Disclaimer: I do not own Yuuri! On Ice.
The first thing Yuuri could feel was his head hurting. He tried opening his eyes but didn't have the strength to.
"Am I dead?" he thought to himself. "I must be, I collapsed on the ground before Victor came over and I died in his arms."
Then it hit him. He was never able to tell him. This broke him, Victor deserved to know how he really felt. He had died in the middle of the sentence. Now he never will, no matter how much Yuuri wanted him too.
"Victor," Yuuri said out loud, "Victor."
At that moment Yuuri bolted up. Because he couldn't see anything he figured his glasses weren't one. He tried to look where he was but it was too foggy to make out. He could only figure out that he was on a bed.
"Wait, am I alive?" Yuuri felt around before felling a pulse. "I'm alive!"
Looking around more Yuuri noticed something. He wasn't in his bed room in the manor. This room didn't seem familiar at all. It seemed brighter much warmer than the grey, despairing feel the other rooms gave. He also appeared to be in an infirmary which from past experience he wasn't even sure they had.
"No," he worried, "I couldn't be. I couldn't have dreamed that. It can't be dream."
Trying to stand Yuuri immediately felt a head rush. He immediately sat back down crying. Of course he would be glad to be back with his family. They're memory haunted him multiple times during the past few months and if he was unconscious he knew his family would be overwhelmed with joy to see him but it felt so real, everything Victor, the servants, the curse felt all real to him. He didn't want this new life gone. All of a sudden he heard a gasp.
"Oh my gosh Yuuri you're awake," Yuuri turned his head he knew the voice but not the figure. It appeared to be a man about a few years younger than him with tan skin and black hair. "You might need these."
Taking his glasses Yuuri saw the man. He had only one guess on who it was. "Phichit?"
"Yup it's me isn't it great?" The now human Phichit gave a huge grin.
"You're, you're a human!" Yuuri could only manage to say that. "Aren't you supposed to be a hamster?"
Phichit laughed. "I know weird right. I was honestly starting to forget what I looked like. It took my two days before I got used to walking on two legs again."
"But, but how?"
"Yuuri the curse is broken!" Phichit was jumping up and down and cheered.
"Seriously," Yuuri's smile grew, "that means it wasn't a dream!"
"What would give you that impression?" Phichit asked with a laugh.
"I don't know waking up in a strange room. Falling unconscious before I could finish a sentence."
"Is that Yuuri?" another boy shorter than Phichit asked who Yuuri also recognized by his voice.
"Yup it's me Minami," Yuuri answered.
"That's great. All of us have been freaking out for the past week." Minami brushed the red streak of hair out his face.
"Week?" Yuuri asked in surprise.
"Yeah it was a side effect from being away for so long. Luckily you were brought in just in time."
Yuuri couldn't believe what was going on. He had figured the other servants were once humans and were cursed into animals but how did they turn back. Yuuri was almost certain the spell he deflected didn't killed Georgi but that was a possibility. If that didn't happen Yuuri had no idea on how the curse could be lifted. But there was one thing. The last two times Victor was there or at least the first time put Phichit in charge of taking care of him. So why wasn't he here now? Surely after being gone for over a week Victor would have to be pried off of Yuuri.
"Where's Victor?" Yuuri asked causing the former hamster and deer to look at each other smiling.
"We'll take you to him," Phichit said.
"And with that we have a surprise!" Minami cheered.
"What does that have to do with Victor?" Yuuri asked as Minami took his hand and Phichit walked behind him.
"You'll see," Minami teased smilingly.
As the three walked Yuuri couldn't notice how much the manor had changed. It was brighter, the walls were no longer a dull grey, and the curtains were opened. A nice light shown through reminding Yuuri of home. The three walked up to the second floor and to one of the rooms.
"We're here," Minami said with a smile.
"Okay get ready for the surprise!" Phichit covered Yuuri eyes as Minami opened the door.
"I don't understand what's going on," Yuuri tried to tell the other two as they walked him in.
"Surprise!" Phichit uncovered Yurio's eyes. In the room were a few other humans each doing their own little thing. Yuuri could sort make out who everyone was like how a blond teenage boy with long blonde hair was Yurio. Then there was one who stood out from the rest. It was a man a little older than Yuuri. He had short silver hair that seemed to shine in the light. When he looked up at Yuui he saw that the man had beautiful icy blue eyes. Yuuri didn't have to guess he knew exactly who it was. It was the man in his dreams, someone Yuuri wanted to see more than anyone. "Victor."
Victor couldn't believe want had just happen, Yuuri was back but unmoving in his arms. Looking up he saw that Georgi was stuck to a tree, thanks to Yuuri's actions.
"That stupid boy," Georgi said with Victor ignoring him, "I was so close."
Georgi kept saying stuff as Victor focused all his attention on Yuuri. He wanted the the Japanese man back more than anything but not like this. He wanted him awake and being able to comfort him after all he's been through out there.
"Yuuri please," he begged despite knowing Yuuri couldn't hear him, "don't die on me. I don't know if I could live with out you."
Hoping for a chance Victor tried to walk back to the mansion but his beastly quadruped body prevented that. He then considered dragging Yuuri with his mouth but decided against that for fear of hurting him.
"It's hopeless," Victor cried collapsing on the ground, "I'm going to lose my love forever."
At that moment Victor's heart started glowing. Not noticing at first Victor still laid there hoping Yuuri was still breathing. As soon as he noticed golden light started shooting from it and surround him.
