THANKS FOR THESE AWESOME REVIEWS, I SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE THEM! ;D
Just Another Writer: *reads this chapter ahead* Wait a minute...*squints at me* Midnight, there's no pole dancing scene like you promised! How could you?
Me: Calm down, the original chapter was too long so I cut it in half so basically I'm posting a double chapter. *Looks around* And I see Yuuri and Victor aren't here, hell even Yurio is gone now!
Otabek: Yura went to go see where they went off to, shouldn't be back until the next chapter.
Me: Well then, can you do the honors.
Otabek: *turns to audience* Midnight hopes you enjoy this filler chapter and to remember that she owns none of us or the anime.
Yuuri thought the room he was going to be in was going to tiny, but it was the exact opposite! It was enormous, maybe ten times as bigger than Victor's room back in Russia! Hell, this room even had an indoor pool of pink bubbles to bathe in if he could! There were four beds, three with blue sheets and one with red sheets that were each embedded in silver threads. The walls were of white granite that sparkled in the light that was coming out of the large glass windows from the sunset that was slowly disappearing into the night! There were giant purple and red pillows large enough for Makkachin to sleep on top of and there was still plenty of room to have a party! In fact, he wasn't even sure if this room could pass as a bedroom, it looked more like a ballroom!
He was utterly speechless at the size, but what really stood out from this magnificent room was that there wasn't any closet door to be seen at all! Oh great, He thought to himself in distress as Sara grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the biggest pile of pillows for them to sit on. How am I supposed to hide from these people without any place to go lock myself into?
"This room is beautiful isn't it Yuuri?" Emil commented with a smile on his face as he sat down on the giant pillow to the left of Yuuri. "We've been told that you don't talk at lot but you can always write down what you want to say. But whenever you feel like it, you can always talk to us."
"It's quite understandable after whatever kind of hell you must have been through," Michele muttered under his breath as Sara led him to sit down to the left of Yuuri. "Well then, here we are, you got anything to say about us so far?" He leaned forward, expecting an instant answer but Yuuri remained quiet and tense as he grabbed a nearby pillow to cover his face to avoid looking panicked. Unfortunately, he to keep himself calm since he could feel the frost coming out of his fingers that were engulfing the same pillow bit by bit.
"So what should we do then?" He whispered to Sara, clearly looking at the frost with concern. "He's not the opening up of others type and any minute longer like this and he'll probably bring in the worst blizzard in the European kingdom's history."
"You're right," Sara whispered back as she stayed silent for a moment to think until an idea finally popped in her mind as she clapped her hands together with excitement. "I GOT IT!" She failed to notice the confused looks Emil and Michele gave her as she quickly removed the pillow from Yuuri's hand and got a bit too close to his face that caused her twin to only glare at him. She clasped her hands over Yuuri's as she explained her idea to him. "Let's play a few games tonight okay! We can start with a pillow fight!"
Pillow fight? What kind of fight is this is they're using pillows? Yuuri only gave her a confused look as she got up and grabbed one of the smaller pillows. "It is really fun Yuuri, it's not a fight to the death or anything. It's all for fun, watch." On cue, she threw her pillow right at Emil's face as Michele snorted then laughed at loud seeing the unworthy suitor get hit first. However, his laughter was short lived when he was hit by the same pillow by Emil who had his turn to laugh.
"You should see the look on your face right now," Emil chuckled as he tried his best to sit up but was failing. "Hey, Sara! Heads up!" He then grabbed another pillow and threw at Sara's shoulder, which immediately triggered Michele into bodyguard mode!
"HOW DARE YOU HURT MY SISTER LIKE THAT!?" He then grabbed the giant pillow he was sitting on as he aimed it at Emil. "Don't worry Sara, I will avenge you and make him pay for his evil-doing!" With that, he threw it right at Emil but missed when the happy man dodged it as he grabbed more pillows as more ammo to fight with.
"You missed Mickey! Hahaha!"
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME! SARA SHALL BE AVENGED!"
Yuuri watched in awe as he watched the two knights going at it, grabbing any pillow they could get their hands on and throwing them at one another. Then he watched Sara grab her own pillow to join in the fight. "I can avenge myself, Mickey! You two can't have all the fun!" Before she engaged into battle, she turned to Yuuri as she handed him an extra pillow. "Join us when you're ready Yuuri, it's a lot of fun!"
Fun? Is this what they call fun? He stared at the pillow he was holding, then up at the two knights and the lady in waiting smiling and laughing as they continued to throw pillows around. It even got to the point where Michele used one of the giant pillows to have a duel with Emil as they both tried to hit one another with them to see who would fall first. They do look happy...Maybe I can try to have fun...His thoughts were interrupted when Michele accidently sent a pillow flying towards his face as he back in the ground with the pillow on his forehead.
