Disclaimer: I do not own Yuuri! On Ice.
"How does it look?" Yuuri asked Yurio holding his present to Victor in front of him.
"It looks good," Yurio said after a while.
"Thank you," Yuuri gave a slight bow to the tabby, "I hope Victor likes it when I give it to him tomorrow."
"Trust me I am almost completely sure he will."
"I'm still nervous though." Yuuri still couldn't figure out why he was.
"You'll get over it," Yurio looked at the clock, "well I should be heading back now."
"Okay, see you tomorrow Yurio."
"See you tomorrow Yuuri," Yurio paused before leaving, "oh just so you know. We don't really do anything big for Victor's birthday. He hasn't liked celebrating his birthday in a while. But he'll really like the gift."
Yuuri smiled as Yurio left the room. Placing his present for Victor on his nightstand, he changed into his pajamas, and went into his bed. A few minutes later Yuuri realized he was having trouble falling asleep. He couldn't go more than two minutes without waking up.
"Why is this happening?" Yuuri asked himself. "Out of all nights."
He tossed and turned for a few more minutes before giving up. Turing to the book he made for Victor. Then he started to think of Japan. Despite what seemed like a short walk, the mansion seemed to be far away even in a different country. Surprisingly thinking of home made him feel peaceful. Peaceful enough to fall asleep.
The next morning Yuuri woke up smiling. After getting out of bed he quickly got dressed. As he reached for his present for Victor a twinge of fear went up his spine. After some time he grabbed the present and left.
Walking around the manor Yuuri was surprised to find that Victor was nowhere to be seen. Nothing seemed to work, even calling his name out. Yuuri was about to surrender when he felt something brush by his leg.
"Isabella," Yuuri called as the bunny stopped in her place, "have you seen Victor?"
"Sorry no," Isabella answred a little upset, "normally on his birthday Victor hardly leaves his room."
"You have got to be kidding me?" Yuuri said.
"What's wrong?" Isabella asked hopping closer.
"Victor told me I'm not allowed there."
"I'm sure he'll understand if you explain it to him." Isabella tried to console Yuuri before hopping away.
Yuuri couldn't believe he was doing this. He was currently stand outside the western half of the manor. Taking a deep breath he walked in.
"Victor," Yuuri called as he walked in, "I'm very sorry but I had to do this I want to." Yuuri stopped a turned around. The door behind him was opened and Victor was standing there.
"Is something wrong Yuuri?" Victor asked very somberly.
"Uh," Yuuri took another breath and stretched out his arms, "happy birthday."
Victor slightly raised his head and looked at the gift in Yuuri's hands. Taking it he slowly looked it over. Yuuri felt like exploding as Victor looked over the book.
"I hope you like it," Yuuri said after a while, "I put my blood, sweat, and tears into it."
Victor paused from reading to look up at Yuuri.
"Did I really just say that," Yuuri said quietly to himself before getting louder, "I just want to crawl under a rock a die!"
"Don't do that," Victor requested.
"You heard that too," Yuuri said extremely embarrassed.
"Would you like to come inside," Victor gestured in the room he was in.
Yuuri wanted to say no, he had embarrassed himself in front of Victor enough. But then he two locked eyes. Yuuri's chocolate brown eyes met Victor's icy blue ones. In them Yuuri could see pain, lots of pain. Yuuri couldn't abandon him, not right now.
"Sure," Yuuri answered before following him inside.
Walking inside Yuuri didn't know what to think. For started the room was the darkest room in the entire manor. The walls seemed to be extremely faded and the curtains appeared to be glued to place, closed and also faded. Though it seemed to be a bedroom a bed was apparently absent. Yuuri would have explored more if Victor hadn't called him over.
"Would you like lie here?" Victor gestured to the spot next to him.
"Okay," Yuuri said not wanting to say no.
The two remained quiet for some time. More than once Yuuri tried to start conversation but stopped himself.
"So I really did enjoy that book you made," Victor said after a while breaking the awkwardness.
"That's good," Yuuri said still embarrassed.
