A/N: I got so busy today after school there was no way I would've gotten this chapter out sooner. But I'm so glad I have it out now!
Yuuri laid on his bed for the last time before his move to the master suite. He curled into a ball, grasping a pillow as he let the tears fall free down his face. In one day he had to face the master, marry him, and be told that another clan is possibly after him. It was far too much for him to bear. He hadn't been here for long yet so much has happened in his life in these past two days than his entire life, and he had to suffer the loss of his mom, dad, and sister in one day.
He heard someone knocking at his door, and without being invited in, the person let himself in. "Yuuri?" Yuuri sat up when he heard Phichit's voice call for him. Phichit came and sat down on the bed next to Yuuri. "Your bodyguard sent me up to check on you while he cleaned up your meal." he began rubbing circles around Yuuri's back to soothe the sobbing man. "What's wrong?"
"My family's dead, I was kidnapped, I'm not allowed to leave the walls of this castle, I was forced to marry a man I don't even like, and now we're all threatened because I'm living here." Yuuri listed off everything that's the matter. Another wave of tears hit and he had to catch his breath after saying so much in one breath while crying.
"It's okay, Yuuri, we'll take care of the whole thing. Master would never let anyone touch you, he loves you too much. We were all forced from our house after we were turned into a vampire and our families are all dead too. But we're all okay. We've all learned to look past it-"
"But mine didn't die of natural causes!" Yuuri shot back. Phichit seemed to jolt back. Yuuri hadn't realized how angry he sounded to Phichit. He put his head in his hands and apologized. "I can't take much more than I've already endured."
"It's okay, Yuuri. And I'm sorry to hear about your family's passing." Phichit giggled to show that he's not upset with him. "What I'm trying to say is that things like this take time to adjust to. None of us were happy to nearly die, turn into a vampire, then had to leave our friends and family behind. Wounds take time to heal."
Yuuri sniffled then replied. "That's what Yuri said too." Yuuri shrugged and adjusted himself on the bed. "I don't know. . . I'll try to be more positive. I've already grown to appreciate some of you."
He gave Phichit a small smile and Phichit smiled back. Phichit patted Yuuri's thigh then stood up. "It's nice speaking with you, Yuuri. Do you want me to send up your bodyguard or are you just going to head to the North Wing after you're done?"
Yuuri got up from the bed. "Do you want to go back downstairs with me? Chris is supposed to leave in a little bit."
"Sure, I'd be happy to." for the first time since getting here, a genuine giggle escaped from Yuuri's lips.
Phichit and Yuuri make their way back downstairs and to the foyer. Chris and Yuri are also there as Chris gets himself ready for departure. They both look at the staircase as Yuuri and Phichit make their descent.
"I'm ready to take off." Chris said as he picks up the backpack laying next to him and slung it over his shoulder.
He's stopped by Yuuri who takes him into a hug. "Be safe. Come back." Yuuri whispered to him.
Chris chuckled and hugged the man back. "I promise I will. I'm always safe." they pull away and Chris waves goodbye to the others. "I'll be back as soon as I can." he opened the front entrance, walked into the darkening January evening sky, and closed the door behind him.
Yuri looked over at the man he was assigned to take care of. "How are you feeling?" he asked the man.
Yuuri sighed to let out any tension that he kept in his body. "Better. I'm ready to accept my fate, even if I don't like it."
"Shall I walk you to the North Wing?" Yuri asked him.
Yuuri nodded and smiled. "That'd be nice. Thank you, Yuri."
When they get to the doors of the North Wing they automatically opened up for them unlike earlier. Yuuri hugged his bodyguard goodbye. Yuri lightly shoved Yuuri away. "I don't do hugs." he said but gave Yuuri a small smile to let him know that he shouldn't worry about his actions.
Yuuri smiled back then walked through the doors and entered the North Wing. He bowed at the two guards like Yuri had did earlier then turned the corner to walk down the corridor and find the suite when he saw the master waiting for him. He put his hand in Yuuri's, this time, Yuuri didn't react and let the master hold his hand. If he wanted to get used to his new life then he'd have to accept his arranged marriage.
"Are you all ready for the move?" the master asked and squeezed Yuuri's hand.
Yuuri nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be."
The master takes Yuuri all the way to the other end of the hall. Not a single door was down this hall except for the double doors that the master was taking him to. They stopped right in front of them and the master let go of Yuuri's hand. Yuuri looked at the master after his hand was free.
"This is my room. I spend most of my time in here or down in my office. There's a bed that you can sleep in, a couch to relax on, a TV to entertain, a bathroom to wash up, as well as other stuff you might like or need." he told Yuuri then opened the doors.
The master suite was huge. It was one big open room with a kitchenette, a small living area with a fireplace, a large king bed that looked so soft and comfortable. There was a small hall in the corner that had two doors branching off of it, a bathroom and a large walk-in closet that was filled front to back with fancy clothes that Yuuri's never seen anybody be able to afford clothes as beautiful as them.
When he was shown the closet Yuuri touched some of the silkiest garments in there. "You are free to wear whatever you want, if you fit." the master told him. "Get comfortable. I'll be downstairs in my office if you need me." he was gone after he said that but Yuuri hadn't noticed as he marveled over all of the clothes. He picked out a pair of silky pajamas and rubbed his fingers along the smooth fabric. He threw them on and went to the bed. It was just as comfortable as it looked and he rolled around under the sheets enjoying all the warmth the bed gave off. He was quick to fall asleep that night, and it was one of the best sleeps he's ever had.