"No!" Georgi yelled but it was too late.
The light quickly surround Victor and when it fully had Victor could feel his body changing. He could feel the fur leave body, his paws become hands and feet, his adjusting allowing him to stand one two legs, and his face become normal. Surprisingly none of these changes hurt him. When all this was over and the light had left him, Victor couldn't resist looking at his new body. Everything was the same from the night he was transformed, minus his old clothes but the first transformation had ripped them up. He was human again.
Wasting no more time Victor scoped up Yuuri. Adjusting in hopes Yuuri will more comfortable in sleep Victor started walking back to the manor. He quickly got used to walking on two legs agains and was able to return to the manor in little time. Once inside Victor noticed the light had spread there and turned the manor from its cursed state to its former one. From other room he heard cheers but quickly went to the infirmary and placed Yuuri in a bed.
"Victor!" he turned to see a now human Chris standing in front of him. "The curse is broken we're human again."
Victor embraced his friend in joy but quickly returned to Yuuri. "He could have gone back but instead chose to save me."
At that moment a little bit of black smoke left Yuuri and disaapeared.
"He'll be fine it will just take a few days," Chris comforted his friend, "he'll be up before we know it."
The next week pasted slowly Victor quickly adjusted to life as a human again and glab to be back, but with Yuuri lying in the infirmary he didn't know want to do. Eventually he decided to talk with some of the other students.
"You know I'm glad to be human again and all," Yurio admitted, "but it stinks that in all that time I didn't age a day. I should be an adult by now."
"I don't mind," JJ boasted with Isabella is one arm, "it allows me more time with Isabella."
"I'm trying to get Victor's mind off of Yuuri," Yurio whispered to JJ after walking over to him.
"Oh that's easy, he Victor how about we play a card game."
"Alright," Victor agreed moving a bit as JJ got out a deck. The game on as normal when they heard footsteps approach the room. He ignored them knowing that there was a small chance that Yuuri was part of it. He soon Phichit's voice but still ignored it. Then the door opened and after a bit Victor looked up. He saw him Yuuri was standing there, Victor could tell that Yuuri was examining him. He knew he never told Yuuri about him originally being human, so it made sense that Yuuri couldn't recognize. He started to stand as Yuuri said his name
"Yes it's me," Victor said with a smile. At that moment Yuuri gave a wide smile and proceeded to hug Victor tightly. It took all Victor had hold back on giving his affection to Yuuri. "I'm so glad you're alright."
"I'm glad you're real," Yuuri whispered even though Victor heard.
"If it isn't too much," Victor ended the hug much to Yuuri's disappointment, "I know everyone would like to say hi to Yuuri now that we're all human, but I would like a moment alone with him if that's alright?"
"Of course," Phichit said moving out of the way, seemingly ignore how much Yuuri was blushing.
Taking Yuuri's hand gently, Victor led out of room. The two walked slowly as Victor feared Yuuri wasn't fully recovered. They soon reached Victors room and walked inside. Yuuri noticed that the furniture had been repair and it looked so nice. Turning his head he saw Victor sitting on his bed and Yuuri immediately joined him. As soon as he did Victor held Yuuri's face and started kissing it all over.
"Victor," Yuuri starting laughing a bit, "could you stop please?"
"I'm sorry," Victor apologized smiling at him, "I couldn't resist it anymore."
"It's alright," Yuuri touched his hand to Victor's, "it's just I have a lot of questions."
"I figured you would have some." Victor lover their hands. "Ask away."
"Okay, then why did you never tell me you were human?"
Victor sighed he saw this coming. He knew he had to be honest with Yuuri. "I was ashamed too."
Yuuri was taken back Victor was ashamed to admit he was human. He couldn't see why. "I don't understand, why would you be ashamed?"
"When we first me. I saw how you viewed me you were terrified. I got ashamed that I was truly a beast. I feared that you would only see me as a monster."
"I must admit I did at first. I don't think being locked in a basement helped. But soon I saw you as different, you were not the beast you thought you were."
"Really," Victor's mouth was heart shaped and was slightly blushing.
"Of course!"
"What else would you like to know?"
"Who was that friend?"
"Friend?" Victor's mind seemed to blank out.
"The one who used to own the skates you gave me. You never told me their name."
"Those were actually mine. Most of us here love skating. Yurio especially that boy is better than me. When I saw they were missing I got worried. They were the last part of me that were human."
"But why did you give them to me? If they mean that much to you should have taken them back when I offered them to you."
"At first I just wanted to see you skate. As you skated I saw a lot of my style in yours I then saw me in you and couldn't take them away for you."
Yuuri blushed some more. "I think I have one more question. Did you used to have really long hair when you were younger?"
"I did," Victor responded a bit confused, "then after an embarrassing party, I decided to cut it. Why did you ask that?"
"It's because," Yuuri's blush grew, "I used to dream about you almost every night. You're literately the man of my dreams. I saw your past."
"That's unexpected," Victor admitted, "I wonder if that means we were always destined to be together."
"I hope so. Oh there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I love you Victor."
Victor kissed his hand before saying. "I love you too."
The two looked longingly at each other before both kissing each other as a way to seal it.
AN: Yuuri's not dead! Everyone can rest now, I was not even thinking of killing it off. Some might think it has been completed but I'm not ready to say goodbye to it just yet. See you next chapter.