Michele, Sara, and Emil stopped what they were doing as they waited for Yuuri's reaction while hoping that the poor boy doesn't go into a panic. However, to their surprise, when Yuuri sat back up, he had a small smirk on his face and then without even realizing, he threw the pillow back as it hit Michele's face! At first, he didn't know what kind of response he'll get until he heard Sara and Emil beginning to laugh and slightly tease Michele for being too slow to react.
"That's the spirit Yuuri!" Emil cheered as Michele chuckled. "Let's see who wins this battle!"
From an unsure frown, it slowly turned upside down as Yuuri engaged into the pillow fight, mostly aiming at Michele and Emil out of fear of not getting on the male twin's bad side if he hit her sister. As fun as it was, Yuuri didn't laugh out loud like they did but seeing him smile was all the reassurance they needed to know that he was warming up. This lasted for the next ten minutes until Yuuri threw a giant pillow at Emil, who was quick to duck and it instead hit Sara right in her face!
Emil gasped while Yuuri got tense when he realized that he hit Sara as the fear grew in him of the thoughts of how angry Michele's might get now! He slowly, out of instinct, backed away not even realizing that he was trembling as he no longer saw the bright room he was instead his thoughts trailed back to another glimpse of a memory of his past.
Ten-year-old Yuuri was inside a room that was covered completely in ice as he was running out of the air to breath when he fell on his aching knees while heavy sweat was dropping from his throbbing forehead. In front of him was ice targets that he was assigned to use his powers to destroy but the countless beating he would get nearly every night was making it more difficult for him to perform his task. He wasn't allowed to leave the room until all the targets got hit with perfect accuracy but it wasn't only the freedom to leave the room that was at stake. He recalled that his success in completing this task will ensure that his friends and the other children were safe.
There were only a hundred more to go, he had no idea if it was day or night due to the lack of windows but he felt as though he was about to drop dead at the spot. He forced himself to get up as he prepared to try to annihilate another target but his head was spinning and making him dizzy enough to shoot a totally different direction. To make matters worse, he shot his powers at the door that opened to reveal a dark figure who at the same moment was hit by that blast of ice!
Yuuri gasped when the dizzy spell passed, his eyes widened in fear as he tried to explain himself as his captor approached him with an infuriated scowl. He slapped Yuuri to the ground as he began to kick him while shouting, "YOU'RE SO USELESS! YOU THINK YOU CAN SHOOT ICE AT ME AND GET AWAY WITH IT YOU IDIOT! JUST FOR THAT, YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER HUNDRED TARGETS TO PRACTICE YOUR MAGIC ON IF YOU WANT NO HARM TO COME ACROSS YOUR FRIENDS! YOU HEAR ME! I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR DISCIPLINED AND KNOW YOU PLACE!" He then lifted Yuuri by grabbing the ends of his hair, making him hiss from the pain. "REMEMBER THAT IF YOU MAKE ANY MORE MISTAKES THAT THEIR LIVES LAYS ON YOU! IF ANYONE DIES THEN IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU GOT THAT!" The figure then threw Yuuri to the ground as he continued to kick him even more.
He couldn't see his face but the pain was unbearable as he curled up in agony as tears were stinging his eyes. It was no use begging for this to end. It was no use at all...
"Yuuri what's wrong?" Michele's voice trailed in, bringing Yuuri back into reality. "You're crying."
His eyes widened then blinked twice until his hand touched the side of one of his eyes only to realize that he was indeed crying. His trembling stopped at least but he was confused as to why he was crying like this. He quickly wiped those tears off as he looked confused with his sudden action. Sure the memory was scary and painful but it wasn't supposed to be enough to make him cry.
Right?
"I wasn't going to get angry," Michele finally admitted with a sigh. "Sure you hit Sara but we were having fun, you were having fun. If anything I'd probably joke around with you about avenging her but I'd never get really angry with you..." He then pointed at Emil. "Except for that unworthy suitor, now he really needs to lay off my sister."
"Hey!" Emil pretended to sound offended as he dramatically looked away from Michele. "That is too harsh Mickey, I thought we were getting along so well. We even had some coffee together without you ex-"
He was instantly silenced when Michele threw another pillow at his face. "Like I said, Emil has the position as most revolting," He explained to Yuuri until his face was hit by the same pillow from Emil.
"And you're the most vulnerable! You can't be sane without Sara for at least five seconds."
"That's a lie and you know it!"
Yuuri snorted as he tried to restrain himself from laughing but it was so hard not to when he was watching Emil and Michele quickly engage into their own pillow fight over the smallest things! "Aw, Yuuri you're laughing," Sara cooed in joy, then she waved her hand up as vines came out of them to grab Emil and Michele to sit them back down where she and Yuuri stood. "Now, we got pillow fights done, let's get some sleep, I'm tired. But tomorrow let's play truth or dare!"
