Thank you so very much for the reviews, favorites and your interest in this story! Now as an award here is a new chapter for you guys!

Yuuri: *depressed state* ...I don't deserve to live...

Viktor: *hugging him* Don't say that Yuuri. I should be the one suffering, not you Yuuri!

Me: *shrugs* Well you both are suffering.

Yurio: I don't think I've ever seen those idiots so depressed. *reads this chapter's script* Huh, I have a duet with someone?

Me: Yep! This chapter will be great, now on with the disclaimers

Phichit: *turns to audience* Midnight hopes you enjoy this chapter and as a reminder, she does not own any of us except for her two OCs. Also that this chapter is based off the Hamilton song "Congratulations" starring Mari Katsuki and Yuri Plisetsky!

Viktor+Yuuri: *depressed sarcasm* ...Oh, joy...

Seeing Yuuri come back wet and muddy from the rain outside with tears streaming down his face was never a good sign for Mari Katsuki, after all, she was his older sister who knows him better than anyone else.

Sure she got his early text that informed her that he was ending the engagement, moving out of Viktor's apartment, and going back to Hasetsu until he could figure out what's next for him, but she prayed that Yuuri was able to leave without having to confront Viktor. Unfortunately, the moment he entered Lilia's house where she, Minako, Lilia, and Yurio were waiting for him after the other skaters were forced to leave and go back to their homes or hotels, she knew he ended up having to confront the bastard from the looks of his rapid tears and ringless hand. Yurio was the first to approach Yuuri, only to be utterly speechless when her brother embraced the teen tightly, silently sobbing as he trembled once again.

"What happened?" Yurio whispered as he gently patted Yuuri.

Yuuri only sobbed as he tightened his hold onto Yurio as he finished replied with a raspy voice that was draining from yelling earlier and sobbing in the rain, "I-I was packing and was about to leave b-but...But V-Viktor came back and w-when he tried to explain, I-I just snapped..." Yuuri proceeded to describe what has occurred between him and Viktor, from the words that were exchanged to what he had done with the posters, medals, and engagement ring.

However, Yuuri didn't tell them the detail that the ring survived the inferno and that he still had it in his pocket as he felt more tears fall as he whimpered, "I-I hurt him so bad...I-I don't know if I did the right thing...I just left him there alone, but even after everything he did, I-I still love him! H-How can I still love him, he'll never love me again after what I've done and I don't even know if I could ever forgive him! I feel as though that this whole mess is all my fault..."

"It's not your fault!" Yurio reassured as he separated himself from the embrace, his hands firmly gripping onto Yuuri's shoulders as his blue-green eyes were looking deep through the bloodshot brown pupils that were wavering from the tears that filled them up. "You're not the blame for anything, you didn't know that Viktor would do such a thing and trick us all! It's Viktor's fault and his fault alone for being stupid and wandering away from his promises, he was damn lucky that you had so much faith in him...He deserved everything you've done tonight, you had every right to react the way you did!"

He then pulled Yuuri back into an embrace as the young man continued to sob. Minako then stepped up as she tried to comfort her student as well, "We're all here for you, it doesn't matter if you don't forgive him...Viktor doesn't deserve your damn forgiveness after what he has done...We'll help you move on."

Mari listened to the exchange as she approached the three, joining them in the embrace while Yuuri clung to her once again. His words were repeating themselves in his mind, "I just left him there alone, but even after everything he did, I-I still love him!" That sentence kept repeating itself in her ears as she felt her chest twist and rip apart as she felt the warm tears soak her shirt. Even after all the crap Viktor has pulled, her baby brother still loves him that it's tearing him apart with guilt and pain she wished he never had to experience again! Oh Viktor Nikiforov, you have no idea just how broken you left my brother! Her grip onto her brother only tightened to keep him safe in her arms.

At long last, Yuuri went silent as his uneven breaths slowly got even as she looked down to see that he had finally cried himself to sleep. Mari and Yurio were silent as she carried him to one of the guest rooms Lilia led her to, placing him in bed and tucking him in as she wiped the last straying tear. They quietly stepped out of the room as she gently shut the door then headed to the living room where Lilia and Yurio were waiting for her.

