THANKS FOR THESE AWESOME REVIEWS, I SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE THEM! ;D

Yuuri:*dead* Viktor can't be dead...No, it's just my imagination...The story just made a mistake...A mistake...

Viktor: YUURI!? *turns to me* Midnight please end this!

Me: No way, this is the chapter when everything is just amazing and going down to the ultimate climax, full of sacrifice, pain, sorrow, and truth!

Viktor: *sobs* THERE'S NOTHING AMAZING ABOUT OUR SUFFERING!

Just Another Wrter: Midnight, seriously stop the torture, you're killing us here

Me: I can't, it's my only reason for existing. Writing this suffering makes me feel alive!

Just Another Wrter: That's a lame and scary reason

Me: HEY!

Otabek: *walks in* Midnight hopes you enjoy this chapter and to make sure to remember that she owns no one or the anime except for her OC that the whole world wants to kill. *reads slip I gave him* Also be prepared because this is a very long chapter

NO! At this point, Yuuri didn't realize that in his panic, his magic unleashed once again, using snow to shove Isabella and Guang-Hong away from him as he felt pain consuming his legs but that didn't stop him from getting up and running forward. All that was rushing through his mind was I have to save Viktor! I HAVE TO SAVE VIKTOR NOW! as he ran through the battle, ignoring the confused looks the others gave before they had turned their attention back to their opponents. Yuuri was getting closer to Viktor, his hand was outstretched to grab Viktor's arm to just pull him away from the danger but he still wasn't close enough!

"VIKTOR WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, hoping against hope that somehow he warned Viktor in time.

But he was too late.

Time once again suddenly gotten slower as Viktor turned around in horror to see Adrik was behind him as Yuuri's hands were just inches away from grabbing Viktor's hand. Viktor didn't have time to even progress or even use his ice magic to defend himself from what was to come until he saw the silver chalice glowing with the lid opened by Adrik himself as it began to glow and devour every last ounce of ice magic he had inside of him! He could no longer feel the heat in his chest that the ice usually provided as he watched the purple aurora of what must have been his ice magic seep out of his chest and entering the dark void the inside of the silver chalice had until the very last of it was devoured!

"VIKTOR!"

Once the deed was done, Viktor no longer felt any strength, energy, or heat as he fell on his knees from the shock he was experiencing that he didn't notice how Yuuri's hands were gripping onto his shoulders. The other rulers could only stare in utter shock, the knights were traumatized and as for Yurio, all he could do was stare with disbelief and trauma. Before anyone could move another muscle, utter a word or make a sound, Adrik had already absurd Viktor's magic into himself and without hesitation he used his new power to create a burst of ice and the wind that sent Viktor and Yuuri blasting out of the castle through the walls and across the continent in a blink of an eye!

As they were being blasted away, Yuuri quickly held Viktor close to him as he formed a protective shield of ice to soften the ice king's landing as they crashed on the cold grounds that was just the shore near the ocean. The winds and Ice were strong enough to rip Yuuri off of Viktor as he nearly fell into the ocean had he not used a spare bow to prevent him from falling into the ocean as he looked up just a few feet away in front of him was Viktor laying on the ground, not moving a single muscle.

"Viktor..." Yuuri cried out but his eyes widened when he saw ice slowly beginning to devour Viktor starting from his legs! "No..."

Yuuri tried to get up on his feet despite how his hands trembled but for some reason, his feet were slippery on the ice so he fell back down as he looked at his legs to see what was going on but he mentally groaned at the sight of them. His legs were no longer able to move because the ice crystals were growing on them, making it impossible for him to walk to Viktor. So the only thing he could do was use his weak arms and crawl as fast as he could to reach Viktor, using very last bits of strength he had in him with only one goal in mind.

Save Viktor.