"Hatsu Castle looks really cool to visit, were there really ninjas there?"
"Yes but that was a while ago."
"It's still cool," Victor whispered to himself even though Yuuri could still make out what he said.
"Have you ever left this place before?" Yuuri asked feeling more comfortable.
"Not in a long time," Victor answered looking out the window even with the curtains closed.
Yuuri continued to look around the room he saw spots on the wall that looked lessed faded than the rest. They were all rectangular shape. Yuuri knew by these facts that there had to be pictures hanging there at one point. He theorized that at some point they were destroyed.
"Are you alright Yuuri?" Victor asked interrupting Yuuri's examination.
"I am," Yuuri answered almost immediately, "I was just admiring your nice room."
"But half of everything here is destroyed?"
"It adds," Yuuri paused for a moment, "a nice charm to it."
Victor gave a small laugh. "Well you should have seen it before it was destroyed. Much more charming."
"I bet it was."
"Do you mind if I tell you something?" Victor asked seemingly very upset.
"If you want to," Yuuri said with caution.
"One this day the place was cursed," Victor gave Yuuri a somber look, "it was by a former friend of mine."
"They cursed this place on your birthday."
"The same curse that binds you here." That statement sent a chill down Yuuri's spine. "He also cursed to the servents." Yuuri was afraid to ask what curse he placed on them
"They're innocent. I understood he hated me but not them. All of them, even JJ deserve better than this. As he cursed this place I was on my knees. I refused to stop begging for him to leave them alone but he didn't. Now there's nothing I can do for them. Because of this I can't bear to face today it's too painful. I know I rambled but I had to get it out."
"It's alright," Yuuri comforted him, "sometimes you just have too."
Yuuri wrapped his arms around Victor who placed his paw on his hand. "I still don't understand why he would to this. To all of us."
"He doesn't deserve friends." Victor nodded in agreement.
At that moment Yuuri's head started hurting. He placed his hand that wasn't being held by Victor on his forehead. Victor laid his head on Yuuri's shoulder as Yuuri started to rub his forehead. It felt pretty similar to the time Yuuri was out on the lake he skated on before collapsing.
"Yuuri," Victor to look at Yuuri who was starting to go under.
"I'm fine Victor," he said weakly.
"Yuuri!" was the last thing her heard before sleep wrapped around him.
When Yuuri awoke he seemed to be in the entrance of the manor. The second thing he noticed hi headache was gone. He stood up and walk around.
"How did I get here?" he asked himself when the door up.
"I expected you to come here," Victor's voice echoed even though Yuuri could see him.
"You did." Yuuri turned to the figure in the door but could only make out his silhouette.
"And now ask you politely to leave. I don't want you harming anyone here."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." Yuuri paused what could Victor had done.
"I had no choice Georgi."
"You did but you choice to and betrayed me."
"You put my friends in danger. I couldn't hurt them." Victor seemed on the verge of tears at this point.
"Victor." Yuuri couldn't help but whisper and reach out to his friend.
Georgi simply laughed and started speaking in a strange langue that Yuuri couldn't figure out what it was. Victor gasped as a strange light surrounded Georgi.
"Georgi please," Yuuri could tell Victor was starting cry, "don't do this. If you must just me. No one else. They didn't do anything to harm you in anyway. Please you can kill me for all I care but not them. They're the only family I have left."
"Well since you love them so much you can spead the rest of your lives together, because," Georgi raised what appeared to be a staff, "anyone else you steps here will be forced to remain for face death."
"No," Victor gasped as light surround the mansion as Georgi laughed.
When the light faded Georgi's silhouette was gone. After a few minutes Yuuri could only hear Victor roar in both pain and sadness. And there was nothing Yuuri could do to help him.
AN: Finally after almost three weeks this is done. I hate keeping you waiting for the next chapter. I hope you didn't mind but it's done. Also I'm sorry to all Georgi fans for my potrail of him in this story but no other character fit this role. As for for what Victor did that's next chapter. See you then!