"Yakov lost track of Viktor the moment the plane landed, he was forced to return to the rink with the others to avoid more trouble," Lilia explained after she received a text message. "Are you planning to leave with Yuuri Katsuki first thing tomorrow? The sooner the better before Viktor decides to go after him and make things worse."

Mari was silent, her anger was boiling at the mention of Viktor but Lilia was right. There will be no doubt that Viktor will go after Yuuri and pull off that cliche rushing to the airport to stop lover from leaving stunt until she finally made her decision as she turned to Minako. "Minako, you're going to have to go take Yuuri to the airport to catch the first flight to Japan by yourselves."

"What about you?" Minako asked, then her tone got darker at her next question, "And Viktor?"

That was when Mari placed her hand on Yurio's shoulders, stating her answer with eyes flaming with anger, "I'm going to catch the second flight...Yurio and I will make sure Viktor doesn't follow Yuuri, the bastard has done more than enough."

All Lilia could do was nod while Yurio's fists were tightening.

"Mari nee-chan isn't coming with us?" Yuuri asked that following morning as he stood outside of Lilia's house with his packed suitcase and Sensei right beside him. The other skaters, their coaches, and even Yakov were crowded in front of the house as they were ready to say their goodbyes, well except for Yurio. "And Yurio's gone too?"

"Don't worry about them," Yakov reassured as he shook Yuuri's hand. "Mari Katsuki had to go help Yuri handle some unfinished business but she'll catch the second flight. You'll reunite with your sister soon, don't worry about it."

"Okay then," Yuuri sighed as he faced the rest of the skaters as he made a small smile, "I guess this is goodbye until the next competition."

The goodbyes were so full of tears, smiles, and promises to visit one another as everyone hugged Yuuri to death. Georgi and Mila had to reluctantly promise him that they won't give Viktor a hard time since they were rink mates after all, hell, even Yakov had to promise him that he wouldn't treat Viktor any different since it would be unfair to be cruel to the skater just because of this situation. As for the other skaters, they too had to make that same promise even though they all claimed that it was going to be tough to do so.

And with that, Yuuri and Minako got inside the taxi that was waiting patiently for them after he said his final thank you and drove off down the road until everyone had lost track of where the vehicle was. Yuuri was looking out the window as he felt his eyes sting with tears but he kept them at bay, his hand was deep inside his pocket as it held on to the tainted ring.

Viktor was laying on the ground, his tears have dried up but his eyes were red and puffy while ignored Makkachin's constant whining as the poodle resting on top of him, begging him to get up. He messed up big time as he finally gathered the strength to get up to reach for his phone to see the time that it was early in the morning before he searched the flights to Japan only to see that there weren't any flights last night but there was the first flight right now in that is ready to depart in an hour! "

"I have to catch up to him!" Viktor shouted to himself as he put his shoes on, ignoring the confused looks Makkachin gave him who just barked in approval. "I don't care if I get pushed, yelled at, or even threatened, I can't let Yuuri leave with things left like this!" He forgot to grab his coat but he didn't care, all he wanted to do was get to Yuuri and find some way to convince him that he still loved him, to convince him to stay! He just knew Yuuri couldn't have meant the things he said last night, he just couldn't.

However, the moment he swung the door open, he was greeted by an unpleasant kick in the guts that sent him flying back in the apartment and falling down to the ground as he heard several footsteps enter while the door was shut. When he looked up, his eyes widened in shock at who was standing before him:

"Yurio? Mari!?"

Mari only smiled as she helped Viktor back up as she first greeted with an unnatural friendly tone, "Good morning Viktor...And where are you off to in such a hurry you naughty boy?"

Viktor gulped as he answered, "I-I'm going to find Yuuri and bring him back."

Before Viktor could continue, that friendliness instantly melted into a dark, demonic tone as her grip on his shoulders got strong enough to possibly break his bones, "I know what you did and you are not going after him, you bastard." She then shoved Viktor away as she glared down at him with her anger boiling to the brink of explosion.