When he finally reached him, sitting on his knees, to say Yuuri was panicking and afraid was an understatement, he was terrified and at a loss at what to do!Not that he didn't know what to do, hell, he knew what he had to do, but how to tell Viktor was what he was worried about. This is all my fault, I should have made Viktor drink the stupid potion right in front of me! I should have done something to keep them from coming back, anything and then maybe they wouldn't be in this situation! I should have been stronger, faster then Viktor wouldn't have had his powers taken and dying because of me!

"Yuuri," Viktor's voice interrupted his thoughts, his cold right hand cupping Yuuri's cheek "It's okay, I don't blame you for anything.." Viktor felt like falling asleep from exhaustion, but his eyes never looking away from Yuuri as he was feeling the ice slowly getting closer to his chest. "For you love, it was worth it...It was worth it."

"Don't say that, you're going to make it Viktor," Yuuri assured, keeping his tears at bay as he watched Viktor slip into unconsciousness, his hand falling to the ground as the ice was already spread up his chest, now all that is left was the ice king's face before shattering him into the wind."You're going to make it, whether you like it or not, you're going to live on...You have an entire kingdom to lead, friends who are also your family waiting for you and need you to stay alive so I won't let you die! I won't!" He hissed from the pain that his beaten body received. My body is already running out of time as it is, this is the only way...

With that in mind, Yuuri closed his eyes as he clapped his hands together and on cue, his hands began to glow in bright neon blue light along with his eyes when he reopened them until his entire body was glowing with the aura of blue. Even though he was only three years old at the time, he could remember the first spell he was warned about back home in Hasetsu, an old spell passed down his ancestor, the girl who Adrik had fallen in love with and who escaped. A spell rumored to be the second way to save an ice wielder who's power have been taken from him and said to just be a myth. His parents warned him to never use this spell for it will cost him his own life in the process but now, he didn't care, his time was going to up anyway so he couldn't care less what will happen to him, he just wanted Viktor to stay alive. He just didn't expect this spell to really hurt like hell as he winced from the agony of his own magical force surrounding ever inch of his body but he only shook it off, this pain meant nothing now, he's used to it by now.

Without hesitation, Yuuri leaned down to Viktor's level, his hands gently cupping Viktor's cheeks as he lifted his face closer to his, their lips just inches away from one another. This spell can only work, with soulmates. He recalled, and within a second, his lips were pressed against Viktor's lips as he closed his eyes again, feeling his magic leaving his weakened body as the blue aurora of his power was surrounding Viktor's body, melting the ice away from him. This spell seems to resemble true love's kiss saving the day, but it could only save one while the other will soon meet an unpleasant end, however, to Yuuri, he was willing to do this. Please wake up Viktor...

Yuuri only opened his eyes a little to see that the spell was working as he watched the blue aurora completely surrounding Viktor as it soon entered the ice king's chest to engulf his body with new ice magic. He only felt his tears welling up again in his pale eyes when he saw a bright blue glow appear on Viktor's chest in a shape of a heart as he parted away from the kiss, removing his hands from his cheeks to brush the silver bangs a bit. Please just wake up, so I'll know you're okay...He mentally begged as he felt the ice crystals that were growing on his injuries slowly growing but with more frost now, he could feel the bitter cold nipping, making him feel even more exhausted than he already was but making it impossible for him to even catch his breath. I need to know you're okay...

Finally, from what felt like an eternity, Viktor groaned as his eyes slowly fluttered opened but squint from the dim light until his ocean blue met Yuuri's beautiful relieved face.

"Yuuri?" Viktor whispered as he sat up, noticing how his chest was no longer cold and all his energy had just returned! "What happened? What's going on? Why am I still here, shouldn't I turned to ice and shatter or something like that? How am I still alive? The chalice took my magic I was sure of that." That was when he suddenly felt something that was completely different, the magic energy that was inside him, it's new. "Why do I feel different?"

"That's good," Yuuri replied, not answering the other questions as his breathing was getting heavy as he looked down to the ground to make sure Viktor didn't see his eyes. "Your new powers should manage to adjust to your body in a few moments but you'll manage."

