants to transfer the role of Maou to me and that's a little bit of a problem.
Yuuri: Shouri, do you not want to become the Maou?
Shouri: Nah, it's like using a cheat code to play the stock market, I think it's definitely better than becoming the mayor of Tokyo.
Yuuri: Then there's no problem, is there?
Shouri: That's true. I would like to let him retire in comfort soon. ......But Bob keeps saying that once he abdicates he wants to disappear like it's his catchphrase.
Yuuri: Huh? Why?
Shouri: Since Bob's reign has been particularly long, and it's been during a period of economic development for the whole world, he's become somewhat of a symbol of the prosperity of the mazoku. Since there's still a lot of mazoku in the upper ranks that are Bob supporters, he thinks if he's where they can see him that it would be a hindrance to my reign.
Yuuri: ......Isn't that overthinking it a bit?
Shouri: Well, it's because unlike in your case, the Maou here is nominated. The Mazoku of Earth are troublesome. They can be really jealous.
Yuuri: Is it that different here?
Shouri: Over there the Maou is selected by Shinou, right? Officially. The qualifications for being Maou are determined by your soul before you're even born so nobody can really complain about it.
Yuuri: Ahh, I see!
Shouri: ......Well, I guess even though you're a rare Maou with black eyes and hair, you have had troubles since you were born on Earth. Like how your mother is a human and such.
Yuuri: Pretty much the only one who's had a problem with that is Wolfram though.
Shouri: And now he's your wife.
Yuuri: No, he's not my wife.
Shouri: Well, I guess when you get negative points at the beginning, you can get an explosion of points later to take them down easily.
Yuuri: Could you stop comparing everything to games like that?
Shouri: ......Well, that's why I think it'd be good for you and that scheming four-eyes to come to the dinner with Bob with me. So that would be a priceless birthday present for me.
Yuuri: If you're okay with that then okay...... but Shouri
Shouri: Hm?
Yuuri: I just had a thought. Politicians have secretaries right? Even when someone is taking over from their parents or teachers, they have their successor act as their secretary.
Shouri: Ah, that's true
Yuuri: Yeah. So, Shouri, why can't you do that?
Shouri: ......Huh?
Yuuri: You're still young. You can act as Bob's secretary for a few years to study, and during that time you can work on winning over his stubborn supporters, right?
Shouri: (Shocked) Ah, ahhhh....... I see...... that's true.
Yuuri: That's right. And I think being a secretary would suit you. It's just a feeling though.
Shouri: I see. A capable, glasses-wearing secretary is quite a popular character type.
Yuuri: Chara-......?
Shouri: ......Okay it's decided! I'll be Bob's secretary for a while!
Yuuri: I think it would be good. But Shouri, you like Bob quite a bit then, huh?
Shouri: Well, yeah. I've known him since I was a kid, and he's like a master of life that I can respect.
Yuuri: That's a good thing to have.
Shouri: (Smiles) Right? ......But sometimes you're pretty smart, Yuuri. I've been worrying over this for a while and you solved it just like that!
Yuuri: Yes! That's the first time you're praised me, Shouri!
Shouri: Call me Onii-chan! Onii-chan! And what do you mean by that? I'm always praising you going (Grabs in hug) Yuu-chan☆ you're so cute! Aren't I?
Yuuri: I told you to stop hugging me. (Pulls away) I really don't need you to do that!
-----The electronic sound of an alarm going off.
Yuuri: (Looking at the clock) Ahh, crap, it's already this late!? I need to get dressed. If I don't run I'll be late for school!
-----Yuuri gets out of bed and starts changing.
Shouri: (in monologue) ......My name is Shibuya Shouri. I was born into a quite normal middle class Japanese family, who got through school quite normally with excellent grades, easily got into Hitotsubashi University, a man with a bright and promising future, who can really taste the difference (dabada!) *reference to https://youtu.be/qAxiBxReyw4
Yuuri: That's so creepy..... And who are you talking to?
