𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎 ☹︎ VIKTOR ARCANE

CHP 4. HISTORY

♡︎❥ " A PROMISE IS A PROMISE "

Y/N walks back down the steps of the tower. Getting back down she rushed to the door to go find either Jayce or Viktor. She already wiped the tears and calmed down but she still couldn't get his words out of his head.

A non-existent voice telling her the things to do, it all seems so right yet so wrong at the same time. She grabs a drink from the bar as she listens to the chats around her. It seemed almost distant as she remembers that one night she had. Her eyes glanced over towards Viktor who was talking to Sky.

Oh, Sky, a sister from another mister. Y/N loved her more than anything, of course as a sister. She would give anything for her. And... she has.

They have been friends through Viktor who introduced each other when they were still in the undercity. It was... funny really, Sky was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. But she gave up the life of a supermodel for a life of being a scientist's assistant. Y/N knew why, and she hated the reason with everything she had. But she couldn't bring herself to hate her.

...

"Y/N! I-I need to tell you something", Y/N looks over at Sky, they were teenagers, but still had the minds of someone wise. "Yea?", Y/N sits down on the old decrepit couch in the middle of nowhere in the undercity. Sky looks puzzled as she fiddled with her hair which was kept down nicely. Her eyes glimmered and shone underneath the sun's gaze as she stares at the water.

"I-I... do you like him...?", Y/N stares at her, confused. "Who?", Sky sighs softly, "Viktor". Y/N's eyes widen. "Cause I think... I think I love him".

It didn't feel like anything, but it also felt like Y/N's whole world fell apart. It wasn't fair, it never was, she loved him first, and oh god did she love him. But why does she still nod and smile at whatever Sky said? She wanted to be selfish, and take him away from her, she could be selfish. But this is Sky. She could never watch herself destruct, she could never forgive herself for doing that.

So in the end she grinned and nodded.

"Please! Give me this one chance to have him, and if... he doesn't want me back, he's all yours, just please give me this chance, I need this chance". Y/N held Sky's hand, her eyes started to tear up as she so desperately tries to calm herself down. "Have him, he's all yours, Sky", Sky started to cry as she hugs Y/N.

"Promise..?",

"I promise".

...

For years, Y/N tried her best to pull away, push him back, stop loving him, she felt like she was dying. How can she ever stop loving her soulmate? Watching them talk, the way Sky fiddled with her hand as she looks at Viktor who looked uninterested but still polite. Y/N chugged in more alcohol, her head started to hurt as she puts her hand up to ask for more.

"Alright, I think that's enough", A voice beside Y/N scared the living hell out of her. "Jesus Christ, Jayce you can't scare me like... that", her eyes followed Jayce as she stares at him intensely. "You need to go to sleep, usually you're the first one out cause you wanna work more on the Hexcore, but looks like something was going on", Jayce chuckles slightly as he wraps one of his arms around Y/N's shoulder who stumbled into his chest. She shakes her head. "Jayce, whatever you're thinking of... I am not drunk, I just... I just need painkillers, that's all", Jayce laughs a little. "That is what a drunk person would say, come on, we're getting you back to your room".

Y/N looks over her shoulder to see Sky still chatting to Viktor but this time Viktor was staring right at her. She gives him a cute smile but closes her eyes in pain from the overwhelming headache she was getting.

Singing.

Sky laughs at something Viktor says as she stares at him in the eyes, gosh were his features beautiful. She felt like she was singing, with birds and the bees, she felt like she was in a flower field whenever she was with Viktor. "So anyway, what have you been up to with Hexcore?", Her eyes were practically love hearts as she talks.

She sunk more into Jayce, she stares at Sky and Viktor, it wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. She wanted him, more than Sky! Why can't she move..? Why can't she run to him and take him away from her? Well, after all, a promise is a promise. And she wasn't going to stab Sky in the back.

...

Sky's heart felt like it was dying, but surprisingly in a good way. She felt alive... she never felt more alive whenever she was with Viktor. Talking to him for hours on end could be a dream she has wanted to become true for years of knowing him. She always wondered why they haven't.

...

"Are you done yet?!", Jayce says outside the door, Y/N was inside a bathtub filled with water as she lifts her head from the rather cold water, running her fingers through her hair as she stares straight ahead. She seemed sober and her headache had subsided. The water runs down her face as she dives her head into the water again as a way to distract her mind from Viktor and Sky.

???

It's been a few days now since the party. Y/N was inside the room with the bluestone, her hands furiously writing as she sighed and got up from her chair, she was going to close the blinds as it was blinding her but as she turns around she was met with Viktor. She nearly screamed and fell onto the desk behind her. But caught herself.

"Viktor what the hell?!".

Viktor chuckles cutely, "what are you working on?", Y/N rolls her eyes as Viktor completely dismisses Y/N's fear. "I'm working on different ways to reach the power of the Hexcore, since we stabilised it, I don't think it's able to reach its full power", Y/N finished lowering the blinds a little as she gets back to her desk. Pointing to drawings she's drawn to show how she would be able to take more power out of it.

Viktor smiles softly as he stared at Y/N. Without a thought, he gently caresses her cheek. Y/N stops talking as she slowly looks up at him.

"Viktor..?".

"I... do not know what I'm feeling", his face was red as he leans closer to Y/N who backed up more onto her desk.

"No...".

Y/N couldn't help herself but close her eyes shut as she feels Viktor's warm breath on her lips. She inhaled shakily as she waits. Sky. She realises what they were doing.

Pushing Viktor away, she gasps for air. Regretting every moment of that. "Wh-", Y/N stares at Viktor who was in shock, she could never forgive herself for nearly kissing him and nearly hurting him...

Viktor had caught himself by sitting on the chair as his cane had fallen to the ground. He stared in shock at his hands but also at Y/N who was now in tears. "I-I'm so sorry!", she yells and runs out of the room.

Viktor was left in that room. The massive windows shone a light into the room but only half since Y/N put down the blinds. Viktor placed his arms on his legs as he ran his fingers through his hair. He should have thought things through, not just instantly go in and kiss her that's... shit... now he has to apologise.

Even though he was the bad person in the situation he felt his heartbreak into a million pieces. He thought she loved him back, even just slightly... that would... that would be enough. He yelled in frustration and started to tug on his hair. Tears started to fill his eyes as he tries to wipe them away.

"Viktor? Oh my god, Viktor are you okay?!", Sky. It was Sky's voice. But Viktor had blocked it out with one question in his mind.

Did he just lose his soulmate..?