"New powers?" Viktor questioned, his mind was getting so confused. "I don't understand, how did that happen? We're both alone-" He couldn't finish his statement when Yuuri finally collapsed, falling forward from the exhaustion and pain:

"Yuuri?!"

Viktor was quick to catch him in his arms, holding him close with panic until he saw that the chocolate brown in Yuuri's eyes was gone, they were only dull and pale! His ocean eyes then glanced at Yuuri's entire body, it was cold to the touch but his eyes widened in horror to see ice crystals sprouting out of his beloved while frost and ice were devouring him! No...He couldn't have, there's just no way! "Y-Yuuri, please tell me you didn't do what I don't want to think you did," He whispered, practically begging for this to just be a sick joke. "Tell me..."

Yuuri only smiled as he looked up at Viktor, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I did..." His right hand landed on Viktor's right hand, their rings shining once more as he stated the answer Viktor did not want to hear. "I managed to transfer all of my magic into your body, to save you and just in time."

"But how?" Viktor demanded, feeling his fear grow faster as he watched the ice engulfed Yuuri's legs, getting close and closer. "Didn't you need the chalice and the holder of it to do something like that? I thought it was just a rumor about one transferring their ice magic to another! How that be?"

"Well, that's because it was a spell passed down by my ancestor, the ice queen of Japan because she witnessed her closest friend's soulmate do the same to save that friend's life during the tragedy, she didn't want this spell to spread so she kept it to her family bloodline," Yuuri explained calmly, "The magic transfer only works with soulmates, I'd tell you how it works but if I do that you might try to pull that spell...That was what I remember what I've learned back home."

"Soulmates?" Viktor gasped in shock, "Then that means-

"Yep," Yuuri assured with his smile, tears were in the corner of his eyes, "We're soulmates Viktor, your chest glowed with a blue heart when I performed the spell...But then again, I had a feeling we were, you were the one in my dreams all those years ago and even recently. In the first dream, you saved me from losing all signs of hope while I was still a prisoner in this hell of a continent, your promises gave me new hope that I would be free from that hell along with everyone else with me." He then chuckled in embarrassment, "God, I remembered that crazy night at Chris's palace, so you probably know what dreams I'm talking about, I still can't believe I did all that and still be able to talk to you."

"Then why?!" Viktor felt heavy tears welling up in his eyes, "Why would you give up your magic to save me when you could finally be free? You could have moved on and returned to your family back in Japan, your older sister, your mother, your father...They all think you're dead, they miss you and want you home so badly, and you even have friends who feel the same way! Why did you have to be selfish and give your entire future just to save me!?"

"Probably the same reasons you risked your life and came back," Yuuri answered back, "Selfish or not, it's my decision. I want you to be the one to go home, you're the one who has an entire kingdom counting on you, even your friends are counting on you and as much as I want to go back home with you...As much as I wanted things to turn out different, go home with you, see my kingdom, and family again and get married to stay together for the rest of our lives...I wouldn't have been able to go home either way."

"But we could have escaped together on those boats and figure out some other way to stop Adrik, we could have...You didn't have to fight alone, you're not alone. It doesn't have to end this way Yuuri," Tears were beginning to come down from Viktor's eyes. "There are so many ways we could've gone home together."

"I'm sorry Viktor," Yuuri apologized, his eyes were starting to feel droopy but he fought the urge to close them. He had to tell Viktor the truth now, there was no other way out of it. "But like I said, I wouldn't have been able to go home...Not in the state my body was in, even if we tried any of those other ways you suggested, time isn't on my side. I guess I should have told you the truth about me before I made that promise to you. "

"The truth about you? I don't understand, what are you trying to say?" Yuuri is just as human as I am...Viktor gulped, the ice had reached Yuuri's waistline. "You're Yuuri, a strong ice wielder, a friend to everyone who you meet, my lover, my soulmate, the hero who risked everything to get everyone to escape safe and sound. What truth could he possibly have that changes anything?

Yuuri inhaled some well-needed air and exhaling it before he finally responded, "I'm not even human...Well, at least not anymore."