Shouri (Ignoring him) The only thing different was! Yuu-chan and I were Maou-sama who could even put fear into the hearts of children! (Serious voice) This is an epic love story about the sibling bond between me and my brother, Yuu-chan!
Yuuri: Wait. This isn't that kind of story.
-----Music swells.
Yuuri: Eh? Ah! It's the opening credits!? Huh? Now? Ah, okay (clears his throat)
[opening credits]
Yuuri: Original work by Takabayashi Tomo. The first Maruma series drama CD in a long while!
Shouri: (cutting in) Kyou Kara Maou Brothers!
Yuuri: Hey! That's not the title!
Shouri: This is my title! "Kyou Kara Maou Brothers! ~More trouble at the Shibuya household! Even though the older brother's birthday is actually November 22nd, for his little brother he's fine with making it November 23rd, it doesn't even anymore, Yuu-chan's so cute! Yuu-chan ☆ special!~"
Yuuri: S-So long...... but that's not right!
[the opening credits again]
Yuuri: Maruma series special drama cd "Present for you!"
Shibuya household - night
-----Yuuri calling Murata's cell phone from their house phone.
Yuuri: ......and that's what I woke up to this morning!
Murata: Aahahaha. He has such an intense brother complex, as always.
Yuuri: Stop. And when I came back from school he'd left a note in my room.
Murata: A note?
Yuuri: He does that sometimes. It's inter-family correspondence. Though Shouri's the only one who leaves them.
Murata: Ahh..... you're so loved, huh?
Yuuri: Since it's in an envelope I'm scared and haven't opened it. I just shoved it in the pocket of my sweats.
Murata: You should read it!
Yuuri: Not right now, it's too troublesome. ------So, is the night after tomorrow good for you, Murata?
Murata: Of course. I'll make sure to come hungry!
Yuuri: Ahh... but I can't believe today is stupid Shouri's birthday.
Murata: So you care about these sorts of things, Shibuya? Is your brother in his room right now?
Yuuri: No. He said he has something he needs to do with some friends from college tonight and he'll be home late.
Murata: Then since we have the chance. We can go now!
Yuuri: ......Huh?
-----Sound of phone hanging up.
Yuuri: He hung up! What does he mean? Go where?
-----Sound of the Shibuya household's doorbell ringing.
Yuuri: Hm? Yes! Who could it be this late at night?
-----Yuuri unlocks the door and opens it. Murata is standing in front of him.
Murata: Call and I shall appear jajajajan! *reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Genie_Family
Yuuri: Wah, you surprised me. Murata! Eh? But I was just talking to you on the phone?
Murata: Yeah. I was talking on my cell phone while walking back from cram school. I just happened to be right near your house. Pardon me!
------Murata takes off shoes and walks down the hallway.
Yuuri: Why are you here?
Murata: Isn't that obvious?
------Murata throws open the door to the bathroom.
Yuuri: ......Hey. Don't just open the bathroom door in other people's houses!
Murata: Shibuya. You should make sure to close the cover on the bath when you get out of the tub.
Yuuri: Ah, I forgot.
Murata: Well, it's more convenient right now though. Okay, now Shibuya, shake!
Yuuri: Okay. ......Wait, don't tell me to shake! Wah! Stop pulling my arm! Lo-look out!
------The two of them splash into the tub.
Yuuri: Wah! We're falling into the tub fully clothed...... Wait could you be!? Murata-san!?
Murata: That's right! We're going to the other world through the tub!
Yuuri: Why? What are we going to do there? Hey! Wah! There's a whirlpool swirling! The bottom of the tub is gone- gwah (drowning)
Murata: You're still not used to this, Shibuya. You should at least get used to the water already!
Yuuri: You're just too pushy!
------Murata and Yuuri are swept away by the mysterious current.

5 Times Yuuri Shibuya Didn't Have Sex (And 1 Time He Did)- Chapter 1: Promblems
Rating: Mature
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Fandom: Kyou Kara Maou!