Michele's and Emil's faces paled the moment the game was mentioned as they both shouted, "NO!"
Yuuri gave them a confused look as to why they were reacting this way and how the game was played. He pulled out a piece of paper and quill as he quickly wrote down his question. 'What's Truth or Dare? Victor didn't really have time to explain all the games to me.'
Sara read the question until she answered with a smile. "Truth or Dare is a game that involves groups like us. So we use this bottle to spin and whoever the bottle lands on, they have to choose between answering a question in complete honesty or be forced to do whatever the others tell you to do. And here's a fun rule I added, if you don't want to answer the truth question, then you have to take on a dare, and vice versa. Don't worry it's really fun."
"Just don't choose dare," Michele warned as Emil nodded in consent until Sara playfully punched his shoulder. "What? I'm trying to warn him so he wouldn't get scared from your crazy dares."
...THE NEXT DAY...
"Let's begin!" She cheered as she pulled out an empty bottle that afternoon from the sleeve of his dress and spun it. They all had a decent good nights sleep, Yuuri on the other hand, had some trouble falling asleep since he didn't have Victor with him to reassure him that everything was okay. So he only managed to get at least five hours of sleep before waking up to have breakfast, do so busy work that King Chris gave them until they finally had their free time.
So now they decided that it was time to begin their new game much to Michele's and Emil's dismay. After a brief five seconds, the point of the bottle landed on Yuuri. He blinked once as he looked at the three in confusion until Sara asked the question, "So Yuuri, truth or dare?"
Michele and Emil both looked very scared when it comes to this game, Yuuri thought to himself as he tried to think through options carefully. And they warned me to never take dare so I guess I'm going with truth. With that, he wrote down his choice and showed Sara. 'Truth'.
"Perfect," Sara clapped her hands together as she made a small smirk. "Remember Yuuri, you have to answer honestly or else you'll be forced to take a dare." She stopped to think for a moment until the perfect question came to her devious mind. "Okay Yuuri, tell us your true feelings about king Victor, and I mean romantic feelings." Yuuri instantly paled at the question, there was no way he could explain his emotions about Victor when he has no idea how to feel himself!
"Now that I think about it...We've seen the way you cling on to him and how you both wouldn't stop staring at each other," Emil pointed out with a curious glance. "Do you like Victor? As in like like?"
"You ice wielders get clues as to who is their soul mate," Michele mentioned with the same curious look. "Tell us if Victor matches any of those clues you might have gotten. I bet he does, you both seem to have not wanted to be separated."
At this point, Yuuri was turning red at the random questions about romantic feelings about Victor as he tried his best not to show his flushed face. Oh god! I can't answer any of these questions! It's too embarrassing and I'm not going to reveal any details of my dreams I got about my soul mate especially when the last one I had was with me drunk and pole dancing! He could feel sweat drop down as he tried not to recall that embarrassing dream, he knew that there was no way he could share that even if it's the game rules! My only ways of escape from answering any of this is taking on a dare!
"So Yuuri," Sara chimed in with curiosity. "Are you going to answer honestly or are you going to take a pass and do a dare?"
With a heavy sigh, Yuuri wrote down his answer: 'There's no way I can answer those questions...Just give me the dare...'
He could have sworn he saw Sara grimly smile at his response as if she was expecting this to happen! Sara pretended to make a sigh of disappointment as she shrugged, "Too bad, I really wanted to know the juicy details but if you insist..." She got up from her spot, walked to her bed and pulled out a giant body of some sort of liquid and sixteen glass cups! With the help of her magic vines, she brought them all back in front of Yuuri.
"Alright Yuuri, your dare isn't going be so bad depending on how you can handle the heavy stuff," Sara explained as she removed the cork from the bottle and began to pour the liquid into the sixteen cups. When she was done, she looked at Yuuri as she gestured to all the cups with a smile, "I dare you to drink all sixteen cups of champagne without leaving a single drop!" Yuuri looked at her confused, he was actually expecting something way worse, but it was just drinking, nothing bad right?
Sara: This is gonna be good I know it!
Just Another Writer: Can we have a selfie!? *pulls me and Sara for a selfie*
Me: Oh boy not this again, ummm...Anyone around to close this note?
Michele: *walks in and turns to audience* Midnight hopes you enjoyed this chapter and to comment and review for the pole dancing. *pulls Sara close to him* AND JUST KNOW THAT ANY OF YOU MALE READERS TRY TO TAKE MY SISTER AWAY THEN THINK AGAIN! YOU ARE OUT OF HER LEAGUE!
Me: These notes are getting boring without the Victuuri family.
Just Another Writer: Agreed.