"What?" Viktor's eyes widened with disbelief, there was just no way that what Yuuri was telling him was true, it couldn't be true. Yuuri, on the other hand, didn't seem fazed by the shock Viktor's eyes, he didn't expect any other reaction. "What are you talking about, of course, you're human Yuuri, you're right here in front of me. You're just messing with me right?"

"No, I'm not," Yuuri took another deep breath and then began to explain despite the pain and cold he was feeling. "I'm sorry, I should have told you but I'm no longer human, I wasn't human all this time, just a wandering soul who got lucky to create a physical body out of my ice magic to last this long...You see, my sister left an important detail about me, hell, even Adrik doesn't know about this...When I was born, my body was too weak and it had an abnormal amount of ice magic that could have killed me if it wasn't for my mother's healing magic to keep my stable. I had to be careful and not let it get out of control after that since my body still had to get used to having such an enormous amount but the years spent in this place didn't help. After killing Vicchan, I allowed myself to get overwhelmed by my own powers, it nearly killed me the first time if it hadn't been for the memories of the dream when I met you."

"It happened that night when I finally led my friends to a well-executed escape, sending them all back to the Kingdom of Japan, away from here. I stayed behind because I knew Adrik would go after us all, but I was too afraid to go back and having to face him again after those years of hell he made me go through, weakening my body every day with his ruthless training. I had to stay to turn the continent away from the kingdoms and since I didn't want to get caught right away, so that night, I had to disguise myself with a mask so he wouldn't recognize me right away. Once everyone left, Adrik had woken up from the sleeping spell I gave him, his storm was heading towards us so fast, I had to pretend I was taken back so they wouldn't follow me and from there, I was ready to give it all I got, even if it could have killed me but I was ready to do whatever it takes. I was already using a huge amount of my magic to try to move the continent away from the kingdoms..."

Yuuri didn't make an expression at that memory, it was only a blank one. "It was really draining, I didn't have much control at the time...Adrik may have forgotten, but I guess it was because I knocked him out too hard on the head but that night, he caught up to me and we had to battle it out. But when he saw that my friends didn't get too far on the boats, he was ready to go after them, take all their magic away; I lost it. I didn't want a repeat of Vicchan's death to happen again with my friends so I allowed myself to get overwhelmed by the immense power my body hadn't been able to get used to yet and caused a huge storm to block his way, moving the ice continent as far away as I could while in the mists of that, hitting Adrik in the head as well. I was so busy using so much power all at once, I didn't realize that I was at the edge of a cliff while my body was turning into ice from being too overwhelmed by my magic until a strike of lighting from the snow storm I created hit that cliff, sending me down into the ocean. I remember drowning, trying to resurface only to go deep down even more while I watched my own body turn to ice but I had so many thoughts racing through my mind during that but one thing stuck to me the whole time."

His fingers wrapped themselves around Viktor's hand, bringing their hands up to the ice king's chest. "I was thinking about you, the boy in my dreams who was my soulmate...I couldn't help but wish that I could have met you, apologizing to you for dying so soon and leaving you alone before we could have met. The next thing I knew, I began to glow as I felt my spirit leave my body, floating back up from the depths of the ocean. I had no idea what was going on at the time, I thought I was going to the heavens but I looked back to see my real physical body shattering from being turned completely to ice and disappearing into the darkness while I was still glowing. That was when I realized that my ice magic wanted to give me a chance to find you so it used its powers to separate my soul from my body, creating a new body of its ice for me but I had to forget everything about my past in order for that to work. However, if I were to touch the chalice, overuse my magic again or get badly injured, my new body would lose the strength to stay in form and keep my soul in it. Then, when I woke up again, I was on the shores of Russia and the rest is history...So in the end, I had to give you my magic, so it wouldn't die along with me while you suffered the same fate, that way you'd stay alive with new magic that can be used properly without limits. It's so strange, I never thought I'd die in my soulmate's arms you know, it's kind of comforting."

