When Otabek begins to wake the first thing he feels is the horrible aching of his head. He squints his eyes open, looking around his bedroom quietly as he tries to recall exactly what had happened.
Yuri had left… He remembers this and feels a pang in his heart, understanding that he won't likely see the beautiful angel again. He wishes things had gone differently and Yuri had chosen to stay with him.
As he looks around the room his eyes land on a silver haired creature that sits on his bed, looking rather uninterested as he examines his perfectly manicured black nails.
He looks to Otabek with a rather annoyed expression. "You weren't supposed to let the angel go. That adds a rather annoying and complicated aspect to this."
Otabek tenses, gritting his teeth as he looks to the creature he can only describe as a demon. "I'm glad he's gone. He deserves to be free." He sits up, holding his head with a wince. "He's not coming back."
The demon laughs softly. "Don't be so sure, human. I'm sure we can find a way to persuade him to come back. He just needs a little… motivation…" He smirks, standing and stepping forward to land a solid kick to the human's stomach.
Otabek grunts as the wind is knocked out of him. "He's smarter than to come back. Angels can't feel."
The demon laughs softly. "That's where you are wrong. They are quite capable of feeling. I'd even say they feel emotions stronger than you or I do. Now, where are those feathers he gave you?"
Otabek glares at the demon. "They're mine. I won't let you hurt him."
The demon laughs softly. "It's not my job to harm him. It's my job to take him." He slides his fingers into Otabek's hair, holding it in a tight fist. "Now, let's go have some fun."
Yuri feels strange as he flies off, feeling an odd heaviness in his chest and finding his cheeks moist with tears he hadn't realized he had been shedding.
He wipes them away quickly before he lands to compose himself. It would be rather obvious he's feeling something if he returned to the gates while crying. He swallows thickly, knowing he has a several hour journey ahead of him.
He hadn't expected this to happen as it has. He hadn't expected to suddenly wish he was back in that human's bed, answering endless questions about him and his kind. He misses the annoying thoughtfulness of Otabek constantly doting on him to ensure he has everything he could need and is comfortable.
He sits in a tree for a few hours as he struggles to calm himself down. The longer he sits there the stronger his urge to go back to Otabek becomes. The urge slowly turns into a dark feeling as though something is horribly wrong.
He understands the urge as one to protect a human that's in danger. It's not the first time he's felt it, as he has often helped humans as a power.
The moment he realizes what the feeling indicates he jumps up into the air and begins flying towards Otabek's home, praying it's not what he thinks it is.
As soon as he lands he rushes into the house, unsheathing his sword and preparing himself for a fight.
He quickly realizes it's exactly as bad as he had thought as he finds Otabek tied to a chair, his face black and blue from a beating and a gag secured in his mouth. His breathing is rough, his shirt torn open to expose his chest which is covered in claw marks.
Yuri immediately rushes forward, working to untie him as he looks for the demon that did this.
As soon as the gag is out of his mouth Otabek looks to Yuri. "Run! Get out of here! It's a trap!"
Yuri clinches his teeth, already aware of this as he turns quickly, just in time to avoid the swinging of a large demonic sword. He quickly and easily blocks it with his own sword, glaring at the silver haired demon. "You shouldn't be here."
The demon grins. "Yet I am. Now, why don't you make this easy so your little human friend doesn't have to get hurt?"
Yuri growls angrily. "He doesn't have to get hurt in the first place! Get the hell out of here, asshole!" He steps back in time to miss another swing of the dangerous weapon, quickly making a jab with his own blade.
The demon smirks a bit, having no fear as he duels with the smaller angel, determined to win so he can return home to his mate.
Yuri manages to get Otabek free of his bindings despite the blade that keeps swinging at him. He's desperate to keep himself and Otabek safe. He won't admit it out loud, but in his fighting his main motivator is keeping the human he cares about safe.
Otabek watches on, trying to stay out of the way, trying to think of anything he can do to help Yuri.
Eventually Yuri makes a wrong step and ends up tripping backwards, grunting as he swings his blade up to protect himself. It's not him he should be worried about though.
In the same motion the demon uses to knock Yuri down, he grabs Otabek and quickly presses the blade of his sword to the delicate and fragile skin of the human's throat.
Yuri tenses as he watches, scrambling to his feet quickly. "Stop! Don't hurt him!"
Otabek grits his teeth, feeling the sharp steel kissing his skin and creating a shallow cut. "Get out of here, Yuri! You have to go! Your life is worth more than mine!"
Yuri glares at Otabek. "Shut up! Just shut up!" He looks back to the demon coldly. "Let go of him."
The demon smirks, knowing this is right where he needs to be. "Drop your sword and kick it to me, small one."
Yuri keeps his gaze icy, hesitantly putting down his sharp sword and kicking it toward the demon.
The demon bends down and picks it up, sliding it into a sheath at his waist. "Very good. See, that wasn't so difficult, now was it?"
Yuri takes a step forward, his hands up in a non-threatening way as he approaches to try and help Otabek. "Fuck you." He spits at the demon.
The demon only laughs at this. "What an interesting mouth you have on you. Step closer. Move slowly. It would be a shame if I were to flinch and accidentally cut open your little lover's throat."
Yuri hisses at the threat as he steps closer as he's told. "He's not my lover."
The demon smirks. "Could have fooled me." Once Yuri is close enough he moves his blade down and shoves Otabek away and grabs Yuri, shoving him against the wall roughly with the sword pressed to the angel's throat. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small vial of a lavender colored liquid, pulling out the cork and forcing the liquid into Yuri's mouth.
Yuri clenches his teeth, trying to escape from the demon's grasp as he feels the fluid slide down his throat. It burns unpleasantly as it settles in his stomach, the familiar burn of consuming something he isn't supposed to.
His body feels heavy as the demon pulls the sword away from his throat, smirking softly. "Don't worry, angel. You'll be able to rest a bit on our trip to Hell. The last thing I need is to have you misbehaving." He picks Yuri up and throws him over his shoulder.
The demon grins as he looks over to the human. "You were a great deal of help, human. As payment I will make a deal with you. When you decide what deal you would like to make, simply call for Victor." He reaches into his pocket to pull out a piece of what appears to be bone that has been carved, tossing it to Otabek before he walks out, carrying the now unconscious angel with him.
Otabek catches the piece of bone, swallowing back tears as he runs after the demon to try and stop him. "Stop! Put him down! You can't take him!"
He runs as he watches the demon take off into the air, unable to catch him in time to stop him.
He falls to his knees, pressing his face into his hands. Yuri doesn't deserve whatever is going to happen to him. He blames himself for not doing more to protect Yuri. To make sure he didn't come back.
If he hadn't tried so hard to make the angel care for him in return, perhaps Yuri would have remained unfeeling and would have known better than to come back for him. He brought this angel to ruin, and he doesn't know what to do to save him from this.
He won't give up until he has the precious blonde angel back in his arms.
