'What does he want…what do I want?'
'Why do I want him to stay close?'
Will become like weeds or flowers they weren't sure, but it was just too raw, too soon, to name. Neither believed in fairy tales, there was no room for that.
Yuri's face was rosy as he licked his lips absentmindedly. "Wh-What are you d-doing to me?"
"Hell if I know…"
"Ha~ugh…" Yuri drawled in a low groan as he shook his head. "Hell it is then…why do you even use that word anyway?"
"Does it really matter?" Victor purred.
Yuri's brow furrowed as he chose his words carefully. "It does to me…you…keep hurting me…"
Victor brought his head back sharply only to give Yuri a soft look. "And you are insufferable…hurting me in your own way."
"…sorry…" they breathed out together.
'Not really.'
'Oh hell no.'
Yuri licked his dry lips unable to look away. "Hrmm, are you going to make me fall under again?"
Nikiforov pulled back. "No, I refuse to use hypnosis usually. The first time was actually an accident. Besides, heh, it's not fun that way," he teased.
Yuri fidgeted. "I see…so now what?"
"Careful," Victor warned in a whisper, placing a leg between Yuri's somewhat forcefully, "you wriggling about may bring out your so-called sadistic side."
Yuri gasped before he scowled. "Oh shut up! You know I'm right!"
The Noble grinned impishly and rested his forehead on top of Yuri's. "Whatever you say..."
Yuri turned his head away when Victor moved to kiss him again, however, without missing a beat, Victor moved onto sliding his lips on the side of the young man's neck.
"I-I wish...you would st- ah!" Yuri stammered, lying to himself.
He felt himself grow warmer and warmer. His quickening heartbeat not helping. The warmer he got the more he looked to Victor to ease it, his senses with their cool touch, and, yet, he did not want to stand for it.
'God! I slipping and I don't want to fall!'
"Hmm?" Victor moved on to peck and trace his lips along Yuri's sternum. He was five buttons down his butler's shirt when he felt Yuri go from pushing in vain to digging his finger tips into his silver hair.
"Mast- umph! Mmm~"
Victor popped right back up and planted another kiss right on Yuri's unsuspecting mouth and started to pull at Yuri's tucked in shirt when there was a knock at the door.
The pair froze.
Yuri knew he'd be mortified if anyone walked in.
And the quick knocking continued.
"Master Nikiforov? Excuse me, but can I come in? I have an urgent message for you."
The knocker was Axel.
Victor dropped his head onto Yuri's shoulder and let out a long sigh before stepping away.
"Straighten up your clothes," Victor ordered, pointing to Yuri's disheveled state.
"Er…Master Nikiforov?" Axel asked politely.
"Yes! Come in, come in!" Victor brushed back his hair.
She opened the double doors and proceeded to walk straight to the desk where Victor had slid over to sit on his desk chair.
"Here, sir, the letter, I was told by delivery it was urgent."
Victor held out his hand. "Ah, all right."
"I also need orders for this afternoon. Plus, if I may be so bold, I haven't seen Yuri today, sir."
Victor shook his head. "Do not concern yourself. Yuri will be doing separate tasks from you three from now on."
She curtsied. "Of course, sir, I apologize."
Yuri considered himself lucky the triplet paid no heed to look behind her and continued to straighten his clothes while cautiously making an exit out the doors. Yuri didn't care if Victor wanted him to stay or not for he was out of there. The moment he started for the kitchen he overheard Victor nonchalantly order Axel to tell Yuri to head upstairs. The Master's excuse? Well they finally had another man in the house and Victor felt the sisters shouldn't have to bother cleaning another man's room.
'Of all the sexist, brazen, bold-faced, grr~ah!' Yuri quietly seethed.
"Of course, sir, I will tell Yuri immediately the moment I see him. Where, may I ask, did you send him?" She asked innocently.
Yuri looked up to ask the heavens. 'Why me?'