"Don't say that! There has to be a way, I don't care what you say there has to be some way to save you Yuuri!" At this point, Viktor only embraced Yuuri tightly as he let his heavy tears fall, his body was trembling while his mind was just too overwhelmed with what he just heard Yuuri tell him. "I won't let you die...I don't want you to die, please just hold on. You can't die now! Not after you showed me the true meaning of life and love! Not after all the promises I made to you in our dreams!"

"Don't cry Viktor, it's okay," Yuuri reassured as he watched Viktor continuing to cry anyway. "You did fulfill your promises, you taught me how to use ice magic."

"Nice to see that you finally woke up, Yuuri. Starting today, I'm going to be your magic mentor."

"Even if I didn't go home to my family, you reminded me of how it felt to be home. The nights we had dinner together with Yurio, training with the other rulers, making new friends...That was more than enough to feel like I was already back home with a family."

"Wow! Take a look at- Uh oh..."

Victor paled at the sight of Yurio's angry sabertooth tiger form as the irritated wild cat decided to chase down the king through the path they were supposed to keep going to without distractions in the first place. "STOP GETTING YOURSELF DISTRACTED YOU, IDIOT! IT'S ONLY BEEN A DAY OF TRAVELING AND WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND! EVEN YUURI ISN'T GETTING DISTRACTED AS YOU ARE AND HE HAS NO MEMORY AT ALL! GET DISTRACTED ONE MORE TIME AND I'M RIPPING YOU TO SHREDS!"

"Yurio, you know I tend to forget things like that," Victor reminded as he continued to run.

"I'M PAINFULLY AWARE OF THAT OLD GEEZER!"

Yuuri only sighed in silence at the sight as he and Makkachin were not far behind them.

...

"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!"

...

"Please forgive us," Guang Hong bowed his head. "It was part of the training session, we had no intention to hurt you."

"We don't want you to be afraid of us," Leo added. "We're very sorry."

Yuuri was still a little shaken from this training lesson but he did manage to relax and calm down enough to whisper, "It's okay, you were just doing your job." He was a little surprised with himself, it felt different to hear his own voice for once. He ignored the surprised looks Guang-Hong and Leo made as they embraced him, pretty happy that he forgave them. But if Yuuri had, to be honest with himself, it did indeed feel a little relieving to break his silence for once.

...

"Don't worry Yuuri, I promise you that the water is nice, besides your training has to do with the gem at the center," Phichit reassured as he grabbed Yuuri's hands and led him into the water. "This water is nice don't worry about it turning into octopi like what happened with King JJ's training, you have me and Victor cheering you on the entire time." With that, Yuuri gulped but followed Phichit into the water as they trudged to the giant gemstone with a very jealous Victor trailing behind them. To see the ice king of Russia jealous was a moment Phichit was sure to display later as he tried to contain his laughter while Yuuri was of course, oblivious to why the Thai king as laughing.

...

"All the time I've spent with you Viktor, on our journey, it was more than enough to make up for the hell I've been through," Yuuri smiled, feeling his tears beginning to fall as the ice reached his shoulders. "It feels so nice, you saved me so many times and I can't thank you enough for the precious memories we made together. I only wish I didn't have to say goodbye to you so soon."

"T-Then don't leave me," Viktor sniffled, tightening his hold onto Yuuri's hand. "Just stay close to me, that's all you have to do."

"I'll always be with you," A smile was made as Yuuri felt more of his tears fall. "My magic is inside you now Viktor, you may not see me but I'll always be close to you no matter what...You'll feel my love for you flow within you forever."

"Y-Yuuri..."

The ice reached Yuuri's neck, slowly making its way to his face as he wore that genuine smile despite the pain. "So thank you, for all that you've done for me, thank you for the memories Viktor...T-Thank you, for being my soulmate, for staying close to me, for loving me..."

Victor, tried his best to restrain his excitement he saw Yuuri approaching him even though he was avoided trying to look him at the eyes. But then once Yuuri was just inches away from Victor, his head was bowed down to look down at the floor are he cautiously pointed at the king. He gasped, then asked Yuuri with the gentleness that sounds like heaven, "Do you...Do you want to know what my name is?"