"Congratulations you asshole," Yurio spoke up as he stepped forward, his cold eyes were glaring knives at Viktor as he took over, "You've invented a new kind of stupid, a damage you can never undo kind of stupid," He made a dry chuckle as he continued, "An open all the cages in the zoo kind of stupid, a feeding Makkachin steam buns kind of stupid..." He then shouted at his face, actually causing Viktor to flinch! "Clearly, you didn't think through your actions that damn night, kinda stupid! Honestly, what the hell was going on in your stupid little mind of yours?!"

"Hell, you took in a random woman who pretended to be distress, who led you to her hotel room and you just allowed yourself to fall into her arms!" Mari growled as she poked her fingers on his chest, with every poke, the force got stronger to shove Viktor around. "You allowed yourself to be manipulated by that woman and her husband and instead of telling anyone anything in private the moment rumors began to spread, you refuted it all by telling the whole world about your damn affair! Did you know that Yuuri was the last of us to find out, and how did he find out?"

She pulled out her phone and revealed one of the latest articles posted that was all about how Yuuri Katsuki was oblivious to everything! "By being swarmed by stupid reporters who don't give a damn about the situation at hand! They didn't care that Yuuri was going to have a panic attack right there in front of them!"

"Yakov warned you that day..." Yurio whispered as his fists tightened up. "He filled me in yesterday of when it all started, and he fucking warned you not to let that woman get close to you and what did you do? You ignored that warning and ended up having an affair! So why the hell didn't you stop, end it that first night? Who knows, but hey good news, now you've redefined your story and you drove your fiance away, congratulations!"

"I only agreed to their terms as an act of sacrifice to spare Yuuri's feelings and to keep his career safe from that man!" Viktor shouted in defense which only brought Yurio and Mari into a dangerous moment of silence.

Yurio finally broke the silence as he grimly whispered, "Sacrifice? Are you going seriously going to tell me that what you did was an act of sacrifice? Sure, you gave up a season of your career to coach Yuuri Katsuki instead of me, you left everything behind in Russia to go all the way to Japan, you were willing to go back on the ice and be his coach at the same time..." He then pushed him away as he shouted, "BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT REAL SACRIFICE!"

"I could have easily allowed Yuuri to win that first Grand Prix Final, let him retire after he wins the gold so he wouldn't bother me and get in my way of winning future competitions ever again but I didn't," Yurio continued as he looked down, "I made sure he won silver and made him stay with you! I could have easily found ways to separate the both of you for being too stupid and gross and make you coach me inside of Yuuri but I realized that it wouldn't be right! I gave my body and soul to Lilia's training so I could win, I had to move away from Moscow, away from my grandpa to win...I could have refused that competition in Hasetsu and dragged your sorry ass back to Russia but I accepted it instead."

"When we were kids, I had to skip class every day to make sure Yuuri didn't get bullied by other kids older than him and it only got me to barely pass college and get a suitable job," Mari began, those memories flowing into her mind. "I could have moved away from Hasetsu, use my degree to get a better paying job maybe get famous but I stayed and worked in my family's hot springs for my brother's sake, he needed the support when he starting his skating career... I had to let him go for five years, and then a year later I had to allow him to get coached by you..."

Her fists were visibly showing as she continued, "I refrained myself from interrogating you since our parents were okay with you since Yuuri always told me that you were not the kind to harm him. I had to refrain myself from killing your ass for making him cry at the Cup of China because I knew Yuuri would blame himself if anything happened to you! Then I had to accept that he had to go live with you as your fiance, separating us for good!"

"Hell, most of my decisions and actions I've done recently were to make sure Yuuri didn't lose sight that you loved him, to make sure that your love for one another didn't break," Yurio commented, "And you know, right now, I could have easily just let you go on your merry way to find Yuuri and try to get him to forgive but now that I think about it...You don't deserve him or his forgiveness!"