Relationship: Wolfram von Bielefeld/Shibuya Yuuri
Characters: Shibuya Yuuri, Wolfram von Bielefeld, Greta (Kyou Kara Maou!), Anissina von Karbelnikoff, Conrart Weller, Sangria (Kyou Kara Maou!)
Summary:  Yuuri never stood a chance against Wolfram's sexual appeal.
Read on ao3
Yuuri has problems. He has had problems ever since he arrived in Shin Makoku, but a specific area of problems has grown worse. One Wolfram von Bielefeld is a whole set of problems in and of himself. And one of those problems has grown particularly troubling. One problem is that Yuuri can hardly ever find alone time. That isn’t the main problem, but it makes the main problem worse. In two ways. He only has the main problem because of being around Wolfram in the first place. But the main problem is also worse because Wolfram is there and might realize the problem. The problem that in no way ever does Yuuri want him to realize. He thinks he’s done a fairly good job of hiding his main problem, until he definitely hasn’t.
It’s morning. Wolfram has latched onto him like an octopus, limbs reaching and holding him down. This has been happening more often lately. Yuuri isn’t–entirely–complaining about waking up like this. His problem is far too demanding for him to have the brain power to complain about a trivial matter like that anymore. What he’s complaining about is waking up like this, with his problem, and with Wolfram right there so very much in reach of noticing his problem. It isn’t like Yuuri can easily extract himself from Wolfram’s limbs either. He could extract himself–Wolfram would not wake up from something so minor–but his body would not let go without a fight. He would grab on and tug him closer and there is no way that would happen without him touching the problem .
Yuuri doubts even Wolfram could sleep through that. He probably has a reaction meter or something so that he knows when it’s time he can pounce. But again, Wolfram’s reaction isn’t the main problem. Even if he manages to sleep through touching him, Yuuri will definitely react. Hell–the whole point is that he is reacting–so yeah, he’d react. Vocally, no doubt. Which then would surely wake him up if he hadn’t already. Because even though it takes some loud volume to wake the sleeping beauty, an unusual moan from Yuuri surely will, no matter the volume. If he does have the reaction meter, that would send it so far off the radar, it would probably break.
Which leaves Yuuri exactly where he is. Stiff, in more ways than one, and panicking, which is only making it worse. And worse still, Wolfram seems quite content in his embracing. Not only is there a tiny little smile on his face, but he’s breathing out tiny little sighs pressing even closer. If Yuuri was panicking before, he’s having a full-on freak-out now. Wolfram’s bare, unfairly toned leg curls around him, the muscled thigh slipping dangerously close to his problem.
One nudge, only for the briefest of moments, is all it takes for Yuuri to break. Everything that has been building up inside him rushes out with one, long, undignified sound. Half high-pitched moan, half frustrated whine, Yuuri might compare it to the sound of a squealing pig if he had any brain capacity left to do so. All he has the mind to do is battle with himself not to roll into the embrace for that feeling again–for more of that feeling.
No, he screams inside his head. No, no, no.
Not that he could have rolled into the embrace anyway, because as soon as that sound escapes his lips, Wolfram’s eyes snap open. His sleepy eyes blink once before they squint at him in the early morning light. He pulls away and sits up, leaving at least half an arm’s length between them. He isn’t inaccessible, but closing their distance now would be a very obvious decision. One that Yuuri is definitely not ready for, especially knowing how Wolfram would take such a decision.
"What the hell was that?"
There is a slight scowl on the blonde's face. Which logically should have reduced his problem, but no, Yuuri is not that lucky. If anything, it's bringing out a whole other type of reaction. Which gives Yuuri yet another problem to try and sort out–later. He does not have time for anything else right now. He shifts himself to an upright position and finds himself letting out another sound that is far too embarrassing to even describe.
Wolfram hears it, of course. He hears it and he knows. "Are you..?" he asks, kindly leaving off the end of the question.