A quick nod was made in response.

With a warm smile, Victor benevolently wrapped his hand around Yuuri's hand as he bent down to meet his face. "Hi, I'm Victor Nikiforov. Nice to meet you, Yuuri."

...

"Yuuri," Victor whispered as they finally stopped skating when they found themselves in front of the entrance to the temple, but they just stood there not daring to enter. For some reason, they stood in their spot until Victor slowly turned Yuuri around as they looked over to the horizon to see the sun beginning to set in the twilight sky of blues, purples, and reds as stars began to sparkle one by one. Yuuri's eyes widened to see the new beauty of the world right in front of him with Victor right by his side. As if his dark thoughts have vanished into thin air as he watched, mesmerized by the sight.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Victor asked as Yuuri nodded. With a small smile, he continued, "It's as beautiful as you, Yuuri. I wanted to share these moments with you, and only you...You're very special to me." He was going to pull Yuuri into a hug but the young man gently pushed him away.

Yuuri looked ashamed as he whispered, "B-But don't you have a destined soulmate out there who should make you feel that way, Victor?" He looked down, unwillingly to look Victor at the eyes after saying that.

He felt his chin being lifted up by the ice king's gentle finger so his brown eyes could look up into his blue. Another gust of wind has blown through their hair as they gazed into each other's eyes for a moment, shimmering from the dim light the setting sun and appearing stars have provided. Yuuri was turning red again when he noticed how close Victor's lips were getting to his! He tried to find some to stop what might have come to be, but the way Victor's hand were holding his waist, pulling him close and how handsome those ocean blue eyes were, Yuuri couldn't find the strength to break free. He found himself ignoring all of his thoughts and warnings of his doubt.

"I truly believe that my soulmate is right in front of me," Victor whispered smoothly as his closed his eyes as leaned further down.

Soon, their lips finally met and touched as they shared a kiss the moment the sun completely disappeared into the night. Both of their hearts were beating fast, their chest along with the every other inch of their bodies was getting heated up with this sudden closeness they were in. Yuuri's eyes were wide open from shock and surprise as he found himself holding on to Victor.

...

"Thank you, for saving me so many times with your words," Yuuri whispered, knowing that his time was soon about to end as the memories continued to flash through their minds, his hands and arms already turned to solid ice crystal and frost, all except for his golden ring.

...

"Don't say that please, I don't care if our kiss didn't work...I don't care how much suffering will come our way but you're not the cause of it...You're not a burden, you're not worthless, you're not weak, you're everything to me Yuuri. You are not a no one, you are so beautiful, you are worth going through all this and look we don't have to go so fast, we can take it one step at a time...I just don't want anything bad to happen to you and end up being alone again. I don't want to lose you. I want to stay close to you, no matter the situation, place, magic, or position we end up in."

"Y-You won't lose me...But what if-

"No 'what if's, I'm not going to leave you whether you like it or not Yuuri...I LOVE YOU!"

...

"I still love you my Yuuri..." Viktor whispered, tightening his hold. "I knew that you weren't evil, you were hurting...I can see it in your eyes that on the inside you were hurting so badly."

"How...How can you still love me after all I've done to you!? I betrayed you...Attacked you...I-I caused all this mess..." Yuuri whispered back, trying his best not to shed any tears by his words. "You should be angry with me! Shouting, insulting me, hell, you should be punishing me for your suffering."

"How could I be mad at you?" Viktor responded with a stern voice, then softening it as he continued, "You're the one here risking everything, even your own life to help your friends escape before, and you're even taking a risk now to help us escape. I can tell you have been harmed, and I wasn't there to protect you...You're in pain Yuuri, you're just as human as I am. You're nobody's weapon or property whose freedom should be stolen..."