"At this point, I'm not sure where he will be," Victor replied coolly.
'What a liar!'
Yuri began a mad dash to get away from the study. However, the clipping noises from his shoes gave him right away.
"Hey, Yuri! Wait up!" Axel called out.
"Sorry! I got to get something!" Yuri exclaimed over his shoulder.
"But!"
"Sorry!" Yuri shouted to drain out any of her words.
'Fuck no. I'm sorry, Purple, but fuck no!' Yuri declared to himself.
Yuri blindly ran and ran. To him, if he didn't hear it, then he didn't have to do it, that didn't want the sisters to get in trouble, but if he didn't hear it, then what can be done, right?
"Yuri! Come on! Stop!" Ms. Purple begged as she ran after the agile man.
'Lalelalela~! I can't hear you~! Lalalalela~!'
By not paying much attention to where he was going, Yuri was more focused on just losing her. With running, ducking, checking to make sure he wouldn't be spotted or followed, Yuri eventually found himself utterly exhausted. He was also starving. Paying no mind to this fact was hard, but staying clear of being asked to go clean the Master's bedroom clearly trumped any need for some bread.
'I would have spun through the kitchen I suppose, but if the other two sisters were there…well no matter I'll go into here for now.'
Completely lost, Yuri decided to go through a random door in the east wing of the mansion. Yuri cautiously opened the door and went through the entrance backwards to make sure one last time no one was watching. With a quiet click the door was shut, Yuri turned around and slid down onto the carpeted floor. While sitting there in the dark room for a few minutes, Katsuki soon heard the muffled voice of Axel calling for him. The man shuddered despite her encouraging words. He just couldn't, he didn't want to hear Ms. Purple officially tell him the orders.
When Yuri no longer heard her voice he got back up, walked over to the curtains, and pulled each to the side to let the light in. Katsuki turned around and registered he ended up in a modestly sized guestroom. With a high vaulted ceiling, gray walls and matching carpet the room actually looked rather dreary and hardly used. In front of him was a small fireplace and a black and red chair was placed by the hearth.
"You're going to apologize to her sooner or later, right?"
Having no words, Yuri's shoulders drooped as he sighed
"What kind of reaction is that for I wonder?" Victor stoked.
"It is because you are here!" Yuri blurted, spinning around.
With his legs crossed and arms folded sat Victor in the chair.
"Besides!" Yuri cried. "How the -no- don't answer that. You'll just say you Colbrans can and dismiss the notion."
Victor leaned back, putting his arms behind him. "You are rather angry for one who has been caught. I would expect you to show a bit of a guilty conscious for running."
"I'm only guilty of not exiting the house," Yuri spat.
Victor stood up. "Without expressed permission you would have been charged with trying to escape by my peers. Even I couldn't protect you from being killed immediately. Are you really that callous of your own life?"
Yuri pointed at Victor. "It is you who is callous! You killed somebody and don't care!"
Victor stood up. "She came after me with a knife."
"Shut it! You had power to stop her otherwise and you know it! You're splitting hairs and putting on airs again," Yuri spat before he resigned with a frustrated sigh. "I'll go clean your room, find Axel and apologize. Try anything funny and I will put up a fight."
Victor took a step back and furrowed his brow. "Is...is that why you ran? Do you honestly find me that lecherous?"
'You hurt me! You keep being handsy! You wanted me to clean your room idiot! How else-?'
With his hands on his hips Yuri squinted his eyes while he sighed again. "Of course I do! How do you explain our-?" Yuri held up a hand and looked off to the side. "Don't answer that. I'm off."
Yuri briskly walked out of the room and was thankful, more surprised actually, Victor did not stop him. While he walked to see what needed to be done in the grand bedroom, Yuri was rather proud he might have told Victor off. For the rest of the day their paths did not cross.
Nor did they the next.
Nor the next…
Notes: Sweet Lord this was long... XD