"No!" Yuuri cries, too quickly and too loudly. Yuuri knows he knows he's lying, but he really must be a wimp, because he still grabs his pillow to cover up the evidence.
"Uh, huh," Wolfram says, entirely unconvinced. "Why, then, did you sound like a beast in heat and feel the need to cover yourself?"
"No reason." It's the lamest response he could have made, and Wolfram's face shows he agrees.
"Stop being such a wimp. It's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"That's right!" He exclaims insistently. “It’s perfectly normal for a boy my age to wake up with…with this. What isn’t normal is having to try and hide it because there’s someone else here when I wake up to notice it.”
“That–” Wolfram tries to say something, but Yuuri continues.
“It has absolutely nothing to do with you. I just happened to dream something nice, alright? Something nice and normal and entirely unrelated to waking up with you here. So, so…” He trails off, panting. His thoughts have run out of steam leaving him with nothing but the remembrance of Wolfram’s sleeping smile and the current scowl.
Wolfram waits for him to finish, his scowl deepening with each word. When the last one is out, he huffs loudly and grabs the pillow out of Yuuri’s hands. Yuuri frantically tries to grab it back, but the blonde is stronger and easily flings it up and back down forcefully into Yuuri’s face.
“Ow,” he cries out with all the offense he can muster. He’s already dealing with enough this morning; he doesn’t need a red face on top of it.
Wolfram has absolutely no mercy, though. He smacks him with the pillow again, before throwing it across the room, followed by the rest of the pillows so that Yuuri has nothing but his pajamas and the sheets to cover his shame. Wolfram isn’t looking there, though; he’s looking–glaring–straight into Yuuri’s eyes with a fire that could probably burn him alive. His hands tighten into fists, which he thankfully plants onto his hips rather than striking out with. “You know what, Yuuri? You’re a jerk! That was entirely uncalled for!”
Yuuri is back peddling, trying to figure out what has upset the blonde so, but Wolfram doesn’t give him enough time to come up with a solution to this entire mess the morning has turned into.
“I was going to offer to help you out,” he gives him a look as if he’s the biggest idiot in the world, “only if you wanted, obviously. But now, you can just get out of my sight. Go take care of it yourself or whatever. Just get out.”
“But–”
“Get out!”
“What did I–”
“Get out!” With the pillows out of reach, Wolfram tugs on the bedsheets and dumps them over Yuuri’s head.
Brain feeling like it’s shortcircuited, Yuuri scrambles out of the room before he does get punched.
He finds himself heading to the Maoh’s baths. Not because he intends to take care of his problem. It’s just out of habit that he winds up there. But when he undresses and lowers himself into the water, his brain decides to be an even bigger asshole and shows him memories of Wolfram naked in this same water.
He didn’t intend to take care of the problem in the baths, but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t. He couldn’t fix the problem, though. That would be a lot harder to manage. And really, he is sure he isn’t capable of figuring out how to anyway. So instead of trying, he will take care of what he can now, try to somehow make up with Wolfram after breakfast, and then continue to hide his problems as best he can.

I truly enjoy how Yosak and Gwendal's friendship is entirely based on the anxiety they both have for Conrart.

*kicks my little feet back and forth in the air* I would LOVE to hear your thoughts and theories about the relationship between Wolfram and Shinou.
Hello anon! Hahaha... relationship?
Well, Shinou wants to use Wolfram for something bad, and Wolfram hates his guts cuz Shinou's a hoe.
Tumblr media
An overview of Shinou and Wolfram's relationship below the cut.
Most likely familial relationship: Shinou is Wolf's ancestor
Well... let's see... what we know (or think we know if we take drama cd 43 "Secret" written by Takabayashi-sensei as canon), is that Cheri is Shinou's descendant, so all the brothers are Shinou's descendants, and so 3 keys are related to Shinou. In Gaiden 4, Chapter 7.1, we read:
“Cäcilie, is it? My adorable Cherie, she’s just too perfect.” She gave birth to three Keys with close bloodlines, and raised them according to his wishes.
