Chapter Fifteen: The Story of the Swan Prince

"Viktor, it's time to get up." Yuuri whispered to the sleeping Ice Prince, shaking him gently.

Viktor let out a little groan as he opened his eyes, seeing Yuuri in his beautiful blue costume that his sister had made for him. She also managed to make a purple costume just for Viktor since Yuuri begged for it. "Yuuri.. You're up early." The prince said, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

Yuuri laughed out a little, nodding his head. "Yeah, I know. I got up early because I couldn't sleep too well. Nerves and all."

Viktor looked at his friend and held his hand tightly, eyes looking into eyes. "Yuuri, even if we don't win, I want you to know that I am very proud of how far you've come. You've come from falling on your bum and doing flips that I learned when I was twelve. I'm so proud of how far you've come." He spoke in a loving tone.

Yuuri's face became red like a cherry as he squeezed Viktor's hand. "Th-thank you, Viktor. And I want you to know that it has been a gift just to know you and a blessing for you to be my friend."

It was the Prince's turn to blush out, giving a big smile. He didn't notice that he and Yuuri were leaning into each other's faces. "Yuuri, there's something I must tell you..."

"Me too, Viktor..." Yuuri whispered as he closed his eyes, the two male's lips an inch away from touching. They were so close, only a few more centimeters away...

"Yuuri! Viktor! Get ready, you two! It's almost time for the festival!" Yuuri's father called through the door as he knocked on it hard, causing the two men to accidentally bump each other's heads hard.

"C-coming, dad!" Yuuri called as he rubbed his forehead.

Viktor laughed a little, rubbing the spot a bit. "I suppose we can tell each other later, huh?"

Yuuri put on a fake smile and nodded his head. "O-Okay. Let's get breakfast then." He said as they both walked out of the room to eat.

Yuuri cursed the world quietly. He needed to tell Viktor his feelings right away or he would never get another chance again. What if Viktor found someone else to break his curse and fall in love with him? What if he found someone that was better than him? Yuuri decided to ignore those feelings and continue to eat with Viktor, getting ready for the festival.

Eventually after breakfast, Viktor got in his costume and looked just as beautiful as he always did. He did a playful little spin before looking at Yuuri. "Now I can match your beauty, Yuuri." He complimented.

Yurri squealed out at that before he took Viktor's hand. "Come on, let's get going!" He said before calling bye to his parents and his sister.

Viktor couldn't help but chuckle. He knew Yuuri was nervous, but he wasn't. Even if the two didn't win, he knew that they would still have fun no matter what happened.

When the two finally arrived at the festival, it was surrounded with all kinds of stands filled with food, games, paintings, and other interesting things. The two looked around at the booths and stands since they had time before skating. Yuuri spotted a jewelry booth and looked down at the rings, seeing a ring with a bright blue diamond in the middle. That ring would look good on Viktor.

"Yuuri!" The two heard Phichit's voice call him. Yuuri turned around to see his friend with Yuuko and Takeshi.

"Hey guys! What are you two doing here?" Yuuri asked.

"Hi!" Viktor exclaimed with a wave.

"Takeshi and I are doing the skating competition and Phichit came for the food." Yuuko said with a grin.

"I also came to support you two!" The Thai skater said with a laugh before looking at the two men, seeing their costumes. "Are you two also competing?"

"Yes we are! I think we signed up to be the last ones to perform." Viktor exclaimed happily.

Yuuko smiled happily, patting both their shoulders. "Well, I believe you two will be great."

"Yeah, but just try beating us!" Takeshi yelled with a laugh before the group heard a bell being rung loudly, "Oh. I guess it must be time."

"Good luck, boys!" Yuuko cheered as she ran off with the other boys.

"I'll be cheering for you the loudest, you crazy kids!" Phichit called after, disappearing with the couple.

Yuuri and Viktor laughed at Yuuri's friends before the peasant sighed. "I can't wait to finally tell them you're the prince."

Viktor sighed. "Me too. I don't like lying to people about who I am." He cleared his throat to prevent his thoughts from getting too dark. "Shall we go then, Yuuri?"

Yuuri looked up at Viktor with a grin, gladly taking his hand. "Let's go, your highness."

At the ice pond, everyone had gathered around to watch the pair skating competition. Everyone seemed to be skating, even little kids. Right now, Yuuko and Takeshi were finishing up their routine called, "Mine and Yours."

Viktor and Yuuri couldn't stop holding each other's hands for the longest time. They found comfort in being close and touching each other, no matter what form. But they knew that they could do this.

As Yuuri's friends ended their performance and staked off the ice, the two men skated onto the ice and got into their poses. "And for the last dancers of the day, Yuuri Katsuki and Viktor... Nikiforov?" The announcer gasped out at the name.

Everyone seemed to start whispering; The lost prince was back? And he was with a peasant boy? What does this all mean? Yuuri began to get scared; What if the townspeople started to get violent?

"Go, Yuuri and Viktor!" Phichit cheered without a second thought, a smile gracing his voice.

"Come on, you stupid heads!" The two men both heard Yurio scream, standing in the middle of the stands with his now boyfriend, Otabek, who gave them a thumbs up.

The two looked at each other before Viktor gave a smile. "Don't worry, Yuuri. Just dance with me." He whispered with a wink.

Yuuri gasped with another blush before he grinned back. "Right."

The two gladly skated to the song that played for them, dancing the story to the audience. Everyone was shocked at how the lost prince and a peasant boy could dance as one person and tell a story with so much emotion. It was incredible!

However, Yuuri didn't pay much attention to the ground; The only person he paid attention to was Viktor and how loving he looked at him. It made his heart leap into the clouds as the two danced the story of the Swan Prince.

Eventually, the music changed to where Yuuri was "killed" in the story, falling into Viktor's arms as he laid them down on the ice, eventually "killing" himself as well. The dance was finished as the two men listened for any sign of noise.

Finally, after a second, the audience cheered loudly for the two men which shocked them a little. They didn't expect applause or support, especially after the stories of Viktor.

"Well, I do believe that we have the winners of this event!" The announcer gladly cheered, "The winners of this skating tournament is-"

"ME." Yelled a dark voice as the Dark King, Jean Jack, appeared in front of the audience and the skaters. On his shoulder was Seung-Gil in his raven form, looking serious. "Hello, my faithful followers."

"Viktor... Is that...?" Yuuri asked, looking up at Viktor who looked scared but also angry.

"Yes, Yuuri." The Ice Prince replied, glaring at the king as his normally soft eyes were surrounded in anger and a slight bit of fear. "This is the man that cursed me."

HAHA, cliffhanger! Sorry not sorry! Also, yes, I did base the dance around the story of Swan Lake, mainly the idea of the old animated movie, the Swan Princess. I was gonna base the idea off of a bit of the Black Swan movie, which started Natalie Portman, but I thought that that would be a little too dark. Anyway, make sure to fav, follow, and comment to see more and let me hear how you think this story will end! Bye for now, guys!