"But-"

"No buts!" Viktor interrupted, "No amount of excuses, or bad deeds you tell me will change my mind about how I really feel for you Yuuri! I love you now and forever, like it or not you're stuck with me for the rest of your life and every other life you have after. I don't care how many times I'll repeat and tell you but I will make sure you know that you are loved. I love you Yuuri Katsuki, so much that when we get out of here together, we are going to get married...I love you so much, I want to stay by your side forever," Viktor whispered and at this point Yuuri had some stray tears falling from his eyes. He then helped Yuuri get up on their feet as they held their hands close together, never parting as Yuuri pulled Viktor into another embrace, shaking from feeling a lot of emotions from what he had been told.

Viktor only returned the embrace in hopes that maybe it could calm his lover down until he heard Yuuri whisper softly, "Let's go home together."

...

The ice has reached Yuuri's face, nearly covering it entirely except for his eyes and mouth, which still formed that smile. "I love you Vitya...Truly and deeply, thank you for everything..."

"Yuuri," Viktor pleaded, knowing that it was already in vain but he still held on to his soulmate, his heart was already getting ripped to shreds as his tears fell so much. "I love you too! Thank you, for loving me back, for making me feel alive!"

"I love you, Vitya..." Yuuri repeated once more but this time, his eyes finally gave up the battle to stay open as they closed as he breathed his final breath, his mouth closed to a thin smile. ...I hope we'll meet each other again, in another life...The ice finally covered his entire face, leaving no trace untouched except for his ring as Viktor's sobs continued when the ice began to crack.

"No, Yuuri please don't leave me! I don't want to be alone again! YUURI!" He sobbed, watching the ice that covered his beloved cracking loudly as the clouds above him parted ever so slightly to allow the sun to shine only above them. "No, no, NO!"

In an instant, the ice finally shattered into millions of pieces in Viktor's arms, making it seem like he was hugging himself as the winds began to stir up! "NO! DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY! PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!" His eyes were blinded by heavy tears as he struggled to hold on to some of the pieces of ice left but the winds were able to gather every last piece from him and fly it all away to disappear in the sky above as Viktor got up to try to stop the ice from flying up but the ice only slipped through his fingers. All he could do was watch until the very last of the what was left of Yuuri disappear in the sunlight, the clouds instantly covering its light as Viktor fell on his heavy knees, trembling like a leaf as he wrapped his arms around himself as if he was still hugging Yuuri. His eyes suddenly spotted a small light on the spot where Yuuri was last on, he slowly reached out for it as his eyes widened to see and feel what was that item on the ground.

Yuuri's golden ring.

That precious ring was the only thing left behind as Viktor teeth clenched, trying desperately not to break down again but holding that ring only brought those memories of his lover back in his mind.

...

A sunrise.

The very first sunrise he hasn't seen in all those years of the pain and fear he lived through. This sunrise overwhelmed his body with this new feeling of bravery, maybe even a bit of confidence that the world and his life could be better. This feeling he was being engulfed was hope! His brown eyes sparkled in astonishment as the glass of his glasses reflected the light of the sun as he sat there watching this phenomenon occur right before his eyes. All he could do was smile with his mouth opened in awe as he felt some tears stinging his eyes but they were tears of joy.

Seeing Yuuri's eyes sparkle with hope and fascination brought a sense of pride, happiness, and even satisfaction in Victor. He smiled to see that Yuuri was enjoying the view, that it, in fact, gave the young ice wielder new hope for the world. When he saw those tears, he gently wiped them off from Yuuri's eyes and then a moment later, he felt a small weight lean against his shoulder with messy rave hair allowing him to realize that Yuuri was still tired.

Feeling at peace upon seeing that sunrise allowed the drowsiness to win his battle as Yuuri leaned against Victor's shoulder to fall asleep with a smile. He was so happy that he couldn't express how grateful he was to Victor for experiencing this sunrise. He was so grateful that he didn't realize that before he fell back asleep, he softly whispered just loud enough for Victor to hear:

"Thank you...Victor."

...

"I-It hurts..." Yuuri whispered with frustration. "It hurts to know that I might never see my family again and that my friend is gone."