That's Shinou talking and a clarification by the author. Some say it's not 'canon' yet that Shinou is the three keys ancestor, but I think yea.
Also, Cheri is always saying how "Wolf looks like her", so she's the one that looks like Shinou, not Wolf's dad.
------------------------------------
Original ideas and plot change
It seems Shinou and Wolf looked alike because the author was going to make Wolf the reincarnation of Daikenja and Yuuri the reincarnation of Shinou. (Shinou +Daikenja analysis here).
Also, originally Daikenja and Shinou were likely a couple (MA HON, presented a picture of Takabayashi-sensei's notes where this is stated, right before the interview). When she changed the story later on (with the boxes plot), this idea changed as well.
In novel 1, Chapter 3 you can see that Gunter compares Yuuri to Daikenja, and Wolf obviously looks like Shinou, and then Gunter says
"Shinou is the darkness, and the Great Sage is the light. They yearn for each other, love each other, and are born bearing each other's colors in body. In short, darkness is light, and light is darkness!"
So originally, Yuuri was going to look like Daikenja and be Shinou, and Wolf was going to look like Shinou and be Daikenja, that's all.
It wasn't until novel 3-4 that Takabayashi sensei was given free range to continue on with the novels as a series. Up until then it was 1 novel after the other, never knowing if she'd continue publishing.
Wolf's devotion to Shinou: The first drama cds always show Wolfram incredibly devoted to Shinou. He was a great believer in Shinou and I remember that he was scolding Conrad for bringing Earth traditions of Christmas (drama cd 1) to Shin Makoku, because Shinou's their savior and so on.
This devotion seems to have fizzled out once he was not going to be Daikenja anymore.
------------------------------------
Prison arc
In the prison arc ( novels 16-17) Shinou and Wolf meet face to face.
Shinou is able to appear in the real world thanks to Wolfram's maryoku:
(Novel 16, cahpter6 ) “Lord von Bielefeld’s maryoku was sealed up in a hundred percent hair, and became a perfect exit that connected the space I was in to this world. From where I’m at, this is just like a little round window made of transparent ice. Then, the second I passed through that little round window, I used the maryoku gathered there to make this thing that looks like a body physical. In other words… it’s like how when a bubble rises from the bottom of a marsh, the mud will fill with air and swell up. However, observe!”
However everyone who meets Shinou and knows who he is tends to be disappointed: (Novel 17, chapter 2)
Of course, Wolfram and Gisela no longer fear this man known as the founder of Shin Makoku as much. The Shinou of their memories has changed over the span of the voyage. After all, he is the powerful existence worshiped as a god, so even though their rating of him hasn’t dropped to rock bottom, it has fallen to the ‘was once an impressive king’ level.
The Box
Despite the author saying this, we also know that Shinou appeared to prevent the throwing of the Fire Box overboard in the middle of the sea... and it seems like the box is in Shinou's Shrine now. He's also lying to everyone about it: Anissina, Hube,and Ulrike apparently. Unsure about Gisela and Gunter ; but Wolf seems to know the truth.
Last chapter
We don't see them at all until the last chapter of the last novel, when Shinou seems to be threatening Wolfram, telling him to 'better be quiet or else...". Shinou is threatening to hurt/kill Yuuri if Wolfram tells him (about the 'box' that wasn't disposed or... something worse!)
Last info
There's one more piece of information, and that's in cd 71 " I can't sleep tonight" Where Yuuri complains about Wolf leaving the bed every night. And he doesn't know where Wolf is going.
Murata and Josak are also investigating something and acting suspicious.
I think that Wolf is training with the Fire Box at Shinou's Shrine, at Shinou's request. That Murata and Josak are trying to find out what's going on, and that Yuuri, as per yoush, has been left completely in the dark.
------------------------------------
My assessment: So what 'kind' of relationship do I think Wolf and Shinou have?
Well, as stated previously: Shinou wants to use Wolfram for something bad, and Wolfram hates his guts cuz Shinou's a hoe.
