Chapter Twenty-One: "I Love You."
Yuuri cried on Viktor's chest, holding the Ice Prince close to him as tight as he could. He couldn't believe this; Viktor had just been stabbed by the man who cursed him with his powers and was now dying.
"Yuuri..." Viktor whispered as he petted Yuuri's soft black hair, causing the peasant boy to look up at him with tears still streaming down his face, "You... Found me."
"Of course I found you, Viktor! I couldn't let you take on JJ by yourself just because you wanted to protect me!" Yuuri said with a crack in his voice.
Viktor's tears streamed down his face, but not as fast as Yuuri's tears did. "At least I got to see you one last time before I-"
"No, Viktor! Don't you dare say that! You will not die!" Yuuri yelled as his tears increased. He didn't want his first love to die now, not when he didn't even get to kiss Viktor out of love.
"Yuuri..." Viktor whispered, a smile spread across his face as he petted Yuuri's cheek, "I love you."
Yuuri's eyes widened as his cheeks blushed out, smiling happily and nuzzling his hand. "I love you too, Viktor. I love you more than words could ever say."
And at that final sentence, Viktor's head hung back as he closed his eyes and his heart stopped beating. Yuuri's eyes widened when Viktor's hand fell off his face and onto the floor. "No, no, no! Viktor, wake up! Please wake up, Viktor!" Yuuri begged as he shook the dead prince in his arms, beginning to sob again and held him tightly.
"Viktor, you can't leave me now! I love you, Viktor! From the moment that we first met each other, I knew that there was something special about you! I always believed you were real ever since I read about you in that story. You were kind, lovingly, graceful, amazing, and everything that I fell in love with. But most importantly, I fell in love with your heart because of how big it was. And you may have put on a mask to hide the fact that you were happy with your powers, but I loved your powers too! Your powers are what make you now, Viktor, and you may hate them but I love them... Just as much as I love you, Viktor."
Yuuri laid his face in Viktor's chest, sobbing his eyes out and held him close. He couldn't believe it; The man he had fallen in love with was dead and gone and there was nothing he could do to bring him back. He looked up at Viktor before he leaned down to his face, brushing his own lips against Viktor's.
Suddenly, a bright golden light began to appear all over the kingdom and across the land but Yuuri didn't notice as he kept his eyes closed. But suddenly, he felt the lips kiss back and in shock, he pulled away and opened his eyes. To his surprise, he saw Viktor alive and a smile on his face, his blue eyes sparkling. "I love you the same, Yuuri!" He exclaimed and pulled the peasant into a tight hug.
"Viktor!" Yuuri cheered out, returning the hold as he placed kisses all around the Prince's face. "B-but how? How are you alive again?"
"I don't know, but it must've been because you said you saw behind my mask and actually kissed me in return. I guess the curse is broken now." Viktor explained.
"Wait, does that mean you have control of your powers now?" Yuuri asked, helping his lover to his feet.
"Only one way to find out." Viktor said as he walked to the end of the balcony of the West Wing. He held out his arms and lifted them up, all of the snow on the lands began to go away, especially in Hasetsu. And as soon as the snow touched the sky, Viktor snapped his fingers before the snow went away. "Now I love control."
"VIKTOR!" Yurio yelled out as he ran up the stairs, pulling the two lovers into a hold. "You two are such idiots!"
Yuuri and Viktor laughed out loud. "Yeah, we know, we know." Viktor grinned.
"Take it easy, Yurio. They just won a battle against a wizard." Otabek said and ruffled the Russian teen's hair.
"So... You're the Ice Prince and you're now Yuuri's lover?" Phichit asked as Yuuko and Takeshi stood behind him.
Viktor looks proud as he wrapped an arm around Yuuri's shoulders. "Yes I am and I am very proud to be Yuuri's lover and I will love him no matter what."
Yuuri blushed and smiled happily before he looked over at his friend, wondering how he would react. Phichit looked at the silver haired man for a moment before he smiled. "Well then, welcome to the Yuuri Protection Club!" The Thai man exclaimed.
"It's nice to know that you found someone who loves you, Yuuri." Yuuko said happily.
"And I almost thought you would end up alone with cats." Takeshi said with a light laugh, which earned him a slap on the arm from his wife.
Eventually, once they had left the kingdom and the three fairies decided to take rule over the Red Kingdom, the townsfolk, Yuuri, and Viktor made it back to Hasetsu and we're all surprised to see that the small kingdom was no longer winter, but now summer instead. Viktor then proclaimed that he was the prince and would gladly take rule over the kingdom, in which the townsfolk were all glad that they finally had a ruler and especially a nice one.
Because of the happiness, Viktor decided to throw a grand ball at the castle and everyone in the town was invited. Surprisingly, the castle was back to its former glory and was back to being beautiful before Viktor was cursed. Everyone stormed into the castle and began to dance and thank the lord that everything was good in the world.
Viktor and Yuuri, however, danced as if no one was watching them. They held each other tightly with a smile on their faces. "I can't believe that Prince Viktor Nikifolov is my lover." Yuuri said happily.
Viktor laughed out happily. "And I can't believe that Yuuri Katsuki is my love. I'm the happiest prince in the whole world."
The peasant laughed out before he kissed Viktor happily, wrapping his arms around his neck. "I love you so much, Viktor."
"I love you too, Yuuri." The Ice Prince said in return, kissing his lips in return as snow began to fall around them.
The three fairies watched from the window, smiling happily at the couple. "Ahh~. Young love." Christophe sighed happily.
"They're so adorable, aren't they?" Guan Hong squealed out.
"Yeah. But we should probably change the ending of Viktor's story, huh?" Leo asked as he held up Yuuri's back, beginning to add more to the story.
The three fairies laughed before they continued to watch the prince and the peasant dance with each other in love and in happiness. Even Yurio and Otabek danced with each other, stealing a few kisses from their lips. Even Yukov was there, a secret smile on his face.
And like how every story ends, Viktor and Yuuri, the three Fairies, Viktor's adopted family, Yurio and Otabek, and the townsfolk of Hasetsu lived happily ever after~.