"I know Yuuri, I know it's hurting you," Victor soothed, holding him closer. "But I'm right here, I'm right here to help you. You're not alone, Yuuri. And I promise you that we'll find your family together, we'll travel the ends of the earth if we have to but we'll find them Yuuri. I'll be there with you throughout the whole time."

"Victor, please stay close to me...For now..."

Viktor warmly smiled as he sat back down to hold Yuuri once more very protectively. "Of course."

...

Without warning, Victor felt someone grab his hand and yank him over to the dance floor as he suddenly led to spin around. When he stopped spinning, his ocean blue eyes met the chocolate seductive orbs of Yuuri as he leaned forward and whispered softly enough so no one else would hear, except for Victor of course. "Dance with me." Hearing Yuuri's voice sent Victor's soul to the underworld as they both engaged in a dance, their hands never letting go. They both smiled and laughed as their legs lifted high in the air with their hands holding one another that were aiming to the sky.

Once they put their legs down, Yuuri lifted his hand up in the air as blue ice flew out to created more patterns of diamonds and feathers! Then he had Victor lean back as he used one hand to gently cup the ice king's cheek as the other hand lifted his leg up in the again. Their eyes never parted from looking at one another as Yuuri grabbed Victor's hand to make him spin again

...

At long last, Yuuri looked over to see Victor's flushed face as he giggled while leaping from the pole to glide toward him by effortless turning the floor path he walked on into shimmering blue ice. He then jumped into Victor's arms while he laughed and hiccuped until he looked up to his eyes, his gorgeous memorizing eyes. He squinted for a moment until Victor placed his glasses back on the drunken man as if he was searching for something or trying to remember a memory. Yuuri felt his eyes getting heavy but he still looked up at Victor's eyes until he finally smiled with his eyes glowing with a realization of the answer he was searching for.

"You know Victor," He softly slurred as he ran his fingers through the platinum hair that felt like silk. "You almost look exactly like this boy from this forest I was lost in a couple years back but he had longer hair...I may not remember all of my past but I could never forget him...Never...He promised to bring me back...Home.." With that, he finally gave into the drowsiness as he fell asleep on top of Victor's shoulder, not even realizing the shocked look on his face when he heard what Yuuri whispered in his sleep. "...Stay close to me...Victor..."

...

"YUURI!"

Viktor didn't realize that it was even possible to cry that loud with more tears raining down from his eyes as he held the ring close to his chest but the pain was still fresh and unwilling to cease. He was just so upset, angry with himself for being such a failure to the only one who painted the world with colors he didn't see before! He just wanted Yuuri back, embracing him, holding him close and protective without a care in the world. Without having to worry about any evil planning to separate them. Just like in his first dream they shared together, as soulmates.

...

"See, I told you I'm well trusted," young Victor laughed, but when he turned to face young Yuuri, he saw him crying again which triggered his concern. "Hey, are you okay?"

He slowly nodded as he turned to face Victor with his tears falling as he made a determined face. "Can you teach me how to do that ice magic? Because if I learn, then maybe I'll find my way home! Please teach me."

"You're far from home, huh?" Victor whispered, not even sure if the boy even had ice magic, to begin with. But seeing his determined adorable face, he didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise. So with a bright smile, he sat up as he nodded, "Don't worry, I'll teach you everything you need to know and we can find your home together."

Hearing this made the boy's eyes widened with happiness as he smiled and embraced Victor tightly. "Thank you! You're really going to teach me!" Being embraced by the boy and seeing him smile so happily caused a sudden warm and fuzzy feeling that was blooming within Victor as he failed to notice that his face was turning a little red.

"Yeah..."

...

"I-I'm so sorry, I failed you Yuuri," He sobbed out loud. "Please, this has to be a dream, this can't be real! Please! I want you back so badly! Yuuri! YUURI!"

Viktor: *Dead*

Yuuri: *dead*

Yurio: Well damn, *turns away* I'm not crying at all.