Mari was circling around him, her glare was still as cold as ever while he tried his best to avoid them, "You don't know my brother the way I do! I know my brother like I know my own mind and quite frankly, you'll never, for the rest of your life, find anyone as trusting or as kind as he was! He always thought about you and your career while you coached him, never allowing himself to look like failure out of fear that he'll make you look bad...Hell, he even admitted to me that even after all that bull you pulled off, he still loves you! You'll never be able to find someone as loyal as he was!"

She walked away from him as she continued, "And a million years ago, I can still remember that moment he told me that he had fallen for you, that he was moving away to live his engaged life with you. And I just stood by as I allowed him to get engaged to you and get taken away but do you know why?!" At this point, she had tears falling from her angry eyes as she turned back to face him, "I love my brother more than anything in this life! I WILL CHOOSE HIS HAPPINESS OVER MINE EVERY DAMN TIME! AND SEEING MY BROTHER IN THE MESS HE WAS YESTERDAY TORE MY HEART TO BITS, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CAUSED HIS PAIN THAT I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE SURE HE NEVER EXPERIENCE! AND YET HE'S EXPERIENCING THAT PAIN, HE'S BROKEN SO BADLY THANKS TO YOU!"

Yurio kicked Viktor's knees as the older man winced from the pain. "Do you have any idea what Yuuri said last night when he came back from this place, and what he said this morning?"

He didn't give Viktor time to answer when he proceeded to describe both events, "He still loves you, but he blames himself for everything that has happened, he blames himself for making you wait so long...And this morning, Yakov texted me, telling me that Yuuri had him, Georgi, Mila, and all the other skaters promise to not treat you any different, to treat you as the same old friend we used to know, and not to give you a hard time because of our personal feelings..." He ignored Viktor's shocked, widened eyes that were feeling up with tears. "Yuuri was truly the best thing in all our lives, and still is! You deserved to watch all of those precious things burn last night, you so rightly deserved that..."

Viktor soon had tears rapidly falling from his eyes once again, just processing what Yurio and Mari have repeated. Yuuri still loves me?! He still loves me and yet he's still suffering all because of me!

"I hope to god that you never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best fiance!" Yurio continued as he grabbed Viktor's shirt and pulled him closer now. "Congratulations, you've lost your rights to ever deserve him!"

At last, Mari grabbed Viktor from Yurio as her tears were still falling as she growled at him, "My brother is going through hell because of you, and take my advice Viktor and STAY AWAY from Yuuri...I do not want to find you going after him in the airport, or chasing him down to Japan, you are forbidden to meet with my brother ever again. I don't care what happens to you, or whoever you try to fall for next, but I don't want to see you anywhere near my baby brother, or our home so long as I am alive! And if you end up disobeying me, I promise you that you will experience the fury the Katsuki family has for you after what you have done and we will make sure you don't ever hurt Yuuri ever again! I hope your few days of making love to the woman was worth it all Viktor Nikiforov!"

With that, she released her hold on him, pushing him to the ground as she slapped him so hard that it showed a red mark as she shouted, "CONGRATULATIONS!" Then she got up, left through the door as she slammed it shut, leaving Yurio with Viktor.

Before Viktor could even speak to Yurio, the teen took the liberty to slap him on the other side of his cheek as he grimly whispered, "Congratulations Viktor, this damage you have created will never be undone...You've lost everything you love after that first night when you didn't say 'No' to her." Yurio then walked away from him, opening the door and slamming it shut as the room shook from the strong force.

Viktor found himself on the floor once again, drowning in his own tears while Makkachin came back from hiding underneath the couch and laid his head on top of his owner's legs as he whined. As for Viktor, he suddenly lost all of his energy, and motivation to go outside while his mind was repeating the words Yurio and Mari have told him, having no idea that at this moment, Yuuri had already boarded his plane and was flying back home.

Both lovers with broken hearts that seemed unfixable.

Me: And done ^.^

Viktor + Yuuri: *in tears* STOOOOOP PLEASE!

Me: Nope.

Yurio: *turns to audience* Midnight hopes you enjoyed this chapter, please review to see what happens now that Yuuri is gone and Viktor in regret mode.
